ha my teacher used to tell us to hold our breath for 20 minutes so we wouldnt hiccup again!

Course it is. Nobody dare say it isnt!

STOP bashing nk!!!!!!! TBBA and shticky its not amusing.

sesame apparently

Men who make the corniest jokes ever and expect ppl to laugh and everyone laughs politely but really thinking omg!

True, i recently discovered the same thing myself, and felt really relieved, having always thought that muslims pray much more, turns out they dont. If 5 ten minute(even less)prayers is what they call official prayers, we do that all the time, we daven unofficially throughout the whole day. I think the 5 time a day prayer was to out-prayer the yiden, thats why they did it, but they can never manage to out-prayer us yiden.

There is a haircutting machine for men specially made that you can give yourself a haircut, i saw the advert of it.

and liquorice!

Its totally the opposite.

Its hard to reject everything youve known from childhood for what you know is the truth, but the fact is youve seen how empty and wrong it is and you know you are choosing something better.

On the other hand, people who have not been exposed find it hard not to be tempted by things they see that look like fun, and they want to try it. To be able to withstand those temptations, thinking you are probably missing out, but still holding back because you know Hashem wont be happy, is much more special.

Another point – most adults who live a frum lifestyle, do so by choice, not copycatting.

I was once helping out in a chassidish school, and the kids were talking about me in my face in yidish which they thought i dont understand. I was too amused to be insulted!! Later on a girl was trying to ask me something and didnt know the word in english so she said it out loud in yiddish hoping one of her classmates would translate it for her, and i had a huge smirk and translated the word for her haha ive never seen such a shocked bunch of girls it was really really funny!!

And lets not talk about bochurim drivers..

I know exactly what youre talking about, i watched it in a film presentation, and im telling you the whole story is totally made up by the zionists to make ppl hate and distrust the frum ppl.

The whole story from beggining to end does not make a drop of sense, it was a while ago that i watched it, so i dont remember the exact details, but its so made up.

How could they have made it into a movie if it wasnt fake? Not one frum person would have been willing to act in such a thing. It was set in monroe or somewhere like that, would a huge movie cam not have made the people go mad? They re-acted the whole thing? It doesnt make one drop of sense.

If you know the history of the jews of yemen, most of them emigrated in the operation magic carpet, orchastrated by the zionists, and when they got to israel, they shmad them all. That was the main immigration that they did, but even after, they continued trying to get all the rest of them to immigrate to israel/palestine. The satmar organisation saw what was happening, that these innocent yemenites were being fooled, and they set up their own organisation to get the yemenite jews out, but to emmigrate to frum communities in america and england. They told the yemenites how the zionists were really tricking them and wanted to take away their yidishkeit, and managed to help a lot of them escape the zionist clutches.

The zionists were mad about them, and they try their hardest to make the satmar org. look terrible.

This story is one of their fabricated lies to make ppl distrust them. Note that in the story, every time the yemenite family was feeling at the lowest, who steps in to help them? A zionist mizrachi jew(and i have a feeling he only put on a kippa for the sake of the show). It is so obviously a lie. Do you really believe it possible of any yidden to act the way they were portrayed? And which frum yemenite family, known for theyre tznius, would allow the wife to be publicly filmed? If you just open youre eyes, youll see what a bunch of trash this whole thing is, made up from beggining to end.

Awwwwwwwwwwww i WISH i was going back to sem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All you girls going MAKE THE MOST OF IT !!!!!!! Chap arein every sec!!!!Its the best best yr(s) of ur life ever!! Have tons of fun!!!

“for what skiaddict mentioned.” Ha now THAT is being superstitious!

“This shtus has to be removed from Yiddishkeit. This is nothing compared to the clowns who engage in lead pouring, and that is nothing compared to alternative medicine (which Rav Blumenkranz AH called A”Z and kishuf) and vitamin supplement scams. All of this garbage has to be purged from Klal Yisroel. “

Great bear you are talking such nonsense i dont know why nobody has told you that yet.

There are many more rabonim who give haskomos for lead pouring and alternative medicine, in fact many who practice it themselves on the side, than rabonim who hold that stepping over someone and other such “bubbermaisos” are against yidishkeit.

“Superstition = goyishe inyanim that crept into our world from the same neighbors who tormented us for centuries. Anyone who believes that stepping over a child retards growth needs to learn very basic human biology – or ask a frum doctor to explain that growth hormone cannot be affected by such an action. “

Tell me one goy that believes that stepping over a child causes him to stop growing.

I dont know whether i believe in it or not, but better safe than sorry why play around with something like this just because you want to prove a point?

Measles, mumps and chickenpox and flu i had, and polio is basically extint.

enlightenedjew – there is loads of evidence, i would post google links if i could -search youself, and my doctor relative has firsthand experience of many cases of really bad effects of vaccinations.

People should not blindly believe their doctors, who often have their own agenda, or else are being forced to go by the governments agenda.

Crazybrit that kalla is a friend of my sisters, and yes she is a very special girl. Feel so proud of being part of such a special nation!

Sam2- really, women have to make their own mezuman? Could you tell me where thats from, i would love to do it!

Thanx Zeeskite, i wanted to start a thread but wasnt sure..Aries i was waiting for ur posts and am really missing u please ignore the idiots, and post for those that apreciate and really want and need your posts! Please u dont know how much i love and think about what you write!

I totally understand this girl i feel the same way sometimes, but for me, i dont know if the same for her, i know the reason comes from too much exposure and thinking like the non jewish world, where ppl dont want to commit, and its easy to think that one would have a much easier and more fun life without being tied down to a husband and children, and all the responsibilities it brings, and the fact that u are not free to do wat u want and have fun in the same way u did wen u were single.

Looking from a secular viewpoint, which is what a lot of frum young ppl do whether u admit it or not, married life is totally not worth it, it feels like were wasting our young and best years, being married, and unable to party and have fun.

Obviously having fun in a wrong way, but thats not the point.

I dont know if this is the reason for the girl u are talking about, but if it is, and im sure there is some of that mixed in, what helps me is going to shiurim, reading english seforim by rabbis, and listening to real jewish music, basically trying to immerse myself in jewishness and then it helps you see the truth, but its hard.

Anyway all im saying is that its normal, and all you can do is try to inspire her with yidishkeit, and talk to her on a deep level etc.. I hope im making sense..

Yeah u might be right, but i mean not any random gift certificate, i dunno i just dont think thats personal, i guess youve got to know ur friends..

How about a cute cosmetics case with their name on?
