in Vizhnitz, the Lecha Dodi tune is customarily changed at Vehayu Limshisah, not Lo Saivoshi, as is the minhag elsewhere. I’ve heard that this started when the Vizhnitzer Rebbe moved to Grosswardein after World War I. The shul in Grosswardein was nusach Ashkenaz, and when the Rebbe went to daven from the amud there, they told him that their minhag is to sing Lecha Dodi, which was not done in Vizhnitz until then. So the Rebbe sang. He didn’t change to a more leibedig song for Lo Saivoshi, though, and the crowd only reminded him to do so when he reached Vehayu Limshisah. Nothing happens by chance — and so that became the Vizhnitz minhag.

BaltimoreMavenParticipantI can’t explain it but my kids also like these shirts
I think it has something to do with the name brand
But also they can get them super custom fit. I personally would never fit into them.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantduct tape refers to a range of tapes manufactured using three components – a rubber-based adhesive, cloth, and a backing. The term “duck tape” today refers to a specific brand of duct tape. Duck Brand® duct tape takes its name from the original name of duct tape
Why did duck tape become duct tape?
It was commonly used in construction to wrap air ducts. Following this application, the name “duct tape” came into use in the 1950s, along with tape products that were colored silvery gray like tin ductwork. Specialized heat- and cold-resistant tapes were developed for heating and air-conditioning ducts.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantWhite reflects heat better than blue. Clearly they felt a person who doesn’t know that isn’t a good fit.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantPart of tort reform is doing away with many clasa actions. Do you realize that too many times we have needed class actions to accomplish changes that never otherwise would have happened? Asbestos. Cigarettes. Car manufacturers who deliberately choose to avoid a recall to fix a defect because the recall will cost more than paying out a few wrongful death claims. It’s easy to criticize the system until you need it. If there is fraud then address that, not taking down the entire system
BaltimoreMavenParticipantUJM and other critics
I hope you never need an attorney to represent you
I hope you are never injured and get a small tort award
There is a jury system set out in the law for a reason. You think you know better than the jury. Vote with your feet and move to Canada.
BaltimoreMavenParticipant*Young girl rescued from gun safe inside North Carolina sporting goods store-*
• Firefighters had to cut into a gun safe inside a Wilmington, North Carolina sporting goods store to rescue a little girl stuck inside.
• Authorities say the girl’s sister accidentally locked her inside the safe and the workers at the store didn’t have a key, so they called 911.
• The firefighters were able to cut the hinges off the safe and get the girl out.
I guess not all safes are crackproof
BaltimoreMavenParticipantOur Shabbos Sheva Brochos was at camp MaNaVu with 1000 people I never met before.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantHow are you supposed to see the haircut if you don’t have a mirror?
BaltimoreMavenParticipantThe Chassidishe Kollel and kehillah have integrated nicely. Everyone in Baltimore loves and appreciates the Chassidim. They do daven everywhere but that shows they have integrated. There are at least 4 Chasssidishe shuls like Taubs Eichenstein Kedushas Yisroel Sternhills and a fee other nusach sefard shul as well. ..at least two of the Kollel Yungeleit give shiurim at other shuls in the community and upcoming Lag BaOmer bonfire gets hundreds of attendees across the spectrum.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantAnd in Baltimore the Kollel is growing, the Mosdos are growing, working baalei batim are moving to town and housing is cheap. It’s the next Lakewood. Get in on the ground floor!!
BaltimoreMavenParticipantMeir G
You are 100% wrong. The QUALITY of life out of town is amazing and anyone who left NY to come to Baltimore as an example raves about the trees, grass, kess traffic, healthy living, excellent mosdos etc etc. There is Chassidishe shechita and cholov Yisroel milk and an eruv everyone holds by.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantDetroit It’s nice. They have cheap housing
Chicago is nice too
Both of them you need to get on a plane to reach from new york
Is same with florida and phoenix
Baltimore is affordable and three hours away by car
BaltimoreMavenParticipantThere are 16 pages of hock and information on ivelt with this title
התיישבות פון חסידישע משפחות אין באלטימאר, מערילענד
BaltimoreMavenParticipantYO a Chassidishe Kollel has Chassidishe Yungeleit and learns mainly halacha lemaaseh to my understanding. These are serious learning Yungeleit
BaltimoreMavenParticipantBaltimore has a full preschool and full girls school and a real cheder.
