    Lots of the stuff on ebay comes straight from china and costs them 4 cents to manufacture. Even the brand names are often counterfeit.

    The fact that you were in a similar situation doesn’t justify your rude comment.

    That’s what I’ve been doing for the past few weeks. The way I do it is I brew a whole pot every few days and leave it in a sealed pitcher in the fridge. Haven’t completely figured out when to put the sugar in. Originally I would put it in while it’s still hot, but then you can’t add more later. So I’ve been experimenting with simple syrup. Problem with that is that it waters down the coffee a bit (besides the ice that I put in), so I would need to compensate by making the coffee stronger. I’ll get it down soon.

    I graduated from RTMA over 10 years ago. It is certainly, as people have said, a “middle of the road” school. Some of my classmates now learn in Kollel, some are no longer frum, but a majority are right in the middle.

    Some of the Rabbeim were top notch, some were so-so. Same with teachers.

    Overall, I found myself very well prepared for my future endeavors in both limudei kodesh and limudei chol.

    It is horrible, but you’re preaching to the choir. Unfortunately, these protesters don’t care about any of that. It’s quite obvious that there’s nothing we can do to convince them that what they’re doing is wrong.

    You’re probably better off talking to a rabbi that knows you (even a litvak rabbi). It’s hard for someone to give advice like that to a person they don’t know, and it’s not a great idea for you to take advice like that from someone you don’t know.

    The existence of vaccines in their available form creates the need for a delivery vehicle (if you want to be vaccinated). The vaccines aren’t causing anything to exist.

    There are many things mentioned in the Gemara that can’t be taken at face value. It’s not your place to give reasons or explanations for events based on what the Gemara says. Unless, of course, you are a Gadol Hador

    Eh, I don’t think Sam2 owes anyone an apology. If Rav Ovadia says something, that’s one thing. It’s not your place to say that a fire was caused by chillul shabbos. (Unless you consider yourself a Gadol Hador, in which case I apologize)

    “I knew about the issue regarding plastic clothing and asked a shilah about wearing polyester mesh and the response was that we are machmir on treating ANY four cornered woven garment as a begged that needs tzitzit.”

    If they only require tzitzis because we are machmir, that implies that l’chatchila you shouldn’t wear them to fulfill your mitzvah of tzitzis, no?

    If you don’t like the davening in a certain shul, don’t daven there, simple as that. The real issue is the fact that you father feels he will be insulting the rav if he doesn’t daven there. If the rav really understands what’s going on there, he certainly shouldn’t be makpid about people davening there. That’s just being irresponsible as a rav. (I’m not suggesting that the rav would actually be makpid, I’m saying it’s wrong for someone to think that he would be.) Maybe you/someone should talk to the rav about that.

    I think most people would be hesitant to go out with someone who just converted a few months ago (even if they would consider a convert in general). People need time to figure themselves out before getting married, and someone who has just converted has probably not figured him/herself out yet.

    This is the same reason many people won’t go out with someone who just came back from Yeshivah/Seminary in Israel.

    At least 95% of people phrase the first line of Kaddish incorrectly.

    Most people say:

    “Yisgadal V’Yiskadash Sh’mei Raboh, B’alma Di V’ra Chir’useih V’Yamlich Malchuseih…”

    The correct phrasing of the first line is:

    “Yisgadal V’Yiskadash Sh’mei Raboh B’alma Di V’ra Chir’useih (COMMA!!) V’Yamlich Malchuseih…”

    (Granted, we say Amen in the middle of the line, but it should still be phrased correctly)
