YW Moderator-80Member
oh….
nevermind
YW Moderator-80Memberyou dont wave it separately from the Arbah Minim. you just grasp it and wave it along with the Lulav, etc. thats why its called a Lulav holder.
there is no Minhag to wave it separately, so i dont think anyone can tell you the correct way to do that, if you want to for some reason
YW Moderator-80Memberi wish i was on a madreiga where i could answer something more “holy”
but my favorite part is taking afternoon naps in the Sukkah on Chol HaMoed

reminds me of Dovod HaMelechs dancing in the streets with abandon with his love of Hashem, and his wife (Michal i think) wrongly criticized him for his lack of decorum
YW Moderator-80Memberlactose intolerance has nothing to do with sensitivity or allergy.
it is the genetic lack of an enzyme which is necessary to break down lactose in the intestine.
allergies have to do with the bodys overreaction of the immune system to a particular foreign molecule
YW Moderator-80Memberyep sounds like an allergy
YW Moderator-80Memberthere is such a thing as a milk allergy but most people who supposedly have this are actually lactose intolerant, which can not be treated by allergy shots
October 10, 2011 10:17 pm at 10:17 pm in reply to: Is it mutar to tie a string to the schach? #816122YW Moderator-80Memberi dont think kavua is the problem, i think kavua is a problem in re to the Schach not the Succah
YW Moderator-80Memberim totally guessing here
im an am haaretz in regard to these Halachos
maybe because the house is considered karka
and the stake is a cli?
YW Moderator-80Memberjothar your logic is flawed
perhaps he holds that women ARE kosher for aidus and are therefore kosher for dayanus.
it would come out then, that he is arguing on the Torah, not on Gedolim.
YW Moderator-80Memberyoure right toi
im sorry
but there was an important toeles
YW Moderator-80Membertrue.
i personally think Rabbi Akiva Eiger, tz’l was mistaken in many of his Tshuvim, i have better answers, but i certainly respect his right to have his opinion as well.
YW Moderator-80MemberBasically, it doesn’t hold the schach down in a “ruach metzuah”, but it does so in a “ruach she’aino metzuah”, and therefore is permissable
i had this shaila and asked a Posek
he answered as you yourself concluded
and as haleivi stated.
although he said if possible i should use lulav leaves to tie it down, which i was unable to do.
YW Moderator-80Memberkeep trying to reach a Posek
YW Moderator-80Memberplease, please
the following is from an article in the nyt
EVERY CASE IS DIFFERENT
but if you are unable to reach a Posek who is familiar with eating disorders, and only as an emergency, i found this
YW Moderator-80Memberdont know of any heterim for bochrim specifically
i believe we are all called an istinus today in america
perhaps tzar from the cold
fear of muggers, animals
inability to sleep due to those and other discomforts
dont know really
YW Moderator-80MemberLast time, I promise
b’li neder of course
YW Moderator-80Memberdont know
my browser doesnt say anything but im using ie7, i have no choice in this.
i doubt if they would put this on a dangerous site
but if you can look into it and find a problem ill remove the link
YW Moderator-80Memberthere are numerous heterim
many Poskim say if your wife, who may not have a Mitzvah to sleep in the Sukkah, wishes not to, then the husbsnd has a heter to not sleep in the Sukkah, and it may even be preferable to NOT sleep in the Sukkah, as that is not his normal way of life to sleep apart.
similar to those who eat in the Sukkah (not the first night) when it is raining, who are called fools.
YW Moderator-80MemberThe final day of judgement is right ahead
Reflecting on my actions, the words I’ve said
I’m beginning to feel the rush
I’m welled up with emotions, I’m insecure
Even with this preparation, I don’t know for sure
If it could ever be enough
But I can only do my best
And You’ll determine the rest
I’m standing
Before You
I’m bending on my knees
I’m trying
To reach You
And I’m begging, please
Forgive me
Forgive me
I’m bending on my knees
Forgive me
Forgive me
Yes, I’m begging please
Forgive me
Teshuva, Tefillah, Tzedakah is what I yearn
Just changing my direction with a single turn
Can completely change my fate
The crying of the Shofar, a song so pure
Reminds me that You’re knocking, waiting at the door,
I just hope I’m not too late
But I can only do my best
And You’ll determine the rest
I’m standing
Before You
I’m bending on my knees
I’m trying
To reach You
And I’m begging, please
Forgive me
Forgive me
I’m bending on my knees
Forgive me
Forgive me
I’m bending on my knees
Forgive me
Forgive me
Yes, I’m begging please
Forgive me

YW Moderator-80Memberyunger
to bold: use “strong” instead of “bold”
YW Moderator-80Membersam2
youre talking about sugar-alcohols
they are found only in “sugarless” or diet candies
regular candy doesnt have that problem
and even with “sugarless” candie youd have to eat a very large amount to even have a minor effect
YW Moderator-80Memberi did
YW Moderator-80Memberbread in general is not funny.

