I think the OP means to say, as you make supper, sing Lishana etc
If the chareidim riot and protest the light rail when it is on Bar Ilan and Shmuel Hanavi, what do you think they would do if you open a stop by Mir and Brisk?
It is clear from the sugya in the Daf this week that Am HAdomeh Lachamor is referring specifically to Eliezer Eved Avrohom and not Yishmael. Avadim and not goyim. Why this is so is beyond the limited scope for a coffeeroom comment, but it is clear that is how the gemara learns the drasha.
The Palestinians say big deal you showed us pix? You faked them. You played a recording? You made that up. And America lied to cover up their friend Israel. Their crazy and wrong, but that’s their shitah in life.
If gemara aramaic is an issue, I will offer a suggestion I’ve given to others over the years that has proven successful at different levels for different people. Be Maavir sedra – shnayim mikra v’echad targum. And PAY ATTENTION to the language of both passuk and Targum when you are saying the targum. That will help you develop a familiarity with the Lashon Arami used by our Chazal.
If his role models include Meyer Lansky, well . . . .

So how is celebrating Simchas Torah (a clear Yom Tov act) on Shmini Atzeres being mevazeh Yom Tov?
YG45: Is there a difference between an Israeli celebrating Simchas Torah too openly on Shmini Atzeres in chu’l and a chu’l resident celebrating Simchas Torah too openly on Isru Chag in Israel?
Don’t confuse attendance at a Shidduch event with actual numbers in the community at large.
Sounds like a bunch of people not capable of getting it throwing mud at people who do out of a sense of jealousy that they missed the boat and compensating for their ignorance. Let’s take down people who get what we don’t so we don’t have to feel that we’re lacking anything.
People are saying mamash shtusim. Lakewood is no longer a Torah Town? Lakewood is the Torah town in America!! True that it is no longer 100% exclusively Torah anymore. That started changing as baalei batim who were machshiv Torah, most of whom were former full time lomdei Torah, chose to settle in the proximity of this place which is chuz la’aretz’s biggest option of a makom Torah. There are literally thousands and thousands of Bnai Torah osek full time in Torah, mitoch dachkus umesiras nefesh. Yes there is wealth there as well. Have an ayin tova about it and you will understand that even the wealthy baal habos largely understands what is important, what he wants to expose his children to, and where and how he wants to raise them. And that leads to some ostentatiousness in neighborhoods near where the true pas bamelech tochal crowd lives. Ashreinu that we have such bnai Torah, and that we have such baalei batim that value it.
FWIW, I know Rav Zev Leff and have conversed with him on the subject of Chabad as well as many other topics. There is NO WAY in the world, in a million years, that he has any belief that RMMS ZL is, was, or will ever be Moshiach.
CA: Grammar police here. You probably meant room and board. Food is board.
Avram: I don’t know about you, but personally, I was happy to see CTLAWYER swooping in with some comedy. Shows to me that he’s coming back to himself after a horribly difficult period in his life. May he, and all of us, know no more tzaar.
Trump guy: You opened a debate and then said a few minutes later that you’re not trying to start a debate?
Whatever.
SR: If you would make a kosher corned beef sandwich available to them in Thailand, they’d cover for you too.
Mesivta Chasan Sofer Purim SHpiel from the late 70s. Maybe 1978?
Jackkkkkk surely meant Santos not Soros. I think he was just thinking too much about his patron saint, the funder of all the politicians he loves.
Does the Great Wall of China make that entire country no longer a Reshus Harabim?
Chicago has two Chassidishe Kollelim, one affiliated with Zidichov, and the other with Veitzen. Also Detroit has one, in addition to the ones listed above.
Until the adoption of the Twentieth Amendment in 1933, presidential and congressional terms began and ended at noon on March 4. In 1849 March 4 fell on a Sunday. On the morning of March 4, President James Polk signed the last of the session’s legislation at the White House and at 6:30 a.m. recorded in his diary, “Thus closed my official term as President.” The Senate, having been in session all night, adjourned sine die at 7:00 a.m. President-elect Zachary Taylor, in observance of the Christian Sabbath, preferred not to conduct his inauguration on Sunday, March 4, and the ceremony was delayed until the next day. On Monday, March 5, Taylor took the oath of office on the Capitol’s east front portico and the transition of power was complete.3
The Inauguration of Gen. Zachary Taylor, 1849
The inaugural ceremonies for President Zachary Taylor took place on the east portico of the Capitol on March 5, 1849, one day after the expiration of his predecessor’s term.
Library of Congress
But if President Polk’s term ended on March 4 at noon, and Zachary Taylor was not sworn in until noon on March 5, who was president on March 4? Under the Presidential Succession Act of 1792 the Senate president pro tempore immediately followed the vice president in the line of presidential succession. Had Atchison been president from noon on March 4 to noon on March 5?
s there any truth to the idea that Atchison was the chief executive for a day? No. Atchison himself did not take the idea seriously. He wrote in 1880 that “I never for a moment acted as President of the U.S.” Congress did not make any determinations about who was president on March 4, and Atchison certainly did not sign official paperwork, but he did have some fun with it. He later joked that because of the long nights in session the previous days, he might have slept through his “term” except that his friends woke him to congratulate him and seek patronage jobs for their friends. “I recollect,” he said in 1889, “that Senator Mangum of North Carolina suggested that I make him secretary of state.” He liked to say that his presidency had been “the honestest administration this country ever had.”5Letter Written by David Rice Atchison (D-MO), ca.1880, Addressing the Myth that he was President for One Day
In 1880, Atchison wrote in a letter, “I never for a moment acted as President of the U.S.”
Shapell Manuscript Foundation
In 1925 historian George Haynes—an authority on the Senate—dismissed the claims of Atchison’s presidency. The clearest indication that Atchison was not president, he noted, was the fact that Atchison’s existing term as senator and, more importantly, as president pro tempore, had ended at noon on March 4. The position of president pro tempore was, in fact, vacant. Atchison was not elected to the position again until the Senate’s special session convened at noon on March 5. Minutes later the president and vice president took their oaths.Who is Atchison?
There’s some legend that R Shayala told some of his people who were going to America that if they wanted someone to connect to, they should go see his brother. Whatever.
Talk divrei Torah? In the Mikvah?

