I have, for a long time, protested when someone called me “Rabbi” or any other variation of the word.

I’d think that a Shliach Tzibur (including a Baal Koreh) is deserving of an honorific.

The “no purchase necessary” option is needed in order to be legally considured a sweepstakes and not a lottery. It has nothing to do with being tax deductible.

I just read the fine print in my book. First of all, it does mention “no purchase necessary” so it is a legal sweepstakes and is therefore tax deductible.

The million dollar prize requires a donation, the other prizes are no purchase necessary.

So if I find a CD in a situation which I can halachicly keep it does that mean that I don’t have whatever rights the original owner had because the original owner still retains some rights?

$10 Alexander Hamilton

$100 Benjamin Franklin

$10,000 Salmon P. Chase

When the $100,000 bill was introduced it was illegal for an individual to own one but in 1964 it bacame legal to own.

Here’s what Wikipedia has on the subject:

The plants are normally tall and fairly sturdy and are often mistaken for trees, but their main or upright stem is actually a pseudostem that grows 6 to 7.6 metres (20 to 24.9 ft) tall, growing from a corm. Each pseudostem can produce a single bunch of bananas. After fruiting, the pseudostem dies, but offshoots may develop from the base of the plant. Many varieties of bananas are perennial.

I guess we should determine which varieties of banana are perennial and which aren’t.

First thread.

See, even from the start it was always about tznius.

Are you sure that’s the first thread? The OP in that thread was post #30.

The earliest post from a current poster I found is from charliehall and it is the 47th post on the CR.

Finding the earliest post isn’t as simple as iBump 2.0 claims it is as they didn’t actually succeed in finding the earliest post.

Everyone lines up by color/team and the ball, I imagine, is in the middle.

It starts in the middle but subsequent plays start where the previous one ended.

Then everyone starts fighting. Where does the ball go?

That’s not how it works in Football. One team has possesion of the ball and their aim is to get it to the goal. The other team’s aim is to take possesion of the ball for the next play.

Shouldn’t they all be fighting in one pack, with the person who actually has the one ball?

No, an all-out attack on whoever has the ball would leave other players open and whoever had the ball would just pass it to an open player.

Can someone explain to me how this RSS thing works

It doesn’t, the feature is broken.

As of a minute ago there were 130935 users.

I usually view stopovers as oppertunities to visit places that I otherwise wouldn’t visit. I visited Central Amsterdam including The Portuguese Synagogue on my stopover.

Mods: I think post# 426279 should be deleted.

I have no problem with Firefox on any IP/VPN combo. This keeps happening with Chrome.

You need to delete the YWN cookie from Chrome. If you log on with a blocked account you get to a block page and when you’re blocked you can’t access the logoff script that cleans out the cookie.

I don’t think YWN does any IP filtering.

But much of the Oilem liked him just the way he was, so why did he have to move to the left? Id love to know. Do he and his advisors think he’ll attract more customers this way? I think not, so why did he need this change?

But a good portion of his original fan base are following Rabbis who are boycotting him so he needs to find new fans. I usually don’t follow him simply because I don’t like his music but other than replacing Yiddish with English, I don’t see much of a differance between this video and his earlier releases.

Was there something objectional with my previous post on this thread or did I just forget to press “Send”?

Can we get a feature, where clicking on a thread, takes us to the most recent post/page? It is probably the most annoying thing of the CR.

Don’t ask for new features, every time they try implementing something they break something else.

Thanks Joseph. Glad you are using your new screename

Like letting threads about Facebook but not Instagram

That’s because there is no moderation standard and every mod does as he (or she) pleases.

What you cited is not a statue and is not law.

No teacher, administrator, officer, employee or agent of a school district in this State, a board of cooperative educational services (BOCES), a charter school, State-operated or State-supported school, an approved preschool program, an approved private school, an approved out-of-state day or residential school, or a registered nonpublic nursery, kindergarten, elementary or secondary school in this State, shall use corporal punishment against a pupil.

Some people may leave their ties knotted even when they take them off for the night and then just slip them on in the morning. One would have to make sure not to do this on Motzei SHabbos if it was tied on Shabbat.

Perhaps this is the reason why some don’t wear a tie for Mincha.

We know the Rashi that Eliezer the servant of Avrohom had a daughter and he wished to wed his daughter to Yitzchok.

But to be consistant with Rashi, Eliezer had to be from a cursed lineage (Canaan).
