Zaidy, your uncle is a door?
A great idea in theory, but who says the business owners are interested in hiring and that bochurim are interested in working? Most bochurim wouldn’t be interested in doing something like that.
E and S tours takes a tour every summer with Rabbi Paysach Krohn
supergirl613, you’re mixing up R’ Yosef Shalom Eliashiv shlita Yosef Sholom ben Chaya Musha. We’re talking about R’ Chaim Kanievsky shlita, Shmaryahu Yosef Chaim ben Pesha Miriam.
If you’re talking about the Ateret Torah in Brooklyn, it’s sephardi and the Rosh Yeshiva is a very chashuv person Rabbi Yosef Harrari-Raful. It’s a good place from what I’ve heard about it. I know several guys who went there and they have all turned out to be bnei torah.
Gevald! Another Middos Alert!
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/Israeli+News/122879/Rav-Chaim-Shlita-Released-from-Bnei-Brak-Hospital.html I’ll still continue for the next couple days
R’ Gettinger’s yeshiva (he was the Rosh Yeshiva in South Bend and moved to Lakewood and started a new yeshiva), R’ Newman’s yeshiva, and plenty of others
I’ll say mine every day until he gets better. He should have a refuah shelaima
I’d be willing to say it daily but I don’t know what everyone else wants to do. Gumball,yitayningwut what do you think?
I said gimmel and daled, yiddishemeidel you can say hey.
I don’t know what number you’re up to before me but I’ll take the next two after the post before mine
The Vilna Gaon said that we should not decorate our Shuls with greenery on Shavuos even though the Rema paskened in Shulchan Aruch (OC 494:3) that we should. The reason he says is because the non-Jews have “stolen” this minhag and we don’t want to be like them. Many argue that since we did it first, why should we care what other religions do?
Rav Mordechai Epstein brings proof from a Rashi to the Gra. It says in the Pasuk (Devarim 16:22) that we should not bring a Korban on a Matzeivah, even to Hashem, because Hashem hates it. Rashi says that although the Avos did it and Hashem loved it, now that others have adapted it as part of their service, Hashem despises it. We see from here that even something that was considered a mitzva can become despised once non-Jews take it on for their worship.

I think it’s true. The proof that it was staged is that by the video of neal armstrong, the flag is flapping and how can it be flapping if there’s no gravity. The reason why it was flapping is because it was tied to the spaceship. I’m sure you read all this on the web. Why would you think otherwise, I don’t know.
There’s a large kollel in Cleveland Heights headed by Rabbi Boruch Hirschfeld and Rabbi Grunwald (I forgot his first name). There’s also a kollel in Denver which has about 10 yungerleit, along with baalebaatim who come during morning seder. In Chicago, there are several large kollelim-Chicago Community Kollel, Adas Yeshurun (Choshen Mishpat Kollel), Telshe Yeshiva, Kollel Ohel Torah.
Also I think there’s a large kollel in Miami.
The meam loez is in Devarim chaf zayin chof vov (which is quoted by lothar above)at the end of the paragragh that starts ???? and he says “People are noheg to point with the finger zeres over the ksav and to kiss it.” I think zeres is the pinky but I could be wrong
I would think that there is Maris Ayin issues and also you have to see that it’s just coffee, not coffee latte or something like that and they didn’t use anything that was used for treif to clean it. But don’t pasken from here, ask your local kashrus organization or rov
Toi, f you look in the piskei Tshuvos on the bottom, he brings down a yalkut Meam Loez in Devarim that says the minhag. I once looked it up but I don’t remember if he brings down with the pinky or just a finger. He also brings down sefer Hachaim by R’ Chaim Palagi, which Jothar quoted. So there is a mekor but some people still question whether it’s necessary to do this
I said this over at the Shabbos table. Everyone thought it was very good. Thanks for posting
Sam2, you’re thinking of how big the dough has to be in order to take challah. I think always runs with scissors is asking What’s the actual amount that you have to take off
According to the Artscroll Siddur, it’s a kzayis. Also to learn brachos, I would recommend Rabbi Bodner’s Sefer on brachos and also Vezos Habracha by R’ Alexander Mandelbaum if you can read the hebrew. Rabbi Binyomin Forst’s sefer on brachos is also very good
Maybe it will take place after shkia so it will be counted as the next day’s daf
I was going to say lakewood, but sorry I didn’t see brotherofurs. Antwerp
Moshiach please come, Shalom Aleichem and welcome to the CR. I’m also kind of new here.

Good Shabbos to everyone in the coffeeroom
Go right ahead. No one is going to stop you impersonating yourself
It can be pressured at times. Everyone can go according to the way they can go. Bochurim can go for 10 hours a day. In my personal opinion, it’s because they take breaks during the day. It’s not 10 hours a day straight, but it’s broken up. Also. for the time tnat you do learn straight, you have a solid chavrusa. Yungerleit can go learn all day if that’s how they can run. Some people can’t learn all day.
I’m Ashkenazi
You can take a shower if it’s for hygiene. You can’t take a shower if it’s for pleasure. I’m not a posek, but I think that you can use warm water. Everybody should ask their rav. Personally, nowadays in the heat that is engulfing the US, you can’t go for a week and a half without a shower. Even if you want to wait until Friday l’kavod Shabbos, that’s kind of crazy.
It’s probably just too hard to change the flow from going off to going on in 3 weeks time. It’s easier for one continuos flow
WIY is right. That’s what I meant
