Higherandhigher-amen. Thank you!
Sof davar, of course I daven to Him many times throughout the day.
But for some reason, I feel much closer to Hashem when thanking him. Maybe it’s because that’s when I appreciate all good he does to me.
There’s an embassy suites there too. I was confused but I got it all straight.
Enjoy your shabbos.
I thank him in my own few words quite a couple of times a day for various reasons!
HK- you booked embassy in piscataway or parsippany?
Rryr- you’re going TONIGHT and you don’t know what to do? Hhmm…
Not a good idea.
BP totty. You are talking from some little resentment in your heart because what you say isn’t true.
Yes, most chassidishe men don’t have college degrees and the likes, but they all learn the ins and outs of life. Not going to the movies, but yes simpler things like vacationing and treating their wives.
Only some very narrowminded men don’t know how to open their eyes A BIT.
Or maybe your home was Very ULTRA frum.
Mod LOL!
A beshow is a date without the car, without the food, and without going places.
If you haven’t gone through it, you won’t understand it anyway!!
Pashuta yid- I heard it a bit different:
Do you like spaghetti?
Do you have a brother? No.
If you would have a brother, would he like spaghetti?
BP Totty- you are so wrong…times are changing.
We(myself plus about 100 friends), had beshows, are VERY THRILLED, go on vacation, you bet, go for nights out with our husbands, eat out in restaurants, and do everything you do!!
Stop being so critical of Chassidim. Start meeting each one individually. We are all different.
Mod- you never fail to make me laugh!
I’m not grandma lee but you should know your initials! 🙂
Isn’t embassy suites very overpriced?
Editor-seems like wolf wants it for reading.
The ipad is amazing for reading! I love it!
I don’t own one but I did borrow one for a day to test the product. It’s a great thing.
Small screen, yet everything is so clear. Mamish a pocket computer.
LOOOOONNNNNGGGGG day!
Fast was ok baruch hashem, but the hard part was keeping the kids entertained for the day.
But Baruch Hashem we can’t complain!!
Be happy, you are so right. People are so intimidated by someone who is sick or has any other problem(disability, infertility.)
These people are normal!
Refuah shelaime Be Happy! I hope you get through this very soon.
Stay strong!!
APY- I don’t see the humor in your post.
The boy and girl have to be impressed with each others too. Don’t exaggerate please.
Yup Arc, that’s what I meant.
Radisson in NJ has an organized shabbaton every week I think, with food and minyanim.
Are you talking a bout google streetview or is this something else?
Good question.
Family, yeshiva/school
Whoever made a big deal when obama entered the oval office without a jacket…
There is some kind of respect when wearing a jacket and hat. It should be worn when talking to Hashem.
You gotta drink a lot all year round, especially in the summer.
Mosh- wow you have a very positive outlook on life. You must be a special person. Hashem should give you continued strength and health.
Torah- why?
There’s some kind of minhag or inyan to eat lukshen and cheese erev tisha bav. I’m wondering if anyone knows the source or the reason for it?
No ketzies cmon, I sleep in pjs too! But you get my point. Everything we do should be appropriate.
Kapusta- funny about your comparison with moshiach, because I always think to myself:
It there’d be a fire now and I would have to RUN for my life, would I be embarrassed with the way I look(or with what I’m doing at the moment)?
We had a fire in the building one night and I ran out without shoes and socks.I wasn’t too comfortable to say the least. Imagine looking worse than that. Imagine the embarrassment.
I think this thought should constantly be on everyones mind.
No one is attacking him. If the girls stand around congregated and shmoozing for 3 hours then that’s very wrong.
Yb613- how do you know it’s the same girls for 3 hrs?
Harder on whom?
Yeah huh? After so many arguments we can all use some rest!
Good shabbos.
WIY- the way I put it was rather in a humorous way. Of course, that’s not what the men do here.
But the etzem idea, of the men being home along for 2 mnths doesn’t bring good. It’s great for the kids. but its not my style.
Let everyone decide for themselves what to do with their life.
Besides tznius issues, the costs of a bungalow is skyrocketing.
I hope, HOPE that no one borrows money to afford this trend.
