They sell Kosher Food at Disney. Each park has one restaurant where they sell Kosher Food. Its basically airline food double wrapped (so they can heat it for yo
Ask information at each disney park where the kosher food is.
Also if you stay at Disney and order a meal plan, one of the plans is Kosher
Not to heal but Dudaim are mentioned
Obviously Resh lakish repented and became a Tanah.
he was a robber before he was a tanah
BTW How come nobody is protesting the restaurant TRAIF in Williamsburg.
Do you advocate vandalizing the restaurant?
Civil rights for an Orthodox jew is leaving work early Friday, Not working on Saturday. taking off for Yom Tom etc (Dont think this is always so easy, even in NY)
Rosa Parks practiced NON-VIOLENCE, so if a bunch of bochrim sat in front of an H & M store until the sign came down, THATS non-violence.
Disfiguring a Sign in VADALISM
Perhaps you should try it, Its alot easier than you think to ignore stuff you see around the city.
You see one billboard you’ve seen them all and they all look the same just a blur
Walking / driving / taking the Subway in NYC you see all kinds of billboards and signs
Men / Women / Animals / Religious / Political etc.
No billboard turns me into a frankenstein or some sort of monster. If I see a billboard I just ignore it. Not only do I ignore it, Ask me 2 mins later what the billboard was about, i wouldnt remember. I could even pass the same billboard everyday and would have no idea what the billboard was.
One would need a heter to Do something as opposed to do nothing.
It is not an averieh to think about eating treif, its only an averieh if you actually eat trief
<i> Or, of course, they could just not look. But yes, lichatchila one should not walk in a place where he knows there will be inappropriately dressed women if he can avoid it. <i>
Like anywhere in NYC, that isnt Borough Park
While you are at it, you can look up the Halachos of Damaging someone elses property.
Which Averia?
If seeing a Woman wearing pants is an averira, Most people would be sinning every time they walk the streets.
What Sin is caused be the picture of woman in pants being there??
Which one of the 613 Mitzvos was violated by the picture being there
So is it OK for people to deface the “Tzniut” Sign in Kiryat Joel that many locals did not Like
It has been VERY unpopular with people in the surrounding communities
I can see the Schar they will get
Did you Obey the law of the Land (dinah dmalchusa Dinah) NO
Did you damage someone elses property and not pay for the damage? NO
Did you let yourself get photographed comming vanadalism (Chilul Hashem) YES
Yes, they will get Schar, Lots of It
If they ever got arrested, besides any other punishment (jail, Community Service, Probation etc) they would be forced to pay restitution as well
And that can be garnished from wages, removed from Bank Accounts etc
You’d better give triple…..
And you’d better pay to fix the damage for the vandalism as well
Would YOU give your Maaser Money for this “Pidyon Shivum”?
There is a tzniut sign in Kiryat Joel that many people do not like.
What if someone from nearby went over to that sign (The Sign is on private property) and defaced it.
Would you be in favor of this??
When you EARN money from a real job, you appreciate it more.
I watch some of the comments regarding this and the tutition and its clear many do not earn their own money.
Its easy to spend other peoples money. I have the right to spend my money as I please (Assuming its “kosher”) If I wish to eat meat, I should be allowed to, If I want to go on vacation I should be allowed to. And If I want to or not want to give to a yeshiva AFTER tutition is paid. Its my right and its my right as a parent of a kid in the school to know where the money is being spent.
Do you know the Maccabeats got 5 MILLION hits for the Chanuka Song and 500,000 hits for the Purim Song on You tube
They were on national TV during Chanuka WITH their Kippot.
Can you think of a better Persume Nisah than that.
Dont listen or sing Maoz Tsur, Its 12th Century Germanic Church Music.
Dont get Married, The usual song when the Chosson and Kallah come out is Baker Street or Final Countdown
Dont be a Chabadnick, One of their Niggunim is La Marseillaise (The French National Anthem)
Language means alot
What is the opposite of FREI?
It in itself is a powerful word and says alot
How about the FDNY and NYPD members who ran up the WTC AFTER they were hit by the planes and many gave up their lives to save others
There are 50 Japanese volunteers fighting the nuclear meltdown of a reactor in Japan
These people are doing so at great risk to their own lives so that others will not be harmed.
edited. We get a little touchy about outside links.
<i>crab!!!!!! why would anyone want to eat anything that is copying somthing not kosher just knowing that its imitation crab sounds gross.
Anyone tried facon bacon sounds yummy? Huh? <I>
I belive you are not supposed to say YUCH , Disgusting , but rather I really want to eat that Crab or Lobster but that the TORAH forbids it.
Why would anyone want to eat those imitation crab things anyway, they taste like Rubber
Depends where you live , where the line is
If you live in Williamsburg the line is very different than if you live in Teaneck.
