there really is no “official” english form for any Hebrew name. there is no “proper” translation. there is for some names a particular english abberation of the Hebrew name which is more common and thus more accepted by the non Jewish world. generally this has come about because that’s how the name was mispronounced by the translators of the “new” testament. art scroll generally uses those mistranslations in their english versions. that always bothered me but im sure they have their reasons. i would much prefer to see Avrohoms son be translated as Yitzchak than Isaac.
some pinchases use philip
We say it as a preface to learning Avos, but I don’t recall that Mishna actually being in Avos.
i think youre right.
its also in Pirkei Avos
i dont think atilla capitalizes his name.
Any suggestions?
i suggest you tell us what p3 is
smart
im guessing because it sound somewhat similar (begins with k sound, ends in n sound and is 2 syllables) besides it’s a nice name.
I have always been one to feel lavish spending on Mitzvahs is not correct. I still feel the answer that one can do what one wants since its ones own money is the wrong answer. one is merely a shliach for Hashem.
But wolf brings up an interesting point i havent considered. ill have to think about it.
It clearly is annoying. I personally would consider it an opportunity to work on my own Kavanah and skills at concentrating and becoming immersed in my Tefilos enough to not notice outside distractions of any sort, such as this, or talking, or construction outside.
But if this fails certainly the best approach would be to tell the Rav of the Shul of your problem and ask him to help if it is possible.
I wouldn’t say anything to the disturber myself. Unless you are better at speaking to people than me, most likely nothing will be accomplished except frustration, further anger and animosity between two Yidden, whether you are right, or not.
Meatball fudge ripple is pretty bad but it cant compete with (combination of above)
herring-sauerkraut-vanilla swirl
Sauerkraut and Fudge?
Another flavor I really don’t like is Herring Ice Cream.
If this thread stalls we can open one on your least favorite flavor.
Mine is black licorice.
Actually, Moderator 72 once had me bring him some coffee there, but he didn’t even open the door. Just had me put it down outside the door and leave.
They tell me that if I keep working on my coffee brewing skills, someday I too will be allowed to live there, but I think they don’t really mean it.
MOQ also as an acronym for: Moderator Officers Quarters. It’s located on the 14th floor of Moderator Hall. I’ve never been invited there, but I hear it’s quite plush.
I thought everyone knew this
Moq is a .NET Framework library for creating mock objects. It leverages C# 3.0 lambda expressions, typically used in Test Driven Development and Behavior Driven Development.
no
but ill change from chocolate mint to chocolate
also its seuss
The only way you’ll find success before work is in the dictionary.
its a little sharper if you say “the only PLACE”
Ice cream really comes in different flavors? When did that happen?
“Nearly three-quarters of a century ago, two brothers-in-law shared a dream to create an innovative ice cream store that would be a neighborhood gathering place for families. Burton “Burt” Baskin and Irvine “Irv” Robbins had a mutual love of old-fashioned ice cream and the desire to provide customers a variety of flavors made with ingredients of the highest quality in a fun, inviting atmosphere.”

The Torahdik approach is far more inclusive than even the greatness of Halachah.
There is nothing more Torahdik than appreciating everything around you.
It is the point
I’m just saying wolf we here in the modern world live our lives in darkness and laziness and have forgotten how to devote ourselves to Hashem. We just dont think about it.
We just dont see it.
It just doesnt exist for us
except for a glimmer here and there.

