“Is it disrespectful to a tzibbur to speak when nobody is interested in what you are saying? “

Popa – Would it be disrespectful for your son to do that while you are speaking to him? Even if he is not interested in what you are saying?

Totally uncouth, shows lack of kovod harav, in my opinion. I would not even do that if a LECTURER who is NOT a rov, was giving a boring speech. Just shows ill-mannered boorish behavior.

Teshuva for murder is completed only with the death of the posheya. Murder and killing someone are not necessarily the same thing.

I have baked it with marinara sauce and frozen peas and carrots.

Also made it in the microwave in a covered pyrex dish covered halfway with water and spice the same as usual with carrots, celery, and onion, some salt and pepper and sugar). It microwaved for 40 minutes and was great.

Also like to defrost (2 each)salmon gefilte fish loaves and white fish loaves, mix each one with an egg, ground onion and carrot, and some sugar and salt, and add red chrein to the salmon. Then I either layer the fish in a loaf pan (white gefilte fish, salmon g.f., white, salmon) and bake it covered for about 45-50 minutes or until the top is very firm, or I take a spoon and throw dollops of alternating fish into the pan and then marbleize it with a knife and bake it the same way. It makes for a really spectacular presentation when sliced, and I hollow out (nearly to the bottom) a section of unpeeled cucumber (cut off the ends first) and fill each section with chrein and put it on the side of the slice of fish. Looks SO pretty.

Sweetbreads are made from the thymus gland (my late father-in-law was a butcher). They only LOOK like brains.

OOMIS- you’d be very suprised what I see going on in girls schools…. “

Then it is up to the menahalim to set the standards that they expect to be adhered to, and enforce them. But not in pre-school, where the main criteria must be comfort (within acceptable halachic quidelines), and neatness to the extent that a normal school day spent with little ones, allows.

If you have small children, do you always look like Mrs. Cleaver (from Leave it to Beaver) all day? That was a disservice done to so many women who felt inadequate for not wearing pearls and high heels all day as she did, and not looking like models when their husbands came home from work. Most of us were just happy to not have baby cereal in our snoods, at the end of the day.

I agree with you that people should dress professionally, but each profession requires a different set of fashion rules. The plumber does not come to your home dressed for a tea party.

I also love the Scottish accent. brings me back to my Star Trek days. “I canna dyoo it Captain. I’ve goht tyoo have moorrrrhhh time!”

The title page of the Shulchan Aruch Harav only says “Shulchan Aruch”.

Hence the necessity for authors to get the exclusives rights to the names of their work nowadays.

Proper British (as opposed to Cockney) is my favorite, followed by South African, Australian, and upper Bostonian. Definitely not Noo Yawk.

The original post was discussing pre-school teachers, NOT teachers in the older grades, where they should of course, always look very professional, as they are role models for their older students. Three and four year olds, do not look to their Morahs as role models. They just want them to pass the glue and glitter, and occasionally wipe their noses.

” if you are being a teacher then you should know that the job gets dirty and if you are s worried then dont become a etacher”

I don’t think you realize how that last sentence sounded. Most teachers of very young children DO realize that the job entails “getting down and dirty” literally, and they therefore dress accordingly. I have rarely seen them in shaitlech, and the one teacher I know who did, wore a very ratty shaitel,and would actually have looked more presentable for the public, in a snood.

Think spicy curd kugel.What do you think Little Miss Muffet was eating?

Cottage cheese. It was not spoiled milk. It was milk that had the solids (curds) and liquids (whey)separate frome ach other.

A lot of good advice has been given here. Aries had it on the nose, and GAW and others had good suggestions on inviting the boys to spend time at your home. The key is to make sure your own child does not feel disenfranchised. it is unfortunately very true that many groups of kids DO make others feel unwelcome, so the kid who is potentially gong to go OTD, will go where he or she DOES feel welcome. In my college years that meant kids were becoming Moonies.

Tuna, lettuce, tomato, and onion on the freshest rye bread with caraway seeds. sliced on the diagonal and served with a really crisp sour pickle. But nobody makes a tuna sandwich the way I like it best. The owner of the only restaurant that really made my favorite tuna, retired.The restsaurant became a fleishigs place. I don’t know WHAT they put in that tuna, but it was incredible.

