If you’re uncertain whether or not the person will react positively to the tochacha, you’re required to give it since there’s the possibility he might correct his action after the tochacha.
What do you mean by whether they experienced it at home?
I’ve seen some people eat cookies or cake Shabbos morning before Shachris.
Lilmod, there’s a strong argument that there are more girls in shidduchim than boys in shidduchim, since girls enter the shidduch parsha younger than boys.
Most coffee drinkers will rarely if ever drink black unsweetened coffee. Hence most folks don’t benefit from a “better” coffee.
Of course it is a Chesed. Without doubt.
Well, close to 17. Carson was a clown.
Many shuls have a minyan saying the complete Tehilim every Erev Rosh Chodesh.
I opposed Trump in the primaries. Out of 17 Republican candidates he was my 17th choice to win. In the general election I voted for him as the lesser of the two evils. I thought he had almost no chance of winning against Clinton. In fact I thought he had very little chance of winning the primary.
But since winning he’s impressed me very much with his personnel choices for his cabinet, across the board. More real conservatives than even Ronald Reagan I think. So I now have much bigger hopes and anticipation for his presidency.
By the way, both he and his father have had a stellar reputation regarding their friendliness with Jews and Jewish causes long before both his candidacy for president and before his daughter’s marriage.
lb: An Ashkenazi is forbidden to allow his wife to eat kitniyos.
There’s no reason it needs to be one way over the other. Either way is fine.
Of course Ashkenaz and Sephard are not the only groups. Some fall into neither category. Teimanim are not Sephardim. Italkim are not Ashkenazim. etc.
In 30 years Americans will be speaking with nostalgia of the historic Trump era and the greatness of his presidency.
You go by your father (and his father), until you go by your husband, so you’re always only one or the other.
The secular/chiloni Israelis, especially the elite, hold Sephardim in contempt. Just like they hold the Torah in contempt r’l. Baruch Hashem the frum Sephardim and frum Ashkenazim in Eretz Yisroel get along splendidly together with each other, just as the frum American Sephardim and Ashkenazim in New York, Lakewood, Deal, New Jersey, etc. get along spectacularly with each other. Both in Eretz Yisroel and in America you will find Sephardim in most Ashkenazi yeshivos, especially the top Ashkenazi yeshivos.
Unfortunately the secular/chilonim in Israel, in a feeble attempt to justify and cover up their discriminatory anti-Sephardic policies in the State of Israel, its universities as well as private industry, falsely accuse the frum of Eretz Yisroel of also having some sort of bias against Sephardim. It is laughably false. But they, especially the anti-religious media in Israel, never cease making their false allegations.
Husbands & Fathers.
I think Shomer Shabbos has one.
Says you.
Frankly, Taster’s Choice instant coffee tastes as good or better than the vast majority of brewed coffee. Including Gevalia and Starbucks.
And why were classified emails in particular, and Huma’s State Department emails in general, on Weiner’s computer in the first place?
I’d rather round you up myself. Because you’re Jewish. And we need a tzeinter for our minyan.
Aren’t you in the UK, which also provides free tuition (or low cost government subsidized) for Jewish schools/yeshivas?
Any country that recognized Kosovo being independent from Serbia, the US included, has no standing to complain about Crimea declaring independence from Ukraine. Once either one is independent then they have a right to join another country should they so choose. There’s little moral difference between Crimea declaring independence from Ukraine and then acting as a sovereign state, than them subsequently electing to merge into another state.
My primary underlying point is not that either of them (Kosovo or Crimea) is okay or justified. Both independence declarations (from Serbia and Ukraine respectively) were equally legally unjustified and illegitimate. But if a state recognizes one, it has no moral standing to object to the other.
The annexation came after Crimea declared independence from Ukraine and considered themselves an independent nation. Just like Kosovo declared independence from Serbia.
If Kosovo and Albania jointly agree that Albania should annex Kosovo, would you consider Albania to be as bad as Russia annexing Crimea?
DY: No.
B&H, as well as any other credit card merchant, does NOT get the money before they ship. The credit card is only authorized, not charged. It is only charged once they ship. This is per the standard VISA/MasterCard/AmEx/Discover agreement.
They don’t take orders altogether on Shabbos anyways.
And what if someone actually does order your box of Kleenex tissues on Shabbos for $30/box?
Lilmod: +1
Is this like a “safe space” in universities where, like, guys who are upset Clinton lost the election can go to to vent?
YY, correct. And America approved and was subject to UN Security Council Resolution 1244 which recognized the territorial integrity of Serbia, yet America pushed for and supported the disputed breakaway of Kosovo from Serbia. So America has little standing to complain about the breakaway regions of Georgia and Ukraine.
