Well, it didn’t happen. Or did it? I don’t follow political news…
So who set the inches guidelines?
Important contemporary poskim, in consultation with experts, have determined that 4i below the knee is the minimum length necessary for a garment to keep the knee covered in any position, with some garments requiring greater length. ?? ?????.
Translation: You will not find a verse in Tanach that says so,
but neither will you find one for most of the body.
The halachos of tznius are derived from the halachos of not saying
d’varim shebikdusha (brachos, tefilla, Torah) in the presence
of indecent exposure, and they include those parts of the body.
I read the article. Except for one seller saying that the quality
of the hats has gone down (though not in a way noticeable to the
average buyer), it seemed like it could have been commissioned
to discourage a boycott.
They didnt interview those behind this “boycott”, or those in the 13-24 year age group
Those said (in the article) to be behind the boycott are “Chabad bochurim,” so they’re probably in that age group, and when have
13-24-year-olds ever been asked by Mishpacha for their opinions
on serious(?) matters?
Nature as a concept, or some part of the natural world?
(This isn’t your homework, is it?)
(“Haiku is, today, a 17-syllable verse form consisting of three metrical units of 5, 7, and 5 syllables.” In other words, they’re always 3 lines.)
??????? ??????
(Google) Translation: Satan-worshipper.
The standard plural is actually mongooses. Or did you mean Mongoloid?
CYLOR.
Ah, Lenny’s Pickles
They are just the crunchiest
Thank you, Haifagirl
If your entire post
Can fit in the title line
Save us the trouble
More seriously, are we supposed to write one or suggest someone else’s?
You got me into some trouble, DaasYochid…
Do I have to re-submit all that stuff, guys, or can you just edit the phrase out of my posts and restore them? (Was it really that annoying?
It is the Purim season…)
Resubmit (iawtp)
LOL! (@popa)
I don’t have Internet access for nearly as much of the day as I used to.
In fact, I hardly have it at all except for at work, where I’m supposed
to be, you know, working.
“They all him if he’s soiree the guy is dead.”
A handy reminder of why you shouldn’t use that feature on your phone.
“Yaktrax” is a brand of “ice-traction devices.”
Well, that’s ironic…
(I’m Randomex.)
The Kotzker Rebbe taught that anything not fully true is fully false.
(Without addressing any issues…)
This is not the first such occurrence I’ve heard of:
A teacher made misinformed negative remarks to
my sister’s class about the First Lady’s choice
of clothing for her husband’s second Inauguration Day.
Wikipedia:
Instagram is an online mobile photo-sharing, video-sharing and social networking service that enables its users to take pictures and videos, and share them on a variety of social networking platforms, such as [deleted]. A distinctive feature is that it confines photos to a square shape, similar to Kodak Instamatic and Polaroid images, in contrast to the 4:3 aspect ratio typically used by mobile device cameras. Users can also apply digital filters to their images. The maximum duration for Instagram videos is 15 seconds.
WhatsApp Messenger is an instant messaging app for smartphones that operates under a subscription business model. The proprietary, cross-platform app enables users of select feature phones to use the Internet to transmit communication. In addition to text messaging, WhatsApp can be used to send images, video, and audio media messages. Locations can also be shared through the use of integrated mapping features.
Are you sure you don’t mean Instagram (as Cozimjewish already asked)?
Because the people here do appear to know what a telegram is.
Git Meshige: I am doing it on 2 of my neighbors this year and will let you know the results……
Has it worked yet?
Until this thread was bumped, I didn’t know LAB actually was the
creator of those videos, although I had wondered if he was.
(If anyone’s wondering what Yserbius quoted earlier in
the thread, it’s “Makhmir” by the Rechnitzer Rejects.)
Yes. (I don’t know how you could have considered any other
possibility, given my use of the word “fourth” and the context…)
Sheitel macher. Hatzolah dispatcher. Manual laborer.
Stand-up comedian. Cashier. Salesperson. Cook. Many more?
Does “not going to college” include not taking courses any other way?
Li: >See here.<
Anyone on this site knows the first part of Lipkin’s statement is
hogwash, even if secular people don’t – and they might, too. This is not about children. Even if it was somehow certain that the paper would never end up in a child’s hands, they wouldn’t print pictures of women. But if the world will take it, fine…
The second part:
Presumably, the logic is “Martyrs = holy, pictures of women = immodesty, and thus coverage of the former should not include the latter.”
I had to work to figure that out, instead of taking it as
“Women are unholy.” I can easily imagine people taking it that way,
and I think it was a bad idea to say it to a secular news source.
