Why cant people put their seforim back onto the shelves when they are finished with them?
Posted 2 days ago #
#1- they forget
#2- laziness
I have friends who are newly married, no kids, don’t cook suppers yet, but call a cleanig lady twice a week. One word. Spoiled.
They were supposed to have a trial one of these days, but I think it was pushed off, because of the 3 weeks / chodesh av.
Let’s have them in mind in our tefillos! Anyone have their names?
meyers- why do you find a need to write in caps?
I’m a woman. What’s wrong with davening kabbalas Shabbos friday night while wearing a pretty robe & elegant slippers? Many people do it & it never occured to me that it’s not proper.
We yidden are the best
better than the rest
when put to the test
we pass it with zest!
when something’s on our chest
or we find ourselves all messed (up)
just turn to the “west”
He hears every request
our bitachon keeps us “fest”
I’m not saying this in jest
jews are hardly depressed
because we feel so blessed!!
I don’t understand – if so many ppl. seem to dislike Obama (at least here on YW), and for legitimate reasons, then how does he have so many fans??
I sometimes daven with my (nice) slippers. Anything wrong with that?
maybe try finding someone from the BT world. They’re often more open to the idea.
ujm – why use such harsh language?
Farginning / jealousy is a nature.
But of course, everything can be worked on. That’s why we came here on this world..
Ich bin goornisht mechadesh, but When given a choice between Dam (DUMb) or Ttzefardia one would choose the easier “makah”. (Plague)
Now since Obama is a simply a hot air balloon, he has nothing to offer, at least McCain has some experience. And his muslim background also makes me uneasy, so there goes McCain..
mdlevine-
e/t = everything
a/t = anything
e/o = everyone
how would you handle a rebel who decided to be mechalel shabbos out of bitterness / depression? (not necessarily due to lack of belief – if it matters)
someone confided to me that she started doing some not good things (although privately)
I don’t know what to tell her. If I tell her to stop, I might lose a chance to make her come back, on the other hand it’s my achryus if I ignore it, isn’t it?
edc- are you implying that the the list you created, of pro-freikeit commentators, are reshaim as well??
what’s coming next?
hey lgbg- you left out my name! Although I wasn’t on the original list by edc, I sure was added by Jent!
Another thing.. If you stop & think about this whole concept of cramming big families into tiny decrepit 2 room bungalows – which are at the mercy of any sudden wind (or almost, calm breeze) to fall apart.. Hashem yerachem. They’re so unsafe.
OTOH if you want to be positive, you can take a lesson from it = histapkes b’miet – if these ppl. would be forced to live under such conditions all year round they wouldn’t survive… but in the summer – not even a kvetch! It’s marvelous.
Slabodka – couldn’t agree more. Another point: MONEY. Who can afford renting an expensive bungalow nowadays? Most people not. Although there is something about the yishuv hadaas, & the fresh country air, this peer pressure / competition has to stop. I know of more than one family who was forced to go into debt in order to buy a summer home since everyone in their “group” (who possibly did have the finances) bought.
josephf/YosephF – are you twins? Ur voices seem to echo beautifully – or besser gezugt, you probably inherited the stutter from the same side.. 😉
josephf- Do you sign off as “Joseph” in the news section? Or are you 2 different ppl?
Btw I thought you were sarcastic. Seems that you’re really enjoying commenting here, no?
Please… a little bit of open-mindedness! If someone doesn’t agree with all your shitahs & svaros it doesn’t mean yet that they’re “frei”! I trust YW enough that if posters were truly pro-freikeit, their comments wouldn’t go through so easily. So to those who keep ‘adding names to the list'(of freikeit yidden) please cool it a little.
Oh- By the way, aren’t you afraid of chapping shlechta hashpaos? By constantly corresponding with apikorsim you can really become negatively influenced.. so watch out. I’m scared for you!
Some people (& often the juicy gossipers) tend to become extremely holy when it comes to giving information for a shidduch. If you’re unsure whether you should divulge the flaw or not – think, ‘if this would be for me, MY son, daughter, sister, friend, etc., would I want someone to hide this piece of info. from me?’
If the aswer is a definite no then please say the truth!!
jent btw- what does ‘we thing’ mean?
1- who’s WE? were you gazing into the mirror when you wrote it?
2- we THING… spellcheck is a fine tool occassionally.
(in response to your compliment) at the rate jent is adding names to the original post, it will soon fill up a page..
jent I think you’ll be the only one not on the list.. – If I/willi am “frei” already then who’s not…
draykup- be careful. Many ‘online courses’ are scams.
no, they should only allow comments from “edc”…
I mean, what kind of question is this??
