    Not uriso, or uraáyaso, but veraáyaso.
    Curious as to how you were pronouncing it, though.
    On another note, if I am not mistaken the women-folk on Rav Moshe Feinstein’s wedding invitation were named and not “vera’ayaso”-ed.

    Mazal tov on your upcoming wedding!!! You must be very busy, especially considering that you are expecting you second baby. Are you due before or after the wedding? Oh, and does your kallah know about this?

    Mazel Tov!

    Note to public: try not to feed the trolls.

    Daven for them, Lamed Vov.

    What kind of gritty? Just remember to remove the kid from the clothing before you put them in the washing machine.

    Well, I thought that advice was at least a little practical, considering the minor chemistry lesson about perming and its possible adverse effects.

    Yup, just work on the pnimius- that’s all that counts.

    Ha, nah, not really. But don’t rain in on my mussar shmooze parade, I was having fun. Really.

    But tachlis I still think that its worth working on self appreciation as well as anything else you may choose to work on.

    Don’t drink the redox chemicals, in any case. But than again, that’s just friendly advice.

    Short term reasons not to perm:

    Perming hair, explained very simply, is a way of breaking the di-sulphide bonds in the hair and then recreating new ones in a way that keeps the hair in a new position, ie. in the shape of curls. The results may be what you wish for: permanently curly hair, however this does not mean that you hair will be perfect. The redox chemicals used on the hair during the process often weaken the hair, and other side effects may even include loss of hair.

    It is understandable that you may want to change something about your appearance, but there is more than one way to look “nice”, and sometimes showing respect to yourself and appreciating the way that you are could effectively boost your self esteem and make you feel better about the way you look. Who am I to judge, but I have the notion that -especially if you are looking for a husband- you may find that many people, including men, will respect you and give you the attention that you want if you respect yourself and do not feel that you have to bend (or curl?) to social norms in order to feel valid.

    Perhaps try to appreciate yourself for what you have and what you are good at. Improving externalities isn’t always bad, but there are other things out there too.

    Bracha and Hatzlacha!

    Learn torah. Work on your middos. Do some chessed, raise yourself up above what you are now, be creative, grow yourself. Do a ????? ????.

    Maybe ask yourself why you aren’t utilizing the time that ???”? gives you…

    I second Interjection’s idea. Just be careful not to go into any structures that look like they could be on the way to falling. Amd check out the general safey – maybe take a male with you.

    It could also be an experience to walk along the light-rail tracks (from around he tanchana area) all the way to the ????. There’s usually a great atmosphere on ???”?.

    The Israel Museum is another idea.

    in reply to: Seminary vs Sherut Leumi #1037385

    Sherut Leumi is not compulsory for religious girls, on the contrary, it is done on a voluntary basis.

    (Or… A general noble feeling of obligation to the country etc etc etc)

    In addition, if a girl were to be dissatisfied with her placement, she would be entitled and able to move to a different place to do sherut leumi, or to even pull out altogether. For this reason there are those today who see sherut leumi as a viable option for their daughters, and not as such a halachik problem as in the past, perhaps. I would however be concerned-or at least cautious- about sending my daughter to sherut leumi, but for other reasons, namely issues/dangers that exist in this area. It is not uncommon to hear of disturbing stories concerning sheut leumi too. This is aside from the spiritual and religious aspect of the story, and the dangers that such excursions pose.

    Use some seichel- do not be naive about sending your children off to places of dubious standard and safety, be this sherut leumi or seminary. Yet do remember that there is a lot of good that your daughter could learn in seminary, or achieve in the world in general, and prohibiting and permitting must each come in their correct time and place.

    Rebbe Dovid-

    As you are growing up, I hope that you will endevour to learn the importance of maintaining healthy relationships through dialogue and mutual understanding. Before embarking on the journey of building a house, it may be advisable to become somewhat competent in the perek of interpersonal relationships and conflict management. There are numerous good books written about these subjects which you may find you can put to good use.

    Marriage is often about vatranut and very often about maturity. If you find it difficult to understand and deal with the fact that the girl you are dating differs in opinion on the subject of choice of family rav, and respect her need for you not to tell the latter about her opinion of him, thereby saving her face; or even to discuss this intelligibly and sensitively with the girl; one may advise that you learn more on the subject of marriage before trying it– indeed, perhaps it would be recommended that you find a new marriage coach.

    Best of luck
