Torah613TorahParticipant
I like Israeli pickles best, the ones that come in cans that say Galil on them. I see that I have very sophisticated tastes!
Torah613TorahParticipantThanks OOM.
Lots of great suggestions here! Thank you all!
Torah613TorahParticipantYserbius: I was joking! You don’t need to be oiver sinas chinam for me. Sorry for offending you or other out of towners, I just figured that the topic was obviously aimed at New Yorkers. I am sure your Rabbonim are great people and carefully checked out the situation.
Torah613TorahParticipantSaying “you’re mental” is an insult too. You just can’t win. 🙂
Torah613TorahParticipantThe first page of posts in this thread shows that you are trolling us. Look, you respond to every single response reiterating your point.
It’s funny because you said earlier that you didn’t intend to spell out the word troll when writing your name.
Anyway, entertaining topic.
Torah613TorahParticipantThank you, BP27
Torah613TorahParticipantYserbius: Yes, well, I go by rov people are on the East Coast, and I bet that if you had as many talmidei chachamim as we have in Brooklyn, they would have found something in your water by now.
WIY: I actually liked it fine copepod flavored. If there ever were copepods. The problem with filters is you can taste the filter (if you use cotton like we do).
Torah613TorahParticipantari-free: The expression is, “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth”.
Troll, thou art aptly named.
Torah613TorahParticipantThanks everyone for your responses.
Torah613TorahParticipantPartners for Torah has a great book for teaching Hebrew reading.
Torah613TorahParticipantGo to an audiologist?
Torah613TorahParticipantDY: It’s actually easier for me to focus on the subway. I always joke that Hashem gives me a long commute because He wants me to daven for a long time. 🙂
Torah613TorahParticipantWhy am I here? Because I like it here!
YWN CR is a place where I can use my native Yeshivish rather than speaking pure English; where I don’t have to google every other reference and then regret it; where I can use the internet and still be frum, and other reasons.
For intellectual stimulation there are my academic peers, for spiritual aspirations there are my Bais Yaakov friends, for support I have family and close friends and mentors.
But when it comes to the intersection of dealing with being frum in the outside world – the CR comes closest to a place where I can talk about both, and there are others in the same boat.
And that is my serious answer to your somewhat serious question.
Torah613TorahParticipantlol Squeak, I enjoyed your point about celebrities.
Torah613TorahParticipantA mamin: Thank you very much!
twisted: How much do new mezuzos cost?
Torah613TorahParticipantEsther Hamalka. I hope you can’t figure out who I am from this!
February 27, 2013 2:56 pm at 2:56 pm in reply to: Utterly disgusted with the throw up stains on sidewalks! #933233Torah613TorahParticipantHow do you know it was all Jews being sick. Sorry but I take public transportation and see worse than that all the time.
Torah613TorahParticipantkfb: Why does it bother you? Sounds unlikely to me, but good for him. Maybe he got another degree in the meantime, so he wasn’t going straight from Yeshiva to Harvard.
Torah613TorahParticipantWho drank you?
Torah613TorahParticipantPurple, I don’t know if you can tell Hashem how to answer your tefillos.
Torah613TorahParticipantI’m going to answer the OP once and for all.
Most of us girls cover our legs because it is more tznius, and we want to be tznius, and we learned in school we should, and most of our friends do.
I personally wear tights because I like them better than socks.
February 27, 2013 1:07 am at 1:07 am in reply to: The Plane Over Washington Cemetery in Google Maps Satellite View #933144Torah613TorahParticipantInteresting! They probably put it there as proof to stop people copying it without permission.
Torah613TorahParticipantPopa and WIY, so you weren’t inviting women in this thread? I am offended on behalf of half of humankind.
Torah613TorahParticipantI agree with TPO. Home-made food is usually much more delicious than the others. And financially it makes more sense too. Just please label it Yoshon or it goes to our non-Jewish neighbors and friends.
Torah613TorahParticipantWhy don’t you invite her along? It’s really mean to go on your own.
Torah613TorahParticipantWhat’s wrong with Russian opera? As long as you don’t understand the words…
Torah613TorahParticipantShuli: Me too. I also have a mechitza problem. It’s horrible being in shuls where you can totally see the men and they see you, and you feel like they’re checking you out during davening. Also, then you have to stand during krias haTorah, and your feet get really tired, I don’t know how the men do it.
(Just kidding!!)
Torah613TorahParticipantMods, it’s been great lately. Thank you.
Torah613TorahParticipantLuna, google it.
Looking back, I should have gotten a GED in 8th grade and gone straight to college. It would have saved a lot of time.
Torah613TorahParticipantI ate the 2 lunch shalach monos we got today. Yum yum yummy. As long as you label your home-cooked food Yoshon, we’re golden.
Torah613TorahParticipantSaysme, you didn’t do pba’s suggestion.
