yes but some are more common, some are more crucial
the two pointed out here are both
it doesnt bother me.
it isnt odd, its just not the way you would have done it.
approximately what percentage are you satisfied at this point, and what was the percentage after the first few explanations. if you have the time to mull that over. i just thought it might be interesting
thank you smartcookie
that is a very common and important mistake
also in Shmenoh Esrei be very careful to say ba-al gevuros NOT bal gevuros
ba-al means master of
bal means without, highly apikortic
relying on svoros for Kashrus is a dangerous and slippery road
i suppose with cough drops, which is not exactly derech achila its a bit safer
not a good habit though
so
why shouldnt he tell you to google it
he clearly meant Captain Tsubasa
. . . a tax on the desperately hopeful.
we are just lowly moderators
not software engineers
i imagine someone is listening though
you mean you guys are able to access the edit button!!?
i better talk to the boss, quick!
great suggestions!
I can’t come to the phone now because I have amnesia and I feel stupid talking to people I don’t remember. I’d appreciate it if you could help me out by leaving my name and telling me something about myself. Thanks.
I don’t want to bore you with metaphysics, but how do you know this is a voicemail? Maybe it’s a dream, or maybe it’s an illusion, or maybe you don’t really exist. One way to find out is to leave a message, and if its reality, I will call you back
This is not a voicemail; this is a telepathic thought-recording device. After the tone, think about your name, your reason for calling, and a number where I can reach you and I’ll think about returning your call
the kollel men i know are truly moser nefish
does moser nefesh have the same definition for our puny generation as it did for the giants of pre-war europe?
no.
(Again, not being judgmental)is, that sometimes someone’s personality can be judged by their name.
by Rabbi Meir, or someone else who can bring the dead back to life.
no, oomis, popa is not having a problem with the concept, but with the wording chosen to express the concept.
i think this post answers your question pretty well, take a look at it again. otherwise i dont know what else to say
read “Praise My Soul” if youre interested
i dont think youre going to understand this from the CR
We don’t say ata gibor, and then speak about Napoleon and ascribe it to Hashem- that, while true, is not the point of that praise.
yes it is the point
Atah Gibor, of course it is understood Hashem works through intermediaries. what do you think Atah Gibor means? Yam Suf? the winds? returning souls? the movements of all the celestial bodies? the birth of stars?
all through intermediaries, just like napoleon or big trucks or the movement of your muscles, no different
the point of this praise is that You and only You are the source of ALL Gevurah whether it is clear like Yam Suf or whether it is hidden, like napoleon
who is Rav Shlesinger?
thats exactly what Atah Rachum and Atah Gibor means. You and only you are the source of all Rachamim and Gevurah
the question (like most questions) has its source in lack of knowledge. i personally have no difficulty whatsoever with the answer(s)
if you said to his factory: you are cars, it would be a closer parallel
i wouldnt drive a lexus even if i could, call it reverse snobbism, i would be embarrassed. i wouldnt wear a borsalino with an outside logo for the same reason
yes an equivalent hat of another brand would be fine with me. i just dont know hats that well. i know borsalino is a good hat from reputation, and now from experience
i drive a 2000 toyota corolla
i wear a borsalino because it looks chashuv and because it lasts far longer than cheaper hats. no one knows its a borsalino unless they take it off my head and look inside
i dont see how it is anything at all like driving a lexus
i dont know
i imagine the n’veim could explain it to you
Kova Hats
5523 12th Avenue
Brooklyn, NY 11219-4104
Phone:(718) 871-2944
Rabbi Miller, tz’l says that the above IS the basic pshat that was intented in the original words. the explanation above is how to teich those words. You are Blessed, meaning Blessing comes from you.
I guess like you are light, light comes from you, dont really know how to explain the teich myself but this is what R’M,tz’l says.
ive heard it in his tapes im sure it is also in Praise My Soul”
i have also heard from other reliable sources that this is the basic pshat, but i think others argue on this.
i got my borsalino tirenno for about $150 at Kova Hats
i think they had cheaper borsalinos as well
Office of the President?
helpful
not only did they turn them over but as they walked to the deportation areas their friendly neighbors spit on them and beat them with wooden boards that had nails sticking out
chasunahs are held at numerous hotels in the area, downtown, near the airport, and in the suburbs.
dolphin bubbles
spinner dolphin
(a certain species of dolphin)
sort of
youre right
and who or what exactly is arnold benedict?
benedict arnold
and if you want to end the chain someone say arnold schwarrzenegger
enough of this conversation
indeed
chesedname
i admire your kanois
i did not hear wolf either ranting or raving.
wolf did not claim to have outsmarted the Torah, he claimed to have acted within it’s bounds.
no one here needs to be pressured to discuss the name of their Rav.
and not only is it proper to capitalize G-d, certainly respect demands to capitalize Torah.
i wanted to have hot dogs and hamburgers for one of my childrens chasunas. it didnt happen
yes we disagree on this sj
im more concerned with overmutaring
and you are more concerned with overassuring
youre right sj but i *think* sometimes the statements are worded so strongly (and not correctly) comes from the frustration of seeing people who think anything that does not have a specific issur written someplace is perfectly fine.
which is very far from the truth of the matter as well. not for Ovdei Hashem
it may not be technically assur but it is certainly improper if it is avoidable, thats the main reason for the assur bishul akum, and many other similar issurim, to prevent this type of improper mingling between the Holy People and the nations.
but its not “assur,period”
the other way around
Shalosh Seudot means 3 meals
seudah shlishis means 3rd meal
Shalosh Seudos is also acceptable
i personally call it shalashudis
driving in a lexus
could be a tznius issue, depends
tznius is about a lot more than covering certain areas
it has to do with speech, with deportment, with ostentation, with causing hirhur, to start
Lechem Mishnah
and whatever is remaining from lunch
it has everything to do with tznius
not specifically a label, but dressing to attract attention.
i dont live in any of those places
where i live what wolf said completely applies
popa
he said his neighbor
no squeak
its a kind of summary of a compilation of a number of factors:
what color your shirts are
the type of kepah you wear
who you consider to be a great Rabbi
how you feel about zionism
and numerous other qualities and factors
they are individually weighted and a value is given that represents the
M.odern O.rthodx Q.uotient of a particular person in question
it was in jest, but just for fun, not to criticize you.
you are right of course.
