    I know of a Rosh Yeshiva (no longer with us in this world) who wanted to mekayem 2 criteria when doing Karpas.
    1. Dip a borei pri haadamah in a liquis that requires netilas yadayim.
    2. Dipping should bw done derech cheirus to show that we are bnei melachim.
    His choice was to dip strawberries in champagne.

    I think it all started with Icarus.
    Since then people are nervous when they fly.

    Why do these ridiculous people keep on citing American anecdotal data as reflecting the influence of vaccines. There are many other countries where the same vaccinations are given and the incidence of all the maladies that are “associated” with vaccines in the USA are much less.

    Regarding permissibility of throwing food. See Shulchan Oruch Orach Chaim 171. Bread may never be thrown.
    Other foods which are soft and will become disgusting when thrown, like ripe figs, are assur to throw. Hard fruit which will not become disgusting like nuts or quinces are mutar to throw.
    It would seem that firm apples thrown to people who catch them are not a problem to throw.

    These seminaries must be doing an incredible job. They take a girl who has had 12 years of schooling and 17 years of parental chinuch. And in the short 9 months they have her, they radicalize her. They convince her to abandon all the wonderful values of her schooling and upbringing and instead, marry a kollel guy and live in suffering and poverty.

    WOW!

    Sometimes, but I prefer to clean my menorah in a more spacious location where there is more elbow room.

    How does Mandela compare to another famous leader of a terrorist organization who was responsible for acts of terror and deaths. Then went on to become a great statesman, leader of his country and bring about a great deal of reconciliation and peace with bold vision. I believe his name was Menachem Begin.
