I feel that the bakery challah is always fluffier. Homemade is too heavy.
I’ve tried 2 different homemade hummus recipes, and for the cost of the ingredients, you can buy the real stuff for a lot cheaper. And it tastes better. Chummus and challah are two things I leave to the professionals.
The Torah also doesn’t talk about the western hemisphere or Australia. Do these things not exist?
The coffee room is all the coffee I can handle. I stick with the caffeine pills.
Lesschumras- Many MO shuls have gone dry for this very reason.
MCP- Very true. Those that are worried about bitul zman or gedolei Yisrael not participating in sports need to realize that the CR is not something that gedolei Yisrael would do either. But, another point, I don’t think that something can be more or less assur. Perhaps the punishment for a given action from beis din can be more or less severe, but ultimately, something that is forbidden is forbidden
Obviously, shnitzy, you are not up on current affairs. Are you aware of the numbers of Rabbonim and Gedolei Yisrael who have banned the internet? And guess where this coffee room is held? Over the internet.
MCP, the coffee room is most probably assur (based on what is today’s halacha), as are sports.
I play golf. Have been playing for about 7 years and played while I was in college for the school’s team. If someone is looking for a fun sport that is a real challenge, this would be my top recommendation.
If anyone sends their GPS to this person, I am sure they will be able to repurchase it on ebay the week after lag ba’omer.
Just like everything on this website, it would be moderated, so all sickos will obviously be weeded out.
Ari free…No one is trying to think for anybody. I am simply expressing my opinion and allowing others to respond. Not to different from what you and I are engaging in at this moment.
Yiddishemeidle…I totally agree. But doesn’t that bother you? That you can only express your true opinions on an internet forum? Wouldn’t it be great to, in person, speak you opinion, to your family, friends and community with no fear of being ostracized?
Papa…I always get a laugh from you. You are great
But, you are correct. Nobody can be judged on an internet forum. Perhaps that is why we all come here. A step away from our regular lives.
The reason I ask is because the quote you responded to me with was clearly from the rasha portion of the hagaddah. So I am only inferring. I need to work on being dan lekaf zechus.
Are you calling me a rasha?
I once saw someone with a TV screen built into a steering wheel of a car. Not sure how that works.
Once I really understood that 7 billion people are on this earth all looking for, more of less, the same thing. Not everyone can be happy… Luckily I was born with the predisposition of being an American-born Jew.
Perhaps. But you are pretty quick to judge that my handle has anything to do with my hashkafa…
A good portion of folks are here to do as I said in my first post, though.
I’m here to see the narishkeit the frum community is up to next, straight from the source…Yeshiva World Coffee Room.
I once got a fake $20 bill out of an ATM. I thought the bank that I made the withdrawal from would certainly rectify the situation, but they did not. I was surprised that a fake bill was able to get through their system undetected.
I have never volunteered or have been apart of any Yachad program, but from what I have seen, I believe they integrate special needs children into programs geared toward mainstream children. I know that in some MO camps there are Yachad bunks.
People enjoy spending time (even over the internet) with others that they have something in common with. It is mainly because they fell validation for the way they are. It also reinforces ideas that one believes to be true to see that others hold those same beliefs.
I believe the Baal Hameor in Rosh Hashana discusses the “halachic international dateline” being 90 degrees of longitute from Jerusalem.
In today’s world, having a hechscher is more important that actually being kosher.
A friend of mine related a story to me that happened not too long ago (I believe he graduated two years ago, so he started law school 5 years ago). He as sitting in his first day at Columbia’s law school. To start the lecture on a lighter note, the professor asks if anybody has any interesting life story they would like to share. One student stands up and says that she was in Turin Italy and won a silver medal at the 2006 olympics. Another student says that he recently returned from Iraq where he was on his third tour of duty. A frum student in the back of the class stands up and says, “I never attended college.” The professor was confused. “How did you get accepted to school here? This is a very prestigious institution.” The frum student responds, “I learned in a religious school (ie. yeshiva) my whole life, took the LSAT and got a perfect score.” Later my friend found out that he got a BTL from a yeshiva somewhere in New Jersey.
So I guess it does happen.
Then I would suggest not spending Purim with folks who choose the latter option. They can really kill the buzz…
Is this kosher in CR? Talking and exchanging ideas about closed threads in others?
If you want to follow halacha, you need to drink and possibly get drunk. If you want to be a new-age idealist Jew, than you do not drink and ridicule others for doing so and acting like meshugenehs. Take your pick.
Mod 73 has a very reasonable take. He believes that people are free to make their own opinions on the matters posted. This website is just a forum to obtain information, not shape one’s opinion. I hope someone doesn’t shape his/her opinion on what is written here on YWN.
Angioedema and urticaria (aka, hives) can be caused by stress. So get rid of the rest of your problems and this issue will go away as well.
Controversial is a very relative term these days.
Grammar in one’s native language should not be a very difficult subject in school. Sure, there are names of grammatical concepts, (prepositions, interjections, etc) but if proper reading and speaking skills are developed, the proper following of grammar rules should follow almost naturally.