Vouchers for daycare pay for the daycare costs if the mother works or is in school or otherwise qualifies.BaltimoreMavenParticipant150 children altogether throughout the Mosdos. The Kollel has about 20 full time learning Yungeleit. Google Chassidish Baltimore or Baltimore Chassidish Kollel. There are tons of articles and even ongoing programs to incentivize people to move. The Mosdos add a grade every year as the community grows. And there are tons of Chassidim like Rabbi Eichenstein, Rabbi Taub and others who have sent to local Mosdos before the Kollel opened and their kids are 100% Chassidish.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantBaltimore has had a Chassidishe Kollel for 8 years. The Mosdos have 150 children bli ayin hora in a daycare (licensed with vouchers), preschool, girls school and cheder up to Kittah Vuv. Chassidishe shechita, solid Eruv and affordable housing. 50 shuls in town including Kedushas Yisroel and the Chassidishe Kollel run by Rav Amrom Jungreis who is the Domet”z in Netai Gavriel Beis Din. They have had over 100 families come for Shabbos and a few dozen are actively looking to buy houses and to move.

BaltimoreMavenParticipantCall 1800-DISCRIMINATION
BaltimoreMavenParticipantAddict – it does but it’s also an interesting standalone issue
BaltimoreMavenParticipantAvira – pretty much everything goes after the intentions. Point being that it can be permissible but the mailbag letter indicated it was never permissible. Just saying.
BaltimoreMavenParticipant@zetruth
Not true. A million Russians came and did fine. You can roo.BaltimoreMavenParticipantלמקור המאמר עתידה ארץ ישראל שתתפשט בכל הארצות, יעיין פסיקתא רבתא דשבת ור”ח פסיקתא דרב כהנא (פסקא רני עקרה), ספרי דברים א’ ילקוט ישעי’ רמז תק”ג שו”ת באר משה לר”מ ירושלימסקי עמוד ע”ר
BaltimoreMavenParticipantI’m pretty sure the Midrash says that when Moshiach comes, Yerushalayim will spread out to envelop the entire land of Eretz Yisroel and that EY will spread out to the entire world.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantUnited United United!!! Their fresco kosher meals are amazing. They are the only airline that never stopped flying during covid. They fly 2 daily nonstop from Newark and allow minyan.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantWhat does herring on sugar kichel taste like?
Depends which type of herring. I’d go for Schwartzs original Sweet shtiglitzBaltimoreMavenParticipantI use an app called Keepcalling. It’s simple and cheap
There is also a service st onesuite DOT com where they give you a USA number which you can forward to any Israeli phone number.
In Israel they get plans with a USA number already assigned to ring on their phone
BaltimoreMavenParticipantPrima Palace was always nice and a good hechsher and centrally located. Many brokers can find you something at Kaduri
BaltimoreMavenParticipantI haven’t read this in the original or in the translation. But your own quote doesn’t support your theory.
They MAKE themselves APPEAR poor… but are not poor?
They go about LIKE an impoverished people… but are not actually impoverished?
Yaakov according to meforshim didn’t need food from Mitzrayim but pretended to, so as to not arouse the ire of his countrymen.
Same idea everywhere in Golus. We need to keep a low profile.BaltimoreMavenParticipantWhy are we having polls and voting if the Gedolim have already spoken om this numerous times???
BaltimoreMavenParticipantAnonymous Jew(hater):
The Vilna Gaon had many different minhogim. As did the Arizal. Why blame Chassidim?BaltimoreMavenParticipantWhen I was a chosson I davened at a yoshiva in flatbush during Sheva brochos and I was asked to step out so they could say tachanun. Turns out there was a bris.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantRashi in Meseches Yevomos68 states that the yartzeit of a tzaddik is a regel, and some poksim say based on this, no tachnun is recited on this day.69
68. 122a “Tulsa.” Refer to Meshmeres Shalom 12:4, Avodas Ephraim 2:pages 510-515 on why some have the custom not to recite tachnun on a yartzeit of a tzaddik. Some say a yartzeit is like a chasuna (ibid). See Kaf Ha’chaim 580:24 who brings that the day of a yartzeit of a tzaddik is a day to fast not a regel. Refer to Shem Aryeh O.C. 14.
69. Meshmeres Shalom ibid, Ketzos Hashulchan 24:badi 19.BaltimoreMavenParticipantThe Mishmeres Shalom Siman 12:4 explains that it is only for those who learned from that Tzaddik and had a connection to him. He derives it from the Rash”i In Yevamos 122B who uses the word “Regel” to describe a yartzeit;
תלתא ריגלי – שהיו תלמידי חכמים נקבצים לשמוע דרשה הלכות פסח בפסח והיתה שואלת מהם. ובתשובת הגאונים מצאתי כל הנך ריגלי דאמוראי היינו יום שמת בו אדם גדול קובעים אותו לכבודו ומדי שנה בשנה כשמגיע אותו יום מתקבצים תלמידי חכמים מכל סביביו ובאים על קברו עם שאר העם להושיב ישיבה שם
The Ketzos Hashulchan 1:24:5 says that not saying Tachanun is all based on Minhag. In the Badei Hashulchan 24:19 he mentions a minhag in Egypt to not say tachanun if there is a Bar Mitzvah, and in Poland if there is Yartzeit of a Tzadik.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantTachanun was never recited at a certain chassidish shteibl; each day was the yahrtzeit of some rebbe. One day, no one could think of a rebbe who had a yahrtzeit. “Whose yahrtzeit is today,” the gabbai asked. No one responded. “I demand that someone tell me which rebbe has a yahrtzeit,” the gabbai shouted. No response. “Do you mean to tell me that not one rebbe ever died on this day?!” the gabbai thundered! Its amazing! What a special day!. “No tachanun! Yisgadal!”
