Goldilocks

Ymribiat, you are touching on a sore topic here!
Most of the frum residents of Rockland are pretty upset by the construction going on here. The problem is that people who come in from out-of-town, but property here, and bribe the local officials to allow them to build multifamily dwellings.
Most of the time, before a multifamily house is built, there is a hearing in Town Hall before the builder gets permission to build. Its happened so many times that the entire neighborhood comes to the meeting to protest, and the permit is given anyway.
I personally know someone who attended such a meeting. The building was going to take place in her neighborhood; she and all her neighbors attended the meeting and howled in protest. Afterward, this person approached a town official privately and commented, “but if they pay you enough money, they’ll get the permit. Right?” The reply was, “uhh… right”.

Yabia Omer, the interesting phenomenon is this: There are 4 possible days of the week that the first day of Pesach can fall out on. 2022 – 2025 will be a four- year span where we have Pesach occurring on each of the four possible days.
It’s interesting to note that we had the same phenomenon during the years 2021 – 2024.
After 2025, the first day of Pesach won’t occur on Sunday again for approximately 20 years.

Theshadchansays: Pizza is generally not eaten with a fork; fingers are acceptable.
But if you regularly eat foods such as chulent, kugel, rice and sesame chicken with your fingers, to the point where you’re not entirely sure what a fork is for or how to use it, you should definitely practice at home!

What’s considered insulting is very dependent on many factors, such as:
Your relationship with the person you’re speaking with.
The context in which the comment was made.
The speaker’s tone of voice, facial expressions and body language.
How many and which people the comment was made in the presence of.
A remark that seems highly offensive in one situation may seem innocent or even complimentary in another.

Nittel on December 24th, from sunset until midnight. This year it’s on Shabbos.

If any of the men on this forum would offer to support me financially for the rest of their lives so that I can spend my time baking brownies, knitting, and learning Chumash…it’s a deal.
I’ll even share the brownies with him.

Ujm, is WoW reform? If you say it is, I believe you; however, many people are unaware of this.

😂🤣😃😁😂🤣😃

That’s a pretty disrespectful way to talk about a serious and important topic.
I have an urge to give you a taste of something “geshmake” and “horrifying” right now.

Farbycoffe, do you have wax in your ears?
I told you I like being myself.👩‍🏫👸🚴‍♀️

I’m not a bochur and never have been (well, at least not in this lifetime).

If it’s only opinions, then yes.

It’s your choice whether or not to wear what’s in style.
I generally decide what to wear based on my own taste and comfort. And no, I haven’t been arrested. Not yet, anyway.

I couldn’t agree more!
Library fees can be easily avoided by acting responsibly.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be a popular value nowadays.

I get calls all the time about extending my car’s warranty!
Unfortunately, I cannot take them up on the offer, as I don’t own a car (sigh).

Okay, here’s the drill (at least this is what I do):
1) Wake up on the 27th of Tamuz.
Get dressed in fresh clothes.
2) At noontime (or at some point during the day, whenever it’s convenient) change your clothes. Put on a fresh outfit and put what you’ve worn until now in a secure location.
3) Before bedtime, remove the second set of clothes and put them with the first set.
4) Repeat the above procedure on the 28th and 29th of Tamuz.
You now have six changes of clothes that can be worn during the nine days.
The nine days consist of 7 weekdays this year (8 in other years).
You will be just fine!

Pekak: Yes, that’s right.
Later on in Sefer Bamidbar, after he sinned and caused the deaths of thousands of Jews, he is identified as Zimri.
At the beginning of the sefer, though, he is identified as the Nassi of Shevet Shimon. At this point he was still a righteous person, and he is therefore called “Shlumiel”, which means, “at peace with Hashem”.

Eviezer is a name??? Where did you come up with that?

Shlumiel. It’s a name mentioned multiple times in the beginning of Sefer Bamidbar, and it has a gorgeous meaning.

Doesn’t it also depend on the age of the uncle? (For example, what if the uncle is a toddler?)

Syag: Knitting, embroidery, hook rug.
I don’t know how to do lanyard.
Commonsaychel, that sounds scary! Is that what you do?🐕

Besides being a serious book addict, I enjoy having lots of hobbies! I love cooking, baking, working on jigsaw puzzles, various craft projects, and playing chess. In the summer I enjoy bicycling. I’m also a bit obsessed with roller coasters. Ever since American Dream opened, I’ve been trying to work up the courage to try out their big, scary coaster…so far that hasn’t happened.
One hobby that’s somewhat taken me by surprise: Pre-corona, I was really not the clothes-conscious type, preferring comfort over looks. I can’t believe how much I really like collecting pretty face masks! I enjoy wearing them, and am often eager to dress up and show off my latest style.

Sure!
What are some of your hobbies?
How do you typically spend your time when you’re not in the coffee room?

Is biking on congested streets dangerous? Well, how about driving or walking on congested streets?
As long as you stay aware of your surroundings, obey the rules of the road, and are honest with yourself about your abilities and limitations,you should be just fine.
