The FrumguyParticipant
shloime60: You don’t happen to work for Bill Gates, do you?
The FrumguyParticipantAbba_S:
Any ideas as to where the boy’s mother gets such a “fakrumpt” hashkafa?
The FrumguyParticipantCould you please clarify?
July 17, 2015 8:20 pm at 8:20 pm in reply to: And I'm The One Disrespecting The Davening???!! #1092621The FrumguyParticipantWolfishMusings:
You are 100% justified to feel the way you do. People simply don’t know open Halacha in the Shulchan Aruch — especially not only when someone acts like an Am Ha’aretz but when it also disturbs someone else’s davening.
In addition, there is supposed to be NO HEFSEK between the Uva L’Tzion kaddish and the start of Mussaf. So this “neighbor” in shul is wrong on all counts.
Have a Good Chodesh.
The FrumguyParticipantI did exactly that — someone else went over to daven and I didn’t say anything.
The FrumguyParticipantmybrother:
When you say “I heard that the parah aduma near Lakewood gave birth” do you have reliable sources or is it just something going around?
The FrumguyParticipantYasher Koach, flatbusher. You’re 100% correct. I stopped going to acquaintances’ simchos for quite a while now. I respond “I’ll try to attend the Chuppah” with a warm Mazal Tov on the reply card.
The FrumguyParticipantA simple but direct “Excuse Me” should do the trick. You could also suggest that they move to the side so as not to obstruct other pedestrians.
The FrumguyParticipantTznius (for both women and men) does not exclusively refer to clothing. It’s also speaking loudly in the street (such as on a cellphone), playing a car radio loudly, being an overly loud davener and many other things which call attention to oneself.
The FrumguyParticipantGet permission from the Rov to carry tape on Shabbos to be used on the mouths of those perpetrators.
The FrumguyParticipantmw13: I find the phrase “all of Klal Yisroel” to be redundant. “Klal” means “all.”
The FrumguyParticipantI know how terribly annoying this can be. I think it’s the season for them to start this scam again. They JUST DON’T GIVE UP!!
The FrumguyParticipantapushatayid: Is there a difference between a “bribe” or a “Shadchan fee?” In either case, the shadchan keeps 10K if it leads to a chupah.
The FrumguyParticipantOffering that amount if the shidduch goes through to chupah.
The FrumguyParticipant147: Aren’t Shadchanim supposedly more effective than Jewish dating sites?
apushatayid: Offering to pay. I’m not sure what you mean.
The FrumguyParticipantHey, WolfishMusings: I thought you yourself were the Ba’al Korei??
The FrumguyParticipantSigns of Moshiach or not, it happens to be the cutest cow I’ve ever seen.
The FrumguyParticipantCould someone please elaborate?
The FrumguyParticipantDaasYochid: Feedback from the numerous Bubbys and Zaidys with whom I’ve spoken.
BarryLS1: Of course I’m not referring to those with considerate kids that DO help — I’m speaking about the overwhelming majority that don’t.
The FrumguyParticipantFrom the feedback I hear, it seems that those of you who actually help out (may you have much Brocho) are in the small minority.
The FrumguyParticipantA huge Yasher Koach for bringing up this despicable behavior.
P.S. Is a “green Erev Sabbos and Erev Rosh Chodesh” one where we don’t use up any natural resources?
The FrumguyParticipantOf course it was developed to be placed in shalach manos — hence the smaller size bottle.
The FrumguyParticipantI think Ted Cruz is, by far, the best GOP candidate for Yidden and this country.
The FrumguyParticipantThanks, aniceberg. I’ll try to look it up — it’s a real memory.
The FrumguyParticipantrescue37 – Not to mention a communal shower!!
The FrumguyParticipantI remember Choo-Choo (Lionel) Friedman, Aaron “The Axe” Akselrod, Head Counselor Rabbi David Himber.
The FrumguyParticipantHe’s been asked (more than once) by a Gabbai to quiet down his bein gavra ritual, but to no avail.
The comparison to Ketores doesn’t hold up because he’s certainly not a “rasha”, just someone who was never trained in social etiquette. It seems to be more of a mentchlich thing.
Of course “chucking him out of shul” is not something that our minyan aspires to, only as a last resort. That’s why I asked in the opening “what can be done?”
The FrumguyParticipantBelieve me, our minyan has absolutely no problem with our beloved Rav.
