ROTFLMKO!
I assume the cross dressing thing is because she was slated to be the Abba in a dress.
It’s not an IPO, it’s a secondary offering. You had the opportunity to buy and own shares of the company already for several years, and I don’t see how this event would change your opinion of the company’s value. Do you understand what will be different after the offering and conversion are completed? There is no “deal” to be had here, it’s just an ordinary chance to be an owner of a very small bank. And if you can’t do your own research, investing is not for you.
” Our tradition teaches that the oppressed, the poor, the hungry, the downtrodden will inherit the earth.”
Better get that geirus checked, buddy. That may be what Matthew told you but the passuk in tehillim lehavdil should not be read with christian colored glasses.
Inherit the land means meeting moshiach (Rashi in Sanhedrin 98)
The humble refers to tzaddikim, as is explicit in passuk 29. The other passukim (9, 11, 18, 22, etc) use adjectives for tzaddikim instead of the word itself. Nowhere in the torah do we degrade the rich or unoppressed for having advantages in life, nor do we find preferrential treatment for any characteristic other than righteousness.
rebdoniel you are missing the point. Here, the geirimsims were baked in the exact same oven as all the others so even you need to agree they need a proper hechsher. Your feelings for their plight nonwithstanding
I doubt even Avi Weiss would eat in a DD without a hechsher.
A dangerous half truth, rebdoniel. Please google “Franchising the Kosher Way” by R. Bendelstein, an article published on the OU website. If it seems long, you can skip right to the seventh paragraph.
This thread definitely wins the gold medal for people who need a life.
Yes popa, how awful of you to keep discussing halacha in a way that makes people interested.
No, it is in regard to ignorance that we are still the same. Yours is showing. Communism? How about not being allowed to own lands, or to work in certain industry, or to even enter certain parts of the city? If its all the same to you, I prefer to be grateful for these rights.
The first one you should know about is the best and most important one. It’s called the freedom to live off the product of your own work. This significant freedom is offered as a free program by our government, and is wildly better than what the governments of the shtetls offered.
Simply that no tragedy is ever too great to be used to push an agenda.

Out of 400 million people in the country, you are given the choice of… two? And what’s the choice, really, you don’t know either of these guys well enough to know what they’re thinking. The political system is set up just to give you proles the illusion of choice. It’s a very effective form of controlling you. Nothing is in it for you, so why do you get so worked up over it? The same thing is going to happen regardless of who you back- politics are just a game, a show, entertainment for plebes. It’s not a two party system, it’s a two class system- the ruling class, and you.
Sheesh
Paging Dr. Pepper…
Bubkis, every caregiver has to provide for the needs of their charges. Its not an additional role.
To those who think schools are not a baby sitting service, you are simply wrong. If children were not going to school, where would they be? At a babysitting service. The school is a surrogate babysitter, hence it is a babysitter. Just an extremely haughty and unreliable one.
Clearly no real actuaries have responded in this thread. The giveaway is that the phrases “actually” and “on the other hand” do not appear. In my significant experience dealing with and even managing actuaries, they are an overpaid relic of the insurance industry who become increasingly less important every year. The barrier to entry is too high for the need they fill and gives them an unjustifiably high sense of self importance.
Anyone with sense throws out their lulav after hallel on hosh rabba since the mitzva is over. Then, you have no lulav for hoshanos and no reason to walk around. No reason to complain.
“They don’t have a Bimah to circle. The were just walking in stupid circles.”
First off, they were probably simply copying what the men were doing because they assumed that was the correct way to do things. Watching and learning, without understanding, which is not all that different from what most men are doing. You went around, they went around. You went outside for part of the circuit, so did they. Probably sincere individuals whose only fault is ignorance. Just like most of their male counterparts on your side of the ‘tza.
Second, what a doorknob. Going around the bimah is a stupid circle too. We used to walk around the mizbeach, but now we do the best we can to remind ourselves of that. So who says that if they walk around a chumash on a table in their section thay they are any more stupid than you walking around a scroll on a bimah? A sincere argument can be made that the zecher is equal. Wrong maybe, but sincere.
Whenever Murphy’s Law can go wrong, it will.
If they did write an article claiming a cure for celiac, it would be the height if stupid journalism.
Alas, not even close.

