charlie – it would be far easier to do a search for “Joseph” on the Times webpage 🙂
squeak – I don’t have one.
SJS – I’ve been on the air quite often myself. In fact, at one point I had been on the entire WABC lineup of programs, including the national shows. I do refuse though to allow my photograph to appear (in print.) The Jewish Press (Mess) recently wanted to photograph me.
Jothar – My Rebbe Muvhak.
Did any of the naysayers here ever contact the Gedolim and Rabbonim that teach Torah, give shiurim and speak in Yiddish with your litany of taaina’s against them?
“However, I disagree with Joseph, who posted earlier that he respects those who speak Yiddish as a first language at home. I don’t like the fact that Mexicans only speak Spanish, and don’t speak English. Why should Chassidim be different? I’ve met Chassidim who don’t speak English, or only speak very little English. English should be your first language if you live in the US.”
Feif – Because Yidden are supposed to be different than the goyim in how we dress and talk (and just about everything else.)
“Joseph- what would cherrybim, squeak, Itzik & notpashut do without your haskama 😉
areivim – Its like a Badatz hechsher. Some people are machmir, while others couldn’t care less.
“When I’m working around my yard, or putting up or taking down the sukkah, or shoveling snow etc, jeans seem the perfect clothing. Once I’m wearing them, I rarely change outof them, unless I’m going out where I need to be more formally dressed.”
cantoresq,
Two questions barrister:
1. Would you appear before a Judge in Court on behalf of a client in jeans?
2. Would you appear before G-d in a Synagogue in jeans?
The truth counsel.
I rest my case.
“there is nothing wrong with the jeans, it is with the people wearing them.”
LOL
with that haircut and necklace?
Thank you shana3.
squeak – you said a fictitious last name, presumably of a poster.
(Late edits/deletes do not affect RSS Feeds of the Coffee Room, and hence my access to this 🙂
I should add, the reporter materially misquoted me. And misquoted me in direct quotes, not merely paraphrased.
Just checked – included age and position.
I had name and residence mentioned. Possibly age; would have to look at it. It was about a year and a half ago.
notpashut,
I believe it says Moshe got the Torah after being on Har Sinai 40 days and nights because it takes 40 days for a person to transform himself into a new being.
kapusta, “less ungodly” is a good thing. (more ungodly, or less godly, would be a problem.)
azi, allow me to interpret the mekubal squeak’s comment for you.
1. Your first sentence was “Rabbi Solovetchik was not against the teaching of biblical criticism at YU.”
2. Your running on the foundation that there is nothing wrong with biblical criticism, makes further discussion with you fruitless.
squeak – why do you presume rationing will become more of a forefront issue than it currently is?
feivel – make sure its unplugged while operating on it 😉
Really, the thought is more daunting than the practice.
cherrybim, Itzik, squeak, and notpashut have put it quite eloquently.
I was once quoted in the NY Times. Who can find me?
no such thing as too much love.
correct teen.
LOL
tis, The moderators do a pretty good job. You are perhaps the only one who could literally yell at an at risk teenager:

Torahis1. What the…..
Why are you taking things so personally? So two people have a difference in opinion that doesn’t mean anyone hates each other.
Is there anyone here who hates another member of the CR???
I don’t think so…
we’ll wait.
moish, c’v, but the CC is well worth emulating!
is daddy still up?
moish, you are underestimating yourself.
moish, open your heart.
you’re too much of an anav moish.
The prohibition against speaking rechilus may apply even if the listener is already aware of the information being conveyed. Rechilus includes any statement which may foster animosity; repeating how someone maligned or acted against the listener might make the listener better aware of details that would be cause for added hatred. Moreover, if the listener had not yet given much thought to the information, repeating it could be cause for animosity to form.
moish, you are hereby granted immunity from prosecution. the fifth is thus inapplicable. proceed with your testimony.
moish, thats not mussar. its love.
oy, heilige Shabbos… heilige Shabbos!
I say !!!!! is kinda girlie too.
You did remember your Torah learning… recall our little discussion in the 3 boys in Japan thread?
Who needs any physical objects?