Even if it is a medical condition (which I can almost assure you it isn’t), how much are the mispalelim expected to endure? Shouldn’t he have some courtesy for us?? I don’t expect someone with an IV sticking out of his arm to come to daven b’rabim!
The FrumguyParticipantI am going to assume that this is NOT a medical condition inasmuch as there are some tefillos where this doesn’t occur at all. It is more similar to when you and I clear our throat occasionally.
Of course I can’t compare our mispalel to zahavasdad’s, since that one might be a criminal activity whereas mine is not.
Asking him to sit near the back is an idea but might entail being mevayash him b’rabim.
The FrumguyParticipantThis hasn’t yet been brought up to our Rav. Knowing the Rav, he probably wouldn’t want to get so involved in something such as this.
I wholeheartedly agree with Comlink-X about the difference between a Talmid in Yeshiva and our shul’s dilemma.
The FrumguyParticipantIs it any wonder why one of the most popular phrases in Eretz Yisroel currently is “Kahana Tzodek”?
The FrumguyParticipantPlease see my post. I never said ALL mothers — just that there “are some” who look for an easy way out of Hashem’s ideal way of nourishing a baby.
The FrumguyParticipantBRAVO oomis!! There are some extremely lazy and self-centered “mothers” today who choose not to nurse solely for selfish reasons.
The FrumguyParticipantWe say it for the first time at Ma’ariv this coming Thursday night, December 4th.
The FrumguyParticipantI didn’t notice any non-frum Yidden walking with a host throughout the entire Shabbos and none in my shul. Even the “Havdalah Event” looked like it was an audience of just (or mostly) frum Yidden. Appears like it was a flop to the extent that they wanted it.
The FrumguyParticipantI assume you mean Yeshiva Gedolah of SOUTH Fallsburg. It is known for serious learning that goes on there.
The FrumguyParticipantTo SayIDidIt:
“You can make a ???? on besamim anytime you want.”
There might be a problem with a hefsek in the Havdalah if no besamim is required.
The FrumguyParticipantWhat kind of flame – existing or new? Besamim or not?
The FrumguyParticipantHow do you know this fact?
The FrumguyParticipant“millions a pond millions of dollars”
The phrase is “millions UPON millions of dollars.” I hope that your English and grammar are not indicative of the school system in Austin.
The FrumguyParticipantI think that curly payos in front of the ear (worn by most Chassidim) borders on L’vush Isha. Women are the ones for whom curlers are made – not men! Why so much fuss over “curly payos”?
The FrumguyParticipantI’m sure you know what happens if you “daven for the amud” just a wee bit too slow…
The FrumguyParticipantI agree with you and there are so many other places where speed takes over. I don’t think that it’s proper to do “funny” things in a shul in order to disrupt the tefillah.
I would also mention the daily first brocha of Krias Shema after Yishtabach – usually way too fast. Since pronouncing Shema correctly is me’akev in being yotzei, so too are the brochas – they must be pronounced as clearly as the Shema itself.
The FrumguyParticipantPerhaps you should be looking into a motel instead. I often stay at one and likewise buy my meals out. It’s much less expensive and some motels are quite pleasant.
The FrumguyParticipantIf people want to know the main reason why we don’t have the Beis Hamikdash rebuilt, it’s probably this. If we don’t know how to treat a Mikdash Me’at then what will be with the REAL thing??? Truly disgusting.
I’d love to hear from anyone who is for “Kiddush Clubs.”
April 17, 2014 9:45 pm at 9:45 pm in reply to: Speaking between mincha and maariv on yontiff #1012578The FrumguyParticipantWhat’s a “yontiff”?
The FrumguyParticipantHow does one sign up for “Dan’s Deals” notifications?
The FrumguyParticipantPopa bar abba:
Don’t you know Jews don’t fix cars? It’s not in our blood.
February 28, 2014 1:16 am at 1:16 am in reply to: What's your style when poor people come collecting at your door? #1006195The FrumguyParticipantI got a P’sak from my Rav that I should only give when they present a letter from a reputable source. It’s really out of hand sometimes.
When they ask for more, I usually try to take back what I already gave and apologize for not giving what he/she had in mind.
I’ve also had the same question as coffee addict.
The FrumguyParticipantI’m here right now and, as usual, it’s a beautiful convention.
