Just interested – why did you ask about the SECOND beis hamikdash in particular?

If you are doing it without noticing, then you could be (I’m not sure) ?????, which according to some Poskim is no problem at all on ???. (Similar to somebody who leans on the wall and turns off the lights; it isn’t a problem at all)

Booo!

Hello – that story about the basketball is true, and is printed in one of R’ Chaim Kanievsky teshuvos seforim

The Vilna Shas definitely looks the best on the shelf. The Oz VeHadar have some meforshim at the back that the Vilna doesn’t have (although every Mesechta has different meforshim). The Vilna also has some very useful additions, such as “Likutei Avnei Miluim” or “Chidushei Ramban”.

(Actually, the Talman {Kiddushin} has included a remarkable likut of Achronim (such as Mishne Lemelech, Shaar Hamelech, R’ Akiva Eiger shu”t, Minchas Chinuch etc.), which is excellent, but the rest of the print is unclear, and they haven’t got the same range of meforshim.)

Firstly, a friend of mine was “doing group” last year, and didn’t have a story, and he made one up (Right/wrong… not for now). One of the brats in his group butted in and told him “you said it wrong” in the middle. Hilarious.

There is a game called “Eidim Zomemim” (even though technically the name is wrong) where two guys go out and make up a story of some crime. Then they have to come in seperately and they get cross examined. If they are caught contradicting, then they lose the point.

(After two weeks playing this, they will come up with strategies, such as “Say “no” to any yes/no question” beforehand… gets more interesting weekly)

My favourite day of the year!

To all you guys above: Paranoid?

There is an actor called Rupert Grint who is a total wierdo (If any of you know Ron Weasley, he acts that character and is the living impression of him) – And he drives an ice-cream van BUT DOESN’T SELL ICE CREAM, because “its cool when you play the music and the kids come running and you zoom past them”. Cruelty.

Beninguman – The Maternal-only ????? is similar to the Briker Rav’s ??? about ??????? – The Ramba”m writes that before ??? ???? there was no ??????? involved in marriage. Even those who KEEP the ???? would NOT be able to be ???? a lady, even using the ????, because there was no such ???? as ???????. Similarly, before ??? ????, the ‘relation’ship of the Fathers family was not considered relations ????? ????, even for somebody who keeps the ????.

Click on “Contact” tab on the top.

The famous ???”? which says that they only kept the ???? inside ??? ????? will not even answer the question, because they married their siblings while living in ??? ?????.

The ???”? explains that they kept the ???? even outside ??? ?????, and the way they married (I think he is talking about ???? marrying two sisters) was because of the principle ?? ??????? ???? ????? ??? – A ger who enters Judaism from any other religion loses any relations he had and is considered a newborn child. The ???? uses this to say that ???? can marry their siblings (at least ?????????).

The ???? only kept the ???? using the concept of ????, since they as ??? ?? were not ?????. Since their whole ???? was as ????, they only kept the ????? inasmuch as their ????, which therefore told them they were not related to their siblings.

I once heard a ??? that since ????? before ??? ???? was only maternal, the ????? would marry the relations that were only paternal, and they DIDN’T marry their own twins, but rather each others twins. (This is how ????? married ????; see ???? ????? ?? ????? in ???? ????)

What I wonder is: If each ??? was born with a twin, what happened with ???? and ????? Was ???? born with a twin girl (because she was originally intended to turn out male) and was ???? born was a twin boy?

Sam2 – yekke2: People should be aware before listening to the 4th track of that CD that they use drums in it (or so I was told).

I have listened to it many times before, and I think (if I can remember correctly) that the beats there are performed with the mouth and not from any instrument at all. Although you are right, as discussed on other threads, that even such music is less accepted than plain vocal harmonies.

I’ll check it up, bl”n, but I am convinced there is no real music.

Sorry, Shopping613, if you are reading this. I have nothing against you personally, nor do I have anything against most of your posts – in fact I quite enjoy some of the things you write.

I was just complaining about the SUC business, which went a bit OTT. But otherwise, it would be great to see you back!

AKA Pella is very goyish.

Maccabeats – quite goyish, but some very nice songs which are not goyish at all.

Berry Weber – Farbreng Vocal Edition quite chassidish.

Chazak Productions – (Shabbos Tish, Shehasholoim Sheloi) quite chassidish, but very enjoyable.

The Chevra – extremely professional, not chassidish but not at all goyish.

Kol Zimra – all different styles; give it a try.

Lev Tahor is great; great hits sung in acapella.

