pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is a really long word.
As a teen, I was randomly flipping through a dictionary (before the days of the Internet) and came across this word.  Of course, I had to memorize it when I realized how long it was.   I understood it to be a lung disease one might get from breathing in microscopic volcanic particles.  TIL that it may not actually exist.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

I don't think I knew that either.

I'm sure they got a good deal on it at some point, or some sort of family package. No way they'd pay full price...

In Belz, by Shachris you start נקדישך and switch to כתר by קדוש.
Mincha is כתר.
