I personally use a Remington R-800. It’s Kosher right out of the box. Very satisfied with it.
It’s certainly an acceptable form of “hochaiach tocheach.” I am always grateful when it’s done for me. However, I do agree with The Wolf regarding the correct procedure. And, of course, not to do so verbally at a point when being mafsik is not allowed.
I have to agree with This name is already taken. I never could stand the noise and incomprehensible screaming. Seems like it’s a cover-up for a lack of real talent. Sorry, Burnt Steak.
Rav Moshe has a p’sak on this.
“Like Moshe Rabbeniu and Avraham Avinu you will get nothing but trouble for your efforts.”
But that’s in pretty good company!
Do you ever listen to those ridiculous sports radio stations? They can go on and on for what seems an eternity to discuss what WOULD happen if so and so played for this team or if so and so pitched better…
LevAryeh, you’re correct. It is so theoretical and hypothetical and it doesn’t make the slightest difference in the grand scheme of things — both as frum Jews and even non-Jews.
P.S. Love your videos!
I don’t quite understand. If you are crossing in front of the car, then that means that the driver did yield to you the right of way.
This premise is so against everything which Torah-true Yiddishkeit stands for. What would Rav Avigdor Miller, zt”l say?
What finally happened to the girl – Is she still on the floor or was she able to get up by herself?
“A Taste of Torah” was an intriguing, solidly produced radio show some 25 years ago on WEVD. I still listen to the tapes of it. It should be brought back.
“Tell Me Why” by The Beatles.
Popa: What if I’m “homless”?
Thank you and Yasher Koach, Curiosity. I couldn’t agree with you more. It shows a disregard for anyone else’s tefilah and is extremely inconsiderate.
In addition, I started a thread two years ago listing several other pet peeves of mine which take place in shul. It is:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/shul-etiquette
1) Relaxing Shabbosos
2) Less daily pressure
3) Numerous, tasty summer fruit
4) The “Q”
5) PARKING in Brooklyn!!!
Art Raymond was a non-frum, limited knowledge of Yiddishkeit, “disc jockey.” He many times got caught saying ridiculous things, quite often insulting the frum listeners’ sensitivities. When Zalman Umlas came along on WFMU (before Nachum Segal who pales in comparison), Jewish radio was highly amateurish. Zalman Umlas “professionalized” Jewish morning radio well beyond Art Raymond.
Art Raymond is very much still around. View him on You Tube (but don’t tell anyone that you did!)
I’m sure you mean WEVD.
How do you expect someone to contact you through The Coffee Room? It’s just not set up that way.
Hi there, my long, lost cousin!!
Eruvin is certainly not one of the easier masechtos – but it was definitely worth the effort!
Derech HaMelech has it correct according to Rav Moshe Feinstein, ZT”L. But not necessarily “out loud”, just those things which need a Minyan should be said Sephard.
I think Jackie Mason might be Jewish, though I’m not sure.
1) Answering or speaking on a phone call via speakerphone – very inconsiderate.
2) A business answering a phone with “Hello” and not identifying the name of the business.
3) When passing someone on the sidewalk and the person would rather look down at the pavement instead of saying “Good Morning”, “Hello”, etc.
Interesting how so many of the annoying things listed have to do with the telephone or cellphone.
The tznius level in Flatbush has plummeted recently, lo aleinu.
The correct term is “counterfeit” not “forged.”
Sounds like every chasunah I’ve been to.
I was born and raised in New York and I find the “minhag” (for lack of a better word) repulsive. The Kallah is kept on the other side of the mechitzah throughout the wedding in a majority of these types of chasunahs and all of a sudden she is put in front of the crowd for all to see and (almost) dance with – gartel notwithstanding. I, too, don’t see how this could be considered tzanuah.
Besides the tircha of holding back the mishpacha and extra hour to 90 minutes, the only ones who seem to enjoy it is the badchan (raking in the cash by the hour) and the musician (the same applies).
I’m sure you realize by now that I’m a Misnaged (and proud of it) but I personally do not remain behind (even for mishpacha) for the “Mitzvah Tanz.” Is it really a “Mitzvah”? Does anyone know the source of such a practice?
To, Torah613Torah:
What isn’t?
Beatles, Beatles, Beatles.
I’m amazed at how helpful everyone in the Coffee Room is. Kol Hakavod.
What I meant was why was the topic of the Aseifa kept secret? Are they afraid that if they advertise it as a “Tznius Aseifa” ladies won’t show? Why make people shlep over just to possibly disappoint them with “yet another Aseifa on Tznius”? Let the women know beforehand!
Why is it such a huge secret? If they have something to say, let them advertise it so they can draw a crowd.
How important is this (or any sports event) in the “big scheme” of things?
I find it to be highly untzniusdik. As if to say, “Everybody look at what I’m wearing.” Goyishe tramps wear them to also attract attention.
Another vote for Town Appliances in Lakewood. Least expensive and most helpful by far.
I’m for Romney as probably an overwhelming majority of YWN readers are. Please don’t say neither – our Gedolim have paskened that it is Chiyuv to vote.
I’m not sure I totally understand your rant. What is a “cut in the sidewalk” to which you’re referring? And I agree with The Wolf – please keep your voice down.
I though this was a well-known fact — didn’t even need to state it.
As Brooklyn, in general, is less expensive than Five Towns / Queens shopping.
You’re still one of the most entertaining, humorous posters in The Coffee Room.
In which shtieble were they “preying”? I hope they made up the minyan.
