you get to bentch/daven with a minyan! although the father and 9 kids are enough, ehr iz der tzenter.
it’s the new awareness campaign for pedestrian by new york city’s mayor, promoting ‘awareness of where you are walking’, subconsciously training new yorkers not to step on other people’s feet.
i don’t know about you all, but don’t you think it’s funny that the media is all over these missing manhole covers, yet they totally ignore the big picture, such as the fact that there are four mutant turtles running loose invading all those nyc pizza shops!?!
mazel tov baalhabooze!! you should have lots of yidishe nachas and your new yingel should be zoiche to go to his bris b’ito, u’bizmano in good health.
i hope the speakers/gedolim are reading this thread! ?
my grandmother used to put in those long hot dogs(in slices) which i used to love. I did not like to eat the egg that she would put in the chulent though. ew!
also to include a printed schedule for shabbos indicating times for candle lighting in your city, davening times, zman krias shema, when and where the seudos will take place, etc.
excuse my ignorance and intolerable curiousity, but…what is a goq?

more than 1 answer:
1. what’s round on the ends and high in the middle?
2. what’s black when clean, and white when dirty?
3. what’s blue and not heavy?
it’s all about budgeting! lol!
besides, i got a good deal….
Be Happy – that’s why i read mishpachah junior! 😉
Health- it was not PROMOTING alcoholism. It was simply giving us a glimpse from a yeshiva bochur’s perspective and view on their drinking habits. i personally didn’t AGREE to his assessment, but i feel it was written in a fair and understandable approach. but i wouldn’t call it an article promoting it. i would perhaps call it ‘debunking the myth that yeshiva boys are drunks’
lol baalhabooze,
i think it will be a nice asifa but i do think it is late in coming. because although they shouted and warned us about the dangers of internet over the years, i think the proper chinuch abilities by many parents were lacking and people underestimated their kids’ weakness vs the powerful yeitzer hara. i bet more than 90% of parents first said ‘not MY kid’ before they went otd. i feel THAT is what should be addressed among other topics.
boiled up water for my coffee, went to read more posts in the cr, when i remembered about the water it had all but evaporated 😮
i read the mishpachah every week. though i feel mishpachah magazine used to have awesome articals week after week when it first came out. now it is good but not great.
betwixt, delicious, ecstacy, voluminous
what is the significance of the ‘seventh’ daughter, as opposed to the other daughters, that there is a special name specifically for her (what about Bas Sheysh for the sixth or Bas Chameish for the fifth daughter, etc.)?
i spoke once by a siyum i made. i said i have a special connection to adar.
Alef- Eirusin (i got married in Adar)
Daled- Dirah (i moved into my new house in Adar), and
Reish-one day in the near future iy”h i’ll be a rosh yeshiva
:p
i am from hungary, budapest, and i presently reside in toronto, canada.
mazel tov, always here. may you have lots of yiddish nachas from all your grandchildren.
supergirl613 – mazel tov!! (considered changing your sn to superaunt613 yet?)
i agree with The Chassidishe Gatesheader. speak to someone you know on the school board, or even a parent of the students.
my cousin dressed up completely backwards (venahapuch hu?) one year. everything from pants, shirt, tie, jacket, hat, everything was put on backwards.
last year i was an french artist: french burrette, thin, long mustache, a small paint pallette attached to my wrist, long paint brush sticking out of my shirt pocket.
hey No One Mourns The Wicked, welcome.
you say you’ve been following the cr for 2 years. which posters do you find yourself reading more than others, or can relate to anyone of us in particular?
the greatest mekubal in the Arizal’s times was the Rema”k, R’ Moshe Kordevero zt”l. when he was niftar, the Arizal became the undisputed greatest mekubal of his generation.
the Arizal lived in Tzefat for the latter part of his short life, together with the greatest of greats, including the Alshich hakodosh, the Beis Yosef, the Chareidim, R’ Chaim Vital, among others. The Arizal was so great and so seeped in learning torah, his soul would join the yeshivah shel maalah when he slept. he would learn on one night what would normally take years worth of learning to accomplish when awake. That is the greatness of his talmid R’ Chaim Vital who able to transcribe the lofty, endless teachings of the Arizal.
please add me as well
thx!
yehuda tzvi, i find it so incredible that not only do you feel this way -grateful and so full of love to Hashem- after so many nisyonot, but that you take the time to post it here. you really give me chizuk, and i admire your beautiful approach to life and your lot. you are optimistic, share a closeness to Hashem, and fight your challenges in life with a superhuman effort; factors which are so impressive i wish i would be on such a high level
littleapple – thank you, i was trying to remember the story this article reminded me of. That story of the chofetz chaim proves how difficult and unacceptable it is to do such a thing.
nitpicker – now you got me curious…..
a shame he was put down like that. he was such an integral part of the cr when he was around. please ayc do what you feel in your heart is best, you are very missed here
oh, boozer! lol!
why is the sky blue? how does an airplane work? and how did the europeans steal our snow? (agav, did al gore see the ‘global warming’ issues in europe?)
i beleive if one flaunts his wealth or good looks or whatever one has going good for them, that’s when one must worry about ayin hora.
showing off brings on a”h.
but if one is wealthy or strong or bright, but CONCEALS his good fortune MODESTLY, then a”h does not affect him.
i have gained from other’s opinions and perspectives on certain issues i would have been close minded to. i enjoy other posters’ humor, witty comments, wisdom, and even shtus even if i don’t agree. i respect everyone’s opinions (unless it is keneged the torah) and posts, and come here ffor a good kosher coffee break.
u have to know your kid’s nature and it’s a good idea to know what activity they can BENEFIT from whilst having enjoyment and amusement. i use to take my kids to play sports, karate, even swimming -which they liked very much. but i then recognized that they are more arts-oriented and enjoy creativity in creating/building/painting something, My son now is a web designer, and my daughter teaches in music, and dance.
“The same argument as yours can be (and has been) made for amalgamation/miscegeny. Without the Torah as a guide, there is no reason why anything should be prohibited between consenting adults.”
GAW- you are SO wrong. (up until this recent generation which reached a new low) this was wrong- even in goyim’s eyes- for centuries and centuries, and millenias! why? why do you think they thought it is wrong? they didn’t have the torah as a guideline? the answer is that there is a certain innate moral and ethical behaviour in mankind that dictates right and wrong. How can you say NOTHING should be prohibited between conscenting adults, such as this blatant, perverted, unnatural act?

