Haifagirl, I thought you’re not an adult yet.
Popa, how many times did you say shmona esrei tonight?
Goq:
“The Campptown ladies sing this song,
Doo-da, Doo-da”
Sounds like Kol isha
I went down there with my hat caved in,
Doo-da, doo-da
Sounds like Camp Chabad 🙂
He didn’t die, he was just overshadowed by Ichiro.
We don’t eat or sleep or have a life, but sometimes we read reallllly slowly 🙂
The little is calling, it wishes to return.
The little bird is wounded, it cannot fly
but yearn.
It’s captured by the vultures, crying
bitterly”
“Oh, to see my nest again, oh to be
redeemed.”
The little bird of silver, so delicate and
rare,
Still chirps among the vultures,
outshining all that’s there.
How long, how long it suffers, how long
will it be
When will come the eagle and set the
little bird free
The little bird is yisroel, the vultures are
our foes.
The painful wound is golus, which we all
feel and know.
The nest is yerushalaim, where we yearn
to be once more.
And the eagle is moshiach, whom we are
waiting for.
CHORUS
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday
Double, double, triple pay
Won’t make me work on Saturday
Ain’t gonna work on Saturday
It’s shabbos kodesh
Repeat chorus after each stanza.
I’m big Gedalia Goomber
I’m not exactly small
But really not so very big
Just seventeen feet tall
I’m really rigged for working
For that I’m very fit
Six days a week I’m at it
And on the seventh day I quit
I once helped raise a building
And on the hundredth floor
I was carrying a load of bricks
An easy ton or more
And her, it’s late on Friday
I knew I’d have to stop
So I yelled, “Watch out below!”
And let the whole thing drop
At driving a locomotive
I thought I’d take a crack
I had the throttle wide open
Zooming down the track
And here it’s almost shabbos
The sun’s about to set
So I dove into a mud hole
And the train is running yet
I worked down in a coal mine
And lost myself alright
I couldn’t tell the days apart
Because there was no light
So I set myself to digging
Just as fast as you may please
And popped up in an hour
Where the people speak chinese
I had a job a dandy
On a construction crew
A great big mountain had us stuck
We couldn’t dig it through
And soon it will be shabbos
But not say I’m proud
I took that stubborn mountain
And kicked it on a cloud
I turned to deep-sea diving
And took an awful chance
On a sunken steamer’s deck
I got caught by my pants
And trapped beneath the ocean
I couldn’t set me free
But I went home for shabbos
And dragged the boat with me
I once was an explorer
To Africa I went
One shabbos hungry lions
Came roaring round my tent
My assistant held my rifel
“Go Goomber shoot these pests.”
But I called them in instead
To be my shabbos guest
Once to split an atom
With effort I had learned
Suddenly there was a blast
boy did I get burned
Everyone was so worried
So the doctors I did tell
That by keeping the shabbos holy
I will soon be fit and well
I worked at Cape Kennedy
And things were going right
A great big rocket ship was set
On a launching site
And here it’s getting dark
Shabbos was coming soon
So I pushed the starting button
And spent shabbos on the moon
I once was an astronaut
And flying through the stars
I came across a space ship
Whose pilots were from Mars
I said “Hello there Martians”
And stayed with them
Until I taught them to keep the shabbos
And they’re keeping shabbos still
I dress my best on shabbos
Three meals I feast me fine
I make a royal kiddush
On a barrel full of wine
And when I sing my zemiros
For a thousand miles they know
That I’m enjoying shabbos
For hashem has told us so
TTTO I’ts a Small World:
It’s a camp of laughter, a camp of fun
And for me Gan Yisrael is the only one
It’s a camp for me, it’s a camp for you, it’s a camp for every Jew
It’s a great camp after all
We will miss you in the fall
It’s a great camp after all
Machaneinu Gan Yisrael!
From Camp Gan Yisrael:
We’ve existed so long
For the Torah kept us strong
And the Torah will never disappear- oh,
no
Through the ages it was brought
By the children, who were taught
To follow it and constantly declare
I’m a Jew and I’m proud
And I’ll sing it out loud
‘Cuz forever that’s what I’ll be
I’m a Jew and I’m proud
And it’s without a doubt
That [Hashem] (The Rebbe) is always
Watching over me
TTTO Nikadesh
Camp Chabad, I love you so,
how I’ll live I do not know.
In my heart, in my soul,
I will never let u go.
Soon your field shore and lake,
with Mashaich we will take.
See you soon Camp Chabad.
As long as they stopped surviving and started living…
I don’t remember all the stanzas but here is one song I remember:
TTTO Mimkomcha:
Yossi, tomorrow will be your first time
You’ll be in Camp Mogen Av
Don’t worry, remember I was nervous too
As I share sweet memories that I had.
…
High part:
Those summers as a child are trapped in my heart
Fond memories still make me cry
I give you this treasure, enrich your whole life
You’ll never forget just like I I I…
I thought that Yonah was the boy who Eliyahu brought back to life.
This boy, I think was a different Navi and his mother was the sister of Avishag HaShunamis
ROTFL! (Roloing on the floor laughing)
You’re It!
No
OOM, perhaps this friend is his “mentor figure”.
Just to reiterate an earlier post about Friday afternoon: it is much easier to be on time for a 4pm winter Shabbos then to make early Shabbos at 7pm in the summer.
No matter how much cholent you eat, there’s always room for dessert.
