I think Rebitzen Bulka’s New Seminary has seperate programs for men and women for Masters degrees.
January 20, 2014 1:18 pm at 1:18 pm in reply to: Why leave your dirty tissue on the table in Shul? #1212545yaakov doeParticipantI assume that they are so imerserd in their Tefillah that they ignore the mundane.
yaakov doeParticipantWIY I think the change that prevents the Muni meter from taking money before the time you have to pay or before the legal time to park on the Street was made at the request of Greenfield.
yaakov doeParticipantJust put the TV by the curb and it’s gone forever.
yaakov doeParticipantFrum Yiddin are in all kinds of professions these days, so it’s not surprising.
yaakov doeParticipantPOPA – At your age your parents have certainly had a lot of time to save up to psay for your year in Israel. Can’t wait to see the look on the faces of all at BJJ when they see you.
yaakov doeParticipantSome are ready for marriage at 18 and some not at 88. If he thinks he’s ready – why not?
January 6, 2014 10:52 pm at 10:52 pm in reply to: Making Shabbos for the first time! Need help! #998446yaakov doeParticipantAll you forgot is the salt and pepper for the soup, gefilte fish and the cholunt. The Smilowitz C&L pareve kishka is by far the best one to put in the cholunt. A lot of paprika in the cholunt adds color an flavor, but I can’t give you all of my cholunt secrets.
December 29, 2013 3:17 am at 3:17 am in reply to: Making fun of people who are frummer than you #996564yaakov doeParticipantPoppa – What length skirt did you wear in the Bais Yaakov d”Sadom? You must have really stood out!
yaakov doeParticipantYup, the mice are out of control. Better get some Katz in here.
December 15, 2013 3:40 am at 3:40 am in reply to: Everyone Must Answer: What Is YOUR Favorite Dish (food) #1184482yaakov doeParticipantPotato kugel with single malt whiskey.
yaakov doeParticipantI gave up TV years ago after watching very little because there was so little worth watching. After a few days without it, you will no longer miss it.
You can watch thousands of great video shiurim and speeches on Torahcafe.com and Torahanytime.com. Some are serious learning, but others are infomative and even humourous. Rabbis Fischel Schachter, and Label Lam on Torahanytime are not to be missed, and Dr. Luchins, Prof. Sarna, and Nathan Lewin on Toracafe.com are captivating.
Give up the TV and expand your knowledge through these web sites.
yaakov doeParticipantShouldn’t you get both the wife and the diploma before you ask the question?
yaakov doeParticipantThe unanswered questions are – Did he do a good job and was the final cost of $500 a fair price for the job? A low estimate can be either intentional or an error. It appears that his good reputation in cyberspace is worth $500 to him.
yaakov doeParticipantYou could have caused serious injury by having chairs that couldn’t hold the person’s weight. You can’t hold the sitter responsible unless you warned him beforehand, but he could hold you responsible for injury.
October 24, 2013 9:28 pm at 9:28 pm in reply to: What would you do FIRST if Moshiach came TODAY? #982412yaakov doeParticipantTurn off the computer
yaakov doeParticipantBefore Chabad bought the building it was a private hospital owned by for minor proceedures. Maybe that’s why they have a depictation of it on their tefilin bags. Anyway, it’s harmless.
October 21, 2013 6:17 pm at 6:17 pm in reply to: Protesting Same-Gender Marriage in New Jersey #985989yaakov doeParticipantWe and others opposed to this are unfortunatly a minority so there’s nothing we can do to stop it. What is common in the general population as far as relationships between men an women is also contrary to our values. We must stengthen our resolve not to be influenced by what’s around us and stand apart.
yaakov doeParticipantA lot of South African Jews and Morocan Jews list themselves as African Americans sice they are from Africa. Hispanics aren’t from Spain or Sefardic countries but are descendants of the natives colonized by the Spanish conquers.
yaakov doeParticipantI am also unsalaried.
October 14, 2013 8:45 pm at 8:45 pm in reply to: Calling all N.J. people to get out and vote for Lonegan! #978976yaakov doeParticipantWhat was the Newark unemployment rate before Booker? I think Newark’s problems go back to the time Booker was an infant.
The 2 candidates are polar opposites so the final result will be interesting.
yaakov doeParticipantIt became a Federal holiday in the 1970’s due to the efforts of Congressman Peter Rodino from NJ. It was a State Holiday in NY before that.
