About Time: “A proud talmid of R’ Shmuel Berenbaum”
or
“R’ Shmuel Berenbaum said…”
rema:?
whats the heter to date in 9th grade? is there one, or to ppl just to it? or do you guys really thinking about marriage in 9th grade?
i seriously doubt that making more houses willruin the makom torah aspect of kj
PBA: lol
FFBBT: im just a young kid without much experience in the world, and therefore, while i wish you the greatest hazlacha in life, i dont really have any good advice.
however, im a little confused about your situation. are you thinking about going to seminary next year? if so that would put you in 12th grade. that seems a little early to get married, unless you are now chassidish (which is not the way your story sounds). and even if you think you are ready to get married now, how to you know this boy if your in 12th grade? the only possibility i can think of is that he, like you, moved over from left to right, and you know him from your MO days.
if you already the normal age to get married, wouldnt it be to late to go to sem?
whatever age you are, are you sure this boy would marry you? are you sure hes ready to get married? have you/are you dated/dating him?
have you discussed marriage wit your parents yet?
Veltz Meshugener: Maskim. one case where this is especially true is yeshishness. ones either more yeshivish, or less yeshivish. more modern, or less modern. there is no set threshold for “yeshivish”, it all depends on perspective.
CIJ: turn off your phone for weeks at a time! how can anybody manage?
(i sincerely hope that was sarcasm)
which google do you use?
because that not what it says on mine.
i dont think Rabbi Dovid Meisels was saying that one should only eat foods that our ancestors ate. i think that he was saying that the food served at melava malka should be like the food served st the shabbos meals. therefore if one would have sushi at their shabbos meal, they could have sushi at melava malka. as he says “The melava malka meal should have the character of a Shabbos meal”
rema & YYBC: srry, my second post got approved before the first one, so originally you only saw the second post, not the first. but anyways, one should not think that e-cigs are harmless.
srry i meant Rema711 not YYBC

at least the ecigarettes don’t cause u cancer
debatable. a new study just came out that vaping in fact does cause cancer.
from New England Journal of Medicine
by R. Paul Jensen, B.S.
Wentai Luo, Ph.D.
James F. Pankow, Ph.D.
Robert M. Strongin, Ph.D.
David H. Peyton, Ph.D.

Formaldehyde, a known human carcinogen found in cigarette smoke, also dwells in the vaporized liquid of popular electronic or e-cigarettes, researchers said Wednesday.
E-cigarette sales are booming in the United States and many hoped so- called “vaping” would replace tobacco smoking and be a panacea for the nearly 160,000 lung cancer deaths associated with conventional cigarettes.
But according to an analysis published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine, the exposure to formaldehyde from e-cigarettes, based on similar chronic use as tobacco, could be five to 15 times higher than from smoking cigarettes.
“It’s way too early now from an epidemiological point of view to say how bad they are,” said co-author James F. Pankow, professor of chemistry and engineering at Portland State University in Oregon. “But the bottom line is, there are toxins and some are more than in regular cigarettes. And if you are vaping, you probably shouldn’t be using it at a high-voltage setting.”
Pankow and his colleagues analyzed aerosolized e-liquid in “tank system” e-cigarettes to detect formaldehyde-releasing agents in “hidden” form at various voltages.
They found that vaping 3 milligrams of e-cigarette liquid at a high voltage can generate 14 milligrams of loosely affiliated or “hidden” formaldehyde. Researchers estimated a tobacco smoker would get .15 milligrams of formaldehyde per cigarette or 3 milligrams in a 20-pack.
Pankow said that those numbers “may be conservative.”
There are more than 8,000 chemicals in tobacco smoke, so it’s hard to pinpoint whether formaldehyde is the main culprit in cigarette-related cancers.
“A lot of people make the assumption that e-cigarettes are safe and they are perfectly fine after using for a year,” said Pankow. “The hazards of e-cigarettes, if there are any, will be seen 10 to 15 years from now when they start to appear in chronic users.”
E-cigarettes were first invented in China in 2003, but they started appearing in the United States around 2006. A five-pack of flavor cartridges costs about the same as a pack of cigarettes and starter kits can cost between $30 and $100.
A cartridge or tank contains a liquid of propylene glycol, glycerol, or both, as well as nicotine and flavoring. These chemicals are heated to the boiling point with a battery-operated atomizer, creating a smokeless vapor that is inhaled.

