    I think I saw or heard somewhere that a total tznius/Torah equivalence is a mistake
    based on a statement by the Vilna Gaon that women have tznius to counteract their
    yetzer hora in the way that men have Torah-study.

    I wear disposable gloves when showering (hot water dries out skin).
    I also found that sleeping with disposable gloves on is good – it’s
    good when you’re awake, too, but then you get strange looks.
    (I was trying to avoid the need to wash my hands.)

    My point was that video games don’t depend on the Internet, so the Internet can’t be blamed for them.

    I did see someone playing Slither recently – eventually I saw him switch to the next track of his audiobook.

    It is done to indicate that one does not consider the somewhat similar things one is speaking
    of to be equivalent in chashivus. Pausing between those phrases is so that one
    does not sound as though they are speaking apikorsus.

    Chymee, Wikipedia agrees with Joseph. The tune originated with chassidim, the song, at Hebrew U.

    According to an online article, Avraham Zvi Idelsohn, …a passionate Zionist … sought to pioneer a new style of modern national music that would unify the Jewish people as they returned to their historic homeland in Palestine. To that end, he arranged and composed many new Hebrew-language songs based on traditional melodies. These modern songs with ancient roots quickly became popular as new Hebrew folk songs, sung in kibbutzim, moshavs and printed in songbooks in the Jewish community of pre-state Israel and beyond. Among them was Hava Nagila.

    The constellation is not named for an idol – “cancer” is Latin for “crab.”
    It’s been used in the medical sense for close to 2500 years.
    (“Applied to cancerous tumors because the enlarged veins resembled the legs of a crab” – Wiktionary.)

    Euphemisms such as “sagi nahar” have fallen out of use – that’s not an answer.

    They’ve referred to ‘the Gezeira’, ‘the Milchama’ and the like.
    Oh, I thought “the Milchama” was just easier for Yiddish-speakers than “World War II.”
    I’ve actually never heard of “the Gezeira” – what is it?

    We find a common reference to a disease of ??? ???,
    ‘something else’, which is akin to ‘Yenne Machlah’.

    I’ve not heard of that either. Doesn’t ??? ??? usually refer to pigs,
    which are not an evil that might affect us?

    You should probably name a piece of music containing such a drum sound

    Because it will make him an Eved K’naani, which makes him m’chuyav b’mitzvos –
    so can one non-Jew force another to become m’chuyav b’mitzvos?

    Also, outside of war, can a non-Jew take possession of another non-Jew without their consent?

    A: Looking at his plate as if it were a clock
    face, Billy should place his knife, with the
    blade facing him, at 10:00 and 3:00, and
    then the fork, with the tines up, directly
    underneath the knife. The ends of the sil-
    verware should be pointed toward the right.


    Consequence: Because of your
    rude behavior you must pat your
    head and rub your stomach while
    saying "I won't be rude" 3 times.
    Then move back 4 spaces.


    ...Using the Knife and Main Course
    Fork Table Setting Cards, show the
    correct way for Billy to place his
    silverware on his plate to indicate
    that he has finished eating.

    [D]o you know the reason *why* the Halacha is that men are prohibited from walking behind women? The same reason could easily be applicable to sitting behind them, especially for an extended period of time.

    The reason, according to Rabbi P. E. Falk (in Oz v’Hadar L’vusha) is “so that he is not
    drawn to watching her as she walks.” That’s obviously not applicable when she’s sitting down.
    He is in favor of not having women be where they are visible to men, though,
    based on Bereishis Rabba about Eliezer riding ahead of Rivka and her servants.

    I was taught by my rebbe z’l, that a Jew has no right to judge another person’s belief system.

    Similarly, an existing criminal behavior among people of a certain ethnicity is not a racist idea.
    (Also my opinion about the hotel sign, by the way – yes, it shouldn’t have said “Jewish,” but
    if the problem was in fact only with Jews, it doesn’t mean the sign-poster is an anti-Semite.)
