  • in reply to: How to weave a lulav holder #816684

    oh….

    nevermind

    in reply to: How to weave a lulav holder #816682

    you dont wave it separately from the Arbah Minim. you just grasp it and wave it along with the Lulav, etc. thats why its called a Lulav holder.

    there is no Minhag to wave it separately, so i dont think anyone can tell you the correct way to do that, if you want to for some reason

    in reply to: What Is Your Favorite Part of Yom Tov? #816971

    i wish i was on a madreiga where i could answer something more “holy”

    but my favorite part is taking afternoon naps in the Sukkah on Chol HaMoed

    in reply to: THANK YOU HASHEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(BY:GUMBALL)!!!!!;) #817358

    Mods?

    reminds me of Dovod HaMelechs dancing in the streets with abandon with his love of Hashem, and his wife (Michal i think) wrongly criticized him for his lack of decorum

    in reply to: Doctor #816295

    lactose intolerance has nothing to do with sensitivity or allergy.

    it is the genetic lack of an enzyme which is necessary to break down lactose in the intestine.

    allergies have to do with the bodys overreaction of the immune system to a particular foreign molecule

    in reply to: Doctor #816293

    yep sounds like an allergy

    in reply to: Doctor #816291

    there is such a thing as a milk allergy but most people who supposedly have this are actually lactose intolerant, which can not be treated by allergy shots

    in reply to: Is it mutar to tie a string to the schach? #816122

    i dont think kavua is the problem, i think kavua is a problem in re to the Schach not the Succah

    in reply to: Is it mutar to tie a string to the schach? #816120

    im totally guessing here

    im an am haaretz in regard to these Halachos

    maybe because the house is considered karka

    and the stake is a cli?

    in reply to: Modern Orthodoxy at a crossroads #817556

    jothar your logic is flawed

    perhaps he holds that women ARE kosher for aidus and are therefore kosher for dayanus.

    it would come out then, that he is arguing on the Torah, not on Gedolim.

    in reply to: Modern Orthodoxy at a crossroads #817554

    youre right toi

    im sorry

    but there was an important toeles

    in reply to: Modern Orthodoxy at a crossroads #817548

    true.

    i personally think Rabbi Akiva Eiger, tz’l was mistaken in many of his Tshuvim, i have better answers, but i certainly respect his right to have his opinion as well.

    in reply to: Is it mutar to tie a string to the schach? #816115

    Basically, it doesn’t hold the schach down in a “ruach metzuah”, but it does so in a “ruach she’aino metzuah”, and therefore is permissable

    i had this shaila and asked a Posek

    he answered as you yourself concluded

    and as haleivi stated.

    although he said if possible i should use lulav leaves to tie it down, which i was unable to do.

    in reply to: The name and number of… #815895

    keep trying to reach a Posek

    in reply to: The name and number of… #815892

    please, please

    the following is from an article in the nyt

    EVERY CASE IS DIFFERENT

    but if you are unable to reach a Posek who is familiar with eating disorders, and only as an emergency, i found this

    in reply to: Sleeping in the Sukkah #816912

    dont know of any heterim for bochrim specifically

    i believe we are all called an istinus today in america

    perhaps tzar from the cold

    fear of muggers, animals

    inability to sleep due to those and other discomforts

    dont know really

    in reply to: Yom kippur video #815574

    dont know

    my browser doesnt say anything but im using ie7, i have no choice in this.

    i doubt if they would put this on a dangerous site

    but if you can look into it and find a problem ill remove the link

    in reply to: Sleeping in the Sukkah #816908

    there are numerous heterim

    many Poskim say if your wife, who may not have a Mitzvah to sleep in the Sukkah, wishes not to, then the husbsnd has a heter to not sleep in the Sukkah, and it may even be preferable to NOT sleep in the Sukkah, as that is not his normal way of life to sleep apart.

    similar to those who eat in the Sukkah (not the first night) when it is raining, who are called fools.

    in reply to: Forgive Me- Song #815370

    The final day of judgement is right ahead

    Reflecting on my actions, the words I’ve said

    I’m beginning to feel the rush

    I’m welled up with emotions, I’m insecure

    Even with this preparation, I don’t know for sure

    If it could ever be enough

    But I can only do my best

    And You’ll determine the rest

    I’m standing

    Before You

    I’m bending on my knees

    I’m trying

    To reach You

    And I’m begging, please

    Forgive me

    Forgive me

    I’m bending on my knees

    Forgive me

    Forgive me

    Yes, I’m begging please

    Forgive me

    Teshuva, Tefillah, Tzedakah is what I yearn

    Just changing my direction with a single turn

    Can completely change my fate

    The crying of the Shofar, a song so pure

    Reminds me that You’re knocking, waiting at the door,

    I just hope I’m not too late

    But I can only do my best

    And You’ll determine the rest

    I’m standing

    Before You

    I’m bending on my knees

    I’m trying

    To reach You

    And I’m begging, please

    Forgive me

    Forgive me

    I’m bending on my knees

    Forgive me

    Forgive me

    I’m bending on my knees

    Forgive me

    Forgive me

    Yes, I’m begging please

    Forgive me

    sam2

    youre talking about sugar-alcohols

    they are found only in “sugarless” or diet candies

    regular candy doesnt have that problem

    and even with “sugarless” candie youd have to eat a very large amount to even have a minor effect

    did you forget to take our medicine again this morning?

