The phones themselves are more expensive than the non kosher ones, but you can buy a kosher one without a stamp as someone mentioned above.
I have a kosher unlimited to the US and in Israel phone from Orange. I pay 75 shekel a month (aprox. 20 dollars). I think that’s a far cry from expensive. Definitely cheaper than the not kosher.
Quirel was the DADA teacher beforehand. However, the job was only cursed starting Harry’s first year at Hogwarts, which is when Voldemort tried to get the job
Try Pomegranate in Flatbush on a Motzai Shabbos – they make their bagels by boiling them first
Hi!
Firstly, I’m sorry to hear that your mom needs to go through this now.
I know of a few people who wear synthetics. They do have easy maintenance. However, they are the ones that look most like wigs. I have never yet seen a natural looking synthetic wig.
If you want a really natural look, what they can often do to a wig is sew the hair in the front in backwards (from the inside of the net in the front as opposed to just from the outer side). What this accomplishes, is that the hair now seems to be coming directly from the scalp, instead of from the net. Ask whoever you go to about this option,as it can create the most natural appearance possible.
Good luck!
May she have a speedy recovery!

listen to any of rabbi daniel mechanic’s speeches – he has some really great answers (most of his speeches that are posted online are really the same points so one is enough) it should give you answers to give them and ways to disprove their theories
I think that kids disturbing a teachers wedding is relative to the age; if they are young they dont belong at the wedding at all, and if they really want to come let them come for kabalas ponim only. However, if they are a little older, then I dont see anything wrong with them wishing the teacher mazel tov; I would probably even say they should out of hakaras hatov.
In addition, I think what shteltzoo said depends on the teacher. Most teachers in todays day and age do not really care on a personal level. However, there are more than enough teachers out there who do care on a personal level and would go out of their way day or night to help a student. I dont think you can make a blanket statement in either direction
check out the ny times website…
I dont plan on dumping my computer but after reading some of their material and hearing 2 of the speeches, I installed a filter and am thinking of setting up a check-up system…

If a man has smicha he is a Rabbi. If he is a Rabbi the proper title for his wife is Rebbetzin
I believe that the title Rebbetzin means that someone is the wife of a Rabbi, regardless of what type of person they are, just as the title queen is someone who is the wife of a king, regardless of what type the person is. However, just as someone with royal blood understands that there are certain behaviors standard in this position, so too, someon with the title Rebbetzin needs to understand that there are certain behaviors that should go together with the title. Unfortunately, just as you cannot remove the title queen from a queen who had a nervous breakdown and is not behaving properly, you cannot remove the title Reb. from the wife of a Rabbi who is simply not acting like the picture of a Reb. that majority of the world seems to have conjured in their minds. Abusing the system and calling too many people Reb. is what is taking away the proper meaning of the word, and the need to conduct oneself accordingly, in my opinion.
the young ones usually didnt allow it. We had one teacher in her 30s – when someone spoke to her in third person i.e. did reb. r. say ______ or _______ – she would say Yes, whoever that is… or s/t to that effect… or she would simply protest and say my name is not reb.
none of our teachers complained about the fact that they were called by just last names. As a matter of a fact, they would refer to themselves, and to other teachers, without a title.
oneofmany: i thought that was just in brooklyn!! but yeah, we had to call all of our high school teachers rebbetzin which was pretty pathetic because it took too long to say rebbetzin and then a last name so we used to drop the rebbetzin and just call them by their last names. Another problem with the system was that I kind of lost respect for the title rebbetzin after a single teacher of mine got married and went from being Miss K. to Reb. B.
You are not Rebbetzin unless your husband has smicha.
I would imagine that life changes after every child – not just a tenth… but congratulations
A lady married to a rabbi is a rebbetzin. It does not give her authority to do anything other than ASK HER HUSBAND…. but she is representing her husbands values so she needs to look the part
I myself did it and know plenty of others too. Firstly, pots, pans and dishes can and should be purchased in Israel – Israeli’s cook and eat with utensils too. Second of all, pay the extra $70 for both yourself and your husband and take 2 suitcases each – think of it as the plane ticket having cost you $70 more. Third of all pillows and blankets are sold in Israel too – you only need your actual linen sets. Forth of all, find out if you know anyone else going and taking only one suitcase – pay them $70 to take a second one for you. You’ll probably need between 7-8 suitcases all together so try to find 3-4 people going before you who can do this favor for you. Good luck
Teachers need to be very careful with what they say in front of a classroom. I had a twelfth grade teacher who responded to an innocent question – one asking her to explain what she just taught; not a random hashkafa question – with the statement “by asking that question, you effectively took your twelve years of education and through it out the window”. Although the answer did not cause such an adverse effect on me, I still remember the answer, and know that I refused to raise my hand to ask ANY questions from that point on. If questions are encouraged, and practices explained, it would very possibly help.
HKBH does not want fighting… and it is not the brothers who are doing the fighting. It is a few of their more hot-headed chassidim. There are plenty that don’t fight and plenty that leave at the start of a fight. Please do not hold it against any of these rebbes…
what is the status of a child born to a mother who concieved from her husband while she was nidda?
Personally, my husband and father both do not use shabbos elevators so I don’t. However the Poskim in Eretz Yisroel came out with a Psak for the Israeli Shabbos elevators: you may use them going up as the weight in the elevator does not effect anything. However, it is assur to use them going down as the extra weight combined with gravity does make it use less electricity. This is the psak only for elevators in Eretz Yisroel, as far as i know. Many people that I know will put a baby carriage into the elevator and then use the steps and meet the carriage upstairs…

