popa- how do u know it was intended to be a private letter

DaasYochid- And you think seating them with women at weddings will cure that?

Yeah. Because there would be a smorgasboard of women to choose from.

Or you can join the underworld and doctor a teachers degree.

This thread is queer in nature:

The 3rd post on this thread seems to ask a self-born question. It was clearly tampered with, but for no apparent reason.

However, I’m glad to have been the one to prompt this reunion.

I separate Hakham Ovadia the posek from Hakham Ovadia the politician

Oh. Like Jekkyl and Hide.

His approach is a classic Sephardic one, and his psakim are actually quite sensible.

Thank you, rebdoniel, for sharing your scholarly assessment of Rav Ovadia.

If rebdoniel could go inside the Gadol’s head and only see the amount of Torah within, he would go instantly insane, and every fiber of his pride would evaporate.

This is a sad day for the CR.

I had not known there was so much Eiruv Rav.

A sad day indeed.

I think they only wear the white knitted kippot on Shabbos. That would explain why you’ve never seen them wearing tefillin.

@Going green: I know they they used to be vans and it was $20, but I think they have buses now. Sorry I can’t help more than that. I also think the stop is in West Gate, if that helps any bit. G. Luck.

and all of you are cooking freaks??

Oh how I was duped by your other posts.

There was a hollow howl in the mind-boggling nothingness of the empty sky on a deep blue night.

The center of night was approaching, and all light had been put out.

But Rivky lie awake. She had already made up her mind.

It was time for the dreamer to act on her dreams.

No more pre-arranged dates, no more approbations and denials.

Now it was Rivky, and Rivky alone who would decide her dates. Be they clandestine, be they with the devil himself.

Carefully, she detached the drapes in her room from the window lintel.

She draped it over herself, a ghostly cloth from head to toe.

With the scissors in her makeup drawer, she etched out a space in her newfound cloak. A rectangle, so that just the sparkle of her determined eyes shown.

She was now wearing a perfect Arab garb.

Through a drape-less window, a figure in a dark red cloak disappeared into the night.

Not many meters from her house, a rush off freedom overtook her. A thrill of ecstasy, like a prisoner set free.

By morning she would reach the Taliban. If Mohammed McDonald-McVeigh was the best learner in Town, it was him that she would date. Not to burden her parents to support a Kollel man. Not to dishonor her father and mother. Not to defy her Shadchan.

But for the sake of Torah.

I think the Rambam holds you only daven when you properly feel like davening.Otherwise, what you quote cannot be understood.

This makes sense, because when you daven just because other people are davening, you don’t have Kavana like when you actually want to daven.

I think I once heard a schmooze on this subject, although I haven’t adequately provided all the inyanim.

what is an apo?

Sam2- Please expound.

WIY- That is like asking, “Since we chew food anyway, why can’t some people stand mushed and pulverized food.”
