kigel
cholunt
single malt
yaakov doeParticipantMost of the spouses won’t come even if invited if they don’t know you or any of the other guests.
yaakov doeParticipantNo reason not to put all ingredients in pot early in the morning and replenish water as needed until Shabbos.
yaakov doeParticipantIf it were done today there would soon be a shortage of stones with long lines forming.
yaakov doeParticipantSIMCHJA FELDER
yaakov doeParticipantI voted for Gary Johnson on the Libertarian line since the other 2 are unqualified for the office.
yaakov doeParticipantIf you’re a women there’s no issue.
yaakov doeParticipantI have been told that Prospect and Torah V’das and probably other schools will take in the Rockaway refugees and place the students in appropriate classes for the duration.
October 31, 2012 2:01 am at 2:01 am in reply to: Will Yeshivas in Brooklyn be open tomorrow? #902094yaakov doeParticipantMost if not all are open with no bus service (Lonero etc) provided by the City.
yaakov doeParticipantWe had a nice minyon this morning. The plan for Mincha maariv is minyonom in houses for neighbors to minimize traveling.
October 26, 2012 12:04 pm at 12:04 pm in reply to: Gift for Jewish, intermarried, but interested preceptor #901243yaakov doeParticipantDoesn’t giving a gift show approval of intermarriage?
yaakov doeParticipantFrom those that I’ve met over the years at a university, they went to “modern orthodox” yeshivas, but weren’t from orthodox homes.
yaakov doeParticipantDid they install one of those new meters recently? They supposedly report more usage than the old ones.
October 23, 2012 2:25 pm at 2:25 pm in reply to: Ball tshuva girl who's father is not jewish #900593yaakov doeParticipantI know one such couple that’s been married over 35 years, and 2 others recently married. I don’t know how the non Jewish grandfather was explained to the children.
yaakov doeParticipantThe world would be sleeping. Shachris without minyonim.
October 18, 2012 8:18 pm at 8:18 pm in reply to: Bentching at a Wedding – How Often Do You Stay? [poll] #899989yaakov doeParticipantI stayed for bentching at my childrens’ chassanas but for very few others. One that I did stay for we had to count the photographer for the minyon.
yaakov doeParticipantNothing wrong with being a litte nervous. That’s to be expected.
yaakov doeParticipantThe frum newspapers and magazines used to to full of such errors, butit’s been a long time since I’ve seen such. Hamodea,Mishpacha and the Yated have very high standards. Since I no longer bother reading to Jewish Press I don’t know if they’ve improved.
yaakov doeParticipantPerhaps explaining that the grandparents grew up in a different time and didn’t have the advantage of a yeshiva education will suffice.
yaakov doeParticipantDoesn’t it depend on what animal’s fur is used. Looking at the old photos from from Eastern Europe there’s little resmblence between those streimlach and what we see today.
yaakov doeParticipantI didn’t notice the bias
yaakov doeParticipantIn Williamsburg the traffic moves because women arn’t driving.
yaakov doeParticipantWhat exactly does that word mean? I think I’ve heard of it once.
yaakov doeParticipantSince I don’t think either one is qualified I’m voting for Gary Johnson, the Liberarian candidate a former Governor of New Mexico.
October 11, 2012 2:22 pm at 2:22 pm in reply to: Best way to mouseproof a basement in BP, with Shuls and schools on every block? #899210yaakov doeParticipantWhy are there so many mice in Boro Park? Michoel and Mindy Mouse?
yaakov doeParticipantComing to shiul on time defines a Yeke
yaakov doeParticipantBPM is correct. An NYPD officer can not determine what is an illegal driveway en though it is obvious. For those who want to see illegal driveways drive down 40th St. between 12th and 13th Aves.
There is legislation pending in City Council to enable the DOT to restore the curb and bill the homeowner for the cost as they do with sidewalk repairs.
yaakov doeParticipantOf course I do!
yaakov doeParticipantI thought that everyone knew that at least a gallon can be held in the pipe leading to the gas tank. The pump shuts based on gas in the pipe so of course a fill up when actually empty will be for more gas than the advertised capacity
yaakov doeParticipantakuperma – Very shrewd observation
yaakov doeParticipantYes, one should dress as if it were Yom Tov.
yaakov doeParticipantEven if it was about a vegetable, which a tomato isn’t, it wouldn’t be funny. Sorry about that.
yaakov doeParticipantIs it more of a mitzvah to wear a $3500 one?
yaakov doeParticipantYES. Without question but sadly some of our people treat it like they observe hilchos loshon horah. We are an Am Kodesh and shouldn’t be a party to white collar, blue collar or any crime.
yaakov doeParticipantWhat happens if the Bucharian guests contribute more money than the cost of the wedding? Rebates? The idea of wedding gifts covering the chassanah instead of going to the couple seems odd to me.
September 14, 2012 2:27 am at 2:27 am in reply to: Is there a way to tell if a girl will be a competent wife and mother #896786yaakov doeParticipantYes there is. Marry her, father children and then you can see.
yaakov doeParticipantWhy is saying it after Aleynu as is your minhag a problem?
?
September 12, 2012 7:22 pm at 7:22 pm in reply to: This may sound like a crazy question but I'm serious… #941843yaakov doeParticipantWe’ll all find out when the time comes.
yaakov doeParticipantProbably only because they prefer him to Rom,ney, not that they like him.
yaakov doeParticipantI was a few blocks away, heard the planes hit, saw the fires burning and the steel glowing,the people running and later the thick clouds of enveloping dust as the buildings fell. Each year I find that I must turn off the radio since the commemoration is too painful.
yaakov doeParticipantOf course, hasn’t everyone? We eat in the succah until Pesach.
yaakov doeParticipantIf you were operating a car and using the cell phone it was a well deserved ticket.
yaakov doeParticipantAn unbroken mesorah and thousands of witnesses. Now Joseph Smith found and lost his golden tablets all by himself and they were translated by an “angel” who no one else saw. And a presdential candidate beleives it.
yaakov doeParticipantTznius without a question. At least for Brooklyn.
yaakov doeParticipantThe more the merrier, especially if all the inlaws are supporting and all of the wives working. Those lucky Sfardim!
yaakov doeParticipant“Yes” is the way to answer the phone on Tisha B’Av.
yaakov doeParticipantFYI While Williamsburg is being limited on the North and East by the “hipsters” it has spread South into what was considered to be Bed Stuy. There are now chassidim around Dekalb and Layayette and a little further down. Only a matter of time until they reach Crown Heights!
yaakov doeParticipantI’ve had experience with ACS both reporting and being reported. I would strongly suggest that you contact Ohel. They have a mobile crisis intervention unit which may the appropriate way to deal with your concerns.
ACS doesn’t want to take children and their goal is to keep families together, sometimes with disasterous results.
August 27, 2012 5:16 pm at 5:16 pm in reply to: Good reading suggestions for Elul and the High Holy Days for a beginner #893148yaakov doeParticipantEbay seller bluebirds15 usually has over 1000 Jewish books in Hebrew, English, Yiddish and Ladino listed. Well worth looking over his listings.
yaakov doeParticipantDepends on which card. AMEX say yes.
