For sure! 😉

oomis – Charlie hasn’t been around for a while; this is an old thread. You can find him if you look around the internet though.

Um, because that’s relevant to Pesach? It doesn’t say “non-chametz” guide.

Chacham is not really Joseph. I can vouch for him.

It’s a matter of perspective. Everything can be “shver” if you have that outlook in life.

Wolf is going to hell. He doesn’t deserve a thread.

hehe u just got twinkle twinkle out of my head cinderella

How about this: Passover is the holiday of freedom. The Torah that true freedom is acquired by someone who is not a slave to their baser instincts. How do we achieve this great freedom? By learning to submit ourselves to… restrictions! ??? ?? ?? ????? ??? ?? ????? ?????.

in that case a guy who went on a date went missing. just like the guy who went to catch fish went fishing

Happy Cranniversary. I’ll be two in April.

lol i wonder if that would work

We ought to punish trolls with flogging.

And of course it is at the expense of learning. Forget quality, let’s say the quality is the same. Which married guy is able to learn three full sedarim a day?

Nice! Now you can have bedikas chametz sheilos and learn the sugya in Pesachim and laugh when Rava says ??? ????? ????? ???! I always do.

Nice to see you. For the sake of not hijacking your thread, I’ll say beis.

Umm… You couldn’t make up a reason to go along with that assumption?

avhaben – look up ^

Feif – I echo what popa is said, though I would add that if you want to help but want less spam then maybe a good idea would be to notify PCS in Lakewood of exactly what your company is looking for (since you said it’s located in central Jersey), and they’ll send over the resumes of people who are qualified and need jobs.

The question is what do you mean by hashgacha pratis? The way everyone seems to be using it is some kind of concept that “everything works out in the end,” like a movie or a fairy tale.

But the literal meaning has nothing to do with that. It just means that there is someone watching over our personal lives. That we aren’t just blades of grass which can be trampled on without a din v’cheshbon; rather everything that happens, happens with an accounting. If everything should “work out” in the end, that might be evidence of hashgacha, but if it doesn’t, it is not evidence of a lack of hashgacha. For even if there is hashgacha, it may not have worked out because I didn’t deserve it to – which means that because of hashgacha pratis it didn’t work out, not despite it.

Point is, anywhere we find that Hashem is focused on an individual, it is called hashgacha pratis, regardless of how flowery and perfect the story ends. So to answer the OP: There is a clear and obvious hashgacha pratis in the lives of pretty much every “main character” in Tanach.

I find that the older children are usually the biggest reshaim.

LOL. Totally agree.

In many cases I believe that lakewoodwife’s point is actually the reason for this, because it backfires, as cinderella taynehed on that other thread.

always runs –

Wow, and hatzlacha with everything. Life should only get better for yourself and your kids from here.

Lol. Toi’s a cool dude.

There are those who differentiate between photographers and the other professions mentioned, because his job is specifically to focus on the women’s face and make sure she looks good.

This is an important point.

Logician –

I don’t think MiddlePath is saying that he doesn’t ever feel pain. He’s not a stone. And you can’t feel joy if you can’t feel pain. He is saying, if I am understanding correctly, that he reacts in a positive way, even to things which might be painful. He has a perspective on pain, which makes it something which isn’t bad even though it hurts. That is an amazing thing that we should all strive for.

According to the Rambam (admittedly not a popular stance), biology would probably be included in Ma’aseh Bereishis, a very high level of Torah.
