Jothar- If your Rav says its necessary then you follow what he says. Only Hashem takes into account how punishment will affect others, we (Bais Din) do not.
In Shemos when Moshe killed the Mitzri that was hitting a Yid, the pasuk says ???????? ???? ????? ???????? ???? ???? ????? which we darshan to mean he saw that no good would come out of him or his descendants. The question is raised that why did Moshe do that, if the Mitzri deserved to die we dont look at anything else? An answer given is that since he used the ?? ?????? to kill it was like ???? ???? ???? which does make other considerations.
A latte is an espresso with steamed milk instead of water.
A cappuccino is coffee with milk that has been turned into a froth.
An Americana is what we consider a regular coffee with milk.
A frappe is a drink served with ice
Goq- Please dont take all of our suggestions at once, you’ll get burnt out. Try to excercise and eat healthier, taking it one day at a time. See what works for you. I dont think I would be able to stay away from Coke Zero, but its preferable to having regular soda and all those empty calories. Drink LOTS of water, its great for your system and helps remove toxins.
What does the Artscroll Shas and GPS have in common??
They both get you to where you want to go, but once there and you look back, you have no idea how you got there.
Its a great reference tool, but try to first learn the Gemara on your own and sweat a bit before succumbing and using Artscroll.
????? ????? ????? doesnt mean to sit back in your recliner and just read through the Gemara like you would a newspaper. You need to stop and think, analyze what you are learning. I find that when I use Artscroll (I have the whole set) I am just reading the words and dont stop to think if I understand it. I mean its gotta make sense because after all, its a mefurishe Artscroll!
cantoresq- Wow! You apparently dont like the yeshiva system. Let me guess, you were never in the yeshiva system as it is today?
Are you a mid 40’s MO?
Zeeskite- Thats a gemara in Brochos on Daf Hey. It says you should have your yetzer tov fight your yetzer hora. if that doesnt work then learn torah. If that doesnt work say krias shema. If that doesnt work remember that one day you will pass on from this world. It appears to be as a last resort.
On the other hand, the Mishna in Avos (3:1) says to remember in front of whom you will have to give a din v’cheshbon.
old man- Its a bit harsh to call it evil. R’ SZ Aurebach and y”blc R’ Elyashiv shlita are not in the habit of givng haskomos to “evil”.
What do Artscroll and GPS have in common??
Goq- What about a post a day on what excercise you did that day and what food choice you made(i.e. either not having a unhealthy snack or having a salad for lunch instead of 3 slices of pizza)?
Whenever I spoke to the R”Y zt”l, I suddenly felt this ahava towards the R”Y. For the first time, I truly understood the pasuk in Mishlei ????????? ????????? ????????? ???? ???-??????? ???????
His love for his talmidim was palpable and as the pasuk says, you cant do anything but love him back. This is how he was able to remember his talmidim, because he loved them all.
Most of us have heard shmuzzim about ??????????? ???????? ???????? But when the R”Y said it, it had a new meaning. Hearing those words from someone who lived it, hearing about Mesirus Nefesh from someone who lived it 24/7 penetrates deeper.
The R”Y grew up in America, and still became the R”Y. We all need to keep his legacy going by emulating him, and with increased Ahavas Yisroel may we be zoche to Bias Goel Tzedek Bimheira Biyomeinu.
Dont believe it. I cant find the story on CNN and the NYT has it buried under Topics- not under the World section.
On the other hand, the BBC has is prominently featured, so who knows.
Thank you Baal Habooze. His love for his talmidim and his mesirus nefesh are legendary. I feel privileged to say I learned in the Mir under the Rosh HaYeshiva, zecher tzadik v’kadosh l’bracha. After years of saying “the Rosh HaYeshiva Shlita” its painful to verbalize the words “the Rosh HaYeshiva zatzal”.
Time for a new therapist. If after therapy you come out with the impression “of course, everything is my fault” then the therapsit is not doing his/her job. Aside from the fact that there are several different therapy approaches, (CBT, Analytical, Freudian, Systems etc..) the therapist’s job is to have you and your spouse discuss things and work on repairing the relationship, not focus on where to place blame.
You should never give up unless advised to by a therapist(which should never happen) or a competent Rav experienced in these matters.

Eat an extra donut from Uri’s for me please!!