I dont drink Coffee (I HATE it) but maybe in Williamsburg its forbidden but in Teaneck it is.
I know in my neighborhood Carvel or Stone Cold Creamery is perfectly acceptable (BOTH have Hasghcha in the store ), but I am not sure they would do well in Borough Park.
Most Chasiddim might not go to a Ball Game, but in other communities the local orthodox Shul might even have a group outing to a game
If you dont know goyish music, how would you know you didnt come out to those songs?
You can deny it all you want, But I hear them all the time at yeshivish Weddings (and I mean LAKEWOOD yeshivish People)
I am sure 99% of the people did not know where the song came from as they are played in Simcha Style
Baker Street is more Jazz (It really Needs a Saxaphone to played properly) and Simcha Music is different and doesnt use a Saxaphone
Baker Street, The Final Countdown or the Hawaii Five Oh TV Show theme (Another Popular enterance song) are not really dancing songs
Actually its likely easy to tell which song you came out to, Just watch the Video or DVD. The song will be in the backround
<i> If a bit of non-kosher food fell into kosher food, would you take a little bite to see if the taste is recognizable? <i>
So I guess all those frum couples who came out of the Yichud room to Baker Street or The Final Countdown are treif?
I bet if you were married in the last 20 years you came out to one of those songs too
I guarentee you know those songs, Go to youtube and look for Baker Street and The Final Countdown by Europe (Dont worry they are sung by men) and you will instantly recognize them
I forgot some do come out to the Final Countdown by Europe.
I guess the last wedding I was at, it was Baker Street so it was in my head.
I wonder how many people in the audience knew what the song really was (It was a VERY yeshivish crowd)
After a hemish couple gets married and they are introduced as Mr and Mrs for the first time
The song played by the band is BAKER STREET by Gerry Rafferty.
EVERY Hemish wedding plays that song as the first song when the couple come out of the Yichud room
FYI
If you Made Aliyah and your last known US address was NY, you are allowed to vote via abstentee Ballots in NY elections
(There have been campaigning in Israel , Particually in 2000 for Jews from Florida who had Made aliyah)
I dont ride the subway everyday anymore, but when I did almost every day there was a “Subway Preacher”.
The train is an express train and there was no place to move as the train is packed so changing cars is impossible.
And these people are LOUD. I have no idea how someone could be so loud as to be louder than a packed loud Subway train.
And it was worse if they were standing right near me when they begin to preach , Can burn a hole in your ear.
At least at the ballpark you can move, you cant on the crowded subway train.
I ride the Subway, I walk the streets of NYC.
Ive seen fights in the Subway, Ive seen bad language, Beggers you name it. Probably more than Ive seen than at a sporting event.
Just walking the streets of NYC you are bound to see or hear someone use bad language.
The Giants do not have cheerleaders, The Jets do though.
Where beer is served, there will always be rowdy fans, But on Sunday Day Games its mostly families. People going to a game with their wives and children do not drink and use bad language.
Most people are decent enough not to behave badly in front of children
The Chofetz Chaim Chinese auction next week is auctioning some Yankee Tickets and the Bais Yaakov of Far Rockaway at their chinese auction offered some Yankee tickets.
They sell real Kosher Food at Yankee, Mets and Football games. (Mets and Football under Vaad of Queens, Yankees I am not sure since I am not a yankee fan)
(Madison Square garden refused to get a Kosher vendor)
They usually have minyanim at or near the Kosher stands and you always see people with kipot at the events (especially Baseball Games) , Most of them are more modern types, I dont see as many “black hatters” at the game.
If you think its Bitul Torah you will never approve.
Obviously the Vaad of Queens would not give Hasghcha unless their Rabbis Approved of it
I am a big sports fan and go to games occasionaly and take my daughter sometimes
I am not charedi, but I can say this.
If you go to a SUNDAY AFTERNOON BASEBALL game , most of the fans there are familes and behave as such. People generally behave nicely when kids are around
Everytime Ive been to a Hockey game there is a fight, sometimes the fight goes from the Ice to the stands. I havent been to a Hockey game in about 10 years, but it never failed until then.
Ive been to a couple of Giants games this year. At one game there was a Redskins fan, using bad language and bad gestures. My daughter did not like it at all and refuses to go with me to a Football game again.
People seemed to misbahve most at Hockey and Football games
If you go from Brooklyn to Staten Island the toll is $13 , If you go to Manhattan, New Jersey and then Staten Island the toll is as low as $2.
OP wanted a way to save alot of money
The Basic Directions, Mapquest or GPS will give exact directions
but here is the basic gist
Take the Holland tunnel Across to Jersey . You then take NJ Turnpike to Bayonne (Cost 50 Cents) or there is a way via roads to get to Bayonne.
Go to Bayonne Bridge back to Staten Island and take Staten Island Expressway to get to Ferry.
