are you trying to get a BA without taking any more classes? hmmm… touro makes you do your major in touro and i dont think there is a judaic studies major for men…

CHACHAM…. I am not sure if this is right, but

A knows who did it, but not killer

B full truth- not there at all, so not murderer

C 1/2 truth, not killer but A was there…

D Liar, killer and A is lying (if A is lying means a half truth, since a half truth is equal to a lie…)

Am I close? this is a great riddle! 🙂

I was talking to someone once and we both reference the same posting in the CR… kind of weird to think that the person next to me may be the person I have been yelling at for the past week or two….or my father…

These are all amazing! Tizku Lemitzvos! What a way to elevate the mundane! Thank you each and every one of the dvar torah posters!

Most of the world has not even seen a Jew, but are quick to condemn Israel (and Jews at the same time). We need to realize that in the Goyim’s minds, Israel=Jews. Israel is the most condemned country by the UN. No, not Iran, N. Korea, Cuba, or Venuzuela not even America- ISRAEL! We will be blamed for everything wrong in the world, from terrorism to the economic crises. If they could, they would find a way to blame every hurricane, earthquake and tornado on us as well… they just arent creative enough yet 😉

We are the most hated nation on the planet, and there is nothing we can do about it. No matter what, we will be hated. Our existence proves they are just fools believing in lies. We show that they follow illogical and false paths.

I read the book and enjoyed it. But I hate to break the news to you..most parents today are not Reb Shain. They do not know where the balance is and do cross it. my questions are not answered since i did read this book!

What about children being children? by not being carefree and on a n important part of life- being carefree. by forcing them to grow up early- it can be damaging to their growth… Responsibility is good, but forcing them to be adults at 9,10 or 11 years old is crazy and abusive. There is a balance that must be kept and if one chooses to have many kids, they should be able to take care of them or afford babysitters. Why should the children be mothers to their siblings? Why should Bais Yaakov girls be free labor (as chessed hours) to members of the community who cannot take care of their children? I understand when their is a new birth or a crises in the family to use BY students for chessed. These chessed hours can be used to help people who did not choose to be in their situation- illness, death, disabilities, divorces or the many crises that unfortunately plague our communities.

thanks R’ J! beautiful! very scary to think of the opposite effect… what will happen when we go up to shamayim and find out that we caused a lot of people to sin….

question- why is waiting for a parking spot better then circling? By stopping you cause traffic to back up, people cant get around you, and a lot more honking! It is the same with double-parking. Circle or take public transportation. I know some cities dont have a decent bus/train/subway system (or one at all) but if your area has one- PLEASE TAKE IT! It is really annoying to see people drive their car to go down the block… and then end up parking three blocks away.

After this warning is made by a mod, it seems like everyone has already heard it or knows the person. It all sounds like a scare tactic and nonsense to me. there are too many conflicting details.

Could we please do some leilei nishmas yoel ben sheva . He was R’ Shwartz- the father who was niftar after collapsing at his daughter’s wedding in Los Angeles Sunday Night. The family started sitting shiva today during sheva brachos so I think it is appropriate for this week.

I think those colorful fliers are a big waste of money. they get thrown out anyways! It is one thing to have colorful signs hanging up, but to me, if fliers are colorful it says that they have enough money to spend on this they dont need much of my money. I know thats mean to say, but what is the point? Like the electric company sending 5 of the same glossy full colored papers in my bill to tell me not to waste paper and money and switch to online billing. Its a waste of money. black and white says the same thing.

Its all biyadei shamayim (ok, i just learned how to do that, so i am trying it all out…)

It is probably all mass hysteria and that is what terrorists aim to do: scare us all so that we cannot live our normal lives. Just be on the lookout for anything suspicious, and daven to Hashem. I would be extra cautious around arabs while the war is going on because they are pretty upset at Israel and Jews right now (more then their normal fanatical hatred…) so dont do anything to get someone angry… but act out your normal life!

or that I know someone who goes there… maybe my child? my sibling? a neighbor? a friend? the CR world may never know…

bored- do u go there?

