It happened to me. I was never able to use my old account after I forgot my password. I used the “forgot password” form, and got an email.
In the email, there’s a link to reset the password. Clicked on it, and I either get “Someone will contact you shortly” or “you are not allowed to change your password”. It’s really annoying, and I would have been yuneeq if not for the issue.
I used to joke that his album Lipa Baderech sounds pretty close to Leap Off The Derech. Maybe that’ll be his new album title.

R.T. –Shabbos Mincha; no special nigunnim in Tefila (unlike Lecha Dodi, Kel Adon)
Not in all communities. Sephardim sing both uva letzion and kedusha. So does that mean that we need to wear ties and you don’t?
147: If this is not enough to convince you about how correct Nasi is, take a look at Chassidic circles, where there is no Shidduch crisis, and they marry people in their age group.
Correlation doesn’t imply causation. There can be a dozen factors in the equation of why chassidim don’t have a crisis, while the rest of charedim do. Think about al the people that go off the derech, if it isn’t equal among boys and girls, you’ll have more religious girls than boys. In that case, marrying someone older will just push the problem a couple of years until it catches up.
I’ve seen this in my own community, where the average girl is more religious than the average guy.
TLDR; America ain’t China, figuring out why there is a boy/girl gap isn’t so simple.
Shraga “I’m wondering if Lipa will Ch”V go the way Matisyahu did”
I think lipas amazing musical talent will help keep him on the derech.
Uh oh.
Uncovered elbows at 770*(1/10th of a second) into it.
I agree with Plonis. I think that there are lines that shouldn’t crossed, even to show positive affection. But not all affection should be abolished.
Though, I still have a hard time believing that most Rebbes nowadays would even wanna show affection. I had a rebbi that was somehow LOVED (by many kids), who would commonly grip and pull my ears for not paying attention. My friend even started bleeding once.
Smacks by rebbeim were done out of anger, and were common too.
Shoe Wielding Men.
FTFY.
I’ve seen Menorahs like that many times. Is it normal? Yes.
The mafia/smugglers/drug dealers are the only ones that are keeping it from being legalized. Much like the Prohibition, where the mob/bootleggers only rose to fortune and power through illegal alcohol sales, the drug dealers of today will make sure to bribe and threaten anyone that gets in the way of their business.
In Mexico there’s a war going on where thousands have been killed already, only because the trade is illegal in the US.
Additionally, there is always the “mayim gnuvim yimtaku” psychology. When people have strict rules, they are more likely to do the act than before.
What about caffeine in sodas? It is extracted from coffee and sold to the soda and energy drink companies. That’s why companies LOVE to sell decaf coffee. They make crazy profits by selling each part separately.
On a side note, I heard that caffeine poses a problem on Pesach, because most caffeine is extracted from coffee using an alcohol process.
There are Rabbis that show affection, and then there’s Rabbis that take kids into their office and show affection. I fail to see why a rabbi, even if innocent, isn’t a bonehead for bringing someone into their office when scandals are revealed every other Tuesday.
The biggest losers are the children who have to be taught by a proven brain dead Rebbi.
They say that someone asked the K’tzos why in yeshivos they learn his chiddushim on choshen mishpat and not the nesivos. He answered that when he wrote his chiddushim, the ink in his pen was frozen because it was so cold in his house. The toil he went through was greater in that aspect than the nesivos’, who was rich and never had that issue.
This story shows that a poor person will have greater zchusim for doing the same mitzvah with much more tza’ar, though it doesn’t validate what the OP is implying, that rich people are Reshaim.
Depends on which airline you fly. If you fly ElAl where half the plane is religious, there is NO WAY to daven with a minyan or even stand up to pray without bothering the entire plane.
If you fly Continental (now united) where there is a max of 20-30 religious Jews, they could accommodate you and they do. They put everyone in the back kitchen, everyone fits fine. No one gets disturbed.
95: The OU holds considers ALL gelatin from unkosher sources as 100% treif. The following is from their Daf Hakashrus in June 2012:
“The OU considers gelatin as vadai issur and requires kashering keilim that came in contact with gelatin.”
“Regarding medicines that are encased in hard gelatin capsules, Rav Belsky has said that the minhag is to allow them for a choleh. This is because in this form, the gelatin is not considered edible (?????? ???? ???).
Soft gelatin capsules, which are often used for vitamins, fish oils and over the counter medications, Rav Belsky holds should not be used, because in this form the gelatin is not considered nifsal. Additionally, these soft capsules are often made from pigskin gelatin and are kept soft and pliable with large amounts of glycerin.”

