Not all sems are equal.
Yes, there are important considerations, like which is closer to the dining room. http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/bnos-sara-vs-bnos-chava#post-157290
You can get them under the bridge. The one guarded by the troll that is.
I guard the Willis ave bridge, bec it’s my secret way out of the city to the bronx without a toll.
no. It’s stupid.
But if you are going to be bothered that other people will think you should have, then you should.
I have literally never met someone who was happy they had gone to sem, more than 5 years later.
When I was first came to the yeshiva there was an altah bochur who decided one year to set up a “pool” for sefirah, where everybody put in money and whoever finished split the money.
So we figured it was a good way to make sure we finished, so why not. So we all bought in, and then he spent the rest of sfirah sabotaging everyone. He would change the sign in the beis medrash like 5 times a day, and nobody would remember what day it was, and one day he was the chazzan and he davka said the wrong day so that everyone would be tricked, and many more tricks that I don’t want to say in case I ever decide pull them on you.
Well charlie, I bet you weren’t expecting 7 responses to your question.
I thought you were talking about the comic strip, and wondered why charlie would have responded to that.
Charlie: Assuming you are responding to my story, I’m guessing his concern was that once the accident happened, the minhag would say to not eat the food that accident happened to. But in any event, we probably shouldn’t make diyukim off a random anonymous shaila asker from 100 years ago.
My Rav Pam hagada had a story about his grandfather who was the Av beis din in shidlitz. He personally ate gebrokts, but many in his town were chassidish so they didn’t.
Out of respect for them, he would only eat his gebrokts privately and not when people were around. This was in contrast to the previous av beis din who would display kneidlach in his windows to show that the minhag was in his opinion wrong.
Well, one seder night, a man knocked at his door carrying a large wrapped up package, and said he had a shaila. So they went into the other room, and the man unwrapped layer after layer after layer until he pulled out a small piece of matza, and said that it had fallen into a large pot of food: is the food muttar.
So he told him that chometz is oser b’mashehu, but matza is not oser b’mashehu.
A shadchan told me that many boys do not want girls who are too slim. (Probably because he didn’t have anyone appropriate.)
He should tell them that they’ll gain weight when they have kids anyway.
But yes, your perception of his reasoning is correct.
We are all ensnared by what the media portrays as attractive and we buy into this sheker.
That is simply not true, as any man well knows. It’s as true to us, as it is true to you that childbirth is hard.
Chaimy: That is not the halacha. It does not matter if you can recognize pieces. It matters if you satisfy what the halacha says.
This has nothing to do with the shadchanim. This is like blaming the shadchanim for telling the boys that the girls want learners.
I’m not telling you to not complain about it, but complain to the correct address: the boys.
On an unrelated story, I once went on a first date and the girl was kinda heavy. I was furious at the shadchan for not telling me in advance.
The way I make it, I am certain it is mezonos maaseh kedeirah, and thus is mezonos no matter how many seudos you are koveah.
Recipe:
Take about 1 and a quarter hand matzos, and smoosh up in a pot.
Run hot water from your sink until very hot, then fill up the pot with it to cover the matzo.
Put on stove on high for about 15 seconds.
Drain the water and smoosh it all out of the matza. (You may need to run cold water in to cool it down so you can smoosh.
Add two eggs, kosher salt, and pepper, and mix mix mix.
Heat a cast iron skillet with several tablespoons of oil.
Dump the mush in, and spread out. Cook on medium low.
After a few minutes, pick up the piece with a wide spatula, and turn off the flame. Standing back, flip it over into the pan, splattering oil all over yourself.
Turn flame back on and cook on medium for a few more minutes.
Eat. Don’t put any cream cheese on. Throw the cream cheese at your sister in law (who by now is usually throwing dirty diapers at you because of various things you have been telling your nephew.)
Please provide the evidence or retract the comment.
Kol isha.
Hmm. This is a serious matter.
We used a leg of lamb. It tasted pretty good today too.
I’ll say something interesting.
I think there are reasonable viewpoints that the world is pshuto k’mashmao 5773 years old, and alternatively that it is billions of years old and there were billions of years before odom harishon in gan eden. And I don’t think either of those views are categorically wrong, even if I myself prefer the former.
But I do think that thinking it is impossible that it is 5773 years old is pretty much apikorsus.
Well, if they aren’t frum, then you already should be using mevushal wine because of their not being shomer shabbos, irrespective of their evolutionary beliefs.
You do realize this would make most of Klal Yisrael drinking yayin nesech.
so what. most of klal yisroel is mechalel shabbos, eats treif, etc.
When I first came to the yeshiva, there was an alter bochur who missed shachris, insisted on second dates, and wouldn’t date daughters of gioreses, and once told me you don’t need to worry about slippery slopes.
He used to say over in the name of the kotzker what is the bracha on pesach that we make with the most simcha and kavanna.
