Wow! I just came back from a job. Not gonna tell you which one.. Exhausting but REALLY rewarding… To make so many people dance, happy, glad.. That true Simcha Shel Mitzvah… something almost similar to what they did in the Bais Hamikdash
Does anyone else here officiate at a Simchas Bais Hashoeva?
(if anyone sees me… flash me that secret CR sign)
I don’t know what my shadow knows. I’m scared of it…
I’m here!!!
Avi, this is a place where people like me, who are scared of their shadow, to come together, to let their voices be heard, to let their talents (huh?) shine. A place to be able to develop…
No, there is NO replacement for an in-depth learning session. But the fact that you feel “empty” some days and want to make it up with “something” is proof that you’re very in touch with your Neshama’s calling. That’s your Neshama’s way of saying he’s hungry for “something”. So of course, when it’s not possible, anything will do, to the best of your ability. And just know that you’ll bezras HaShem, you’ll find time to do it the real way…
count me in, that’s 11,079.5
OOHH!!!! Decades and life spans ago!!!!
(such GOOD OLD times..)
And now I come, again, to humbly beg Mechilla from anyone I may have hurt, angered, caused pain or distress, through any of my remarks. In a setting such as the CR it is often very hard to read into other’s circumstances, matzav, mood or situation. No one here knows if and what another may be suffering from, what makes them tick. His / her nisyonos, wants, cravings urges, indeed – entire makeup. So often a misstep or extra word in the wrong direction really rubs deep. Really deep. And hurtful. Very. (and if Mom wouldn’t be reading this, I’d say I know this from personal experience. Been there. Big time!!)
לעולם יהא אדם זהיר באונאת אשתו, שמתוך שדמעתה מצויה, אונאתה קרובה
Meforshim point out, it’s not only Ishto, it’s anyone in that Matzav. Anyone close to tears. And those tears are powerful… scary… Chazal enumerate some instances where tears were shed…So, in light of the above, I beg each and every one of you, who I have tangled in the past, to please be Mochel me, with a full heart. I already made up, privately, to one I knew I hurt specifically, please too find it in your hearts to forgive.
Mods… care to <Undelete> just for me?!?
So.. RY had you ever a baby that pulled your beard?
‘SCUSE ME!?!?!!
I’m terribly confused. Is RY a male, female or in between? I thought mods somewhere confirmed he was female. Now she writes she’s a male. Is she a male or is he a female?
I once flew a plane. And I am Shomer Shabbos (I think). And I am still looking for a job (that’s why I’m here so much)
No apology needed, I’ve broken many rules…
What I want? All Yidden and Yidenos should be gebentshed with an emese, truly good, sweet year! A bright, zestful beginning, Yeshuos for all. That’s what I want!
ונרננה ונשמחה בכל ימינוGetting married won’t help you with that. No, not in the least!!!!
Tonight’s my xx wedding anniversary, I’m still (unfortunately) helplessly addicted. Don’t get me wrong. I really can get out if I want. I don’t.
Thank you for taking your time to explain it to me
Shopping, I am, now. And I never used two concurrently (only in one instance, where I didn’t want to associate with my comment / question (as per CR rules and regulations).
The reason I changed was because I wanted to start afresh… I’ve learned to tame down…
Exactly. That’s what I’m getting at. So my question is, is that occurrence(s) enough to render the ENTIRE usage as being derived from Chilul Shabbos. Would you say that maybe gas pipes can break, so maybe there’ll be chilul Shabbos there and we can’t use gas? What is the criteria? Is an electric plant a definite need of human intervention (today) so as to render the whole as a product of chilul Shabbos?
How do you know my level of intelligence?!? Just because you can figure it our, doesn’t mean that I could.
No, I was not joking. I just didn’t (and still can’t) understand that someone has to be turning dials 24/7 to keep electricity going. Aren’t we somewhere in the 20th century? And if so, will such a minute (safek) intervention not invalidate the regular electricity use as being from a chilul shabbos?
It’s one the שלש חמורות to pretend to be a mod (read CR user manual)…
So I wonder if I could pretend to be one who is not one (who is one who is not one who is one who is not one who…)
I say “aye”. (anyone heard?)

LF, HGL, TGS, OS, HD, NKOTB, ZK (and one more old one)ZD, I’m still in the dark (intended). Is that the way a generator has to be run, with someone constantly looking to see if it’s turning. Do you think maybe Israel should buy a better generator for their company, one that doesn’t need constant tinkering…
Could someone kindly explain to me what is the difference using a personal, private generator or the main Israeli one? Do you think that the main Israeli generator is TURNED / powered by humans (and Yidden no less)?
Could someone here enlighten (pun intended) me?
No problem of increasing Tznius – in a tznius fashion.
