I’ll compete in the Challa baking.
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/challa-baking-help
Who’s joining me? I’m telling you all now that I’m going for the gold…
….like a glowstick. Sometimes you have to break before you can shine.
Gamanit – Thanks! That actually does make sense. Now the question is if non-chassidim have the same pure intentions in mind when holding hands after the chuppah…
JF02 – It’s hard to understand cuz all I’m doing is just rationalizing things I shouldn’t be doing so I could do it…but I’ll try to explain a bit. My understanding of why music is so powerful is because it is more than just something you’re listening to. It’s a lot deeper than that. The thoughts a singer entertains while singing his/her songs are absorbed in the music and thereby filters down to you, the listener, both for good and for bad. If one singer is a lot more moral than a different singer, the same song that they both sing could have a different impact on the listener.
Sorry didn’t update in a while but as of last week Shulamis bas Sara has woken up, been taken off the respirator, and has been transferred out of the ICU B”H. Please continue to daven for a complete recovery.
I am unaware of what is going on with Sora Tziporah bas Miriam Rivka.
Please also daven for Brocha Chana bas Tzipora, a 12 year old girl my younger sister knows very well, who was hit by a car.
I believe it’s the same reason why good people have bad things happen to them; to wake them up and give them a chance to change. So when they’re down there they won’t have any taanos on why they are there.
TAOM – Please stop putting yourself down like that! Don’t dwell on how you could have been a better person, rather look forward to becoming the person you know you can be. Try changing your mindset just a little. As they say, hindsight vision is 20/20 – you can see exactly how you could have acted differently and then you dwell on it so much you can’t move forward…I know the feeling, been there too many times.
If you feel you didn’t get closer to Hashem at all since Chanuka, be thankful that at least you’re not further away from Him (I’m assuming that because of why you said you weren’t here in 2 weeks) and work on getting closer NOW! Try taking on a small kabbala that is meaningful to you, that will make you feel connected. Even something so small can make the difference. Personally, there is one non-jewish song that I really love. Being that I stopped listening to that type of music approximately 2 years ago, I was able to get around it by getting my friend to professionally record it for me so I could listen to it. (My belief is that a non-jewish song sung by a Jewish singer is not as bad as the original because of the improper thoughts that are absent when a Jewish singer sings that same song…) Anyways, I recently felt inspired enough to take the song off of my “favorites” playlist, which I have playing on repeat most of the day, and a few days later I was able to fully delete it from my phone. Some might say, oh please, that’s just one song…what about all the others you still listen to? My look at it is that there is now one less song that I listen to and that is a step in the right direction no matter how small it is.
TAOM – Listen, I really don’t know you, but look at how far you have come since last year. So if the last 2 months weren’t the greatest, make the next to the best that it could be! You know you have it in you!
Probably the same source as where the mitzva tantz comes from…
Seriously? Is there a source for that anywhere? That’s probably the most interesting thing I’ve ever heard about Chassidim.
Being affectionate in public is wrong. This obviously includes public handholding.
What about on your wedding night? I’ve noticed plenty of newlyweds holding hands and no one gives a hoot. Why is it any different?
“Best friends are hard to find cuz the very best one is mine.”
Little Froggie: You should really thank HaShem for that, in a special way.
Exactly what I’m doing over here:

Well, glad you clicked now 🙂
And still in NotePad? Sheesh, its the 21st century y’know…
Shulmis bas Sara is still in serious condition. There hasn’t really been much response from her at all. Both had their facial bones crushed really bad, so recovery in this area will take a while. The girl’s family that I know has requested privacy so I don’t really have anything substantial to add. There was an asifa in Lakewood last night for the two of them. Keep davening!!!! And if I hear any good news I’ll definitely let you all know.
I am definetly going to play this song to the girls in pain that I am working with.
TAOM – Glad to see you’re on the giving end here 😉
LF – Ask the mods! They know!!!!
UPDATE: B”H they are both out of sakana now, and bechasdei Hashem there are no signs brain damage. However, there are many broken bones and they are being sedated for the pain.
Please continue to be mispallel! I know one of these girls personally!!!
WIY – Pretty much. I’m one of those who can spew out random facts and complete a NY Times crossword puzzle but won’t recognize someone I spent my summer with two years ago…
you should make a song either about shidduchim or seminaries.
Or put them together in one, now THAT will be funny.
Nice thread idea WIY
WIY – Absolutely nothing. If I did think there was something wrong my username would look a lot different. I just feel that I usually don’t let my geeky side show through a lot over here while in real life I get called geek so many times a day it’s quite humorous.
Please please continue davening for these 2 girls! They are in desperate need of tefillos.
OMG I sound like such a geek.
Sam2 – That is so interesting. I’ve read up on this a bit and it seems that over time the meaning of nauseous changed due to people’s misuse of it. Now this is evolution in progress. Cool!
Home is where the heart is. It’s as simple as that!
Let him/her learn it the hard way.
I can finally post on this thread!
Cappuccino chip cookie brittle – fastest way to get something out on the table in 30 minutes flat. And that’s including the 25 minutes it takes in the oven. I would post the recipe from memory but I don’t want to be held accountable if I left out something…
And of course, my challa fiasco last night 🙂
Anyone going this year?
If they’re going I’d assume they’d be there already and not posting here.
Tsk tsk…naughty naughty!!
So Shopping, what are you doing with all your free time now?
Syag – What you’re saying is true, but I was actually referring to a specific case that I know. This was seriously the intent. You’re not good enough for any of us.
Yup, they ask at bar/bas mitzva age. I believe it’s a whole ritual in beis din. I know someone who went through that too.
And forget about kicking out of schools, how about the kids who don’t even get in to school because the hanhala believes it’s pointless cuz anyways s/he will be kicked out in a few weeks??? Oh, so they’re giving off the message that the streets are a better place for people like you. Much better.