You made me laugh so hard when I saw it!!
unfortunately there will always be oiber chachomim that think “to me nothing will ever happen” & go right ahead putting themselves & others in danger.
I can relate to what you’re saying… At my first job our office manager was out to make us miserable, & all 6 of us ended up leaving within the year. When I looked for my second job, the 1st thing I inquired about, was if the boss is nice. Some ppl. don’t care, as long as they come home with a fat check, but for me working 9-5 under a decent person outweighed the other factors.
every restaurant has different things that I like, so when I’m in the mood of pizza I go to one, & for a slice of potato kugel I’d go to another, ( & when I want a better price in a 3rd, etc. ) but in general, Cafe W (Itzu’s) on Lee Ave, Williamsburg has very good (milchige) food.
Torahis do I detect a hint of (self) hatred in your post? You start out by saying that you don’t like this thread. Well no one is forcing u to be here! We’re happy to be jews, & we’re bringing out points why.
I substituted in several heimishe schools, & 1 of them still owes me money from last year. My friend had told me before that I should know that I’ll be doing it l’shem mitzva, & I should have listened to her.
(but it really depends on the school, some do pay on time)
In any case when I realized that I’ll never see the $$ from them, I removed myself from their list!
I worked in an office last year where most girls coughed nonstop for hours so that 1 of our bosses there could have a good smoke. We’re talking about a large suite with many offices attached. So kal v’chomer his family!!! poor wife & kids!
swieb91- hey, how are you such a ‘boki’ in goyishe music?
ujm – I’m cracking up! You’re not the 1st poster to mention that ppl are using more than 1 screen name to identify themselves. Are you also perhaps guilty of this? 😉 (Not that it’s wrong) I’m starting to like the idea. Hm…. any1 have a cute name suggestion for my back up signature?
charlie brown – good, u deserve to be valedictorian. Start practicing your speech… 🙂
I was horrified to see girls / women in Boro Park walking on the streets without stockings! No, not sheer tights, short kneehighs or socks with holes. BARE FEET!
The 1st time I saw it I blinked several times to make sure I wasn’t imaginging things. But I’ve seen it many times, unfortunately. Now I know some posters here have this attitude of ‘mind your own business’, & in general I’m also of that belief, but this is an obsolute Pirtza – no excuses, adaraba if any1 disagrees, find me a heter for this.
Not the shortest way, but go to “out of the mailbag”, click on the latest letter, & by the comments section you’ll see already… click on “here” & it’ll take you to the coffee room.
matisyohu28- are you the letter writer by chance?
ok I just guessed, cuz I found it strange that they both use the same words like “Chayos” & b’chlal very similar style of writing. But it is possible.. 2 ppl at a kiddush & 1 says to the other “waddya say, shmulik, how sickening!” etc….
& then they both decide to write letters.. well yes, everything is possible.
…tried sending a long post but it got lost so in short: a good memory doesn’t automatically mean deserving of honor. The point is the effort / work you put in. Simple.
charlie brown – correction: dovid Kornreich
hnbny- i agree. I also think 1 person wrote both, )but sent through 2 different letters – probably to maximize the effect.)
lgbg- I would definitely eat ice cream with my sis. in law.
The question is only if I’d buy an ice cream for my brother in law. 😉
lgbg – it’s worse by the men in the city!
btw maybe the 21 yr old guy in the story was her brother in law, or a 1st cousin (not that it would excuse flirting but it’s still different) & hey, perhaps it was her BROTHER? did u think of that one?
who cares that he didn’t look chassidish – maybe he has issues or whatever. Dan l’kaf zchus!
the fact that they did it so in the open makes me think that it’s probably
good point. By the way, some people think that if they wear perfume they can skip deodorant but they’re obviously wrong.. (in yiddish it’s called oiven pitz inten shmitz)
So, is it permitted to put a load into the dryer let’s say a few minutes before the zman & then leave the dryer going – which means that the load will finish drying on Shabbos?
First step in AWARENESS. Educate the public about hilchos tznius, & maybe learning a bit every day.
people think the chassidim are extreme in dressing? Open Rabbi Falk’s book on tznius – think it’s called “oz vehadar levusha” & you’ll be surprised. The same halachos apply to everyone.
The last comment of the 2nd letter writer though, (“there will be no klal yisrael in 20 years..”) was obviously written in a moment of anger, cuz it doesn’t make too much sense. For 1, we all believe moshiach will be here by then…
