I love Rabbi Blumenkrantz zatzal’s digest. I read it from cover to cover.
It has so much hashkafa, personality, and fascinating information – and such a practical presentation of halachos!
I like these Divrei Torah. WIY, do you have a blog?
Very nice, WIY. Thank you for posting it.
q
Popa, what he intends to ask is, can you go to a bar for a mitzva date? (mitzva date – I suppose that’s when you date an older girl.)
only because bp27 already answered
Make me plotz.
Also, let’s think about all the private people who can’t afford to give 1000 but give 20% of what they earn anyway around Pesach time.
Don’t know the halacha, but barring life or death issues, it wouldn’t happen in my kitchen.
It’s a troll people. You shouldn’t respond to it.
ShalomToYou: I’m not Popa, who is the expert, but I think you have a nearly perfect troll post!
Tone of Holier than Thou – check
Really provocative – check
Off-topic random and incorrect connection to chopsticks – check
Logic-less connection of non-crime with punishment – check
Large groups of people insulted- check
I think Chabad.org has a calendar for this stuff.
I’ve realized why my sense of ethics bothers others.
You should go if you can go. If you can’t then you can’t. But don’t take advantage of your boss’s generosity.
I hate caffeine. Am on it now (got 2.5 hrs of sleep last night and had morning and evening midterms).
Now I won’t be able to sleep. I feel so wired. And my head hurts. And my throat hurts.
WIY: LOL one of my favorite books ever!
Everything my mother makes, I personally don’t suffer at all on Pesach from chometz cravings.
Shouldn’t you be skiing right about now?
Great article, thanks for posting.
I’m glad you got over your self-doubt.
R’ Gershon Bess from Los Angeles put out a list.
I find the actual list pretty useless since almost nothing I or my family members use is on it. It probably covers whatever his wife and daughters are familiar with.
BUT what is incredibly USEFUL is his list of problematic ingredients.
If you know that
triticum vulgare = wheat and
avena sativa = oats and
ethyl alcohol = a problem, you can already put away most of your stuff. Then figure out what the ingredients from the makeup you have left are.
How odd, one of my friends said the same thing, only it’s a she. And I told her I never thought of it like that.
Maybe it’s only people who only read your more famous topics (like the infamous women aren’t Jewish)
Is it chocolate? I’m only interested if it’s chocolate.
Thanks 007. Vogue notice there’s a makeup thread, may have some tips.
Nearly almost but not quite.
13th Ave and somewhere between 44-49th st. there’s a kosher for Pesach makeup store, but I forget the name.
That was very courageous of PBA. Going to the dentist is a very scary thing.
Tell him that in Torah613’s house, he’d be home and expected to pull his weight in Pesach cleaning.
I think it looks like a goat.
It doesn’t quite work like that.
Hi, I’m a 14 year old BY girl from Berkeley, I only eat macrobiotic food. I really want to go to BJJ but I heard that all Israeli seminaries serve a lot of unhealthy food. What seminaries provide macrobiotic (or at least organic) food? Will this be a problem in shidduchim?
I’d rather not know what a meme is.
Inquirerr, are you aware that were all the addresses to be posted on the internet, this could cause the gedolim involved a lot of trouble? The internet is a very public place. It’s like posting their addresses on a billboard.
If you want access to Gedolim, it is safer to ask your Rav or Rosh Yeshiva to help you than to ask on the internet.
Thanks for the bump, OOM!
One of my cousins has pi memorized to 500 digits. Just to prove they could. Pretty useless but a cool party trick.
Nope, we know all our neighbors, and give nearly all mishloach manos.
If you’re a friendly person, and say hello to people any time you’re outside, it’s pretty hard to live somewhere for a couple of years and NOT know your neighbors.
ari-free: You do realize if I come, everyone will have to move up one room…
“Torah613Torah: lol. I don’t remember where that quote is from exactly, but it is a classic Rincewind quote. Basically, Rincewind is this cowardly wizard (“WIZZARD”) who just wants to be left alone, yet keeps getting swept off on these epic adventures to save all of the Disc, etc. So…yeah.”
Oh. It’s a character.
Anyway, some good lines, but how can a book about a universe on the back of a giant turtle really be so interesting? But I will definitely have to read it now next time I’m at friends. 🙂
Come on, wasn’t it a great speech? Even if it wasn’t all that warranted? Monkey think monkey do.
In a day or two, I will be enjoying several cognitively demanding finals spaced by only a few hours. My head is about ready to split from studying.
I thought of writing it and therefore had to write it. If I don’t win the finals, it would never get written, so how can I wait? Since while writing it I can pretend I don’t have 6 hours of homework waiting for me in real life.
*ACCEPTANCE SPEECH*
(applause)
I am so pleased to have placed among the finalists in the MonkeyWriter Post Contest. Receiving this award is such an amazing honor.
(applause)
I feel humbled by the whole experience. I never thought I would win such an honor, let alone on The Yeshiva World Coffee Room, and certainly not from Shnitzy with a -y and not an -el.
Mark Twain said, “To refuse awards is another way of accepting them with more noise than is normal.” Even without a lot of noise, it has been an experience to remember.
(applause)
Thanks to everyone for your moral support, and especially my English teachers, who I managed to ignore most of the time. Thank you all again!
(applause)
(don’t you love it when applause is written into the speech?)
“I’ve seen excitement, and I’ve seen boredom. And boredom was best.”
What does this even mean?
Don’t worry about it, just think about making the person you’re dancing with happy.
I often wait until the 2nd dance so there aren’t that many people around. 🙂
Oblate: I don’t get it. Are you a teacher or a student?
13-14 is a very large load, and almost impossible if you are in a school with a dual curriculum (i.e. Jewish subjects). I took 6 (some of it was self-study – I taught myself and just took the AP. I got credit for 5/6).
If you take only one, take European History, it’s worth 4 credits in most colleges and places you out of really tedious coursework.
IIRC they saved me at least 17 credits, but more importantly, they allowed me to place into higher level Humanities courses (English/History) so I had better professors and learned more.
There is no penalty for doing poorly. What do you have to lose?

Just saved the mods some work…
Sorry the null and Aleph are reversed, haven’t figured out how to fix that.
Sushi is delicious. My mother likes to cook it.
WIY: if we merit it, we will be able to do it.
I’m doing it because I want to, and not because you told me to. 🙂
I have way too many favorite songs to list. Right now it’s Yaleh by Shwekey, Yesh Tikva (although i’m rapidly getting tired of it), and Bernstein’s Candide Overture, which has kind of grown on me lately.