Not sure I get the raya from Yaakov’s lack of response that he held that age order is correct. Yaakov himself planned, at that very wedding, to skip an older sister to marry a younger.
Why would an ehrliche person reject Chazal who say Hanosei ishe tzarich sheyivdok b’acheha, mipneh sherov banim domim l’achei ha’em. Proceed how you wish, and take whatever reports you hear under whatever level of advisement you wish. But you will me mal’ig a significant chazal due to lack of empirical evidence?
Redleg: However, you will then be an Eino metzuve v’oseh. See Tosfos Pesachim 3b, among other sources
That’s probably because BLM burned down the other 8
Of course we say every Monday and Thursday. (OK, not during Nissan) Acheinu kol bais Yisroel hanesunim batzara etc.
Oh you mean that other tefila that was made to focus on a specific group, and to not include most yidden suffering in various situations all over the world? Tell me, please. Who is the one really lacking Ahavas Yisroel?I heard it directly from one of her (former) major customers. She told him that there were several factors. But the difficulty in finding people, even at 65.00 per hour, made it not worth it to fight through all the struggles.
Shatzer bakery closed down this year because they can’t find workers. So I don’t think it’s taking any parnassa away from anyone who actually wants it.
Since some people don’t seem to know what is being discussed, 1.4142135 was referring to Meilich Kohn’s rendition.
One good way to kill a thread. Copy and paste a 1700+ word article, including footnotes.
Levi: You are surely aware that Toras and Soras are the same word. Ditto with chesef, kesef, chasef and kasef. Changes are only based on syllable count, Ehev”i endings, and “trop”. There is no such word though, and is a distortion of a possuk to say v’noy v’noyhafoch hu, as does a certain composer/singer who has become famous in recent years.
Interesting that one would go to the coffeeroom on this one and not to a Bais Medrash. Harbeh dyo nishpach al zeh.
Anyone who knows anything about resumes knows that a shidduch resume is not a resume. Its contact information. Helps you get information faster and easier.
Not aware of any opinion in Chazal that says that the Etz Hadaas was an apple tree. I’ve seen it depicted as such in Goyishe and secular, non Orthodox artwork. But in a Torah source, not aware of any such thing.
I bought some clothing at Macys. Can you help me with their return policy?
It is Shiluach haken, not hakan. The word in the Torah is Kan Tzipor which means nest of a bird. Kan is a possessive word. If that which is being possessed does not immediately follow, then the regular word is kain.
As a Chicagoan, I can guarantee you that Illinois wins hands down on the cannabis angle. And Michael Jordan brought more championships in 8 years than the Cubbies have in a century and a half. And of course more than the Indians, Browns, and Cavs combined.
Besalel: Would Rabbi Feldman put Abaye in cherem for arguing on Rava?
Some would say we’ve moved to the right. Others might say it was an overdue correction for all the leftward forces since haskala began.
I don’t get Reb Shlomo. He says he learned Yehoshua, Shoftim, Shmuel and Melachim, but he’s complaining he doesn’t know history? Those that he did learn are 90% of all the history in Tanach! There’s virtually no history in any of the other sefarim, other than Daniel Ezra and Nechemiah.

And then Vinny took care of Louie. Don’t want any loose ends!!
UJM:
1. According to most rishonim, shmitta is meshamet chovos at the end of the year. There are minority opinions that hold the beginning of the year.
2. Financially no. However, as a chizuk for the Takana, some encourage anyway.
3. Needs to be retained until RH. After, if you think that your collection will end up in Bais din and the other party will taana that shmitta was meshamet, you’ll need to prove that it was done.
4. Yes.
5. Yes.
6. Yes.
7. No.How is that different from what happens here all the time anyway?
The Schumer tape’s being ignored by all the left wing media as well as the justice department is one of the biggest proofs the to right wing’s philosophy that the entire system is stacked against us. How saying that it is two years old is some kind of defense absolutely boggles the mind.