Gatesheader: “I would even go as far as to say that, that being considered, I don’t even oppose gay marriage. Again: freedom. If they want to do that, let them. Why should I care? Why should I force my views on others? I just don’t care, and I don’t see the problem. I really don’t understand why Americans care so much about this issue in New York at the moment either – what does it matter? Why does it bother you? Let them be happy… it’s their issue, not yours.”
are you serious?! talk about how jews get complacent in this comfortable golus….i mean, how tolerant are you?? do you not have any shame, to just let gay marriage be a part of your society and not care if it’s open?? I don’t know….do you think it’s cool to be so tolerant, or that it’s fine to be so ‘open -minded about other people’s way of life? I know one thing – that is NOT the attitude of a torah jew, i don’t care if you ARE living in a christian country, and that THEY don’t care what YOU do! if a goy does something so abhorrent and abnormal, and yes gay marriage is just that-abnormal, it should NOT be tolerated and implemented in our society. Foooy! Yuuuuch! How can you even suggest that it doesn’t bother you! would you not be bothered by people marrying animals?! Why would you even want to LIVE, and raise your yiddisheh children, and be surrounded by such evil, such tumoh, such sin! it boggles the mind. you obviously have become so callous and insensitive to sin (and yes it is a sin even for goyim)and have no shame not to be bothered at the decadent ways of your neighbors living next door to you. Would you tolerate a goy spraying poison in the air that would C”V blind you? I will stop only because my post is too long.
it is very possible for a couple to have fertility issues even after having children. however because this is a very sensitive and difficult topic for just anybody to comment on, please go to ATIME or a forum specifically for these issues where you will get better advice, suggestions and tips in a professional and more helpful manner. with wishes for lots of brocha and hatzlocho to your family.
thank you WIY. if everyone takes that on, it really would be a special state of the jewnion next year. i think that was a nice inspirational tip. it is easy and a great investment. thank you again.
1) ??
2) none, they all burn shorter

the greatest nechama is that G-d is still in control.
i dated a girl who i loved more than any other girl. she was in my eyes perfect. When the shadchan said that she didn’t want to continue i was very confused and hurt. everything went so nice. why did she reject me? i knew i had to go on with my life but i couldn’t get her out of my mind.
a year later we went out again, got engaged and are happily married now with kids b”h.
i don’t want to get your hopes up, but the bottom line is Hashem gave me my bashert in its proper time, and not a year earlier.
there’s one for everyone out there and yours will come your way too. May Hashem send your bashert quickly and we should hear only simcha from u b’itto, U’vizmano.
there are 3 catagories of dreams:
1) Dreams are messages from Heaven
2) Dreams are utterly meaningless
3) Dreams will follow interpretations
Of what purpose is it to dream? Perhaps it is the bastion of the capacity of the human condition to yearn and imagine new heights, to portend our capacities for achievements, for they are apparently limitless. The more one imagines, the more he tries, and nothing stands before the will of a person!
hope this helps….sorry so long 🙂
zeeskite: these are the times you wish it really rained meatballs and spaghetti…
i had a dart board in yeshiva that said “osur medi’orayso, osur midi’rabonon, osur lechatchilo, mutter bedieved. muttar lechatchilo was the bulls-eye.
….sooo, what do say about those Rangers, huh?……….(*cricket, cricket*)
where are they?? I miss them too.
3 guesses for me:
1) balhabooz is probably just sleeping off his last barrel.
2) middlepath and shticky are out hunting for amyisroelchai
3) 649 doesn’t change you, except…

ZeesKite:
not to hijack this thread, but here are some answers to your q.
According to some ancient sources, the name Moshe (or Moses) comes from the Egyptian mo (water) and uses (drawn from) (Josephus, Antiquities 2:9:6, Contra Apion 1:31; Philo De Vita Moses 2:17; Malbim).
“bore”
(See Shmuel 2 22:17, Tehillim 18:12; note on Bereishis 47:11.)
there are six Hebrew letters which have hard and soft forms: Beth-Veth, Gimel, Daleth, Kaph-Chaph, Pay-Fay, Tauv-Thauv.
the rules governing this are extremely technical. But here is a rough rule: If the word Pharoh BEGINS a new sentence or clause then it is pronounced hard (P vs F).
However if Pharoh is a middle or end word in a clause AND ALSO it follows an open syllable (like a word ending in Aleph Hey Vav Yud) then the Pay is pronounced softly (F vs P). The purpose of the soft pronunciation is to facilitate slurring the words of the phrase into one unit (to emphasize the clause as a unit).
this is no doubt my weakest area in yiddishkeit as i too sorely lacked guidance into how to come up with a solution to a halachiq quandary. i obviously would seek out help from my rav first, but when he is unavailable, or im in a rush, i usually would peek into a mishna berura and see what he holds.
otherwise, is it just a big game of ‘who gives the best psaq din’?