Hawaii IS in the USA.

I am very sensitive about this issue as a minor (age 17 and a half) conned my parents out of $200 a few decades ago, with a sob story about his father being hospitalized and he needed the money to buy tools to be an apprentice repairman. He was a Yeshivah acquaintance of my brother’s, so my parents never questioned his story, until the repayment (that was to be made at the end of two weeks when he was to get paid that amount), stretched into two months where we could not find him or have him return calls. My parents spoke to his parents and they flatly refused to be achrayim on their son’s gneivah, though they were well aware he had scammed other frum couples in a similar manner before for a couple of years.

I have to say, if one of my children in their minor years chalilah caused financial injury to someone, I would be mortified not to make good on it, as clearly something did not filter through regarding honesty, in my kid’s upbringing. I would make that child pay ME back in spades, but I would see to it that the injured party was compensated properly, immediately.

PS, almost a year had passed and it was erev yom kippur. The boy’s parents called my father to ask his mechilah and paid back the money that their son stole from him.

I do not care for our Presidential or Vice-Presidential choices, but is this really his fault?

“Oomis-despite what ppl think hair is not really getting ruined from these things. i used to think the same thing too until i started teaching and having to wear the sheital myself”

Sorry Wise Woman, I respectfully could not disagree with you more. I babysat for my granddaughter since she was born, and whatever project we worked on together always ended up with sparkles on my snood or cap, sticky gluestick residue, and forget about the paint. Sheitlech cost a GREAT deal of money, and they are just impractical to wear on a daily basis (some of us only own one or two of them)when working with small children, and sticky little fingers, especially if they are 2-3 years old. In regular school, I think most female teachers should come to school in a wig or in a hat, but not for preschool. And as was pointed out, people should dress for the job they do. Everyone has a uniform. Most of those uniforms can be easily thrown into the wash when they get dirty.

If your opinion is that a snood is a schmatta, by all means do not wear them. But I have seen attractive snoods that look perfectly fine on my (then) pre-schoolers’ morahs, and I imagine they have even prettier ones today, that work just fine as a fashion accessory. My friend has several VERY pricey and dressy snoods, and ONLY wears them for Shabbos and/or chasunahs, as she does not believe in wearing wigs (not for tzniusdig reasons, but more that she is just not a wig-person).

I don’t think the two are comparable. An alcoholic will often abuse his/her loved ones (if only with negligence), while smokers do not.”

Smokers DO abuse their families. The tragedy is that they might not recognize the abuse they are inflicting until a family member comes down with a respiratory ailment. The other abuse they inflict is the tzaar they cause their loved ones as they slowly die from their self-inflicted lung cancer, emphysema, stomach cancer, throat cancer, and lip and tongue cancer. If you do not believe that this abusive behavior, there is nothing to talk about. And lest you compare it to people who die from overweight issues, at least the obese are not causing their family and friends to “catch” an illness from them. In some cases, yes, you will see wight problems in a family, but it is a reversible machlah. Once smoking has done its damage,there is not much to do about it, except suffer and die a slow and painful death.

“You like? Ok, here goes:

1. Are you yotzei with stolen oil?

Assuming you are not;

1b Reuven lights with oil that he thinks he stole from Shimon, but it is really Reuven’s oil, is Reuven yotzei?

1c Suppose he knows that you are not yotzei with stolen oil, but he has daas to be yotzei anyway.

1d Suppose he is a shaliach of Shimon to light, and he thinks it is Shimon’s oil but it is his own, is he stealing his own oil? Is shimon yotzei? Must reuven pay himself? “

He is Yotzei on lighting (becuase it really was his own property), and oveir in hirhur to commit a crime (thinking it was Shimon’s). The kavanah is part of it.

EXCELLENT!

I would pick my primary avocation, that of incredible Ema. No regrets, no looking back, no need for greater “fulfillment,” in my life. I had a paid profession prior to having children, and a part-time one when they were all in school. But the one that gave me the greatest pleasure (and sometimes the greatest aggravation) was and continues to be, mother and now grandmother of the last few years. Nothing, but nothing beats that for me.

I always felt the truly Democratic thing to do would be to let two people rung for president. The winner would be pres, and the runner up would be vice pres. The people would select these two to run (and anyone else who wanted to, as well) by a popular primary.
