What is a snort? I’m really curious. I might want to be one. 🙂
Purple: She was his bashert nonetheless. Which goes to show that nothing is ever what it seems in shidduchim; only Hashem knows what is really going on.
yea but thats my problem! That i know now that i am in a mixed college more then ever, how wrong and bad it is and how noooo frum person should be in his setting for ANY reason. What goes on there is horrible and i was even asked out a few times. so anyways my point is that I want a guy who disagrees with going to not jewish colleges, but then im contradicting myself because i am in one…
On the market: That is a problem. It’s not terrible to be asked out, merely uncomfortable, but it doesn’t seem that you want to be the type of person whom one usually finds in that setting.
You can’t realistically ask for something that you really aren’t holding by, so if you are serious about wanting a frummer type of boy, who, were he to ch”v (jk) go to college, would be in a frum one, you probably should switch to a frum college.
In general, a mixed college is a bad place for a girl to be. I don’t know what it’s like for boys, but I find it very difficult. You can’t be too friendly or unfriendly, you have to make sure nothing you say can ever be misunderstood and there are constant challenges.
I don’t ever drink coffee. Cannot understand how people like the stuff.
YWN is the best place you can be online. But you can do tzedaka, ask Aish if they need someone to help. Maybe you should look for another job?
on the market: Dating is a mixed setting by definition. Whoever is destined to marry you will marry you regardless of where you go. Like Popa wisely said, you really can’t try to make your life around the person you imagine will marry you, just do what is best for you now and will help you grow the most where you are.
On the topic, I am pretty sure that LCW in Manhattan is MUCH better than SCAS, I know a lovely person who transferred from SCAS there.
LOL DY, very clever.
OOM, I agree that prion diseases are a fascinating example of seeing halacha in the natural world.
I like Kedem 144. Also Joyvin, Malvasia (both types) and Matuk Kal on Pesach.
When I get married, I want to live in a trailer. Rent is cheap and you can move if you don’t like your neighbors.
I don’t get spam, because it all goes into my spam folder. Unfortunately, lots of regular emails also go into my spam folder, and I have to constantly check it to make sure I don’t miss anything.
Poor boys, missing out on cooking classes!
I hope it rains on the sidewalk and snows on the houses.
I only just got the story.
For those confused – it’s saying that in Telshe, they didn’t wear tzitzis in order not to embarrass people who didn’t have tzitzis. So too, people shouldn’t show off their talents.
That moshol was really whacky.
I feel really guilty now. Maybe I should go make challah. But it takes 4 hours.
Quote from Wikipedia, which incidentally has an excellent article covering this controversy:
In addition to the two documents cited, there are others that confirm the identification of the Genoese Christopher Columbus, son of Domenico, with the admiral of Spain. An act dated 11 October 1496 says:[7]
Giovanni Colombo of Quinto, Matteo Colombo and Amighetto Colombo, brothers of the late Antonio, in full understanding and knowledge that said Giovanni must go to Spain to see M. Christopher Columbus, Admiral of the King of Spain, and that any expenses that said Giovanni must make in order to see said M. Christopher must be paid by all three of the aforementioned brothers, each one to pay a third … and to this they hereby agree.
In a fourth notarial act, drawn in Savona on 8 April 1500, Sebastiano Cuneo, heir by half to his father Corrado, requested that Christopher and Giacomo (called Diego), the sons and heirs of Domenico Colombo, be summoned to court and sentenced to pay the price for two lands located in Legine. This document confirms Christoforo and Diego’s absence from the Republic of Genoa with these exact words: “dicti conventi sunt absentes ultra Pisas et Niciam.”[nb 5]
A fifth notarial act, drawn in Savona on 26 January 1501, is more explicit. A group of Genoese citizens, under oath, said and say, together and separately and in every more valid manner and guise, that the Christopher, Bartholomew and Giacomo Columbus, sons and heirs of the aforementioned Domenico, their father, have for a long time been absent from the city and the jurisdiction of Savona, as well as Pisa and Nice in Provence, and that they reside in the area of Spain, as was and is well known.
Finally, there is a very important sixth document from the notary of Bartolomeo Oddino, drawn in Savona on 30 March 1515. With this notarial act, Leon Pancaldo, the well-known Savonese who would become one of the pilots for Magellan’s voyage, sends his own father-in-law in his place as procurator for Diego Columbus, son of Admiral Christopher Columbus. The document demonstrates how the ties, in part economic, of the discoverer’s family with Savona survived even his death.”
His son wrote: Colombo … was really the name of his ancestors. But he changed it in order to make it conform to the language of the country in which he came to reside and raise a new estate …
I hope that wasn’t too long, and that interested parties read the entire Wikipedia article, it’s extremely well researched.
Exercise regularly. If you don’t get physical exercise, things stress you out more.
Purplicious: Well, we see that she didn’t have zechus avos, as Yitzchak’s tefila was accepted before hers. So coming from a not-so-good family did affect her. Plus, she gave birth to Esav. So at least one of her kids took after her family.