Since I am a Tzaddik of great repute, extremely pious and devout, and nothing bad can be said about me, there should be no חשש of anyone singing my praises…. Humbleness is one of my greatest achievements… Another is my use of time… Seriousness and diligence (intelligence)…
Oh, I see. Where is the reply box?
How do you comment here?
Please believe me, I have no interest in advertising. Actually I’d really, REALLY wish to remain anonymous, TO ALL, so I have no want for anyone’s business here.
I do Chasunas and other Jewish affairs. I have my unique style, which I make it VERY CLEAR at the beginning, It’s basically not really unique, just a lingering relish of the music and style that was. And there is (believe it or not) a discerning clientele that appreciates such music. I will not do any of today’s junk that passes as music (or whatever else they call those exercising / trance sessions in the middle of a wedding!).
And the same goes for the volume of the music. I do have enough machines to make it pleasant, to make it a true simcha, to get people REALLY in the dancing…. but I will not blow out anyone’s ears. I feel it is always more respectful to request the music be made louder, than to request me “to shut up”. I ALWAYS start low and adjust it upwards AS NEEDED, than the other way. During the meal tablemates can converse with one another, having soft music played the way it was intended to be – in the background. During dancing, again, it’s louder, obviously, to be able to give the crowd a “lift”, it’s pretty geshmack (if I may say so), but you won’t go home with your ears ringing.
Overworked Mom:
(hey, wait a minute, the only overworked mom I know is Frogette.. and she certainly does not visit these hallowed walls of the CR (she’s too overworked!)).. (oops.. maybe it’s my mother… na.. since I got married and moved out she resumed breathing)
Take everything slowly, learn the “language” (Shparch). It takes time to get used to, with the time you’ll make friends with the kind of people you care. I didn’t – I jumped in way too fast, did not and could not understand the ins and outs, and ended up getting terribly burned. Um… yes, it hurt…
So generally, if you take it easy, are considerate and care for other’s and their feelings, you’ll have no problem.
בהצלחה!
Yes!!!!
And KEEP IT UP!!!!
I’ve heard a story of a Rabbi who commented about a real troublesome quarrelsome individual: “If he’d live in the woods, he’s fight with the trees”!
So…
Didn’t Yoshko (I think) curse a tree?!?
LB, I don’t mind you mot mentioning me, I haven’t “graced” this place with one of my “specialties” for some time… No, LB, I’m referring to those way before your time here… B”H most of the crowd here have long forgotten… I’ve somewhat “graduated”!!! (did I?) I used to live for this place, in this place 26/6, it doesn’t pull me that much anymore. Maybe it’s the new format (I HATE IT!!), maybe the turnover of “membership” (participantship), or maybe it’s just plain that I matured slightly… I don’t crave for that BIG BANG or SPLASH I used to.
No, I didn’t say or imply I’m leaving in the near future, only that I lost that addiction / craving for the unique camaraderie over here. Who knows, maybe there are real people out there to connect with?!?
Another force pushing me out is the knowledge that everything I write is chewed up (regurgitated and re-chewed) by family members. I’ve long lost my privacy… I cannot really write what I’d like to, nor express my true inner feelings to the world out there… to many relatives know my name (and worse – share my pieces!!). No – creating a new S/N unfortunately won’t fool them (someone please draw a sad faced thingy for me).
😣😣😭
Go ahead, admit it. It’s the lack of subtitles – 29
..”You can’t give birth while working,….”
Isn’t the process called LABOR?!?
I’m afraid that won’t get you too far. Y’know how many people call ask me “can I please speak to your mother (or mommy!)” Gosh!! I’m happily married and moved out a couple of years ago! I can just HEAR them blush when I hand the phone to Frogette!
You want ME?!?!?
No! That was in Besuel’s time. (actually his time was up!)
Yeah, we’re back (don’t say I idn’t warn you)!!! That’s a Mazel Tov to our son who B”H got married in EY.
I’m sorry. I was “OUT OF YESHIVA” for the past two an a half weeks…
Hi. And I hope all is well!
Wonder what “Eclpise” is feeling about all this… assuming she still remembers… (that it for those of us that do remember)
…ASK MY DAUGHTERS!!!
LuL: I’m sorry I didn’t mention you, I think you do live here. I think you’d be a most amazing person for my wife to meet!! (Sorry she doesn’t respond to”Mrs Froggie”)
Anyone here in Eretz Yisroel?!?
C’mon let’s bank out!!!!
MAZEL TOV!!!
RY:
You forgot the one “Ad bli die”I’m slightly confused..
They’re against the draft.. but if I understand Yiddish correctly, the signs say (in BIG BOLD, BLACK AND RED) “WAR”. מלחמה. We should all go out to war.
So.. which way is it?!?
The other half!!
