NKM, if you ignore flaws during the engagement because you’re “already committed,” you ought to be committed. It’s not necessarily an engagement breaker, but it must be dealt with. I know of a situation where the girl had the sense to break her engagement to a young man who was totally inappropriate for her (IMHO). She was engaged to a wonderful young man within a year and is now happily married.

Young Israel of Wavecrest and Bayswater is one of several shuls in Bayswater, which is part of Far Rockaway. Young Israels cover a wide section of the spectrum of Orthodoxy. YIWB is towards the right end of the spectrum of Young Israels. The Morah D’asra is Rabbi Eliezer Feuer, son of Rabbi Avraham Chaim Feuer and grandson of Rabbi Gifter ZTL. In terms of opportunities for learning, Bayswater is close to many institutions in the Far Rockaway/Five Towns community.
Alan Dershowitz wrote an article in which he argues that there are lots of areas of Gaza that are not densely populated. It’s on the Gatestone Institute website.
I just googled cornflake zucchini, and found something called faux-fried zucchini chips. They use some Parmesan cheese, but I think you could just leave it out. You can easily crush the cornflakes in a ziplock bag, or you might be able to just take the bag out of the box and smoosh it without ending it.
Obviously, she was invented by a man. That’s why she has no mouth.
I would hope that frum people’s smart phones are 24/6 at worst. How are they more private than computers? People use them in public. Most computer usage is in a private home, office, etc.
I don’t find it hard to believe that he thinks he knows better, but I do think it’s chutzpadik.
eBay or craigslist.
So you’re saying you know what the child needs better than his parents know?

Marbehshalom, your term “halfway bt’s” is ambiguous. My first take was they were only halfway to teshuva. On reflection, I realized you probably meant they were nominally Orthodox to begin with and became fully frum.
You could rewire your refrigerator so that the light stays on. I my fridge, the light is incandescent, so it gives off a lot of heat. If it stayed on, your fridge would be working overtime to negate the extra heat. Maybe some refrigerators use LEDs, where this wouldn’t be much of an issue. In any case, there are things other than the light that are controlled by opening and closing the door.
I’m married. Typically women know at least 48 hours in advance when they will be going to the mikvah. In small communities, mikvahs are always by appointment only.
I live in a community in NYC with hundreds of frum families. The main mikvah is in a nearby area. You wouldn’t want to walk there at night, so we have a neighborhood mikvah for use on Friday night only. Appointments are supposed to be made by Wednesday night. I’m sure that if for some reason a woman can’t make an appointment that far in advance, she will be accommodated.
ZD: That’s a problem?
Goq, if you were truly Scottish, you’d have haggis on your bagel, not butter.
Malbim, how many kosher pizza shops are there in Austin, TX?
To Brooklynites, Austin Street in Forest Hills is OOT.
About the only refrigerators without lights are those little dorm ones. Ordinary modern refrigerators have a switch that affects not only the light, but the self-defrost cycle. That means it’s not enough to unscrew the bulb. You must keep the switch down. I use duct tape, but there is a device sold for this. Leaving the switch down all week is not good for the refrigerator because the self-defrost cycle won’t be triggered and the fridge may ice up and stop working (I know this because I had such a refrigerator). High-end refrigerators are more complicated.
A decent thermos will keep coffee hot from erev Shabbos until Shabbos morning.
“She got offended by him for no reason?” Did she tell you this or are you dismissing her reason as unimportant? If she said there was no reason, she may be covering up the true reason.
What’s because of lack of tznius and colored tablecloths? Problems connecting to the CR?
As a side note, when we use a white tablecloth in the sukkah, it attracts little flying insects that get onto our plates and into our food. When we use a dark tablecloth, we don’t have that problem.
That’s what you get for having a fancy dancy refrigerator. Regular refrigerators don’t have all that stuff and you can just tape the switch.
I just noticed this topic. I have a daughter who is also a CI recipient, so I understand some of the difficulties you’re having. I suggest you get in touch with a counselor who understands deafness. If you’re in or near Brooklyn, I can make a recommendation. I also want to point out that, G-d willing, your situation will improve. My daughter recently married another CI recipient and is very happy.
