–

when i was there any person could have eaten on either side of the room with no one stopping me from taking my pizza to the meat side of the wall.

And even if you had done so, the next customer would still have gotten Kosher food.

To tell the truth, I have brought outside drinks into a Kosher restaurant, so I don’t know if I can be trusted.

As to others practicing it the Christians believe JC was born by immaculate conception. If that isn’t crazy what is?

I’m not sure whether I should point out that Mormons don’t believe in immaculate conception, That fundamentalist are a tiny minority (if it wasn’t for polygamy you wouldn’t know they existed), Or that the poster has no idea what immaculate conception even means.

Everyone has issues. If you think it is a good match despite the issues go ahead, but just don’t hide the issues.

This is an easy one: “shibboleth”.

There are 2 ways to do it, either put it in a watertight container or allow some other substance to be absorbed in the fibers to block out water.

In fact, a huge chillul Hashem was caused not too long ago when a chareidi “beis din” was caught going TOO far to enforce giving gittin.

If they had acted more like a Beis Din and put more effort into doing due diligence rather than trying to get a big payout, they wouldn’t have been such an easy target.

It said Lakewood, Lakewood is a cithy [sic]

I know, I’m also wrong for using the term “city” in my previous post but if you want to get technical the only city on the list is Passaic. Brooklyn is a borough, Lakewood is a township, Monroe is a town, and Monsey is a hamlet.

I decided to look at the return policy using the WayBack Machine. The page at first had no such list, then a list of 3 cities and then 5 cities.

In order to earn this savings they are going to have stagger the starting and ending times.

Compared to other schools, the starting and ending times of Yeshivas are already staggered. And compared to Brooklyn and Monsey, more Yeshivas (at least that’s my perception) are using bussing contractors that can take advantage of the staggered times.

The terminal is at 1st & Lexington, there are a number of restaurants on Clifton Avenue which is 1 block away from Lexington.

After exiting the terminal make a left on 1st street (crossing the bus exit) and the first intersection will be Clifton.

(Some routes allow drop-offs at intersections along the route but there is no luggage access except at designated stations.)

The peeling process uses steam.

I’ve never seen the Kosher cans in mainstream stores, but there are other brands that are consistently Kosher.

I prefer fresh local tomatoes. I once asked the White House kitchen what tomatoes they use but they never answered me.

Natural means not assembled from chemicals. Things such as pig blood and ground up insect are natural since they were made from genuine pigs and genuine insects.

Not really. Natural means that the flavor component comes from the item in question and artificial means the flavor comes from something else.

There is more than just the flavor component so it may need a hechsher regardless if it is natural or artificial.

It’s no better than an elevator,

Elevator doors have a number of safety sensors that aren’t on escalators,

No, if local governments can’t keep the fines they wouldn’t enforce the traffic laws.

Just checked the definitions article in the Vehicle and Traffic laws. They aren’t defined as Bicycles, In-line skates, Roller skates, Skate boards, or Vehicles so I don’t know what laws would apply to them.

How do they get Pride of the Farm milk in the New York metro area? Kreider Farm does not participate in the Milk Marketing Order that covers NYC.

And when did Pride of the Farm start producing Half & Half? I can’t find Pride of the Farm Half & Half on any Star-K lists.

I asked a rav and he told me that two people should not say a beracha at once even if they are two men. I presume that that is because of “trei kallei la shaamei” (two voices are not heard) so they did not motzi the listeners. However, it probably does not possel the kiddushin. In general, berachot are not me’akev.

That’s if a third party needs to Motzie. Is there anyone else in this instance who needs to hear the Brocha?

Always buy the best quality you can afford, it’s less expensive in the long run than buying lesser quality.

I don’t thing anyone is buying a Patek Philippe watch because they think in the long run it’s cheaper than a Tag Hauer (or Rolex) watch.

Even if my Mondaine breaks today, I’m still better off than if I had purchased a Rolex (which I couldn’t have afforded at the time).

Back to the topic at hand, I expect that the typical reader of these magazines doesn’t have your watch budget. The existence of these ads leaves me to come to one of the following conclusions:

• The advertisers are wasting their money on these ads.
• The financial state is not as bad is I perceive it.
• People are spending more than reasonable amount for watches.
• I’m wrong about what is reasonable.

Merino wool can be made just as soft and thin as cotton and it reacts better to sweat than cotton, the problem is that AFAIK no one makes a Talis Katon from Merino wool.

Before the advent of synthetic fibers, athletes would typically wear wool, not cotton.

I would like to suggest that a minhag of a conservative kehilla does not have the halachic binding of a minhag. A minhag is considered sacred in halacha for the reason that, whoever instituted the minhag, understood all of the talmudic background sources, and after careful deliberation the concencus was to act in that manner.

This practice predates the conservative or even the reform movement.

What if is says ??”? [sic]?

The easterners were far too poor to afford both a Talis and Tefillin for the Bar Mitzvah boy. The boy might even receive the Tefillin of a dead ancestor, but the dead ancestor was buried in his Talis and it was not available for reuse.

The practice of Eastern Europeans not wearing a Talis as Bar Mitzvah predates the era when Western Europe was considered wealthier than Eastern Europe.

I think 79 and Quacky made a bet that they wouldn’t receive a Form W-2G.

There used to be a Paradise Pen store there.

One is the regular plastic jar with a Gefen sticker (Volover Rav’s hechsher) as an extra seal over the container (the kind zdad would have a fit about).

I generally don’t like the stickers but in this case, it’s actually inkjetted that it is a special run for Gefen.

Currently I use Tasters Choice/Gefen. I grew up with Maxwell House.