A wooden chair and an old table, a little bed, and you have all of life’s furnishings!
The mods approved some new stuff above, after more recent posts were already up.
See above.
moish: “you asked if there are any rabbonim who approved the coffeeroom.”
ANSI supports color, but the forum software used in the CR (bbPress) does not support ANSI.
yeah it’s a gun!!!! i love knives & guns!!!
asdf, please keep away from the children in the CR.
That is asking too much personal info.
Against the rules, sorry.
I think Moderator is a very common last name around here.
102030 –
First of all, thanks again.
There is a heter called “kidei l’horos”, which means in order to rule a halahcic issue you may read kefirah, etc. Rav Avigdor Miller went to Rav Moshe ZT”L and asked him if he can read the New Testament. Rav Moshe said yes, but only you, since you’re doing it for the purpose of disproving it. Objective reading of such material is not k’dei l’horos and is prohibited.
moish, you have a good memory.
okay, I thought for a moment perhaps oomis was egotistical.
qwertyuiop –
I just wanted to say goodbye to you before you attempt to follow ICOT’s instructions. In case your computer goes beserk, and we never hear from you again, I say goodbye and be well on behalf of the entire coffee room, and wish you a lot of luck in your now off-line only life.
asdf, you’re making poor Steven Paul Adams look bad.
oomis, now why would you want to meet yourself (#2)?
Hilchos Krias Shema She’al Hamitah
In the previous Halacha we stated that when removing shoes at night one should simply remove the left shoe first, and then the right. Many readers emailed asking if in fact one should first untie the right, then untie and remove the left, and then remove the right. We therefore clarify: that is not the opinion of the Shulchan Aruch. The SA (2:5) states simply remove the left and then the right. This understanding of the SA is accepted by the Piskei Tshuvos 2:7, S’U Oz Nidbiru 5:26, and S’U Tiferes Odom 3:1, and Birrur Halacha Tinyana who states that this is the correct psak according to the simple reading of all the Achronim.
After saying Krias Shema one should say the following pesukim and tefilos mentioned by the Shulchan Aruch (printed in most siddurim) which protect a person, followed by Hamapil;
a) (Vehi Noam etc., &) Yoishev Besaiser Elyon etc.
b) Hashem Moh Rabu Tzoroy etc.
c) Boruch Hashem Bayom etc.
d) Vayomer Hashem El Hasoton etc.
e) Hashem Shom’recha etc.
f) Biyad’cha Afkid Ruchi etc.
g) Yevorechicha Hashem V’Yishmirecha etc. (according to some, say 3 times)
h) Hashkivainu etc. (from Maariv – without the beracha at the end)

Parnassah Self-Help
Segulah for Parnasah – For This Tuesday – Parshas Hamon
Reb Menachem Mendel M’Riminov (1755-1815, one of four primary talmidim of The Noam Elimelech) writes in Lechem Avirim that saying Parshas Ha’mon (Shnayim Mikroh V’Echod Targum – Hebrew twice and the Aramaic once) on Tuesday of Parshas Be’Shalach, (from Perek 16, Possuk 4 until Shevi’i) is a Segulah for Parnasah. Parshas Hamon can be found in most siddurim after tefillas Shachris, or Click this link for the complete text of Parshas Ha’mon: ParshasHamonLink
{The power of Emunah through understanding of the Parshas Hamon is discussed in Yalkut Shimoni Shemos 17: 247 & 258}
oops, wrong id.
No, I think it was the correct ID, what other IDs do you have?
ya, but I woke up :p
Jothar – Indeed, Yiddish is not “intrinsically” holy, as is Loshon Hakodesh (which is certainly the loshon of the highest kedusha), it obtained that status by its usage.
Additionally, Loshon Hakodesh was never used by Yidden as an everyday street language of mundane matters. That was Aramaic (indeed another language with great kedusha) or other local languages.
And of course, literally countless Torah was learnt and inscribed in Loshon Hakodesh. (And as was mentioned previously, “ivrit” is NOT Loshon Hakodesh by any means or shape.)
RY: Experiment by trying it from a desktop (i.e. non-mobile) and see if it works there.