I douht this ever happened. After all, the source of this story is worthless as an eid, so he probably also has no neemanus. Just like other pesulai eidus, such as women 😉
As Toi said. HaK-L hagadol v’hanorah
But the last line is blasphemy. So did you not get that far?
G-d is great!
G-d is terrible!
G-d is not getting greater.
G-d is not getting any more terrible.
Therefore, Israel is catching up to G-d.
i heard that the amshinover rebe sais that his “mimkoimcha” is from the beis hamikdash.
In Amshinov time, the beis hamikdosh probably hasn’t been destroyed yet. Hence he could say that about many contemporary songs.
The only question is how has the Amshinover already heard of this song?

Imagine that! Yes, NASA brought us velcro. Money well spent, well spent indeed. I refuse to wear velcro on my shoes though, I’ll stick to the laces thank you very much. Next time someone is passing around 50+ year grants worth trillions of dollars just send them to me and I’ll try to produce something as valuable as velcro out of it.
I think most of us are familiar with the story of the butcher who sponsored the formative torah learning of R’ Moshe and R’ Yaacov. I don’t think anyone would disagree that through that act he became deserving of tremendous kovod and more. Al achas kama v’kama this man who is responsible for mass learning such as we have seen since his philathropy was channeled to this cause. Not to mention any kovod he is due in his own right for his own ameilus batorah. I doubt we could show him enough kovod in this world.

Well, that’s one of the two thing most cr people are capable of. 1)Ignore. 2)Rants. Now say it together… See what I did?
Shlomo Hamelech had 1000 wives and not one of them was right for him. This is the way of the world, like it or leave.
In the 1800s buttons were very expensive and it would be considered showing off to have buttons on sleeves, where they are not needed. Even those who could afford it didnt flaunt this, shelo l’haashiro es boniv. The rabbonim of the shtetls wrote a joint letter to the mechaber asking him to add this to shulcha aruch, which he did in YD siman 404. But very good question.
BTW, now you know the source for “404 error”

popa- I cite Niemoller
“I don’t think they allowed audiences in to see the shaming of the Sotah. Who knows, maybe they did?”
What do you mean who knows? Anyone who has learned a little bit of gemara knows that the public is invited to watch the sotah in the azarah. It doesnt go by what you do or don’t think.

Dear Bar Abby,
What in the world was the point of being mattir internet use for business need, when we all know mitoch sh’hutra l’tzoirech, hutra nami sh’loi litzoirech? Do they think that just because we don’t get to sit on the dais we don’t know shas and poiskim?
Sincerely,
Logged Off Forever and Trying Not To Think
I haven’t.
Now I expect you will accuse me just to strip me of that dignity.
Yeah but now its my intellectual property and you can’t reproduce it. Or else I will stop making my posts available online and you’ll have to come to my house to buy them on post its.
Lt. Berenbaum was drafted and had no choice
I think they called him Mike.
will you two keep quiet i have to be up at 5am.
Is that 5am2 or 5am4321?
Popa, you’re just being argumentative and clearly haven’t seen her comments yet.
I am a nine but been told I am a ten. I have been set up because of my looks but I automatically reject the shidduch
There is nothing in that that you could agree with.
Wasn’t he a molester?
Calling popa! Please put this girl in her place. Don’t make me do it, it’s beneath me :p

apy, that’s OK, I’m used to being misunderstood
It’s working…..
You wish, Jaysberg
Sorry, I went straight to church to light after he posted and couldn’t comment until now.
good looking wife so that his children will be good looking.
How selfless of him. But I have a helpful suggestion- he doesn’t need to ask for a picture to achieve this goal. If the girl he marries turns out to be super ugly he can just ask adoption agencies for pictures of attractive kids. Nothing to lose by this, since he wouldn’t have married the ugly girl anyway its not like they would have had biological children and this way they are happily married, with beautiful kids, plus the beautiful orphaned kids have a home. Win, win, win.
I guess you were off a bit. As you can tell, I am at least 195 years old
He said he gives hashgocha for baby cows.
Just FYI, not until recently are they 2 specialties. Back when I started, we had to specialize in both.
