yossi z.Member
1day: you say that if only … Well a lot of people do learn full time etc to get the girl they want but it usually ends in disaster because they are representing someone they are not
yossi z.MemberYes one could and should be a ben torah.
I believe this whole “label” thing came about due to the fact that a person can’t be without a rov/rebbi/rebbe/mentor so people started describing themselves by who the followed.
yossi z.MemberBoth for to give money to a poor goy is also tzeddoko (I just don’t think you can use maaser for it)
yossi z.MemberThata boy/girl mytake (by the way are you new to here?). I was actually about to say that a person is not litvish or chassideshe, rather they follow a specific derech. To me, someone who is heimish is a person who feels comfortable with all (and I tend to also mix in the meaning that they are “with it”) but likely follows one (or a slight combination of) derech/derachim
for example I consider myself “heimish” yet I am a chossid of boston chassidus (in particular the rebbe that took over in boston) and follow their derech
yossi z.MemberI would say that depending on the severity of the issue it may be a ship sinker if the boy doesn’t know to start out with
yossi z.MemberLearning kiddushin and brachos for my grandmother’s first yahrtzeit (I also happen to be learning kiddushin in yeshivah)
yossi z.MemberOh come on mbachur what was the difference between r’ wilhelm and r’ fireman?
yossi z.MemberCR rehab probably they must have gotten stuck there I almost did
yossi z.MemberImanonov: my grandfather tells the martini joke except when he says it he has the husband flying on a plane and the wife is the one who educated him before sending him off
yossi z.MemberI love how the CR tries to figure out a poster before they actually get there.
Mbachur: how long have you been on here for? (I am starting to get this feeling that we had a conversation about who we were closer to when I first joined the CR)
yossi z.MemberDone. Mod 80 is now mashgiach (though we skipped menahel …)
yossi z.MemberTomim: ooh good point I didn’t think of that
yossi z.MemberDeiyezooger: are you chassideshe? (Toeis akI”m …)
yossi z.MemberActually I am 😀 (it is nice to see some fresh meat .. I mean to give some fresh greets :D)
yossi z.MemberMaybe they are boarding in NY because it makes it easier on travel?
yossi z.Member‘I understand (sorry that was bad)
yossi z.MemberNow that is a question being that a father has a responsibility to marry off his son (gemarah kiddushin daf lamed/lamed alef (I am not 100% sure of the exact daf). In regards to a kolel yungerman saving the maaser money for themselves this would have no bearing as to whether one can use maaser for dating (there are those that hold that people who learns in kollel are chashuv k’ani) and in regards to being able to afford a wife (and family etc) that is a whole other parsha and hopefully will at least be discussed on the dates. It has nothing to do with the question being discussed.
yossi z.MemberA grand welcome to hummingbird to the grand CR (I hope you have read enough to know what to expect … :D)
😀 yossi 😀
yossi z.MemberAnybody hear the story about when men were being admitted into heaven they were told to form two lines. One was for those who were dominated by their wives and one for those who dominated. All except one stood in the first line. When the one man was asked how he got to be standing in the second line, he responded: my wife told me to …
yossi z.MemberTrue hair shouldn’t be that important but you are dating a girl and the way she looks now does effect the decision (kinda hard to decide to marry a girl for the way she will be/look)
yossi z.MemberYochi please tell your husband that there actually is a masseches chanuka (it isn’t very commonly known by that name though). It is about 2-3 blatt at most and is in the middle of masseches shabbos.
yossi z.MemberThe side I would say that you don’t have to give maaser is that you were oker the kinyan chatzer by having in mind that you don’t want it so the money was never yours but as always ask your LORD (local orthodox rabbi – duh)
yossi z.MemberYes there are kosher phones in america (by the way I use on average about 1500 texts a month just from talking with people (not just stam schmoozing either) they just add up (it also helps that I have a lot of people that I am close with as contacts)
yossi z.MemberWhat I have been trying to say is just because something is expensive does not mean that you should be allowed to use maaser for it. Maaser is not just something to be used for any ol’ mitzvah, it is supposed to be used for tzedoko. The heterim given to for example use maaser for tuition is because you are giving the money to a torah institution (supporting torah. One of the reasons why one is allowed to buy seforimn with maaser money. (though they don’t have the ability to be “yarshened”) even though it is ALSO benefiting you. Now if someone is poor enough to be receiving maaser they are able to use it for whatever they want (I am not sure about their own maaser)
yossi z.MemberExcuse me for being flukey
Sorry for driving you kookey
I am extremely tired
My brain’s all a-mired
Right now I sound quite rookie
Sorry people I’m out for a bit
My mind is starting to flit
I can not rhyme
Not even two times
I think I will now git
Distracted as can be
It is obvious to me
I must rest
So all the best
Now can I have my tea
🙁 yossi 🙁
yossi z.MemberDepends. Is he the most active mod? If yes than it should. Otherwise I would say no
yossi z.MemberImaofthree: that is why this is a MEN’S thread … Lol (I happen not to like herring …)
yossi z.MemberVery good sapphire!
