philosopher, I think there’s a difference between “violence” and “action.”
Many Jewish novels have a action and conflicts in there (as we all struggle in life), but by the end of the book, the conflict is usually resolved.

Most of the Sherlock Holmes stories are fine, but however be careful as some of the stories have violence or include romance.

The former 8 minute daf by Rabbi Eli Stefansky was not a shiur that read the Gemara. It was a summary shiur made for those who had gone through the daf already and wanted chazara. He originally started the 8 minute daf shiur as a summary to the daf not to replace daf yomi but as a chazara to those who learned the daf already. Someone suggested that he give a full daf yomi shiur and that’s how his full daf yomi shiur was born. He stopped the 8 min daf as it was getting hard for him to prepare for the full daf yomi shiur and a summary shiur as well. He hopes to eventually one day come back to it.
I would think a siyum qualifies as someone who went through the Gemara (word by word) and understood it, even if he did it quickly.
If you do a search for path4life, you’ll get the website of Rabbi Nachum Malinowitz and his shiurim. Among his shiurim, he has daf4life, which is a synopsis of the daf.

I once heard from a mashgiach that when one sees eggs in an ingredients list on a product to not automatically assume that there is no issue with the eggs. There is an issue called ova eggs (I think that’s what he called it), which is eggs found in the body of a chicken after it was killed or slaughtered. These eggs are an issue and that’s why one has to be sure that the product has a hechsher.
Eggs in a carton probably don’t have this issue.

You could look into Rabbi Senter’s yeshiva or Torah Ohr.

This has been debated nearly every year whether here in the CR or in letters submitted to the news sites. What comes out is that one shouldn’t take his mind off of aveilus. Yes, you can learn about the churban in the Gemara, read eicha, etc. Not everyone can do that the whole day (especially women and children). Therefore, there are things that you can do in order to keep your mind on the aveilus-read holocaust books, watch appropriate movie and shiurim that relate to the churban, holocaust or any other tragedy in Klal Yisroel.
In some circles, they feel that it needs to be motivating and organizations invest time and money into doing these videos which motivate and inspire. Therefore they charge for their videos. In order to get people to watch it, they feel they have to put out a trailer so people will want to watch it.
It definitely used to be more simple-no charge for videos and many of them didn’t have trailers.

Rocky-The appreciation of a son-in-law to a father-in-law is very different than the Israeli Government. A father-in-law shows love, care and that’s one of the reasons he does it. It’s not just a deal.
essmeir-unfortunately you are wrong. When I was learning in Eretz Yisroel many years ago, the draft law was starting to be talked about. My Rosh Yeshiva gave a shmuz about it and he said, “Only those who understand the Torah can understand why the chareidim don’t serve in the army.”
If there isn’t full time learning available, where are the Roshei Yeshiva of the next generation going to come from? Where’s Ameilus Hatorah going to come from if there will be no full time learning?

This sounds more theoretical than practical.

It looks like it’s available on nigun music and on spotify.

Haleivi-Wow. I remember those books.
If I remember correctly, the narrator in that book telling the story says that he didn’t know how that crazy basket sword trick was done.

besalel-this thread is actually about a former cr member but if you google “brocha on eclipse” you’ll get a few articles that address this point.

“If you want Abie’s humor there’s a recording he put out called “a time to laugh” he has some good bits in there”
I grew up on that tape. This brings back good memories.

whitecar, I’m not really understanding what you’re asking, as you answered your own question.
“If you’re going to answer that the MMM only alerted after the event and then replayed it on the screen, that would be acceptable, but in one of the episodes, Shnooky actually spoke to the child before playing the song (why does everybody make so much fun of me…).”
It was replayed on the screen a few seconds after it happened,, Shnooky saw what what had happened, decided to send him his thoughts and then spoke to him and said listen.
If you listened to MM4, you would know that the MMM detects after after the fact as they used the MMM to find Charlie and Bruno who had kidnapped the president.

lakewhut, there’s enough hock here without you posting.

I refer you to this thread as it’s the same topic

OVER FIVE YEAR COMMENTS LOST

I’m not sure what those songs are called, but you can check on torahanytime, and if you google rabbi ephraim wachsman podcast you’ll get his podcast on apple podcasts and oother platforms, such as jewish podcasts.

You could contact YWN (from the contact button on the menu) and see if they can help you).
The marketing emails may have come from anywhere. One way I got marketing emails was because I gave to a tzedaka organization online and since then I’ve been bombarded with many tzedaka emails from that platform that was hosting their campaign. Usually there’s a way to unsubscribe from these types of emails on the bottom of the email.

etrog101- google gesher cleveland and you’ll find their website. They are an organization that helps with jobs, housing, government programs etc. so they should be able to help you.
There’s a lot of info and I’m not sure if the coffee room is the place to give over that info. The best thing is to ask someone who lives in cleveland and they can tell you more info, (for example, they can tell you which neighborhood is right for you, which blocks are the better blocks, if cleveland is a right fit for you, schools, shuls etc).
Hatzlacha!

Famous yesid from the baalei mussar-where there’s more kedusha, there’s more tumah.

Not that I don’t agree with you, but there are ways to express certain things and doing it with anger, especially repeating the statement twice without explanation, is probably not the best way to do it.

huju, I do not get involved in Israeli politics but from what I know, it is NOT typical to resign at a time of crisis. At that time, the country needs a leader.

Ask a Rav if joining such a minyan is allowed in chutz laaretz.

I did a google search for it (with hebrew lettering) and it came up on a website beinenu dot com.
