sem20- Having known him for many years, can you please share some of the many stories that come to mind?
If you are not makpid on the rust it may be ok too! LOL
LOL! pba- you should seriously consider doing standup comedy.. or maybe you already do? In that case, you must be….!!!
I just found the following from the Star K –
“If one bought a used vessel which needs to be kashered, e.g. from a non-Jewish owner, the keili must be kashered before it is toveled.”
Pba- My guess would be yes. Any food utensil you buy from a non-jew needs to be toiveled- unless the utensil is ruined and subsequently repaired by a jew.
Health insurance may cover services, depending on the diagnosis.
If a cause of the problems is financial, you may want to get them help for that as well.
So why dont you google it and get an answer from reliable sources?
There are epileptic seizures and non epileptic seizures with various causes and risk factors.
anonymrs- The KSH says pretty much verbatim what BTGuy posted above. The segula is for childless women as well. He does not say when in the pregnancy it can be said.
Vanilla Cookie Dough!
Iced coffee, But the slushy type thats common in E”Y, not cold coffe with ice cubes.
BTGuy- Thank you.
I looked up that website and the source is Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 75:2.
There are soooo many so called segulos out there it has hard to differentiate between the legitimate ones and the fraudulent ones.
An unnamed email quoting a segula without a source doesnt prompt much serious thought.
zahavasdad- Is your post relevant to the discussion on hand, or is it just your personal pet peeve? Read the original post again.
Depending on the violation, you can be charged upwards of $300.
Hatzlocho Rabbah. I also had an experience with them and it was not pleasant.
DO NOT give them any money. Its a lot harder to reclaim your money than a stroller which is sitting in an office. You will need to go back to the airport. If possible, bring your baby and a birth certificate with you when you go. (im assuming you flew separate from your wife and the baby wasnt with you.) A copy of the law you quoted in Hebrew will help you too.
If that doesnt work, then try the other option, start a hafgana!
always runs with scissors fast- I am reposting part of what I wrote earlier as it appears it is becoming more and more on target.
DO NOT blame yourself. Everyone is responsible for their own actions.
IGNORE every post saying “I think your husband has this problem” or ” Your biggest problem is this..”
STOP posting anecdotes of what happened. There will be five different interpretations of everything you post and may not help you at all.
You and your husband both need professional help, both medical and social/emotional. GO GET THAT HELP. Do not try to use the CR as a substitute until then.
Hatzlocha Rabbah
I cant really add much to what has been already said, but please call Shalom Task Force again. Dont let your resolve from last night fade away.
DO NOT blame yourself. Everyone is responsible for their own actions.
IGNORE every post saying “I think your husband has this problem” or ” Your biggest problem is this..”
Call STF and get professional help. Go see a doctor/psychiatrist who can prescribe medication IF deemed necessary for your PPD. You should also seek out a psychologist to help you overcome the PPD.
BUT most important of all, call STF and let them help you. (Unfortunately) They have a lot of experience with these issues.
My heart goes out to you. May Hashem help you survive this terrible ordeal intact.
Sam2- “Hello: Seeing or hearing an Ervah is not Abizraihu of Giluy Arayos”. I hope I am understanding you correctly, but I am pretty sure I saw someone that said ??? ????? ???? ??? ????? and seeing an ervah would be assur because of ?? ????.
PBA- I have to say I disagree with you on this one. First of all, if a shadchan invests time and energy into a shidduch and you break it off, its only fair to tell him why you broke it off. Imho its a lack of hakaras hatov to just say no without telling him why.
Secondly, it will usually work to your advantage if the shadchan knows what was not to your liking so he can better match you up next time.
Thirdly, on behalf of all those that talk about the shidduch crisis all day, if a shadchan tries and tries and doesnt know why his ideas arent working out, he will give up.
Barring extreme circumstances, its only fair to tell the shadchan your reason for saying no. It would be helpful to all parties, and no one needs to get hurt… unless the shadchan is the reason you broke it off!
Seriously? Its been a whole day and he is not toilet trained yet?
Every kid is different, and it can take a long time. DO NOT force him, when he is ready he will do it.
Try giving him lots to drink, and then have him sit on the toilet for an hour. You will need to entertain him while he is sitting there.
Hatzlocha Rabbah, and no, cleaning up accidents does not become any more pleasant!!
mghanooni- I agree that that mindset exists; but its obviously grossly incorrect. As the Mishna in Avos says, we should do mitvos not for the sake of reward.
Tropicana OJ is my favorite food/drink to break the fast on.
Many serve scrambled eggs/omeletes to get some protein.
real-brisker- Its still anonymous. We dont know who sent that email.
Secondly, have you not ever forwarded an email before? Did you ask the one who sent it to you for permission to forward it without removing their email address?
nitpicker- “a get is usually given then and there where and when it is to be given” HUH?? If you meant to write a get is usually written etc… I respond that a Get is kosher when sent with a shliach too.
I believe I addressed that last 2 questions you asked.
Regarding the first question, he can write it himself. If he wants the exact loshon he can google it. Its kosher b’dieved either way without many of the details.
nitpicker- Stop nitpicking.
Two Witnesses.
Also, I believe the Get does not say where it was given, and the date refers to when it was written, not necessarily given.
What do you think of Dovid Hamelech versus Shlomo Hamelech??
As Goq said, these questions are garbage. We dont compare Gedolim. I cant see any good coming from comparing Gedolim.
Maaseh avos siman l’banim doesnt tell you to compare to find similarities or differences.
Just curious why you chose these two?
Mod please close this thread.
oomis1105- A Get can be given against her will. However, there is a cherem from Rabbeinu Gershom against someone who does.
cantgetit- He can force it by placing the Get in a piece of property that she owns.
mommamia22- He is kidding.

