Hands Down.
They could be found at your local shoprite refrigerator section. but they aren’t cheap.
Is it true that some law schools require only the first year in law school, then you are able to apprentice for a law firm for the next 2 years?
Did anyone hear of this? Do all law schools allow this?

BaalHabooze is asking the same question that perplexed me after I watched ‘the ten commandments’
Are you upset the girl didn’t ask you to take part?
Ask your local Jewish travel agency.

This machlokes the Rosh and Rashba is misunderstood by most people. There are really two parts to the equation:
1) The bracha ‘Al Netilas/Netilat Yadayim’,
2) The act of washing your hands
The machlokes Rosh and Rashba is refering to the bracha. There are at least four reasons for washing, brought by the Magen Avraham.
Turn a tape recorder on, breathe into it, then listen on playback.
Okay Simcha613, I’m all in.
1) Alarm clock going off Shabbos morning
2) Forgetting that your tzitzis are not out by ‘Vayomer’
3) Being called up to an Aliya on the way to the bathroom
4) Chrain on the shirt by a kiddush
5) Mailman tries to hand you mail on shabbos
6) Wrong machsur to shul on Yom Tov
7) Starts raining at the chuppah
8) Someone tells you you are sitting in Eliyahu Hanavi’s chair
9) Hit in the eye by someone putting on their tallis
9) The Ba’al Tefila is a self-proclaimed Chazzan

Clearly, pas nisht, the starter of this thread, is Mr. Filch.
He is a member, he’s very grumpy, always looking to catch something wrong, and we never have seen him eat bread; hence ‘pas nisht’.

That is very interesting. Though the Mishna B’rura says not to rely on those Shitos. (first page of Mishna B’rura)
Is this about frustration for being Jewish?
Limud HaTorah is international service.

You look perfectly fine from here.
Haifagirl,
Ciief Secratary of Crammer Enforcement Commands,
Personally, I would rather ‘normal English’ than ‘correct’ abnormal English. And I would rather completely abnormal and incorrect English than grammatically correct Swahili. And I would rather run on sentences than run off ones.
Also, I’m not sure if your post is a badly formed persuasive essay, or an unfinished edict, I and therefore cannot grade it appropriately at this time.
Please see me in my office.
When the draft issue came up a while ago, Knesset members were trying to ram down the others’ throats to pass legislation to draft Chareidim. They were doing it so hurriedly like it was a national security issue. Then, a Chief General of the IDF was brought in the Knesset to speak. And you know what he said? WE DON’T NEED THEM, WE DON’T WANT THEM!
No no. What DY is saying, and eloquently so, is that he is the one who is stuck. How would you feel standing in front of a classroom, haven been taken out by a pipsqueak student the year before?
Hence, the cold???

JK,

We used to be eggs- the more we were boiled the firmer we became.
Now we’re like glass. “fragile, handle with care.”
A guy named Mendy Pellin is behind this. He’s a self proclaimed Jewish comedian (he appeared on the Jay Leno show a while back- he also is the one who produced Shwekey’s music video “Cry No More”.
Is this for Havdalah? then make havdalah on Lipton.
If you mean in general, then drink tea with honey and lemon juice, have leftover chicken soup, some vitamin C, and just a lot of fluids.
JUST LEAVE MOTZEI SHABBOS OUT OF THIS, WILL YA
Dear superme,
It’s about time you were let in on a secret. From your description, it is irrefutable that Your Rabbi is
a) emotionally imbalanced
b) grossly lacking self esteem
Take yourself out of the equation for a sec, and listen: He’s trying to make a living, fighting mightily for his mortgage payment and to put food on the table for his family. His teaching only superficially builds his self esteem, so he must torment others to gain himself a handle. YOUR STRONG. YOU HAVE FRIENDS. YOU’RE YOUNG AND FREE. Pity him.
We once had a teacher who used to throw tantrums at expense of good boys (and she always gave us bad marks). We realized she was very insecure so the class chipped in for a box of chocolates for Purim, and the whole class signed it. We gave it to her the week before Purim, and the second she got it, she walked out of the room. When she came back, she was all red eyed like she was crying in the bathroom. She was THE NICEST TEACHER SINCE!
It is a good idea to get hold of the other Rav in the room. If you think he’s a Rav you would want to talk to, call his home, and set up a meeting, and nothing less. Lay the story down before you meet him to make sure you’re not leaving anything out. If not, speak to the rav of your shul who knows you or your family, for advice.
Let us know what happened, and good luck!
Best not to walk more than 4 Amos (6-8 feet). Some hold you can walk the length of your entire house, but the Mishnah Berura is not happy with that shitah.
Then why does NOBODY have Netilas Yadayim next to their bed? Because first thing most people do in the morning is relieve themselves, and its a mitzva to do that first. Next, you wash- and your already in the bathroom.
If you wake up in middle of the night to use the restroom, on the way out you should wash 3 times on each hand.
to confirm,
just ask the rabbi;)
Speak to your Rav.
If the box of chocolates is fancyish then that is enough. Something small and elegant always does it. Anything too big will give an impression of foreign guest (reciprocating for the meals), rather than family giving a token for their invite. Have a d’var torah, and don’t forget your pj’s.
As an aside,
I don’t get it. You’re in ‘serious shidduchim’ meaning you’re not yet engaged? – what are you doing then eating with your not-yet-fiance’s grandparents? Do you call the Oma and Opa already? If they invited you at this early stage, you needed not accept (it is not so uncommon for grandparents to get ahead of themselves). You will eventually learn that complementing others’ desires can sometime be out of place, and not necessarily the right thing to do. Have grace and backbone to bow out of any other conformity that doesn’t feel right to you.
Sure hope you do Oma & Opa proud!
Wow. People can be so nasty.