im saying that IDEALLY, on a madreiga that we all should strive for, a madreiga few ever reach, a madreiga described in the Chovos ha Levovos and many other places, yes your personal preference (translated: a stronger taivah) should NOT be a factor in the choice unless you choose the sandwich associated with the stronger pleasure because you wish to increase your pleasure for the sake of being more grateful to Hashem.
If theoretically all other things are equal (which they never are if you think deeply enough into your choices) then perhaps you are right.
Or perhaps one should choose against the sandwich which his taivohs dictate, in order to strngthen himself spiritually via the wonderful Midah of Preishus. This madreiga can be achieved by many, even us little people
the Halachah of tying shoes is a good start, but you can add to it.
simple. dont just take your laces for granted. imagine all the frusration you would have all day long if you didnt have laces. remember the last time your laces broke? take a second, just a second while you are tying your laces. thank Hashem for them. every morning. you will be doing yourself a favor and strengthening your Emunah. Hashem will be happy with you. Your Olam Ha Boh will increase. What an opportunity!
or think of the Halacha that a Jew is mchuyiv to give his life rather than change his Jewish laces for goyish ones, under conditions of a shmad.
chocolate mint
wolf however even re your sandwich choice, although i dont know about a din v chesbon, i am fairly sure that a Godol faced with such a choice would calculate the decision with a cheshbon (i cant imagine what it would be, possibly health considerations or some Inyon in the Gemorrah about fish or eggs)and not merely based on a war of taivahs.
okay, driving
think of the real sakana you are in and how so many things can go wrong, and are not in your control. speak to Hashem and ask him to get you to your destination in safety.
use the opportunities as other drivers irritate you to control your responses and your anger. think that everything that happens to you is min ha shamayam and under the control of Hashem.
realize that however aggressively you feel like driving you will get there when Hashem wants and not a hairsbreath sooner.
think of the marvels of engineering of the car, even that some dead oil is giving your car the energy it needs al pi Hashem. arouse your gratitude to Hashem for giving you the car.
use the opportunities of shmiras ha ayin. turn stones into diamonds.
i could go on
Or drive mindlessly and think only of your next meal. As beheimohs would, if they could drive
youre right wolf, i forgot.
Is there anything else, squeak, you would like to learn the proper way to perform? Talking to someone, driving a car, tying your shoes?
There is a Torah way to do everything, even wolfs famous tuna sandwich. You can eat it to enjoy all its properties (taste smell texture color etc)while appreciating it and thanking Hashem for bringing t to you, and thinking of all the wonders with which Hashem made it, and how it gives you strength, and protein to replace worn out parts and all the other marvels contained within the sandwich, thereby coming closer to Hashem and strengthening your Emunah. And have in mind how you will use this strength and renewal to serve Hashem, and improve yourself.
Or, you can eat it the same way a beheimah does, to satisfy your cravings, and nothing else.
i did it on the facebook thread. did it work?
May I ask that such links be enclosed in proper code
what does that mean?
You wouldn’t make me happier if I don’t know you.
I dont believe that.
people crave respect, kvod, recognition, and interest, even in small ways. everyone likes to be greeted and smiled to.
i didnt think you were TRYING to aggravate anyone. just being humorous.
*****It is rude and a chillul Hashem to greet the opposite gender, even if not an issur.
How can it be a Chillul HaShem but not an issur? Isn’t making a Chillul HaShem assur in-and-of-itself?
The Wolf*****
clearly implied was: “even if not an issur in and of itself”
i waited for quite a while to spoil your fun, but no sense needlessly aggravating people.
it doesnt impact your question as an interesting theoretical one, but its starting to look (in later news) like this might be a scam.
wolf is a baal koreh, that’s why he “talks” during laining.
i dont keep a record
go to the main page
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/
scroll down to the bottom, the section of “Forums”
its about 25 up from the bottom: “Fievels Wonders of Creation”
i dont get it, whats so funny?
this thread brought back memories of one of fievels posts back when he brought us weekly “wonders of creation”
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/a-whale-of-a-fisherman
on that web page they recommend this link as being more comprehensive:

i dont know what you are referring to
I personally wont be receiving any money
i am merely the humble emissary of Reb Menachem of Kliosk
possibly
i have a feeling i will be retiring and moving to the Bahamas soon. they will need a replacement
yes you can send it to fabie as well.
his paypal account is the same as mine: [email protected]
WAIT!!!!
hold everything
just after i sent in my previous post i started to feel faint and think i passed out. in any case i had a vision. A VERY CLEAR AND UNDENIABLE VISION. the great kabbalist Reb Mendel of Kiosk came to me. he said the heavenly court needs my help. they are ready to bring everlasting peace on earth EVEN TODAY. but they need a moderator from yeshiva world to get a mere 100 people here to prove their loyalty to the Am Yisroel.
all you have to do to prove your loyalty is to send me $100. when 100 people have done so they will bring on the ERA of PEACE.
this may be done through paypal. unfortunately i cannot accept visa or mastercard at this time. payment should be made to [email protected]
i think we already took a number of steps back already wolf. this is clearly a meaningless email as the follow up posters have expressed. no one is taking it seriously
