It’s not the size that matters, but the kedushah.
No offense meant, but “Scranton” sounds like a place where you would dispose of waste material.
They should change the name to something more uplifting, like “Pleasantville” or “Happytown”.
the moderators of CR, whose job it is to censor and fact check opinions that are submitted
Is that really their job?
I hope not
Isn’t the kissing of the hand a sanitary alternative to kissing the object itself? I’ve seen people actually kiss the Seder Torah.
Does shaking a fellow Jew’s hand and then kissing it, mean that you would like to kiss the person himself, except that you don’t want to spread germs?
mushrooms … they’re not plants
Why not? I’ve personally seen mushrooms growing out of the ground.
This topic reminds me of one of my favorite quotes:
Non-Jews respect Jews who respect Judaism. Non-Jews are embarrassed by Jews who are embarrassed by Judaism.
From a June 2013 article by Rabbi Jonathan Sacks.I read this at aarp Dot org:
The good news, according to William Schaffner, medical director of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases, is that the vast majority of older adults need not worry about contracting (or spreading) the virus. Anyone born in the United States prior to 1957 is considered immune to measles, because almost everyone in that age group was exposed to the virus before a vaccine was available. People born after 1957 who were properly vaccinated, or who contracted measles, are also protected.
I paid $32 for a one-pound box of Ukrainian shmurah matzah. The product cost $19 and shipping was $13. I used the same store in Brooklyn as last year, and the same shipper, since the quality was acceptable last year.
Does selling your chometz and/or nullifying it cover this situation?
So what happened to the dog?
I read a related article about “mouth applicances” (I can’t remember where), and the author’s opinion was that it’s not an issue, since they’re designed so as not to absorb (or impart) taste.

I’ve wondered if equating opposition to Israel with anti-semitism is a contributing factor. Are they really equivalent?
Another thought: A wounded bull is more dangerous than a healthy one.
CTL: Maybe you could use one of the crowdfunding web sites to solicit donations to restore your losses?
On generally accepted criteria.
Generally accepted by whom?
Sarai Imeinu was described as beautiful. In fact, that’s the first thing said about her, other than she was childless.
In mine opinion, the people whom post in this here forum spell very goodly. There grammar could be weller, but its usualualy easy to make sense of what they are meaning.
I drink both, but coke is easier on the digestive system. It’s like flavored Alka Seltzer + caffeine.

Doesn’t Israel have a shortage of water? Maybe you could arrange a deal.
Just talk very loud. Everyone understands English if they really want to.
Moving south would lower heating costs.
But it would raise cooling costs.
You can lower heating costs by wearing additional layers of clothing. Removing layers to adjust for a hot environment is less effective, and is limited by tznius.
I stand with my suggestions of tents and robotic teachers.
Emulate the ways of the Patriarchs. They didn’t need fancy buildings with utilities. Find an empty field and erect tents.
Replace the teachers with robots.
I use the filter that Hashem gave me.
@RichardM: +1
Or enact a universal speed limit of 15 mph (25 kph).
Surgeons wear colors such as green or blue to make the blood stains less noticeable. That’s dishonest. They should wear white, and then be rated according to the amount of blood stains. That way the patients could avoid the clumsy ones.
Amazon should buy the U.S. Postal Service.
@anonymous Jew: I was asking a question, not making a point.
@Uncle Ben: I don’t know. Does it?the paying member is accorded a place ahead of the non-member for honors.
Do you score more points with Hashem for getting honors, as opposed to sitting in your seat davening?
Why do we have to cave to black people, at every turn? I think it’s more a case of caving to white leftists, who are using the issue in their thought-control compaign.
Would a Kim Jong-un costume be offensive? What about François “Papa Doc” Duvalier?
In this context, is Chabad considered to be Ashkenaz?
make your face black. goyim will think you are really black.
Not if you do it properly. Search for publicity posters of the 1927 movie, “The Jazz Singer”.
Rabban Gamliel the son of Rabbi Judah HaNassi would say: Beautiful is the study of Torah with the way of the world, for the toil of them both causes sin to be forgotten. Ultimately, all Torah study that is not accompanied with work is destined to cease and to cause sin. …
Pirkei Avos 2:2Its the desire to earn money that drives economies.
That’s the “positive side”of the yetzer hara.Another theory I’ve seen is to abolish income tax, and use other funding, such as expanding the tax on consumption. Rich people buy a lot more stuff than poor people.
It gets complicated, because the rich have more options for sheltering their income.
@RebYidd23: Exactly.
Search for “portable oil-filled radiator”. They’re relatively efficient. But for a large room, you’d probably need more than one of them.
It’s a reaction to the left’s continuing efforts to control what people may say or think.
In view of a recent Daf Yomi, I think the Moon would be offended by this topic.
Discussion topics like this one make me wonder what people who aren’t observant Jews think if they come across this site.

Iyov 19:26Doesn’t Shmiras Einayim conflict with being a “light unto the nations”?

For me, the difference is:
Out of Town is where I am. In Town is where I am not.
That won’t happen, because:
1) Too many liberals support Israel.
2) Israel is important to the U.S. military-wise.The Art of War, by Sun Tzu.
Here’s another option. Get arrested frequently. You’ll have the opportunity to observe the driving from the back seat.
A bed that bathes and dresses you, takes you to shul, davens for you, then brings you back home.
