HIR: Tomato patch is a real entity in queen’s imagination. Maybe in the summertime…
We need new rules. I vote any place that means something to you works.

“GOP front-runner Donald Trump seemed to have been negatively affected by the avian population,”
Because he ate up all the turkeys. He tried to eat the bathtub but it wouldn’t go down his throat.
MA: I am very much in this physical world all day, and talk to Hashem constantly, asking for help in finding things around the house, getting the kids ready for school, getting to appointments on time. And even for more cheshek for davening.
We were meant to live in this physical world and connect to Hashem wherever we are. removing oneself from this physical world is for the monks, not a Jewish concept.

shii: Agree
Health: you think you are both deep and wise, that is a very subjective opinion. It is always good to look outside of yourself for a reality check. And if you are already doing that, then why not use a person who has das torah for that reality check.

charliehall: Please don’t take my words out of context. There is breaking tradition, and there is breaking Jewish law. Go learn the difference.
HIR: wisdom is having experience, knowledge, and good judgment.
Being deep is being an analytical thinker and curious, liking to get to the bottom of things. Many scientists and philosophers are deep.
That doesn’t answer the question. How does wise and deep differ, so that you can be one without being the other?
How is deep and wise different?

Rebyid: It isn’t about fashion, it’s about the number of outfits to bring along to a Shabbaton. The outfit can be as fashionable as you please.

not sure either 😉
Sometimes a post doesn’t show up, and after I post, there is someones post before mine, which wasn’t there when I posted.

Lawyer: I don’t see how “shleping” a sweater is more cumbersome than “shleping” various outfits for different times of the day, and changing outfits numerous times. We are discussing a school rule for a shabbaton where not all the girls come from wealthy homes and have 15 clothing stores at there disposal. Obviously you and your girls are entitled to wear as many outfits per day as you see fit. That goes for my girls as well.
However, at a shabbaton, the school is entitled to make the rules. and this particular rule was put in place for good reason.
see Mammele’s post above.
lawyer: The length of the necklace doesn’t matter, because it is only to see what needs to be covered on the sides and back of the neck, in the front, the collar bone needs to be covered, no necklace needed. It should be a chain necklace which hangs loosely (not a rigid necklace). I hope you find this a little clearer.
I didn’t think I need to add this, but just in case it isn’t clear, everything beyond the necklace, side and back, including the back and bodice, needs to be covered. Sorry if this sounds preachy. I don’t make the halachos, I just keep them.
The tznius book, (I think it’s Rabbi Falk, correct me if I’m wrong) says you should cover the areas that are outside a necklace worn. meaning where the necklace lies naturally may be uncovered, further out the side and back, keep it covered.

lawyer: “Walking home from shul after a program at 9pm might require warmer clothing than walking to shul in the mid morning sunshine.”
A sweater or jacket works wonderfully for cooler evening walks.
Looks like a guitar with four strings. Why shouldn’t it be a name of a town somewhere? We have a street called “wits end”.
The name sounded Hawaiian
Maybe the mods should check
I can’t understand how Mrs. Weasley allowed a Troll to live in her attic. Why didn’t she have Mr. Weasley get rid of it RIGHT NOW. I’m sure a troll is worse than a spider!
I’m am finding this whole thread hilarious. JK Rowling in England doesn’t have a yiddishe kup and certainly didn’t expect her yiddishe readers to “learn” her books as if it was lehavdil Torah.
Perpetual commotion is a fun card game to play with the whole family.
How is the definition of yeshivish different than chasidish who also believe in daas Torah, gemilas chesed, large families, close knit communities etc.
Btw Ayelet does makeup and hair.
Ayelet at Limage does a fantastic job, and she is someone nice to have around on the day of your chasunah.

What does a one outfit rule have to do with tznius? It’s about keeping the fashion show and competition to a minimum.
My daughters have a 1 outfit rule at their shabbatons it is meant to make the Shabbos more about the program and less about showing off your wardrobe. My girls actually like the rule, it lowers the stress level when packing.

Mammele: ” If you’re too close to them to suggest it without risk to your relationship find someone else to do it. But don’t stall!”
There are 2 shidduchim that I spoke to several people trying to get it redt. No one wanted to do it, it is simply so way out of their comfort zone.
I feel very sorry for the singles in question and tried pursuing it several times. Read what the singles in this thread have to say, just about asking their age, and then please try to understand the point of view, of a queen who is quietly raising her children, minding her own business, and not looking to hurt anyone or make enemies.
I actually met one of the singles in question at a chasunah, and thought to myself, if I have an opening, I’ll take the plunge and mention the idea. But Miss single looked so vulnerable and fragile to me, I was afraid to bring it up and make her “miserabler”.
What do you think, singles want to be redt shidduchim everywhere they go? What if she goes home and cries into her pillow all night because she can’t even attend a cousin’s chasunah without encountering “yentas” ….
It is really a hard situation.
Bored: “Although supporting your husband in kollel should not be viewed as a curse, if you you do view it that way obviously it is not for you)”
Hashem said that parnossah is a curse. Not I. I don’t see how the “curse” is lifted because it enables your spouse to learn. The work is a curse.
I think it is a zchus to work so your husband can learn, as long as it isn’t interfering with the well being of the wife and/or children.
When I had my second baby I said to my husband, I was happy to take upon myself the curse of Adam until now, now I feel swamped with the curse of Chava b”H, and I don’t feel physically or emotionally able to juggle both. And I absolutely refuse to have my kinderlach raised by a babysitter. (I was taking baby #1 with me to work, which couldn’t work with 2 babies).
And so, my dear husband had to leave his beloved (to both of us) kollel and go to work to support his family. Which is as it should be. And it didn’t stop him from finishing shas.

“When I think of an idea for a possible shidduch, I’m always torn between making the call, or being smart and banishing the thought before I go near the phone. It’s no use wishing singles (and their parents) were less sensitive; I can’t think of a more sensitive issue! Even with the best of intentions the possibility of bruising feelings is exponentially greater than the possibility of bringing two people together.”
So true! there is a shidduch that was thought of over a year ago for 2 older singles, but no one has the courage to redt it, for fear of insulting somebody.
