I saw the picture. Quite hilarious. Also I feel bad for the ponies. Why put large men on small ponies when you can put them on a horse?

Why can’t all this learning be done post chasunah? So go to kollel for an extra year or 2?
Maybe if we guys felt the pressure of having to marry earlier we would feel the need to grow up quicker and mature quicker. Some guys at 21 are still babies but if they knew they would be hitting the shidduchim market at 21 they would grow up at 20 and look at life more seriously at an earlier age.
Why hasn’t anyone started a shidduchim forum?!

There’s always a better piece of cake out there. The idea is to find one you like and be done with the search. We aren’t meant to dedicate our lives to searching for that “perfect” elusive piece of cake that we may never find. So just find a piece that’s really good and satisfying for your needs and move on. You get the moshol.
Medium size shadchan
I won’t rant but my personal opinion is that there aren’t enough quality sjadchanim out there and many shadchanim are busy peddling the same 100 boys to the same 200 girls. Basically if you aren’t from the right family or the right bank account or if you don’t harass the shadchan to death you have no chance. The real crisis is a lack of enough quality shadchanim who are looking to get people married as opposed to just making rich flashy shidduchim.

As long as there is a slim chance it could work I think there’s nothing wrong but if its like a real no way then I don’t see how you can waste a girls time and allow her to get her hopes up for nothing.

Bloody is a curse word in England so please stop cursing on Yeshiva world.
You seem to not know how to spell and use grammar properly which leads me to believe that you are probably a kid or maybe Chassidish. Either way you have nothing to worry about regardless of who you are. I know boys and girls who stutter and are married happily. If your stutter is extreme then get professional help.

Are you shmendrick?!

Mainstream Orthodox people are careful with things that involve a chiyuv Kareis and that are issurei deoraysoh. Lo sikravu legalos ervah is an issur deoraysoh.
Btw with all due respect I don’t think you are ready for marriage. You think marriage is all about your physical pleasures. You don’t realize that for a large portion of the month you can’t even touch your wife casually. You can’t even pass her things. You have to put it down and then she can pick it up. Learn the halachos of taharas hamishpacha. You will see that much self control is required.
On another note you should realize everyone’s needs are different. Your wife may not be as needy as you in this department. So you really should cool yourself down because you may be in for a lot of disappointment.
Read Rav Shalom Arushs book The Garden of Peace. It will clarify a lot about marriage for you. You owe it to yourself to be prepared for marriage before getting married or else you will be hit by many unpleasant surprises. Don’t become another statistic.

What if everyone pays with bounced checks?
Hershi,
If you have one of those removable boxes with the hole in the center that are made to protect the shel yad you don’t need to cover it. I think covering it is just to protect it. Not a halacha per se.

You mean daf yomis

The topic was yeshivish haircuts. A guy with a chup is not yeshivish. He can be a good boy but if his chup is important to him there’s something missing. If you cant understand that its your issue not mine. Its important to read the op and to see who and what I was responding to.
Anonimous
I don’t know your age and how many kids you have, however I can only imagine that a young couple would have a night a week to go out. Once the family grows and factoring in simchos if you live in a large frum community, it will be impossible to free up one night a week consistently that you can both go out.

There are approximately 100 of these bored unemployed violent bitter fellows living within a community of about 100000 people that are giving the rest a bad name. The truth is that they should be handed over to the police and I have no clue why they are tolerated because they clearly take directives from none of the Rabbonim.

Usually people who have a certain gift are also born with an inherent strong need and desire to share that gift with others. Usually people who have a great voice love to sing and its a way to express their true self. Imagine if Avraham Fried never went into the singing business. I think he would be very depressed and feel unfulfilled. I don’t think all or even most singers sing to show off. I’m sure that gaiva gets the better of them at times, I think anyone standing on stage in front of 1000s of people and getting applause will feel some gaiva. But lets not judge them. At the end of the day most heimish singers offer us beautiful music and songs that enhances our Shabbosim, yomim tovim, simchos, and allows us to have a kosher outlet and gives us something kosher for the kids to listen to. We should be makir tov to them.

