    A guy goes to the cashier to pay for his newspaper.
    “Two dollars,” says the cashier.
    “Two dollars? It says in the corner one dollar.”
    Cashier: “Seriously? It’s 2022 and you still believe everything you see in the paper?”

    Husband: Tea or coffee?
    Wife: I told you coffee three times already! Why don’t you listen when I talk?
    Husband: I’m listening, I’m listening. Lipton or Earl Gray?

    Get a rat feeder, and maybe after a couple of days your neighbor will ask if both neighbors get rid of their respective feeder.

    “147 is an old timer. He is real and he is serious.”
    How sad.

    Then again, that’s coming from an old timer who I wonder if he’s either real or serious.

    @jackk I’m not following all the intricacies here, however Avira made an excellent point that YU has no problem attacking a gadol, but if someone says something against R’ Shechter or R’ Soloveichik there is no room for compromise. And you haven’t responded to it.

    re R’ Aharon Kahn not resigning from YU.

    I’m surprised at this because I have a friend who’s a big R’ Khan guy, davened in his shul and all, and he told me that R’ Kahn resigned when the club was formed and that night made a rekida in his shul for having been mikayeim bechol meodecha.

    To connect walking 7 times around the groom to Judaism, the link would have to be later than the days of Yehoshua Bin Nun entering Jericho.

    Shaina would have to have evolved within the past thousand or so years; ariella within the past hundred or so years.

    “Legally a university has to make such accommodations. If an LGBT person came out with a suit against a lakewood yeshiva they would get into trouble.”
    “Legally today, if someone sued a Beis Midrash program that is an AARTS program or getting government funds that they don’t grant people certain rights, they would also be sued.”

    Real hero mentality. Shocking that BMG and other major yeshivos aren’t scared stiff. Personally, I think it’s worth it to study law and pass the bar just in order to be able to defend such a court case against a yeshiva (if it would arise, which hopefully it wouldn’t.) But lake–whut?! and 1 (same person, BTW) fall at the feet of Neil Gorsuch and the other traitors.

    @smerel you made quite an accusation against liz and as proof cited but one line:

    oh sorry I thought you said something like “why would she be continuing with this if not for her hatred of Trump?” [answer: upholding integrity of the executive office, etc.]. good thing I reread it. So you in fact offered no proof.

    Dear Fed-Up

    Whereas I am not Zaphod, I will take the liberty of responding to your predicament, being as how this is a public forum and Zaphod has not stepped up to the task yet.

    Having certain relatives and non relatives inexplicably take up permanent residence in your living room, even temporarily, can be very infuriating and cumbersome. It’s great that you acknowledged your feelings and reached out about it.

    Find yourself a different space where you can sprawl with your shoes off. Perhaps your bedroom, your car, or your sister’s neighbor’s living room will afford you with the comfort and quiet you need. Alternatively, you can try buying a good pair of earplugs and a blindfold, and using the couch as you have always, if nobody has taken up residence in the couch itself.

    In general, it’s a good idea to avoid the home in general, as our Sages teach us: Whoever increases conversation with women is destined to inherit Gehenom. All sorts of creatures lurk around the home, and one can often feel like they almost want to take up permanent residence in a home furnishing store.

    One last idea and resort is an amulet to keep your wife, sisters, and your sister’s female neighbors away. I can provide you with the amulet, or maybe a big tzaddik somewhere. It consists of complicated words written on a dead rat, which you are to wear around your neck.

    Best of luck and stuff.

    as i mentioned, if u send a specific post, or all of a specific poster’s posts, to spam, then it counts as deletion.

    i know. i should phrase it like this. “So going on har habayis upsets you? It makes you angry?” It should. But it’s not a kareis matter. It’s a shiluach machanos matter.

    and the previous one? also spam?
    if you send it to spam after it arrives in the inbox, it counts as deletion.

    but hey maybe god, I meant mods, found my post tedious.
    maybe too religious for such sensitive subjects like people going on har habayis who are too emotional to hear anything related to religion. (from me, of course. not anyone else.)

    PS said YWN article also said that going on har habayis can be an issur kareis. Again ,that is incorrect. It’s “merely” transgressing the din of shiluach machanos. Going into the azara betumah would be an issur kareis.

    going on har habayis is a question of a lav and asei, not kareis.

    regarding the “eivah” issue, which (according to the article on YWN) the gedolim were/are concerned about: Why is it a problem? If someone says they’ll shoot the whole city if I go to my house, that makes me a rodeif if I go in my house?

    It was in spam. Next time try asking instead of accusing.

    that’s easy, as then there’s no expectation to say anything. After Davening, “hamakom yinacheim” and leave.

    there is comfort by being there. The question is the awkwardness. Because in most situations people don’t just check in, say hamakom yinacheim and leave. They’re supposed to sit there and say something, unless there are enough people doing the job for him.

    to each their own, i guess. i personally hated when ppl asked me such questions when I sat shiva. Luckily for me, I wasn’t shy to just disappear into a different room and nor remain captive in others’ hands. but at the menachems’ side of things i feel awkward. I’m not going to command someone to tell me anything. i do just keep it brief but it’s awkward, as if I’m supposed to be doing/saying something more, but am not.

    “I’ll go sign up for some mishnayes…” thanks, that is good advice.


    @anonomous
    jew ur sure your rav told you after shiva and not after shloshim? the torah [navi] tells it to us on the pasig of “vaacharisam keyom mar,” I think.
