I know that the masters in Social Work is a real program through LIU. I think the Rebitzen Bulka programs are harder than TTI. Many of the BA credits are from yeshiva seminary courses plus a year in her program to get the degree.
Agoodbygirl raises an interesting point. I have come across many frum men and women who worked in tyhe non Jewish world without compromising their Yiddishkeit. Be sure to set an example, a kiddush Hashem at all times.
Using first names is the norm out there in the world, and although not our way is not a halachic problem. Avoid any socializing with them outside of the office which I’ve found is understood by co workers. By your dress and use of language you will stand apart anyway.
Those who remain single didn’t find the lid or thought that it wasn’t the right lid. Hashem has a lid (beshert) for all.
In general the girls are the ones with the better writing skills anmd spelling.
Single malt, cholunt, kishka, kreplach
Can anyone suggest a Daf Yomi in Brooklyn that meets these criteria, clear English easy to understand?
Either the wrong mikvah or you just don’t stay longh enough.
Ridiculous question. If I can’t wear my Shabbos hat in the bathroom, then what about my Shabbos shoes, shirt, tie etc. Do some hats have keduusha that I’m not aware of?
Shoprite sale items can’t be beat and the same for a lesser extent Waldbaums and Pathmark. Weekly sales circulars can be viewd on line Thursday morning. Stop and Shop doubles coupons up to $.99 as does the Waldbaums on Cross Bay Blvd.
KRM and Moishes for meat and case items as well as weekly sale items. Paperific for sale items. Rosners on 14th Ave or Ave F has great prices on closeouts at times.
For produce the stores on Ft Hamilton at 60th and 65th Streets.
Edited
A very insensative question. For all you know the man asked a shaila of his rav. We must trust that these children are part of Hashem’s plan.
Aside from the kosher TV dinners, is anything else “kosher” on a cruise? I assume that there’s a lot that shouldn’t be seen.
A much smaller percentage of goyim get married in a legal sense. They just “hook up” or live together without benefit of matrimony and there’s no stigma to out of wedlock chikdren.
In this area of life there is no comparison to Yiddin possible.
One of the Klass family disputed that quote a few years ago. Although I stopped getting it after the better alternatives emerged, I can tell you that there is a lot less content than in the past. Much of the paper is filled with articles from right wing sources. I think it will disappear soon.
A cement floor in an attic? Highly unusual!
YYTZ- While there may be inspection on the farms and orchards the apple passes through many hands before it get to your local store. There is no double wrapping or seal and a tremendous monetary incentive to fabricate the organic status. I also assume that there is no Yiras Shamayim among the purveyers.
I assume that the Flatbush Food Co-op on Cortelyou Rd has them. I often wondered, how one really knows that the so called “organic” food is really organic. Are there equivilents to hechsarim? What keeps someone from selling regular produce as organic?
Many of the shuls have a room that can be rented in your price range. It’s refreshing to see that a Bas Mitzvah is being planned that itsn’t ostentatious aqs has become the norm in some communities. A small party for classmates and close family is enough, not a mini chassanah.
Won’t the prospective Chabad bochur and his parents have a problem with your access to the internet since it’s only permitted for parnossa?
For some reason the Yated wasn’t available until Friday this past week.
Not at all surprised by the waitresses comments. Too often our people forget that their actions positive or negative reflect upon all of us. We are to be a light unto the nations, not ones to cause a chillul Hashem.
Even the Jewish Press and Jewish Week don’t have sports sections and you expect Hamodia to have one. Sports originated with the Greeks and as much as Jews follow some sports they are not a
Jewish thing.
Very few of ours are on Welfare, but Food Stamp benefits are an epidemic in our community.
One would assume that the protesters have wives, or hope to find wives that work to support them. Maybe a women only job fair is what they’d sapprove of.
One must wonder why Dunkin Donuts and previously Krispy Kreme donuts used the hashgacha of a Rabbi Mehlman. Is he a donut specialist? Is there a reason that none of the recognized organizations give hashgacha to Brooklyn Dunkin Donuts?