HaLeiVi, are you related to Ron Popeil?
For tomorrow (and all daytime fasts), get up early and have a filling breakfast. For YK and 9 Av, taper off caffeine for a week or so before the fast to avoid caffeine withdrawal headaches.
I’m not a nag, I’m a motivational speaker.
I guess I should have been clearer. I wasn’t implying that a computer is avoda zara. I was merely responding to rebyidd23’s comment, “It is assur to break something that can be used in a way that is not evil” by pointing out that there are exceptions.
Of course Moshe Rabbeinu didn’t wear a tie. He was Chassidish.
You’re all wrong. The title refers to the rational anthem, not the national anthem.
There are barber shops that advertise perms for payos.
A smartphone is basically a computer. I suspect the OP wouldn’t be happy if the son was watching these movies on somebody else’s computer either.
It’s a chiyuv to destroy an avoda zara or an asheira even if it would make a good doorstop or telephone pole,
Isn’t everybody including the OP using a computer to read the CR?
Frum special ed programs like Ptach pay quite a bit less than public schools. That’s even taking into account that they’re generally part-time. There’s no shortage of special ed teachers these days, so it’s hard to get a decent job.
In the old days, NYS Special Education certification was for all grades. These days, it’s called Students with Disabilities, and you get certification in any of four age ranges. That limits the ages you can work with. So what Ms. Critique said about many P-3 providers being failed EI and SEIT providers wouldn’t hold true for teachers who are only certified in the older groups (EI is birth to three, SEIT is 3-5).
I’d be more concerned about the cigarettes than the minyan.
In NYC, you could do one-on-one as a P-3 provider for $42 per hour. You’re considered self-employed, so you have to pay self-employment tax. You get no benefits. You may not be able to get a full caseload, and you don’t get paid for prep time. So although $42 may sound like a lot (especially to a kollel guy), it’s really not.
| What if you’re a kid and want a good education for yourself?
That’s easy. Drop out of school and spend all your time in the CR.
The mods are a subculture of British youth who wear suits and ride on scooters. As opposed to the rockers, who wear motorcycle jackets and ride on motorcycles.
cherrybim, a 60-second marriage? I can image it: “Ladies and Gentlemen, for the very last time, Mr. and Mrs. Shmerel Goldbergstein.”
The Textword literature anthologies censor out the naughty bits as well as Christian references. One of them includes a somewhat abridged version of A Tale of Two Cities in which they leave out the part about Jerry Cruncher beating his wife (among other things). I don’t know if they abridge/censor works that aren’t public domain.
Interestingly, it’s not just Jewish schools that use Textword. Many Christian schools do too.
Generally, when frum people talk about Queens, they mean KGH, which is the largest frum community in Queens. If you need public transportation, KGH isn’t so great. You have to take a bus to the subway. Kew Gardens, on the other hand, is walking distance to the E, F, J, and Z trains. From FR, you can take the A train, but it’s a long trip to most places (hence the “Far” in “Far Rockaway”).
Double Standard (3 years ago) said KG is cheap. By most people’s standards, it isn’t.
oomis, it could very well be that the other stuff (not the nicotine) that’s in chewing tobacco and snuff is what’s carcinogenic.
A little googling reveals that “the information about nicotine as a carcinogen is inconclusive” (CDC), but there may be other carcinogens in e-cigs. I don’t think anybody disputes the claim that they’re safer than the real thing.
Popa, it takes a father and a mother to make a kid, so each parent can tell the other one to change the diapers and feed the kid. I don’t think the third partner normally does such chores.
Walton157, you married Daddy Warbucks?
My wife has the same name that my mother had — last name, that is.
“1. Immediate and permanent increase to oil prices (from a stable $30 per barrel)”
Surely you jest. Oil prices have swung wildly since 1973. Google “historical oil prices.”
My personal experience with raspberries match what DaasYochid says. I used to grow raspberries in my garden, and I found that they had worms that looked identical to the little white hairs that are part of the berries.
My daughter and son-in-law looked in Ramat Eshkol but couldn’t find anything decent within their budget. They ended up in French Hill, which is apparently attracting frum people who are priced out of Ramat Eshkol.
