Mod.. No, don’t embarrass her (him?).
Make it “Tate ich dank dir..”
This is Yeshiva world, not the internet.
How else could they post pictures of the Bochurim’s Asifa AGAINST internet?
“Let’s end the wedding madness”
Actually the Gemarah says such a thing
??? ??? ?????? ?? ????? ??? ???? ??? ??????? ????, ????? ???? ?? ????? ????? ??? ????? …
Speaking from a practical, mentchliche angle, there is purpose for neighbors and acquaintances participating. It’s showing that YOU make a difference to them, you exist. Even a cordial Mazel Tov, a couple of minutes suffice, but it makes a difference. After a simchah one dose recall who attended, it does stick out, it does make a difference.
Funny thing, just today I recieved a wedding invitation envelope, WITHOUT THE INVITATION!!! Hey what does that mean? You’re uninvited?!?
Speak about controlling… How I just WISH Frogette would learn how to drive. I’d get about two extra hours a day (for posting)…
… it takes two years.. eventually they “chap”..
Yeah, ask the OP
Yeah… could be… definitely maybe…
ps ?? ??? ??? ????? ?? ???? ?? ???? ????? ????????
How should I know?
bigben2 – That’s exactly what I was referring to!!!
How could you learn Daf Yom Kesuvos a week ago? They were on to Nedarim.
Oh, according to some Rishonim (IN NEDARIM!!) it’s a good idea to follow throuugh in your case, or have real Hataras Nedarim.
I croak therefore I am.
Yeah, I thank them too. It’s been a long time since they deleted any<<DELETED>>
“What happens in coffee room stays in coffee room”
So NOT true.
First of all, every time something here “happens” to me, or about me, I get calls from my family (in r.l. – yeah there’s life in r.l. too), and no, sometimes it’s not pretty..
Second of all, the mood and state of mind effected by comments, either for good or bad, linger long after one leaves. An uplifting, kind, good-hearted word extended to anyone lifts, brightens and soothes, the feeling lingers on. Same for the opposite.
Thirdly, I heard the Country Yossi takes “The Best of the CoffeeRoom ™ into their publication. (and no, I hardly think I ever graced it in)
Quick… pick a topic from one to ten..
Yep. So said the holy Chofetz Chaim. (btw I saw him..)
We once made a Simcha in our house… We had a BIG sign over the worst wall “???? ???? ????? ???? ?? ?????”, we meant it literally. (the rest of the walls were also strategically “decorated” to conceal what was not meant to be seen)
?????
You have to judge them favorably. They meant to do worse.
Amein!!!
Leave it to you, Oomis. You always know how to turn a gloomy, uchy, morbid conversation cheery…
One should not poke fun c”v at the Torah. Every letter, tag has innumerable lessons, derushim, remazim etc. In fact there’s an important lesson why the Torah goes here at great lengths to specify each, seemingly identical, Nasi’s offering.
We’ve had these discussions, time and again. I’m not refering to the Amidah, rather to the rest. And one does NOT remain still when davening the Amidah too. (Which Halacha states to remain still???)
As to your pet peeve, maybe one should not look around while in middle of davening… it won’t distract you if you’re not looking…
One of my pet peeves is the ridiculous habit of people to look around during Davening, to get peeved at someone else doing ridiculous movements.
While clapping I agree with you is clearly a nuisance to the tzibur, I’ve heard of seforim (not seen, just heard) condoning the movements some make during Davening. They say it’s someone’s last attempt to be mechaven, to pray in earnest with concentration, like the movements one would make in midst of drowning, trying to grab on to anything… Nothing to poke fun at.. Especially if the ones peeved do not Daven properly…
But the main part of my post was the rest of Davening, while singing the praises of HaShem, extolling Him, thanking Him for all His goodnesses, it ought to be with “chius”, a “bren”, enthusiastic outpouring of the heart… Read what Rabbi Miller ??”? writes and says, I don’t make things up (generally).
ZD:
Not quite. And proof that you can tell left from right, is the fact that you brought it up. I’m ‘talking’ about an earnest outpouring of one’s emotions, feeling, feeling truly ecstatic about HaShem. Enthusiasm backed by sechel, a combined mixture of the two.