To sushee, re: “MLK was an anti-semite and a drunk.”

Conversely, here is an excerpt of a letter written by Martin Luther King Jr. to a friend of his who was anti-Zionist:
“. . . You declare, my friend, that you do not hate the Jews, you are merely ‘anti-Zionist.’ And I say, let the truth ring forth from the high mountain tops, let it echo through the valleys of God’s green earth: When people criticize Zionism, they mean Jews–this is God’s own truth.
“Anti-semitism, the hatred of the Jewish people, has been and remains a blot on the soul of mankind. In this we are in full agreement. So know also this: anti-Zionist is inherently antisemitic, and ever will be so.
Just my hapence:
Good one! Keep the change.
Every pot has a lid. But If you don’t make an effort to put the lid on the pot, it”ll remain without a lid. And the lid without the pot.
And a watched pot never boils.
Talking about racism, I’d like to pay tribute, today, on the anniversary of the icon of racial equality, Martin Luther King Jr. It is a speech that is ranked high up there among that of Socrates in his final parting hour, anomg Patrick Henry’s “Give me liberty, or give me death”, Lincols Gettysburg Address, and Reagan’s “Tear down this wall”.
Here are some exerpts of Martin Luther’s “I have a dream”. Included, are poetic lines from tanach, which Mr. King was fluent in.
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
Dear snowbunny3318,
First of all, your trailblazing desicion to attend Bais Yaakov, even as your family was non-religious, inspires me.
The bais Yaakovs, and any other Jewish religious schools do not dismiss, much less negate the countless stories in the Torah of equal opportunity. So numerous are the lessons of equality in Chumash alone, that they are always borrowed in Christain parochial schools to teach morals to their own students.
The Torah calls us “Mamleches Kohanim V’goy Kadosh” – a princly, holy nation above others, and the Gemara expounds on the word “Achicha”, “your brother”, refers to your brother in observance. So the Observing Jew is indeed singlar.
However, being that we are the Chosen People, we are chosen from on high, and not chosen by the world (In fact, history shows quite the opposite). It is a private singularity.
Doesn’t every religious peoples view themselves as singular?
That frum Jews are unnatural at embracing people from outside their creed, is an utmost virtue. It denotes of their sheltered childhood from the influences of gentile culture, and it certainly should not be compromised for ideals of cultural embracement.
I hope this helped.
1. My name cleared
2. My buddy Clantino out
3. The suitcase back with the full amount
According to BussinessWire 2011 Wedding Statistics, the average number of wedding guests is 141. The average Jewish wedding is more than double that. The caveat is that the frum family is about 3 1/2 times the the non-jewish family. This means that the Family/Aquantence ratio is considerably smaller among Non-Jews.
If this convinces you to invite them, it shouldn’t.
Phobia aside, your husband is right.
Tell your business aquantinces fleetingly that it is a religious ceremony, and make no fuss about it.
Bring cakes to your office afterwards from the wedding.
Instead of spending $20 dollars on dining them, buy a 20 cake for each one. This should impress them enough to make up for there non-invite.
If you think this isn’t good enough, and that it can jeapordize your work atmosphere and parnassa, consult with a Rav, and refer back to you husband.

In Rav Avigdor Miller’s famous Thursday night shiur, someone asked hime if there is life on other planets, and he responded that he doesn’t know, but that Adam, man, is exclusive to earth.
