You can check out the nightly dvar torah thread. Additionally, here’s another dvar torah.

The Pasuk says ????? ?????? ???????? ???????? ?????? ?????????????. Rashi brings down the Medrash that says some say this pasuk is for good and some say it’s for bad. The meforshim who say it’s for bad say that he was a tzaddik in his dor but in the dor of Avraham Avinu he wouldn’t have been anything.

R’ Moshe Shternbuch Shlita in Sefer Taam V’daas asks, why does this mean bad, he was a tzaddik in his own dor, that’s good enough! What do we have to other generation? R’ Shternbuch answers that Noach would have been a tzaddik in a dor of Tzaddikim and forsure in dor of tzaddikim. But in the dor of Avraham Avinu, he wouldn’t be considered anything. Avraham Avinu had the middah of chesed. Noach didn’t have this middah and wouldn’t be considered anything in the dor of Avraham Avinu.

Maybe this is why Noach had to spend a year in the ???? doing chesed by feeding the animals.

There was a story that happened in Williamsburg about 40 years ago. There was a Yungerman who was very sick. He went around to different Rebbes and got many brachos. Baruch Hashem, he had a refua shelaim. Each circle of chassidim were trying to figure out which rebbe did the mofeis. One circle said their rebbe did it, another circle said their rebbe did it, etc. They went to the Satmar Rebbe and asked him, which rebbe did the mofeis. The sSatmar Rebbe answered that In Shamayim, it depends on how many chassidim said their rebbe did it. So the rebbe that had the most chassidim saying that their rebbe did it was the one that did the mofeis. But then the Satmar Rebbe said, “If you want to know the truth who did it, it was the Ribono Shel Olam, and He doesn’t have that many chassidim who say He did it.”

I’m not choshed anybody,(It’s none of my business) but what I don’t understand is how anybody could have posted on shabbos to begin with if it has to be approved by the mods anyway. When I turn on my computer after Shabbos, I assume that all the posts are due to the time change in other places (EY, England, etc.).

I wasn’t here for eclipse’s last surprise goodbye party, so here is the real surprise goodbye party.

ikno, I heard the non Jewish version of that joke. I like your version better. The non Jewish version is that there are 3 men waiting in the hospital waiting for their wives to give birth. The nurse walks out and says to the first man, “Congratulations, your wife gave birth to twins!”

He said, ” That’s fuuny, I work for the Minnesota Twins.”

Several minutes later, the nurse walks out again and says to the second man, “Congratulations, your wife gave birth to triplets!”

He said, That’s funny, I work for the 3M company.” (That’s the company that makes scotch tape.)

The third guy starts going insane, moaning and groaning. “I work for 7up!”

crazybrit- Why is it that people say they ‘slept like a baby’ when babies wake up like every two hours?

A friend of mine once told me once when he didn’t have a good night. “I slept like a baby. I woke up every hour and cried.”

It’s not a big deal why. Usually it’s because they have something to say and they forget that they have food in their mouth.

This has not been updated since the last time I updated it which was a month and a half ago.

Here’s a Dvar Torah for Succos.I saw this several years ago and I found it very inspiring. It’s from Rabbi Shmuel Brazil.

Let us take this interpretation a step further. Rashi brings the Chazal that bakol is gematria ben 52 referring to the fact that Hashem blessed Avraham with a son. So we now see a further connection between the mitzvah of succah and the beracha of having a son, specifically Yitzchak. What is this new connection?

the month of Tishrei those clouds returned to Am Yisrael. This is the reason why Succos is in Tishrei.

According to the Gaon, Succos represents the Yom Tov that displayed that our teshuva was accepted. The Bnei Yissaschar writes that true teshuva only applies to Yidden and not to the goyim. The reason being because there is a halacha that states that a father can forgive [be mochail]

Its muttar

pixelate, you’re missing something on the other side, shlepping.

yekke2 the answer to a)the difference is that you’re on it and now you took part in something. c)-I was wondering the same thing I asked several people, no one really knew. d)I was wondering the same thing. A rebbe of mine told me R’ Eliashiv Zt”l’s talmid R’ Dovid Morgenstern Shlita explained it to R’ Eliashiv, and that’s how R’ Eliashiv knew. My rebbe told me there’s a place in Yerushalyim that deals with these shailos called The Jerusalem Technological Institute. I tried googling it I couldn’t find it.

This hits the famous shaila of ksiva on a digital screen. The camera is recording every movement and that would be a shaila of kosev because it’s stored in its considered as if it’s written down and it’s would be assur to do according to R’ Eliashiv Zt”l which Sam2 mentioned. (Interesting heter, Sam2 that makes sense.) Other poskim are maikel for several reasons.

Shopping, I advise you and everyone else who thinks a burka should be worn to look at Gial Manolson’s book on Tznius, Outside Inside. Among other things, it explains why Jewish women don’t dress like muslims.

For meals, you can make chicken and rice, Gluten free pasta (there is such a thing.) You can also have quinoa as a side dish. You can also go to the store and get ideas. I don’t know where you live, but if there’s a whole foods market or a trader joe’s near you, you can go there for ideas.

As a side note,I didn’t even know you can buy xanthan gum. The only way I know about it is by seeing it on ingredients lists on packages.

HakunaMatada- If you’re asking them mechila even if it’s something that you don’t remember, how is that any different than something you do remember?

I have a friend who doesn’t believe in asking people mechila because everyone says tefila zaka, and in tefila zaka you say you’re mochel everybody. However, i heard b’shem the Chofetz Chaim that you shouldn’t rely on that because not everyone has time to say it (which is why in machzorim they have that paragraph inserted earlier).

Burnt Steak- T hope you’re joking.

Look in Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim Siman Reish Pey Vav Seif Daled and in the Mishna Berura.

a lot of shuls and organizations have an email list.

Being Real yous should know that there are girls out there who are interested in marrying guys who are working because they don’t want to be the only one who’s dependent on money. At the same time they respect Limud Hatorah and they want someone who’s Kovea Itim Latorah and he values Torah.

golfer, No I’m not offended in the slightest. Isn’t that the word? Maybe it’s yoke

notpicker you started two threads!

I’ll repeat myself here

The truth of the matter is that it’s not based on age. It depends on when you mature. For some people it’s 18-19 (most boys not) 21,22,23,24 etc. Even if you’re expected to, it won’t change anything. It all depends on how mature you are. I know several people who got married young. One got divorced a year later. Another one I know who got married young is still married bli ayin hara. How do you expect to get guys to mature faster? They can’t go to EY any earlier. (That’s a whole discussion in itself.) Everyone has their own maturity level. I don’t think it really depends on age.

nitpicker you can’t do that. You started it, stay in it!

a)Boys want to stay in learning longer before putting on the yolk of marriage, and with marriage comes parnasa. b) mentally and physically boys aren’t ready at 18. There are skills you need to learn before marriage. For girls they mature faster. But however most boys mature at a slower rate.

If you’re not joking, then I’ll tell you what the problem is. I’m sure that are tons of threads about this, but I’ll say it here anyways. Boys usually aren’t ready at 18. Marriage involves alot of responsibility. Most buys aren’t ready to take on that responsibility at that age. Not even chassidim get married at that age. Chassidim are usually 20 when they look to get married. That’s that culture. But in the litvishe world, most boys aren’t ready at that age. Even if you want to train boys to be ready at that age, however both mentally and physically they won’t be ready yet. They also would have to worry about parnasa even if your parents are supporting and at a young age like that most boys aren’t capable of that. In my opinion the way to solve the shidduch crisis is to continue marrying closer to your age. Marrying younger won’t work to solve the crisis right now anyways.