Yosef Moshe Kahane “Chassidishe Oitzros” is also very well produced, but Chassidish to the core.

Yochi Briskman made an acapella albulm called “Hamakala”, but I haven’t listened to it.

(See also Mona Rosenblum “Philharmona Vocal”; Meshorerim “Ymei Sefira”; Dudi Kalish; Beatachom)

I think YBC have an acapella albulm which is supposed to be brilliant. Miami have an albulm called “Around the Campfire” which is fairly good.

Pinkdynamite – im into strange stuff lyk that 2

Careful what you say about these things. We wouldn’t ?”? want Shopping613 to get insulted in any way. She may take this personally!

I think I would only marry a woman who would be open to my constructive criticism of her cooking/baking. I don’t want to eat bad food my whole life lol.

Turning 13, 20, 30, 40, etc.�Shas Ratzon?

*coughDOUBLESTANDARDcoughcough*

What is the double standard – The “Why would you ask for something you can’t get” or the whole critical business?

It seems to be a ?????? what the relationship was between Rochel and Leah – the Seder Oilam (I think) says they were paternally related but maternally not.

I know, however, that the ????”? brings a ???? that they were twins – because ??? in ??????? learns from ??? that one must not marry a younger sister before an older sister. The ????”? asks – why do we learn from ???s trick – we should learn that it is allowed from the fact that ???? was willing to do it!?

He answers that ???? agreed that one would not be allowed to marry a younger sister before the older sister. However, ???? was going ?????? that the younger twin is older than the older twin, because ??”? says in ???? ?????? that when you have a container, the first thing out is the last one in. Therefore, ???? married ??? because she was a younger twin.

1) I saw R’ Chaim Kanievsky (??? ????) brings a ???? that says that ??? and ??? were not sisters from the mother, they were only paternally related. He says that therefore ???? could marry two sisters, because before ??? ???? there was no such thing as ???? ?? ???.

2) The ???”? in ???? ???? says that the ???? were not ????? to keep the ????, and if they wanted to keep it, they had to keep it as if they were ????, and ???? have a din of ?? ???????? ???? ????? ??? and therefore in-as-much as he was ?????, they were not related to each other.

3) The famous ???”? – they only kept the ???? in ??? ?????. (which is a bit shver in ???”? ????? ?????)

4) Before ??? ????, there was no such thing as ??????? (See ???”? ??? ? ????? ??’ ?), and therefore it wasn’t possible to become assur with ???? ???. (Even if they kept the ????, there was no ???????).

See ????”? ????? ?”? who proves from ???? that there was no ????? which come through marriage before ??? ???? except for ????? ???.

I spoke in school about graduation and it was something on these lines:

What is the point in a graduation party? Is there anything we can take out of it…?

A graduation is also called a ????? ?????. The ???? of ????? we see by Shmini Atzeres, where HKB”H says ??? ??? ???????.

Shmini Atzeres has no mitzvos. The reason why is because we run through Elul, the Yomim Noraim and Succos, reaching ??????? in ???? ? and ???? ?. In life, we run through higher and higher, but if one does not stop to think, stop to internalize everything, it all will fly out of the window. We need one day to stop and take everything we achieved through the last months and get us ready for the coming year.

(Blah blah…)

The same is true – we have raced our way through school/Yeshiva… we need one day to stop and take all the lessons that we have had over our lives and prepare for our future lives.

(something on these lines, and then I tied in Hakoras Hatov somehow, don’t remember how, and said a nice Moshol about Hakoras Hatov, ending off by thanking all the teachers and our parents for everything…)

For example the mountains surrounding ?? ???? that we know were arguing over which of them should be the one the ???? would be given on? (Perhaps we can suggest that once ??? ????? arrived there the others were flattened?).

Doesn’t the Medrash say that those mountains came from over the world, not locally from Sinai?

Derech HaMelech has it correct according to Rav Moshe Feinstein, ZT”L. But not necessarily “out loud”, just those things which need a Minyan should be said Sephard.

I saw R’ Moshe zt”l about a month ago, and I seem to remember that he says that all the things that require a Minyan should be said Sefard, but he also says that Psukei Dzimra (which does not require a minyan) should be said in the nussach of the shul, and only if one would get mixed up should one change to his own nusach, and in that case one should be careful not to say it loud.

It doesn’t anywhere say in the ???? an issur mefurash for ????. (It will not be worse than a ???? ?? ????? which is a ?????? ???????, although I think ??”? midrabanan assur).

You may have ????? ???? ???, and the same issur that there is to be ???? ??????.

?? ???? ??? ? ??? ???? ????? ????
