I’ll do the page numbers.
????? in honor of ??? ???????. I agree and value the Dati Le’umiim for their valuation of Israel as a religious entity. I hope everyone has a wonderful day barbecuing and flying flags and ignoring it and listening to speeches.
Syag: LOL
SaysMe: Is it possible that there is something you don’t want to share with us that is causing your struggles? It doesn’t make sense that all of a sudden an A student becomes a C student and even considers dropping out.
That something, is probably the issue, more than any ruchnius issues. Or you would have transferred much earlier. Did you fail this semester or last semester?
You really don’t need the As for grad school. You should play whatever it is that is stressing you up into a story. It’s about playing the game right, and your grades are only a small part of the decision. They want diversity. Basically, everything that’s bad for shidduchim, is good for graduate school.
I hear you about summer classes.
“ruchnius pursuits, but don’t immunize. On your thread about brainwashing? yeah that stuff. and the words i hear, things i see- i’ve lost my sensitivity to too much of it.”
SaysMe, this sounds really interesting, but I honestly don’t really understand what you’re saying here. I do understand about losing sensitivity.
If Hillel is there than everyone is there.
Yes, pretty much. Besides the family dynamics and the fact that they were not frum
I doubt SaysMe is considering becoming a brain surgeon. The fact is, if someone wants to have a desk job and be a wife and mother, it is far easier to do so with a college degree. The higher the better, but a BA is minimal.
WIY: I thought Rabbi Yosef said to say it.
OK I think it’s time for me to impress you all with my sophistication.
Matuk Kal is my very favorite wine. (just btw, I think dry wine = terrible and have no idea why anyone would drink it. Same goes for beer and spirits.)
I can also tolerate Joyvin, Moscato, Kedem 144, and … that’s it actually. That’s all the wine I know.
Whatever the Kollel Store sells.
SaysMe:
It’s a very difficult decision.
This is why Touro is so amazing. I can’t even imagine being in the atmosphere I am now for 3 years of basic courses, dealing with the whims of each instructor, without a social group. So I empathize with your struggles.
On the other hand, it sounds like you’re halfway through, which is honestly the hardest time to pull out. You already likely have a considerable financial investment, so besides for losing future income, you have probably depleted your savings somewhat. Besides, you REALLY don’t want to have to repeat all the courses you’ve taken in the future.
If you’re pushing yourself for As, then I would consider accepting Cs and just focus on finishing the degree with minimal work. In the end, all that counts is the paper, and you can always do other stuff for grad school. Also, take summer classes so you can finish it ASAP.
At the same time, get involved in the community. Go to shiurim, do chesed, etc. It will help immunize you to ruchnius issues.
So that’s my advice. Stay in school and finish your BA, but take the pressure off yourself, and work on increasing your social connections in the Jewish world. You can take it or leave it 🙂
The Goq: It wasn’t in mine. I read it as an adult (ironically in a chareidi home in Israel) and understand why.
Everyone does it on a first date. After that practicality slowly starts to take over.
Where did Dr. Nino go to university?
I never read it but the people I know who really love her are all really annoying people.
I don’t think you should. I think all prayers are good. How about praying a better prayer instead of negating the prayers of others?
Give me $50 and I’ll daven for you while being quiet as my teenage sibling(s) say bad things about me (and get a cut of the profits)
I thought it was funny and rather revealing.
Brony – I saw a famous actor once. My friend said he was. But I can’t remember the name though.
I would like to see Obama someday, and make the bracha on seeing a king.
Writersoul, I wasn’t referring to you. 🙂
Ok, how about Ancient Assyrian Archaeology?
Whatever you do, don’t go for English. Or Creative Writing. I think you should go for accounting, it’s a safe job.
Now seriously: If Touro has a major in it, it’s probably fine for a BY girl. Lots of BY girls go there. So you can pretty much be anything.
If you want to be REALLY safe, you can major in Judaic Studies.
Writersoul’s questions are good.
I hope this topic does not set people off. Understand that this is a valid topic just like any other.
Are you trying to point out that you are a troll? Good job.
I’m sure some people can help you, but you’re probably better off asking Mr. Google. He’s helpful, free, and you can get an immediate response. Then post the results of your research and any questions you have, and there is probably a speech therapist on board here who will help you.
Atmospheric paleontology is pretty good, I hear.
I’m with squeak, because inspirational books are basically a waste of time. At least the ones in English.
I think there should be more humor books like Mordechai Schmutter.
I don’t try to be grammatically correct in my Hebrew, as long as it sounds good I think it’s fine.
Anything in Yiddish Gems by Avraham Fried.
Does Lakewood have an eruv?
The Kanoi Next Door: +10
Where do you live (approximately)?
SecularFrummy: I said that Hashem left loopholes where you could choose to see Him. You asked for examples. But they are just that – loopholes. Teva, nature, is quite literally the “Matbea” the signet ring, of Hashem. The word Olam, world, in Hebrew comes from the same root as He’elem, to hide. Hashem hides Himself in “nature” but does leave us His signature which we can choose to be aware of.
Actually, in the majority of cases, it is mixed up. And no, you can’t argue that, it is quite clear that the thing that makes things matter is nearly impossible to find.
Let’s define each date as the set of ordered pairs (popa,date). Each x,y can be judged by any value you choose. So the cardinality of the set of all dates is |{(popa1,date1),(popa2,date2),…,(popan,daten)}|. That’s the number of dates Popa has been on. So Emperor Popa, listen to your wise Grand Vizier, who correctly determined the number of dates.
Wow, it sounds positively utopian.
Positive infinity then.
Don’t let us disturb you then.
For after studying: what makes one troll thread successful, and another less successful?