I like this!

How do you deal with the soy aftertaste? I found out I was intolerant to regular milk and I just couldnt stand the taste… it tasted spoiled.

Ok, i know where you go to school keepinentertained…

just as a side note to everyone who wrote to stop Abu Graib tortures…unless you are willing to put your own child there in the plane/plaza/hotel that the terrorist is planning on blowing up (and you caught one so could find out enough details to stop it if you tortured them) allow torture!the terrorists gave up their rights as humans when they chose to destroy others lives (with no cause besides fanaticism, greed…). those in the plane/hotel ect did not chose to be killed- but the terrorist did chose to kill!

Meshulachim need to be careful how they approach people…a crazy story…came home from megila one purim night and there were a group of bums and hooligans on the front lawn. They looked like they were trying to canvass the place to rob or otherwise up to no good. This family drove up to their home (this one) and the father got out to scare them all away. Fearful for his wife and kid’s lives, he bravely shut the car door and went to the house. He found out that they were meshluchim!!! These boys need to realize that doing that late at night, with realistic costumes especially, is inappropriate and wrong.

Isnt that some sort of advertisement just by putting it up there? Having an ad before the war, and taking it down during the war shows the same thing, doesnt it? and I think people associated with the concert would know enough to have someone post here “I think Lipa took down the signs out of courtesy for the war…” I am not saying that the there should be ads now. I commend them on the fact that there arent many ads and that the ads stating that there are no ads are not bright and attractive. This is appropriate for this time; we should be delving into our learning, davening with more kevanah, and practicing ahavas chinam.

brooklyn 19 and all those in school- be very careful when stating the “not so popular side of the argument”- some teachers only want a spit-back of their political views. If you dare to think anything else, or C”V write it- they fail you. I have known people who’s grades were lowered because they did not follow the teacher’s mantra that “white men are to blame for all problems, Bush=devil, and that the Jews caused 9/11 or other horrific events”….

couple of questions here:

where did the minhag of gelt come from?

where do you copy and paste these neat pics from? or do you spend hours doing them?

what is this about CVS coupons? Please explain where you get them from and how you do it? this would really help! what is WAGs/ECBs?

thanks!;)

Unfortunatly, it is sometimes the MILs who cause shalom bayis problems between the couple. MILs should know that their daughter has married and is out of the house- let her start her own house without your every word being law! She is grown up and should be allowed to run her house HER WAY. I know this happened to someone I know. Their MIL cause such issues between the boy’s family from the engagement and on. She wouldnt let the son run the house according to his family’s minhagim (which is the way it should be except the candles). There is such shalom bayis problems between the couple…

Come on!! Get your priorities straight! I understand that both sides need to be attractive to each other, but sometimes let the inner beauty show through… I disagree with the entire “give the shadchan a shidduch picture…” people can photoshop those things- remember. and when the couple ages and has kids, IY”H, they will 100% not look the same as their wedding. Only inner beauty lasts.

ok, this is very important about smoking….

1) Smoking once is enough to be addicted. Nicotine is so addicting that it can catch people the first or second time they try to smoke.

2) It takes at least ONE MONTH to get rid of all damage that ONE cigarette does to your body. Now, having 3-4 (meaning of a few) takes at least 3-4 (or maybe more) MONTHS to get rid of all traces of it. Doing this every year can cause real damage to your body.

3) I know someone who stopped smoking for 22+ years after being a chain smoker for many decades. She still was niftar from lung cancer due to her smoking.

4) show your kids the pictures of lungs after smoking and they may stop.

5) what about the halacha to protect your body?? Ushmartem meod es nafshoteichem… if you wont do it for your physical well being, do it for the Olam Haboa.

But yichus has no effect on the girl! As I said before- some girls act like their father’s are roshei yeshivos when they are baalabatish and some do not. I mean that those without the yichus were the ones getting the midos awards ect and the ones with the yichus were the trouble-makers in the class. Same with the boys! Some budding talmedai chachamim are from non-yichus families while those with yichus sometimes are the lazy/not so smart ect. Look at the individual child!
