MoraRach, how long have you been married?
RsozMemberMy s
Children’s yeshiva is wonderful in all other areas, chinuch, level of yiddishkeit, rebbeim, etc. but the Rosh yeshiva did admit that he extended the Sunday hours because “the parents wanted it.” I asked, “which parents?” since I was never asked! And so I decided to call the arents of my sons’ classes to see where the majority stood on this issue, and sure enough, it was a small minority who were all for these longer hours, but when I called the mother who is known to be half of the wealthiest parents of the school, known to give major donations, and hosts of the yearly women’s Nshei parlor meeting, her reply was, “oh I’m thrilled about the longer Sunday hours. My boys don’t have anything to do at one on Sunday afternoons;let them stay in school longer!” I was disgusted and felt like asking, “did it ever occur to you to designate Sunday afternoons as a good family day to actually SPEND SOME TIME with your kids and take them out somewhere for fun?,” clueless and undressing of having children.
RsozMemberHe refused to go for help after he hit his wife and citied and the neighborhood found out. He thinks he doesn’t need it, very sad bu true story.
RsozMemberA very wonderful Rov ,wo feels sorry for him, and knows of his shalom Bayis major problems (his fault for sure–is wife is a wonderful, normal, ehrliche doll), has been tring to help him stay calm, has allowed him to have a position in his daytime kollel for young college boys, which I think is Terriible because he could chas vshalom have a negative effect on these young men. He has been asked to leave several shuls because of his rowdy unstable behavior and getting drunk on Shabbos mornings, but this Rov thinks he’s helping to save him and his marriage. I believe it’s a mistake, but who am I…a simple regular guy with just my opinion.
RsozMemberOhel accepts donations of wrapped goodies with proper Hashgachas.
February 14, 2013 12:08 am at 12:08 am in reply to: No Parking Anytime Signs in Front of Shuls #930069RsozMemberPopabarabba, I thought your original post was meant to be facetious, and I’m somehow hoping it still was, and that some people here mistakenly took you seriously. If you were in fact serious, then you have some major problem with thinking its ok to block someone’s car that is parked in their own driveway, even for “only a minute” (and in all honesty, when is it ever just for a minute?!)! My friend, who lives near Coney Island ave and Ave J, a very congested shopping area, had her car blocked while she was parked in her own driveway, by someone who I’m sure also meant only to inconvenience her for “just A minute.” And just at that “moment,” my friend got an emergency call saying her father had been rushed by ambulance to the hospital! And since she couldn’t get her car out of her own driveway, she was forced to lose precious time by having to call a car service to rush her to the hospital! Do you really still believe Hashem doesn’t mind that kind of disgusting lack of Mentshlichkeit? Even “for just a minute?”

So for every time you think it is “just an hour or so” that you need to park there to go Daven, or shop, or just because youre a bit too lazy to look further for a LEGAL SPOT, remember, you may very well be taking away a spot from, and causing additional pain and Agmas Nefesh to a handicapped person who will have to park further away because of your inconsideration, and breaking off the law!
RsozMemberAll good signs that Moshiach is on his way. Let’s all try and be the best Jew we can be and Daven for the Geula quickly!
RsozMemberTrouble in marriage is a clear Nisayon from Hashem, and analyzing it psychologically, without Davening for help, will accomplish nothing,

July 18, 2012 4:33 pm at 4:33 pm in reply to: What to do for dinner when your wife is upstate in the Catskills #970328RsozMemberTell your wife to cook extra for Shabbos and Sunday and Take home lots of leftovers from Shabbos!
RsozMemberBest place in all of Brooklyn and even Manhattan is Glatt ala Carte on 18th ave.
July 18, 2012 4:22 pm at 4:22 pm in reply to: Sheitels and cuts- quality and customer service #910780RsozMemberHow do we know that those touting certain shaitelmachers here (like Claire’s) aren’t The shAitelmacher the self trying to get herself customers?.?
RsozMemberFor them to check all the eggs (they’re not;they CAN’T!) and being more careful with kashrut. And I’d like to see those rabbis who speak at peach hotels to explain to us why they don’t stay all peach and actually eat there?
