It works. Hashem doesn’t want a bracha l’vatala (not that it would be), so He fulfils the bracha. We have the same principle of Hashem fulfilling a bracha to avoid a l’vatala elsewhere in Yiddishkeit.
Very frequently children collect Tzedaka where I am (in shul, at home or on the street), and it gives me the greatest pleasure (and not to mention Mitzvah) to give Tzedakah to these Tinokos Shel Beis Raban for their very worthy causes.
Tina: If the guys don’t collect it, you are taking away the Mitzvah of giving Tzedaka from so many people who would have given had someone collected and otherwise didn’t give.
And, there is a humongeous Mitzvah in collecting Tzedaka for the Yeshiva too.
Collecting Tzedaka for a Yeshiva is a Mitzvah Rabba that should never be given up.
zichmich: What if a customer has another third-party Esco (not ConEd). Will they still save by switching to Ambit? (Talking about just being a plain cosumer of their product and nothing to do with joining their selling program.) Or are other esco’s (non-coned) cheaper than Ambit?
I hope zichmich addresses the points about Ambit asked.
He can nullify it as soon as he finds out that she made the shvua. But he has to do it right away. A father can also nullify his unmarried daughter’s shvua.
They can do it since she is in his reshus.
Because I need to relax. Are you saying they need to wear a too short skirt?
Can someone please explain the reason why a girl might be struggling to dress tznius?
Has anyone asked their LOR about a hospital birth?
Flatbush Dude: Why? It’s quite popular lately.
Goq: The male equivelent is an alte bochor.
Uh moderator, poster dd just made a derogatory comment about a godol. How’d that slip in?
That’s what they say, Sam. (Many, not all. Some are sincere.) But they are really just trying to save some bucks.
Yungerman1 is correct.
It has to be a certain amount below the knee, whether it’s 4″, 3″, or 6″ – whatever is needed keep the knee and above covered when sitting or walking or getting in a car. The 4″ is a rule of thumb for most girls that is taught in the vast majority of Litvish and Chasidish Beis Yaakov’s, since it works for for most and you need to give a fixed number or otherwise many people won’t know how much longer it should be.
apy: NASI does wish to lower the average age boys get married at. To that end, as AZ alluded to above, they wish to “modify” the freezer.
How does NASI want to force the freezer system to change, AZ?
She had nothing to say? She should have been raving!
AZ: The 70 Rabbonim did not endorse this. They simply agreed that the age gap was an issue. So why are you trying to bowtrow KKH with the implication they have endorsed what they never endorsed, with your false comment of “the Rabbonim and R”Y who put their name to the program see things a bit different than you…”
The Rabbonim and R”Y did NOT put their name to this new program.
I think he said Shalom Aleichem but not Aishes Chayil.
How does anyone send you a resume?
Many gentiles abuse drugs and alcohol, among many other things. Jews don’t suffer so much those ills, but often abuse food instead.
Who said otherwise? Unless your point is that halacha shouldn’t be discussed among laymen and no halacha discussions should take place.
Get yourself a decent for $100, and save your money from this alkaline ionizer business.
99 out of 100 are on the losing-end of a MLM business.
The Chazon Ish’s position is that she needs to cover all the way to the ankles. The tefach is only for hair, and according to Rav Moshe a b’dieved.
How do you know that she cried?
About once every two weeks.
What does it say about it?
Calm down everyone and follow your own hanhagos and minhagim and allow others to follow theirs. That a godol disagreed is standard practice. Rabbonim agree and disagree on minhagim and halachas all the time. The Gerrers have Gedolim of their own that established these. Respect that. Especially the folks here that on other threads are running around demanding respect for their own kulos and hashkafa that very many Gedolim were very against.
Considering that Shulchan Aruch says to say Tikun Chatzos, why isn’t everyone (actually almost no one?) saying it (at midnight or at all)?
How about making a second or third minyan so everyone can daven for the amud?
Anyone know if there are benefits to this super-expensive (multi-thousands $) water filter? Brand name might be Kangen. It is a stand-alone unit that converts tap water for drinking. Supposedly removes pesticides, herbicides, chemicals from tap water. 2.5 pH.
DY: Are you saying that Rav Belsky was only matir immedIate family to borrow an original CD?? I believe you can loan your CD (to listen to) to anyone, just as you can loan anyone your Sefer or watch.
dash: Vint was one of the founding fathers of the internet, but hardly the only.
OOM: The topic here isn’t the history of packet switching or network topologies. It is the Internet. The ARPANet is the first first forerunner network of today’s internet, regardless of what network technology it utilized. NSFNet is the second forerunner network of the internet. NSFNet internetworked with the existing ARPANet. That’s when it became knowns as the internet. NSFNet had restrictions on commercial use. It was decommisioned in ’95. I’ve been involved with the network since ’91, and know this stuff without Google.
+1 longarekel. You are the only one who gave the correct response and put it as simply as it is.
I usually hear about U-Turn tickets on majot streets.
OOM: And who, exactly, do you think could claim being the predecessor, or inventor, of the internet? Specifically. What I wrote above is entirely factual and correct.
Btw, ArpaNet was build for LD communications and was in fact designed to withstand a nuclear attack.
TCP/IP — the technology the internet is based on — came about with the NSFNet (that I referenced above) in the ’80’s, which interconnected to the ARPANet, thus making the Internet.
The United States Military in 1969. Specifically, DARPA. It was originally called ARPANet. Later, in the early 1980’s, the U.S. National Science Foundation joined the network, and it became the Internet. Later in the ’80’s, many U.S. (and later international) universities joined, followed by coroporate entities, followed by ISP’s for the general public in the early ’90’s.
