While Munkacz was not more than fifty percent Jewish, the largest group (48% according to the census of 1921) of the town was.
Lol 🙂
That’s why I ignore these threads.
I think OneOfMany gets it and she’s having a good laugh on the other side of the screen at all of us trying to explain it.
Heh heh. Perhaps.
Does it?
I don’t think it shows they are dumb. This is a certain kind of corny humor which simply needs a protagonist, and is intended good naturedly. I do hear Goq’s point that it might, perhaps, in some way, seem as though we are denigrating gentiles. So let’s use Rosh Yeshivas instead, because Rosh Yeshivas often say really corny things.
This is a true story: My Rosh Yeshiva was once pulled over for going the wrong way down a one-way street. When the cop said to him “You know this is a one-way street sir, don’t you?” he replied, in all innocence, “but sir, I was only going one way!”
OneOfMany – lol, what are you so perplexed about?
Goq – Who’s insulting gentiles? Who told you Paddy isn’t Jewish?
Well your personal opinion doesn’t matter. Oh wait, it does – because we’re living in a democracy!
R Chaim al hashas says that a person cannot be a pireish
Interesting vort, but it seems to go against a mashma’us of a Gemara in Nazir (12a). Tosafos, at least, is mefurash not like that in Kesubos (30b s.v. V’al Hakusis – ?? ????? ???? ??? ?”? ????). Ayin sham.
With regard to the question of whether we can go basar rov mekubalim to assume what this one is, if it is a ruba d’leisei kaman (i.e. in general, mekubalim are frauds) – l’chorah it’s pashut that it’s not shayich to have dinim of kavu’a and parish, because there’s nothing to be poresh from (because the rov is a theoretical one). If you will taynah that it is a ruba d’isa kaman (i.e. if we count the mekubalim who are frauds that the ones who aren’t, the one’s who are are the majority) there is still no problem of kavu’a, if we go with Tosafos in Nazir (ibid. s.v. Asur) who say that anytime there is no difference in appearance between the issur and the heter we do not say kavu’a. Tosafos in Chullin (95a s.v. Sfeiko) seems to learn that this is p’shat in classic bitul chad b’trei, which for some reason isn’t automatically precluded by the din kavu’a.
So basically this mekubal is batel in the rest, is what I am saying. The only thing is that mid’rabbanan it could be he isn’t batel because he is a chatichah hareuyah lehischabed (because celebrities like using them). Yesh lachkor.
From a political/sociological standpoint, I am not sure why you say it has done more harm than good. If you believe women should have equal rights, then they are equally directly affected by whomever is in power, so why should they not have the chance to vote? But I think that you have a more basic issue here – you don’t think women should have equal rights. So why not just say so, and not confuse us all with the title?
hehe
Ewww!
Wolf – That’s because you are wicked and going to hell. I wouldn’t be happy either.
Tea is kosher.
is it attention seeking, for a single girl to be taking showers all the time… she doesn’t have to look beautiful for her husband..So what’s the point at that particular stage??
Especially with soap and shampoo…-this FRUM YESHIVISHE girl in work, I don’t intentionally look at her, but her personal hygiene is I’d say overdone.. I can tell that she feels uncomfortable that pple stare at her, should I arrange for someone to speak to her, obviously i’m not going to speak to her myself on that topic…lol:) So My Main question is why would a FRUM single girl want to take showers???
Wolf is OneOfMany? Ha!
(I believ that girls should be encouraged to start dating later, not that the boys should start earlier.)

Seriously, who cares?
Sushe is right.
yup straight from freezer to pressure cooker

sam4321 – Yeah, I guess it’s like you said.
I stand corrected on the olive thing (though as the Gemara says, olive oil counteracts it).

