September 13, 2013 4:46 am at 4:46 am in reply to: Friend wants to marry girl he met online #1187430Torah613TorahParticipant
It is a bad example to set for young and impressionable children. They should say that her teacher or his Rebbe set them up.
September 13, 2013 4:45 am at 4:45 am in reply to: When I was younger I thought…Now I realize that…. #1023356Torah613TorahParticipantExplain please
It’s pashut. Popa is the smartest person in the world.
Torah613TorahParticipantPBA: Why would they stop washing their shirts just when they get a free, full-service laundromat?
Torah613TorahParticipantThat is a good and true point.
Torah613TorahParticipantlol Popa. If it wasn’t you posting that I would find it hard to believe.
Torah613TorahParticipantThey are probably in shidduchim.
Torah613TorahParticipantThat’s why girls are permitted to wear only black, because they’ll do the laundry even if you can’t see any dirt on it.
Torah613TorahParticipantThe boys would never wash the shirts if they weren’t white.
Torah613TorahParticipantIf you wear a toupee does that count as a yarmulke?
September 10, 2013 8:57 pm at 8:57 pm in reply to: When I was younger I thought…Now I realize that…. #1023333Torah613TorahParticipantI thought the sun set behind my neighbor’s house, and was very proud to live nearby.
Torah613TorahParticipantlive right: your hair is dead when it comes out of your scalp. That’s why you can cut it.
Torah613TorahParticipantWhat has to be perfect about the picture?
Torah613TorahParticipantYour Rav is correct. It is completely assur to lift weights and then drop them on someone else’s toes!
Torah613TorahParticipantIs a baby like a kelev if it is sucking a bottle while traveling in a stroller?
September 10, 2013 8:53 pm at 8:53 pm in reply to: How to respond to your eighteen-year-old teen who says this? #974328Torah613TorahParticipantSounds like the teen is angry, and you’re giving a defensive response to an emotional outburst.
If the teen is a girl, my mother recommends “I’m not mad I just hate you” for understanding teenage girls. Dunno if it applies with boys, and I’ve not read the book.
September 10, 2013 8:52 pm at 8:52 pm in reply to: How to enforce Tznius guidelines in a Kehillah #976130Torah613TorahParticipantFor women or men?
For women, talk to the women individually.
But honestly, you really cannot do so much. You can put up sayings about tznius and have Ateres and start chaburas on Rabbi Falk, and hope it filters through, but keep in mind it is a personal decision and there’s no guarantee it will work.
Torah613TorahParticipantEhrenfelds
Torah613TorahParticipantIt says in my ArtScroll Machzor that you’re not supposed to daven for personal needs on Rosh HaShanah.
September 8, 2013 2:57 am at 2:57 am in reply to: Popa's reflections on Motzaei Shabbos; Haazinu #973015Torah613TorahParticipantWell, I think it’s funny.
Torah613TorahParticipantDe Blasio
Torah613TorahParticipantThanks, and the same to everyone on the CR. Ksiva v’Chasima Tova! Mochel lach mochel lach mochel lach, and please do the same for me.
Torah613TorahParticipantI fourth the notion.
Torah613TorahParticipantTry aluminum. Silver is too expensive to eat anyway.
September 3, 2013 12:33 am at 12:33 am in reply to: Why Would a Girl Even Want to Learn Talmud? #973852Torah613TorahParticipantWhy not? It’s secret, interesting, relevant to daily life and everyone else is learning it. So learn some Ein Yaakov and let us know when you’re done and want to start with Gemara.
August 29, 2013 5:58 pm at 5:58 pm in reply to: Interviews: Funny answers to trick questions #972498Torah613TorahParticipantSaysMe: Not in my experience. Writersoul, I think you’ll do best in Machon Ra’aya.
Torah613TorahParticipantlive right: i would think a bald woman would want to cover her head
Thanks. The problem is, the woman is not bald, she just has invisible hair. Does she have to worry about it peeking out from the invisibility cloak? What if it’s translucent?
Torah613TorahParticipantWell I never went off, and I dislike leading questions when I don’t agree with the premise, but it’s usually a combination of the two. Life is not black and white.
Torah613TorahParticipantSyag: My pleasure. 🙂
Torah613TorahParticipantThey should make weight limits or something, because why can someone come on with 2 small suitcases, but not a garment bag, tefilin bag, and suitcase, which takes up less space?
I like to follow rules, so the last time I flew and did not want to check baggage, I stuffed a garment bag into another large bag with a small bag and asked if I now have 2 bags. They said, “That’s okay.” Then I separated them when I got on the plane.
