    The truth about teeth and how we can heal them without dentists (who by the way are technically teeth surgeons) can be found in Cure Tooth Decay by Ramiel Nagel.

    I warn you to be prepared to change your whole thought process regarding teeth.

    That’s what you get for involving the mods in a game!

    This is a game after all so we can set our own rules.

    Therefore I hereby declare an unrecognized country invalid unless it is an inhabited region and known by that name. At this point in time I don’t believe Liberland qualifies.

    One issue not mentioned, is if one is looking for the unparalleled benefits of fermented fish-cod liver oil. As far as I know there is no such product available with a hechsher. The only option would be to use the capsules and rely on some combination of heterim.

    Looks like we got lost here. The Queen; not sure who you’re responding to. oyvey; you’re not supposed to reuse names. Although we are not so strict about that rule because this is the sixth page of this thread, Yongzhou was just used 1 day ago. We have to have some minimum standards here. So if it’s on the same page, then let’s not repeat please.

    The only appropriate entertainment would be a professional Badchan. Otherwise or in addition “make sure” the speakers are well prepared and not too boring. Warn all speakers to not start off their speech apologizing how unprepared or unqualified they are, because if they are then they shouldn’t be speaking. If they insist on speaking nonetheless and actually proclaim those silly disclaimers then they have just signaled most people to tune out.

    OK I see we have an issue here. My satirical posting of the non-existent Ukelele, Hawaii went totally unnoticed.

    Any suggestions from the esteemed members of the geography board?

    How did this go unnoticed for 2 years?

    from The Little I Know: “In Skver, the minhag is that the “chosson’s” father does NOT attend the aufruf at all.”

    I highly doubt that’s true! Why would the chosson’s father not attend?

    There was a Rav Karelenstein from Eretz Yisroel who used to say Vaadim occasionally in the Mirrer Yeshiva in Brooklyn in the late 80’s or early 90’s. Does anyone know what his first name was?

    Not sure where you live, but in Flatbush I know there are vibrant sephardic chareidi kehilot and yeshibot. I used to tsulee frequently in the sephardic/edot hamizrach kenesiyot when I was in yeshiva there and I enjoyed the havara and nusach. I miss it now that i live in an entirely ahkenaz community.
