After all the wild happiness going on in israel and by jews all over regarding the embassy move, Trump is coming out with a “peace plan” for the ongoing situation. Lets hope it doesnt burst everyones bubble, who knows what he has in store.
Forever like a stone
Selah Means forever. In Tehillim metzudas Zion writes כמו לעולם.
Gadolhadorah- you never cease to amaze. Yet im the one who gets attacked due to my litvishe name. ; )
Im not saying all doctors and dentists are the same, but its pretty natural for someone to put in less effort when they arent getting paid accordingly. In any profession not just medical.
If you were hired to clean a kitchen for $150, or clean a kitchen for $20 and expected to put in the same amount of work and time, wouldnt you cut corners?@mentsch1- What I meant was that for their work and effort, extracting a tooth would be more worth it for them than what they would get paid by medicaid for a root canal besides for the hassle of submitting proofs that its necessary.
And dentists do often rush through a treatment when they dont get paid enough.um…so how much land is this lowly embassy going to cost Israel by the “negotiations”? Sure going to be a bargaining chip on their shoulder
“Good doctors are careful not to know what type of insurance the patient has so that they do not act with bias.”
Usually they are aware or find out somehow whether intentional or unintentional. They also have small talk with you which sometimes reveals to them your working status, plus if you need a referral from them they may ask or you might volunteer info on your insurance type so that you can actually go see that referral. Same for prescriptions. It eliminates time wasting.
Medicaid Patients- yes, doctors will often rush the visit and get up very soon signaling that your session is over. Its basically cutting corners as it allows them to compensate for the small fee they collect from medicaid.
Same with dentists, even worse. They will sometimes rush bigger treatments like extracting a tooth over fixing it with a root canal or similiar since they will get paid better for the extraction rather than the whole treatment. Also might use less quality materials for treatments.
Some people on medicaid go in for a cleaning and leave with less clean teeth than if they would’ve just brushed.In general you have to be careful with doctors skipping to more serious treatments than necessary (MONEY), although with medicaid they try less to avoid them.
Accepting medicaid patients does not contradict accepting private insurance patients. So what does it have to do with parnassah? If anything they are broadening their spectrum.
Besides, most doctors will give less time for medicaid patients so they do work around that problem of less fee. Not saying its right or wrong but at least they see them.@littliknow
-yes i know that money “shouldnt” make or break marriages but the sad reality today is that it does. Lets face it,girls today are programmed with the whole feminist,equal opportunity, equal rights, egalitarian,women empowerment, women in the work force, and all that stuff that has negatively impacted their thought process and expectations toward guys. It is a shame but it obviously affects many “frum” women who dwell in this. On one hand its hard to blame them since nowadays most of them have college degrees and “careers”, so they expect no less from the potential guy they will marry.
The reality though, is that not every guy fits their dreamy description of a perfect match. Some guys just “work” for a living through an honest job, make enough money to support and also aspire to get progress in life. Many girls dont understand that not everything will come wrapped up in a perfect bow and delivered to them on day one. If they truly believed what they write in their profiles regarding “I want someone so that we can grow together”, things would be different. But obviously they dont want to “grow together” , they want the finished product. And on top of all that, they want a full time learner, earner, and full time husband in the house. Go figure how that works?Unfortunately the sad reality today has A LOT to do with money. Girls have a very narrow list of what jobs they are willing to accept. And they work as well so even more so it shouldnt be a problem. But hey, my money is mine, and your money is mine as well so go get a career!
by the way i was being sarcastic in case anyone took it seriously
I think money would do the trick. A big bank account never hurts. There are so many good guys out there that get rejected due to not having $100,000 income. Less than that “can’t” support a family. It also doesn’t help that the info the girls get from their parents and “friends” influence their minds that way.
Maybe the sis isn’t married therefore has no sheitel so looks like hanging out. Thought of that?
Could also mean they on a shidduch but why walk aroundOh ya Trump sure is an oheiv yisrael. Breaking news- after the embassy moves there will be a back stabbing demand of Israel giving over control of 4 Arab villages in East Jerusalem to the palis as one of many steps towards the “peace process” and Arabs capital of Jerusalem. This will be one of many back stabbing decisions.
Just when you thought the 2 state solution was dead and Trump became a Jew, you see it is well and alive in their minds.
Actually if you adopt they usually put a tracking chip into the animal. So if you eat it, you’ll tell them it ran away and they’ll see it ran into your stomach.