YW Moderator-80Memberi know

YW Moderator-80Memberits grammar.
YW Moderator-80Memberpopa
did you forget to take our medicine again this morning?
YW Moderator-80Memberof course my sweet children
i have no place for anger within my soul
it is too filled with love, for anything else to be there.
i just wanted to show you how ugly anger can be
it was so hard for me to do it but my love knows no bounds
perhaps i was too harsh?
oh i surely hope not
goodness no

i think the moderator needs some self-moderating here
YW Moderator-80Memberits kind of like: it is fine if your Rav says you can do it. (even if your rav is named debbie).

YW Moderator-80Membergo ahead, i dare you
YW Moderator-80MemberIt’s our choice how we’d like to see things
as in the Gemorah where the Rebbe says to his Talmidim: notice how white its teeth are.
YW Moderator-80Memberyou really want to give that stuff to your kids because they have trouble falling asleep lately?
even if the nature magazines ARE full of glowing testimonials (and hugely marked up prices)
YW Moderator-80Memberby the way adorable melanin and melatonin are two totally different things
melatonin is a hormone that is probuced in the brain and circulates throughout the body
melanin is a pigment found predominantly in the skin.
YW Moderator-80Membermelatonin is secreted by the pineal gland of the brain and has effects on other hormones of the body
“The effect of melatonin on reproductive systems can be summarized by saying that it is anti-gonadotropic. In other words, melatonin inhibits the secretion of the gonadotropic hormones luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone from the anterior pituitary. Much of this inhibitory effect seems due to inhibition of gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus, which is necessary for secretion of the anterior pituitary hormones.”
YW Moderator-80Memberfrom the mayo clinic:
“melatonin side effects may include:
Daytime sleepiness, Dizziness, Headaches, Abdominal discomfort, Confusion, Sleepwalking, Nightmares.
Melatonin may interact with various medications, including:
Blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants), Immunosuppressants, Diabetes medications, Birth control pills.
It’s thought that taking melatonin for longer than two months may be harmful, and the best dose of melatonin isn’t certain.
If you take melatonin, make sure the supplements are made of artificial ingredients, not made from animals. Melatonin from animals can contain viruses or other contaminants.”
YW Moderator-80Memberthats true
i plan to email them with the kapitlach that my Shul is noheg to say so they can make a Machzor just for us. my muscles are getting sore from all that page turning and trying to support such a heavy Machzor. i just cant figure out why they would include kapitlach that i am not noheg to say.
YW Moderator-80Memberas far as my speculation as to your giving your children high doses of vit d, i see i misread your post and i apologize.
as far as YOUR conjecture of my lack of knowledge of vitamins and how they differ from pharmaceuticals, i assure you that you are very wrong.
YW Moderator-80MemberI will reiterate: Don’t just lump all pills into the same catagory and label them as bad!!
and i reiterate, i did not lump them all into one category, and i didnt label them all as bad, e.g. i clearly stated that herbal treatments can be effective.
if you read the beginning of my post you will see that my entire point was not that the contents of pills are what i was particularly objecting to but on the reliance on them to treat normal life events.
YW Moderator-80Memberon the other hand there is some validity to HERBAL medicine. of this there is no doubt, although its very, very difficult to separate the truth from the hype about how to use them.
but VITAMINS as therapeutic agents. pure quackery
YW Moderator-80Memberits not the content of the pill i am referring to, its the reliance on pills, whatever chemical they contain, for the solving of normal life experiences.
and there is nothing magical about vitamins
they are CHEMICALS that our bodies need in minimal amounts for proper functioning. more than that amount they do nothing.
because vit a is necessary for vision to function it does not mean that vit a given in high doses will improve vision
there was a strong (well deserved) backlash against the medical establishment at its heday about 40 years ago. but instead of learning that we need to deal with the causes of problems, we the laymen can just use vitamins instead of pharmaceuticals. we can be in control of our health, not the doctors!
it went over big and became a billion dollar industry
replete with multi-million dollar budgets for madison avenue advertising (very well disguised as “holistic”, caring experts)
to squeeze money out of an ignorant public anxious to become their own health care providers
vit c was the wonder pill of the seventies, then vit e of the eighties and nineties. both proven again and again to be useless in quantities greater than the minimum to prevent deficiencies.
now its vit D
i bet you give your kids vit d in high doses, dont you?
its the latest overhyped vitamin fad
even the doctors are prescribing it (if you cant lick em join em)
YW Moderator-80Memberyou can call me m-80 if you want
YW Moderator-80Memberi dont like the idea of giving the child a pill to help him fall asleep, not at all.
he will be indoctrinated by the medical establishment soon enough that for every problem there is a pill.
i dont care if the pill is calcium or melatonin or a placebo, this is NOT a good idea for the child, and not a good idea for you to look to pills to solve your childs problems.
YW Moderator-80Membertoi
to defend sam2 for a change,
he has made exactly what he is saying very clear, especially in his last post.
YW Moderator-80Memberyunger
were not fighting it out
i also apologized
totally due to my ignorance of what some people deem an insult
