Silence is Golden… Can we shut the CR for a day?
My CR never makes a sound
I play the flute, where there aren’t any chords
Dont tell me… you even play the flute by ‘air’…!!!! ☺
Fact 1: The knee is an ervah.
Fact 2: An ervah must always be covered at all times.
Fact 3: The lengths quoted like 4cm are advisory lengths for insuring Fact 2 (that the knee remains covered in all positions at all times).
Fact 4: Unfortunately, too many knees ARE exposed in the sitting position, sometimes with the wearer constantly tugging in vain at the bottom of the skirt as if it were made of a stretchy material in a hopeless struggle to keep the knee covered when men are near.
Fact 5: Just as women cannot understand a man’s yetzer hora, a man does not understand the yetzer hora of a woman so we cannot criticize but must nevertheless make sure that halacha is always upheld, especially in our own homes where the man must bear ultimate responsibility.
About 2000 years. Do I miss it? Sure I pray to be able to return there every day.

If You find Free Jewish Sheet Music Post It Here
If you find anything at all that is free you can post it here too! ☺ (Are we not the nation of Kamtzan and Bar Kamtzan?)
Those are mezonos because the fit the pas kisnin category of being crunchy
So you are saying that although a small piece of bread less than a kzayis needs a hamotzi as i mentioned above brought down in SA, but if you toast it it becomes mezonos? I dont think so.
(heard from a rav who heard it from his mouth)
Heard what from his mouth? The crunch? ☺
I once saw someone trying to eat lamb chops with a knife and fork. It was absolutely hilarious!!!
TCG lol. Arent there chasidisher reasons not to ‘shtech’ meat with a knife or fork?
…baked goods where the primary solid ingredient is flour from one of the 5 species of grain should be hamotzi on matter what amount eaten…
… whatever bread you are referring to, is probably Hamotzi according to Ashkenazim, even if you eat one crumb at 3 AM…
If so, please explain why melba toast or soup/salad croutons made of very small pieces of actual bread are mezonos?
I know that eating less than a kzayis of bread does not need a brocha of al netilas yadayim when washing nor birchas hamazon after it. But it is still hamotzi, whereas melba toast or bread croutons are mezonos. Why?
Did you read the thread name or the OP? (actually the OP said its stainless steal 🙂 )
Whether it is whisky or whiskey has been the basis of many arguments over many years. The Scots spell it whisky and the Irish spell it whiskey, with an extra ‘e’. This difference in the spelling comes from the translations of the word from the Scottish and Irish Gaelic forms.
Whiskey with the extra ‘e’ is also used when referring to American whiskies. This ‘e’ was taken to the United States by the Irish immigrants in the 1700s and has been used ever since. Scotland, Ireland and America all have a rich heritage in the whisky industry.
It is the distillation process that one of the main differences occurs. Generally, Scottish and American whiskies are distilled twice and Irish whiskey is distilled three times (there are exceptions to the rule, in all cases). Distilling three times produces a lighter and smoother spirit.
For a whiskey to qualify as bourbon, the law–by international agreement–stipulates that it must be made in the USA. It must be made from at least 51% and no more than 79% Indian corn, and aged for at least two years. (Most bourbon is aged for four years or more.) The barrels for aging can be made of any kind of new oak, charred on the inside. Nowadays all distillers use American White Oak, because it is porous enough to help the bourbon age well, but not so porous that it will allow barrels to leak. It must be distilled at no more than 160 proof (80% alcohol by volume). Nothing can be added at bottling to enhance flavor or sweetness or alter color.
The other grains used to make bourbon, though not stipulated by law, are malted barley and either rye or wheat. Some Kentucky bourbon makers claim that the same limestone spring water that makes thoroughbred horses’ bones strong gives bourbon whiskey its distinctive flavor.
The same thing is when I come home from shul on friday after kabalas shabbos and meet other people still on their way to shul or even on their phones or driving etc, a long time before they will be mekabel shabbos. I just nod at them to acknowledge. I cant wish them a good shabbos. Or can I?
One must look respectable at all times. There is definitely an inyan brought in kaballah (dont know source) of not allowing an image of ones self as it ‘peels away from one’s neshama’. This refers to any picture, photograph etc generally, and also not to see yourself with tefillin on even by reflection (window, mirror etc).
