I am a ????? ????, and I am in ????? about 11 hours daily. But, with big ????? ???, i make it here ??? ??????, or after night ??? to post. I think you all owe me a big thank you.
Country A and Country B were at war together. The ONLY way to get from one country to another was by crossing the bridge, which was manned by armed guards. Anybody caught trying to cross would be sent back to his own country.
It takes ten minutes to cross the bridge. Every fifteen minutes, the guards would enter a tent to eat/drink for two minutes. Mr X needs to cross the bridge. How should he do so? [Without swimming/parachuting or crossing any other way; without turning invisible and without using a Disillusionment Charm]
Yentingyenta: Here’s one for you then [which isn’t a riddle…]
There was a very lazy, rich man who paid his servants to carry him around wherever he went. When he needed to use the bath, his servants would place him inside, and close the door, locking it from the outside. He would shout ‘HOT’ and they would pour hot water down a tube until he shouted ‘COLD’ or ‘OFF’. One day, he lost his voice. He shouted ‘HOT’, and they began pumping hot water through. To his horror, when he shouted ‘OFF’, they couldn’t hear him over the sound of the water. So water was coming in still.
The room was so small it had exactly enough room for the bath on all sides, and the door opened outwardly to let him out. There was no way of getting out. The water was rising in the tiny room, and eventually he would drown.
WHAT SHOULD HE DO TO SAVE HIMSELF?
Simple. Borrow the neighbors horse, to make 18. 18/2 = 9; 18/3 = 6; 18/9 = 2. 2+9+6 = 17. Give the guy one back.
Problem is – you didn’t divide 17 horses and give a 1/2 to the oldest, nor a third to the second, nor a ninth to the third. You gave a fraction of 18!!!
Anything edible or with chocolate.
Hi – just noticed the riddle, yentingyenta. Is the answer something mathematic, something ridiculous that will find a way around the question without answering it, or something logical, like each person adds a certain number of horses onto the lot and then divide it???
BTGuy – that Lol is because you agree, sympathize or simply disagree?
Only on Tuesdays, definitely. Nothing to talk about.
– On a more serious note, it is a problem. One poster writes something slightly off the point, and it’s all downhill from there!!! I started a thread about questions to ask missionaries, and the majority of posters did nothing like that. Why can’t people start their own threads if they have something to add?
Of all the brilliant ones here, i am ????? to MOSKIDOODLE’s the most!!! GO!!!
A man with a doublepostititis once got on a bus and asked: “Can can i i have have a a tick-tick it, please, please?”
The driver replied: “Of of, course, course – that that will be be two two dollars dolllars, sir sir.”
The next guy gets on the bus and askes: “Can i have a ticket, please?”
The driver replied: “Of course, that will be two dollars please.”
The ill doublepostititis-stricken gentleman runs forward and saiys angrily: “Why why did did you you copy copy me me?”
The driver, scared, replies: “I i didn’t didn’t copy copy you you, i i copied copied him him!!!”
BUMP!!! BUMP!!!BUMP!!!BUMP!!!BUMP!!!BUMP!!!BUMP!!!BUMP!!!
Come on genii of CR; let’s see your talent — ask your riddles… fire questions…
That also didn’t work – i just typed the previous post in CODE and it came out in bold. Apparently, there is somehow <`strong> which hasn’t been turned off.
`does code come out in bold?
Now???
I;’m writing now in bold, see if it comes out normal!!
flyer –
actually only 1% of americans are in the army and they manage fine.
Israel is the only democratic country with conscription. Israel is the only country which needs conscription.
I already wrote before that i am against the forced draft of charedi learners. But your reason begs argument: USA lives in peace at the top of the world, and don’t need defence. I haven;t worked the numbers, but i guess that the 1% of americans is much more than 100% Israelis. Israel is surrounded on all sides by enemies who want to destroy Israel. Nobody in the world wants to assist them. How will they win???
Israel cannot be compared to America.

