lol
not bad
I once asked my wife why my neighbor’s wife is a better baker. She said he brings his wife more dough.
You aren’t? Did you try going to singles events?
Or, or, you could just give cookies. That way if they are worse than his wife’s, he feels good about his wife. And if they are better than his wife’s then at least he has good cookies.
Maybe sneak poison into the neighbors cookies.
Her cookies were better, huh? Dare you to say it now.
I’m not popa. I’m her husband posting on her account. Sorry about the confusion before.
Popa thinks you should dress for a wedding the way you dress for a date.
More accurately, he thinks you should dress for a date the way you dress for a wedding.
Of course, and if you moved to Nazareth then you celebrated christmas
I got into BJJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whooooooooooooooooooooooooo hooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
Anyone else gonna be there? Be my classmate? Maybe my roommate? maybe I’ll marry your brother???
Another halachah is that when you settle in a new community you accept its halachic norms. By not doing these things you are following a different religion from Judaism.
Where do you dream this stuff up?
So if I move to a town with only a Conservative shul then I become Conservative?

Believe in them? I see them on the CR all the time!
what Damoshe said.
Best. Technology. Ever.
I have an app that listens to a daf yomi shiur for me, and then also reads the daf inside, and then also reads all the daf yomi websites. All without me even looking at or listening to anything.
It literally does it all for me.
I used to once upon a time live in a community like that.
Originally, I thought I’d have a policy that I don’t eat out anywhere except at rabbis’ houses (which wouldn’t work here, I guess). But then I decided I’d just say no where I wasn’t comfortable, and yes where I was. I ended up eating at a total of like 4 houses besides my own.
Theirs, theirs, theirs, theirs, and theirs. That’s five. But maybe not all at the same time.
Really, I would be invited and I’d just say I can’t come, sorry, thanks for the invite. Nobody ever pressed the issue.
I was surprises at the people who thought I would eat at their house. I’m like, if you write on facebook that you’re eating at a non-kosher restaurant, I’m not going to eat at your house! (But instead I just said I can’t make it)
A boy in shidduchim is like a baboon. You can put him in a suit and tie, and you can make him eat fruits and vegetables, but eventually he’s gonna scratch his armpits and fling garbage all over.
I duuuunoooooo
ROB:
Do you think I’ve seen rabbis and communities outside of NY, monsey, and Lakewood?
Do you really think we are all so sheltered? This is the internet. There’s a lot of us here.
I use apps, ipads, touchpads, interactive online programming, brain imaging, robots, vaccines, and all technology.
Look, I don’t think we need to so far as deciding whether every rabbi deserves rabbinic respect. There can be rabbis who you rabbinically respect but simply don’t keep your standards of kashrus. For whatever reason we need not address.
Popa, are you saying that a band needs special written permission for each song they will play at a wedding?
No, there’s a b’feirush heter for performing other peoples music:
“(a) The exclusive rights of the owner of copyright in a sound recording are limited to the rights specified by clauses (1), (2), (3) and (6) of section 106, and do not include any right of performance under section 106 (4).” 17 USC 112(a)
zahavasdad
However Kavod L’Rav is a Halacha
I’m sure to remember you said that.
What is the spell used by mods to delete posts?
Popa, why not? I never heard of an Issur to play and record your music of someone else’s song.
I don’t know much about the issur, but certainly that is part of the copyright issue.
I most certainly would understand if they wouldn’t. I’d even understand if they would say they don’t feel comfortable in my kitchen at all since I do those things.
Suppose my radio station plays various songs, and you can download the show for free.
And then I cut the individual notes apart, and put them back together in a different order and thus make “copies” of other songs that I actually want. Is that ok?
I think you did the right thing. And sometimes life is just awkward.
Dovid Hamelech says he used to talk about the Torah when he would get together with other kings, and it was very awkward because the other kings wanted to talk about hunting and corn mazes and whatever else they played.
But Dovid says: ?????? ??????? ??? ????? ??? ????
I think you are correct that talking out your issues is unlikely to lead to your accepting his kashrus. If he is a reasonable person, he’ll understand (the same way I understand that people who keep yoshon don’t want to eat my challah), but, if he is a reasonable person he probably also won’t push the issue.
FTR I posted gravity before seeing skydiving
Yichus is like friday afternoon. If you still haven’t started home 45 minutes before candle lighting, it’s gonna be close.
Yichus is like a tissue. If it’s dirty, you don’t particularly care whose nose it was.
Yichus is like the law of gravity. It doesn’t matter how high you started, if your current trajectory is down.
Yichus is like shidduchim. He’s old, ugly, fat, annoying, immature, and mean. But you’re told it’s ok because he has yirash shomayim.
Ok, that’s better.
Yichus is like Napoleon. And like Squeak. Once your on top, it doesn’t get any better, so you should quit while you’re ahead.
Yichus is like ywn. Harping on it is not how work gets done. Be back later with more.
Yichus is like a potato. Good for making kugel and cholent; but not great for things that really matter, like whiskey.
Yichus is like YWN. The old posters think they’re funnier than the new posters, but only because they can’t hear that nobody’s laughing.
Yichus is like an old record player. It’s the first thing people comment on when they walk into your living room. But when they want music, they pull out an Ipod.
Yichus jokes are like Chuck Norris jokes. The first one you made wasn’t as funny as the squeaks, and neither was the 15th.
Yichus is like a giraffe. It can reach really really high and far, but the leaves it eats are no different than the ones the zebra eats.
Yichus is like a cow turd. The old ones are better than the new ones. But, there isn’t exactly a short supply.
Yichus is like a Chuck Norris joke. You get to say a cool guy’s name, but it doesn’t make your joke any funnier.
Yichus is like a pumpkin. The big ones look really awesome, but inside they all just have pumpkin.
Yichus is like your father being president. You’ll probably get into Harvard, but you when you get to the real world, everyone will figure out if you’re a doofus.
(because mathematically it is clear that most of us are descended from most rishonim) (and like all amoraim)
Yichus is like a potato plant. The only good part of it is under the ground.
Yichus is like the lottery. It only makes sense if you’re bad at math.
