1. New Roc City (or any similar arcade).
2. Go out with your friends for pizza.
3. Ice Skating at Rockefeller (or anywhere else with an ice skating rink).
4. Go to a Basketball or Hockey Game (doesn’t have to be major league, i have had plenty of fun at minor league games, and they are the cheaper ones, also can go to a college basket ball game).
Spectacles… Most people wear glasses instead…
I know that if I say haMapil and bedtime shema that I won’t actually stay silent and will end up going to the bathroom/ eating nosh/ using my computer/ texting, so I don’t really do much Jewish bed time rituals…
Smile E. Face: You do, but they were really flexible about coming down town, my mom is a single parent and some weeks if she was really busy, she didn’t have to go downtown for work. The reason they let you work out of the house so many times a week is because it is a budget cut for the company… to be honest with you though, most places that pay a decent amount of money require you to show up to their work place. My mom had to get a new job through a different company, and she has to commute downtown (from a northern suburb- not skokie) and she is only allowed to work out of the house once a week because they prefer you to show up every day and she had to negotiate it into her contract…
Accenture definitely pays better than teaching in the Jewish Day schools…
By the way, my mom didn’t like commuting to work when she had to, but it was a really good job for her to have as a single parent with two children because it allowed my brother and I to learn (I was in high school and he was in sixth grade when she took the job) how to become better cooks and house cleaners so that we could become more independent, while still having our mom at home when we needed her.
I feel that they are both.
For example: giving Tzedakah is an obligation, but also we get schar for olam haba when we give maser money. I donated seven dollars towards someone’s fundraising campaign who is running for Yachad because that is all I could afford to give and I felt bad for her because she hasn’t even raised half the funds necessary to run in the marathon. I felt really good about myself after donating to her fundraising campaign, as someone who doesn’t always have a ton of money, I prefer to donate larger amounts of money like that to people who I know are running marathons, or raising money for a cause than to people who are collecting money in the street.
Another Example: Respecting our parents is an obligation. For most of us, when we were kids, although we know that our parents love us unconditionally, our relationships would be much better with them when we respected and honored them than if we didn’t.
retirement…
accenture is a global business company that allows you to work out of your house a few times a week (when my mom worked there, she worked at home four days a week) and they require you to go to downtown chi town the fifth day. Pays well compared to most out of house jobs.
Unfortunately…
I got mine when I was in Israel two summers ago. I have a pasuk on it. I only wore it twice since I got it. I don’t even remember the pasuk on it. My advice to you is to pick something you will be able to translate and remember.
Well, guess what?!?!?!?!?! Americans were even dumb enough to vote for him again! At least he decided to only have two inaugural balls this time around instead of the ten that he had the first time.
Morah Rach, you sound like my english teacher from last year… what do you think of beowulf?
Data entry. Go to elance.com I have gotten two jobs from there.
I have one and I know a number of girls who wear theirs all the time in the bathroom with no problem (I love how lately coffee room has been talking about teenage girl- visiting E”Y status symbols!) There are so many girls that wear them that I am pretty sure rabbis would say something if your could not wear them in the bathroom. Plus, they never spell out the actual letters of HaKodosh Baruch Hu’s name.
why would there be any halachos about them? There is nothing wrong with them. Also, if you cover your collarbone (and based on this post, you are worried about them touching your skin), then there should not be a problem with that.
ok…
I am in a very unique seminary program, so I am being exposed to a variety of different teaching methods. But also, you could have different types of Halacha, such as medical halacha, computer arts classes, where you teach the girls how to use photoshop, which can be vital in order to get a parnossa as a graphic designer…
There is no reason to be that picky at all…
Halachically, one is not supposed to cut the corners of his beard. This is why some men who shave have a heter to do so with an electric razor that pulls the hairs out instead of cutting them like a razor typically does. Its not just a chassidish thing, it is also a litvish thing as well.
Also sunflower seeds are really good. Ice cream should be good as well.
I do not have celiac, but I really enjoy eating tofu on the rare occasion that I can get my hands on some.
I think that most sweatshirts girl wear are somewhat status symbols showing that they have been in a specific program. I personally think that some sweatshirts are not good to wear outdoors after a certain age, but zip up hoodies should not be a problem. Not everyone can afford a north face, and sweatshirts are a cheaper alternative to them (I personally have two north face fleece jackets and a winter jacket because I knew when I got them that I would wear them for several years, its already my fifth winter wearing the winter jacket, same with my gloves, people tell me I should replace them, but I don’t have the ability to at this time, and they are still very warm). When I was still growing, height wise, my mother would never spend so much money on alternatives to sweatshirts, regardless of status symbols and stuff like that. Even then, I most of the time don’t wear my fleece north face jackets because I like my zip up hoodies and sweatshirts better.
I understand that there are different opinions, however I don’t think there is a point of debating the legitimacy of Zionism here on this website…
that would be good for a kashrus class and hilchos shabbos class.
Its kinda like how more secular Jews wear coca- cola apparel in Hebrew as their status symbol.
In that case, it is wrong of them (the Yeshivas and Bais Yaakovs) to accept public funding.
