    VERY VERY USEFUL IPHONE TIP:
    THROW IT IN THE GARBAGE!
    YOUR CHILDREN WILL THANK YOU

    My cousin who’s not so frum, whatever, threw his iphone in the garbage.

    His kids didn’t thank him.

    Maybe they’re not so frum either, whatever.

    I heard it wasn’t a great movie.

    I didn’t see it myself – I have a cousin who’s not so frum, whatever, so he told me.

    Gadolhadorah.

    Thanks, but as an Orthodox Jew, I’m really only interested in what Torah sources say. I don’t care what U.S. Law says regarding this.

    I once had to put up shelves in a closet but I didn’t have a studfinder so I just drilled a bunch of holes until I found a stud and then measured from there.

    Never been to one, but I think it’s something in between an emergency room and a regular physician’s office. Like for things that aren’t urgent enough for emergency rooms, but too urgent for your regular doctor (unless your doctor can see you on-the-fly).

    The idea is to clear up emergency rooms for real emergencies.

    Also the copay is usually lower than emergency rooms.

    I was on a bus with a bunch of girls last last month.

    I was trying to listen to the latest amazing song which I was playing really quietly on my cassette player, but there was this girl who was talking so loud I couldn’t even hear the music.

    She must not have realized how loudly she was talking on a public bus…

    I think it’s impossible to stare directly at the sun at any time other than during an eclipse.

    Kudos to the webmasters for giving out free advertorials to Klall organizations, that cannot always afford to purchase online advertising space for worthy causes, but are desperate to get their important messages out to the public.

    I don’t think they’re giving free advertisements, I think they’re just not labeling the ads properly. On the old site they used to clearly write “COMMUNICATED CONTENT” but they don’t do that anymore.

    It’s both annoying and dishonest to post a paid advertisement as a news story. (I don’t think the developers/editors do it on purpose, I’m just pointing out that it comes across this way)

    Bump.

    With the new system, there are some ads which are not labeled as such. The only indication is the word “promotions” in the URL.

    The following is an example:

    Even at home, its best to avoid such commentary since its so easy to frame the comments in a way that is misunderstood or makes the recipient feel uncomfortable.

    This is excellent advice. I never comment on my wife’s appearance (or give her compliments in general) out of concern that it might make her uncomfortable.

    Also what does it mean when the “eruv is up”?

    If it’s referring to the string commonly referred to as “The Eruv”, I don’t want it to be “up”, I want it to be at the appropriate height to allow for a valid eruv chatzeiros – not too high, not too low.

    Then bring it to your Rav. If he still says do not do anything then get a second opinion from a very respected Rav and show them the recording. If all fails and you have the recording to back you up call the cops.

    So your suggestion is to go to two rabbonim and then not listen to them unless they give the desired psak?

    How about we stop using the term goyim as a whole? It clearly possesses a significant, negative connotation to a group of people who have done you no harm.

    Why would it be worse than any term referring to a person who isn’t Jewish?

    zahavasdad,

    You are completely missing the point.

    No one is saying we shouldn’t use smartphones because people got along fine without them for thousands of years.

    The point being made is that it is rude to take out your cell phone while being menachem avel.

    Ayyyy, but you’ll ask, maybe that guy was waiting for an important call, so maybe it wasn’t actually rude?

    To that, DovidBT responded: “People managed to deal with that for thousands of years without carrying phones with them everywhere they go.” (i.e. he can wait a few minutes to check his phone, or if it’s that urgent he could step out)

    How can we say every yeshiva is utilizing whatever aid IS available from the government to help frum parents carry the burden when for example there can be free lunch and we are charged $650 per child?!?

    Not following the logic

    The public school population is eating “horrible food”??? THey also seem healthier.

    Do they?

    Is that a question?