Rema711 -“an orthodox teacher”
He’s Not Orthodox! He [sic] doesn’t keep Halacha.
have you ever made a mistake in halacha in your life? i think so. does that make you non-orthodox? i think not.
The prob you have is that you don’t know whose Really Frum & who isn’t!
what are you trying to say? that the conservative rabbi is frum?
even if he is a Tinnuk Shenishba, hes still not frum.
or are you trying to say that the orthodox jew who tried balling him out isnt frum? not knowing how to give mussar dosnt make one non-frum.
or are you tring to say that the teacher isnt frum? see above.
just post what you want to say to the mod with “mods/mod/moderator(/mods only, if you don’t want anybody except the mods to see your post)” b4 it.
e.g. “mods can you make my subtitle <insert desired subtitle here>”
or “mod only: why was my post blocked?” (although they don’t like that particular question).
remember, the mods moderate everything you post, so they will see your request.
if hes your slave, dont do it 😉
on a more serious note, i thank the bori olom for every single thing that happened/is happening/will happen to me and to all. i am eternally grateful and in debt to HBKH, and i appreciate all the good He does to me.
“…kosher pizza and for creating swimming pools. thank you for latkes and for patchkes, and for snowstorms that keeps us home from school”
RY: lol, really funny
or just get contact lenses
i think the answer of mdg, among others is not applicable here.
from what i understand, brotherofurs can not change this kids lifestyle by dictating who he should hang out with or change what society he is part of. yet brotherofurs want to teach this kid that even though others are not shomer, he should be. the question is how to teach him.
i have also heard that the tune for barachu on the yamim noraim are from har sinai. i quote takahmamash “Is it true? Who knows?”
what is it?
streekgeek: very nice. i know which email list ur on, i get it also ;), were on the same boat. good idea to share it with the cr.
<finger wag> tisk tisk tisk.
in which book is ur quote mentioned
i also believe that in the footnotes of “Lords and Ladies” Terry Pratchett actually invents the new york second
“* The shortest unit of time in the multiverse is the New York Second, defined as the period of time between the traffic light turning green and the cab behind you honking”
-Terry Patchett, Lords and Ladies
Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.
and lord and ladies 😉
catch yourself: are you part of the cr discworlders club?
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/the-cr-discworlders-club/page/5#post-507835
totally agree to the theme of this tread. but one of the best ways to teach hashkofos and emuna is to have a rebbi who really belives and wants to share his emunah
i dont think that a “boro park yeshiva boy” would want a pair of beats
guys lets remember that it is usser to ever hate another jew. even when the torah tells us to hate a mumar or other jew who dosnt follow the torah (source anybody?), the mitzva is to hate when a person does an averia, not to C”S hate the acutal jew himself. so while NKs svarous are krum, this does not give anyone reshus to hate a supporter of NK, only to hate the svarous of NK.
so lets not insult other jews, rather lets have a torahdik conversation.
(mods if another post already went through from me this night on this tread, pls delete this post)
OURtorah: wow, gr8 perspective!
“That’s cuz you can choose what to see, yesterday I had stuff that any normal person would of seen as bad, but after thinking about it, Hashem handed me nisyonos that are helping me work on myself, stuff that I told HASHEM erev rosh chodesh that I want to work on this month.
Didn’t expect such hard tests so immediate, what can I say? Hashem loves me! ;)”
shopping613: wow, great attitude! thats the true way to look at life!
i find that when im mekabel on myself to do X, almost right away a nisonoy in that area comes. i think i heard this yesod bshem somebodygr8, thought i forgot who.
“showjoe is right, but also wrong.”
on what part?
looking4sem: im a boy in hs.
NO i do not mean that other boys are off the d c”v. i mean while some boys enjoy hs on a day to day basis (me included B”H), others do not enjoy hs on a day to day basis. but that does not mean that they are off the d, it just means that they might have similar thoughts to Shopping613.
“high school is great. maybe for a boy it’s different.
i happen to agree, i love hs.
but other boys aren’t as happpy in hs.
i dont thing it has to do with boys/girls, rather on the persons experience in hs. (though the first two parts dont apply to boys, there are other problems that boys have.)
why is today Shudder day?
1) and B).
also, i like hearing everyone’s opinion on different issues. it opens up my mind to viewpoints other than my own.
“Arabs and the Yetzer Hora’ah “
no, they each have their own tachlis.
this thred reminds me of the medresh(?) of david hamelech, the mosquito and the shoteh. i think that evreything Hashem makes in this world has a reason.
in this weeks parsha, yitzchok tells avimelech,: “why have you come to me? you hate me, and drove me away from you!” i am not sure if this is a valid comparison, but avimelech was definitely at one point yitzchoks king.
but i think that my theory still stands
“Showjoe answers yes to the original question, to which I say: Says which posek? I wouldn’t just assume this.”
my previous post was badly worded and did not reflect my intentions. when i saw my post tonight, even before i saw your post, i cringed, realizing that my words meant something other then my intentions.
i did not mean to pasken the shaila, rather i meant to give my viewpoint and to say that this would lechora be the answer.
the last sentence of my last post should have said “so therefore the L”H would be non-anonymous type and according to this theory be assur.”
“And controversy sells and they supply plenty of it.”
agreed, i feel that ami goes for the more controversial approach to any issue than the mispacha.
catch yourself: “Nevertheless, as a head of state, he was to be addressed with respect.”
an absolute king is different than a president.
also, from the way i see it, to disrespect a king back in ????s day was a much bigger disrespect and severe than it is now. it could even be looked at as treson and rebellion. now, insulting an offical is a common event, and dosnt really insult the official.
as for your racist point, i completely agree. i do not think the color of ones skin matters when pertaining to such important matters such as running the country.
and the L”H said here would also defame the persons “name” here in the cr. so even the people who dont know who the user is in real life, still know the “cr person”. so therefore the L”H would be non-anonymous type and be assur.
im a teen, and i read “grown up” (for lack of a better word) magazines and books, and i enjoy them more than YA books and magazines (though all jewish teen magazines are for girls, and i am a boy, so i dont really read teen magazines)
and were not scared of Dr. PBA either, if oomis is correct
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/my-baby-will-be-a-gadol#post-545599
SDD: no of course not,hes our favorite docter!
and were not scared of “dr.” scares driver delight either;)
4)all the mods have an unique style of posting that us mortals do not have. by saying he wasnt even “close” to being a mod, the mod was saying that this fake mods style was so far removed from the style of the mods when posting. but had he imitated this “mod style” of posting, he would have been “close” to being a mod.
lg and lior: maskim to both of you
im a big cah fan myself,
when i was younger, i read and reread all of them
