  • in reply to: sushi #707105

    Sushi is clumpy cold white rice with raw fish and wrapped in the green stuff that grows on the side of someone’s swimming pool.

    an almost perfect description

    i would add: green slimy stuff

    in reply to: say amen #707123

    ty you already got your answer in the second post

    the answer is no you may not say Amen on a Brocha from a recording

    in reply to: say amen #707116

    thank you

    no need, but are you allowed to say Amen?

    in reply to: The Word Chain Game – Nov 4th Game #1109136

    well i am an uncle

    but mostly im a zaide

    in reply to: The Word Chain Game – Nov 4th Game #1109134

    no uncles arent serious

    uncles are always joking

    its a requirement

    in reply to: The Word Chain Game – Nov 4th Game #1109132

    actually my uncle, A’H used to carry a large round button in his pocket that said “tuit” on it

    if someone would say, ill do it when i get around to it, he would give it to them and say, okay, here you are, now do it.

    in reply to: The Word Chain Game – Nov 4th Game #1109130

    moderators are perfect

    in reply to: say amen #707114

    in reply to: The Word Chain Game – Nov 4th Game #1109128

    in reply to: Mi Sheberach for Tzahal #707243

    However, the State of Israel presently doesn’t perpetuate any anti-Torah values; to the contrary

    the atheists that run the government of the state of Israel hate the Torah and those that love it. they hate that people view Israel as a religious country. they are doing everything they can to remove religion from the medina.

    their greatest longing is to be like all the other nations of the world and to be accepted as one of the boys.

    of course that has nothing to do with the koras ha tov that we owe to the medina (just like our koras ha tov for the mitzrim) and certainly to its army

    in reply to: Rav Moshe Feinstein: Sitting next to women on buses #706421

    And, if the latter, did he really mean that I shouldn’t learn it with my son — or even on my own, since I sometimes translate words to myself when learning by myself?

    of course neither one of us know what he said or meant. but i would presume that he at least meant that if you are going to learn his Psakim, by yourself or with your son, you should not modify your behavior without first asking a Posek how HE translates the words and interprets them and what he poskins you should do

    in reply to: Rav Moshe Feinstein: Sitting next to women on buses #706419

    And, if so, does a person have the *right* to ban anyone from translating their works that they put out in the public domain*? I don’t think they do.

    The Wolf

    (* I don’t mean “public domain” in the copyright sense — I mean as in it’s available to the public — as opposed to private papers/diaries.)

    i didnt see anything about a ban in the words of mosheemes2. i never heard that R’Moshe,tz’l banned his words from being translated

    in reply to: Why are people still smoking? #845814

    do you mean what good does it do? when you are functioning non-pathologically?

    i imagine in a state of normal panic there is probably some threat present, always a good idea to increase respiration and oxygen levels to run or fight or whatever.

    in reply to: Adult Swimming #784928

    blinky, blinky

    mice can swim, and probably faster than you

    i would suggest you run, climb a tree, or jump up on the proverbial table and scream: “EEEEEEEEEK”

    in reply to: Interesting halacha #942694

    i think it gets quite difficult sometimes.

    you dont make a Brocha on a borrowed Talis, only one you own

    who owns the shuls Talis, is it the Tzibur?

    i think it depends on what kind of financial structure of ownership the Shul has.

    who is considered a member of the Tzibur?

    im not too sure about any of this but i know it can get complicated in some cases

    in reply to: How To Talk To Children About Personal Safety #705989

    thats what needs to be done

    in reply to: Girls out of school in Monsey #708724

    thanks wolf

    i sort of knew that intuitively but couldnt put it into words

    in reply to: Girls out of school in Monsey #708722

    what does that mean exactly: “whatever”

    seems to have a similar flavor to “deal with it”

    but more laissez-faire(sp?)

    or is it fundamentally different?

    in reply to: Girls out of school in Monsey #708720

    dont be so quick to plead

    you werent indicted.

    (although i suppose “guilty as charged” does not really imply an admission of *guilt*, more a cleverish way of saying: yes, i do that, or am that, without necessarily a judgementalism)

    whatever

    in reply to: Mods? Mods? #1107920

    youre welcome

    in reply to: Girls out of school in Monsey #708717

    i didnt mean to imply it wasnt okay

    just another phrase i think wolf popularized to some extent

    deal with it.

    fair enough?

    in reply to: Girls out of school in Monsey #708715

    i think you also started “fair enough”

    alt: “fair enough then”

    in reply to: Bowling #705908

    you didnt mention this before sj

    all you said was bitul zman

    in reply to: Bowling #705903

    i dont know why you wish to turn this into a him vs her question.