Sounds very Israeli!! HUGE windsor knot and tie ends 6 inches above the waistline
The old joke with the Brisker Rov (I think) and someone else (I forget who) that were discussing kiddushin. One said every second there is a new chalois kiddushin. So the other responded with Mazel Tov on your recent engagement!
On that note.. when is the bris?
yeshivawonderer- I have a novel idea…Pick up the phone and make a few phone calls instead of getting speculation from the CR.
Dr. Pepper- I was expecting from you a “the following funny shidduch story happened on this date” post!!!
tzvideer- “No, this is not a Nes, this is the way it should be.”??
First of all “the way it should be” is a nes. Everything is orchestrated by HKB”H and to say that its nothing because thats the way it should be is wrong.
Secondly, as you said, the majority of the past ten years have been terrible rain seasons. So yes, this is something to note and to thank Hashem for.
As BaalSechel and Sam2 said, our minhag is to ask your LOR, not to decide on your own to follow a psak from an acharon that was niftar more than 200 years ago.
I’ve been saying this all along. Girls should start dating older.

YehudahTzvi- What “yungerman” doesnt have a bottle of Chivas? Why is it “boycotted”?
What about volumizing shampoo?
Oldies but goodies:

Imho these signatures are ridiculous. Your name is clearly written in bold next to your post. We dont need a one line post that starts with your name and ends with your name, especially with stars and smiley faces.
Unless you are infatuated with seeing your name…
I dont want to sterotype, but this may be a Venus/Mars thing. Women are generally more intuned to sympathize, while men tend towards looking for a solution. Men also have a more difficult time being sympathetic when the injury occured because of stupidity or ignorance.
Way too long to post all details and there are some disagreements amongst the poskim.
Learn the halachos from a sefer. Shabbos Kitchen from R’ S. B. Cohen is one.
2scents- And all Jews know the rule about being dan lkaf zchus. This doctor may be an ER doc in which case he would be more knowledgeable in pre-hospital care. Or me have been an orthopedist focusing on the patients musculoskeletal injuries. Secondly, assume he was on the shoulder and taking proper precautions. Its hard to avoid an out of control car at 70MPH regardless of all precautions.
It very well may be a problem of ????? ??? ?? ??? ?????.
My pleasure. When I learned Issur V’Heter and was asked a shaila, it greatly enhanced my understanding of the halacha, and that one needs to know ALL of Basar B’Chalav and Taaruvos to arrive at the correct halacha.
Ha! I’ll just send it to my long lost third cousin millionaire that just died and wants to give me all of his money.
What do you call “long”? A day, a week a month? Why would you want to hear us tell you of every possible ailment thats associated with abdominal pain?
cinderella- Why is this disturbing? Professional shadchanim work all day and night, not 9-5. Is it disturbing that your son’s Rebbe gets paid for teaching your kid Torah? Why should they not get paid for their hard work?
cinderella- Are you having casual conversations with this person, or is this a concentrated effort to be mekarev her? Is she aware of your agenda? Are you doing this on your own or with the assistance of a kiruv organization? In another post someone mentioned Partners In Torah. Give them a call.
daughterofHashem- Well said.
Imaofthree- The decision is based on reputation of the school and on the recommendation of the 12th grade teachers.
Dr. Pepper- Do you only post on this thread??
We generally say that Mitvos d’Oraissa need kavana to be yotze and mitvos d’Rabanan do not. HOWEVER, there are exceptions, such as when your actions show you had kavana, or you had kavana when you started the mitzva. You would almost need to discuss this on a mitva by mitzva basis.
Do they have Protocols???!!
Arig – I commend you for doing what -you feel- was best for your daughter even at such a great cost.
That said, we in the CR dont know if that was the best decision because we dont know your daughter. You had little knowledge of the dynamics of having a daughter in E”Y which is why you turned to the CR critics. My opinion -and hopefully those of most of us- is based on personal experiences of living in E”Y for a number of years and having siblings, relatives and friends that were in various seminaries there. For the vast majority of girls, a decision to bring them home early would be the wrong one. BUT there is a minority and your daughter may fall in that group.
So I would like to commend you again for your concern and action to do what you feel is best for your child.
