    Call me old fashioned, I have a siddur bang in middle of the NY Post and I daven out of that. People think I am reading the Post while davening, but really I am simply davening just like everyone else.

    To anyone who claims Israel is safer for Jews over any other country, I challenge them with the following. From 1947 through 2015, how many Jews in Israel were killed through terrorism, and any other country where Jews were killed through terrorism. I can safely bet the number is staggeringly higher in Israel.

    Its one thing to be a pro Zionist, its another thing to outright lie and deceive.

    You know, I have a similar problem. The Shul where I daven, have some people who talk during various parts of the davening. It hinders my concentration and I have requested numerous times for quiet but to no avail. I have tried other shuls and encounter the same problem , if not worse. So maybe I should just quit davening?

    DaasYochid, if you help someone switch their flat tire and the guy drives off without saying thank you, would it bother you?

    The gifts are typically given in bulk to either of the parents or a pile at the wedding. It is common decency to thank the person who gave a gift. It seems that in todays day and age things are taken for granted and sheer manners is lacking, starting with yourself

    To all those makilim who consider everything assur to be a Sheilah, I have some news for you. The Torah says” Kedoshim Tiyhu”,Rashi says ” Hevei Perushim Min Harayois”. Follow Rashi, and stay away from a mixed Gym. If you consider it a Sheilah, then consider staying at work late on Friday, into Shabbos a Shailoh as well, because of Parnossoh. Be a jew to the fullest and be mevater. Not everything involves convenience. Otherwise, what kind of Sechar are you going to get in the next world?

    in reply to: what is the origin of chanukah gifts? #1112574
    Git Meshige
    Participant

    Unfortunately a lot of “minhagei Chanukah” are adopted from Christmas. There is NO mekoir anywhere in Chazal or Shulchan Aruch for Chanukah gifts. There IS a mekoir for Chanukah gelt and that where it ends. Also when one wishes Happy Chanukah that is also derived from Christmas. Do we say Happy Shavous or Happy Sukkois? There is Simcha on Yom Tov yet we don’t wish one another that way. But when it comes to Chanukah we tend to try and emulate them for some reason. Oh and I forgot to mention the group of people that are busy lighting Menorahs in public places along side the X mas tree. Why does cant Chanukah be celebrated the way Chazal instituted and why do we need to steal snip bits from them?

    I have always wondered why Kiruv Organizations only started 30-40 years ago. There were Non Frum Yidden throughout the ages, why did the Gedolim of those generations not find it necessary to be mekarev them and bring as many yidden back to Yiddishkeit?

    Goq, so you mean to tell me we should just enjoy life, eat drink and be merry? I was thinking along the lines that it is the koach of the yetzer hora to forget about it. Thinking about dying is not necessarily a bad thing, it actually straightens a person out and readies himself for the next world.

    Sam, its a minhag that us Yidden have kept for generations. Comes along a smart alec like you or someother people and decide to throw away and do away with mesorah.You decided that its mutar. Forget about everyone else that holds Mesorah.

    BTW, you know how the Reform movement started? The first questionable thing they did, was do away with Yekum Purkan. Here too, you disregard what our Mesorah teaches and make your own conclusions and decisions.

    Sam, this topic comes up during the 3 weeks as well. The point is there are those that are always looking for loopholes. Not everything is Mutar because it is not deoiyrasah. When you make a simcha, do you do mixed seating? My guess is that not. If so, why not? Its not even derabanan. The reason you do it is because of seyag and gedarim. So too with music. Halacha dictates that we should not make weddings not cut hair and refrain from things that cause us enjoyment and make us happy. Any type of music does that. So quit your nonsense

    We have all forgotton the reason why we have Sefira to begin with. If one is looking for loopholes then the inyan of Sefirah means diddly squat to him so nhe may as well listen to whatever he wants and shave and go to weddings. Cant we just survive without music during these days of reflection? If one was RL sitting shiva, would he ask a ” Sheyla” to turn on some background music?

    heretohelp, sarcasm won’t solve the problem. For the record, my neighbor had a nanny that fed the children treif. My sister has a friend that had a nanny that was watching the kids on rosh Hashana while the parents were davening and put on a dvd to keep them occupied. Those 2 stories come to my mind and I am sure there are plenty others. An alternative to hiring non Jewish nannys is to either send a child to a Jewish day care, there are plenty or to find a Jewish one. The excuse that a job over powers chinuch of a child is ludicrous. I assume you would also agree with the people 70 years ago that were of the opinion that their job was more important than Shabbos. Chinuch of a child is detrimental to their lives. If the child is under supervision of a shiksa longer than the parents, that is cause for real concern. i have pity on you that you fail to see the importance.

    Very simple solution, don’t shop there. Instead of raising a ruckus, why don’t you take your business elsewhere? I live in an out of town community, I cannot stand my local supermarket. High prices, no display of item prices, terrible service. So I initially tried to speak to the owner, but to no avail. So I took my buisness elsewhere. I travel 40 minutes to do my weekly shopping. Who loses, the local supermarket. I am happy to drive to a pleasant shopping experience. You can do the same.

    Sam, you are obviously not aware of the flow of the conversation from the very begining. Playtime, suggested that it is a lenient fast and that anyone with a headache does not need to fast. I countered by saying that the mechaber clearly states one needs to fast and asur lifrotz geder and that only a choleh need not fast. You then interjected by saying that the definition of a choleh is one that needs to lie down. With your vast knowledge of different shitois, you quoted the Rimah that one is considered a choileh if they need to lie down. I then asked you for the mareh mokom and you quote a vague shitoh in hilchos shabbos that has no connection to fasting and yet you still fail to provide a mareh mokom to your claim. Instead of misleading anyone with your incorrect assumptions, next time before you make a claim, have a valid source for it. Its that simple

    Sam, again I ask, a mareh mokom. Not your own conjured up psak. A source where it says that one may break his fast if he needs to lie down.

    in reply to: Fasting #961868
    Git Meshige
    Participant

    Sam, I have looked up the Halacha, and nowhere does it say, if one needs to lie down he may break his fast. Actually it says Asur lifroitz geder. Now, it does say if one is sick, one may break the fast. Please back up your statement with a mareh mokom since you seem to be a tremendous yodeaya sefer. In any event, there are different halachos by different poskim and the most common practice is to fast unless one is sick. Feeling a little discomfort does not label a person sick. The whole point of fasting is to feel discomfort

    Sam2, if thats the case, noone would fast. Everyone feels some discomfort one way or another, and so by definition most people are a choileh. How could it be a meikel fast for those who need it to be. It is either meikel for everyone or not. Bottom line, stop looking for heteirm and do what halacha says. Ofcoarse for the elderly and sick, there is no question, but for the initial poster who complains of a headache, get over it.

    in reply to: Fasting #961857
    Git Meshige
    Participant

    Playtime, what do you mean it is a lenient one? Mechaber clearly states that we should fast this fast unless one is a choileh. The point of fasting is to feel discomfort and to contemplate the reason why we are fasting to begin with. Todays day and age everyone looks for heteirim. No one said it was geshmak to fast. The least we can do for the churban is to fast. Anyone that complains that they have a headache or feel weak, get over it. Yidden in Auschwitz felt that way for 4 years. You can manage a day, nothing will happen to you

    To all you people who know nothing about Gateshead and comparing it to Geulah or Boro Park, speaks volumes about your ignorance.

The achdus and ehrlichkeit of the community should be an example to the entire world. The town hosts thousands of sem girls and Yeshiva bochurim combined.