What a shame that aside from the strict kashrus we keep we can’t even eat vegetables anymore. Especially the best tasting ones.
Actually there are TONS of family friendly BBQ events so why stop there.
Difference between consul and embassy? Wasn’t the tel Aviv only a consul? Is it being upgraded to embassy or is it just going to be combined with the Jerusalem location?
@littleiknow”-There is no residual kedusha on Har Sinai”
– I don’t get it, how do we say there is no kedusha on har Sinai when some don’t even dispose of something that was used for a mitzvah such as lulav, ptilos from Chanukah menora, oil, esrog and so on. Furthermore chassidim who cherish their rebbeim makom tefilla,objects,chair or even anyone else who purchase glasses or other items that used to belong to gedolim.
Aren’t there stories in talmud when they said they can even learn from the walking stick of a certain Tanna since he was so holy?
How can we say that a place that the Torah was given on has no kedusha anymore?
The fact that the shechina was there, and that Moshe Rabbeinu walked there is already other worldly.Wow sounds great…maybe post more info regarding contacts, location and schedule for people here who might be interested
Yes. Im referring to minhag Ashkenaz or those who take haircuts lag b’omer.
When it comes to briyas haolam its such a deep concept that we cannot grasp. There are also many opinions on how long every day was. But obviously we go by the 5778 which is correct as of today.
Aharon Hakohen alleged kever is an actual structure that someone built as you will see in the video. Its atop a very high mountain.
As far as simanim I havent heard but Im sure there are many perushim on it. Maybe you can enlighten us.“How did we survive thousands of years without air conditioning, until for most people until less than a hundred years ago, and for many people until less than 50 years ago”
-Houses were built differently with higher ceilings and other tricks to keep heat rising and specific window alignments to allow ventilation throughout the house. But ya in general there were times that were hot. But probably not as hot as the houses we live in which are built in a way that relies on indoor climate control.
so can you take a haircut erev lag b’omer, leil, or lag b’omer day?
Keeto- many are familiar with those pictures. Noone knows for sure if it’s in Saudi Arabia or Egypt there are 2 disputed locations. Secondly the rock that has a split I heard doesn’t match the location in Torah.
The gold chariots are old news as well and is only a possibility especially since there are disputed locations of the yam suf crossing. Some say bnei yisrael crossed somewhere which has elevated land inside the water and all sorts of theories.
Noah’s ark there is actually a very new and recent youtube video where someone captures video with a drone and is standing right near it. It is an unusual structure but I heard that it might just be a monumental structure that someone built to commemorate the event.
Also there is a video of people going up to Aharon Hakohens kever in Jordan on “hor hahar” which is a 6 hour hike up the mountain and they say it’s his tomb. Actually very exciting to watch look it up.
Yes these things give chizuk until you get disappointed by hearing disputed facts and theories that don’t match up. Besides we obviously believe in all these events regardless and don’t need the proof to be our chizuk and we know that many places have been covered up/destroyed over time or we don’t have any specific mesorah from generation to generation for whatever reason. Maybe they didn’t see any importance in it idk.
It is nice though to see these things in real life and close up, places and objects that we read and learn about in Torah, but it’s only secondary. Fascinating if you know for sure what you are looking at. To stand in a place where such great Tzaddikim stood so many years ago.“it also shows the cave of eliyaho hanavi in the same mountain”
-Isn’t mearat eliyahu in haifa?
It’s probably part of the red Sea there’s a great piece on it if you Google “sea of suph” the website address is .il (Israel)and the name is etzion so scroll down for it. Don’t know who they are but lot of info and sources. Also brings up the fact that Shlomo Hamelech built a port or something and it says it’s between Eilat and yam suf so it would have to be the red Sea. The exact crossing location is another subject. Also if you Google Solomon’s pillars red Sea you will see images of alledged pillars that were placed marking the location of the crossing. It’s unclear since images show crossing the sea but don’t we know that bnei yisrael crossed in a semi circle back to Egypt? Anyway I think the pillars had been removed by saudi forces but many pictures and diagrams to check out.
Also har Sinai disputed if it’s in Saudi Arabia or Egypt
Shoulder is best.
not a great cut, more fat than meat

“WolfishMusingsGlad-to see this thread come around again. I’m always on the lookout for new spots for dates.”
-youre welcome
@decoyerebbe- you seem pretty confident for something so disputed
how about yam suf where is that?
Highline park
Tango- yes but usually people at least read the opening comment to know what the discussion is about. So I remain strong on my point.