With whats going on around us nowadays, it is really important for both spouses to look attractive to each other, not only the wives but the husbands too.
There is something we learn from each animal otherwise Hashem would not have created it. Ask Dovid Hamelech all about it… Spiders, wasps, madmen etc.
If you are talking about a secular report then as Wolf wrote study the food chain that begins and takes part mostly under the ground from moisture and insects to the largest of all creatures is your answer. There’s plenty online on this both in video and text formats that are absolutely fascinating! Niflaos haboreh at its most revealing.

Hi thanks for stopping by! Call by again
You can call your daughter bas/bat sheva wherever she comes in the family, though i’d much rather my daughter to be called bas talmid chacham…
This is post #1000 from what I can see
So I share this milestone with everybody
But I think this thread it needs a new name
This will change it a lot, which is a great shame
For though on this thread the poetry is the best
But it has been of late just of people depressed
So please can we change it to one full of cheer
Which is the main reason why people come here
Is is easier to express one’s feelings in verse
But reading your stories made me very terse
So please post some poetry that is complete
With amusing anecdotes and something upbeat
For otherwise this thread it should be called
‘Att DEPRESSED People’ so lets get it overhauled
With poems of simcha or of the world situation
And not just somewhere to vent your frustration
No one was there or anywhere else at 2.30 AM
I was! My watch is 2 minutes slow!! Can I have the money please.
I think I’m going to become a moron
Going to become? You have already been crowned as one. In fact we gave you the honorary title of moron hagaon harav admor mi-popa shlita.
And its good you have wifi otherwise our posts would take forever to be approved…
BH that was really amazing. I repeated it and got a great response. Is it your own or where did you see it?
Or between demonstrations on a weekday and demonstrations on a shabbos! In fact when they are on it, the word should be split: demon-strations.
They are without a doubt of the 80% not the 20%. My only doubt is had they been in shushan which side would they have been on?
I am very stingy by nature
Nonsense! Look at how many new threads you have shared with us since you suddenely appeared recently…
Lets see.
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/profile/hershi
does not bring anything up. Hmmmm! So he’s not sharing his profile with us. Maybe he is stingy. Hershi…
Become a successful doctor. Thats the best way to have a lot of patients
Record 15 minutes… Rewind it
Cute. How nostalgic.
I call it 13th avenue because its bad luck. I lose too much money there!
After eating their snack on taanis esther, my wife told her class to find the extra piece that we add in for taanis esther in al hamichya before they begin benching. Nebbich they were searching for ages before realizing that there’s probably nothing added in to benching on a fast day! They found it soooo funny.
Those who begin early are asking for trouble. So many shaalos come each year when people try to cook both chometz and pesachdig at the same time. Best is to change over completely before doing major pesach cooking. We BH have a pesach kitchen but even so my wife only begins cooking a day or two before pesach – she likes fresh food!
Pesach cleaning: RULE #1. If you have been blessed with young children, believe me there is no such thing as ‘oh there probably is no chametz in there’. Forget it. Chametz is found on a constant basis in the most unimaginable of places. RULE #2 Crumbs are not chametz. Dont give yourself unnecessary work if it means missing out in the end by not managing things that are necessary or that make a difference.
The story of Purim Part 1.
Achashverosh the King of Shushan
was descended from the Persian clan
he made a great feast
at which he released
a most hideous and outrageous plan.
That vashti his beautiful queen
must come and let herself be seen
wearing not a royal gown
but a sparkling crown
but vashti said no, thats obscene.
The king stamped his foot with a bang
and did his wife vashti harangue
haman said across the land
wives will ignore their hubby’s command
so I think vashti deserves to hang.
After time the king did reminisce
and vashti his queen he did miss
so he called his wise men
said he would marry again
‘go find the best beauty’ he did hiss.
I dont care if you must harass her
make sure that you find her, dont pass her
right across my empire
bring me all you admire
one of them went and spotted Hadassa.
She was seized and shlepped off to the palace
by soldiers who were filled with malice
she tried to resist
but her cries were dismissed
by cruel troopers who were really callous.
Other girls captured also did preen
and smear with oil for a sheen
Esther kept herself plain
“from these things I abstain”
achashverosh still chose her as queen.
Mordechai heard bigson and seresh
plotting to harm the king’s flesh
but cause mordechai knew every tongue
they were found out and hung
when in their plot they did enmesh.