(It could even be interpreted as saying that the world desecrated
the memory of the “martyrs” with their coverage…)
Also, it’s irrelevant.
Does the paper print pictures of women in any other context?
No, it doesn’t, so this particular context doesn’t matter
(unless this is meant as further reason not to bend the
rules for this specific picture).
(Not a full response to this thread, obviously.)
Oh, they were contacted all right…
From The Guardian (and quoted by many news outlets):
Binyamin Lipkin, editor of Hamevaser, said the newspaper is a family publication that must be suitable for all audiences, including young children.
He also said he did not want to tarnish the memories of the people killed in the attacks.
The Washington Post also included Guardian coverage of last
time in one article (I don’t think anyone else did):
The fourth video is called “How to go off the derech.”
(No, I’m not joking. Search for it and see.)
Thank you, DaasYochid!
(I think it will continue to be odd, though…)
I’m not sure what they’re called – possibly Empire. They’re large, red, and soft, but not as soft as a Macintosh (I think). I also particularly enjoyed a kind that’s tall and green, with red highlights, which I had in Israel.
Macintosh and Granny Smith are also nice…
I haven’t been eating apples recently.
Hey, od Joseph choy! When did that happen?
Never mind (I thought your second-to-last post was from yesterday).
CxP’d from the video description on YouTube:
PUMP IT UP LYRICS
VERSE 1
His majesty, some years ago, invited all the jews to go
to a party that he made, no one forced ’em but they all stayed
The jews had left the torah way, their evil deeds had made them sway
yes it made their father sad, his children were so bad partying for fun each day
CHORUS
PUMP IT UP-UP-UP-UP THIS VERY HAPPY DAY PURIM IS ON THE WAY SO JOIN ALONG
PARTY UP-UP-UP-UP A HIDDEN SHOW OF LOVE TO US FROM G-D ABOVE ON EARTH BELOW
VERSE 2
Haman hated us, you know, drew a lot for jews “to go”
got approval from the king to do his evil thing, evil thing
The lot fell out Adar thirteen, the jews were sad, what could this mean
Mordechai gave his advice, repent or pay the price so light and joy will soon be seen
VERSE 3
Achashverosh, in his hand, a scepter of reprimand
of her life, he could demand, Ester came without his command
Her violation, he’d ignore, half the kingdom, ask no more
yes, it’s Haman “blessed be he”, him I want to see party with the king and me
VERSE 4
The jews repented with their heart, G-d tore Haman’s plans apart
yes he hung right on a tree, made for Mordechai Hayehudi
Learn from all our history, how good it really all can be
if we live a righteous life, no, there wont be strife a torah party is alright!
When do we get to see your work, SIDI™?
New answer: Because of tz’fardei’a !
Mazel tov to Eftachbchinor, who has presumably gotten married!
Sorry, NeutiquamErro, I didn’t notice your post until just now
(though it appears you haven’t been on much anyway).
My former account was blocked.
Let’s use the following terminology in future:
“rejected” – Post never made public.
(That’s what he meant by “blocked.”)
“deleted” – Post made public, then removed.
I have been able to verify that PAA is alive and probably well. Maybe he just decided this slow period was a good time for a CR vacation.
You don’t like my answer?

Despite, or perhaps because of, my love of gaming, I think I can
understand the desire not to have video games in one’s home…
Speaking of which, it’s quite unlike Patur Aval Assur to
disappear for weeks on end. Does anyone know anything?
(I’m being good. See?)
In answer to RebYidd, I think the Purim season has started…
“Jewish video/movie/film,” “Jewish [graphic] novel,”
“Jewish board game,” “Jewish magazine,” “Jewish play,”
“Jewish album (music),” “Jewish university,” “Jewish video game,”
“Jewish sports team,” and “Jewish website” –
which (if any) of those would also be oxymorons?
I’d rather subtract.
“Bump”
When a thread is posted in, it moves to the top of the
front page. Bumping is posting in a thread for the sake
of that effect, in order to bring attention to the thread.
“Trolling”
To troll is to write insincerely
in the hope of getting a reaction from people.
A troll is someone who does this.
(Posts that are obviously false or insincere are
sometimes made on the CR for the sake of humor,
and this is also referred to here as “trolling.”)
“Closed”
A closed thread cannot be posted in.
Only a moderator (or “mod”) can close threads (or give subtitles).
“Sticky”
A sticky thread is one that is kept (“stuck”) at the top of a board.
(There are currently a few more than usual.)
“Tricks?”
I’m
afraid
Iknow
any.
Just kidding.

He’s serious (and for “Asur,” you can look for “Azul”).
Yes, the Italian wasn’t there to scare him away.
