Re: MBD Racist? And Other Split Popcorn Quote from: ExGingi on January 06, 2017, 08:08:43 AM He should apologize and everyone should move on to discuss the horrific, racist, sub human, cruel, thing that occurred in Chicago (would I be considered racist if I mentioned it is BHO'S and Rahm Emanuel's home town?) and the sickening video of it. +1 this place is like the UN. You have overtly race /hate based cases of ugly violence and torture, human rights violation, mistreating disabled people etc. All well documented. But instead we have a unanimous resolution excoriating the fact that, in Israel, someone's feelings may have been hurt #proportion January 06, 2017, 08:23:21 AM	1

Re: Crayola’s Retiring One Of Their Crayons For The First Time Ever Quote from: ExGingi on March 30, 2017, 12:09:09 AM That's major news.

Re: Shlichus Addiction? Quote from: Yehuda57 on April 20, 2017, 05:52:58 PM I disagree with this. Preparation for shlichus is limud haTorah. It's not just my opinion, it's something I've heard from many shluchim including Berel Lazar, who you might think would have benefited from some sort of communications or politics class. To be sure, the Rebbe demanded shluchim use their talents and skills, and they should certainly hone those skills and improve them. But their job is to be mekabel pnei Moshiach tzidkeinu by being meifitz chassidus and getting yidden to do mitzvos. Their job is not to deliver speeches, give invocations, or write editorials. Sure, those are important tools, but they are only tools with which to impart all the knowledge they picked up in their years in yeshivah. As in my above example, a shliach's success is not due to his public speaking, writing or counseling acumen. When I was 14 years old on mivtzoim and a man sought my counsel on his failing business, troubled familial relationships and more, he obviously wasn't seeking my advice, but he was benefiting from my compassion. Not that I'm an especially kind personality, just that I happened to be the Rebbe's shliach to that person in that moment. And I did help him out, otherwise why would he keep seeking my counsel every week? My age, skills and knowledge had nothing to do with it, any comfort I brought to that Jew was with the power vested in me by the Rebbe. In many ways, shluchim are like audacious 14 year old know nothing kids. They are the Rebbe's men on the spot. Sure one might be able to deliver a pilpul, another a punchline, and yet another might be able to explain bilti baal gvul without illustrations. But the power they have to effect the world in the grand way they do comes from the Rebbe, and no amount of vocational training will change that. By the way, there are some yeshivas that do offer such classes. In fact, a relative of mine told me of a public speaking class in which they had to deliver a speech based on the techniques and skills learned in the class. He gave a speech which had all the bochurim laughing and engaged, but "failed" (I don't believe the class counted for anything) and upset the instructor who complained he didn't use the specific formula he had taught. Sure, each school could use improvement in any number of areas, just as that public speaking teacher probably wasn't the best guy for the job. But to say that a yeshivah that only teaches bochurim nigleh and chassidus without vocational instruction is not preparing them for shlichus is like saying a medical school that only teaches medicine without communication studies isn't preparing students to become doctors. Spot on! and whaddaya know? that same unadulterated לימוד תורה (preferably על טהרת הקודש) which prepares one so well for a life of shlichus, by imparting a knowledge and appreciation for hashem, his torah, and the awareness that אין עוד מלבדו, also happens to be a great prep for a life of a chassidisher balebos (perhaps even more so...), and for that matter, the best prep for a frum jewish life at all... and isn't that the 'core' of what shlichus should be about anyway?

Re: Usefulness of a BTL Quote from: cater613 on July 03, 2017, 07:43:55 PM Hi everyone. Our oldest son in finishing his 2nd year in a Beis Medrish in Lakewood. The yeshiva just got accredited for a BTL program. We would like for him to start taking some college classes in the fall, but, he is interested in staying for 2 more years and getting the BTL. Is the BTL a valid degree that he can use to get into grad school? We are BT's and have heard mixed reviews. Anyone out there want to give us some advice? Thanks!!! This may be a silly question, but does his age preclude him pursuing more traditional college education in 2 years, should you be dissatisfied with the BTL? Even if the arguments presented here about the deficiencies of a BTL are accurate, what is not disputed is that his opportunity to pursue full fledged Torah study for an additional 2 years is to his benefit in both Torah knowledge and proficiency as well as spiritual/moral formation. That, coupled with the possibility of the BTL being valuable (especially if he pursues a field or market other than the few where there is alleged suspicion) tripled with the fact that he hasn't yet chosen a path, quadrupled with the general benefit of waiting until a slightly more mature age/stage before entering college, I think it's a pretty safe wager.

