Why ask here? Why not ask a rebetzin or teacher that you know, instead of depending on anonymous posters who may or may not know what they’re talking about?
I can see this burning question of the day (cut TP or tissues?) added to questions for families investigating shidduchim, right after “which brand of paper towels do they use – Bounty or Brawny?” and “do they stack plates at the table?”
Donuts in NY are not sufganiyot in the Holy Land. Don’t even try to compare them.
zahavasdad, why would there be a problem in Alaska and Hawaii? They’re not over the date line.
I hate to inform you, but most of Israel is Not Frum!
Frumkeit in E”Y is not a black and white thing. It’s not our job to label people.
And can you please stop ending every sentence with an exclamation point!
I daven at at minyan that takes ~33 minutes on non-laining days (starting at Rabi Yishmael). If it took longer, people would find a different minyan. Mincha is 15 minutes, arvit is 10 minutes. Shabbat morning at my minyan is 90 minutes and no drasha. The main minyan is 2 hours and 15 minutes, including ~8 minutes of announcements/drasha.
I visit the states on occasion, and it drives me up the wall to sit through a 2.5 – 3 hour Shabbat morning davening.
The photos should not be touched up. Period. Touching up the photos is lying.
I suspect that there are Chareidim who read Bamidbar and see black hats on the heads of the Jews under the cloud of Hashem.
I’ve mentioned in the CW before that a friend of mine has close family living in Kiryat Sefer. My friend’s nephews (from Kiryat Sefer) once brought home coloring pictures of the Maccabi’im fighting the Greeks. The Maccabi’im were shown wearing suits and black hats.
Thank you! 🙂
I somewhat agree with that, but IMHO letting them loose with no or little supervision is much worse!
Why would a parent let a kid or kids that young “loose with no or little supervision?” This is a parent problem, not a kid problem.
Can you get a sitter for one night a week, or once every two weeks? that certainly would make things easier. I actually find it fun and relaxing to go food shopping with my wife, and I think she feels the same way (for the most part). We go to a few stores, walk up and down the aisles, and shmooze and shop at the same time. There’s always a Cofix or Aroma nearby so we can get a snack, and then we go home.
A harness is for animals, and is demeaning to a human being, no matter what age.
It’s safer to have clothes hang out to dry in the sun, versus leave the dryer on chas veshalom.
May your dryer exhaust hose always be clear and may your home always be safe.
Now that we made aliyah, we barely use the dryer. Why waste the electricity when I can hang the stuff out and it dries within a few hours?
Luna Lovegood +1
As a teenager, we had a fire in our basement due to accumulated lint in the dryer exhaust hose. Not so fun.
Instead of looking for a Zionist seminary,I strongly reccomend finding one that teaches the Jewish religion.
Yet another answer that proves the point that one should not seek answers from anonymous posters on the internet.
I have a coworker who was particularly distraught over the election results and when another coworker asked me how i felt about it in front of her even though i voted for Trump i said lets not talk about this right now knowing she was so upset.
One thing I have learned over the years is never, never, never, talk about politics or religion at work. Never.
What kind of chocolate chip cookies?
Homemade!
We make our own ice cream sandwiches using my wife’s chocolate chip cookies and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream. Better than any ice cream sandwich you can find in any store.
I live in EY. No one has heard of halloween. Maybe you should move here.
I don’t know where you live, but your statement is incorrect. There are plenty of people here that have heard of Halloween. There are several bars in Tel Aviv that have Halloween parties.
you misnagdim will never understand this.
Maybe they just understand halacha better than you chasidim.
How about those that pack out of shul early before davening is over, aleinu and kaddish complete? What are their excuses?
How about those that come to minyan late and then leave early? I guess they can pack all their davening into 15 minutes.
A shoe store? Is this a trick question?
anyhow, it’s assur to go shopping on Chol Hamoed.
It’s assur to make general, blanket, statements that may or may not apply to people reading the CR.
Two of my daughters work in retail in Yerushalayim, and I guarantee you, they have plenty of business from all sorts of customers over chol hamoed, including chareidim. If shopping is assur, perhaps someone forgot to tell them.
Isn’t there work around the house to be done? Windows need washing? Carpets need to be vacuumed? Dishes washed, dried, and put away? Beds made? Furniture dusted? Is all the food prepared yet for Shabbat and chag? Potatoes and carrots peeled? Cabbage stuffed? Onions chopped?
Don’t let your kids think that life is a free ride – put them to work.
I paid ?100 for a mehadrin etrog and lulav. Extra aravot are ?5 a set. This was on our yishuv. (At least one of our shules here offer free aravot during chol hamoed for those who need.)
?? ??? ?????
I put up our sukkah walls before Y”K. The schach goes up on Friday, when I have time.
Sorry.
i love my rabbi:) his such an amazing person:)
That’s nice, but what does it have to do with the topic?
Why do it at all? Kapparot is not halacha.
frum regular davening takes 45 minutes
If you are talking about weekday shacharit, then it obviously depends on the shule and minyan, and if the minyan starts with brachot or at Rabi Yishmael, etc. The minyan I normally attend during the week takes about 32 or 33 minutes on non-laining days, and about 40 minutes on laining days. (nusach Sfard, starting at Rabi Yishmael)
probably the only ones who really ready themselves for the yom hadin and do teshuva, are the ones who have never sinned at all during the year.
Which is exactly no human being on this earth.
And not everyone has a cheilik in Olam Haba. There is a whole list of things that can cause someone to lose his cheilik.
But it’s not up to us to judge, nor do we know the true workings of HKB”H.
Why don’t you both compromise and live in the middle, somewhere like Yerushalayim?
Because it would be to hard to hold them through the entire Amidah.
They’re not putting anyone in danger. They are causing a possible delay in the response to a potential danger which is extremely infrequent.
I’ll bet that the people that are chas v’shalom trapped in that dangerous situation, no matter how infrequent, would not want any delay in the response. I know I wouldn’t.
takah, can’t you wait to check the score after you left shul? 😉
Believe it or not, I don’t follow any teams so closely that I need to know scores.
I find it terribly sad that people can’t control themselves for 45 minutes or so without looking at their phones. I see people all the time checking their phones during chazaras hashatz, as if they might lose their job or the world might end if the emails aren’t read immediately.
I find it sad that shules would put people in danger by jamming cell phone signals.
They’re legal and used in shuls in Eretz Yisroel.
Sadly.
What about Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky? Perhaps you would love listening to him as well.
I wonder why the OP didn’t clarify this before accepting the position. I would never accept a job if I didn’t know how I would be able to arrange my days off for the chagim.
Why do you need a siddur app on the phone when you have printed siddurim in the shul?
Because sometimes there are inconsiderate people that daven directly in front of the bookshelf where the siddurim are located.
its rude to use cell phones at shul.
Your opinion may or may not be true, but either way, it’s still illegal to use a jammer to block the signal.
TLC = Tender Loving Care
Now what happens, say, if someone misses an emergency phone call because the frequency was jammed? Is the shule then liable for damages?
And then there’s this, that I picked up off a website dedicated to electronic communications:
