no longer, I could be wrong but I believe the words are ” So I’ll ignore him and he’ll ignore me”
I did the search again and it came up as the second option. I can’t post the link, but I’ll try in a different way. jewishsonglyrics dot com (the dot is a period) Once you’re on the site, scroll down and on the left side there’s a category for artists and click on yaakov shwekey
lz, I was looking something up online and I came across someone looking for that last answer, and I saw the answer. If you want I’ll post it or I could keep everyone guessing and I won’t give it away
In the book that recently came out, The Mountain Family (for all those that don’t know, it’s a book about a woman and her family that grew up in the Appalachian Mountains as christians and became geirim later on in life), she writes that her husband asked her to marry her on the first date. She said yes because she knew he was the right one. They weren’t Jewish yet. The Hashgacha Pratis of this was that after having many kids together, she gave birth to a down syndrome child who died after a month and they got divorced about a year later because of that. One event led to another and she became Jewish and got remarried years after that.
If you google yaakov shwekey kolot lyrics and go to the fourth option, you’ll get a website from jewish song lyrics with lyrics to the songs from the cd.
DY, If you google bracha on wraps, you’ll get a blog from Kollel Sharei Horaah which has the article that hello99 copied from. In the comments there, Rabbi Peretz Moncharsh adresses this point.
Only Hashem knows what’s going to happen. If nobody traveled by plane, how would anybody go to Eretz Yisroel nowadays? (In the olden days it took weeks, months to reach Eretz Yisroel. Also, flying nowadays is so common, how could nobody fly at all if you want to travel? These things are so unpredictable. This is the first time this ever happened. Nobody ever thought such a thing would happen nowadys with radar and signals.
The lesson which we’re supposed to take from the plane, (I heard this b’shem several rabbonim) is that Hashem is showing us that We think we’re in control. We have modern technology today- radar, signals, we think we control everything. Hashem is telling us that He runs the worls and even with technology we are not in control. Hashem is in control. Ain Od Milvado There’s only Hashem

Additionally I have a gedolim story (or 2). I learnt in a certain yeshiva once. The Rosh Yeshiva gave(and still gives) shiur every day. One day he mentioned the Rambam in shiur and tried to say pshat on it. The next day, the first thing he said in shiur, “Right before I was going to sleep, I was thinking about the Rambam and I think pshat can be a little different than what I said yesterday.” Fr5om this I got inspiration. This is what a gadol thinks before going to sleep. That’s gadlus.
In a different yeshiva where I am learning now, A friend of mine told me a story about the Rosh Yeshiva (who was niftar not too long ago) My friend is a kohen. One day,as he was about to walk into the building of the yeshiva, he noticed the Rosh Yeshiva also about to walk inside. He stopped to let the Rosh Yeshiva in. The Rosh Yeshiva told him, ” You’re a Kohein, you go first.” My friend didn’t want to, he wanted to let the Rosh Yeshiva go first. The Rosh Yeshiva just stood there. My friend didn’t want to keep the Rosh Yeshiva waiting, so he ran inside. Later, he asked the Rosh Yeshiva, “The Halacha is that a Talmid Chocham comes before Kohen, so why did Rebbe want me to go in first.” The Rosh Yeshiva answered him, “I don’t understand you. I have a mitzva to be mechabed a Kohein, and you want to take that mitzva away from me?!”

A friend of mine told me a story. He was going to pick up the girl at her house. He parked and started walking up what he thought was her walkway to het house. On the walkway of the house next to him, a man strated yelling at him, “Boy, the house is over here!” It turned out that it was the house next door and that man was her father.
I had a story once, at the time it wasn’t so funny. I went out in a hotel and I parked in a parking garage. The way it worked in there is that you get a ticket when you come in and when you’re ready to leave there’s a machine inside the garage to insert the ticket in. You pay for parking, the ticket comes out and when you leave the garage you insert the ticket into the slot and the gate opens. So I inserted the ticket and paid for parking and got the ticket back. While we were in the car getting ready to leave, the ticket fell from my fingers between the two seats in front. We spent ten minutes looking for it. She told me to give up, I said another 5 minutes then I’ll give up. I couldn’t find it after 5 minutes. She said she needed to get a tissue anyways so she’ll ask them inside the hotel what to do. She came back out several minutes later and said that they said that there’s someone at the exit who can help us. We drove to the exit and told the attendant what happened. He told us to keep looking, there’s no other way out that ticket controls the system.The attendant was on her side of the window, so she told him we searched for 10 min and wer couldn’t find it. The attendant was a black person, he said “I knew I shouldn’t have been drinking today, it’s been a bad day!” There were other cars in the other lane, so he let them go, then he came out of his booth and said “You guys were looking for a lot more than 10 minutes. I heard you guys looking for it from where I was. I’m going to get into trouble for this, but I’ll let you go.” He pressed a button and the gate opened up.
I heard a nice vort on purim that’s related to this. It says in Megillas Esther, ??????? ???? ???? ???? ????? ????. We also say these words in Havdala. Why do we say it in Havdala? The gemara in Megilla tes zayin amud beis says this pasuk refers to Torah, Mila, Yom Tov and Tefilin. These things make us different than Goyim. We have these mitzvos and the Goyim don’t. In fact, if a goy does any of these things, he’s chayiv misa. Yom tov also refers Shabbos. The Gemara says ??? ???? ???? ????. This is why we say it in Havdala, which means seperation. This Pasuk refers to how we are seperate from the Goyim.
Have a good Shabbos!
If we’re talking about the same song- I googled the lachatz song and I got a video on ywn, then you can figure it out for yourself. It sounds like a rap. It sounds like a variation of a non jewish song. It’s “Yeshiva Bochur style”. That is NOT yeshiva bochur style. It sounds like a non jewish song and therefore has no place on ywn.
There are so many things you can do. You can visit kevarim on Har Hemenuchos- there’s 2 chelkas Rabbonim sections. You can go tour the Old city, go to the kosel (that’s a must). You can go up north and visit tzfas.

