    a rebbe of ours showed us some ‘kmeyos’ [amulets] written by R’ Yonasan Eibershitz/R’ Yackov Emden [one of the two, i can’t remember which one], which had kabbalistic words written all over, written around a Magen Dovid.

    I have seen the same from photocopies of the Vilna Gaon’s writtings, with Magen Dovids on it.

    Then again, I can’t remember where either of them came from.

    RE A Man cooking at home and changing diapers:

    “I have to give you a source for a pasuk? It says lo yilbash. We know that it includes anything which is normally done by women. That includes dieing hair, carrying a weapon (for a woman) and so on.” [Moshe Rose, years ago]

    — You don’t need to give a source for a posuk. Just make sure you have a source that it includes anything which is normally done by women – I do not belive that a man cooking at home is violation of the Torah.

    Heres another example. Rav Eliyashiv holds that its assur for a woman to drive. Why? Lo Yilbash. The S”A says a man isnt allowed to look in a mirror. Why? Lo Yilbash. Anything that a woman does regular is part of Lo Yilbash. That includes cooking at home.

    Find a source for that please. Most things said in the name of Moron R’ Elyashiv Shlit”a were never said. How do you know he paskened like that? I have a proof he never said that. R’ Akiva Eiger paskens clearly ??”? ??’ ??”? that the Halacha is decided on the social norm. It is perfectly normal for a woman to drive.

    And also: The ???? of not looking into the mirror is also dependant on the norms. The ????? ????? ???? {and apparently the ???, although i have never seen it} paskens that it is 100% muttar in a place where it is the normal thing to do. In our generation, it is very normal for men to look in the mirror.

    And, as work moms become more common, it is equally growing to have the husband cooking. DEFINITELY no ?? ????.

    [most yeshiva guys in the world cook- although that may not have a shem cooking.]

    I don’t understand the ????: I am currently learning ???? ??????, and in ??? ?? ?? ?? the ???? says: ??? ??? ??? ????? ???? ??? ??? ?????: Women are for ornamental purposes only; Women are for having kids.

    The ???? also says [can’t remember were; it is quoted by the ??? ????? in ????? ????? ????? about a certain ????? made by the wife of one of the ??????]: A woman should go back to her sewing — i.e. woman are not meant to think.

    ??? ?????? ?”?. ????? ? ???? ? –> Women are lazy [and will lie to say they did things even though they didn’t, e.g. ????? ???].

    I noticed when i was in school and took my English A Level, the ‘Language and Gender’ section was full of this reid, and we noticed = every study made to show how language is biased against non-males [femails, for those who allow the word to be used] = was made by women. Not a single such study was made by a man. Figures, no???

    There is a ???? in ????? – I cannot remember exactly where – which speaks about davening in shorts [which was definitely not the accepted thing in those days], yet the only problem defined is ???? ?????, that a guy in shorts cannot be ?”?. It sounds like just davening in shorts is not even a problem..

    shuli –

    so lets all put on a streimel and bekitche and lets see what happens…

    Did you not read the study? ‘Let’s see what happens’ – That is quite clearly negligence – the study has proven that it WILL have an effect on you – denying it and trying is simply mockery. Of course it will affect you, and then you are lost… unless you wear normal clothing for two months afterwards!!!

    There are about 16 threads about looks in shidduchim [Just in the titles; i don’t know how many are mentioned in the threads].

    I haven’t counted, but there are about 788 threads on qualities to look for, what to look for, what not to look for, what to notice and what not to notice, what is a RED FLAG and what is not, how to see this, how to see that…

    More threads: Dating etiquette, what to do on a date, what do you do when he… what do you do when she… what to eat, what to drink how to go home, how to carry on…

    Should i stop… should i go for a second date. I like her. I don’t like her. What should i do? I’m not sure…

    There are better boys than girls. There are better girls than boys. Older guys… older girls… which is worse… Older guys marrying younger girls… older girls marrying younger guys…

    Marrying a gerrer… marrying a ger… marrying a BT… dating a modern guy… coloured shirts… jeans… ashkenzi v sephardi… sephardi vs. ashkenazi….

    Funny stories… inspirational stories… worst date ever… proposal stories… best date ever… more stories…

    shadchan… no shadchan… heimish/chassidish shadchan… knowing both parties… amateur shadchanim… suggesting your own shidduch

    parents control… parents don’t get involved… mothers caring about looks… mothers of the girl… mothers of the boy…

    is he going to go into learning… short term… long term… working… what does he want to work as… shonoh rishona…

    compromise… make do with the best there is… don’t let yourselves be cheated… don’t sell yourselves cheap… dream date… nobody is the same…

    yenitngyenta:

    1) He can knock on the door. He cannot if the water is going to ruin the entire room outside; once the plug is out he can bang on the door so that the guys will hear him.

    2) The servants will come in after some time like they usually do, especially if they don’t hear anything from him. Not if he drowns, they won’t.

    3) Thirdly, even if he cannot get out – at least it answers the question, unlike the horses one where you need to solve the problem without answering the question!!

    SayIDidIt – Is it really a true story? I found it extremely interesting, but i also thought that the entire second half of the book is irrelevant and boring. Although the fact that she marries her brother afterwards is quite cool.

    apushatayid – There are some books written by Riva Pomerantz – not for teenage boys, i can tell you, but i know my mother and sisters love them . Green Fences [serialized in the Mishpacha], Breaking Point and the like. I’ll try get a full list for you.

    For teenage guys – i loved Yair Weistock’s books. Every one of them is totally different. Calculated Risk is good, The Gordian Knot is superbly written with a brilliant plot and totally original. Borrowed Time is interesting – i enjoyed it a lot, and the whole book is without guns and spies… The Time Bomb was a good read, but the plot was ridiculous.

    The Link, by Nachman Seltzer, is good for teens, and is slightly better than the sequel The Network.

    One really good novel was THE WILL. Very long, but otherwise fantastic!!!

    I don’t really get it. Why is that better than Facebook?

    And, how will you get the ID of the person you want to date [unless it is a virtual marriage you are planning] – I remember once a guy was complaining that he didn’t have enough money to fly to a wedding [his brother’s?] in Israel, and two posters offered to donate $100 each towards his airfare – and as far as i could tell from the posters, the YWN CR Mods didn’t pass on the details. Why should they here? I post knowing that nobody can find out my true identity…
