I think Sam2 was referring to this year specifically (Motzei Shabbos Yom Kippur).
oomis (and anyone else confused with this), the reason why we make a Borei Meore HaEsh on Motzei Shabbos is because Adam first “discovered” fire on Motzei Shabbos when the Ohr Haganuz disappeared at the end of the first Shabbos. So, as a praise and thanks to Hashem, we light a fire on Motzei Shabbos and make a Bracha.
Yom Kippur has a different reason. On all Yomim Tovim we are allowed to cook and use fire for “ochel nefesh”. On Yom Kippur all melacha is forbidden (like Shabbos), making it stricter then all other Yomim Tovim. Because we could not use fire on Yom Kippur, we light a candle and make Borei Meore HaEsh to show that fire is now permitted to be used.
This is only done on a “Ner ShShavas”, literally, light that rested, meaning, a candle that was lit before Yom Kippur. This is to show that we had a lit candle avaliable and we did not use it because on Yom Kippur we are forbidden from all melacha, even ochel nefesh. If one has no Ner SheShavas he does not make a Borei Meore HaEsh. (There is a mitzvah to find one and make the Bracha.)
However, when Yom Kippur is also Shabbos, we have both reason to make the Bracha, Motzei Shabbos and Motzei Yom Kippur. In this case one need not use a Ner SheShavas but can light a new fire and make the Bracha. It is preferable to use a Ner SheShavas so you get both reasons.

Besamim is not used on a regular Motzei Yom Kippur but on Motzei Shabbos Yom Kippur it is used. Hinei Kel (until Borei Pri HaGofen) is omitted on a regular Motzei Yom Kippur but on Motzei Shabbos Yom Kippur it is recited.

I have found it hard to light a Havdala candle from the bottom of the Yartzeit (24 hour) candle because the wax has basically run out and the flame is fighting to stay alive. When I try lighting the candle, the flame goes out.
I thought of a solution to this problem. Instead of using a regular 24 hour candle, use a 48 hour one stop this way the candle has plenty wax underneath it and is not struggling to stay alive. The only problem with this is, what to do with the rest of the candle? I saw that it is not good to extinguish a candle that was burning all Yom Kippur. I may be wrong. I have not tested this idea out yet.
When Randomex says:
Also, if there is a space in the user’s name, clicking on their name will take you to an error page – manually replace the spaces in their name in the page URL with dashes (-) to see their profile.
he is referring to:

Also note that many times posts have been approved and then removed for different reasons. This can be very confusing when reading threads because people responded to something that is not there. Just gotta love with it.
Even worse then that, some users have been completely removed, including all their posts. Basically the same problem as above but bigger…
Anything else?
A uniform resource locator (abbreviated URL ; also known as a Web address , particularly when used with HTTP) is a specific character string that constitutes a reference to a resource Most web browsers display the URL of a web page above the page in an address bar . A typical URL might look like: http://www.example.org/wiki/Main_Page
Source: Wikipedia
Basically, the web address.

Newbies, remember to replace spaces in names with a dash [-] in
the profile URL – otherwise, you’ll just get an error page.

Randomex, about bullets, sorry but I don’t have a code for it. I got it from my Samsung Keyboard. If you are using a regular computer, you can grab symbols from Character Map (or just go to Symbols in Office) and paste them. Don’t know if they will all work, but it’s worth a try.
What about Pesach Blues? That’s another funny one from Abie.
Which, in your opinion, is better; Ninth Man I or Ninth Man II?
I’m not a big CY(T) person so I can’t really help with that.
Abie is THE BEST Jewish English song writer of all time. He also has very good Hebrew songs but I love (almost) all of Journeys!
Someone mentioned here (different thread) that “Dreams Come True” from Journeys IV is originally a Diaspora Yeshiva Band song (and Google seems to agree). Anybody know the story of this song? Who composed it? Etc…
(Randomex, I will try to get to our other discussion after YK.)

