ujm-I learned in a yeshiva where both Roshei yeshiva were talmidim of R’Aharon Kotler Zatzal and the accredited english program was very good.
So it’s not a shita of R’Aharon.I’m not sure if you want an answer from other CR posters or YWN. If you want an answer from YWN, use the Contact tab on top right as the mods here have said that they have nothing to do with the news reported on YWN.
Coffee- He actually said that they were roommates with the older graders but at the same time, there was a boundary called shtultz (As I wrote, I was in a yeshiva that did not have shtultz and therefore I didn’t have this derech. This is how he explained that derech)
Always-My rebbe attended a very prestigious modern day yeshiva.I went to a yeshiva that did not have shtultz but I had a rebbe who had gone to a yeshiva with shtultz. We asked him once to explain it. He went thru it (a little lengthy to post here) and at the end of it he said that if a 9th grader would come to ask a 12th grader a question in learning or in hashkofah, the 12th grader would answer him warmly and cordially, being friendly. If he would come over to shmuz with him, he would “shtultz him out.” This made the 9th graders realize that the 12th graders are not there to be their friend but to help them out, to help them grow and looking out for them.
R’Chaim Mintz Shlita in the book “Ask the Rabbi” writes that there is no reason to think that there is life on other planets as Hashem created the world for us to grow close to Him and we can accomplish that mission without looking at other planets (You can look in the book for the full answer).
Is it on the gavra or the cheftza
es poelt un a chalosThese threads are getting ridiculous. There is no chiyuv to start a new thread. If you have nothing to say, don’t make up a ridiculous thing (for lack of a better word, stupid) just in order to start a thread. Better that there be no new topics than have troll threads.
Is there a reason why you’re reviving a troll thread from 10+ years ago?
I thought it was in the medrash that it was an apple tree. I’ll have to look into that more. Sorry
yserbius-Some say the Eitz Hadaas was an apple tree
Is Kirby Card still around? They had good rates many years ago
This sounds more like an issue of Shalom more than who is right or wrong. Even if you’re right, machlokes isn’t worth it. I would suggest that you try to make shalom before fanning the flame.
Someone I know asked a Rosh yeshiva about the minhag of not saying tachanun from after isru chag sukkos thru Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan. He said that it’s a chassidishe minhag and chassidim don’t want to “drop their hat” (put their head down for tachanun) so they look for ways to get out of tachanun.
Usually it means that the thread or the comment is by someone who is bored and just having fun
Sam, I don’t know if you tried that but if you did, then you got different results than me as I tried and I couldn’t find any info on him whatsoever. I even tried switching the spelling to Vakspress but that didn’t give any info either.
When I was in elementary school (I think it was 5th grade), a kid in my class asked the Rebbe if Ruach Hakodesh still exists nowadays. His answer was “If you know what Ruach Haodesh really is, you wouldn’t be asking that question.”
Leyzer, sorry that I left out the hey. I assumed everyone would know what I was referring to. (In case you didn’t realize, I was referring to the chumash from the Netziv. It could be you are referring to something else)
Zei mir mochelWhen the letter came out a few weeks ago, the oilam in shul asked the Rav of the shul (a major talmid chacham) why is this Chumash any different than the Emek Davar, as he also gives a pshat in Rashi. People were also wondering why this Chumash was any different than the Artscroll Rashi Chumash. The Rav answered that they ruined the tzura of the page. The tzura is Chumash and then Rashi underneath it. The pshuto shel mikra chumash first put the pasuk, then their pshat and then Rashi after that. The Emek Davar and Artscroll placed their pshat after Rashi. They didn’t take away the tzura of the Chumash.
Avira-you’re probably referring to the yeshiva Lakewood East (BMG of Lakewood in E. Israel) run by Rav Shwartzman, Shlita. I think what Sam was referring to was that there were several people in Lakewood that are starting/started 2 Lakewood style communities in EY.
Yabia Omer, it’s for people that travel to Eretz Yisroel and they need to catch up on leining.
I haven’t been in EY for many years, but when I was there, I know there was a minyan in Zichron Moshe and also in Minyan Avreichim (I think that was on Ohalei Yosef, near R’Dovid Soloveitchik’s yeshiva)
If you choose a topic and start us off, you’ll have a chance. Otherwise, it’s not going to happen.
There’s a Hilton Garden Inn on Rt 70. There’s also a Marriot Courtyard in Wall Township, about 25 min out of Lakewood
scared driver delight, it sounds like you never even learnt public speaking to begin with. If you did, you would know why it’s so important and why it’s an important skill to have. I’ll give you an example. Look at Obama. He has some crazy views. However he has influenced thousands of Americans that his way is the right way. How? Through the way he speaks. The speeches that he has given has influenced thousands of Americans that he is the right man to run the country.
I’ll give you another example. In the Book “Rabbi Sherer,” it describes how Rabbi Moshe Sherer zatzal was able to influence political figures to change the law so it coincided for halacha and so it would be better for the Jewish people. How did he do that? Through public speaking. He was an amazing speaker and was able to influence political figures that the Jewish people are important and you need to accommodate them.
For us, public speaking is relevant as well. If someone got up and couldn’t speak in complete sentences you wouldn’t even listen to him. People would yell at him to get off the podium. If there are non jews there it could be a chillul Hashem that this person doesn’t know how to speak. (If there are only jews there, it could be an even greater chillul Hashem.)
I have no idea if you’re a man or a woman, but how do you expect to say a dvar torah if you have no idea how to speak?
Therefore, public speaking is very important-to know how to influence people and also if you want people to listen to you, then you have to learn how to speak so people can follow you and listen to what you have to say.
