    Publicized negative speech about seminaries may count as lashon harah unless it is specifically said to the person who will benefit from the information. Similar to starting a thread asking people to give their opinion about a certain person.

    I hope no one takes offense.

    Once I gave in and shook a women’s hand but all I could think about was “OY how can I be doing such a thing.”

    Does that mean it would become muttar irrelevant of attractiveness?

    Keep in mind that being b’simchah on a date is a big plus and even in general if people know you as a happy girl the word will spread.

    P.S. I realize that this is especially difficult in your situation. Hatzlacha!!!!!!

    I would like something nuts maybe “official inventor of banana mush” if possible.

    P.S. Mush up the banana with its peel still on, then crack open the end and squeeze out the goo onto a piece of bread. Beware! May cause spectators to faint, vomit, throw rotten tomatoes, etc.

    The creation of sound was included in the creation of eardrums. Tornadoes were included in shomayim,earth etc.

    I’m just surprised that no one responded to my statement about light by saying that the pasuk is referring to the or haganuz. It seems that everyone agrees that physical light was also created on day one.

    As oppose to “light” which was created on the first day, “sound” was never created. Therefore, I would say that sound is only how one’s brain interprets vibrations in the air.

    Too bad those who spent years figuring out if light is made of particles or only waves didn’t just LEARN the first few psukim of Chumash.

    I think YWN CR would do well offering free advertising space to certain tzedakkah organizations. It’s not like that would take up pages or inconvenience it’s readers because the space at the sides is anyways not used.

    The rule is that

    ??? ????? ?? ?????? ????? ????? ????? ?? ??

    basically ‘all’ doesn’t mean ‘all’

    Anyways we know that dovid hamelech wasn’t a liar.

    Also, ??? refers to the lower level of civilization related to ????.

    some tell you to pick the top five attributes that you are looking for

    1)Any ??? with real yiras shomayim and understanding of tzniyus wouldn’t feel comftorble dancing in front of men

    2) “If a man really wanted to watch he always could” -The point is to make it out-of-the-way so that as long as a man doesn’t try to tempt himself he won’t be.

    3)Sam2-please explain “Simcha goreres simcha” and it’s relevance to this discussion.

    Well, forcing yourself to eat even though you are full doesn’t count as achilah so it wouldn’t be a mitzvah to eat a cow.

    The Rambam in Hilchos Ishus Perek ?? Halacha ? discusses one who is so attached to the Torah like Ben Azzai that he is patur from getting married and having children. The Rambam says that if his Yetzer harah is overcoming him causing him to be attracted to women he must get married to subdue his desires. I considered this amazing that someone at such a madreigah can still have such problems. This is a chizuk to those who have done aveiros and feel that this makes them “nobodies”

    P.S. Note even the Vilna Gaon got married.

    P.S.S. I thought that love of Torah and physical desires contradict each other?

    P.S.S. Note even Moshe Rabeinu got married and only separated because of his prophetic status.

    My guess is that throwing them on the Aron comes from the minhag in the bais hamikdash where when they finished hoshanos they left their hoshanos by the mizbeach and said “Yoyfee licha mizbeach”-“beauty to you mizbeach” and regarding hitting them I saw that one should beat them only five times no more no less. And why we hit them look in the Zoyhar parshas tzav daff ?? Amud ?

    I think that all Divrei Toras Nigleh (even takanos) have deep reasons al pi sod so I wouldn’t suggest that the takanah wouldn’t be made nowadays unless I had done serious research into the topic. Also Chazal didn’t say that if you are in a place where daily shaves are the norm it is fine.

    1)Well, ????? is a coyseves so the opposite should also be.

    2) Is washing yourself also a mitzvah because it’s the opposite of ?????.

    3) Would eating something you don’t like or if you are overstuffed already, not be a mitzvah.

    4)”The Mitzvah is a kiyum of being full” so if I don’t fill myself I didn’t do a Mitzvah?

    BaalHabooze:

    Who are the ushpizin on Pesach?I counted so far Eliyahu Hanavi and the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

    Also, the proper time to blow is every time hamon is mentioned and a tekiyah gedolah at Hamon ben Hamidasah Hoagogy.

    Also, Chanukah has nothing to do with the ‘fifteenth’ so you could eat your seudah hamafsekes in the sukkah without blowing out the neiros, get drunk, wait till shkiyah, lein the megillah, get drunk some more and make sure to eat the afikoman before chatzos. Then you can drink your 7,9,613 or 770 coysos depending on your Minhag.

    I think you can learn a mussar vort from the blackening of the aravos.

    We see that someone without taste or smell (chochmah or yiras shomayim) as soon as he is cut off from the tree of life and not kept in water (Torah) he withers away.

    Also the elongated aravos represent the mouth when it is closed the way it should be.

    Also I was wondering how someone could have Torah and not maasim tovim or the reverse(???? ??????) if the Mishnah in Avos says “?? ??? ???? ??? ???? ??? ??? ???? ??? ????’

    I think that you can learn a good mussar vort from the blackening of the aravos.

    What I don’t understand is why people spend gazillions on an esrog but don’t mind if after a few days their aravos look like they’ve gone through arbah misos beis din. I know the pasuk says “pri eitz hadar” but why should one of the minim be so much more important than another.

    Interjection:

    Sometimes when people are conversing each one is carefully thinking about each word they say so as not to give off the wrong image. In such a case you really don’t get to connect to his/her true personality. I was suggesting that maybe dates should continue until you can be sure you have passed that stage.

    Since this is supposed to be for nightly Divrei Torah and none are appearing I’ll stick one in off the top of my head- Usually we pour wine on the mizbeach but on sukkos we also pour water why? Because going through the whole year we have been doing aveiros and are red like wine but after getting a chance to do Teshuvah we are clean and clear like water.

    So I don’t understand why someone would suck candies if they aren’t consuming the proper amount in the required time limit to be considered ‘eating’ (like matzo on Seder night that has to be eaten in a certain time limit to have been considered as having fulfilled the biblical requirement.) Unless there is also a Rabinic ordinance of eating on the ninth of tishrei that can be fulfilled with lesser quantities. However, I haven’t been informed as such.
