Klach- no, you don’t have the responsibility to follow Minhagim if your family/Rav doesn’t follow it. But you have a big responsibility to respect the Minhagim of other, and not ridicule and knock them, like some posters here tend to do.
Klach- there’s another saying that “minhag yisroel, TORAH”. I’d rather take the safe side, since my family doesn’t eat Gebrochts.
The point is only, that when someone holds from a Minhag that you don’t, just respect it. Respecting it doesn’t mean following it.
Yenta- you have a very good point there. But I think a boy/girl starts feeling “old”, when all their friends are already married and they’re still single.
Gotta visit every single place first, then I can let ya know!
think the debate stems from the verse in Leviticus 22:14 which states “Thou shalt not eat gebrochts on Passover”
That, in my opinion, is poking fun of the root of a Minhag. Pardon me if you wrote it in extreme innocence.
Also, your story about Gedolim and Matzah ball in their window….
Our Gedolim know to respect Minhagim that OTHER GEDOLIM set, even though they don’t follow that specific minhag.
To the OP- while stealing from a company in this manner is terribly wrong, your company is causing part of the problem by offering free shoes just like that. You MUST ask for the customer to mail back their old shoe to you. Otherwise, you’re begging for trouble. You’re basically doing it to yourselves.
Bomb and Patur avul Assur- you two have obviosuly no respect for our Minhagim and our Gedolim. Shame on you.
Wolf- stop listening to every dumb person’s Shtussim. Why are you even bothered by him, when it’s obvious that he’s got problems himself? No decent person knocks others like that. Please!
AYC- first of all welcome to you and to Bubby.
We don’t always make a big deal of new members bec every day new names pop up and we have no idea if they’re just the 50th screen name belonging to same person! Even though you said you’re new, not everyone believes it!
So if you’re new, welcome aboard! Glad to have you here!
Eclipse, you can try! I only know of one that kept up with you. (She was divorced at some point?)
Sure! As discussed before, you were my teacher in 2004! Gotta have respect for you!
Mazel tov! Great news BH!
Aries- just as a btw, we had poster Ha Ha Ha engaged lately too!
ICOT- thank you very much. I remembered this discussion going on once but I had no idea where it was. I would like to try this recipe, looks great.
I’m looking for a potato kugel with pieces of beef inside. I hear it’s delic. Anyone has an exact recipe?
Goq- your words were completely against the Torah. I would like to know which mod approved your terrible comment.
You said you understand the pain of infertility. Imagine a mother of an only child, who is trying desperately, and failing to have another, reading your painful comment.
(No, this is not to imply that 14 kids should be the typical family.)
Um, Poppa- you turned an old,deleted thread into an updated one? Hhhmm….
Just buy potato starch Free gefilte.
Goq, of course men in these situations have it very hard too. I have a neighbor who was childless and the wife was always so upbeat while the man was always walking around with a gloomy face. I guess it’s just that usually the men COVER UP better(doesn’t mean their problem doesn’t exist), and women give it out more.
My heart always goes out to childless couples as a whole, and chas vsholom not only for the wife. (Especially that he has to put up with his wife in a bad mood all the time!)
The Goq- these suggestions are for the couple as a whole. We just keep saying “she” because woman are more social and can therefore have more challenges with people saying wrong things, and because generally, women are more sensitive.
In any case, “she” means “they”!
There’s nothing to say, and you shouldn’t say. Just act normal. That’s what she wants.
DON’T make her a Nebach. She’s not a Nebach. She’s just going through a very hard Nisayon.
Don’t ALWAYS talk about your kids, but don’t keep that subject taboo either. Kids exist in this world and that woman knows it. If you try to make believe that children don’t exist, then YOU ARE HURTING HER. She will realize.
It’s ok to tell her when you’re pregnant, and no, don’t leave it for your 7th month. Tell her early enough.
Don’t tell her what an “easy” and calm life she has without kids, or how much free time she has, or how hectic your life is with kids.
And of course, always be there with a listening ear and just listen and listen and cry along with her.
Yeah, I was wondering the same about mickey mouse. Are you trying to set up Oorah’s Disneyland??
