DaMoshe- Not that I’m disagreeing with your point, but there are mekoros in Kabbalah for taking money.
For an insight into what your Rav said, see the book Faith and Folly by R Yakov Hillel where he details how people who think they’re holy and have some sort of koach are really accessing the kochos hatumah.
Frei’arim.
So go somewhere else.
Besides advances in the health world, the most important thing ever is mazgan, 24/7, 365.
Is that really pba? long time…
Anyway, obvs the phone is worse. One will kill you, one will send you to hell.
Thanks RY, glad we’re an army of 2.
Tofu is the West’s physical incarnation of kishuf. Stuff makes me scared…
“fancy rebbishe bekishe”s cost hundreds of dollars- asked a guy this purim who had just bought one. You go to the back of G&G in BP and they make you the sickest bekk for the price of your yerusha.
More tofu

Midwest2- If you insist. I very close friend of mine of sterling character, with whom I attended yeshiva for several years and then sat next to in shul for several more was next door neighbors w/ R Binyamin, and he told him he did it.
Midwest2- Do you think I would write that I know for a fact if I didn’t know for a fact?
I know for a fact that R’ Binyamin Elyashiv knows how to and has performed it.
Ha, DY says it like it is.
When we were expecting my first, my Rov, one of the biggest in these inyanim in Jlem, instructed me to tell them right away.
In Yershalayim ir hakodesh, one can either buy herring in a fish store and make it themselves- cheap, time consuming, and taste depends on your culinary skills- buy the ready made israeli herring- not so cheap, and utterly gross, or buy one of the well-made american style herrings for a premium, but they’re amazing.
See an arichus by R Gedalia Schorr ztzl in Ohr Gedalyahu on Shavuis, chelek moadim. He has a long shtikl about the difference between the two sets of luchos, based on what you’re saying.
I think ZTA is right. As long as they’re firmly attached, the itztaba’os are lichcoirah a chelek of the azarah/ritzpah, while a door will be a new pesach, not just another piece of wall.
No no, it’s the lungwurst you need to stay away from. Awful stuff.
I watched a vid from an audio tech/expert. He says, besides the quality of your audio, the higher frequency part of the sound is yanny, and the lower frequency part is laurel. As he changed the pitched from lower to higher, it became yanny, which I was unable to hear before. He actually said that by looking at the graph the sound generates, it doesn’t look like the patterns are of human origin, rather manufactured, based on anything he’s seen before.
Absolutely no to both. Totally overrated, and I make a killer cholent.
You can find videos from audio professionals explaining what’s going on, but both are in fact correct.
Only, only laurel. If you hear yanny, you’re slammed. Listened closely, twice, and can’t understand how you could even perceive yanny. I tried…
94 replies? Am I the only one seeing this?
I dated in Jlem. If you’re not looking for a hotel lobby, what do you want to do? Walk around? Outside/inside? Activity?
Shaver is brilliant. Utterly brilliant. You may be saving him from being oiver literally hundreds of thousands, maybe millions, of lavin.
…you’re probably a redneck.
Um, it’s a Rugel. Basics…
The Iran deal is not good. It’s untenable.
Laskern- That’s the very sort of diplomacy that got the US stuck in this dumb deal. And I have a quote from R Shneur Kotler ztzl that says the opposite. The bread in Lakewood yeshiva was consistently infested with ants, from the baking stage in the local bakery. The bochurim had to check each piece of bread before eating it, and the situation became unmanageable. They kept trying to figure out an eitzah, it never worked, and they kept eating the bug infested bread. When they went to R Shneur for advice, he simply said, until you passel the bakery, you won’t find an eitza. First, decide that no matter what, the bakery is not an option, and you’ll be able to work something else out. Just like this stupid deal.
Totally unacceptable.
Not sure how, if in fact bugs are present, one could have amesorah on eating bugs. We’re not talking chagavim here. The mesorah is on the dish/recipe, not on a bug-eating heter.
