Mazel Tov! May you build a bayis neeman biyisroel.
All chasidim have beards. They get whiter as they grow older.
“Shut up” is what popa_bar_abba says to YCT talmidot when they ask for smicha.
How about bazooka gum, is that a latkeh or kneidel?
I think you should go around to all of your neighbors’ sedarim and eat a kezayis of matzah from each one just in case yours wasn’t kosher.
I remembered to say melech oheiv tzedaka umpishpat rather than hamelech hamishpat tonight.
I also remembered to say v’lamalshinim. I’ll let popa_bar_abba tell us about all the special kavanos one should have during that bracha.
If you accidentally started saying weekday shmoneh esrei at Mincha on 1st day of Pesach, and you get past bareich aleinu, normally you just finish the current bracha then say yom tov mincha. But here, you lechora said v’sein tal umatar so do you have to start over?
This might make a nafka mina of whether you are allowed to say v’sein bracha 90 times on Yom Tov or is it considered hachana.

This is only true if your spouse is her own Rabbi. Otherwise we generally go by the husband’s minhagim and halachik rulings.
Last year, I said ka’eileh out loud for everyone to hear during the first 2 days of yom tov. This year, I did not. I didn’t talk during laining this year either… (ht The Wolf)
Because 7 ate 9
I put my tzitzis in the washing machine on regular cycle with the regular load, no shtick. They come out a bit tangled but not too bad, I untangle and hang to dry.
So basically popa is saying that many girls aren’t married because boys are mean? #hadtosayit
About the bas kol: is this bas kol by every child? Male and female? For some reason I always understood “bas ploni l’ploni” as bas ploni is meant to marry the male ploni who is about to be born. Meaning it is being said about a boy about to be born, not a girl. Now that I think of it, it can probably be read both ways.
“Bas ploni l’plony”
So every ploni has a bas ploni. But does every bas ploni have a ploni?

You seem to be equating airline miles with amex points. Even if the airlines don’t allow you to sell miles, what is stopping you from transferring your amex points into someone else’s airline account? You aren’t selling airline miles, you are selling points that happen to turn into miles. (Though if airlines have rules against this I assume amex does as well).
That being said, it seems to me that a lot of people are doing this business nowadays. The airlines aren’t dumb, they most probably know that it is going on and are allowing it to happen. From a technical standpoint it shouldn’t be that hard for them to detect it with all the technology nowadays. If they wanted to stop it, they most probably would.

I haven’t seen the movie but from reading this thread I would say that fluffy slippers are not a problem but Achasveirosh having a stomach ache is. I always wondered, did Bigson and Seresh really use a poisonous snake? Or did they stam try to poison him and the snake part was possibly made up. Also, was Seresh really Bigson’s boss?
Another point: If I were a kid, I think it would be better for me to be known by Daas Yochid then poppa bar abba 🙂
Interesting. That is the same phrase as in Yedid Nefesh. But in Tehilim it is not the end of a sentence like in Yedid Nefesh and Devorim. Though Devorim is a different form of the word.
The rhyming scheme is an interesting “proof” of how it should be read but there are some piyyutim (in slichos I think) where the Artscroll tells us to pronounce it as the correct Hebrew rather than in the form of the poem so this is not necessarily a solid proof.
Devorim 22:3 “lo suchal l’hisaleim”
Yishaya 58:7 “umibb’sar’cha lo sis’allom”.
Similar thing:
In the beginning of kaddish some use the Hebrew pronunciation of “yisgadeil v’yiskadeish” while others say the Aramaic pronunciation of “yisgadal v’yiskadash”.
Just smile has a link to it on page 2 of this thread:
I guess Aderet started producing it in 2006.
I found it on Mostly Music http://www.mostlymusic.com/the-purim-story.html
I know it was by Sruly Greenwald and clicking on the cover looks like it says by Sruly Greenwald
Spoiled Brooklyn and Lakewood people think that a 4 minute drive to a store is a huge chisaron. The bigger chisaron is the commute to work for those who work in NY or NJ. The other chisaron is getting snowed in during big blizzards such as when they gor 3 feet of snow one Shabbos a few years ago.
Otherwise, it is a beautiful community, great people, great shul, great Rav, and very affordable.
I was always bothered by the fact that many people say mezonos on pizza. The situations in which I see people doing this almost always look like kivious seuda to me.
One specific story that really bothered me was when a certain guy refused to eat a vegetable slice because he thought there might be bugs in the vegetables, yet he ate 2 regular slices without washing when he was clearly sitting down to lunch.
Perhaps Oomis’s doctor meant that using Silvadine would help reduce pain in the long term. But, since Oomis understood it as immediate, it worked via a combination of placebo effect and vasaline effect.
The difference I see between silvadine and bacitracin is that Bacitracin is thicker (I think this is the difference between an ointment and a cream). The thicker ointment keeps it covered better but also does not let it breathe as well. Silvadine is also easier to spread on the painful skin because it isn’t as thick.
Do Little Froggies use a dentist of the opposite gender?

The Mesilas Yesharim also states “the obvious”. But as the author mentions in the introduction, sometimes it is necessary to restate the obvious over and over.
I am also wondering what the first sentence has to do with the rest of the OP.
I think squeak is asking my question, what does mayim achronim have to do with lentils on one’s beard? He could have washed his hands and still left the lentils on his beard
Saw the medrash over Shabbos. Interesting…
Weiss is a Kohen. Do you want to be like him?
What does Popa’s newly married daughter from his 3rd wife (the one who he took to a beshow) hold of this thread?
What does Popa’s 5th wife hold of this thread?
Shouldn’t we hold elections?

Unlike the last Mod who got married, this shidduch is helping AZ close the age gap.
How it came to be that I got fat…
Mazel tov to a former Mod on getting engaged!
Little Froggie – that means you will be stalked by a cow with 7 screen names.
Friday was Purim in Rome, and then Shabbos so they had a 4 day Yom Tov
Perhaps you should download the latest updates for Microsoft Flu Shot and Norton Tylenol.
In Hebrew we count in base ten. After yud=10, we have kof=20, etc. Then kuf=100, etc.
That’s a good point. I think we should start a new trend where we ask not just for a picture of the girl but of her mother as well.

I’m still waiting for pba to chime in on that line… 🙂