Shelo asani goy: A goy cannot understand the simcha of coming to shul on a Monday or Thursday and finding out there’s no tachanun.
The hungrier you are, the longer the Rabbi’s speech is.
Now that you have entered the last year of your 2nd decade, does this mean you are now part of the Shidduch Crisis?
You need to wait 2 more years before we serve you Firewhiskey, we here in the CR are very makpid on that.
A merry unbirthday!
Butterbeer is on the house (which means it is warm since there is no AC on top of the house) ^_^
zdad, the 3rd party here is the company that submits the prices to Orbitz and Expedia.
Thanks 🙂
I wear special purple crocs on Shabbos to match my purple Shabbos Suit. During the week I wear either my yellow, red, or green crocs.
Shlishi, can you explain how the article on R’ Elyashiv went up so quickly?
I would assume that El Al is majority owned by Jews (though probably not Shomer Shabbos).
I wouldn’t flippantly call a whole group of Jews “reshaim”, they might be tinok shenishba or somewhere in between. Rasha is a very strong term (which should only be used by The Wolf in reference to himself).
I heard from a “3rd party” quoting the Business Halacha institute that since El Al is run by non-frum Jews there is less of an issue of Ta’us Yisroel. V’tzarich iyun.
My assumption (not really based on anything) is that El Al is a mostly Jewish company and all halachos would apply to it while Orbitz, Expedia, etc as well as the “3rd party” are all non-Jewish. But it is either El Al or the “3rd Party” who is losing money here so the halacha would probably depend on that.
How much Mammon is he getting?
” to do so would be to make a huge kiddush Hashem – imagine the effect of a bunch of yidden doing something like that… “
I have seen many people make this tayna, but I don’t think there is much Kiddush Hashem invilved here, there were hundreds, if not thousadns of people who booked a whole bunch of flights for themselves, fmaily, friends, etc knowing that they can check scheduling, etc later and then cancel within 24 hours any “extra” flights. So I’m sure there were many cancellations today but the companies only see that as people cancelling flights that they were never planning on taking rather than people cancelling because it is “the right thing to do”
Itchesrulik, if it is a 3rd parties fault and that 3rd party is paying El Al for the losses they caused them, why should there be any inyan for the purchaser to return it?
El Al said they are honoring it. It sounds like they legally have to so the question is whether this is a legitimate mechila or are they being forced to lose a whole bunch of money.
I heard it was a 3rd party mistake. I’m not sure how that affects El Al, can they sue whoever made that mistake?
“Wolf: 42’s point was that even if someone is smart, does not mean that what they are doing is correct or justified.”
This is indeed what I meant by the post. I did not chas v’shalom mean to compare your friend to Hitler, I was just trying to point out that “smart” does not necessarily mean “good”. There are some who can learn daf yomi and understand it and some who can only learn a few lines of gemara per day and understand it. There are many men who it is wrong for them to learn daf yomi because they don’t get much out of it and could be using their time better by covering less ground but going more in depth. L’fum tzara agra. My point was that just because she is smart doesn’t mean she was always right and many, if not most, people here on this forum believe that women learning daf yomi is wrong. I’m sorry if I offended you with the comment.
Open invitations are good when they are sincerely meant and when the guest is the type to take them up on the offer. Some people (the OP seems to be one of them) do not feel comfortable inviting themselves over even with an open invitation.
What do Canadians think of Popa humor?
Don’t tell me you don’t remember PBA’s most famous thread…
1) Run Windows Update, install all available updates including the upgrade to IE8.
2) I suggest using Firefox rather than IE (but still keep your IE up to date)
3) For the stand-by problem, go to the advanced power settings. One way to get there is right-click the desktop and choose properties. Go to the screen-saver tab and there should be an option for power settings. I suggest using Hibernate rather than stand-by (either way, make sure u don’t use it so often that u forget to reboot, most problems I have experienced were solved by a simple reboot).
5) It could be you do have viruses, make sure your anti-virus program is running and up to date, run a full scan. I would also suggest running a scan with Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (Google mbam)
6) The newer versions of Flash give you the option to have it update automatically so you don’t ever have to bother with it again.
7) It could be that you do not have administrator privileges so Windows is not allowing Flash to install.
7) There is no number 4 so I added a 2nd number 7.
11-12 NY time is my mod shift…
Chavrusa, try calling the number… (It’s actually funny considering your screenname)
What makes you think I’m Jewish? (Perhaps I’m female and therefore not Jewish)
I wonder if Joseph was there. And if so, how many seats did he have?
Can the hour of actual shiur be watched during the rest of the day?
Is Michael Phelps’s patronus a dolphin?
I think my boggart would be a broken AC.
If Hashem gave him the z’chus to be such a big supporter of Torah we should give him kavod (see Igeres haRamban for similar loshon).
There are many rich people out there who give nothing to our worthy causes. Some of these people give nothing at all. Some give to help save the whales. Some give to political parties. These people have so much money and are not zoche to use it to acquire Olam Habbah. But the people you are referring to were zoche. That says a lot. Don’t underestimate that.
if someone from Beis Shammai was invited to speak at an event, would the talmidim of Beis Hillel not come in protest?
You don’t have to agree with “the other group”‘s mehalech, but they are Jews too, they are talmidei chachamim too, and this event had nothing to do with the particular machlokes so why not have achdus? Why not put politics aside and make a kiddush Hashem and give kavod to Torah. (Unless you are considering a whole group of Jews to be apikorsim and therefore not b’chlal amisecha)