It doesn’t belong on ywn.
Tomo (short for Toras Moshe) is a black hat non yeshivish place. It’s run by Rabbi Moshe Meiselman. Mir is also a good choice but most people don’t go there in first year. Torah Ore is a first year place. There’s an american section and an israeli section.
shopping, it’s a tape so technically I could upload it but it will take a long time, it may not be muttar al pi halacha and I’m a boy and it’s kol isha so I wouldn’t exactly do it. Sorry
On my dor yesharim sheet, it says that if you submitted your social security number at the time of testing, then you can retrieve it that way if you lose the number. However it may take 2-3 days.
Shopping, hashgacha pratis. After I saw your post on Julia Blum, I googled it but couldn’t find any place that sold it. Then later I saw a tape of Julia Blum lying around. There’s a phone number and an address on it.

There’s a machlokes between R’ Moshe Feinsten Zatzal and R” Aharon Kotler Zatzal. R’ Moshe held you light where you sleep. R’ Aharon held you light where you eat. Peacefull, as you pointed out, it’s dangerous to light in the dorm. This isn’t the only story I’ve heard about this happening. Therefore, a lot of yeshivos go like R’ Aharon
Sam2, According to what you’re saying, what’s wrong with having peanut butter on Pesach? I don’t know where you live, but wherever I go shopping for Pesach items, I won’t find kosher l’pesach peanut butter (or any other peanut products).
There’s a link on the side panel called Ride Sharing. You can check and see if anyone is going.

