The Wolf:
“Shabbos leftovers. Yes, I know that there are some posters who have a problem with eating Shabbos food during the week. Deal with it.”
See Sharei teshuva siman shin who states from the mahrsha, that it is better to make something new for meleva malka and not to eat leftovers!
The Rabbi Rocks:
“your supposed to wash and eat s/t hot”
Where do you get that from?
Look in Rashi in the sugya in shabbos, where he says that Chamin B’motzei shabbos is done either by eating/drinking something hot, or by having a hot bath/shower!
I will try to get back to you with an exact grid ref for this rashi (I saw this years ago, and made a mental note of it)
So long as its a good single malt.
Some of my favs include:
Cardhu
Aberlour
Talisker
Scapa
Laphroig
Dalwhinnie
For the slow ones like me, can someone please give the basics on how to type hebrew in word?
I use my computer a lot, but have never figured out how to use hebrew in word, so I rely on dagesh. However I would much rather use word.
Anyone offering to give basic instructions on how to set it up on my computer, and how to switch from english to hebrew – in laymans terms!?
BP totty: Its the flat screen version we have, so it aint so thick
Chazal said it long befor me. S’yog lachochma sh’tika!
Been a memeber for over a year, but never had something sensible to say, so I never posted.
RULE: if you have nothing to say, dont say it!!!!
I am just preparing this sugya to teach to me dear talmidim in school, so I hope I can help out here.
There are halachos in the torah of a persons responsibilty if a mishap happens to an article whilst it is in the care of another person. The first stage is a person who is unpaid for his service, with the second being one who is paid. The one who is paid obviously has more responsibilties than the one who is doing it out of the goodness of his heart.
The gemara brings a machloikes regarding the status of a Shoimer avaida (a guardian of a found item before he has an opportunity to return it to its rightful owner).
Rabba says that he has the status of an unpaid guardian, seeing as though he never gets paid for what he is doing.
Rav Yoisef says that he is like a paid guardian, as he is being paid for his services. The gemara explains that when a person is occupied with a mitzva he is exempt from doing another unrelated mitzva. Therefore whilst the guardian is actively occupied with caring for the found item, he is exempt from answering the door to poor people. This amount that he saves by not having to answer the door and help the poor person, is his gain, making him like someone who is paid for his services.
This “gained” money is called “P’ruta D’rav Yoisef” as it is the p’ruta that he gained in Rav Yoisefs opinion.
For more info. see gemara Bava Kama 56b.
Sorry for being so long winded.
I hope this helps
Firstly, try not to get involved – unless they are at each others throats, or they ask you to mediate. They may think you are picking sides.
Secondly, there was recently an article in the Hamodia about forcing children to share. The crux of the article was, that if a child has a toy and another wants it, we should not tell the owner to share, as this gives the child a message that he is not the owner, and he will get upset and resent the act of sharing. He must be explained that he IS the owner, and if he wants to do the right thing / he wants to do a mitzva, he should share.
In theory it sounds a sensible point.
Anyone disagree?
Maybe we could make a new thread for this discussion

This should be the biggest avaira that any of us do!
Moshiach may come sooner!!!!!!
Talking about being Moiser nefesh,
I was in Mir Yeshiva one year rosh hashana, and Reb Nosson Tzvi shlita came to the overflow minyan (850 people!) to speak. Those that know him are aware that he suffers badly from severe parkinsons desease. Anyway he was brought into nevat (the hall where the minyan took place, but he was too weak to walk. He was literally dragged in. He was so weak he couldnt stand up to speak. He sat down, and we waited to see what would happen, half expecting him to be taken home. I watched in amazment as he pulled himself together, stood up and leaning on two shtenders gave a short divrei chizuk, begging everyone to take upon themselves to be moiser nefesh for torah and mitzvos.
I turned to the person sitting next to me and “Ehr ken redden”. (He is the right person to give such a talk) He knows what it means in its full sense to be moiser nefesh for torah and mitzvos!!
I hope you all join me in wishing him much Koach and gezunt to continue his avoidas hakoidesh for many more years!

Well, as a melamed I wish to bring this subject closer to home.
What about the lack of derech eretz shown to rebbes, teachers, parents or any adult for that matter, shown by the kids of this generation?
Does anyone have any ideas how we can face this “chutspa yasge”?
To quote Winston Churchill – “The best part of being honest is you dont need to have a good memory!”
When lying either in a resume or to a spouse or any other human being, you end up spiraling further and deeper into lies until you reach a dead end – often drowning at the bottom of the sea!
Stay honest, you will only gain in the long run.
This is of course besides the ethical and halachic importance.
No teffilin on Chol Ha’moed:
This comes (as far as I understand) from the ideas that Chol Ha’moed is really Yom Tov, which is patur from Tefilin. The ashkeneizim feel that it is more chol than Mo’ed whereas those who have sefard minhagim hold it is more Mo’ed than chol!
yeshivaguy1: To put the record straight, the reason we dont wear a tallis til after marriage, is that the unmarried would stand out and hopefully encourage them to hurry and be mekayem this mitzvah.
Whether this is applicable nowadays is debatable. but minhag avoiseinu beyodainu and we dont change – al titosh toiras imecha. We find the same with sefaik deyoima, that we keep two days of yomtov even though we have calendars, which is mevatel a mitsva deoiraysah of putting on teffilin.
Lesson: dont change a minhag however wrong you think it is. there is always a mekoir.
I always feel sickened at this time of the year, how the “services” have become so comercialised.
People think they must make a statement by giving money they have/havent got.
I have been to a shul where members put pressure on their peers to raise their donation to the shul. Last year they were pressurising someone who didnt have the money they were making him promise! This is pure “chamas” – a type of gezel. Is it worth a shul staying in existence through funds that are solicited in such a way? I wonder!
sefardim listen to music upto sh’vua sh’chol boi.
If you dont listen, then dont press play.
Like YWN play music on Fri afternoon, when it is shabbos in Eretz Yisroel, and we expect Israelis not to press play because it is shabbos for them but not for you, so too with this. It is assur for you so dont press play. However YWN can play the music for the benefit of those who are sefardim.
Why cant this music be for the sefardim, who only keep shevua shechol boi tisha b’av?
Those who are ashkeneizi should have self control not to press the play button.
Is it not similar to shabbos? When shabbos come in, in E.Y, it is still Fri in USA. The israelis are not mechalel shabbos to listen to music just because YWN are playing it?
