I flew Aeroflot JFK-TLV last February, no issues with davening in nearby gate, you probably won't be alone. I checked 4-5 bags (3 people), all checked bags came through. They do a pretty thorough security check in SVO for TLV bound flights.

Thanks!!

What do you mean by "They do a pretty thorough security check in SVO for TLV bound flights."?

when I flew through SVO , we davened right at the gate. Had a packed minyan. Its a popular leg because of heap tickets to TLV, so chances are youll have a full minyan, Oh and we also had a kumzits after davening.

Thanks!!

@JoeyShmoe any ideas?

Should be doable, might even update the original one to detect whether you're on amazon or walmart.

I'll look into it.

Reviving an old thread...

I'll be flying Aeroflot to Israel next week with a short stop in SVO, I have 2 questions and would appreciate any help:

• Is there a place I can comfortably Daven Shachris in Terminal D or I should just look for a less busy gate?
• I'm debating whether I should pack a suitcase besides for my carry-on, what's Aeroflot's record on suitcases making it through on connecting flights? I don't want to take a chance of having issues

Thanks in advance

I can tell you that where I daven someone who does that will be told to wait until after davening is over.

I've done that before, but it made me feel really bad since I don't know what that person is going through, and I might upset them. But when I'm asked I always say to wait for after Davening is over

If I sous vide fish (using a machine which wasn't used for meat in a few months), would there be a problem having Milchig with the fish?

Any way to request a garbage pickup? My landlord didn't take it out this week and it was already overflowing

With the whole discussion, seems like you didn't actually get an answer to your question (besides someone mentioning a $45 option)

It has happened to me before, and I called the DPW and they came the same day, at no charge. Call them at 732-905-3405

I know I'm late to the conversation, this is good for future reference

Excellent. It's an example. Many other ways it can manifest itself. The point is to be דן לכף זכות, or better yet not to be דן whatsoever, but to show love and kindness to every Jew. Ignore all visible aspects, just see that every Yid is like a בן יחיד of the רבונו של עולם!

Brings up an interesting point (at least in my mind), the Mishna says והוי דן את כל האדם לכף זכות, which makes it sound like it's more important to judge favorably rather than not judge, OTOH not passing any judgement seems more righteous...

Hmmmmm

I have this shoe in 10.5W, seems like I need an 11W. Anybody want to exchange for something similar or buy it for the price I paid?

I'm in Lakewood

Is it because it's a prime now product! Or shouldnt make a difference?

Looks like they use a total different styling for Prime Now. I'll dig into it when I get a chance. Shouldn't be too hard to crack

It's a prime now product, but the funny part is that the text appears but no link.

https://primenow.amazon.com/dp/B07BZPGHYR?

The button comes up that way because they manually changed the style for buttons. You can still click on the link...

... although, this has a totally different page style, so something is broken and errors when you click on the link