I’m a boy so I don’t really have a place on this thread. But I would recommend you to go to seminary. You may think you’re not missing any hashkafa but once you get there you’ll find a whole world out there that you didn’t know about. There are different seminaries for different types of girls. There are ones who are for girls like you who grew up in a solid torah home. There are ones for girls on a less hashkafic level and so on and so forth down to ones for girls who are newly baalei teshuva. Ask your teachers for help on where to go. You can continue to grow. (I also don’t know if you’re thinking about this now but it would do better for shidduchim if you went to seminary than college.)
the goq- lol. jwashing- Did you ever hear of Fiddler on the Roof?
Contact a shadchan and tell him/her what you’re looking for. Also, people try to suggest shidduchim to other people. So someone might suggest a shiddduch to you. Hatzlacha Rabba.
I don’t really know so much about Yeshiva Ohavei Torah. I have a friend who went there. That’s how I know about it.
Yeshiva of the Telshe Alumni (a.k.a Telshe Riverdale), Yeshiva Ohavei Torah
I did hear of that shita but I believe the Minhag Haolam is that corn and peanuts are kitniyos. (If potatoes would be kitniyos, Ashkenazim wouldn’t really be able to eat anything!) If I remeber correctly, the Kosher L’Pesach symbol on bamba says that it’s kitniyos.
I know someone who lives there. He says he feels safe living there, but he doesn’t know if anyone living in Yerushalyim would feel safe. Regarding traveling to, from Yerushalyim, he says it’s not as unsafe as it looks. I met him in Ramat Beit Shemesh, it’s about 40 minutes away by car. I really have no idea but it sounds like there’s not that frequent public transportation there. I just checked it online for you. You can google Ma`ale Amos and you’ll get a page from Gush Etzion that tells you about it. It says that Egged #165 comes there 4 times a day. You can also check out the egged website at egged. co. il (take out the spaces.)
rebdoniel, I’m not trying to hurt you in any way shape or form. Either you’re sefardi or they changed the recipe of bamba because bamba is made from peanuts which is kitniyos.
You can check out the nightly dvar torah thread. Additionally, here’s another dvar torah.
The Pasuk says ????? ?????? ???????? ???????? ?????? ?????????????. Rashi brings down the Medrash that says some say this pasuk is for good and some say it’s for bad. The meforshim who say it’s for bad say that he was a tzaddik in his dor but in the dor of Avraham Avinu he wouldn’t have been anything.
R’ Moshe Shternbuch Shlita in Sefer Taam V’daas asks, why does this mean bad, he was a tzaddik in his own dor, that’s good enough! What do we have to other generation? R’ Shternbuch answers that Noach would have been a tzaddik in a dor of Tzaddikim and forsure in dor of tzaddikim. But in the dor of Avraham Avinu, he wouldn’t be considered anything. Avraham Avinu had the middah of chesed. Noach didn’t have this middah and wouldn’t be considered anything in the dor of Avraham Avinu.
Maybe this is why Noach had to spend a year in the ???? doing chesed by feeding the animals.
I’m not sure if the mods allow this, but hatboxmenswear.com (or hatboxny)
Kova Hats on 13th Ave. in brooklyn ships hats. I believe The Hat box in new york also ships hats.
WIY I think spellcheck is broken. R’Paysach Krohn and R’ Fishel Schechter. Usually as far as I know they have inspiring stories, not exactlt moifsim.
There was a story that happened in Williamsburg about 40 years ago. There was a Yungerman who was very sick. He went around to different Rebbes and got many brachos. Baruch Hashem, he had a refua shelaim. Each circle of chassidim were trying to figure out which rebbe did the mofeis. One circle said their rebbe did it, another circle said their rebbe did it, etc. They went to the Satmar Rebbe and asked him, which rebbe did the mofeis. The sSatmar Rebbe answered that In Shamayim, it depends on how many chassidim said their rebbe did it. So the rebbe that had the most chassidim saying that their rebbe did it was the one that did the mofeis. But then the Satmar Rebbe said, “If you want to know the truth who did it, it was the Ribono Shel Olam, and He doesn’t have that many chassidim who say He did it.”
It sounds like a machlokes. On ywn, it says Chaim Ovadiah Yosef ben Georgia.( I believe it’s like the state Georgia, because that’s how the Sephardim pronounce Gimmel.) On other websites like matzav it says Chaim Ovadiah ben Georgia. Yosef is his family name, so in my opinion it would not be part of it. But however I have seen many bulletins say Chaim Ovadiah Yosef ben Georgia.
I’m not choshed anybody,(It’s none of my business) but what I don’t understand is how anybody could have posted on shabbos to begin with if it has to be approved by the mods anyway. When I turn on my computer after Shabbos, I assume that all the posts are due to the time change in other places (EY, England, etc.).
Honestly speaking, I thought that there is probably a thread for saying goodbye. There’s a thread for saying hello and a thread for saying mazel tov, why not a thread for saying goodbye? So I searched for a thread like that and found this thread.
I wasn’t here for eclipse’s last surprise goodbye party, so here is the real surprise goodbye party.
live right, I want to thank you for your chizuk even though it wasn’t directed at me. I recently went out on a date. I liked it, but the girl said no to another date.
ikno, I heard the non Jewish version of that joke. I like your version better. The non Jewish version is that there are 3 men waiting in the hospital waiting for their wives to give birth. The nurse walks out and says to the first man, “Congratulations, your wife gave birth to twins!”
He said, ” That’s fuuny, I work for the Minnesota Twins.”
Several minutes later, the nurse walks out again and says to the second man, “Congratulations, your wife gave birth to triplets!”
He said, That’s funny, I work for the 3M company.” (That’s the company that makes scotch tape.)
The third guy starts going insane, moaning and groaning. “I work for 7up!”
crazybrit- Why is it that people say they ‘slept like a baby’ when babies wake up like every two hours?
A friend of mine once told me once when he didn’t have a good night. “I slept like a baby. I woke up every hour and cried.”

It’s not a big deal why. Usually it’s because they have something to say and they forget that they have food in their mouth.
I was in Eretz Yisroel about a year ago and I went to visit Malcha Mall. There was a Toys R Us there so I went in to see what type of toys and games they sold there. One of the things that they were selling was an American Monopoly which came along with a free dictionary. I thought it was very funny.
This has not been updated since the last time I updated it which was a month and a half ago.
Here’s a Dvar Torah for Succos.I saw this several years ago and I found it very inspiring. It’s from Rabbi Shmuel Brazil.
Let us take this interpretation a step further. Rashi brings the Chazal that bakol is gematria ben 52 referring to the fact that Hashem blessed Avraham with a son. So we now see a further connection between the mitzvah of succah and the beracha of having a son, specifically Yitzchak. What is this new connection?
the month of Tishrei those clouds returned to Am Yisrael. This is the reason why Succos is in Tishrei.
According to the Gaon, Succos represents the Yom Tov that displayed that our teshuva was accepted. The Bnei Yissaschar writes that true teshuva only applies to Yidden and not to the goyim. The reason being because there is a halacha that states that a father can forgive [be mochail]
From matzav.com (you can go there and type in the search engine sukkos brazil for the full article)
I just checked the scholars list on AskMoses. Most of them I never heard of but one of them I know and he’s reliable.
Its muttar
Typing on a computer is muttar for anything as long as nothing is being printed out.
pixelate, you’re missing something on the other side, shlepping.
Imanonov, I have heard of that and was wondering if that’s what he meant.