There is a difference in practical halacha though…
A person is required to bless in both situations but: if it is a good situation – the person is required to say ???? ???? ?????? – acknowledging that it is good. If it is a situation which to the human eye seems bad, saying ???? ?????? would be hypocritical. Therefore, a person is required to say ???? ??? ???? – admitting that it is Hashem’s will and that it must be the righteous thing – but not pretending that you’re thrilled with it.
Before I got married, I used to get dressed up like a chassidish married lady…. tons of make-up, wig, hat… to a/o on the street – i was a reg. married lady but to a/o who knew me – it was hysterical.
In hadar, you need to learn: Bereishis, Shmos, Devarim, Yehoshua, Shoftim, Shmuel alef, 1/2 of Shmuel Beis, and Melachim Alef on ur own…. but it’s really yeshivish…
The shulchan aruch writes in one place not to eat milk and fish together. Everyone agrees that this is a mistake and it was meant to say milk and meat. However, those who don’t eat it feel that a mistake from the mechaber is still something that should be followed/kept because he was mechaber with rh”k.
I know of a family that moved here, had all their kids here, some of their kids are married, and none of them are israeli citizens. They renew student visas every 2/3 years (i’m not sure how often it has to be done but they’re all on student visas)
I think the kids were prepped to say they dont know anything; give me a break… they probably know about mickey mouse and have used cell phones – although they might not have their own.
I also think that the show classifies all frum jews as hasidic – many non-jewish shows tend to do that – they dont differentiate between chassidish and litvish – just between ultra orthodox and mo – and the uo are called hasidic…
The wolf: what tune to sing is not a minhag – be my guest and change to a new tune every year…
I don’t think the wolf really believes that he is bad and going to gehenom for his actions. If you look at what he’s writing, the examples are usually a bit off target, exaggerations, and things that many people do. In addition, most of the time, it’s obviously not an aveira – just his way of putting things down. I guess he finds it humorous/cute. I don’t and apparently there are others who agree with me; however, let him post in his own style to his heart’s content… what does it bother anyone? I read what he writes, roll my eyes, and move on with life…
shir hashirim does not explicitly mention hkb”h’s name either
what happened?
