on the ball- Yaakov, Moshe, and Dovid
Lag Bomer used to be exciting. But ever since I spent a Lag Bomer in Eretz Yisroel it doesn’t really excite me. Very sad but true.
false
you were a staff kid in your school
on 9/11 I was in 7th grade and I remember my teachers trying not to cry and then we had an assembly where our principal told us.
I was in the airport dropping off a family member when I saw on the tv screens that osama was killed and then right after my sister texted me.
moishy- I don’t like cherries but sure
sure no problem
lkwdfellow the words are now posted on the lyrics for thread
ok ok!
et hahatan o sefardi
Kalah noeh ashkenazi
rachel imenu o sefardi
mama rochel ashkenazi
baba sali o sefardi
rabbi nachman ashkenazi
shetehi lemazal o sefardi
im yirtzeh Hashem ba dir ashkenazi
Chorus which you can figure out yourself
gina gina o sefardi
oid yeshoma ashkenazi
yossi avi o sefardi
yom yashmini ashkenazi
moadim l’simcha o sefardi
a gut yom tov ashkenazi
shetehi lemazal o sefardi
im yirtzeh Hashem ba dir ashkenazi
and then the chorus!
Yolk- I know those too but I have no patience now. Maybe later.
Well my friend and I listened to that song over and over until we both figured out the words. And now we know it.

I’m special cuz I’m a yid. I take the train to and from work every day and I come home saying the same thing. I’m so special because I’m a yid.
pet peeve- I guess you are right. I don’t know how they feel.
Of course we have daily newspapers….but not the Hamodia!
ok maybe I don’t have the same problem as taller girls but still I think that other things are more important
I’m too young for this but I really hope some people in my family resolve their fight that has been pulling us all apart for years.
4. Memories
dunno the others
I think the whole height issue is strange. Who cares about height? Does he have middos? Is he what you are looking for in a husband? ok then go out with him. who cares how tall he is. Im 5 feet and the shadchanim always say well do you care if he is 5’6 or 6 feet. I say I don’t care because someone’s height you can get over, but if a boy doesn’t have middos then that is a problem. Sometimes it bothers me in which order the questions are asked. I think we lost sight of what’s important.
Be happy you can go and buy the daily edition while us out of town only get the Shabbos edition. Enjoy!
bad hair day
1 Marvelous middos machine- teshuva song
3 Rabbi Alter- aish song
I think there is some truth to that. My grandmother always says how scary it is that I have the same personality as her mother, who I was named after.
Chicago has a nice Lubab community and its a nice place to live. You should check it out!
Our sanitation workers are amazing. I live out of town and when we have snow, it’s usually cleared quickly. I remember when I was in school we hardly ever had snow days even when it snowed a lot. If Bais Yaakov closed then you knew that there was a major blizzard.
midwest- Seriously! I always ask my brother in law why he is wearing a flying saucer on his head! The brims are really huge!
I would be a little boy who doesn’t care about getting his pants dirty and ripped. I actually thought about this when I taught 2nd grade boys for 2 years. They seem so carefree and just look like they are having a good time. I would also really like to have that innocence again.
I never understood why boys open doors for girls on dates. So I decided to ask my date once. He got all flustered and he said well I don’t know. That is what they tell us to do. So then I said well do you always do what “they” tell you to do. It was really funny because he was getting all nervous and I was so chilled. Anyway yea I don’t get it. I mean if you are gonna open the door for her when she is your wife then ok.
I know this is a brim thread but I wondering if we can talk about tzitzis. I always wondered if the way a boy wears his tzitzis says something about him. I don’t have any brothers so I have no idea about these things. Like under the belt type or very messy type or other types….
When people don’t know when they have the right of way while driving. Like when they stop when they don’t have a stop sign.
When people call me sweetie when they are probably like a year older than me (cuz I look really young).
When boys think that things are coming to them, like that their fathers-in-law should support them.
Well really I’m a boy who went to Brisk!
My parents had to name me a name that was not common at the time (now it is) so they added a name so that in case I didnt like the first name I can be called the second name. Happens to be that I love my first name and don’t really like my second- more normal name. So you never know.
Old Williamsburg is good though its not scotch
Chulent!!!
I taught swimming lessons for two years and let me tell you squeak, that’s not the way to do it! You made me laugh though…
brisker- Yes I do. I know very well. Sheesh why can’t you take a joke?
WellInformed- Leave him alone….he is a brisker… what do you want?
It’s Thursday night must be……..chulent!!!
Mod80- Thanks so much! I was looking all over for them!
Twerpz, but they stopped making them. Chulent! Could eat it any day!
brisker- you make me laugh. And yes I agree that chulent is the best any day!
sac- ouch! You obviously didn’t taste good chulent. Come on over to my house and get some real good stuff!
brisker- wow it was a joke! dont be such a brisker. anyway there was a whole thread a while ago about how to spell chulent and about eating chulent and all that stuff. Of course you can spell yiddish any way you want.
BP- I used to always say choolent and then one day I switched to chuhlent. we are litvish but have chasidish roots so I dont know where it comes from.
It doesnt matter how you spell it as long as you make it well.
And I’m actually eating some very good chulent now with some very good potato kugel.
Here we go again!
brisker- it’s spelled Chulent
sacrilege- I don’t understand how you can say such a thing! Shabbos food is the BEST!
What?
I’m not talking about rumors. I’ve been to New York more times than I can count and I have many relatives there. They don’t even know their neighbors. And no I don’t have strange relatives. I’ve been with New Yorkers in camp and sem and this is the impression I get.
I’m not denying that the New York community is big. Some people have to realize that there is something good about not being so big too. People actually know you and there is warmth in the community and people actually care about each other.
And what about all the New Yorkers who moved out of New York? They must have also seen something compelling about it.
Sorry I can’t agree
Being that I am a proud out of towner I can’t agree with this thread. Sorry. I feel that out of towners are less rude and actually give people the time of day. We don’t feel like we are in a race and we don’t feel the need to beep our horns if the person in front of us doesn’t cross the intersection exactly when the light turns green. I thank my parents every day for moving out of New York and I hope to raise my children here as well. I have heard a few times where an in town boy is looking for an out of town girl because “out of towners are known for middos.” (quote from a shadchan)
I’m not saying that New Yorkers are horrible. Chas vshalom. I know many New Yorkers that are wonderful people with fine middos. But I’m just saying that even thought New York has maalos there are many reasons why its’s not the best!
I love the song Hakadosh Baruch Hu. It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
d a- I happened to like it. sorry if you didnt.
