There was an article some time ago stating that E cigarettes are worse then regular cigarettes. Wether that is true or not I don’t know – and cannot find an additional source at this time. ( doesn’t make sense to me though)
I don’t think teenagers are spending their day/ evening reading this – so that shouldn’t be a problem. And I am sure whoever started this thread is aware of the repercussions.
But if you are out here Jewish Thinker is right. Smoking may seem the ‘Cool’ thing to do. Its really not worth it. 8 years later I am trying to quit and have been for some time now – and its really hard. and [stinks] edited
Sushi bagel i don’t know hechserim but I really hope this works for you. If not they have Chantax which at this point your insurance should cover it. Side affects includes and not limited to Nausea. But it seems to have helped a lot of people.
Good luck!
@ boruch schwartz
seems like you werent paying attention in math class because obviously you dont know how to count
anyways I too just came upon this thread and big whoop,
PUHLEZE.
Lakewood was once that.
So was other places .
We need to surround ourselves in good. we should not be basing our lives from what other people are doing/ dressing/ acting.
FIRStly MAZEL TOV!
It will be tough at times.. and it will get better!
May you and your hubby ( to be) live a happy life together til 120
AZ:
Well put.
AZ –
It CAN be the same – regarding Dr. , Lawyer , plumber, ect.
Maybe in my mind having to make a whole wedding ( fancy or not still can cost an arm and a leg )
That ‘Set price’ its just can be a burden to the family. ( like you said ) and thats actually a good Idea if it can work
I guess shadchans are underestimated .
also. could be from what I have heard over the years about shadchanim and the way they work I could be biased.
okay but let me ask you if your child were to get engaged you can easily shell out 5K?
also what about being paid in the next world? does that not mean anything anymore?
das Yochid ..
its called peoples opinions
I never realized that acc. to halacha you have to pay the shadchan.
quite frankly I was involved in someones shidduch recently and didnt realize how much work it is.
but I dont expect 1000.00 from each side. its nice. but thats not the reason why to make a shidduch. If its all about the cash – how do you know that the shadchan is doing everything to make sure that this potential marriage goes smoothly.- that e/t is ‘according to the books’
will they listen if you asked them to respectfully back off?
I am not saying you should break all contact.. but if they are doing this to you y hang out with them? yes they are family but why be around people who don’t respect you for you
These days people are crazy about keeping tradition and want their children to marry a learning boy. Its not the girls fault thats how they were raised.
so if your gonna be marrying a kollel boy and the wife will be working full time and taking care of a handful of children.. then money will be a plus. it will be helpful to the craziness, but to marry because he / she is stam rich. then no
There is a nice resort in mount vernon NJ
Minerals.
its about 1 and half hours from NYC
I am more religious than my sister, and I had to deal with with her shinanigans like ” what you don’t wanna go out?” – even though it was shabbat..
eventually she gave up .Just as annoying as it is Keep your ground.
Don’t be ashamed about it! Be proud that you are religious!
In my teenage years, I was also one of those OTD teenagers. Firstly having the most amazing people take me in under their wing that was a life savior for me. ( No I was not some junkie off the street)
“Tatty” was always calm about the situation whatever it was. Never bashed me for doing x,y,z. Instead well I knew he disapproved.. but always showed me love, & was understanding Never forced me anything.
“Mommy” pretty much the same- she would sometimes make comments bout tzniut or sm things like that.. yes as a teenager it annoyed me to some degree. but I am thankful now. ( I still get those comments here and there today! thats just the was she is)
Also My Boyfriend at the time same thing. – and those who pick out at every word and make an issue out of it.. no, im not saying oh so let them find a boy/ girl friend.
My point is I agree with many of the comments above that you need to show unconditional love, show them the beauty of Judaism- don’t get up in their face. They are more likely to return
in what way are you different then your relatives? More religious ? less?
(based on this I can answer your post { to what I consider} properly
I Only read the beginning and end of the comments but firstly you cannot look at someone weird and expect them to all of the sudden dress that way. If they feel uncomfortable enough they may dress more appropriately. ( I know when I go to the shul my in-laws daven at I make sure to dress more appropriately then I generally would. MAYBE asking the Rebbitzin to talk to the women will work. There is no need for you to switch shuls .. just dont look! Anyways shul is not a place to mingle… so there should be no reason this issue should come up
i play on shabbos and yom tov . I personally think there is nothing wrong with it.
“the wolf”
I was not saying it is right or wrong. just saying
and I didnt mean to put it in all caps
MY FATHER DOESN’T PLAY MONEY GAMES ON SHABBOS AND YOM TOV EITHER.