I’d only have 2 wishes –
I’d wish for unlimited wishes
I’d wish that people with too much time on theiur hands do something constructive with the time rather than spend it here at CR.
Obviously some members of our community have more money than they know what to do with and their friends and neighbors spend beyond their means to imitate them. There’s no reason for a $40,000 watch. Better off buying 2 $1000 watches and hgiving the $38,000 to tzdaka. Some of the wealthiest people I know of live normal lives without flaunting their wealth and give generously to numerous tzdakas.
I, for one, appreciate Rabbi Levin remaining silent on this matter.
Does anyone think that an armed security guard would have prevented Friday’s madman from entering the school? The doors were locked and he blasted his way in. Security guards are a help, but are not the answer to an armed assault on a school by a lunatic.
Yatzmich “The women’s clothing is getting tighter & shorter by the week. Even by the “yeshivisha” people”
Sounds like Flatbush, Marine Park or the 5 towns to me. I thought that tznius in Iyar Hacodesh were better.
What kind of question is that? Of course it’s fitting for any Jewish male to have a beard.
Why not ask if it’s fitting for some of the other Concilmembers to look as they do? Men with long hair and earings and one wears a Nehru jacket from the 1960’s. Greenfield looks dignified as an elected official should.
I enjoyed mine this past Shabbos, but now I have a ringing in my stomach.
There is enough chillul Hashem from this case without any additional publicity on the trial.
I’m told that any frum woman can always recognize a shaitel. As a man I’m not always able to. I can think of 2 women I know who may be wearing shaitels or it may be their real hair. After seeing them dozens of time, I don’t know if it’s their hair or a shaitel.
Why not?
Health, I assume you’re a woman because a man shouldn’t be looking at women anytime anywhere (except his wife). There are granchildren and great grandchildren of gayrim, and shaitels that look like real hair. Don’t be so quick to assume anything.
Because it’s very uncomfortable to button the top button. There is no other reason.
Yes. There’s a shidduch crisis because of such shallow thinking.
By the way, I’m taller than any woman I’ve ever met.
Charles – If you’ll agree to use Chinese men who undergo proper geirus, I’ll consider joining you in this enterprise. If you want to use Chinese women you’ll have to get in touch with those strains of Judaism that are flexible when it comes to halacha. If they can have female “rabbis”, chazonetts, moheletts, why not Chinese sofferetts?
cherrybim – You are right about too much sweetness in recent times. I thought it was from the influence of the Hungarians.
The minhag of pizza Thursday night goes back in my neighborhood at least 20 years.
What’s the source for the minhag of Chinese food on Monday night?
WIY Thanks for the good wishes. I’m in it to win it and I’m frum and charitable.
Yatzmich – For some reason the boots make a woman more attractive and I assume that’s the reason that they wear them when it’s not because of weather.
The absoilute best bagesls come from Bagel Hole on Conjey at K. No one else comes close.
The questions and often the answers are hillarious. To ask if a vote for the writers mother’s political candidate could be considered a birthday gift is an example of the quality of the questions.
Eichlers is having a Black Friday sale on a few items.
It should be avoided since many patients develop a strong attachment to the therapist. If there’s a huge age difference it’s probably less of a problem.
There are well qualified frum therapists of both genders available in NYC, maybe no so out of town.
Since the shortage of boys or girls is in the out of town communities perhaps they have such funds. Here, especially after the storm funds are needed locally for the devestated yeshivot and shuls and the families that lost their home and posessions.
We saw that Yiddin are united and always willing to help each other.Food provided by supermarkets, caterers, women in Williansburg, and busloads from Baltimore to help with the cleanup. What other people would do all that?
The programs are meant for those who actually meet the income eligibility requirements when the total household income is counted. Any attempt to receive benefits through concealment involves halachic propblems. Ask sny recognized posek.