October 10, 2013 12:07 am at 12:07 am in reply to: Can cancer be cured with organic vegan whole food diet? #978638yaakov doeParticipantNot a cure at all. Eating a natural diet as most people dif 75 years ago may result in less cancer.
yaakov doeParticipantInteresting topic for a sefer.
yaakov doeParticipantFor what it’s going to cost your parents, I hope you get something out of it besides getting fat from eating ice cream.
October 3, 2013 7:28 pm at 7:28 pm in reply to: Where to get cheap but good white shirts in Brooklyn #995008yaakov doeParticipantI don’t think solid blu shirts are priced any different than solid white shirts. I wear both!
October 2, 2013 8:08 pm at 8:08 pm in reply to: Where to get cheap but good white shirts in Brooklyn #994996yaakov doeParticipantCosco, BJ’s, Marshalls and online deals from Joseph A Bank frequently for $19. There’s another top brand that I can’t recall that advertises in the NY Times and Wall Street Journal also for $19 a shirt as an introductary offer.
yaakov doeParticipantThat people have a lot of time on their hands.
That people seek halachic advise from anonymous people.
yaakov doeParticipantYungerman from Lakewood
1000 years from now Moshiach would have come and settled all of these questions. I assume he won’t advocate burkas or shaitels, but other means of covering hair.
Tznuis is declining along with skirt lengths in Flatbush, Marine Park, the 5 Towns and even the heilig Boro Park and the skirts are getting tighter.
Could it be the manufacturers are just trying to use less fabric or have the women lowered their standards?
yaakov doeParticipantWho sets the standard for the sizes marked inside yamalkas with what seems to be crayon? Is there a national standard as to what size a size 7 should be?
yaakov doeParticipantAnyone but Weiner
yaakov doeParticipantLevAryehBoy – Is the “Rav” still there drinking hios special brew?
yaakov doeParticipantCicero or the North Side of Chicago. Why not draw Jewish symbols on the bills. If I were to walk in the the phoney $20, I assume that since I look heimish, you wouldn’t bother to check it?
yaakov doeParticipantThe succah stores and others will be advertising succah chandeliers in Torah Times in a week or 2. I didn’t realize that people actually bought them, but I know very few Hungarians.
yaakov doeParticipantWhy pick on Dov Lipman? He’s a well intentioned man who is somewhat misguided. He didn’t develop the plan or control the political party. He thinks that the can do the impossible, unite all factions of Israeli society.
yaakov doeParticipantHaayim? Is that you?
yaakov doeParticipantCancel the exterminator, save the pets and don’t let your aunts know about the ants carrying their names.
None are named after the above gentleman?
yaakov doeParticipantMe as a student! Each and every one of them.
yaakov doeParticipantWhat the atletes do off the field is now the entertainment. They are no longer role models for kids like DiMagio and Maris were.
yaakov doeParticipantMaybe he’s fat since his filling up on bread and potatoes since the wife is a bad cook.
July 26, 2013 2:46 pm at 2:46 pm in reply to: Why are there religious Jews who are pro-gay marriage? #968418yaakov doeParticipantI have never met a frum person who favors or endorses homosexual marriage. Many of us realize that such unions along with many practices of non Jews and non observant Jews are antithetical to our Torah values, but are accepted by many. Society has sunken to it’s lowest level in the past 20-30 years with adultery, “hooking up”, unmarried couples publicly living together, and worse accepted. We are a people that stands alone and must continue to seperate ourselves rather than oppose what we can not stop.
yaakov doeParticipantWhy wouldn’t you check the ticket?
yaakov doeParticipantVilliamsburg or Munrow.
July 10, 2013 2:11 am at 2:11 am in reply to: Is theyeshivaworld.com nothing more than a tabloid in disguise? #964867yaakov doeParticipantThe Hikind story was picked up from another media source. The other Jewish news site may be considered tabloid, not this one.
yaakov doeParticipantWould it have made a difference if you had previously met the women?
yaakov doeParticipantMany lactose intolerant people manage just fine with fish,vegetables, beans, pasta etc. Americans eat too much meat anyway. In Europe our ancestors ate much less meat and poultry than we’ve become accustomed to.
yaakov doeParticipantThere is a problem, but denying husbands the right to daven in a shul would result in no minyonim in many communities.
I was at a camp visiting day yesterday, and far less than half of the women were dressed according to a moderate standard of halacha.
yaakov doeParticipantIf it was more “ladylike” you’d have a problem, unless you are ……………..
yaakov doeParticipantI have never heard of any objection to the women walking for excercise on Ocean Pkwy or in Prospect Park as long as their are dressed properly.
Now a job is another thing altogether.
yaakov doeParticipantThe president of my shul because he does all the work to keep things open and running well.