I go help out my neighbors with little kids when I need a pick-me-up. It never fails. 🙂
Torah613TorahParticipantShhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhluuuuuuuuuuuuffffffffffyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
Torah613TorahParticipantSnowbunny, what did you do before you got to the CR for our wise advice?
Personally, it’s just not your problem. 1, it’s your cousin. 2, he has choices. 3, he’s 30 years old. It’s his problem.
In my humble opinion, your relationship should not deal with it, whether to condemn or condone.
If he behaves inappropriately, that’s another story and you should just avoid him at those times, or, tell him he can’t speak to you like that. Spray him with mace or pepper spray if he treats you badly, that should get through to him. But getting worried about his alcoholism is just not your concern.
Torah613TorahParticipantI like R.T.’s explanation.
Good question, whoever started this topic.
February 25, 2013 2:31 am at 2:31 am in reply to: What You Can Eat in a Non-Kosher Dairy Kitchen #932281Torah613TorahParticipantWIY: Maybe it would go under “lifnei iver” but I actually did not learn that about not crossing during don’t walk on Shabbos in school either.
Halacha education consists of hilchos bishul, shmiras Halashon and kibud av vaeim, and random halachos related to the Yomim Tovim. And we were taught halacha almost exclusively from the kitzur, besides for what the teacher asked her husband.
So to some extent, I do blame the systemic education for my need to find out what questions to ask, although I understand they are not educating for people to go michutz lamachane.
Torah613TorahParticipantIf you interact with girls a lot, what WIY said was funny because plenty are happy to fast before Purim.
And I didn’t fast, I can’t fast and work.
Torah613TorahParticipantPurple, if you have a teacher, why don’t you ask her what to learn next? Why ask her father?
Torah613TorahParticipantDaasYochid: LOL I guess I went a little too far to ensure my anonymity. I usually say “male family members” or “siblings” to disguise gender/type 🙂
Torah613TorahParticipantThanks Oomis, and I wish the same to everyone. Especially Popa bar Abba, don’t ruin too many of your brain cells, we enjoy your posts too much and will miss them. 🙂
My male siblings assure us that they will be “fine” and definitely won’t be doing anything risky during the many hours they are out. Let’s hope!
Torah613TorahParticipantMaybe Hashem is sending you a message that things are good, even if they seem bad.
Torah613TorahParticipantWIY: FYI, there’s going to be a 6:30 AM Megila reading at Emunas Yisrael. I’m going to try to make it. But I can’t sit through an Emunas shacharis so will hopefully catch a davening elsewhere. Anywhere else that starts at 7:30?
(It’s too long! How does anyone have the patience?! It’s 4+ hours only on Shabbos! And 2 hours during the week. I daven elsewhere than every so often come to Emunas for the singing parts. 🙂 )
February 22, 2013 7:23 pm at 7:23 pm in reply to: Things that are ok to say in Hebrew but not in English #996159Torah613TorahParticipantWIY: I’d rather be too humble than too arrogant.
February 22, 2013 7:22 pm at 7:22 pm in reply to: What You Can Eat in a Non-Kosher Dairy Kitchen #932262Torah613TorahParticipantZahavasdad, BH I get along with everyone, am extremely well liked to the point I have to ensure it doesn’t go too far. Where in my story would you get the idea that I have trouble dealing with people who are not Jewish, not frum, not interested in the opposite gender, etc.
Torah613TorahParticipantThat will be very helpful.
Torah613TorahParticipantThanks WIY.
February 22, 2013 6:35 pm at 6:35 pm in reply to: Things that are ok to say in Hebrew but not in English #996156Torah613TorahParticipantWIY: You’re right. 🙂 Good point. Thank you for pointing it out.
Torah613TorahParticipantWIY: So you’re saying that 40 and 4 are all the same number when it comes to this type of thing?
February 22, 2013 6:30 pm at 6:30 pm in reply to: What You Can Eat in a Non-Kosher Dairy Kitchen #932258Torah613TorahParticipantThe first time I went to work in a non-Jewish place, someone asked me to give someone Jewish a meal that involved pork. (it was fully wrapped and I did not know what was in it, it was a hold it until they come type of situation.) I was about to agree when a Catholic person said, “I thought you’re not allowed to do that!” So I called my father who told me I can’t. Why they did not teach that you can’t bring non-kosher food to a Jewish person in HS, in between Hilchos Shabbos, Tznius, and basar v’chalav, I do not know.
RD: This thread is not for psak, more for letting me be aware of what’s out there. Besides, it seems to me that you are more Modern Orthodox than Orthodox in your halachic ideas, and I would appreciate your not confusing people.
Torah613TorahParticipantI’m just imagining if I started a thread about every single yeshiva I have been redt boys from… isn’t this what research is for?
Torah613TorahParticipantlol OOM