BaltimoreMavenParticipanthundreds of kehillos kedoshos not saying tachanun by mincha every day would constitute a source for this minhag
The minhag of many Chassidish kehilos is not to say tachanun at mincha. This minhag is recorded in many Chassidic and Sefardic sources. A number of explanations are offered:
1 they often daven until after shkiya, and according to many opinions tachanun may not be said after shkiya, so a blanket rule was instituted so as never to come to saying after shkiya, which in some kabbalistic sources danger is associated with this practice.
2 tachanun by mincha requires intense concentration, which most people don’t have in the middle of their day
3 after it is night in Israel tachanun should not be said even in other parts of the world
Sources:
Sefer Nimukei Orach Chaim, Shu”T Dvar Yehoshua Y:D 3:74, Zivchei Zedek siman 9 [minhag bagdad], Sefer Shulchan Hatohar Siman 22.BaltimoreMavenParticipantThe almost universal minhag of Chassidim is to not say tachanun by mincha. Of course, mincha is typically davened by them at or after shkiah and tachanun isn’t supposed to be said after shkiah.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantAlso I davened at a Chassidishe minyan yesterday and today and tachanun was said both mornings. Much to my chagrin.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantI can show you the text of tachanun in every nusach Sefard siddur, every siddur used by every Chassidishe Rebbe and by all Chassidim. They do day tachanun regularly. They also have minhagim hundreds of years old to refrain from tachanun on certain days. Lav Davka Mondays and Thursdays. Many Rebbes would ask mohelim to daven elsewhere so the minyan could say tachanun. So yiu are just misinformed. And plain wrong. And motzei laaz on an entire sector of Yidden.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantIs Nodel a troll?
BaltimoreMavenParticipant@Nodel please stop making fun of people you disagree with, don’t understand and don’t want to try to understand. If you lived in the tines of the Tannoim or Amoraim you would have gone meshige. See yaknehaz sugia, for example. Minhag Yisroel Torah, even when it’s not YOUR minhag
BaltimoreMavenParticipantI found it enjoyable to speak with current machatonim. They confirmed what we already knew and we got to know each other a little through the process. It gave us stuff to talk about at the Shabbos Sheva brochos.
BaltimoreMavenParticipant1) why do we pour water from becher into wine bottle before kiddush?
First let’s explain that one must rinse out a Kos before using it for Kiddush. The Gemora in Pesachim explains 10 things relevant to a Kos, some of which are meakev. Rinsing inside and out, shtifa and hadocha, are required. Usually some water is left in the Kos rather than emptying it all out after the Rinsing.
One reason was given, in case the wine in the bottle is pogum, since adding water to pogum wine allows us to use it for Kiddush. Pogum wine cannot be used for Kiddush.
A second reason is that, kabbolistically, the wine represents Din as it is usually red, and water represents rachamim. We want to be mamtik the din with chessed and rachamim so we add some water from the Kos to the wine.
Added bonus questions:
How many segulos for Parnossa or hatzlocha do we find in the Mishna Berura, which is a halocha sefer?
BaltimoreMavenParticipantAvira – not that I disagree but do you know about the Chazal that say a person who puts on Tefillin just once in their life its a huge zechus?
BaltimoreMavenParticipantDoing a daf in 30 minutes requires talent and expertise. Don’t belittle it by comparing it to speeding up a shiur so the Rov sounds like a squirrel.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantIf anyone is interested in an emailed daf yomi daily that takes about 25 to 30 minutes on average, and does every single Rashi inside along with selected other meforshim, please email KaduriRental AT gmail.com
BaltimoreMavenParticipantThe Ben Gorni explains that Eliezer Eved Avrohom went into Gan Eden alive. How is that possible if Avrohom Yitzchok and Yaakov didn’t? He explained that any tzaddik could go into Gan Eden alive since they have sufficient zechusim. The Avos, however, chose to leave over for us zechus Avos so they didn’t have enough to go in alive. Eliezer didn’t care about his eineklach so he kept his zechusim all to himself.
The question then becomes…. what about Moshe? He clearly had enough zechusim to get in alive even after leaving over for us zechus Avos. And that is why the Torah says Kevuraso – it’s a wonderment how he was even buried.
