Absolutely none of the prisoners released by Bibi has ever killed an American and they pose no threat to the United States.
lolwut
Of course they have. There have been many many Americans killed by palestinian terrorists in Israel. Why in the world do you assume none of those were among the released?
Syag, I haven’t been part of this discussion, and have read like only the last 2 posts.
But disregarding the story that happened in this thread, you do agree that shadchanus is governed by the halachos discussing it, and that the halacha says there is an objective amount which is the correct amount, and that it is determined by what most other people do?
And it makes sense that there should be a set required payment also. If you don’t want to pay the piper, don’t use their services and call the tune.
That’s what I did. I didn’t want to pay a shadchan so I went off and found my own. And I reckon she’s better than all those retards from BJJ being peddled by the shadchans. (Or, at least, she’s less than $1,000 worse.)
(That last line was probably not worth losing dinner over, but there’s a whole day until dinner…)
Yes, I testify that itche is no longer a college sheigetz. And the rabbanut better be mekabel it.
yitay, you like my parsley story?
I mean, the svara doesn’t seem to be related to the issur retzicha, so my guess is it shouldn’t matter.
Also, does it refer to someone with perfect eyesight, average eyesight, median eyesight, or something else.
What if you find out you’re Jewish, but just not frum. What would you do then?
best is if you have the same name as her mother.
Maybe there are more bugs now because of global warming. After all, the earth is warmer than it has ever been. So it makes sense there is more infestation.
I just ate a yogurt with strawberries that had an OU-D on it. And it was organic too.
I assume there are deductions. Certainly it is a tax on net income, not on gross.
Did you try smashing it on a black garbage bag and watching the buggies squirm out, as GAW recommends?
If you start allowing technological advances to change halachah, ein l’dvar sof.
I’m just pointing out that to insist that you have to do inspections that were impossible in the times of Chazal and that if you don’t you are eating non-kosher bugs you are saying that Chazal ate non-kosher bugs chas v’shalom!
A tad ironic coming from someone who thinks that social “advances” should change halacha, and that chazal were a bunch of bigots seeking to oppress women and other groups.
Just sayin
300 bucks? What did you do this time?
look what I found.
ROB:
I think you read too quickly. I wrote that while I was staring at it trying to figure it out, it dried off and started crawling across my finger.
ROB
I think you misunderstand me.
The bug was definitely assur, and was clearly visible as a bug once it dried itself off and started walking around on my finger.
I wanted a magnifying glass for my own convenience, so that I should not have to sit there squinting at it until it found its towel and finished cleaning behind its ears.
Magnifying glasses did not exist in talmudic times.
Yes, but bugs did. And as the story continues, it started crawling.
I checked a big bushel of parsley last night, the way the star-k says to.
First I soaked it in soapy water. Then I rinsed it. Then I agitated it in a bowl of clean water and pulled it out. I checked the water and it was clean.
But I had only stuck the front in, not the stems. So I agitated the stems in the water.
I checked it, it was clean.
Wait, what is that little thing I can barely see floating in the water. Lemme grab it. Missed. Where did it go? Who knows. Lemme look again. Need more light. There it is. Missed again. There it is. Ok, got it on my nail.
What is this thing? Who knows. I need a magnifying glass. I don’t have one. Lemme put it up to my eye. Still can’t see. Hmmm.
I know, I know! It must be a bug! A thrip! (because thrips live in parsley). Assur gamur! lol!
Oh, it’s drying off. And shaking water off it’s tiny body. And starting to crawl around on my nail. Hey wife, look at this tiny bug on my nail crawling around. Eeeew Popa, get rid of it! Ok.
So I put it back in more soapy water, and agitate, and wash, and agitate, and wash, etc. And then try again. This time really actually clean.
And put it in the soup.
Look on google maps. Try looking on 95 near West Greenwich, CT.
Do you say Tefilas Haderech between Washington and Boston, since you have to pass through an uninhabited area, and the area is almost 100% built-up in the middle.
It isn’t built up by a long shot. Look at google maps
Yes, unless it is from brooklyn to lakewood
I don’t find it disgusting at all. Maybe you can explain it to me.
Fine, I’ll share. I don’t mind.

And what is wrong with the places our avos lived? If meah shearim was good enough for Yitzchok, is it not good enough for you?
“Rampant inflation due to printing money to fund the debt”
That has not happened.
In the ten years after the Iraq war, consumer prices increased 26%.
In the ten years prior to the Iraq war, consumer prices increased 28%.
Science is so wonderful, you can get such wholesome returns of conjecture with such a limited investment of fact. (paraphrased from Mark Twain)
1. What is the inflation rate historically?
2. Might there have been other inflationary pressure during those previous 10 years which was removed?
You can’t just go making conclusions on two pieces of data. It isn’t much better than the poster you are responding to who only had one piece.
GAW: have you done that?
