RebYidd: Who said intentions are ALL that count? The point is good intentions, machshava tova, referring to mitzvos not the evil of the terrorists.
Thanks geordie613.

Mik5: Re Mayim achronim, I am familiar with the Gra’s shita. The mesora among Chasidim is that a small amount of water is sufficient.
The point is that before criticizing find out if there other shitos out there.
Mik5: Re Tefillin below the hairline. I am aware of the Mishna Brura’s psak, however I also heard of a psak from a Rav in Pinsk (I can find out the name if you want) who held that rubo kekulo applies here and if most of the shel rosh is above the hairline he is yotze.

The truth about teeth and how we can heal them without dentists (who by the way are technically teeth surgeons) can be found in Cure Tooth Decay by Ramiel Nagel.
I warn you to be prepared to change your whole thought process regarding teeth.
Why the bump? Is the superbowl coming up?
That’s what you get for involving the mods in a game!
This is a game after all so we can set our own rules.
Therefore I hereby declare an unrecognized country invalid unless it is an inhabited region and known by that name. At this point in time I don’t believe Liberland qualifies.

One issue not mentioned, is if one is looking for the unparalleled benefits of fermented fish-cod liver oil. As far as I know there is no such product available with a hechsher. The only option would be to use the capsules and rely on some combination of heterim.

otbochur; You’re supposed to respond to the first name on a post, not the country.

Queen; I had to google that, that’s not a place (city state etc.), come on!
Nevada
Zanzibar, Tanzania, Africa
Looks like we got lost here. The Queen; not sure who you’re responding to. oyvey; you’re not supposed to reuse names. Although we are not so strict about that rule because this is the sixth page of this thread, Yongzhou was just used 1 day ago. We have to have some minimum standards here. So if it’s on the same page, then let’s not repeat please.
Quacky; you say ukelele exists, as a place or as an instrument?
I am responding to Quacky.

Earlier today there was a response to the Rechnitz speech in the YW mailbag. I can’t find it now. Anyone know to whither it vanished?
The only appropriate entertainment would be a professional Badchan. Otherwise or in addition “make sure” the speakers are well prepared and not too boring. Warn all speakers to not start off their speech apologizing how unprepared or unqualified they are, because if they are then they shouldn’t be speaking. If they insist on speaking nonetheless and actually proclaim those silly disclaimers then they have just signaled most people to tune out.
Mazel Tov!
Quacky; Are you sure that’s not from the song “Noida Noida Noida, Noida Noida Noida, Noida Leshimcha Besoch Emunay, Bruchim Atem Lashem”?
Also I expected one of “yooz” guys to call me out on it. Come on nobody here heard of a ukelele?
Ames, Iowa
OK I see we have an issue here. My satirical posting of the non-existent Ukelele, Hawaii went totally unnoticed.
Any suggestions from the esteemed members of the geography board?
If we are going to just continue where we’re holding then I’ll post:
Zaire, Africa
Ukelele, Hawaii
Yonkers, NY
Neve Dekalim (Aza, Israel)
or if that’s disqualified due do it being destroyed,
New Milford (Bergen County, NJ)
Ilwaco, (Washington, US)
How did this go unnoticed for 2 years?
from The Little I Know: “In Skver, the minhag is that the “chosson’s” father does NOT attend the aufruf at all.”
I highly doubt that’s true! Why would the chosson’s father not attend?

Salt Lake City? What size kehila is that? Is there a day school?

There was a Rav Karelenstein from Eretz Yisroel who used to say Vaadim occasionally in the Mirrer Yeshiva in Brooklyn in the late 80’s or early 90’s. Does anyone know what his first name was?

Not sure where you live, but in Flatbush I know there are vibrant sephardic chareidi kehilot and yeshibot. I used to tsulee frequently in the sephardic/edot hamizrach kenesiyot when I was in yeshiva there and I enjoyed the havara and nusach. I miss it now that i live in an entirely ahkenaz community.
No you cannot make up your own rules.
The rules are; respond with a city, state, country etc. beginning with the last letter of the previous post. Officially your’e not supposed to repeat but since this thread is so long it’s difficult to ensure that
