HaLeiVi, I second Joseph’s motion!
Some of it, is the gas mains being replaced. The other is just regular construction, renovation etc. that’s been going on non-stop for the last 40 years or so.
I recall being in Boston once for Shabbos and it was pleasant not to see even one pebble of construction anywhere. However that’s not a sign of a growing community.Yabia: Is it possible that there is a chest of gold buried underneath your house? If there is, should everyone who doesn’t know about it refer to you as a millionaire?
Neville; Why do you think a party with 5% of the vote has more say than a larger party in a coalition government?
In the current Israeli coalition debacle, any party of 5 seats or larger would of had the same “say” had they decided to exercise it.๐ด
Yussel; Which other ages have you lived in that you can compare with?
Joseph; “shluach”? Now that raises an interesting question about your background.
It would seem that you are not a Yekke but rather of Polish, Hungarian, Romanian etc. descent and are assuming that shliach is pronounced by Yidden from other countries as shluach. Similar to shkuah instead of shkiah.
Or it could just be a mere typo as I just now noticed that the letter u is right next to the letter i. I guess I’m not such a professional typist.NCB; What is a “normal” Yeshiva?
By the way, in Lashon Hakodesh there is no word for normal!On that note was Chabad Shlucha also blocked or did her husband tell her it’s pointless to debate these dour snags?
Wow, RGP & Neville both agree on something! But you’re both wrong. Nobody switched from Hamodia to the Yated in America, since in the US, Hamodia began publishing ten years or so AFTER the Yated!
Joseph; Perhaps Rebecca is looking for the traditional Hilula bonfire as opposed to the modern day parade innovation?
Chosid; If you don’t know how to spell or type English you shouldn’t post. You come out saying the opposite of what you intend.
Mod-29: Oh, I hear.
YW Mod-29; Why would a mod add that?
What’s so bad about Rebbetzin Golden?RGP; I’m no Lubavicher, but an argument can be be made the other way. If a Yid does an aveira (Lo Saase) in this world he can get a kapara for it in the next. However if a Yid did not perform a Mitzvas Aseh in this world there is no way he can perform it in the next world!
TAS; what is the source of your Halacha?
What does on “hides” mean?Neville; Nice logic, however Rav Moshe Weiner wrote the sefer Hadras Ponim Zoken 40 or so years ago. If he actually wrote this new kuntres then your argument falls apart. If he didn’t write it them you may have a point.
I’m sure someone can verify if he wrote it.No such luck on this thread Dorah!
$20 for the average Yankel, $50 & up for Mizrach vant Yidden.
Thank you Rebbetzin Golden, I have a close male relative named Simcha and this issue has bothered me for some time.
I remember when he was a bochur, a shadchan with a sense of humor wanted to redt a shiduch for him with a Yemenite girl also named Simcha!When did this picture business start? I never saw a picture of a prospective shidduch before meeting.
For this you have to go further back in time to the era of the Chazon Ish who convinced Rav Yaakov Landa zt”l to become the Rav of Bnei Brak. Rav Yaakov was a chosid of the Rebbe Rashab of Lubavich. Rav Yaakov in his tzavaah wrote that Rav Moshe should replace him. At that time the Mayor of Bnei Brak, Moshe Irenstein was Chasidish and pushed through the Rabonus of Rav Moshe despite the opposition of the Litvishe tzibur. It is my understanding that Rav Moshe zt”l was not so involved with the last Lubavicher Rebbe until he visited New York in the early 80’s. Despite the opposition to his Rabonus, Rav Moshe harbored no ill feelings to those who opposed him. As a relative I know this firsthand.
Boruch Hashem there is now an agreement between the Litvish & Chasidish communities as to the future Rabonus of the city.Hong Kong
SingaporeActually in Morocco the Spanish Jews maintained separate kehillot for hundreds of years and didn’t intermarry with the original Moroccan Jews
Not Commenting; quasi is spelled this way, but pronounced the way you spelled it.
Whitecar; I doubt these scammers are Pakistani. They are usually Godless Pagan Indians not Muslim Pakis.
Usually when I get these calls I pretend I’m playing along until the part where they say; what do you see on your screen now? Then I say, it says Congratulations, you have been scammed!Another troll thread?
TT; Stop the nonsense, the nusach hakoleil is the nusach that the Anshei Kneses Hagedolah were mesaken. That is the basic nusach that all Yidden daven. The 12 nuschaos of the Shevatim were long lost to us. Even official Chabad seforim write this. They just claim that the nusach of the Ari is the most “perfect” or “original” version of it.
Here we go again!
NCB; well said. By the way, the mitzvah of drinking on Purim is with wine, not liqueur. I highly doubt all the horror stories came from excessive wine drinking.
Rebbetzin Goldpick…; So you are MO yourself, apparently.
Well every 28 years we say Birchas Hachamah which sets of all those battles over who will lead the largest assemblage.
Happy Chodesh Adar!What is a Tom Sawyer party?
I hope mik5 wasn’t waiting over 7 years for the answers to his shailos!
Both this thread and the other one (link posted by ravnhw) either began in February or most of the posts are from February, Chodesh Adar! Resulting in a lot of Purim Torah especially on the other thread.
In all seriousness, Hagaon Rav Yaakov Hillel shlita says that when a ” Mekubal” comes to town, the first thing to do it to be mechabed him to say a shiur on a sugya in Gemara i.e. Nigleh! If he passes the nigleh test, (which the fakers usually cannot) then we’ll see about the mekubal part. If they ask distraught people for obscene amounts of money or deeds to property that’s a dead giveaway right there. Unfortunately some people are so distant from real Rabonim, Tzadikim etc. that they don’t recognize this obvious charlatanism.The Igros Moshe refers to non cholov yisroel milk as cholov ha”companies”.
Whitecar; Today’s spelling lesson; A gaudy Mishloach Manos that outrages some CR posters might be outrageous!
DovidBT; Does the neshoma that one davens at the amud for “score more points with Hashem” than if one would just daven in one’s seat?
What are all of you talking about? You all have Ruach Hakodesh. At least all of you that say Selichos. You all say “ืืจืื ืงืืฉื ืื ืชืงื ืืื ื”!
Klugeryid; How old is the “child”?
Some aitzos; Encourage an earlier bedtime if necessary. Pull child out of bed if he/she doesn’t get up after specified number of minutes.
If child is depressed seek professional help.Anyone notice that a certain thread just vanished into thin air recently?
KatanHadorah; Thanks for the comical grandmother on the rocking chair finger wagging no drinking speech. That’ll really scare the silly teenagers out of their mindlessness.
Haimy; No need to wait, the Rema writes clearly in the last siman of Orach Chaim, “vetov lev misheh tomid”.
The purpose of a mechitza is to avoid kalus rosh between the genders. I haven’t seen that happening and even if it happened to a mild extent since posters can’t contact one another directly it shouldn’t be a problem. Unless it causes people to pursue kalus rosh in real life then it may be of concern.
CTL; Thank you for the detailed response. It’s not necessarily how I would have imagined it. It does seem like a mixed bag though.
CTL; If you have had personal contact with your trust fund clients, how would you rate their character vs. self made clients of similar socio-economic status?
CTL; Thanks for caring. I too support the philosophy of; from each according to his means, to each according to his needs.
ZD, go ahead. In which communities do tax evaders, child molestors or people stealing government benefits like Medicaid or section 8 parade their crimes in public?
CTL; Sounds very interesting. How do you and Mrs. CTL balance your work requirements vs. your camp responsibilities?
CTL; How were/are your young grandchildren entertained at Camp CTL all summer long?