Since nobody objected, I will put into effect the new categories of the 2012 CR Oscar Awards
2) Funniest Poster of 2012
3) Most Popular Poster of 2012
4) Most Yeshivish Poster of 2012
5) Dictator/Mod of the Year
Everyone gets one vote per category, first nominee to get ten votes, WINS!
21) Too many spammers, at least that’s what they told me.
What’s better being a man or a woman?
WIY stands for WIY Is Yeshivish.
CR Oscar Awards of 2012? Anyone in for it?
Last years categories were:
1.Best Thread Title Of 2011 / Best OP Content of 2011
2.Funniest Poster of 2011
3.Least Controversial Poster of 2011
4.Most Courteous Poster of 2011
5.MOST TOLERANT MODERATOR/MOST VIGILANT MODERATOR
I would like to add Most Yeshivish Poster, and I would change #1 to Post of the Year, change #5 to Dictator Of The Year award, voted on ONLY by mods. I would get rid of #3 and #4 because ehh. I also suggest a new rule that whoever gets ten votes first, wins. That will take care of the problem of endless voting and no winners.
SayaMe: “sadly i speak from experience when i say even your email may not be safe from prying eyes…”
But surely it’s safer than leaving a regular diary around, no?
If I saw a diary around, especially nowadays that nobody writes anything manually anymore, I would be so tempted to read it.
I would write my diary online on google drive if I wanted to keep it from prying eyes. That way I would have mine and my friends secrets password protected.
I would like
“just like the rest of us”
or
“but not special”
or
“a different experience every single time”
I think that WIY is a reincarnation of Joseph, trying to pull off the ultimate double troll.
Its as easy as driving a car off a cliff.
When life gives you lemons, create lemons jokes ad nauseum.
No pain, no pain.
Life is a bowl of cherries, school is a bowl of pits.
Oh Popa, it could be much worse than that!
I have to come up with the ideas for a date and she makes the decisions. It turns out that none of my suggestions are appealing to her, so we end up staying home and miserable.
Ooh, how I dream that she would be in charge of the whole process!
nem621:can someone explain what the problem with going out motzei shabat is? is it because boys and girls will be together or the time or what?
Do you care to read the thread before you comment?
Farrocks: Not being thin isn’t bad at all. Many would say it is even very good.
I hate to get ad hominem, but you are so irrational in so many posts here, that it sounds like you are defending yourself.
If you’re fat, we don’t hate you. There’s nothing to rationalize.
I love it how when a girl is fat, she’ll scream bloody murder how life isn’t fair, that all guys are animals, shallow, disgusting, valueless etc. But when you set up that same girl with a bunch of fat guys, instead of being thankful, she will start having a fit about how she only gets set up with fat guys!
Who’s really shallow? Those with the double standards!
To all those claiming that ANYWAYS the size 2 girl will be a size 20 in 20 years:
A man must be attracted to the woman he marries, and not the woman she will be in 20 years from then. The reason is simple. Before you get married, you don’t actually love each other. Without being attracted physically no one would ever get married aside for a couple tzaddikim.
After one gets married, when the real love begins to grow, only then can the husband not care about looks. This is because after he has lived with such an amazing person for years, he grows more attracted to his wife’s internal features; her soul and kindness, and less caring about her looks.
That is the reason why old people aren’t getting divorced by the truckload.
Physical attraction is like a car ignition. The ignition sparks the engine to life and dies out. The engine keeps running on it’s own. Physical attraction is the spark for love. Once the love is running strong, the physical attraction can die out.
farrocks: It’s one thing when a guy is ONLY attracted to a small niche of girls (blonds). It’s a completely different story when a guy is attracted to any type BESIDES for a small percentage of girls (overweight).
Wolf: (Aside from the post that I put up that had the word “Spam” repeated ad nauseum, of course.)
I did the same exact thing!
besalel- My response?
About the chosson- Shtika Ke’Hoda’a.
About you- syag l’chochma shtika.
Ender: I would guess he assumed her screen name included her age.
I don’t believe in this whole shidduch crisis thing. But I’m not an expert and lets say AZ is right. If so, there should be any easy way to solve the whole thing:
Start a kiruv organization that focuses only on boys. Boom! Just like that, the whole imaginary shidduch crisis is solved!
A simple Google search suggest that there are women that do. And there are stores as well that sell green lipstick, which presumably is for women that use it. Additionally, lipstick is a woman-only product, it’s assur even if most women don’t wear it.
Would you be able to wear a pink skirt if most women think it’s out of style?

let me first read the following…

First, you spammed and killed the other thread. Second, you think that we’ll read through your 15,000 word article that you copy and pasted, because somewhere 12,00 words into it, you made a point that is related to here.
A man wearing permanent lipstick permanently transgresses ?? ???? ??? ??? ????.
ASSUR!!
My Shadchan was very good. He set me up along with billions of others. Maybe, one day, we will convince others to focus mainly on only His (free) services…

Why is so difficult for some to understand that in general a woman therapist is far from the best option? I will be so brash to say that anyone who was successfully “treated” by a therapist, enjoyed a good relationship with the therapist. Is that part of the issur of Maran, yichud or not? IMO, yes.
Can there be someone so corrupt that the positives of treatment by a woman will outweigh the negatives of being oiver on a Issur? Yes, but as a blanket rule, it is assur until permitted.
interjection; No I did not contradict myself, though I do see how you think that. I am was referring to the in-laws that love their money so much that they are willing to become unkind and stingy to their own family. While kids don’t deserve money, it shows you how nice the in laws are that they wouldn’t even give a cheap gift.
I understand your point of Ahavas Yisroel. Though I never said that she should hate her in laws. I think she shouldn’t hang around bad people. They should avoid them as much as possible if they would like to raise the kids with normal Jewish values of what family and kindness is.
There’s enough Jews in this world to spend our time loving without having to hate anyone else. You don’t have to spend that precious time loving Jews who will hurt you in return.
Also, in my mind, the farther the distance, the more likely there will be peace. I think that the anger growing inside will eventually erupt into a much greater fiasco if not dealt with right away.