The way to put old threads back on the main page is by simply posting one comment onto it? EASY!!!
What I want to know is – what will happen if/when the government make conscription unavoidable, and Chareidim sitting in Yeshiva will all have to go – what will the Gedolim do?
There will be Mecho’os, of course [hopefully peaceful ones, if the Gedolim have their way] – and then what? Will R’ Elyashiv pick himself up and move to America? Are they just going to make a mass revolution to oust the government? Simply evade the draft and send thousands of bochurim to prison???
I don’t believe anybody actually is unsure of what to
=> The Gedolim say don’t fight; sit and learn. So don’t fight; sit and learn!!
=> The IDF unfortunately don’t make it very easy for Chareidim to serve – some of the stories reminded me of the Russian armies in WW1 where they tried to take the soldiers drafted away from Yiddishkeit!!! Forcing them to sit in rooms with Kol Isha is an atrocity. So there is no question – if your yiddishkeit will be compromised, there is no helping. If the IDF want any cooperation, they may as well become slightly more reasonable.
=> The main focus of a Jew should be his Torah. If that is not possible for personalfinancialother reasons, there is a HETER not to learn. But the whole world was created for Torah only, and without Torah, no country will be successful. Cancelling the Torah learning of the country with the most Harbotzas Torah is unheard of.
And so does a dishwasher. BUT THAT’s NOT THE POINT!!!
Moskidoodle – i do apologize if i offended you in any way.
There are two types of singing without music: Something like the Maccabeats, which is one guy singing and the others making sounds r singing as the music – that may be assur and is definitely not in the spirit. You can also get something like Dudi Kalish, which is just a choir of people harmonizing – no music. THat is even in the spirit of Sefira to listen to.
You heard about the Chassidisher from Boro Park who chucked out all his electrical appliances – his laptop, computer, blackberry, mobile, toaster, microwave, fridge and even his air conditioning unit. His washing machine stayed, though – “I have a filter!” He said!!!
The Ben Ish Chai brings a story about SHidduchim:
A carpenter called Avrohom living in Yerushalayim had a large sum of money stolen from his house one night by a thief. The thief escaped to Ein Gedi desert, where he got lost and died of thirst. A guy called Eliyahu was touring Ein Gedi, found a Meis Mitzvah and buried him, taking the money for himself, before returning home to Bnei Brak and hiding the money in a hollow tree in his garden.
That day, his father died, and he forgot about the money. During the shiva week, a big storm uprooted the trees all over the neighborhood.
After the Shiva, it was Eliyahu’s job to provide money for the family, and he traveled to Jerusalem, looking for a job. He was hired as an apprentice by none other than … Avraham the Carpenter.
Avraham went to collect lumber from the lake, where all the fallen trees were lying. He opened up one, and found his money, lying in it’s original wallet. He told Eliyahu the miraculous story of how his money stolen from him was returned in a tree. Eliyahu told him HIS part of the story.
Avrohom insisted that Eliyahu should take the money, but Eliyahu refused. So, suspecting that Eliyahu was embarrased to take the money, he asked his wife to bake a cake and hide the money inside, and gave it to Eliyahu before Eliyahu’s holiday.
Eliyahu unsuspectingly took the cake, and rode on his horse and wagon out of Jerusalem. A border guard searched his carriage, saw the cake and asked to buy it. Eliyahu sold it to him.
Meanwhile, the guard went and gave the cake as a wedding gift that night… and you can guess who made the wedding. Avraham the CArpenter.
The conclusion was that Avraham, so impressed by the boy’s middos and charm, suggested that Eliyahu marry his daughter, and the happy couple took the money… and lived happily ever after…
INSPIRATIONAL???
Wit beyond measure is a man’s greatest treasure.
People find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right
It is our choices that show us what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
— I know where you got those from, Luna Lovegood.
Are the next three also in the same series???
It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be
The future depends on what we do in the present
It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default.
Humility is a strange thing…. when you think you’ve got it, -you lost it.
Incorrect. Knowing that one is humble is not a contradiction to being humble.
Humility means understanding that any qualities and talents that one has is not one’s own work or success, rather it is God Who has given him these qualities, and one is therefore no better than one without these abilities.
Facebook comes with everything else in the world. The bad side that the ??? ??? made it for, and the good side the ??? ??? tricked us with. Like the Internet – billions of good reasons to have [e.g. convenience, leisure, business, trade], it can be used too easily for the bad. The same it with Facebook. NOBODY has ever been killed from using YWN. Unfortunately, too many people – mainly teenage girls – have been murdered brutally through Facebook. People have left Yiddishkeit because of Facebook. One can create friends on whom we Daven daily ???????? ???? ??. How many stories are there of the countless people who have done terrible things online – on social networking sites – good, honest people whose temptation caught up with them? We are safer without the outside world at our fingertips. We are safer to simply stick to people we know and can see, without forging relationships with those anonymous.

You wrote on the last thread:
No parent should ever force a child to do Sth because it’s the done thing.
But in this case, parents should force their kids because it’s the RIGHT thing!!!
Okay… calm down. Take a deep breath, count to ten slowly… there we go. Calm?
Which thread got deleted? “Yeshiva guys on the Internet when they are supposedly learning in yeshiva”?
I don’t know why the Mods closed it, but I do have a thing or two to tell you.
It makes me sick to see kids (bachurim) that I know are in yeshiva and are online!!
Why have you got the rights to surf the net more than us Bochurim? If something is ????, it is ???? to everybody, regardless of location, occupation or hair colour. If it is ????, it is also ???? to everybody. If you want to be ?????, good for you. If not, how about remember that saying Care about yenne’s gashmiyus and your own ruchniyus?
If a ???? wants to use his ??? ?????? to use the Internet, let him – providing he doesn’t spend it on sites not as Kosher as this one – which you also shouldn’t be on.
Is using the Internet immature? That’s a new one…
K enuf with da rant now don’t all yell back but I’d like to hear sum feedback in a respectful manner!
You’re lucky you wrote that or I’d have had some things to say that the Mods definitely wouldn’t let through!!!

“I guess Rava didn’t know the halacha about not drinking on Purim…”
Nobody can control themselves when they are drunk. You are probably refering to the ???? ????? ? which says ???? ????? ?????? ?????? – some ??????? learn that the story brought right after – of ??? and ?’ ???? having the ????? ????? together, and ?’ ???? chopped off ???’s head, killing him – some learn that the story is brought to
illustrate that the ???? is ???? and explaining the DANGERS of wine and why one shouldn’t get drunk, even on ?????. It is not the ???? of most ???????, but it does show you how dangerous drunkedness can be – even in front of other people, a massive ????? ??? and ??? ???? can’t control his actions.
Toi – you will be happy they do nothing worse. But why are you happy they smoke and drink? If you can stop them drinking and smoking, why don’t/won’t you?
As a Bochur, i can tell you that if you ban everything, you will get nowhere. But there was a time where a group of boys were getting drunk on Thursday nights, and the Yeshiva closed the dorms for thursdays every week for a month (Everybody lives within an hour from the Yeshiva), and then reopened it ?? ???? that the bochurim agree not to drink. And it words – out of the whole Yeshiva, only two boys got drunk the whole Winter Zman (5 Months).
