We really run EY?! What a joke! EY is and has been a satellite of the US for many decades.They probably couldn’t exist without the US money weapons and protection in the UN.
WIYMemberHalachically it is mutar. I once asked about this. Some people use the coat as a jacket for Davening or maybe they are just cold. Either way this is not an issue.
WIYMemberWhy would “at home” be an issue unless at home means in the US.

Just because someone is a Rebbe doesn’t mean they are a Gadol. Im not knocking R ZL but nobody in the Torah velt considers him a Gadol. Not every Rabbi and Rebbe is a Gadol. This is just fact.
January 18, 2013 5:38 am at 5:38 am in reply to: Mice vs. Large Bugs, a question for the girls #920799WIYMemberBugs are nasty. But reaches are the worst. What really creeps me out is when you kill a bug and then pick it up with a tissue and feel its body.UGH!
WIYMemberDoes EEEE have something to do with not knowing how to spell?
WIYMemberBaalHabooze
You are most welcome!
WIYMemberIts about what you said.Im not attacking you and saying you are a bad person. I think you are a learned person who is machshiv Torah who made a mistake and was irreverent.
WIYMemberPopa
You said you hate nitzavim vayeilech and that it is the worst. You may want to rethink how to better express this. And frankly what possessed you to think that you as a mere human being have a right to “rate ” Hashems parshiyos in His Torah and decide you don’t like one?!

I was trying to be funny but nobody picked up on it. The fact that they have some good Chessed organizations does not mean they are perfect or close to it. There’s a lot of unacceptable things going on there and being tolerated there. I don’t want to go into it but trust me theres plenty of shmutz to go around and you know it. So don’t give me the bologna about their bikur cholim. Im censoring myself.
WIYMemberPopa
I don’t think it is necessary to make this personal but I agree with the posters who feel that when speaking about a Parsha in the Torah one should be much more sensitive . One must treat Torah with reverence and awe.
WIYMemberDaasYochid
I don’t hate Satmar. Hate is a very strong word.
WIYMemberStop trolling you asked this about a week or 2 ago.

“That they are annoying and rude is widely accepted. The only way to avoid them is to avoid commercial flights.”
Don’t you mean avoid Williamsburg?
WIYMemberMediziner
Treat him with respect and make him feel like you think he is G-ds gift to humanity. Thats really the trick.
WIYMemberem0616
+ 100 a Rav or Rebbe, a Rebbe is more important in some ways because one is usually close to a Rebbe. (I dont bean a Rebbeh like Chassidish…)
WIYMemberWrong mikvah and wrong hours .

Well the idea is that if you do a good job dating by being a smart dater you limit the chances of falling for the wrong guy. If you marry a good guy and you both work on your marriage you should be very happily married. (Btw make sure you don’t go out unless your mother did thorough and I mean thorough research on the boy I don’t want to scare you but a lot of boys are not as good as they look on paper or from the outside view and if a boy was in a hefker velt yeshiva who knows what he has done and what he is all about so just be thorough and call everyone who knows him. Ok not everyone but you get my point ).

If you truly want your Tefillos answered you have to cry (real tears) and beg Hashem.
WIYMemberI dont want to get arrested. Either way Im in America.
WIYMemberCIO is cruel to the baby and can have long term negative effects. It makes the baby feel abandoned and unloved.

I think it depends how often you get deliveries, if its the same guy every time and also on how much you make. If its the same guy every time and you get deliveries often you should at least occasionally tip him a $1 regardless of what you make.
January 10, 2013 4:29 am at 4:29 am in reply to: Tipping a delivery boy – Mandatory or Optional? #920328WIYMemberI find that oftentimes it isn’t how much you tip but rather how it is done that is most meaningful. I make an effort to give a genuine smile and express my appreciation and wish them a good day/night and they seem to value that more than the .50 or $1 or whatever that the tip constituted of.

What makes you think he is joking?
WIYMemberWow from the same guy who wants to “practice date” on yenems cheshbon. Spend less time on the internet….
WIYMemberThere are many retarded things happening every minute in NYC.

Tight clothing is meant to accentuate the body.
WIYMemberI think the Tzad Hashaveh from this thread is that a Jew should definitely avoid dressing “fashionably” and should totally ignore what is the in style and should wear basic simple clothing that looks presentable. So I guess everyone wearing those gay looking tight pants have to go throw them out now…
WIYMemberOnly stupid parents give “smart” phones to kids. What are you thinking?!