    but to asnwer you

    recreation is permitted for a man and is not bitul zman, if it is done for the purpose of relaxation to improve learning which otherwise might be subject to “burnout

    in reply to: Depressing Conversation With 7th Grade BY Girl #736909

    i never answered because he question has no significance.

    and because i am not interested in participating in the cyclical discussion any further

    but i can see you have been waiting to pounce upon me with that question at the first opportunity 😉

    so here you go:

    i dont know maybe there is nothing wrong with a mouse teaching shapes

    maybe there is nothing wrong with the public library ad that is on page 42 of the toeva magazine.

    do you stand over your child EVERY second she is watching, never away for a moment, deeply concentrating and analyzing the possible effect on her from everything she sees in this pervasive media designed by goyim and atheists, constructed from their values and ideas, with the remote in your hand ready to turn this thing off in every instant?

    if so you are the only one.

    if you feel the effect is minimal, go ahead

    many people agree with you

    if you were aware with a REAL sense and perception of the holiness of a Jewish neshama, not just intellectually, if you were aware with a palpable sense of the fleetingness of this world and the reality and permanence of the world to come, and what you are risking, for a little temporary tranquility and fun, i know you would feel differently about this

    in reply to: Depressing Conversation With 7th Grade BY Girl #736906

    many years ago a great Rebbe of mine wanted to get some video tapes of childrens shows to keep his young girl, who had downs syndrome, occupied for a while, to give his wife some time to function during the day. he said he wouldnt let her watch sesame street (i dont recall why), or barney. i said barney!? what could be wrong with barney. he said the children danced in a provocative and untznius manner. i wasnt sensitive enough at the time to appreciate that until he said it, and i watched again.

    he finally decided she could watch mr rogers neighborhood and nothing else. no disney, sesame, or barney.

    and this was a child with downs syndrome.

    im sure some will argue with this, but this was a decision from a very wise man. i cant explain it any further

    in reply to: Molesters: Why Do Some In Our Community Cover For Them? #711755

    im still trying to figure that one out

    in reply to: Molesters: Why Do Some In Our Community Cover For Them? #711753

    but you wanted i suppose my logical evaluation of your argument.

    i dont have any

    in reply to: Molesters: Why Do Some In Our Community Cover For Them? #711751

    okay popa i reviewed your posts a bit

    i think you have a bit of a point but i cant really agree

    certainly there are strong influences in most cases that stimulate these people to commit these acts but that doesnt lessen (personally) my revulsion and disgust at the perpetrators as well as the acts themselves.

    i may have some feelings of pity for them, if i let myself, but this does not lessen my revulsion, and instinct for revenge as well as justice

    in reply to: Molesters: Why Do Some In Our Community Cover For Them? #711749

    sorry popa i havent been paying close attention to the arguments here

    in reply to: Molesters: Why Do Some In Our Community Cover For Them? #711747

    i wouldnt know the Halachah

    but i think he is being killed to remove a moser from this world

    not to punish him for his evil intentions

    although i would imagine that first it would be necessary to take all other possible steps towards a solution, such as trying to convince him that he is wrong.

    in reply to: Bowling #705887

    crdle

    it was a friendly joke

    Quinoa

    a species of goosefoot (Chenopodium), is a grain-like crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal rather than a true cereal, or grain, as it is not a member of the grass family. As a chenopod, quinoa is closely related to species such as beets, spinach, and tumbleweeds. Its leaves are also eaten as a leaf vegetable, much like amaranth, but the commercial availability of quinoa greens is currently limited.

    in reply to: Lets Discuss Orange Juice #705444

    maybe we do agree

    i think i misunderstood what you were saying

    for single orange “brew” you have to have special connections

    us oj connoisseurs have to be resourceful

    in reply to: Lets Discuss Orange Juice #705440

    ive heard this issue discussed before, and every Posek i know says shehakol.

    the reasoning of saying hoetz is very strong to me, an am haeretz, but of course i say shehokol, since that is the Halachah, as our Poskim tell us. why that is i have no idea.

    i very strongly disagree with you that that Halachah is wrong but we say shehakol to listen to the Gedolim even though they are wrong.

    the correct Halachah is shehakol, regardless of the reason, Minhag or whatever, that IS the Halachah because the Poskim tell us that is what we are to do.

    in reply to: PVD – Posterior Vitreous Detachment & Birth #705217

    emoticon

    pvd is absolutely no problem whatsoever in giving birth, no matter how much strain and pressure. c-section is not necessary at all.

    however pvd can sometimes be associated with certain retinal and vitreous abnormalities which should be treated (with laser) before a birth.

    anyone with pvd should be evaluated by a retinal specialist, not just a stam ophthalmologist.

    if you want to know how i am qualified to give this information, email me at [email protected]