Not anything these seem to portray. The moment one sees these Na Na’ signs / slogans/ graffiti , one knows the truth…
Do I have to say a passuk for all my screen names?
Thank you, american_yerushalmi. I’ve grown tired of counter posting sechel every time these comments (from the same posters) pop up.
(DY – you started it!!)
Bumped for the sake of our suffering brothers and sisters in the holy land.
If you’d have read my remark properly, you would have found the “I didn’t imply to be inconsiderate”. Of course I’m not implying in any shape or form to step on another’s toes, to awaken another, or etc.
Just the idea that as Jews we ought to be quiet, solemn, calm, sober, dull… No. We’re allowed and actually enjoined to sing and dance emotionally and enthusiastically about HaShem, His Torah. We’re into a LIVE religion. Exactly like what David Hamelech told Michal, when she complained that he was embarrassing himself for going too wild. (Michal was punished for having spoken thus to David). Was David rude? Did he wake anyone up? No. He was wild and loud. And he was commended for that.
When we Daven, we shukel (shake), as opposed to the ‘neighbors’ who stand (or sit or kneel – don’t know – never been there to any ‘minyan’) still, composed, unmoving, motionless… Because we have a live Neshamah in us, and we’re connecting to our LIVE GOD!!!
I didn’t imply to be inconsiderate, just to allow one to express oneself… y’know..
If your hometown team won the world series, would you tell them to celebrate somberly, quietly, pleasantly… softly with grace.. sure! When excitement is in the air it takes on a life of its own.. Yidden have HaShem and His Torah to be excited about.. ???? ?? ???.. ???? ?? ????? ???.. ???? ??’ ?? ???..
That’s what Rabbi Miller ??”? writes; a person is discerned by what he gets excited over. We go wild with enthusiasm for HaShem and His Torah, His Mitzvohs, others get excited over the world series, a sensation, a new singer, actor etc.
I was in the hospital many moons ago, together with my brother. We were both in an accident, I was knocked out cold for four days (try to imagine Froggie quiet for four days). My borther was more or less OK, under observation, some concern about his feet. Boy did they mix us up!! Constantly!!
Some time ago I was at a specialist (maybe more details some other time) where he dozed off in middle of examining me. When he roused himself, he continued from his papers, without another glance at me, asking me some female issues… Whoops..
Yeah, I know. Perhaps they were just carried away, totally swept away with the spirit of the day – the receiving of the Torah. Perhaps as enthusiastic as the original heroes of old – those who went wild over it – ???? ?????.
Our religion, as in contrast to those others, is a LIVE RELIGION, with a live God, ????? ????. We do things besimcha, with joy and enthusiasm, and indeed, sometimes step out of “line”. It’s OK, if meant in earnest, for Avodas HaShem.
Oh yeah, sure. I’m also looking for their number. I’d like the keys to the place for a day… Like ‘Make a dream come true… be a Mod for a day…’
A lot did…
Froggies too?
How am I supposed to know. I thought maybe it’s a Hebrew or Aramic thingy. The only thing I did was about the ‘know’.
I hope he writes me a VALID ??? ?????, after all isn’t he ???? ?????
Time (ok, no time) for this one again…
what’s a vakid ??? ??????
I’ll make one for you right here:

OH YES!!
“YiddishKite” has been pretty quite lately. Things are gonna change when (if) I get another car, featuring a working horn. BEWARE!! (honk) REVENGE!!!! (beep)
I have the same problem with drivers stopped in front of me at a red, so engrossed in their little toys not to have noticed the signal changed. Recall that I have no horn (gasp!!), I have no choice but to wait patiently (that’s a new concept I learned – since owning my car!!!), until the guy in front realizes (two greens later), or someone comes in back, makes a racket and frees me.
I happened to overhear a conversation between Sir Columbus and his sailors, thanks to Dr. Midos’s bein hazmanim radio. And he’s telling them about the world being rrrrround.
You could buy one on Amazon???
Yes, Syag, it’s true. You have do wonderful, clear insight. Wheels are turning ever so slowly… we’re taking your advise/instruction seriously.
Mazal Tov to you on your Simcha, may they be zoche to a most happy healthy and wealthy Bais Ne’eman. May you always have only good tidings to share.
She was standing on his toe.