Looks like your out of the mire
As if with a bat
Give another whack
And stay here for a while
Short and sweet is good
It is just like some food
Now please see
What can be
And don’t give us the boot
😀 yossi 😀
yossi z.MemberI am now nearing my second year here (march) but I had an absence of about a year like six months after I joined
yossi z.MemberI second that motion (anyone third and final?)
yossi z.MemberYou want to knit or crochet your own tallis/tefillin bag? (There is a difference)
yossi z.MemberProfessional: that still doesn’t rationalize using maaser for dates. How does it create any sort of connection between the two? What is the thought process of there even being a consideration for it?
yossi z.MemberMbachur: My brother learned in torah ohr not my father
yossi z.MemberMbachur: sorry for being a bit slow but does the “m” stand for mesivta?
yossi z.MemberSmartcookie I thank you much
Wishing you a gut voch
But myself I couldn’t
Nor I wouldn’t
Have done it without help much
I owe a debt of gratitude
To dear daas yochid too
For giving me
The courage to be
Limericist on tune (hey how about turning that into a subtitle!)
Have I been mentioning?
Daas yochid lim by lim?
Don’t be sad
Nor be mad
For smiles I want to bring
I give credit where it is due
(See I gave it to you too)
Now let’s go
And have a show
With limericks anew
yossi z.MemberBut to stay on topic (especially now that I have posted here), people have told me that I am outgoing/personable, industrious, hard working, capable, talented, and I forget the rest. I don’t necessarily agree with them all but I live by the rule that people, especially your close friends likely know you better than you know yourself *shrug*
yossi z.MemberWolf: now I am starting to doubt that you aren’t kapusta … (Unless she is GREEN cabbage …) Lol 😀
yossi z.MemberWhy should you be allowed to use maaser money for dating? Just because it is expensive? It isn’t tzedoko (though you are allowed to buy seforim with maaser money they don’t get included in din yerusha)
yossi z.Member*hic*
yossi z.MemberMbachur: presently I am in brooklyn ny for yeshivah (eretz yisroel still hasn’t worked out yet) but is there a way of contacting me to let me know who you are so I can send my father proper regards? (The facts that you gave don’t help much)
yossi z.MemberDaas yochid said it clearly
And I hold it very dearly
The rules they say
Are needed to play
Now please come and hear me
I will now pass on
What really has not gone
Very far behind
This post of mine
Now please don’t yell mom (random?)
The rules they say are few
But lines one and two
Also five
Have to rhyme
Then 3 and 4 too
The rhymes I see you have
The syllables need a tad
Of work by you
Oh my it’s true
At me please don’t be mad
The first 2 limerick lines
Can have at most 9
The next are five
And then you dive
Into limerick mines
Before you get limerick heaven
The last line no more than seven
Syllables fine
And then you dine
On limericks and leaven
*whew*
yossi z.MemberOh! Tu beshvat! I knew I was missing something (but isn’t there an opening closer to one of the “major” yomim tovim (pesach and succos?)
yossi z.MemberYoyo56: the term “in the parsha” is used instead of are you on the dating scene (don’t ask me why because I don’t know) but from your original post I would assume not (and to answer your question, depending on the circles would depend if it is “normal.” for example there are certain chassidim amongst whom it is quite common to find the girls getting married at or around 16)
Oh and no one should be talking to the involved parties unless there is going to be something lemaaseh (a date) happening (that mistake was made by me but thankfully it was caught and taken care of)
yossi z.MemberWhat is IMHO? (Or is that supposed to be LMHO?)
January 30, 2011 5:56 am at 5:56 am in reply to: Please List All The Nightmares You Could Bring On Yourself #736556yossi z.MemberWhoops my bad. I posted the limerick in the “my new subtitle” thread (why? I don’t know. I don’t remember I just bumped into it now)
yossi z.MemberReally? I guess there are other times that the freezer opens than I thought (I have never been in a yeshivah with a “freezer” I base pretty much everything I know about it either from peoples’ first hand experiences or hearsay (parents of the kids)
January 30, 2011 5:46 am at 5:46 am in reply to: Please List All The Nightmares You Could Bring On Yourself #736555yossi z.MemberHmm my limerick seems not to have posted. Oh well maybe it wasn’t allowed but I am not gonna bother to find out not that important and I don’t want to bother the mods (if it was inappropriate then I am sorry mods)
I love coffe: nope! (Oh and welcome I believe this is the first time I have seen you here)
yossi z.MemberYou should speak up but not necessarily to request from the parents what you want but rather to discuss with them what you are looking for (to say it less confusingly, speak to the parents to get onto the same page don’t just tell them this is what you do/n’t want (like a hungry kid looking for food and the parent has to go through do you want this? How about that?)
Am I being too confusing?
yossi z.MemberMe thinks (no not the poster) that there are some people in the CR going out now due to the recent influx of dating etiquette questions (though strangely some of them seem to be started by posters who I am under the impression are married already …)
yossi z.MemberNot Rhode Island certified (don’t ask it’s a long story) then again our (RI) EMTs can do more than NY ones (as I said don’t ask RI is a bit cuckoo)