Tora Yid – Ayin sham.
OneOfMany – Thanks 😉
OneOfMany – Yup, same dude.
Are round and flat mutually exclusive?
I think that olives is a mistake. The Gemara in Berachos (35b) says that olive OIL, when swallowed without anything else, is dangerous for a person. If there is such a thing, I would guess it applies only to that. (If olives were truly not good for a person then why would one make a bracha on them?)
OneOfMany – Check up fehrd in the UD 🙂 🙂
These are in no particular order. Stick in the “le’havdil elef alfei havdalos” where appropriate.
The Definitive Book of Body Language, by Allan and Barbara Pease. If you want to know how to read people, this one is really good.
The Road Less Traveled, by M. Scott Peck. The best book I’ve ever read on relationships, dependency, love, etc.
If you want Jewish Philosophy, inspiration, etc., Rabbi Jonathan Sacks is an amazingly prolific writer and has lots of great books out.
If you enjoy Jewish history, I happen to really enjoy Rabbi Shmuel Irons. He doesn’t have a book out but audios of his lectures are available online.
Totally random, but H.L. Mencken’s “The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche” was a really interesting and fairly easy read.
Shticky, she said she’s looking for non-fiction, as opposed to what’s discussed on those bajillion or so threads.
OneOfMany, what genre of non-fiction are you interested in?
HaLeiVi –
I don’t know why you brought up Nida. That is in the Gemara, along with many other Gezeiros.
Because it isn’t a gezeira, it’s an example of what he is saying – people accepting upon themselves to be machmir because it’s too complicated to be meikil (the fact that it occured during the times of the Gemara doesn’t change that).
Hey, no worries. I don’t even take those threads seriously because they are doomed from the start. You just happened to be the guy, if not you, it would’ve been someone else.
Yeah, the guy especially liked the quote “??? ???? ?? ?????” being used to mattir chodosh.
Greatness!
I would be remiss if I did not cite ????? ?:?.
Many are. LOL
First of all, I know that pasuk from the yeshivishe masechtos. Rabbeinu Tam cites it famously in Kesubos. Second, there’s plenty of that kind of stuff in the yeshivishe masechtos.
Ad locum is correct. Or ad loc. Sometimes for ?? you write ibidem, or ibid. The difference is that ad loc. means on that thing, like when you cite a pasuk, and Rashi ad loc. Ibid. is used when you are citing another pasuk from the same place.
I understand how it defies modern science, but how does it defy Torah?
hehe
RedNails19, thanks.
Lol, that’s good.
Popa –
Beautiful vort.
Along the same lines as DY – If your writing Shabbat than you should write mitzvot, and Beit. And it’s usually spelled Midrash.
Would you say the plural of ignoramus is ignorami? Hehe, that’s a real nerd joke.
It is really a nice vort and well-written.
DaasYochid – That’s a amazing chap, that Pinchas was the author (assuming he is Eliyahu).
Yes, tell us!
Some type of crystal?
I suspect that many times it is fake, and thus not healthy. That is, these two people barely know each other; they’ve been out on a few dates and now their engaged to be married, and the world – or at least they think so – expects them to be head-over-heels in love with each other. Not that they don’t think of each other a lot, and dream of a future together; and yes, sometimes you will find couples who have gone through the standard shidduch process who do feel that way toward each other even at this stage. But it isn’t this way with everyone. On Facebook, everything you post is there for everyone to see. Once you post one lovey-dovey or supportive post there’s pressure to post another. With texts it might not be as pronounced, but the pressure is there too. So yeah, for the first few times it’s fun and cute, but once it becomes like you have to do it because otherwise it will be awkward that you didn’t, then the relationship faces a challenge. Because people who feel pressure don’t generally react with love and support to the cause of that pressure. And often the person trying hardest to send all those supportive texts and FB wall comments is getting more and more frustrated inside, even if it’s not conscious. It makes problems. The thing is, I can’t really say not to, because if it’s expected, it’s expected. All I’m saying, I guess, is that if it isn’t expected, do not go out of your way to make a loving gesture that doesn’t feel real to you, if it is one that creates such a situation in which it is expected to be repeated, because chances are it will cause more harm than good.
End ramble.