RsozMemberMy feeling is that if someone advertises that they are a teacher or a Morah, they have a bigger responsibility to be accurate in spelling and grammar than the average person who is not out there educating our children. I personally was horrified to get homework sheets from my child returned with misspellings from his teacher! And you can be sure I called her on it.
RsozMemberGlatt ala carte on 18th ave in Brooklyn is by far the best restaurant I’ve ever eaten at! T-fusion doesn’t come close! What’s the deal with T-fusion not allowing you a choice of side dishes with their very small menus of steaks? What if you don’t WANT French fries?! They don’t give you a choice,,,not exactly a good place for a dieter or someone who just doesn’t happen to want French fries with their steak! Glatt ala carte has a much more varied and extensive menu, many sides to choose from, delicious appetizers and salads… Everything I’ve tried there has been absolutely delectable! And their service and ambience are classy and wonderful…better than any manhattan restaurant! Try it!
RsozMemberDelicious goulash with chicken or beef: brown onions in oil with garlic, add beef (either chuck or pot roast), or chicken pieces, sprinkle generously with paprika or smoked paprika, black pepper and more garlic, and brown well on both sides…then add peeled potatoes (and optional: a sliced green or red paper) and some water and cook until soft, smash some of the potatoes to thicken the dish so no water remains, then add some barbecue sauce and cook some more. Delicious
Simple Baked salmon recipe even kids will love: pour some lemon juice over salmon filets, then smear with Chrayonnaise or horseradish sauce, (or mayo, or mayo mixed with barbecues sauce), then sprinkle with black pepper and garlic powder, and sprinkle generously with corn flake crumbs to completely cover sauce. Then bake covered for 1/2 hour, then uncovered for a while until top is crispy. Enjoy!
RsozMemberThe zucchini soup some have written in with is so much better if u also add 1/4 cup rice (to thicken), and some chicken soup mix for a delicious flavor that’s much better than just the typical salt and pepper. So the recipe is: 5 medium-large zucchini, peeled and cut into thick slices, 2 onions, chopped, 1/4 cup uncooked rice, black pepper o taste, garlic to taste, chicken soup mix to taste. Put all into pot, add enough water to cover vegetables, bring to boil, simmer for an hour or so until very soft, blend with immersion blender. Delicious!
As for CHOLENT: Brown onions and garlic in oil, add meat (flanken, cheeks, turkey drumstick. Beef bones…whatever you like) and brown on both sides. Add any combination u like of beans and barley (soaked in advance), cut up potatoes, kishke, and spices: smoked paprika, black pepper, onion powder… Bring to boil, lower heat and simmer until soft, then add any flavor barbecue sauce and continue cooking.
RsozMemberPeople are so ignorant when it comes to these wishful thinking charms. Shlissel challah, for example, was researched recently and found to have zero halachic or even Jewish basis atall, and is in fact a Christian concept. Just Daven, there’s no other magical cure for anything.
RsozMemberTo 1st Timer: it’s precisely comments like yours that are truly ignorant and unhelpful. Think b4 you speak.
RsozMemberHere’s some advice I think most people need to hear: don’t ever assume someone you meet has children, or that they have more than one. Don’t ask, “HOW MANY CHILDREN DO YOU HAVE.” or “How many other children do you have?” while most people are lucky enough to have kids, and most have more than one, it is quite painful if you’re among the minority and you’re asked those questions.
RsozMemberI have a very close relative who’s a high ranking police officer. Most cops will in fact give you a break if you’re honestly apologetic and polite, with or without the card. If u have an attitude, the card won’t help. Here’s some good advice: don’t break the law and you won’t have to worry about any of this.
RsozMember@yeshivish. I could’ve written your post, as I too came from the same exact type modern orthodox background , went completely otd for a number of years, and came back much more Frum than b4, b”H. In my case, I went off partly because I became friendly with people who were experimenting with the other lifestyle, and mostly because I was emotionally neglected at home and was searching for happiness and attention in all the wrong places. What I’m still trying to figure out, so many years later, is why I stayed in the other lifestyle for so long since it really didn’t bring me any happiness or peace of mind, only guilt and pain…