600 Kilo Bear- Your post sounds like something Popa would say!
Jothar you took the words right out of my mouth. I was going to post the exact same thing
gaw- We shouldnt turn away someone that wants to know more about yiddishkeit regardless of whom they are married to. We teach them more about torah and yiddishkeit and tell them that we dont allow marrying a non jew. We do not say “first let me see divorce papers and then we can talk”.(The same for the guy in your shul who speaks Loshon Horah all day long that we dont throw him out of shul until he swears to never say l”h again)
With a Ger its a different story. Either he accepts ALL 613 or no geirus.
I heard in the name of the Gr”a (Vilna Gaon) that after hearing of a mekubal that knew private things of peole that came to him, he asked that the mekubal be brought to him. He came and told the Gr”a personal information about him (the Gr”a) After spekaing with him for a while, he told his talmidim to chase him out of town. Reason being that there are two ways this “mekubal” could know these things, through Koach haKedusah and koach hatumah. After speaking with him (in learning) the Gr”a said his abilities do not come from Koach HaKedusha. Therefore he needs to be chased out of town.
I second what dveykus613 said. Read R’ Yaakov Hillel’s book Faith and Folly, or ???? ???? in Hebrew. He is a mekubal that is mekubal by all of the Litvishe/Ashknenazic Poskim. In his book he says to be careful of all these so called mekubalim.
He brings a story of someone that was engaged and went to a mekubal for ????. The mekubal told him his name doesnt match with the kallah’s- whatever that means- and he should immediately break the shidduch. Choson goes crying to the Steipler asking what to do. The Steipler who was known to never get angry became visibly angry/upsent and said to ignore this advice and gave his brocho to the chosson.
Obaminator- “Another problem is the proselytizing some organizations do of goyish spouses of Jews. But we’ll leave that discussion, possibly much worse than the above, for another day”
Are you saying you disagree with this approach? What if I told you that leading Poskim (R’ Elyashiv Shlita for one) say when one spouse is not frum and is interested in yiddeshkeit and is married to a goy we are more lenient with having the conversion? (I dont mean that s/he can only be mikabel 612, rather we dont try has hard to convince him/her our of it.)
yitayningwut- Can you please explain to me how he will understand ???? ?? ???? ? ????? Appears to substantiate zeiah and ????? ???? says its assur, not a chumra? (I know its not on your test but have a look)
BTGuy- sad story, but there maybe a silver lining. If after you two “clicked” so much and were obviously both ready to get married she was forced to cancel because of her parents you may be better off without having in-laws that are so controlling.
“Although she says she is suffering more, which is not true.”- How do you know that?
A meizid can not daven a Hashlama, but can daven a nedava (I think)
Im pretty sure that a Hashlama can only be said right after the first tefillah- after waiting kdei hiloch daled amos, not afterwards.
yitayningwut- Let me make sure I am understanding this right. Are you saying that there is no longer a need for separate ovens and milchig and fleishig can be cooked in the same oven one after the other? And even if the oven has mamushes it wouldnt matter because zeiah isnt an issue?
Baal Habooze- If everything is cold there is nothing to be concerned with. All are fine. If the onions were raw and by mashing you are actually cutting through the onions then the onions would be milchig. I remember seeing somewhere (Chochmos Adom?) that if you cut an onion with a milchig knife on a fleishig plate the plate would be get bliyos of milk as well.
yitayningwut- I dont remember off hand where 60 in the contents of the pot times the pot itself is mentioned, but I’m pretty sure its on the page (Taz, Shach, etc) and more than once.
Jothar- ????
Jothar- Oops! I forgot about hamivatel bishvilo. Thank you.
Regarding Pizza- I have heard this shaila raised in E”Y and it was permitted. You are not doing anything by throwing the pizza in the garbage. Its not likely that its still yad soledes, its not derech bishul etc… The shaila would be when the garbage is incinerated that you have real bishul; but the Poskim were matir anyway
yitayningwut- I am refering to the general rule with all keilim. We never say the kli is shishim times the contents. (The reverse may be possible with a wide pot) However, with a kli ???? ?????? ???? you still may be allowed to use it.
Ovens- I cant recall ever hearing of anything of this sort. Can you please explain the logic behind it?
Ragachovers Assistant & yitayningwut-
??? ???? ???? ?? ??? ???? ????? ????, ?? ?? ?? ??? ??? ?????? See Taz 92 Ois Lamed and Shach 107 Ois 7 that discusses this.
What I have heard l’maase is that the first couple of times we can be meikil, but after that we would consider it a kli rishon.
You HTBT to understand!
