asdfghjkl: What years did Julius Ceaser reign?
Thats part of the problem. The TALKING (voice calling) even without the other extras (internet, texting) can itself be a major impediment and cause of anguish. Who knows who the child is getting calls from?
My point is that it is unfortunate that it may sometimes be a necessity. Ideally, if it is avoidable, it should be avoided. A wife/mothers place is at home.
“What is the obligation of the [Purim] feast? That one should eat meat … and drink wine until he is drunk and falls asleep from drunkenness” (Rambam, Mishneh Torah, Laws of Megillah, 2:15).
Rava said: A person is obligated to drink on Purim until he does not know the difference between “cursed be Haman” and “blessed be Mordechai”
Mesechtes Megillah (7b)
mw13, as mentioned above, INCOMING callers can block their ID. And the parent could very well be unaware of who is calling their child.
Thank G-d Obama didn’t take over yet. Maybe we’ll still be lucky.
Its always best that a wife/mother stay at home (rather than get a job outside).
Mrs. squeak?
lesschumras, unfortunately that comment (that I replied to) was not intended as a joke.
brooklyn19: I only offered 3 possibilities, not 4 combinations.
lesschumras:
To you everything is a chumra that you want to eliminate. Tznius is halacha, not chumra.
000: Only if you repeatedly copy your last post three times in this thread, plus on at least two more threads.
Can someone explain if any of these car models mentioned above can have a tape recorder installed (for a Torah Tape collection)? I haven’t heard of these particular brands.
Hopefully, the kollel system can evolve into something that unites rather than divides.
That line sounds like its straight out of a Reform handbook.
brooklyn19, depends whether you think I’m the editor, just a moderator, or simply a smartcookie.
I second Truehonesty.
I think threads have been closed too quickly lately.
copycat
rubber ducky, I haven’t made any comments regarding sandals, despite your miscomprehension.
In fact I believe it was Rav Saadia Gaon that instituted hot cholent in Klal Yisroel to make a stand against the Karaites who would not eat hot foods on Shabbos.
hmh, some peoples common sense is to drive to shul on Shabbos. Youre not going to go to the ”extreme” and tell him better not to go to shul than drive there, now are you? Its just a matter of how we relate to those who observe Judaism differently, relating to G-d on their own (Shabbos driving) level, eh?
Thank you dveykus613. That is it in a nutshell.
squeak – I vaguely recall cholent (picking up on your point) coming about to ‘shtuch’ the Karaites, whom I believe say it is not permitted to eat hot food on Shabbos.
squeak – your tone rings sarcasm (perhaps I’m mistaken); but in fact your statement is precisely true.
WB smartcookie! We all thought you ran off with another site, after your post bemoaning the youth of your postmates.
“Nowadays in America its considered the norm for women to…”
wear miniskirts
wear pants
wear short-sleeve shirts
wear short-skirts
wear tight clothes
wear attention-grabbing clothes
“Nowadays in America its considered the norm for women to wear”
Sorry Charlie; its still just as relevant as the day he wrote his holy words.
Most people do learn and work. It is the holy Kollel yungerleit, a small minority of the frum population, that dedicate themselves FULL-TIME to the Torah.
ROB: The Code…
Theres nothing to guess about that anymore… 🙂
000: I actually enjoy seeing you post the same comment 5 times per thread, on three separate threads. Keep it up. If you don’t understand or like the answers provided, this probably makes you feel good, and I sure wouldn’t want to stop you from feeling good about yourself. 🙂
000: If you keep reposting the same comment another 5 times on this thread + at least on another 3 threads, maybe it’ll magically become so.
Or perhaps most people are lucky enough not to be aware of television series (having googled this), and not caring enough to want to get to know such stuff.
Is Round 3 open before 2 is complete?
Dreidel? 🙂
Kvitlich…
PY: I wanted to see if you’d come out of the cave.
Ronald Reagan:
If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.
Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.
We are never defeated unless we give up on God.
I have wondered at times what the Ten Commandments would have looked like if Moses had run them through the US Congress.
If the federal government had been around when the Creator was putting His hand to this state, Indiana wouldn’t be here. It’d still be waiting for an environmental impact statement.
I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there’s purpose and worth to each and every life.
Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.
Within the covers of the Bible are the answers for all the problems men face.
We have the duty to protect the life of an unborn child.
We can’t help everyone, but everyone can help someone.
We might come closer to balancing the Budget if all of us lived closer to the Commandments and the Golden Rule.
A people free to choose will always choose peace.
All great change in America begins at the dinner table.
Republicans believe every day is the Fourth of July, but the democrats believe every day is April 15.
My philosophy of life is that if we make up our mind what we are going to make of our lives, then work hard toward that goal, we never lose – somehow we win out.
If we love our country, we should also love our countrymen.
Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.
Recession is when a neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours.
Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today’s world do not have.
Approximately 80% of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation, so let’s not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards from man-made sources.
I’ve never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a ‘fat cat’ and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a ‘public-spirited philanthropist’.
Before I refuse to take your questions, I have an opening statement.
Don’t be afraid to see what you see.
Entrepreneurs and their small enterprises are responsible for almost all the economic growth in the United States.
Facts are stubborn things.
Man is not free unless government is limited.
The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.
The problem is not that people are taxed too little, the problem is that government spends too much.
The taxpayer – that’s someone who works for the federal government but doesn’t have to take the civil service examination.
Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.
Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.
Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
Governments tend not to solve problems, only to rearrange them.
No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we’ll ever see on this earth!
It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession. I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.
Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.
Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.
Heroes may not be braver than anyone else. They’re just braver five minutes longer.
History teaches that war begins when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap.
Mr Gorbachev, tear down this wall!
My fellow Americans, I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation which outlaws Russia forever. The bombing begins in five minutes.
How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
I call upon the scientific community in our country, those who gave us nuclear weapons, to turn their great talents now to the cause of mankind and world peace: to give us the means of rendering these nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete.
I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of national emergency, even if I’m in a cabinet meeting.
If the Soviet Union let another political party come into existence, they would still be a one-party state, because everybody would join the other party.
ABOUT JEWS
By Mark Twain
If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one quarter of one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of stardust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of; but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk.
His contributions to the world’s list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine and abstruse learning are very out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world in all ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself and be excused for it. The Egyptians, the Babylonians and the Persians rose, filled the planet with sound and splendour; then faded to dream-stuff and passed away: the Greeks and the Romans followed and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished.
The Jew saw them all, survived them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?
The above was written by Mark Twain and first published in HARPER’S magazine, September 1887.
oomis, you’ve clearly demonstrated a disdain for listening to Rabbonim anyways.
What kind of car do you drive?
This is the third exact thread. Try using one of your older ones.
Ask a shaila.
How about Tea?
And lesschumras lacks any humor.

Feivel, please continue to inspire us, the teenagers comments notwithstanding (he’ll eventually grow up.)