I think the whole of book 7 in Harry Potter is terrible compared to the previous books. I particularly disliked the epilogue.
This is Yeshiva World, please no ‘shipping discussions 🙂
What does this have to do with Telshe and tzitzis? Is it true that they don’t wear tzitzis in Telshe and if so why?
The top hat.
We _check_ to see if he will be a good _mate_.
Truthsharer: No, you won’t. And if you’re smart, the Touro scholarships can make your tuition cheaper in Touro than anywhere else.
I hate muni meters.
What should I do? The goyim want to offer me a Fields medal, but it wouldn’t be tznius to accept in public. My mechaneches says it would be bad for shidduchim, but then I could get a job and support my husband in learning for the rest of my life. Also, my rabbit ate a pickle and now he has an allergic reaction, should I give him benadryl?
On the market: Lander College for Women in Manhattan also has day classes, has an honors program if you’re interested, and has kosher food in the cafeteria, as well as really nice fellow students. It’s only a few minutes extra from Brooklyn once you’re going to 23rd street. I would go to LCW if day classes is your only issue (that was my reason for not going to Flatbush too, and I was very happy with my choice.)
If you tell us your major, I can tell you what the positives and negatives are. I know the Touro system of undergrad pretty well. 🙂
My brother is amazing. In a totally different way than I am.
He had many Jewish friends, but historical evidence indicates that he was unequivocally not Jewish.
He was a very cruel and ruthless person, grew up in a small village of Catholics, and achieved a very high position. The Jew rumors are a recent issue. You can google to read all about the controversy, I researched it very thoroughly at one point. But he was definitely not Jewish.
Onthemarket: Why are you going there? Is it the undergraduate or graduate SCAS division? The undergraduate is a problem in terms of tznius, like any other college. The graduate division, depending on your program, is generally not a problem and no one should question your going there.
I’ve had good experiences visiting classes in SCAS, but the other Jewish people in the class ranged from secular to MO Liberal types.
Never friend.
If I marry a Cohen, and a son of mine tries this excuse, he will get a one-time exemption for coming up with it. b”n of course!
Poor parenting is not the same thing as child abuse.
Why didn’t you say something to the father?
The father’s temper is the issue here. Fortunately it’s a girl, so her mother is hopefully a better davening role model.
At least you can twist the analogy right back at ’em. I did not appreciate my words being twisted there.
Oh brother: Note that in the case your story was not true, I also said “If not, very sad that you need to make up such stories.”
I do not appreciate your using my words to support your point, and frankly your analogy is ridiculous.
Were getting treatment for diabetes to include killing unfortunate Chinese prisoners to get heart transplants, the guy would be forbidden to do so by Jewish law, because it is murder. We cannot transplant other knowledge into our hearts to solve this problem.
WIY: I’m sure it doesn’t.
The question is, what to do when tznius and politeness seem to conflict?
WIY: By everyone, do you include girls? Because I’d be surprised if they responded in BP. There is exactly one man on my block who says Good Shabbos to girls (he’s a mechanech and a real character) and I’m like the only person who responds.
What is your relationship to said person, purplicious?
*mirroronthe wall, sorry
HaKatan: That’s what I don’t get. If a person learns Torah while working, it also affects the atmosphere in the home.
Crazy story. If true, very sad, and I wonder why his family / Rabbi let it happen. If not, very sad that you need to make up such stories.
OOM: Genetics play a role as well.
Nisht, I’ve been on separated buses, none that had minyanim. And the women are in the back on every single one I’ve been on. Except one where the curtain went down the middle.
I think a person should always try to show their best side to their spouse, but be supportive of them and not think about their faults.
Shavua tov everybody! 🙂
These are both derogatory terms that do not reflect a sense of kavod habriyos.
Just be supportive, and don’t keep on telling her how it’s really not necessary. Praise her for being so organized and taking such wonderful care of your home.
Especially if she works, it will make her calmer later on if she feels like she got an early start.
You want a happy wife, she wants a clean house. You can both get what you want!
Confucius – they’re separated by curtains anyway. And the women have to go through the men to get through the back. We are allowed to look at men, wouldn’t it make more sense for them to go through the women?
I only say it to women, but I say it to all women, and wish non-Jewish women a good day.
I will respond if a man wishes me Good Shabbos.
This is not flirting, it’s being polite.
I took a similar bus. If they have to be separated, I still don’t understand why the women aren’t in the front.
I will sometimes give food, rarely cash. The exception is if the person impresses me as someone real, or if I only have a nickel or something, there’s not much you can buy with a nickel.
Doesn’t the girl in question have a job? How can she be home for lunch every day?
I definitely think supper should be eaten together. But that can happen away from kollel as well.
It’s a way of knowing that your husband really loves Torah. I don’t see why Torah can’t be part of a boy’s life if they are working as well, but the truth is that from my experiences in shidduchim, finding boys who are serious about Torah as well as supporting a family is like finding a black grain of sand. They’re definitely out there, but if you decide to marry a kollel boy, it’s a lot easier to find someone who loves Torah.
