From the begining of klal yisrael,the outer garment of a ben yisrael reached down past the knees.
That’s good. I wear pants. They reach below my knees.
Here in the Shomron I’ve been told that it has not snowed on our yishuv for the past 9 or 10 tears. I don’t miss it one bit.
PBA, please tell me:
If you serve haggis, do you recite Burns’ “Ode to a Haggis” in addition to singing zemerot, or instead of singing?
What kinds of scotch do you serve with the haggis?
You forgot the turnips! (neeps and tatties and a dram)
I found it myself. If anyone needs the announcement:

Where are you getting this information? Please be specific, as I would like to see it myself. Thanks.
To me it would seem that the halachic problem here would be that by telling people, you could be taking away parnassa (current and future) from the musician who made the music, for something that isn’t assur to begin with.
The lesson is, never assume a package left is a bomb. You may very well be wrong.. lol
This is not funny.
So, kollel guy, either you have the ability to read Rav Elyashiv’s mind, or you have spoken to him personally and you heard his reasoning from his own lips. Otherwise, you’re making huge conjectures here that you have no way to back up.
Oh, they are sitting and learning, but when they are at home they look out the window and see Pritzus.
That’s why curtains were invented.
And obviously, they’re not sitting and learning if they are out screaming at little girls.
How about this solution? The fathers bring the girls to school or the mothers dress Tzinus for the few minutes every day of bringing and picking up the kids?
Oh, and most of the Charedim do this, not just a very few!
They are right next door.
Well the MO “Frum” Jews can move to the West Bank with all the other MO’s that live there.
Even in the Israeli army, they have a rule that even when they are off duty for the day, they must still wear their uniform . . .
Maybe if you are off duty but still on the base. Certainly not when the person is home or out and about.
These Jews act with much restraint . . .
I guess we have a different view of things then. My parents taught me that throwing bricks and dirty diapers, screaming at people, and spitting on others, was not a nice thing to do. These things are certainly not what most normal people would call acting with restraint.
. . . even though the Moderne start up with them everyday in their neighborhood.
The school is not in “their” neighborhood.
And that point is having the Modern school next to their houses where they have to see Untzinus adults everyday.
Then they should move to Bnei Brak, or Kiryat Sefer, or Mea Shearim. If it bothers them that much, let them build a wall around their neighborhood so they can’t see out. Or, let them put veils around their hats.
If anything these Modern Jews who made Aliya should move back to wherever they came from!
Why should they? Living in E”Y is a mitzva dioraita. Maybe the chareidim who have the problem with the school should move back to their shtetles in Poland or Romania or where ever they came from.
You know longer have to worry about putting up appearances for the sake of your shidduch chances…Now you worry about putting up appearances for the sake of your kids’ shidduch chances 🙂
First you have to worry about putting up appearances to get your kids into the right schools.
I don’t know about Flatbush, but my wife brought one home for me that was extra special – filled with halvah. It was out of this world!
so I have made an appointment with a foot doctor (chiropractor?) for next week, what till then?
I believe the correct word is chiropodist.
My daughters have always lit their own.
Wolf:
I respect you a lot, and I love your posts.
I mean no disrespect at all, but please tell me: does anyone in your shule really care whether you were singing or not? If it bothers you to lip-sync, then don’t do it. If someone sees you aren’t singing, simply tell them why. It’s not a big deal.
Health, I notice you didn’t answer my question.
I had one once. The most excruciating pain I’d ever had, and that includes having a heart attack several years previously. I went to the ER, the doc gave me some great drugs, and I basically fell asleep for 8 hours. I woke up, and eventually left. Never did feel the stone passing out; the doctor said that perhaps it broke up on its own.
As far as prevention, they told me to drink – a lot.
B”H I’ve not had a recurrence.
Who gave you the right to argue on Gedolim?
So we can assume that you listen to every chumra spoken out by every Gadol?
MiddlePath, I thank you for the kind words about my daughter.
Move to Israel, then you won’t have to worry about Sundays – it’s a regular work/school day.
Health, all you need to say is, “Please thank your daughter for her service to Israel.” Perhaps if more young men would join the IDF, having women in the IDF would be unnecessary. Shabbat Shalom
Thank you tahini, we are very proud of her. Not just for being in the army, but for the way she’s doing it. She learned in midrasha for a year before going, and she – and a small group of friends – are known as “the mitpalalot” because they daven every morning.
Health, our rebbeim learned and received their smicha in E”Y. They know the relevant halachot very well, and I’m very sure they know them better than you.
it is very sad that some people who call themselves Rabbis told you it’s ok for a girl to be in the army!
Why? Because they know how to make a psak based on a particular situation, instead of just putting everything under a blanket “it’s assur?”
tzaddiq:
thank G-d for ties. ’nuff said.