Re: Please (Make and) Post your Kiddush Hashem-Honesty Story Quote from: YOSEF on July 06, 2017, 10:06:27 PM I don't know people here. And I'm not paskening any shailas. I will say that I always was under the impression that the ikur chillul/kiddush Hashem is how yidden will see it, not goyim. I also will say that returning aveidas akum is also not a simple matter from a halachic standpoint, and may be assur. As such, someone sharing a story that he was machzir aveidas akum, and thinks he made a kiddush HaShem, may in fact be making a chillul HaShem with said story. Either way, just to remind people, what we "feel" and what halacha requires of us, may be two extremely different things, and we should be careful to keep the goal in mind. /soap box go fight it out with ר שמעון בן שטח July 06, 2017, 10:18:05 PM	2

Re: PSA: Don't swipe recklessly for others It would seem that this rule may be fair in concept, but customers are much more encouraged, and likely to participate, when there are clear, transparent, universal rules, knowable in advance before pulling the trigger.

Re: PSA: Don't swipe recklessly for others Quote from: Yehuda57 on January 31, 2019, 08:22:34 PM I'm glad Dan seems to be writing a piece about this, and IMNSHO it should include buying groups. A look at that thread shows how things can go horribly wrong even with the best intentions. For many buyers, even those who have spent tens of thousands without incident, a loss of $1,000 is mammoth - life altering. A sudden price drop or a large order that isn't received in Delaware can spell disaster for so many. to put that another way: even if you're (blinded by the ROI and) decide to go forward, whether with buying groups, day trading, or 1,001 other scams, you need to keep in mind: never invest/lend what you cannot walk away from and afford to loose. come up with that number and don't deviate. with buying groups it may mean that in the busy BF or prime day season you're not able to maximize, but it'll keep you out of bankruptcy January 31, 2019, 08:30:08 PM	1

Re: Re: Impossible Burger 2.0 Quote from: yzj on April 04, 2019, 06:29:03 PM Anyone know where the CRC gets this from? “The other issue is that due to the weight and thickness of cast iron cookware, the metal will not get hot if one m erely dips into the hag’alah water for a few seconds. Rather, the items should be put into the boiling water and left there for l ong enough tha t the water itself comes back to a boil, which indicates that the cast iron itself has become heated to hag’alah temperatures.” You can kasher stone and wood which are much poorer conductors of heat than cast iron, and these things take a long time to conduct heat. (Just think- If you put a decent sized potato in boiling water it will take close to 30 minutes for the center of the potato to reach 200F). One would have to leave the stone or thick wood utensils in the boiling water for ages to get the center of the material to hagalah temperatures. Presumably as long as the water maintains its bubbling and it is al ha’aish it has the ability to draw out beliyos regardless of the utensils internal temperature. The same should hold true for cast iron. I get the need to bring the water back to boiling part since that is necessary for the hagalah to work, but that should have nothing to do with the cast iron utensils temperature. It’s been a while since I’ve gone through the sugya. Is there something I’m missing? I'd assume, just based on your excerpt: If they were worried about the internal temperature of the pot, their guidance is pretty weak, as you point out. more likely, potato/wood etc., being bad conductors, don't much cool the water even while remaining internally 'cool', hence the boiling will resume relatively quickly. Heavy cast iron, being a better conductor, will actually perceptibly cool the water, requiring a short wait until the water returns to boiling. Once the water is back to boiling, we no longer 'care' about the internal temp seems in psak they agree with you in any case, perhaps just poorly written explanation of the issue April 04, 2019, 07:17:45 PM	1

Re: Disabling Ring doorbell for shabbos To clarify my sequence comment : Regardless of what external display results, the very fact that the sensor noted a motion, sets in motion a programming sequence.

Just because on many of today's hot-button issues one side's positions are more at odds with ours than the other, doesn't obviate the fact that at the same time on other issues Torah's position may be in the opposite direction. remember the speech from the Monsey Rov following the attack? perhaps we're in greater danger of overlooking the insidious influence of those who we sometimes agree with than by taking an occasional lesson from someone whose other values are so obviously far from our own.