Then achashverosh did a silly thing
he took from his finger his ring
and gave it to haman
who to kavod would run
this made him into second to the king.
Now haman was a real bad guy
who held of himself very high
to him all had to bow
or get killed here and now
so all did it except mordechai.
This filled haman with a rage
How dare he, that rude Jewish sage
his anger was frothing
all his power meant nothing
I will kill him and turn a fresh page.
PLEASE CONTINUE…
SaysMe: Here is a purim poem/song I made to cheer you up a little, put you in the purim mood and give you a happy, smile filled purim.
To the tune of ‘Shavuos is coming nearer and nearer’:
Purim is coming nearer and nearer,
Its a holy and a party day – thats no steera,
Hashem gave us a present on this great day,
It is Tefilla – dont throw it away.
Around the neighborhood dancing the hora,
There’s bochurim and boys who instead of learning torah,
Are celebrating in a torah way,
their dancing skills they sure like to display.
The sounds of the spielers come nearer and nearer,
their songs are becoming ever clearer,
they come in collecting for all worthy causes,
without any breaks or even pauses,
around our table asking for donations,
while singing cute graaman and various compilations,
oh how we love the purim atmosphere,
especially with a whisky, wine or beer!
HAPPY PURIM EVERYONE! 😉
Not wrong one at all. Depends on how intoxicated your spielers get..
What a great story of two selfless individuals. So happy for both of you. Hope you live happily ever after. Thanks for sharing it on Yeshiva World News aka Friends Reunited
Even if water is not considered a food you can still send it along with two other foods without changing your original idea too much. Instead of the water and a food, keep them both and add one more food item.
The source for davening at chatzos (any day) is no less than a ???? in ?”?) ???? ????) . This special ?? ???? lasts for 2 hours. So although the entire Purim is a ?? ???? , this is the highest point of any day. And just because you said tehillim last year does not mean you have not yet been answered. It means only that you have not yet seen or been shown the answer! May you be ???? to see it ?????!
There is no such thing as a ????? in vain!
skiaddict you’re right. Nk its not amusing. Its actually sick and abhorent. Why are you defending people who shake hands with and support the biggest sonei yisrael and holocaust deniers of our generation? Please justify yourself.
what foods give you energy
This time of year? Whisky for sure! Keeps me up and dancing the whole Purim!
I have never seen a peanut climb one step, let alone 50 flights
Funny. Well actually it was a special case. Apparently there were shells falling all around the peanuts making them flee in haste.
TBBA: It took me a while to chap where you were heading with this one but eventually the penny dropped. Now when I reread your post its very funny and well thought out. Kol hakavod.
Yes the nutty karta members should receive the same treatment as homon’s sons for sure!
BTW If anybody needs a minyan for megilla, dont chas vshalom go to a nutty karta minyan whatever you do for 2 reasons; Firstly you wont have a minyan of kosher shomer shabbos jews there as they are: A. All chayav meesa so have din like treifos, B. They are REALLY not shomer shabbos cause they attend demonstrations on shabbos, and C. They are NK which stands for Not Kosher. Secondly they take 4 hours over megilla like satmar cause they also bang every time the baal koreh says the word ‘medina’ 😉
Welcome back haifagirl
I heard once possibly from reb yisroel salanter that the mitzva is to drink and be happy the entire purim but once you are drunk just like a shikkur is patur from all mitzvos you are patur from ad dilo yada also. Does anyone know who says this and where or have the mikor for this?
In English purim means “lots”
My son says this is why on Purim people have “lots” to drink ☺

if a muslim comes at borchu and leaves before chazoras hashas, does it only take 2 minutes?
Funny! But I think this only happens at the dolt minyan! Incidently, isnt chazoras hashas when you go over daf yomi?
muslims prey more
Lol. But unfortunately true!
Just Smile where are you? You usually appear this time of year…
Our wives are going to be so scared and run away to their sisters house assuming our brother’s in law won’t beat them! They’ll be right because our brother’s in law will be getting drunk with us!
Hello! Do you know me???
popa very smart LOL. The difference would be whether the person realizes why you did not offer.
The OPs case is the same as offering a match to a smoker; is it better you that do or should you pretend you do not have. Which is really to their benefit?