    in reply to: tomo yeshiva #815158

    of course my sweet children

    i have no place for anger within my soul

    it is too filled with love, for anything else to be there.

    i just wanted to show you how ugly anger can be

    it was so hard for me to do it but my love knows no bounds

    perhaps i was too harsh?

    oh i surely hope not

    goodness no

    It’s our choice how we’d like to see things

    as in the Gemorah where the Rebbe says to his Talmidim: notice how white its teeth are.

    in reply to: Help! My child can't fall asleep at night #814881

    you really want to give that stuff to your kids because they have trouble falling asleep lately?

    even if the nature magazines ARE full of glowing testimonials (and hugely marked up prices)

    in reply to: Help! My child can't fall asleep at night #814880

    by the way adorable melanin and melatonin are two totally different things

    melatonin is a hormone that is probuced in the brain and circulates throughout the body

    melanin is a pigment found predominantly in the skin.

    in reply to: Help! My child can't fall asleep at night #814879

    melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland of the brain and has effects on other hormones of the body

    “The effect of melatonin on reproductive systems can be summarized by saying that it is anti-gonadotropic. In other words, melatonin inhibits the secretion of the gonadotropic hormones luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone from the anterior pituitary. Much of this inhibitory effect seems due to inhibition of gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus, which is necessary for secretion of the anterior pituitary hormones.”

    in reply to: Help! My child can't fall asleep at night #814878

    from the mayo clinic:

    “melatonin side effects may include:

    Daytime sleepiness, Dizziness, Headaches, Abdominal discomfort, Confusion, Sleepwalking, Nightmares.

    Melatonin may interact with various medications, including:

    Blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants), Immunosuppressants, Diabetes medications, Birth control pills.

    It’s thought that taking melatonin for longer than two months may be harmful, and the best dose of melatonin isn’t certain.

    If you take melatonin, make sure the supplements are made of artificial ingredients, not made from animals. Melatonin from animals can contain viruses or other contaminants.”

    in reply to: The Beauty of Artscroll #814817

    thats true

    i plan to email them with the kapitlach that my Shul is noheg to say so they can make a Machzor just for us. my muscles are getting sore from all that page turning and trying to support such a heavy Machzor. i just cant figure out why they would include kapitlach that i am not noheg to say.

    in reply to: Help! My child can't fall asleep at night #814874

    as far as my speculation as to your giving your children high doses of vit d, i see i misread your post and i apologize.

    as far as YOUR conjecture of my lack of knowledge of vitamins and how they differ from pharmaceuticals, i assure you that you are very wrong.

    in reply to: Help! My child can't fall asleep at night #814873

    I will reiterate: Don’t just lump all pills into the same catagory and label them as bad!!

    and i reiterate, i did not lump them all into one category, and i didnt label them all as bad, e.g. i clearly stated that herbal treatments can be effective.

    if you read the beginning of my post you will see that my entire point was not that the contents of pills are what i was particularly objecting to but on the reliance on them to treat normal life events.

    in reply to: Help! My child can't fall asleep at night #814870

    on the other hand there is some validity to HERBAL medicine. of this there is no doubt, although its very, very difficult to separate the truth from the hype about how to use them.

    but VITAMINS as therapeutic agents. pure quackery

    in reply to: Help! My child can't fall asleep at night #814869

    its not the content of the pill i am referring to, its the reliance on pills, whatever chemical they contain, for the solving of normal life experiences.

    and there is nothing magical about vitamins

    they are CHEMICALS that our bodies need in minimal amounts for proper functioning. more than that amount they do nothing.

    because vit a is necessary for vision to function it does not mean that vit a given in high doses will improve vision

    there was a strong (well deserved) backlash against the medical establishment at its heday about 40 years ago. but instead of learning that we need to deal with the causes of problems, we the laymen can just use vitamins instead of pharmaceuticals. we can be in control of our health, not the doctors!

    it went over big and became a billion dollar industry

    replete with multi-million dollar budgets for madison avenue advertising (very well disguised as “holistic”, caring experts)

    to squeeze money out of an ignorant public anxious to become their own health care providers

    vit c was the wonder pill of the seventies, then vit e of the eighties and nineties. both proven again and again to be useless in quantities greater than the minimum to prevent deficiencies.

    now its vit D

    i bet you give your kids vit d in high doses, dont you?

    its the latest overhyped vitamin fad

    even the doctors are prescribing it (if you cant lick em join em)

    in reply to: tomo yeshiva #815148

    you can call me m-80 if you want

    in reply to: Help! My child can't fall asleep at night #814866

    i dont like the idea of giving the child a pill to help him fall asleep, not at all.

    he will be indoctrinated by the medical establishment soon enough that for every problem there is a pill.

    i dont care if the pill is calcium or melatonin or a placebo, this is NOT a good idea for the child, and not a good idea for you to look to pills to solve your childs problems.

    in reply to: Egalitarian Minyan; As Bad As Reform? #815302

    to defend sam2 for a change,

    totally due to my ignorance of what some people deem an insult
