I was at a shiru recently given by Rabbi Resiman and he mentioned taht the midda that is mentioned most often in Mishlei is Daas. He said that means doing what we know is inherently right and using our seichel in srving hashem
I guess it depends how well you feel you know the sciences. If you feel you are strong in them I would say just use Exam Crackers. Exam crackers also has audio CDs which I found very helpful. They are very clearly written (as opposed to Princeton and Kaplan) and are high yield. If you feel like you need more work with the sciences then consider taking a full MCAT course. Kaplan isn’t very good.
Any questions feel free to ask!
Congrats on going to med school. You will love it!
I am in med school and your are absolutley right to an extent. The body raises its tempature because it sows and kills the microbe that is harming you in the first place. However, at a certain point the fever reaction can get too strong, the extreme of which would be temps like 104-105 but even less than that is already strong. I don’t give my kids fever -reducers till they hit almost 101 or if they are very uncomfortable. but as long as long as you are feeling fine and temps are below that the best thing to do is leave the fever
and write soul: Touro has 2 medical schools in the mortheast and two on the west coast. I am in their medical school
hey! Go for It! I am a 27 year old with two kids and am just finishing first year medical schoo. I started school in Lakewood with two kids! I am not going to tell you it wasn’t an adjustment but the best decision I made! You will probably be better than most at manging your time because you are used to that already!
Feel free to ask me anything you want or need to know. Is there a way to private message on yeshiva world? if there is pm me
Seems to be a lot of negativity on this thread which is unfortunate that we don’t do a better job with chinuch that people don’t feel this way. Just wanted to share a thought from the Alter from Kelm. He says that the greatest part of our chinuch is that things become second nature and that the biggest pitfall of our chinuch is that everything is second nature
here is a list of great things to do in tsfas both on shabbos and during week.
there is a friday night tour of the old city which is great.
see all the old shuls: beis yosefs, abohav, arizal.
arizals mikvah and the arizals, beis yosefs and rav shloima alkabatzes kevarim.
walk around old city and check out the different art galleries.
the tzfas winery. amazing and different than other ones you may have visited. one frum guy makes the wine with his sons, stores the barrels in his basement, and spends the rest of his time learning. interesting, tastes good.
obviously miron is nearby if you have time before or after shabbos and there is an amazing hike that takes about 2 hours from tzfat to miron.
foodwise: rechov yerushalayim is the main street. there is an amazing mehadrin falafel. smal place, guy makes everything only once you order.
in reference to previous comments: carlebach shul is packed on popular weeks like chanuka but otherwise not bad. nice for friday night and before mariv on motzei there is a kumzitz.
I dont know what your budget is but the nicest hotel in the old city is the rimonim. you can preorder mehadrin meals for extra money and the mashgiach personally arranges everything
ENJOY!
tzfas is amazing!
i am not sure wat u are in to but daven at carlebach friday night. if u dont like carlebach go the breslov shul. it isnt the na nach breslov at all. beautiful shul and beautiful davening. are u single, married or family? different stuff to do depending
Definitely did the right thing. A swift kick would have been nice too!
the Star K has a list on their website of what can be bought in a Starbucks that sells treif food. a big factor is if you are away from home or not. if you aren’t then the coffee would have to be an espresso or americano. if you are away from home, they say you can have a regular coffee and lattes and cappuccinos if you don’t hold cholov yisrael only. read the article there for an accurate halachic discussion from a reliable source