The sutuation by chassidish yeshivas is out of hand. I was recently parked in front of a chassidish yeshiva by recess and I had to pull my car out. I had to honk for 30 seconds to get the kids attention to get out of the way (of course the Rebbe there was too busy to say anything) and then as I am slowly driving down the block some kid tried to give me a heart attack by playing chicken and jumping in front of my car. I think there is a serious lack of supervision.
WIYMemberZahavasdad
You brilliantly managed to contradict yourself. Bravo.
It seems that most groups of frum Jews have a dress code. Specifically the Chassidim and Yeshivish. The idea is not to blend with the non Jews. We attempt to look different to remind ourselves and them that we aren’t one people and we can’t mix and blend.
WIYMemberIf they want my input Ill only charge $1000

It isn’t working. And why should someone have to wait and suffer 3 or 4 years of fruitless dates to get married if its possible to do it in a quarter of the time?!
WIYMemberRabbaim
Lol
WIYMemberYeah but how many people use those websites? A few 1000 tops and most members are modern orthodox. Most people who are young and not of the MO camp would not contemplate using a website for dating.
My idea is not a website but rather a database for the yeshivish/heimish velt for everyone…where any name thrown at you can be researched on the fly so that if someone redts a shidduch they can give you a list of names and you can quickly look them up as opposed to the Shadchan having to track down resumes on each girl and then emailing it to you or delivering it to you by hand….Also an ability to do your own research and not overburden the Shadchanim. Lets say you know of a girl or a boy you can search the database and their resume comes up now you know who you can call for information. Or you are looking for guys of a certain age from x Yeshiva boom search the database and you get a list of names matching that age and yeshiva.
I’m talking about speeding up the system but also having every single person in shidduchim assigned a shadchan or lets say every girls Seminary assigned 1 or 2 or as many as needed Shadchanim as well as every yeshiva and these Shadchanim must work on those names. They are their priority. Maybe make it even more official that a Shadchan can only work on the names they are given and may not get involved with any other names. So now say you have a list of 50 guys or girls you now know its your job and your business to get THESE people married. You now have a focused job. Not “hmm lets see who I have who can I try and set up.” I’m talking about an all encompassing program that is really geared towards results. It should be run like a business where everyone has their job and everyone knows what they are supposed to do and every single knows somebody is working for them to get them married. Its big. But I think it would help if we could implement such a program.
WIYMemberCuriosity
The Gemara is in Sanhedrin 74 a-b however the Gemara there doesn’t say exactly what KH says it does. It says that bishaas shmad a Jew may not change even the color of his shoe laces (if there’s an inherent reason why Jews wear that color be it for modesty…) even if they will kill him. Ayyin sham.
WIYMemberYeshivish
Really? To my knowledge there are no young actors that came from a heimish family.

I know right?! Like why can’t the women start doing another aveira so the speakers could speak about that? Don’t they think the speakers are sick of speaking about tznius?
WIYMemberChinesefood
When you feel ready to put your spouses needs before your own then I think you are ready for marriage. I think this applies to boys and girls. If you aren’t ready to go out of your way for another person on a regular basis don’t bother getting married.
WIYMemberBtw when I was a teenager I had a chup and anyone who is honest will tell you its because you want to look “good” “cool” or just not yeshivish.

“The line “uniform of hashems army” makes me barf”
The medrash says that one of the zchusim that Klal Yisroel had in leaving mitzrayim is that they dressed as Yidden not Mitzrim.
The medrash also says the the reason why Moshe wasnt zoche to be buried in EY is because when he appeared to the daughters of Yisro in Mindyan he appeared as an ish Mitzri to them. I.e. he dressed as a Mitzri. Im sure there’s more. On the topic. You can barf at Medrashim all you want…

Who has done a conclusive study to prove that there are more boys than girls? I think the numbers are pretty equal and if you look at most countries you will see the breaksown of boys to girls is pretty equal. I don’t believe that Hashem in His great Rachamim would create 1000’s of more girls than boys making it impossible for them to ever get married. I believe the numbers are about equal if someone did a real census they would find this to be so.
WIYMemberYekke
The vilna gaon was extremely deep and incisive he wasn’t just an encyclopedia!!!!! Rabbi Akiva eiger also had encyclopedic knowledge. I really don’t believe the ohr sameiach said this and if he said something similar I think we are misunderstanding his statement. A source would be beneficial.
