    Haleivi-Wow. I remember those books.
    If I remember correctly, the narrator in that book telling the story says that he didn’t know how that crazy basket sword trick was done.

    If nobody is makpid on chalav yisroel or pas yisroel, bagels and cream cheese would be fine. Peanut butter also usually has a hechsher. Blueberries have an issue with bugs so check the websites of different kashrus agencies (crc, star-k, etc) on how to check them.
    Regarding cut fruit, you should ask your local Rabbi as there are different opinions about it.

    “If you want Abie’s humor there’s a recording he put out called “a time to laugh” he has some good bits in there”

    englisherpotz-when shnooky says to put in the plug, he’s not crying, that’s his voice. Listen to Shnooky other times, you’ll see that’s the way he sounds. As for Dr. Middos yelling at him, you’re exaggerating the story. Picture the scenario in your mind when you’re in middle of trying to figure something out that you worked on and some guy tries to cut into what you’re doing.
    When Uncle Moishy came in by MM4, he was already telling them that it was time to go before Uncle Moishy stopped by. That’s not rude but more of an affectionate way-“now off you go,” as in “time to leave.”

    whitecar, I’m not really understanding what you’re asking, as you answered your own question.
    “If you’re going to answer that the MMM only alerted after the event and then replayed it on the screen, that would be acceptable, but in one of the episodes, Shnooky actually spoke to the child before playing the song (why does everybody make so much fun of me…).”
    It was replayed on the screen a few seconds after it happened,, Shnooky saw what what had happened, decided to send him his thoughts and then spoke to him and said listen.
    If you listened to MM4, you would know that the MMM detects after after the fact as they used the MMM to find Charlie and Bruno who had kidnapped the president.

    I didn’t see that ad but it may be like the the last time I saw an ad for pesach in egypt a few years ago I was laughing hysterically at the ad and thought it for sure it had to be a joke. I went to that website and I was right, it was an advertisement for Yad L’achim.

    A. Everyone knows women are in the world as women are not banned. It’s the tznius that you should be aware of (and that doesn’t just mean inappropriate pictures)-“Kol Kevuda bas melech Pnima”
    B. Yes, this is what it is in today’s society however, not every frum woman wants to be like a politician
    c. Unless people live under a rock, there’s enough for people to see and not just in a magazine (If you base everything on what you see in a magazine, you are a fool).

    The marketing emails may have come from anywhere. One way I got marketing emails was because I gave to a tzedaka organization online and since then I’ve been bombarded with many tzedaka emails from that platform that was hosting their campaign. Usually there’s a way to unsubscribe from these types of emails on the bottom of the email.

    etrog101- google gesher cleveland and you’ll find their website. They are an organization that helps with jobs, housing, government programs etc. so they should be able to help you.
    There’s a lot of info and I’m not sure if the coffee room is the place to give over that info. The best thing is to ask someone who lives in cleveland and they can tell you more info, (for example, they can tell you which neighborhood is right for you, which blocks are the better blocks, if cleveland is a right fit for you, schools, shuls etc).
    Hatzlacha!

    Lakewhut, I’m not sure which city you’ve been in (and it doesn’t matter as it’s lashon hara) but I’ve lived, traveled and have been in yeshiva in several out of town cities. Only one out of the cities that I’ve been in had an issue with that. They tried to make their own cholov yisroel plant because of that but they ran out of funding.
    My point is that they don’t deliberately sell spoiled milk. It happens occasionally (and this even happens in cities that are in town) that milk or other dairy products were spoiled right from the start. Many stores (including Lakewood) have a 7 day return policy for perishables for this reason.

    I used to live in Lakewood and I think food prices have gone up due to inflation in general there’s more more supply and demand and not due to the new check increases. The prices were rising even before the Adirei Hatorah initiaitive.
    Lakewhut, I don’t know if you’re serious or joking, but Thoughtful Response wasn’t saying to go out of town to buy milk, but just to compare prices.
    No, out of town does not sell spoiled milk.

    I’m not a Chaim Berliner but I was once at a fundraising melava malka several years ago, and the MC got up to speak. He said that there was a dinner recently at Chaim Berlin celebrating a milestone (I don’t remember what it was) and there were over 20,000 reservations. The Rosh Yeshiva R’Aharon Schechter Zatzal said, “Let’s remember that the tachlis here is to raise money. We can’t forget that.”
    The MC continued and said, “We’re here for a beautiful melave malka but we can’t forget the main purpose of why we’re here, to raise money.”

    There’s story where a reporter came to check out a famous yeshiva and write an article on it. When he saw the beis medrash and the bochurim were yelling at each other in learning, he asked the person who brought him there, “I understand that they are learning the Torah and it’s very special but why do they have to be screaming at each other?”
    The person answered him, “If someone would come and try to take your life, would you start screaming? Of course. To these bochurim, Torah is their life. If someone tells them that the Torah that they are trying to tell over is not true, it’s like someone is taking away their life and that’s why they scream.”

    It sounds like the OP is bored and trying to create some hock.
    However, just to let everyone know, regarding short chazara hashatz, it’s actually a halacha in Shulchan Aruch and the mishna berura towards the end of chelek 1 (I can’t remember which siman offhand but I’ll try to look it up later). The Shulchan Aruch says b’shaas hadchak the chazzan can start shemone esrei out loud and the congregation can start shemone esrei quietly along with the chazzan, word for word. After Kedusha, everyone continues quietly. The mishna berura writes if it’s not such a shas hadchak, the congregation can start quietly.

    Rabbi Paysach Krohn and Rabbi Ephraim Tenenbaum talk about it on their trip to Prague in Eternal Luminaries (can be found on Rabbi Krohn’s website). If I remember correctly, Rabbi Krohn said that there was no golem as there was no mention of the golem in any writings until many years after the maharal was niftar. Rabbi Tenenbaum said that even though the Maharal’s golem wasn’t true, other gedolim have made golems.

    If you’ll look closely, you’ll see that those current threads discussing lubavitch are usually started by the same one or two posters.
    You are correct that many people bring up the topic because they are talking to Lubavitchers. I grew up in an area with many Lubavitchers and Litvaks. Many times when the Litvish Bochurim met the Chabad bochurim, the conversations were about the Rebbe if he’s still alive and whether he was/is Mashiach.
    I don’t think you’d find Litvaks discussing it on a daily basis.