I think they’re back in town, because they started tweeting simchas again
It seems that I’m the only one who heard this: Several years ago, BMG was thinking about changing the freezer to attempt to fix the shidduch crisis. They wanted to make a rule that you only could go to the freezer if you were 22 and a half, Pesach time. After that, you wouldn’t have to go through the freezer. One of the Lakewood Roshei yeshiva went and spoke to one of the Gedolei Hador in Eretz Yisroel about this idea. The gadol told him that the idea wouldn’t work because it wouldn’t stop anyone. If they didn’t want to go through the bmg system, they would just go somewhere else.
Lior, it’s a davar shaino miskaven and also it might not necessarily happen. (There’s an igros Moshe that talks about the motor running which was quoted in a previous post) In the Shabbos Kitchen on the last page, R’ Simcha Bunim Cohen shlita writes that R’ Moshe told him that you can open the fridge even while the motor is off.
They’re probably on vacation. They haven’t tweeted any simchas since Tuesday, and I checked on the website and there have been several simchas since then
Moshe kapoyer, these questions are a matter of opinion, so the best thing is to ask your mentor these questions
Malbim, I think you should look for another city. Maybe, somewhere in montana or wyoming. 🙂
Malbim, I don’t mean to sound mean or anything like that, but are you trying to get everyone to move to austin? You started 3 threads about it!
and that doesn’t include the deleted ones
RebYidd23, it could be that a fridge that the door opens without a light exists. But I don’t think they’re so common.
Sam2- Usually the switch that turns off the light is right when the door enters the frame, so you’d have to be careful about that
TBONTB, Mod 29-Thank you
A friend of mine once forgot to disconnect it before shabbos. What he ended up doing is that his wife put the baby in front the fridge and the baby closed it by herself.
I looked this up-I believe the best idea is to get a goy to close the door.
Mazel Tov to yeshivaguy45 on his engagement!
I used to like jolly ranchers (now I still like them but not as much as I used to)
Twizzlers
barbecue chips (especially pringles)
I don’t think it was right of him to text it like that. He should have told the shadchan. However, I don’t know the full story. He didn’t want to answer her phone calls, or he was just busy? Maybe something happened and he wasn’t able to pick up the phone whenever she called. Even if he was deliberately not answering her, he still should have gone to the shadchan (and if he really was yeshivish, he wouldn’t have ended it that way. He would have gone to his rebbe who most probably would not have told him to text it.)
147, It could be you’re in Eretz Yisroel. Tu b’Av is on Monday.
I did research on this online just now to find out when chodosh starts. According to an article on the star-k website, the halachic problem is whatever is planted after the 4th day of pesach. That’s called the spring crop and it doesn’t hit the market until the end of the summer.
PBA, if this isn’t a troll thread, (which apparently the other posters are taking it like that) yoshon doesn’t apply from after pesach until sukkos because the the issur of yoshon is only until the new crop is harvested which is sefiras haomer, which literally means the cutting of the omer (bundles of wheat). Once that happens, there’s no issur of omer. The family didn’t literally say we keep it half the year. They said we don’t worry about it
Little Froggie, sometimes people ask for other people. Another reason could be that she has 2 names. It could be anything. It really doesn’t matter why she needs to know.
DY- On Shabbos, you’re supposed to use things that you wouldn’t use during the week. (I have a feeling this is a troll thread)
I looked this up in the back of an Artscroll siddur: ?????? ???,?? ??? ? ?????? ??…
Yossi z, Mazel Tov!
Several weeks ago, I listened to a shiur on cd from R’ Yitzchak Sorotzkin shlita on Kedushas Beis Haknesses and not speaking during davening. He said over several stories about this. One story was about an individual who’s daughter had cancer, lo aleinu. The doctors had told him that there was no hope for his daughter. A little while later, the man met another Yid and this yid told him that he had a similar problem and he went to a rebbe and the rebbe told him to be mekabel not to talk during davening. He said after several weeks of taking on the kabbala he went back to the doctor and there was no trace of the sickness left. This man heard the story and he took on to be mekabel not to talk during davening and his daughter was healed.
No, we don’t know why things in this world happen. But we can take on extra zechuyos and those zechuyos can fight for us.
From what I know, Rav Nechemia Goldberg lives in Eretz Yisroel. I googled Rav Nechemia Gold berg and I found a previous thread about this: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/smicha-test
Mazel Tov!
R’ Shlomo Heiman was telling them that why are you watching a game like that and it’s better not to waste your time on such a thing. That’s why he was poking fun at it.
DY, I agree with you. I personally know of someone who was smoking and it led to drugs.He was caught and expelled from his yeshiva. This guy couldn’t find anywhere to go, and ended up in a yeshiva for off the derech guys. Today he’s not frum. Does that mean that the rebbeim who expelled him are responsible? Does that mean that they shouldn’t have expelled him? No! He was doing something against yeshiva policy and disrupting other bochurim.
I also know someone who was starting to go off the derech in yeshiva. He was talking to girls and skipping seder. Then slowly his life started changing. He stopped talking to girls as much and started learning more. Then his cell phone got taken away. That was a big disappointment for him and he started going back to the way he was before. He eventually left yeshiva and went to a drop out yeshiva and went downhill from there. (I haven’t seen him for awhile, but I heard he’s getting back on track.)Does this mean that the Rebbeim were wrong for doing something like that? No! They were doing something that was against the policy of yeshiva and it was disrupting other bochurim. (This bochur had several friends and so the Rebbeim knew that his cell phone was disrupting others.)
zehavasdad, I know burning out can happen. I have a friend who snapped because he was learning too much. I know what it’s like. However there are ways how to deal with it. If you’re in that situation, you should talk to a mashgiach, or a rebbe who understands you. Don’t decide something like that on your own.
jbaldy22, in this case you’re right. I concur with that. My point was that rebbeim do understand sports, more than you think they do.
