If I remember correctly, Esther invited Achasveirosh and Haman to the party, Esther told Achasveirosh that Haman was plotting to kill out Am Yisroel, Charvonah told Achashveirosh that Haman made a gallows for Mordechai, Achashveirosh said Hang him, and they hung him on that day. It’s the last pasuk in Perek Ches (I think it’s ches) and then afterwards Esther went to Achashveirosh, changed the gezeira and they hung the 10 sons of Haman on Purim.

I don’t think you can download R’ Bess’s list online, you’ll have to call them. Google Kehilas Yaakov and that’s their website. It says you have to contact them to receive a list. I have the booklet in front of me and it says

Methylphenidate Tablet made by Malinckrodt/tyco,

concerta tablets made by Ortho-Mcneil Jannsen.

The first one is called Elaka D’meir Aneini. The third one is called Ashrei Mi Shegadloi Batorah. The last one is called Yisroel B’tach Bashem.

It’s not the problem that he sings for mixed audiences but the fact that the audience is mixed, there’s no mechitza and if someone sings for mixed audiences it means that he’s participating in it and he supports that. I never understood what lipa does because when he first started singing i heard that his rebbe told him not to sing for mixed audiences and that’s why he did videos for hasc so he wouldn’t be there. However, later on in his career he started singing for mixed audiences, so I don’t really know what’s going on, it’s not really my business to know what he does. However, that’s one of the reasons why rabbonim today have assur’d concerts, because usually it’s a mixed audience.

farrockgrandma- That was awhile ago wasn’t it?

I heard this story from a grandson of R’ Chaim Stein.

R’ Chaim got a call when that an einekel was niftar. He was 90 years old, he had gone through the war losing family members and now he got this call that his grandson was niftar. After he got the call, he sat down, he could barely stand. He asked a grandson who was in the room to help him stand up. He helped him stand up, and R’ Chaim made the brocha of Dayan Haemes, sat back down, and then he started crying. He held in the crying until after the bracha.

The grandson who told this over said that he thinks what happened here is that R’ Chaim zatzal went through the war,and tragedies fell upon him. He always wanted to reaffirm ol malchus shamayim. Now he’s 90 years old and another tragedy happened he wanted to reaffirm ol malchus shamayim. Once he did that, Now he can start crying.

There are some really goood haggadas out there that have commentaries in english. Rabbi Yechiel Spero has one called Touched by the Seder, Rabbi Twerski has one called From Bondage to Freedom,The Sfas Emes Haggada etc. the list goes on.

In Judaism there are 4 types of fish: Gefilte Fish, Salmon, Whitefish and Litvish. Gefilte Fish goes onto the stove, Salmon goes into the oven, whitefish goes into the fridge and Litvish goes into the freezer.

There was a man who tried finding every kula (leniency) he could find. When he went up to shamayim they told him “You’re going to Gan Eden.” When he got to Gan Eden, he saw a dark prison cell with bread and water. He said “This is Gan Eden?!” They answered him, “According to some shitos.”

from the Artscroll Gemara. It comes up in Gittin when you enter chutz laaretz in one of these things if you’re tamei or not. It also comes in bava kamma and in hilchos tumah (as we see in gittin)

I googled lyrics to Light up the nights miami boys choir and found this.

The scene was set back when,

A group of fearless men

Stood up for their beliefs

and risked their lives.

They acted with one voice,

and firmly made a choice,

this nation be ensured,

That it survive.

Their prayers were answered each day,

Their minds fixed on their destination,

With victory they made their way,

No longer deprived,

At last they arrived,

To a miracle lasting for all generations!

1, 2, 3, Fo-ur, 5, 6, 7, 8!

CHORUS:

Light up the nights!

The candles burning bright,

On the festival of lights,

here on Chanukah

Our nation as a whole,

Can reach a common goal

With the fire in our souls,

the light of Chanukah!

2nd time – Chorus

We answer to one name,

Our Heritage the same,

The power of the flame,

The light of Chanukah

We face a daunting task,

One that we cannot mask,

A danger just as real as it was then.

lets stand with open eyes,

To hear our brothers cries

And courage now is needed once again

Let’s carry our banner with pride,

For this freedom how long we have waited.

With the words of the torah our guide,

If we stand as one, It can be undone,

Just think of the wonders that can be created!

147, I’m not sure what you’re talking about. It’s the Monday Thursday Monday of the week after Rosh Chodesh which is Parshas Lech Lecha and Vayera

I put on without a brocha and take them off after kedusha

Are you referring to any camp gan israel in any city or somewhere specific? Chabad runs them all over the US. Is that what you’re talking about?

Maybe I’m crazy but I keep on doing this problem and I keep on coming out to 15. 1+1=2 +1=3 +1=4 +1=5 + 1=6 + 1=7 + 1=8 + 1=9 + 1=10 – 1=9 + 1=10 + 1=11 + 1=12 + 1=13 + 1=14 + (1 x 0)=15

In E”Y, if you keep one day of Yom tov, shemini was read last week and Tazria-metzora is this week. However, in chutz laaretz, Shemini is read this week.

There is a pnei yehoshua (I think it’s in shabbos or beitzah) that says it’s muttar to smoke on yom tov because it’s good for the digestive system and therefore it’s a davar haveh l’chol nefesh. R’ Eliashiv shlita in his sefer on Kesuvos says that this pnei yehoshua was bizmanam when they thought it was healthy to smoke. However, nowadays, since we know that it’s mazik l’nefesh it’s not a davar shava l’chol nefesh and therefore it would be assur to smoke on yom tov.

The Gemara says that you shouldn’t leave E”Y but nowadays we’re in galus it might be different ask your rav.

I definitely don’t think it’s muttar to smoke, in fact I think it’s assur gamur. But I was in E”Y and the streets are filled with people smoking and it’s a total israeli mentality that whenever you want you can stop and take a smoke break. You see kids not looking older than 12 smoking. On yom tov, everyone smokes it’s like a total heter. I’ve haven’t seen any sign in E”Y about smoking but I’ve seen signs about plenty of other things. In America everyone seems so more towards assur and all against it. Thank you the little I know for posting about Chaim lelo ishun. I guess I should check that out.

On the cd Journeys 3, abie rotenberg sings that “music will always be remembered on audio cassette and compact disc.” Now it’s 20 years later, tapes are obsolete and cds might go that way too if everyone buys downloads. It’s possible that books will go obsolete and bookstores can go bankrupt, but it would take some time. It’s definitely possible but hopefully it won’t happen for a long time.

R’ Doniel Neustadt holds that writing on a computer screen is not considered a ksav. When you write on a piece of paper, the ink goes on the paper. Ksav means attaching ink to a paper. On a computer screen,letters that appear on the screen are not being attached to the screen.

gr8 masmid, isn’t the problem with this that when you take the foil off after pesach, it will smell bad?