HA! I am very proud to say I have not worn a tie in over 4 years.
Heath:
It’s Ossur Gomur for a Jewish girl to join the army!
In your opinion. Since I listen to my own Rebbeim (who know me, my family, and my daughter much better than you), and not to anonymous opinions on the Internet, I guess I’ll let this one slide. We happen to be very proud of her and what she’s accomplished in her life.
Having never been to England, is there a difference between Gateshead and Golders Green? Are they near each other?
If you went to an army ceremony, it would also be hard to pick people out due to the uniformity (pun intended) of the dress.
Funny you should mention army ceremony. I went to a tekes for my daughter last week, and the only way I was able to pick her out of the crowd was because she had a different color kumta (beret) than everyone else!
Almost anything by the Beatles. “Scenes from and Italian Restaurant” by Billy Joel, as well as most of his earlier stuff. Speaking of John Denver, how about “Calypso.” And for a really beautiful take on “Over the Rainbow,” find the version by Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo’ole.
but those who were there know that nothing has changed and nothing is going to change for at least the next 100 years or so.
I sincerely hope Mashiach will be here before then.
Well, this is a change . . . I was sure you were going to ask if going to a gym is assur . . . although I’m sure someone here will bring it up soon enough . . .
Tuna casserole? (Unless you’re Sfardi, of course.)
I will add her name to the list of people I say Tehillim for. Refua shlayma to your Bubby and all cholay Yisrael.
I’ve been to a few simchat bat celebrations on our yishuv. The parents weren’t talmidim of Rabbi Weiss; I guess they just felt like having one. It wasn’t like the OP described, it was more of an oneg Shabbat. The only brachot made were over the food; there was no mi shabayrach and no Tehillim. Really just a get-together with some l’chaims over the simcha of a Jewish birth.
What did the Rav of the shule say? If it’s OK with him then let the people grumble.
We always ask first. The host may have reasons not to strip the bed. When we have a guest in our extra bedroom, we prefer the bed not be stripped. We may not get to do a load of sheets for a few days, so this way the bed is covered until we are ready to deal with it. Of course, if the guest does it without asking, we would never say anything. The effort is always appreciated.
ariel51, no offense, we would love to have you join us here in E”Y, but if you can’t afford the airfare for a pilot trip, how do you expect to finance moving here? If you’re in ulpan full-time, you probably won’t be working full time. What do you expect to live on? Aliyah is a wonderful thing, but you MUST plan things out first. Even NBN will tell you that you need to have enough money to live on for several months, as you won’t be working right away. Have you spoken to your local shaliach?
Because some people have nothing better to do with their lives than constantly worry about what other people are “doing wrong.”
Actually, when growing up in Baltimore we referred to it as “Candle University.”
Is the question about eating at someone’s house, and the host family has teenage girls? Or, is the question about the guest family bringing teenage girls? Which is it? Is it both? What about if both the host family and the guest family have teenage girls?
yitayningwut – count the number of times E”Y is mentioned in the Torah vs. the number of times Lakewood is mentioned.
I would most definitely compare Lakewood to Eretz Yisroel.
No offense to the LOL (lovers of Lakewood), but the most shkotzy places of Tel Aviv have more inherent kedusha than all of Lakewood. Take your blinders off.
I am raising my hand as a Beatles fan. I even got one of my kids to put some Beatles’ music on her mp3 player.
I like that here we say “Shabbat Shalom.” Shalom is one of the names of HKB”H, and I think it’s nice to combine them together, almost like giving a bracha with each greeting.
Woody sounding words are good.
Not tinny.
Years ago, I had to get up early to get to a carpool to commute to northern Virginia. I noticed some bloody Kleenex in the bathroom garbage, so I assumed one of my kids had a nosebleed overnight and my wife took care of it.
I called my wife from work during the day to ask her about it, and she said she saw the Kleenex and assumed that I had taken care of the nosebleed.
At dinner that night, I asked the kids if any of them had a nosebleed the previous night. My five year old told me she did, and that she took care of it herself. I asked her, “Why didn’t you wake me up to help you?” She answered, “Abba, I didn’t want to wake you up. It was kibud Av.”
Boy, was I stunned by that. Talk about a story to remember!
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
It’s the most remarkable word I’ve ever seen.
Don’t believe me? Go ask Big Bird.
What’s to stop a shadchan from holding off on a girl until she gets older, thereby bringing in more money?
Health, I don’t need Yahoo to remember any of them. I saw them all play in person. BTW, Davey Johnson was a better second baseman than Bobby Grich.
Once upon a time, the Orioles would still be playing at this time of year.
40 years ago. Brooks Robinson is still my favorite Oriole, followed by Rick Dempsey and Mike Cueller.