So. Did posts formerly appear without being previously approved by mods, unlike the current system?
Nope. The post was approved and then later removed (though I can’t fathom why, especially because all it was was a compilation of thread titles…)
This happened recently and (add far as I know) there haven’t been any changes. But I’m not a Mod™ and can’t say for sure.
Anyone else concerned about the Permissions this app requests?
Randomex:
RebYid, would you recommend a Play-Pen for each one and a chickensitter?
Just did kapparos with a chicky!
And I like chicken too!
Randomex, what is the answer to the chicken song?
I think the song is entitled “I’m so proud”
You want me to start a thread for you? 😀 There is already a thread to discuss usernames but I don’t got the patience to find it right now…
Am I even allowed to be talking to you (boy/girl)?!
MBD has a song where he says, “…I’m so proud to be a Jew…”
I tell people I’m a Chossid of Hashem!
BTW, on the album “There’s A Place In My Mind” (featuring Avrumi Flam with guest singers Yehuda! and Dov Levine) there is a song entitled “Be Proud That You’re A Jew”!
First explain why YW needs all those permissions. There is no reason YW needs ANY of the permissions they are asking for! After you remove them, then I will try out the app. (Android)
We need an exclusive “Shidduchim CR” for all these (offensive) Shidduch threads. How about ImNotAMotherYet.com? (And maybe all the Seminary threads can be there as well?!)
😉
It was a contest?
I’m assuming that was addressed to me.
No, there was no contest, but coffee addict said:
it just shows how many ppl follow the news outside of ywn
I was pointing out that I probably knew before he did.
OK. When I read 42’s “MT” I thought, “Is he referring to CC? It could be a joke, but why would he joke about such a thing? So I figured “Chelsea” is his daughter’s screen name on the CR (not that I remember such a poster, but I don’t remember everyone.)” Well, judging from DY and CA’s response, it was a joke.
BTW, I probably knew about the birth before most of you…
CIJ, ha ha!
Non-Jews make Yo Mama jokes.
Jews make Yo Mama-in-Law jokes.
Q: if a branch of a tree is hanging down and in the way, is one allowed to cut it? Can one pull out a blade of grass for no reason (discussing Shemitta only and not killing Malachim)?
Mazel Tov Nechomah! May be continue to grow in Torah, Avodah and Gemillas Chasadim! You should only have nachas from this one and all the other ones!
Only Simchas!
” Oh Hashem is our 10 days
I keep failing, please let him leave
me BE!!!”
I know how you feel.
Well written!
Somehow we will overcome him! (but don’t ask me how!)

Mazel Tov 42! That is the way to start the new year! May you have much Nachas from this one and all other einikelach!
Ha ha! What ever you want. But the real Q is, did I?
Wasn’t Arthur’s sister DW?
CIJ, that was very good and cute! Welcome to the CR!
Randomex, I was joking.
I did read (all vol. of) CBB but MANY years ago and did not “chap” the reference.
MYOB I think I read and Mastermind I’m not sure. What were they about? Was Mastermind about hacking into the school’s phone system and canceling school??
Also read the BY Times and Junior and Bakers Dozen and Operation Firestorm(?) and they were all connected sort of, if it remember correctly…
Yes Googlex, it is YBC’s “In a Song” . Eli Gerstner took this song and changed around words for RCCS and he and a child soloist sang it (using originally recorded music and choir from the original song.) If you want to find it, search “Eli Gerstner RCCS”.
“harmful easy” is SwiftKey thinking it knows what I want to say better then me… It was meant to say “harmful way”.
Which one of you is Gavriel?
My song is not really fair because it is not a complete song and the words have been altered from the original song. But it is sung by the same persons/group as the original. Hint: think of the words “confusion in their eyes” and see what you come up with!
Let me know when you want the answer…
I don’t think I know it, but is it about Rav Eliezer Silver going into
convents (etc?) after the War and identifying the Jewish children by saying “Shema Yisrael” ?
That would be Yaakov Shewkey’s Shema song. These words are not from there.
Haha!
How about this one:
“…wrecked by pain, confusion in their eyes, young and helpless, feel all alone…”
Annoying Aunts

It is a joke. You just have read between the lines of the argument to arrive at the joke.
I understand the whole “argument” is a joke, however, this thread is for real jokes (which will make people happy/laugh. If you would like to argue humorously (or not…), start a “General Shmooze Thread #6″…
And you are welcome!
Did I go into the wrong thread? I clicked on “Jokes” and found some weird argument/discussed going on (though I do have to admit that PAA’s bar story/joke was pretty good!).
Please take your arguments somewhere else and let’s get back to jokes…
I think I’ve been here for 2-3 weeks, but I’m not sure…
Randomex, I hope you were joking! But if you really were offended, I am very sorry! I did not mean it in a harmful easy at all.
