TomcheMember
Being a shochet is one of the most prestigious and honorable jobs in Yiddishkeit. A stark contrast to a goyish butcher.
TomcheMemberRSRH: Using your logic of him being an ani to borrow from a “general” psuhka, not only shouldn’t he have to pay back quickly, lchoireh he shouldn’t have to pay it back at all.
TomcheMemberTomcheMemberSam: What is a huge chiddush?
September 8, 2011 6:05 pm at 6:05 pm in reply to: YOEL ZEV The Boy From Japan- What A Lesson!!! #807445TomcheMemberHe was ACQUITTED. As in NOT GUILTY. Not that we needed a Japanese court to affirm his innocence, but they did. And this is in a country that has a NINETY NINE POINT EIGHT percent (that’s right — 99.8%) conviction rate!!!
September 8, 2011 12:53 pm at 12:53 pm in reply to: Free Prescription Glasses – VERY Limited Time #807002TomcheMemberRKT: I’ve had terrific experience with both of them, quality and customer service.
TomcheMemberThe question is not who “won the debate”. The question is who will be the best President.
The answer, IMHO, is Rick Perry. Mitt Romney would be a good second choice. Both have realistic shots at claiming the nomination. Jon Huntsman does not.
TomcheMemberNeither. Assuming you finished high school, you would comprehend that your original comment here doesn’t disagree with the OP. Given that you admit the proportions haven’t changed over time, it is no greater or lesser a crisis today than it was 40 years ago. There always were, and always will unfortunately be, people who cannot or do not get married for whatever reasons.
TomcheMemberYatzmich: Again, that would mean the so-called “Shidduch Crisis” in nothing new and always existed. There were always people throughout history that nebech never got married, for one reason or another.
TomcheMemberSam: Original the term was generally only used in conjunction with Kabbalistic issues?
September 8, 2011 3:53 am at 3:53 am in reply to: Free Prescription Glasses – VERY Limited Time #806999TomcheMemberI just saw that Coastal.com is running a promotion for prescription glasses for $10 a pair, including free shipping, with a selection of about 100 frames: http://bit.ly/nzhjJ7
TomcheMemberDisagree.
TomcheMemberSo if the people are getting married (and they are), why all this hype about a shidduch crisis? All it does is let armchair pundits to give all kinds of pathetic “boich svaros” why there is a crisis that doesn’t, in reality, exist.
TomcheMembermorah – And there are more people making shidduchim today than in the past. But proportionally the marriage rate is no less today than in the past.
TomcheMemberbpt – How is that any different than in the past? Or are you saying there was always a shidduch crisis in history?
TomcheMemberWhat shidduch crisis? No less people are getting married today that 40 years ago. The only difference is the frum get married younger today.
September 7, 2011 2:07 pm at 2:07 pm in reply to: Bishul Yisroel, Pas Yisroel, Cholov Yisroel #808441TomcheMemberold man: What do you mean by “intuition”? Same with “historical”. Please elaborate.
And if “sociological” factors are part of the psak, the psak would make clear what “sociological factors” it is taking into account. In the absence of such a disclaimer, it can be assumed it isn’t at play.
TomcheMemberPeople want to make themselves more attractive.
TomcheMemberThere are two reasons some people are pushing this. 1) It’s so rare in the frum world such a thing 2) They hate frum people and want to make it seem this isn’t rare.
This type of stuff is not rare outside the frum world.
Since this is man bites dog, its going around. Otherwise it wouldn’t.
TomcheMemberI get much chizuk hearing how these men are careful regarding arayos.
TomcheMemberYitty.
TomcheMemberDoesn’t moving to Toronto require Visa and immigration approval?
TomcheMemberVichtig = Important.
TomcheMemberSome examples, bomb, please.
TomcheMemberPetroleum Engineer, per chance?
TomcheMemberIt’s all an illusion. The grass is greener on the other side? You don’t know anyone else’s pekele.
TomcheMemberHe is too busy hugging trees.
TomcheMemberSo what would be the suitable alternative that, you think, can marginalize the net?
TomcheMemberWhat kind of engineer is she?
TomcheMemberHe is a sheigitz.
TomcheMemberWhat aspects are you comparing yourself to them? Wealth?
TomcheMemberWhy does it need “fixing”?
TomcheMemberSome shviggers are like Cinderella’s stepmother.
TomcheMembermmm22: CC boys seem to look for a working wife.
TomcheMemberI think Yenti is a beautiful Yiddishe name.
TomcheMemberA dream depends on how you interpret it. Also, in a dream there is a piece of untruth in the general truth of the dream.
Here is how I’ve interpreted your dream:
You will indeed come into a significant amount of money as per your dream. Yet the part about the friend passing is incorrect. It meant that his illness left him and he became well.
TomcheMemberhairy means someone is like eisev; very hairy.
TomcheMemberI really enjoy those great “art” when someone splashes a bunch of colors in some random order, and the National Endowment for the Arts pays thousands of dollars for such “pieces”.
TomcheMemberCharlie, I never heard of Jenny McCarthy before you mentioned her, and I doubt more than a minyan of frum Jews did either. Even if one of her views may be shared by some through happenstance.
TomcheMemberAnd Obama went from “community activist” on the streets of Chicago to POTUS.
August 31, 2011 4:59 pm at 4:59 pm in reply to: Free Prescription Glasses – VERY Limited Time #806996TomcheMemberHow do these stores sell prescription glasses for under $15 when retailers charge hundred’s of dollars for the same thing?
TomcheMemberYou showed that you really felt with them. It was perfectly normal, acceptable, and it in fact is a good thing. It is like crying at a levaya.
TomcheMemberWho needs the original when you can get a perfect carbon copy.
TomcheMember*typo above: “despite” should have read “despise”.
TomcheMemberI am a poor boy and I want to marry a rich girl. Why is society and the shidduch system so messed up that all the rich girls refuse to date or marry poor boys?!?
TomcheMemberI think many of you missed yungerman1’s valid point that maris ayin applies even in your bedroom if no one sees you.
TomcheMemberThe government is blocking the AT&T purchase of T-Mobile.
TomcheMemberPerhaps a solution is to tell the shadchan no, let her advise the other side no with a canned reason, then afterwards (maybe a week later) give her a better reason for her purposes only that won’t get back to the other side.
TomcheMemberold man: And what does he write about this issue?
TomcheMemberI always assumed the literal translation was “religious”. Though I despite labels whether “frum”, “Orthodox”, “religious”, “Chareidi”, and all else.
