Audacity? You mean asking them to slow down?
I have the opposite problem. I wish speakers would speak faster.
Thanks 42, that sounds delicious, I’ll have to try it soon!
Some structure is good. Being ridiculously hung up on every little thing is bad.
Saysme: it is driving me crazy. I know it. where does it come from??
DR: Very few people have that choice. If you value Torah, you will value it no matter what you do.
I think it is best to do something that suits your talents and with which you can contribute to the world. Hashem gives the parnasa.
Who decides the social norms? We do.
Alfalfa sprouts, carrots and random raw veggies. You may want to call a vet to check what your rabbit needs. What breed is it?
DY: thanks. I figured.
She’ll have to google since the links aren’t allowed on this site.
It doesn’t sound like the most sensitive thing the Rabbi could have done, but we don’t know enough of the story to judge anything.
I’m talking about times where there is not much halacha, if any, about it. Like during Kabolas Shabbos.
Also, people need to be aware that there can be conflicting ideals; even when one ideal is clear and the other is nebulous. “Frummer” is not always better. In some (many? most?) situations, it might make more sense to not be medakdek k’chut hasaarah on a minhag tov even if it’s written in hilchos beis hakneses; if it means making people uncomfortable.
Everyone, VM explained himself.
You know what bothers me? When people say Tehilim during Shema and Chazaras Hashatz. I hope this only happens in the ladies’ section.
Love the title!
Neither are you on Facebook, or neither are you divorced?
I agree with your point. It sounds like people show off a lot on Facebook, which can only lead to jealousy in others.
funnybone: Well, you should say please. It makes a kiddush Hashem.
VM, what do you mean by talking in shul? Are you referring to times when it is bedieved permissible?
I know several people who have married boys from Derech Chaim, and are very happy with the guidance and middos there.
Bump. Ferd, thanks for the recipe.
Welcome Shnitzy (great posting btw) and yiddishmeidel!
And, I was never welcomed either. Who wants to rectify that?
haifagirl: I agree.
Purple, what I mean to say is, you don’t know how Hashem is answering your tefilos. Your sister will get married when it is her time, and you will get married in your time. Maybe Hashem is saving your tefilos for the right time! Of course you can ask for whatever you want, but Hashem may say “No” if it wouldn’t be good for you.
Maybe your sister is finishing a degree now and will be more relaxed if she meets the right one in the summer. Maybe her zivug needs to grow a little more to be worthy of her. Your tefilos will help it be good, but you can’t take her not getting engaged yet as a sign that they weren’t answered. Hashem loves every one of your tefilos, and they will all ultimately be answered for the best outcome that will enable everyone to serve Hashem in the best way for them.
I’m not on Facebook and I’m not divorced. Just adding a data point.
My animagus would definitely be something that flies, I love birds and have always wanted to fly.
I haven’t noticed this in my male family members or their friends or our neighbors. Maybe there’s something in the water where you live?
Interesting idea. I suppose you would moderate it, Purple? I shudder to think of reading those posts.
But, it really would invite bad people, so overall ??? ??? ??? ??? ????.
It bothers me when people criticize others in public for private, past, or one-time offenses. Say it bothers you when it happens, then forgive them, then don’t bring it up later.
It is different when there is an ongoing situation, which there isn’t now.
I like it when people say please or thank you.
Sewing. Knowing how to mend your own clothes helps save a lot of money.
For girls, investing in a top quality hair dryer and iron. Saves you lots of money in getting your hair professionally done over the years.
Also for girls, when you buy makeup, only the part that touches your skin (base etc) needs to be top quality. Blush and eye makeup has pretty much no difference with increase in price.
And in addition, for girls, learning how to cook. Just kidding! That goes for everyone.
But I’m still frum anyway, because I’m not a retard and I don’t think that being frum means I think every frum person is not socially awkward and is nice. Nor every frum community–some of them are real jerks, and that is ok.
Great point and well delivered.

I agree that clear communication is very important.