“What makes a person keep peyos behind the ear?”
Family minhag, its more a chassidish thing so I guess it depends where your family originates.
Does he keep from the temple of the head or just close to the ear?
The proper thing would be to do the whole area that is halachically peyos, but since that looks very briskerish many dont do that. So really those strings behind their ears are meaningless.
BASICS
ESSENTIALS
11 players from each team on field
Four 15min quarters
Three time-outs per half for each team
12min half-time
15min sudden-death overtime if scores are tied
The purpose of the game is to move the ball towards, and ultimately into, the opposition’s end zone.
This is achieved by either running with the ball until tackled, or throwing the ball downfield to a team-mate.
DOWNS
Downs are the most fundamental, and confusing, part of the NFL rulebook.
The attacking team, or offence, needs to move the ball forward in chunks of at least 10 yards, which is why the pitch has yardage markings.
They have four chances, or downs, to gain those 10 yards.
When the ball has advanced that far anotherfirst down is earned, with four more chances to go a further 10 yards.
If the offensive team fails to move 10 yards within four downs, possession is surrendered, although the ball is usually kicked, or punted, to the defending team on fourth down.
While most scoring comes from near the defending team’s end zone, a touchdown can be scored from anywhere on the field, and on any down.
PLAYS
These are the complicated movements involving all 11 players teams use to move the ball downfield.
Plays are called by the head coach or quarterback, who is the attacking lynchpin of any team.
While the term usually refers to attacking teams, defending teams also use set plays to stop their opponents’ forward movement.
The offensive team has 30 seconds to get the ball in play or kick a field goal.
SCORING
Touchdown (six points)
A touchdown is scored when a team crosses the opposition’s goal line with the ball, or catches or collects the ball in the end zone.
Field goal (three points)
These are usually attempted on fourth down if the kicker is close enough to the end zone to kick the ball through the posts, or uprights.
Extra point (one or two points)
A point is earned by kicking the ball through the uprights after a touchdown (similar to a rugby conversion). Two points are earned by taking the ball into the end zone again.
Safety (two points)
Awarded to the defensive team when a member of the offensive team is tackled with the ball in his own end zone.
POSITIONS
Although there are only 11 players from each side on the field at any one time, an American football team is made up of 45 players, ranging in size, speed and their roles within the team.
The offence
A team’s attacking players who attempt to move the ball forward and score touchdowns.
The key man is the quarterback.
On the quarterback’s signal, the centre snaps the ball back between his legs to the QB (similar to rugby league’s play-the-ball).
A typical offensive line-up
The quarterback can then either run with the ball, hand it to a running back, or pass it downfield to one of his receivers.
1 & 11 Wide receivers
2 & 6 Tackles
3 & 5 Guards
4 Centre
7 Tight end
8 Quarterback
9 Fullback
10 Running back
The plays used by the quarterback can either be pre-arranged or improvised to take advantage of the game’s changing shape.
The defence
The role of the defence is to stop the other team from scoring by tackling the ball-carrier, intercepting passes or causing fumbles.
A ‘3-4’ defensive set-up
The defence is made up of big, powerful players trying to stop the other team from running the ball, and fast, athletic players trying to prevent the quarterback’s passes from reaching his receivers.
The defence’s power players also attempt to tackle, or sack, the quarterback before he has thrown the ball, while any defender can cause a fumble by knocking the ball from a ball-carrier’s grasp.
1 & 3 – Cornerbacks
2 – Free safety
4, 5, 6, 7 – Linebackers
8 – Strong safety
9 & 11 – Defensive ends
10 – Nose, or defensive, tackle
Special teams
Responsible for all plays involving kicks or punts.
Special teams play a small but vital role. They come onto the field to execute field goal or extra point attempts, and when the team wants to punt the ball downfield on fourth down.
They are also responsible for trying to block the opposition’s kicks and punts, as well as attempting to return them as far as possible in the other direction.

I sincerely hope you don’t own any guns and if yes I hope they never have to be used…no shortage of weirdos out there nebach.

You are welcome. For those who have peyos behind the ear will only get a short cut on the parts that aren’t halachically peyos and the area that is peyos will maybe be trimmed and thinned out a drop it really depends on the person how thick he wants his peyos although some are makpid not to thin it out at all meaning if it gets long they may shorten the payos but won’t touch the area close to the head to thin it out in the peyos area. As for those who don’t have peyos behind or in front of ears but just sideburns can take a short haircut as long as his peyos extend to the end of the bone in middle of the ear. There’s no problem taking a 2.

Don’t give him ideas. And its called crack square if you plan on “hanging out” there.

