I use the Neatzit, which is a cotton undershirt with 4 corners.
I think all phones should be banned as well.
When beginning the Amidah, people should take their steps backwards and forwards, then stop moving their feet before starting the psukim “ki shaim” and “Hashem sfosai.”
The ArtScroll Women’s Siddur states that women should not make a mezuman . . .
Perhaps the ArtScroll Women’s Siddur is wrong? ArtScroll is not infallible, you know.
BTW, it’s called a mizumenet.
The very first Shabbat I spent in Israel, back in 1986 or so, I went to daven on Friday night at Karlin-Stolen in Meah Shearim. I obviously didn’t look Chassidish (I wore black pants and a white shirt), but five or six men came over and asked me if I’d like to come for a meal. I was touched and somewhat amazed.
Later that night we went to a few tishen, and I was not made to feel like an outsider in any way. As a matter of fact, at two of the tishen I was pushed forward so I could get closer to the action.
Sorry for your inconvenience and how you feel. But their only intentions are that they can’t hold loose chametz and get it all over their cars until they get to the Fire and also can’t hold tons of loose chametz versus 1 big bag of chometz
Please understand other people
Understand other people how? That these other people are willing to release carcinogens into the air because they insist on burning plastic? Better that they should throw the chametz into the fire and throw the plastic bags into a garbage can.
Finished around 2:20, and walked in the front door at home at 3. by far the longest (and coincidentally the most meaningful) seder we’ve been to since we made aliyah.
We grew up eating peanuts on Pesach, and my mom z”l cooked with peanut oil. Somehow, some way, peanuts magically became kitniyot. (My family still eats peanuts on Pesach, BTW.)
Like the queen said, most people who don’t eat kitniyos, don’t use canola oil on Pesach.
Not in Israel.
Pesach Time we see Wesson Cottonseed Oil in the Veg-oil section of the supermarket…yukkkk
So use canola oil.
When I was a kid, the library put a star on kids’ library cards, which restricted the kids to taking out books only from the children’s section. My parents gave permission to take the star off, since my reading level was far above that level.
I took out whatever books I wanted, mostly non-fiction, and I think I turned out OK. Did my mom check them? No, but she saw what I was reading – I didn’t hide anything.
You say shavua tov, and let him wonder about you for the rest of the evening.
Mazal tov to CTLAWYER!
No wonder so many OOTers make their home in Brooklyn!
I’m not sure why that is – there’s no mitzvah to live in Brooklyn. I’d think that people interested in keeping all the mitzvot would be living in E”Y.
mik5, you’ve got a lot to learn about life and derech eretz. Good luck.
P.S., I’m not arguing with the Torah – I’m arguing with you. Do you go up to women on the street and complain to them if they don’t meet your ideas of tznuah?
We got used to the Israeli grape juice, but Chetzi Chinam actually sells the big bottles of Kedem cheaper than the Israeli grape juice – so we switched back to Kedem.
mik5:
Next time, I will bli neder make a point of rebuking those who say it wrong (if I can muster up the courage to do so).
I hope you’re writing this as a late April Fools joke, and that you’re not serious. If you’re not the gabbai of the shule or yeshiva, then it’s not your place to rebuke ANYONE. What are you, a Harry?
I don’t get it – doesn’t the band provide a singer?
If she wants him to eat treif, should he?
There is an obvious and clear difference between eating treif (an issur dioraita) and getting drunk on Purim (which, at most, is a d’rabbanan).
Did you ever stop to think that the decision is between your friend, his wife, and the Rav? Did you ever stop to think that their decision is really none of your business?
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the closing of the school,
We have tortured every teacher.
We have broken every rule.
We are marching down the corridors to get the principal
Our troops go marching on.
You forgot the rest:
“Glory, glory, Hallaleu_a
Teacher hit me with a ruler
I shot her in the back
From a U.S. Army tank
And there ain’t no teacher anymore.”
Thank you, thank you. Performances Monday through Thursday nights, matinees on Sundays and Wednesdays.
Moshe Rabbeinu did not wear a bekeshe or a streimel, therefore I do not wear one either.
IIRC (this was 25+ years ago), I believe our second date was a movie, and our third date was a picnic on a bench at Coney Island.
Why not move to E”Y? There’s a mitzvah to live here, and it’s better for your soul than Canada can ever be.
It is a fear/loathing imbedded in our DNA.
Do you know how ridiculous you sound?
Proud to say I have not worn a tie (or a suit, for that matter) in close to 9 years. I’m not sure I even have any ties in my closet.
PB and J on matzah (during the year, of course)
I eat this year-round, Pesach included.
We need small sifrei Torah so that we don’t need shtarkers to lift them!
Joseph, you made me laugh. Shkoyach!
This is creepy. I think you’re all communicating in code.
For those not in the know, the title of this thread is a quote from Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland.” The riddle, as asked by the [Mad] Hatter, has no answer. RebYidd23’s first answer was actually Carroll’s attempt to come up with something, after being besieged by requests for an answer.
Don’t forget your NBN application! You can make aliyah while in E”Y!
Ummm . . . there’s no reason why you can’t serve cornflakes for supper.
If you’re in shidduchim and people hear that you have a dog, psssssssst, that’s it.
OMH here it is not even Purim yet, and you haven’t even helped Mommy and Tatty clean for Pesach yet, and you’re worried about packing for sem which isn’t even until when – September?
Because the Jabberwock said so.
And Tendler wants to change the Halacha to permit harvesting the organs of living people.
I assume you have a source or citation for this idea? I’m sure we’d all love to see it.
Why would you ask a question like this to a bunch of anonymous posters who may or may not have any idea of what they’re talking about?
I wear a kipah.
The kollel I attend holds by this opinion
Maybe the kollel you attend is holding by an incorrect opinion.
Why do you assume that “top Israeli yeshivas” are all chareidi?
Then I guess she’s a bigot.
Why do you think so?
Look at my first post. That was the original quote.
You didn’t explain why they’re not raffle prizes.
Not everyone entering a raffle is responsible enough to be a pet owner. Most animal shelters and reputable breeders will interview a family to make sure they would do well by the dog before allowing them to take one. I envision this pet ending up at a shelter.
