“planned crime”
What about a “thought crime”?
“Rabbi, I hate my next door neighbors. I really wish someone would burn down their house.”
Is there a generally accepted definition of “Zionist”? I’ve tried to figure it out, without success.
As best as I can determine, it seems to be a flexible political term, like “Jewish State”.
Make it a priority to study the Torah every day, even if it’s only for a few minutes. Coordinating it with the weekly parashah is a convenient way to ensure that you study the whole Torah every year.
Take a close look at your computer accessories (modem, router, etc.). It’s surprising how often there’s a “Made in China” label.
“the grammar should be as good as is necessary to understand what is being said”
I don’t think it matters whether the grammar understands what is being said. It’s the person reading that needs to understand.
No offense, just pointing out how difficult it would be to implement this policy. 🙂
The Chabad Rebbe addressed this topic in a letter, which is posted in article ID 72174, titled “The Well-Stocked Pharmacy”, at chabad DOT org.
Is it permitted to post the link here?
Once when visiting an unfamiliar city, I parked in one of two or three parking garages that were close together. Then I forgot not only which level I parked on, but also which garage I parked in. (The parking ticket was generic and didn’t identify the garage.)
In my humble opinion, this challenge might work better if the OP would post a specific “thing you are against” subject as a new topic.
“Otherwise, the snakes hide.”
Sure, if they’re wimpy, cowardly snakes. I was referring to brave, proud snakes.
Good things about having venomous snakes loose in your house:
1. Your house will be free of rats.
2. You won’t be bothered by neighbors dropping in unexpectedly.
3. You’ll be able to say the Modeh Ani in the morning with real sincerity.A couple of web sites that I find very useful are:
myzmanim DOT com
– A printable one-page PDF includes the zmanim for a full month, along with other useful info (festivals, weekly parashah, Daf Yomi).printablejewishcalendar DOT com
(I hope that I’m not breaking the rules by referencing these sites here.)
Put an Alka-Seltzer tablet in your mouth and tell people you have rabies.
What I found interesting about the “Cecil incident” news coverage was that no one asked how a dentist was willing and able to pay $50000 for one (1) lion skin, which didn’t even include his other safari expenses. And people wonder why affordable health care is an issue. 🙂
“Olam ha-Ba is quite safe. It’s the world of emes. This world is the world of sheker (fake world). Don’t lose sleep over it. In a wink of an eye you’ll realize its a bad dream and no more.”
Wouldn’t that apply to anything in “this world”? So there’s no point in expending effort to get a good-paying job, finding a pleasant place to live, etc.?
Antarctica seems to be very safe. But finding a regular minyan would probably be challenging.
One advantage of DST is that it gives stupid people a sense of accomplishment when they successfully change their clocks.
CTLAWYER: You’re right. I guess I started drinking too early.
Horsebread
Turnips
True, but that’s hangover avoidance, not a hangover remedy. 🙂
A long walk before going to sleep works well too.
A couple of shots of whiskey.
Idea for new topic: Practical jokes involving “packing peanuts”.
Great point. Didn’t people formerly consider obesity a sign of financial success?
But don’t let the NSF hear that. They’ll spend $10M to do a study on it.
Absolutely. While saying that, you should cover the salmon with a towel, out of respect.
Consider the reaction if a similar remark were made about a black employee. 😮
Is there a reason why a tallis gadol can’t be designed like a tallis katan, with an opening that fits over your head? That would solve the “slipping off the shoulder” problem.