Most yeshiva bochurim have the same outfit summer and winter. The only difference is that winter wardrobe includes sweaters a coat and boots or galoshen (shoe rubbers).
If you think you will be going swimming someplace include swimming trunks and if you play ball or intend to hike bring sneakers and basket ball shorts or cotton pants. For sleeping bring light pajamas or shorts…
Blackhat
Most yeshivish guys in most yeshjvish yeshivas (not all yeshivas are yeshivish as weird as that may sound) will have short hair in the front. Its also better to have short hair because long hair in the front can be a chatzizah a separation between your head and the tefillin shel rosh which is a problem. Guys who are more to the cool side will have some kind of chup or hairstyle thing going on in the front. Generally and I know there are exceptions, the longer the hair the more cool or bummy the guy is. So if you are a ben Torah who wants to look like one keep the hair short. No it doesn’t have to be military style it can be a 4 in the front and 3 or 2 on sides. The front shouldn’t be much bigger than a 4…

Just curious, how long have you been following these boards? Were you a lurker for a few years or are you new?

There is a segulah (I think it is mentioned in the Gemara but not sure so don’t quote me on it) that when faced with a barking dog recite the pasuk “Ul’chol bnei Yisroel lo yecheratz kelev l’shono” and it will cause the dog to back down. People say it works.
Shmendrick
You have once again proven that you are a shmendrick by not attributing your cut and paste about the Tosafos in Taanis to the source you cut and pasted it from in this case Rabbi Fink. You are an even bigger shmendrick for purposely going against the mishnah in Avos which says that Kol Ha’Omer Davar BeSheim omro Meivi Ge’ulah La’Olam by cutting out the words ” The Torah Temimah quotes” Tosafos in Taanis….
Is it so hard to say that you cut and pasted something? Nobody is fooled that you know all this stuff. Its safe to assume that anything Torah or intelligent ever posted by you on this site is a cut and paste from others hard work.

The problem that Trim seems to be having is a valid one that plagues many marriages. It is quite frequent especially in our society to be a shopaholic or even a spendthrift. I know people who just waste money on the stupidest things and its money they shouldnt be wasting.
I wouldn’t be so quick to shoot this down as a troll thread. Morah, you should realize that people often post replies that are jokes and sarcasm or just respond without really thinking it through. Some replies are serious so you have to do a lot of sifting. If you spend (read waste) enough time here you will get a handle of different peoples answering style and what they really hold about certain issues.
Popa
The point is nobody denies that ayin hora exists, it does but it only harms those who are concerned with it. Its a matter of if it bothers you. Nobody is saying that it only exists if you believe in it but rather the power to harm you. Either way I don’t think believe anyone is immune to ayin hora if they do things that bring ayin hora. Basically if you do certain things that attract undue attention to yourself and arouse others jealousy…you can get hit by ayin hora regardless of your concern over AH. So the way I understand it, is that if you don’t do anything to incite ayin hora now you are neutral. Its power to now affect you is dependent on if you care about it and go out of your way to do things to ward it off…then maybe it can affect you. But if you don’t care it will leave you alone.

I think all domesticated dogs know what a smile is and that it is unthreatening.

Maybe discuss with her that you think ite necessary to save for a rainy day or better yet go down to your bank and have your banker talk to both of you and explain why its smart and even necessary to have savings. You never want to have to come on to other people chas veshalom.
Dogs smell fear or a threat like if you dont like them. Just chill out and look at the dog in a friendly loving way and it will like you. Smile at it I’m serious.
They should have a spelling section. You totally butchered the word Hamodia lol. Ok not sure its officially an English word but still if you read the paper you should know how to spell its name.

He is a gaon and one of the greats of the generation. I heard from one of my Rabbeim that he is a Yid that knows Kol Hatorah kulah + Kabbalah cold. He was also asked to be Ravad of the Eidah but declined for personal reasons. He deserved the title gaon and you for your comment deserve the title tipish.
Shmedrick
You are a troll and a real shmendrick.
You said “I spent the last few hours b’iyun on this topic.” Total lies. All you did was a google search and you cut and pasted someone elses hard work and are claiming it as your own. You really are low.
The true credit for shmedricks post above with all the sources is from Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz the Rav of Beis Hakneses of Woodmere. You should really be ashamed of yourself for being such a phony fraud.