A pushita yid- your CRAZY!!! I’m so disgusted!! And I was planning to have pizza for supper tomorrow!
Good, Eclipse- I’m so happy to hear that you have one problem solved! I think you will feel a bit better now.
Yup, he made me do it, and he came along with me to the jewelry store! (I also sold some of my old stuff!)
Hi everyone! I sold my hub’s gold Chosson watch today! I got almost a thousand bucks for it! (He never uses it.) Talk about buying gifts for nothing!
Is there another screen name name here apushiteyid? Cuz I remember this name saying things here about his wife, kids.
Eclipse- you definitely should tell them. There’s nothing wrong with that and they don’t have to want!! In your house you’re the only mommy- PERIOD!
Eclipse! I feel so bad for you!! Can’t you ask your kids to call her differently in your presence? Or not to mention her at all?
Or they should start referring to you as “ol’ granny….” 😉
OMG- Deiyez- you’re married over a decade? I thought your 19.
Thanks Shticky for this thread. I don’t use it often, but I just did and it was great and convenient!
I still can’t figure out why the CR doesn’t come with a search box, but at least this is close!
Don’t criticize your wife. If she were perfect, she’d marry better ! 😉
I would saute a bunch of oinions and garlic(if you use garlic), and then add some water and cook the meat for a few hrs.
Anyone know how to make potato kugel with beef inside?
Health- isn’t there an Issur of SEEING Chometz? And that includes Chometz crumbs.
Funny, we dont eat most of the foods mentioned here, and I didnt even know they’re extreme! Im so used to it I guess!!
I can’t imagine why people complain that there’s nothing to eat Pesach, if you do eat all of these!
About stuff falling on the floor-what do you do? We discard of any food that fell, and any cutlery that fell will not be used on Pesach anymore.
Napkin ring? Nice tablecloth? Nice matzah box for the center of the table? New dishes? Cutlery?
The ideas are endless. Maybe be more specific with what you want.
Eclipse- its the best time to go out to eat cuz restaurant are empty!!!
Say the entire Tehillim for yourself. Is that a crazy idea?
Or go to a spa and get yourself a nice massage, mani, pedi!
Yolk- that’s a very general statement to give here. There might be some good companies, yet others may be Chometz. Everyone has to check whatever brand they own.
Bored in office- there’s a separate Issur to have Chometz in your home, even if you don’t eat it. Otherwise we wouldn’t go through all that work to clean. We would only refrain from eating bread for 8 days!
You should check all your toiletries, skin care, and cosmetics that they’re Chometz free.
Who cares? I love my diamond ring!! 😉
I don’t know, but I could tell you that my friend got a BIG infection in her eyes from sleeping with her lenses. Better safe than sorry.
I’m married a couple of years, but before my wedding I begged my Mom to take fake flowers instead of fresh. I didn’t see the point in spending the $$, when you can get such beautiful silk flowers today. I ended up having real, they were magnificent, but I couldve done without that!!
Another thing- one man band instead of more men band.
Also invitations- I think they’re a pure waste. I think for my own children IYH- I’ll send small little post cards in the mail. WHY do we need more than that?
I would NEVER pick up a holocaust book, let alone a movie to see those horrible images. I seriously don’t think I can handle it.
And yes, I know it’s not right, but I know very little about that dark era.
Eclipse- I don’t know the details, but from what you wrote, it does seem like ignoring the letter is the best way around it. Keep strong.
2 questions:
1. are these your relatives or your ex family’s?
2. Don’t you ever think that your ex or his family members/friends read your posts here?
There’s an Iphone app called “Kosher”, which came in very handy when I visited orlando. I ended up taking along all the food, but you might get some ideas there.
That is if you have an Iphone!
May no Jew ever have bigger problems than this….
Shapiro- lol! It does make life interesting and colorful!
Oy, Cshapiro, you really are obsessed with your nail colors, aren’tya?? 😉
Charge them. You’re taking time to work for them. Maybe charge a cheaper fee, but don’t become the lady everyone takes advantage of!
Take it from a wife whose hub did a lot of work for other, for free, until she got fed up….;) No more!