August 28, 2013 5:00 pm at 5:00 pm in reply to: Interviews: Funny answers to trick questions #972494Torah613TorahParticipantSomeone asked where my great-grandparents live. I responded, “In the cemetery.”
Torah613TorahParticipantThanks eclipse, and wikipedia commons.
Torah613TorahParticipantHashem provided an all natural announcement.
First baby, you do tell. You will probably tell anyway since you will want to talk about it with your mother!
After that, most people tell their parents shortly before they start showing, if they don’t live nearby and don’t wish someone else to mention it to their parents.
Torah613TorahParticipantClassic halachic technicalism that completely misses the whole point of the halacha.
Exactly.
Torah613TorahParticipantSyag: It’s obviously not true since the walls of Kimchi’s house never saw her hair, and if the point is that it should not be seen, then she didn’t need to cover it inside her house.
Popa: Think about it. They are searching for the Elder Wand.
Torah613TorahParticipantHow do you clean up shidduchim?
I know!
You can use Charming paper towels with Mr. Clean who will sweep her off her feet and Pledge marriage with much Joy.
Torah613TorahParticipant??????? ??’ ??????? ??????? ??? ???????
I’m pretty sure this counts as ??????
Torah613TorahParticipantBeing a Rov is a full time job nowadays because stupidities like this.
Totally off topic, but being a Rov has always been a full time job, as people are human.
Torah613TorahParticipantI don’t know the community so well, but have spent Shabbos there, and I once ate a meal at the Rav and Rebbetzin of the Young Israel of Pelham Parkway. They are incredibly warm and talented people who are truly devoted and accepting of everyone.
Torah613TorahParticipantI managed to prove to the sem that the subject of the phone call was not an issue at all and totally wrong but the rav of the seminary I was supposed to be going to would not budge from his decision not to accept me or even give me a trial period.
That’s really hard. On the positive side, a seminary that would treat a prospective student like that may not have been the best place anyway. I hope you do find a place where you are happy for this year. Hatzlacha!
Torah613TorahParticipantJust ask to borrow the baby on their way out. Tell them you’ll return it later.
August 20, 2013 2:51 pm at 2:51 pm in reply to: Place to get affordable, tzniusdik clothes for young girl #1055978Torah613TorahParticipantIf you’re looking for really cheap, Penina’s in Boro Park sells children’s clothes at cost as a chessed. They have limited but classic styles. They are in the low 40’s and there is no sign in front of the store, on the same side as Peretz. All clothes are washable.
Peretz has very nice girl’s clothes. They are good quality and washable. They tend to be a bit more expensive than Penina’s but still very reasonable.
Torah613TorahParticipantHappy belated birthday!
And happy birthday for next year, too!
August 20, 2013 2:45 pm at 2:45 pm in reply to: Best way to break in four-inch stilettos before Yom Tov? #971892Torah613TorahParticipantThe hardest way is to ask your husband to wear them for a few days.
That’s the most comfortable way. Because then he’ll never ask you to wear them again.
Torah613TorahParticipantProbably it’s because cows and bulls have different social norms. Probably.
Of course it is because of gender norms. The bulls are exposed to low expectations by being put behind a steel fence.
August 15, 2013 1:08 am at 1:08 am in reply to: Why Aren't These Posters Banned and Their Topics Deleted? #970833Torah613TorahParticipantYeah, Poe’s law and all that.
Torah613TorahParticipantwallflower: That’s so interesting, I have a sibling who does that too. (will only daven if no one is around to see)
August 15, 2013 12:59 am at 12:59 am in reply to: Good Child Relationshp With Bad Acts or Bad Relationship With Better Acts? #970835Torah613TorahParticipantWould you rather a child who does bad things but trusts, communicates with, and confides in his/her parents?
Yes, and hopefully their definition of “bad” includes skipping vasikin and tikkun chatzos, and posting on Yeshiva World.
Torah613TorahParticipantWe want to be addicted to some things. Like it is good to be addicted to drinking, or eating healthy food.
August 15, 2013 12:56 am at 12:56 am in reply to: Why Aren't These Posters Banned and Their Topics Deleted? #970831Torah613TorahParticipantOneOfMany: Thank you for asking. This is not a serious thread at all. 🙂
Proof: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/what-is-your-favorite-soda-flavor#post-483095
Torah613TorahParticipantPBA: I have also been doing things, mostly fun things.
OOM: Isn’t it? It almost feels like autumn.