You could try enrolling in an online course. Problem would be that they probably work with female models, which could be annoying, they probably whine all day…
What do you mean by candid? Candid family portraits, candid street photography, candid wedding photography? Not really enough info.
BMG?
If you’re in Israel, there are people you can ask who can help you out. Not gonna say more, but you can have the mods give you my email.
@beee- Kids only long for America if the parents transmit that feeling unconsciously. I’ll take the problems that come with living here over the US any day.
Don’t know about the American one, but the Israeli navel pastrami from chafetz chaim is unbelievable. Expensive as heck, but awesome.
As am I. Shooting a lot more for profit, much less for fun, though I do enjoy a couple outings a year on bein hazmanim.
Wolf- Didn;t we once have a thread a while back on photography? At the risk of hijacking, I’m curious to see where our CR members are holding with their hobbies/careers.
BMG_Guy- Not sure where you’re holding in your photography education/level of expertise, but you’d be surprised how much you can learn from reading articles and watching youtube vids. These days, it’s a big gamble to assume investing thousands of dollars in education in photography will ever pay off. If you’re planning on opening a business, my advice would be to read/watch/learn on your own, open for business, see where it’s heading, and decide from there if you want to invest serious cash in education.
@Me12345- I’m maskim about the craziness of the matzav in brisk in terms of shiur, achva, etc. Fully agree it doesn;t have the tzurah of a reg. yeshiva- probably R Tzvi and R Sholom would be better for that. I don’t know if I believe 2/3 of the oilam by R Asher match up, but I don’t know, just speaking from experience from handling with everyone there I know- and I know good guys. Didn’t mean to make it a competition, just my thoughts about where to go to develop best in learning.
Halachayid- I’m not knocking the things the Mir has to offer. There are more guys in the Mir wasting their time, in a less yeshivishe oifen, and being in a brisker yeshiva and becoming a brisker are not at all synonymous. The mehalach halimud is incomparable; a good guy in brisk will take apart a good guy in the Mir anytime. I’m not saying they’re not good yeshivaleit, I’m saying the darga in learning cannot be compared. I have friends in the ‘elite’ chaburas in Mir, over 30, have been there for 10+ years, are very smart and serious, and just aren’t as good in learning as their counterparts in brisker yeshivos. I don’t think anyone who knows the matzav will question this. The really, really good guys by R Asher are usually ex-brisker chevra, and I know some of the best guys from R Asher that went on to learn in brisker yeshivas after having finished the whole machzor by him, and admit there’s no comparison in mehalach. If you’re looking to learn how to learn, besides shteiging in ruchnius, a brisker place will best afford you that opportunity. That said, almost no-one can be compared to R Asher- I heard chazara shiur from him for a week when my kollel learnt the same mesechta as the Mir, and I was poshut blown away. Also, it should be noted that Brisk wasn’t shtelled aveck for mussar, rather mostly for learning, and a bit of hashkafa (if you call RAY’s chumash shiur hashkafa, but that’s a whole ‘nother animal).
Avi K- B’yetzer hara askinan. Which is also why you need to have the door slightly ajar, not closed.
@Me12345- How could you possibly say it’s the best Yeshiva given the rest of your comment. Are you even being serious? The better guys by R’ Asher are great, but the average guy in the Mir doesn’t hold a candle to an average Brisker bochur. Trust me, I learnt in one of the Brisker yeshivos, and spoke in learning many times with guys in the Mir. There is no comparison.
@Halachayid- Why would you say that over Brisk, etc.?
KBY is vaiter more modernish/harry-ish/mizrachi-ish, though it is a great place for serious guys that fit there.
I don’t know if you care, and I don’t mean this negatively; it is a shtikl on the harry-ish side, not considered ‘yeshivish’ at all.
@arib- care to enlighten us, then?
That’s what I was referring to- the cash, not the gemara.
@Me- It’s mifurash in SH”A, don’t remember where. There are limudim from pesukim in Navi regarding how it gets divided up among the different parties involved.
Nope.
