You can teach your kids that ice cream is a special treat and you don’t have to get every single day just because the ice cream truck is here.
There is no obligation to get ice cream just because the ice cream is driving through the neighborhood. If you want to get ice cream, that’s your choice, not the driver’s choice.

The lakewood scoop has a forum where you could post lost and found (On the menu just after Home)
There’s also a website that you could post Hashovas Avaida items. it used to be popular back in the day (used to be a link from YWN itself) but it may still be worth a try-hashovasavaida dot com

I’m not exactly sure why google only took the first part of the article, but if you look at the source that google has you’ll see that the article is disproving that statement.

According to the media, there was a statement released by the Biden Admin (can be found on whitehouse dot gov) the vaccine requirement for international travelers will end after May 11 (it says end of day on May 11 so really May 12)

Nomesorah-in case you’re interested, you can google Rabbinical panel hears 8 hours covid collive and it should come up

I’ve been out of Kollel for several years now. When I was in Kollel (BMG), I was amazed at the amount of people learning full time even though they were married and several kids.
I think many of them have side jobs (you’ll be surprised at how many of them do things on the side like tutoring and selling things on amazon) and have support from parents, in laws and friends. They do their hishtadlus and Hashem takes care of the rest. When I was in my last years of Kollel and thinking of leaving, my wife told that there’s a certain Siyata Dishmaya in parnassa when one is learning and one shouldn’t take leaving kollel and going to work so lightly.

Gadolhadofi-I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. I am for teaching English in yeshivas. I was saying that it wasn’t a shita of R’Aharon not to have english but of somebody else.

I’m not sure if you want an answer from other CR posters or YWN. If you want an answer from YWN, use the Contact tab on top right as the mods here have said that they have nothing to do with the news reported on YWN.

I went to a yeshiva that did not have shtultz but I had a rebbe who had gone to a yeshiva with shtultz. We asked him once to explain it. He went thru it (a little lengthy to post here) and at the end of it he said that if a 9th grader would come to ask a 12th grader a question in learning or in hashkofah, the 12th grader would answer him warmly and cordially, being friendly. If he would come over to shmuz with him, he would “shtultz him out.” This made the 9th graders realize that the 12th graders are not there to be their friend but to help them out, to help them grow and looking out for them.

Is it on the gavra or the cheftza

Is there a reason why you’re reviving a troll thread from 10+ years ago?

yserbius-Some say the Eitz Hadaas was an apple tree

This sounds more like an issue of Shalom more than who is right or wrong. Even if you’re right, machlokes isn’t worth it. I would suggest that you try to make shalom before fanning the flame.

Usually it means that the thread or the comment is by someone who is bored and just having fun

When I was in elementary school (I think it was 5th grade), a kid in my class asked the Rebbe if Ruach Hakodesh still exists nowadays. His answer was “If you know what Ruach Haodesh really is, you wouldn’t be asking that question.”

When the letter came out a few weeks ago, the oilam in shul asked the Rav of the shul (a major talmid chacham) why is this Chumash any different than the Emek Davar, as he also gives a pshat in Rashi. People were also wondering why this Chumash was any different than the Artscroll Rashi Chumash. The Rav answered that they ruined the tzura of the page. The tzura is Chumash and then Rashi underneath it. The pshuto shel mikra chumash first put the pasuk, then their pshat and then Rashi after that. The Emek Davar and Artscroll placed their pshat after Rashi. They didn’t take away the tzura of the Chumash.

Yabia Omer, it’s for people that travel to Eretz Yisroel and they need to catch up on leining.

If you choose a topic and start us off, you’ll have a chance. Otherwise, it’s not going to happen.

scared driver delight, it sounds like you never even learnt public speaking to begin with. If you did, you would know why it’s so important and why it’s an important skill to have. I’ll give you an example. Look at Obama. He has some crazy views. However he has influenced thousands of Americans that his way is the right way. How? Through the way he speaks. The speeches that he has given has influenced thousands of Americans that he is the right man to run the country.

I’ll give you another example. In the Book “Rabbi Sherer,” it describes how Rabbi Moshe Sherer zatzal was able to influence political figures to change the law so it coincided for halacha and so it would be better for the Jewish people. How did he do that? Through public speaking. He was an amazing speaker and was able to influence political figures that the Jewish people are important and you need to accommodate them.

For us, public speaking is relevant as well. If someone got up and couldn’t speak in complete sentences you wouldn’t even listen to him. People would yell at him to get off the podium. If there are non jews there it could be a chillul Hashem that this person doesn’t know how to speak. (If there are only jews there, it could be an even greater chillul Hashem.)

I have no idea if you’re a man or a woman, but how do you expect to say a dvar torah if you have no idea how to speak?

Therefore, public speaking is very important-to know how to influence people and also if you want people to listen to you, then you have to learn how to speak so people can follow you and listen to what you have to say.

It seems that I’m the only one who heard this: Several years ago, BMG was thinking about changing the freezer to attempt to fix the shidduch crisis. They wanted to make a rule that you only could go to the freezer if you were 22 and a half, Pesach time. After that, you wouldn’t have to go through the freezer. One of the Lakewood Roshei yeshiva went and spoke to one of the Gedolei Hador in Eretz Yisroel about this idea. The gadol told him that the idea wouldn’t work because it wouldn’t stop anyone. If they didn’t want to go through the bmg system, they would just go somewhere else.

They’re probably on vacation. They haven’t tweeted any simchas since Tuesday, and I checked on the website and there have been several simchas since then

Malbim, I think you should look for another city. Maybe, somewhere in montana or wyoming. 🙂

RebYidd23, it could be that a fridge that the door opens without a light exists. But I don’t think they’re so common.

Sam2- Usually the switch that turns off the light is right when the door enters the frame, so you’d have to be careful about that

A friend of mine once forgot to disconnect it before shabbos. What he ended up doing is that his wife put the baby in front the fridge and the baby closed it by herself.

I looked this up-I believe the best idea is to get a goy to close the door.
