I don’t.

That is why it is noteworthy that the overpass is now water-covered.

On the contrary, I don’t think the CR is serious enough. Everyone stop laughing, and get a grip on life. We don’t even discuss half the worlds issues in this place.

This is where some people come to get away from serious life for a while.

I think I’d be happy to talk about any issue I can do something about…

And why might we think that you are a posek, Jewish Thinker?

(Do all others not need such a subtitle?)

Mods, I don’t suppose I can get my old account back?

2 of 4 (certain parties were responsible for the delay):

I’m not here to answer any questions, I’m just asking you to think

Are we really better off now that technology has brought us global warming?

And the ethics of the application of all this scientific knowledge,

where should it come from?

Decisions about scientific research are funded by politicians with agendas

Or by corporate boardrooms governed without concern for human beings,

just what the yen does

And the results have been fantastic,

particularly if you judge by how much money has been made

You’re right about “gegeiben,” but the first chorus is slightly

different from the later ones – it doesn’t have “mir,” and it

starts with “Ubber” instead of “Oy, vee.”

I’ve seen it written that the Open Orthodox are following in the footsteps of the Conservative movement. I assume that’s what was meant.

Heh. That song’s been sitting on my desktop since the linked thread.

(I’m afraid you’ve made some mistakes, Skripka…)

(It seems that how I transliterate Yiddish has changed. Whatever –

I assume you’re going to listen to the song.)

Verse 1:

Der kop fil mit zorgen (The head filled with worries)

Fin nechten biz morgen (From yesterday to tomorrow)

Die kinderlach vaksen doch gur azoy gich (The children grow… [IDK. So fast?])

Die yooren antloifen doch (The years run away)

Dos leiben fahrkoift men doch (One sells his life)

Kein mohl kein tzait nisht tzu kikken oif zich (Never any time to introspect)

Chorus 1 (first time only):

Ubber gliklich is der (But fortunate is he)

Vos der Shabbos heet er (Whom the Shabbos protects)

Geiben fin Himmel fahr Yeeden alein (Given from Heaven for Jews alone)

Siz gevoren g’shtelt (It was established?)

Tzi fargessen fin der velt (To forget about this world)

Ah reeeeee (?) un a lichtigkait ([??? a radiance)

Vos nor mir farshtein (That only we understand)

Verse 2:

Zin geit shoin intehr (The sun goes down already)

Di Shabbos vehrt neintehr (The Shabbos draws closer)

Di challos di vain oifen tish shoin geshtehlt (The challos, the wine, already placed on the table)

Di hertzer derfreiyen zich (The hearts rejoice)

Neshumes banaiyen zich (Souls renew themselves)

Lichte(r?)lach brennen (Lights burn)

Balaichten di vehlt (Illuminating the world)

Chorus 2 (there are minor changes):

Oy, vee gliklich is der (Oh, how fortunate is he)

Vos der Shabbos heet er (Whom the Shabbos protects)

Geiben fin Himmel fahr mir Yeedelach alein (Given from Heaven for we Jews alone)

Siz gevoren g’shtelt (It was established?)

Tzi fargessen fin der velt (To forget about this world)

Ah reeeeee (?) un a lichtigkait (??? a radiance)

Vos nor mir farshtein (That only we understand)

Verse 3:

Tahm Oilam haBeh (The taste of the the World to Come)

Feelt men in Shabbes (One feels in Shabbos)

Mit di maluchim (With the angels)

Bahm heiligen tish (At the holy table)

Mir zingen tsuzamen (We sing together)

Es hut alleh tahmin (It has all the flavors)

Dos essen in t’rinken (The food and drink)

Es shmekt azoi frish (It smells so fresh)

Oh, I see what you mean now. That wasn’t what I meant,

although it might be true.

Please explain why technology is inherently unholy, those of you who think so. Also, be prepared to answer whether you think the same of devices that do not have the ability to connect to the Internet, such as the “Boox Buki” (or whatever it’s called).

(By the way, your home telephone (assuming you still have one,

and that your service is not “kosher”) can be used for things

of the same nature as your issue with the Internet.)

As has been pointed out, electronic devices will never replace sefarim entirely, because they cannot be used on Shabbos.

Also, yeshivos will probably not allow them, so there’s that as well.

Yes, consult your LOR before you lament the possibility of a

device with d’varim shebik’dusha on it being brought somewhere that it is forbidden to bring sefarim, Mr. Agent.

(Actually, maybe it’s better to occupy our time than his.)

Source, please.

If anyone here lives in Yerushalayim, maybe they can help you.

The yeshiva he founded, Yeshivat Nahar Shalom, is (according to the Internet) “located on a small alley in the back of the Mahane Yehuda Shuk and is physically difficult to get to.”

But if you go in there, I’m sure the Rosh Yeshiva could

tell you his grandmother’s name, if it’s that important.

(I don’t think there’s an “Arguments” section of the CR.)

“a female educator”

cough Australia cough

Also, “IMPOSSIBLE! same mother and father!”

Isn’t there a medrash that says the shevatim

all had twin sisters and married them?

Mammele – Yes, that’s the word.

Skripka – No.

I forgot to mention that I don’t know how to translate “bruch.”

(Also, I think there are two “No? Yeah.”s before the “Yeah? No!”)

(I’m stranded you-might-know-where by rain, so…)

Ah Shabbos tish mit gefilte fish,

Uhn ah bissel chrein ahn de side,

Some cholent in de pot uhn ah kugel nice and hot,

Oh! makes me warm insi-i-i-de

Ven di chuleptches uhn k’neidlach drei’n zich in boich vi dreidlach

Uhn di tzimmes uhn di chicken mach di haltz a bissel triken

Ken men trinken ah l’chaim biz di kup is in shomayim

Oh Bubby, that’s what I like!

(When the stuffed cabbage and matzah balls are spinning in the belly like dreidels, and the tzimmes [not sure – cooked carrots?]

and the chicken make the throat a little dry, you can drink a l’chaim until the head is in the sky. [It loses something 🙂 … ])

…zug mir (?), vi macht di zeideh

(Tell me, how’s the Zeide doing?)

No? Yeah. Yeah? No!

Takeh, er hut fahrloiren di tzein?

(Really, he lost his [false] teeth?)

Oy, ah bruch!

Uhn kim nisht shpeit?

(And don’t come late?)

Oy, Bubby, du trachtst as mein fazhlabite car kenst

azoi schnell dreiven azoi veit vi south Fallsburg? [Not exact]

Oy, Bubby, do you think my [junky/decrepit?] car

can drive as far as South Fallsburg that quickly?

Does someone have the subtitle “Blocked” without actually being blocked?

ssss

🙂

According to Wikipedia,

“Feminism is a range of movements and ideologies that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve equal political, economic, cultural, personal, and social rights for women.

This includes seeking to establish equal opportunities for women in education and employment. A feminist advocates or supports the rights and equality of women.”

You can be a frum feminist, just as you can be a frum

environmentalist*, but the thing is that when feminism

and the Torah or contemporary chareidi/Orthodox practice

conflict, those who are frum and feminists often think

that it is not feminism but Judaism which should yield,

which is obviously not acceptable.

*I don’t know how appropriate “isms” that aren’t Judaism are for a Jew.

I laughed out loud at that one. 🙂
