Yanky55 –
The one in Sefer Shemos is “Ki yad al keis kah” at the end of Parshas Beshalach.
The other is “Ki gam zeh lach ben;” I forget about exactly which of the shevatim it was said.
Miriam Adahan once mentioned that she heard of a girl named “Achi.” She figured it must be short for Achinoam (mostly used by Sephardim in Israel), but asked anyway.
Turns out – her name was short for Achzavah (disappointment)!! Her parents had wanted a boy…
My family once had everyone (adults and kids) bring in a small gift, not wrapped, valued between $1 and $5. We divided into groups of about 10, with one person holding a bag of small items.
The person holding the bag would call out two letters, say A and T, and then pull out a gift. The first person who could come up with a reasonable name for the object using words made with those two letters got to keep the gift.
For example, if the person pulled out a small doll, one could say “adorable toddler” etc.
AOB: ENVELOPE
Whoops, just saw Mod’s post – I’ll try T then.
AOB: E
I would never have married a guy who smoked. It seems to me that smoking indicates a reckless attitude, that the person has no respect for his own life, let alone his family’s lives, or the lives of anyone else in the world. I heard recently that third-hand smoke is just as dangerous as second-hand. For those who don’t know, third-hand smoke is inhaling the smoke and particles that have landed on the smoker’s clothes, etc. even after the cigarette is finished. I know someone who worked in a morgue, and he said that he could always tell when the corpse he was dealing with had been a smoker during their life – the lungs looked like the inside of a vacuum cleaner. The type of guy that I wanted to marry when I was in shidduchim was the type who did care about himself and his family, and who took more than his personal pleasure into account before doing the things he did.
Anyway, BH the man I married does not smoke, and because people in his family did/do smoke, he is so turned off smoking that he can’t even think of picking up a cigarette.
The 6+2 is only minhag ha’gra, and many hold that washing 6 times is perfectly in accordance with halacha.
I can stay out of this argument, because I’m not popular at all yet.
However, I did feel the need to stick my two cents in so that I might one day become popular like all of you! 🙂
So popular that he got blocked, huh?
It was GivPerf – but I was more of a lurker, so I don’t know if anyone will remember me.
But I remember asdf. 🙂
It was GivPerf, if that means anything. I maybe posted once or twice.
Hi, everyone, I’m new… and that’s about all I have to say on the matter. 🙂
Thank you, Jax! I was actually a member a few months ago under a different username, but the passwords they send are ridiculous! I didn’t realize I could change it. 🙂
How about an E?