Health- After living in E”Y for several years and having a relationship with someone in R’ Elyashiv Shlita’s inner circle, I -as well as Avi K and many others- have learned that you cannot believe with certainty anything that is said in his name. I have heard the same halacha question asked of him and once it was muttar and once assur (no special circumstances to speak of).
The famous joke that is said is someone asked R’ Elyashiv if twist ties can be used on Shabbos, and he said yes.
Someone else went into R’ Elyashiv and asked if twist ties can be used on Shabbos, and he said no.
?!?!?!
The answer is that the first guy motioned with his hand a single drey (twist) which is muttar, and the second guy dreyed twice which is assur.
Or for exmaple this story reported on YWN a couple of weeks ago:
R’ Elyashiv said: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/article.php?p=111995
R’ Elyashiv did NOT say that: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/article.php?p=112119
You can include summer camps, and who siblings married if relevant.
A friend of mine was trying to modify his mortgage and the bank was givng him a hard time. After speaking to someone at the bank he was advised …sshh.. to stop paying for a few months. He did just that and his subsequent modification process was a lot smoother.
musicaldignity- I must be getting old. I dont know half of these.

zeena.kasta- You can most certainly diagonse mental disorders at a young age. In fact, there are certain diagnoses (thats not a misspell) that MUST be diagnosed at a young age to be considered a DSM diagnosis.
Also, are you saying that she never presented any symptoms and she had no friends because of an illness she never had?
zahavasdad- That may be due to the machlokes between R’ Tikuchinsky and the Chazon Ish on the International Date Line.

Sam2 and Da Wolf- While I understand your point of view and at times it could be really annoying, the other side of the coin is saying to put things in perspective.
Look at the bright side of things and when compared to other tragedies that B”H didnt happen to you, you wont get as upset.
If after spilling coffee on your shirt someone tells you that yesterday their shirt got caught on a nail and was ruined, you will likely say “BH that didnt happen to me and at least I can cover the stain with a tie/jacket etc…instead of dwelling on the coffee stain.

Are you refering to a modification or refinancing? If refinancing then you should use a broker. If modification and are currently not paying your monthly payment they should hopefully notice soon and be more agreeable. Hatzlocha Rabba
Why wouldnt you take food stamps if you are eligible? The only thing I can think of would be ???? ????? ????.
However, as BTGuy and bpt have said, you have been paying taxes everyday of your life to pay for local, state, and federal services which include police, fire, public works…AND medicaid, food stamps etc.. I dont see any diference between using the first two services mentioned when needed and not the last two.
zeena- You are not likely to get enough information from the CR to make an informed decision. Every seminary is great—for a certain type of girl. If you want to tell us everything about your daughter, what schools she went to, intellectual capacity, personality, level of frumkeit, what kind of E”Y experience she is looking for, etc… then you might have a shot. Otherwise, good luck!
bochur540- On a first date its not that easy to know if she is offended easily and very emotional/moody unless she mentioned more than once instance of of both….or she blabbed on and on and on and on and on and on…..
Syag Lchochma- I was wondering if I was the only one who noticed that ‘cuz I didnt see any comment on it. It was driving me crazy!
kido- I disagree. Segulos need a source to be credible and not considered a buba maase. It may also need a source to avoid the issur of ?? ?????
Jothar- I hate to hijack this thread, but how sure are you that they “free”ly give of their time??!
We aren’t paid, if that is what you are asking.
popa_bar_abba- Sensible with more than a touch of sarcasm
yitayingut, Jothar, Sam2, Sam4321- Great Halachic responses- paticularly in YD
Dr. Pepper- The greatest shidduch stories ever!
2scents and apushatayid- If someone tells me Happy Holidays I respond with Merry Christmas.
I have yet to see a m’kor for not saying Christmas, and this whole PC business is ridiculous.
PBA- I gotta hand it to you. You are the only one in the CR that has had me LOL!
BTGuy- I hope you are joking. His name is Chris – not T at the end.