Mod, it’s a sick style where the ladies and kids go.
The men stay in the city free to do what they want, and go where they want.
They stay here and enjoy the scenes on the street with all untznius ladies.
Many gedolim are against going to the country.
The wolf- you’re losing all your self esteem in this CR.
You’re not THAT bad!!
One of the things I learned in life is that. Each person spends $ on things that are important to him.
Every person believes that other things are necessities.
Saf davar- sadly, it is all true. I’m shocked myself.
We obviously stayed away from that area. But I still couldn’t believe that OUR ladies will be in there without being fully clothed.
I was in a hotel lately with an outdoor pool. There well HEIMISHE ladies swim there with bathing suits. I was horrified.
The place was swarming with men but those few ladies had no problem swimming half naked….
Sometimes I feel like those ladies that trangress tznius rules have no sense in their heads…
How low have we fallen?
WIY- I totally agree with the first part of your post.
When the children see their father working 9 hours a day and coming home like a shmate, then they see him go back to bais hamedrash late at night, they get to respect torah. They see what real sacrafice for torah means.
when the father is in kollel all day(and that’s very beautiful IF he’s really learning there), then the kids know their father is learning, but they can’t prove it.
Note that I’m saying many men and not ALL.
The children see no sacrafice for Torah. It’s not so hard to be in kollel all day when the wife brings home a paycheck every week…
How were they way off the mark please?
Myfriend, with my following question I’m assuming you’re not married, please correct me if I’m wrong.
When your husband will start working because you will IYH have a family and will stay home(hopefully), how will you handle that? You will thinkyour husband is doing something very wrong…
No I didn’t miss your point.
The more torah is NOT the more torah home. Where do you take that from?
Many people in kollel have no idea how to transfer their torah to their home.
Many working men have beautiful homes that are so respecting of torah.
Myfriend- your wrote:
Yes, a woman’s place is at home. But also yes, the type of home you are supposed to have is a Torah home, a Torah-husband and Torah-father at its helm.
MY OH MY! You really think a Torah home is a home where the husband is in Kollel? You’ve got some things to learn in life!
A torah home is when a father makes sure Halachos are carried out to the fullest in the home, and he puts aside time for learning, and the kids are all brought up with the word of the torah. If the father is in kollel or working, is ZERO pertaining to a Torah home.
I also thought the way you’re thinking when I was a girl in dreamland!
That is rather a very immature way of thinking.
It’s time to sit back and wait until you start building a family and then you’ll let us all know!!!
Shaving a beard isn’t so simple but I don’t know the Halacha.
Sof davar-
someone posted that after a few years the wife gets burnt out and can’t tell her husband she doesn’t want that way of life. i know this is on another tangent but- Hello! A wife should be able and comfortable to communicate with her husband her true and honest feelings!!!
THAT is exactly the problem. It’s not that the woman have no communication. They just feel bad stopping their husbands from learning. They feel that if they complain, then they’ll send their hub out of kollel. Instead they complain to the whole rest of the world.
Girls today need to be taught that a woman’s place is her HOME and her KIDS. They need to stop preaching about kollel.
Very nice for those who learn. But the woman IS NOT IN CHARGE OF PARNASSAH.
You cannot work on the expense of your kids. I’ve been through it. And I regret every minute that I wash a washed out/nervous mother because I have zero koach after coming home from work.
Missme- are you talking from the experienced side? Because you’re not being VERY realistic, and it seems like you’re talking before you tried it.
I didn’t find powerade to help ME.
What I did try last year, and I had 3 wk old baby and I thought ill faint after the first hour of fasting is “kalei tzom”.
I COULDNT BELIEVE how well I fasted! Baruch hashem!
Please go out now and buy it.
I can’t wait to try it again this time.
Walking for excercise is viewed wrong by some, because when you walk quick, your whole body is shaking and moving and every part of you just shows.
SmS- nope! This one was for a wedding! But mybe that bar mitzvah was at the same time so it opened for both of us!
Sms- funny- we had such a story at a family wedding. A new airline opened then, with cheap prices. All of us went. it was so much fun bec it was like a family plane!!
After that, this airline vanished and we never heard about it again!
It opened for us!!
