Bais Yaakov maydel

at least i know the mods are still the same 🙂

the one and only. no kids yet.

omg i was WONDERING who this Jax is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol that was for you. wait asdf or asdfghjkl?

wow i probably see most of you at one point or another. this is very interesting.

hi!

where have you been young lady? Welcome back. YW Moderator-72

short and to the point thanks mdl

good shabbos everyone and thanks to all for contributing

i actually just heard s/t interesting today…perek chaf tes in bereishis…yaakov was able to lift the huge stone off the well after 14 yrs of learning and no physical activities where three strong shepherds were unable to and had to wait for help. i think its the ramban that quotes the passuk in tehillim that says “kavei l’Hashem v’yachalifu lo koach.” or s/t similar to that. basically that even if someone is physically at his weakest point, if he just trusts in Hashem then he will be given a meta-physical strength to go on—so at someones weakest point, if they hold on for one more minute or day even though they think they cant handle it…then Hashem will bring a yeshua to them and they will receive the koach to continue to fight the yetzer hora

i know what hazeet is lol got a lotta syrian friends.

and this one is even funnier it happened to my sister the guy took her to the wax museum and they decided to do the mini haunted house they have there. so my sisters like sure why not im not a lil kid anymore i wont be scared…

theyre walking and its nice and scary but in a kiddy kind of way until they get to a tiny room enough to hold maybe 5 ppl seriously and theres a wax figure standing there.

my sister goes right up to it, inches away, and says, wow it looks so real!!

well, it was real, and the guy jumoed out at her and without even thinking, she grabbed her date and just held on for a few seconds…he was shocked for a few seconds until my sister realized what she was doing and pushed him away…..they had a good laugh over that…

and they lived happily ever after 🙂

my brother-in-law now jokes that thats when he knew she was the one lol

interesting point moish about driving…though i personally know someone who considered it too un-yeshivish to drive, and he was “forced” to take drivers ed when he started dating. lol i think its kinda funny

lol good one Joseph.

i heard s.t nice about E’Y recently…for all the ladies here…Hashem is being careful with all the rockets, they miss so many times (most times actually) by just inches; we should be careful with our inches too…

i believe i just put in a nice little d’var Torah. i may be the only girl on this thread, but that doesn’t mean i cant fill in every now and then 🙂

sorry its from a few parshiyos back but then again i havent been here since a few parshios back! here goes.

“Behold–the people, the children of Israel are more numerous and stronger than we” (1:9). This passuk teaches us that when Jews act as one people, free of discord and strife, then the nations of the world see them as “more numerous and stronger” than themselves and realize that they cannot dominate the Yidden.

This can be compared to a father who invited all of his children to his home. When they arrived, he gathered them around him. The father had several thin identical twigs in his hand, and he gave one to each of his children and asked each child to break them, which they did easily.

The father then passed around a bundle of twigs tied together and asked them to break it, but none of them were able to. “You see,” the father said, “as long as you remain united in the same way that these branches are united, nobody will ever be able to harm you! But if you act divisively and there is disharmony among you, then be aware that a lone individual is as easily broken as a single thin twig.”

Bais Yaakov maydel – Thank you and welcome back! :o) YW Moderator-72

this place is the best–i feel so good lol its taking a while catching up though with all the new conversations and new people!! to be honest, i missed e/o here!

syriansephardi, im just curious: is there such a thing as someone being a syrian ashkenazi??

glad to see i was missed 🙂

j-matt….short sweet and to the point 🙂

yashrus…not as short but still sweet and to the point.

thanks to both of you.

a little early, but here’s something on parshas shemos:

“And Moshe stood up and saved them” (2:17)

The Torah tells us here how Moshe saved Tziporah, who at that time was a complete stranger. later on we read how measure for measure, Tziporah saved Moshe’s life (4:24-25). We see from this, says the Chofetz Chaim, that all the kindness that a person does for someone else is eventually repaid to him.

Whenever you do a favor for someone else, you benefit yourself. Definitely, the highest level is to do kindness for others for the sake of a mitzvah without thinking of personal gain. But whenever you find it difficult to do an act of chessed for others, at least do it for the reason that good things will occur to you in the future because of your act. When you are kind to others, they will be kinder to you. If not right away, then in time you will be repaid.

ahem my bday was on friday.

happy belated bday. YW Moderator-72

shkpyach, you leave the room.

or go running up, “hey! i heard s/t sooo similar…..”

change the topic. much easier than it sounds!

glad i could make you happy lol

i dont recall ever using the word “problem” or even implying it. you sound like you like to dramatize things.

im not trying to be a teacher here–im only two years older than you are.

just letting you know that there are other ways to BREATHE–as in, eyn Torah ella mayim–we cant live without Torah, the same way we cant live without water.

im sure you can understand that, from what ive read in your posts, youre not stupid.

you probably just dont wanna deal with this stuff.

and whatever i say wont help that.

so i think ill stop chattering away now like im some experienced expert or something…lol.

im getting carried away here, arent i…i cant stop typing.

someone help me.

whats with me?

probably cuz i have more to say…but its not so nice so i wont say it.

moish, i hope we can chat on more neutral topics in the future.

refuah shelaima

maybe! hes coming home Pesach time…

wow typical dont-wanna-listen-to-anything-kiruv-oriented.

the name duznt always accurately tell what kinda person someone is. i could very well have been the same as you a while back…

just keep your mind open.

dont be so negative about things, like my post.

dont “expect” things–be ready to take things as they are.

you didnt answer my question.

wanna get specific asd?

have some seichel…the one i heard is that 09/11/01 backwards is 01/11/09.

that would be tomorrow, sunday.

one sec…backtracking for a little….are we comparing moish with Joseph? not possible…totally different.

back to the original thread….

…when you know people so well here you can start making shidduchim.

areivim, i was kidding, i wasnt that embarrassed. it was just unexpected lol.
