Through personal observation, i've noticed that a lot of young jewish women tend to be teases or just expect too much from a guy. Girls these days have endless lists of what they want in a guy. I may not be the most perfect guy on the planet, but I consider myself good looking and date-able. What happened to a guy's personality? What happened to how much respect he has for other people? Who cares how "popular" he may be. After a few rejections throughout high school, I always blamed myself, but after the rejections started entering double digits, I thought somethings gotta give here. It may be my own fault who knows. Even my friends have similar problems and they happen to be great guys. A girl even cheated on my friend while they were dating. The point is that i lost my faith in the Jewish dating scene (rant over lol)...I would love to see some comments on this. and if you wanna even chat about it my aol screen name is syb315. </p> http://www.frumsatire.net/forum/topic/interest-in-private-messages#post-1798 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:06:44 +0000 Abraham Vegh 1798@http://www.frumsatire.net/forum/ <p>What is the interest amongst the membership in being able to send and receive private messages? </p> http://www.frumsatire.net/forum/topic/which-edition-of-kitzur-shulchan-aruch#post-1914 Sun, 18 Jul 2010 11:12:03 +0000 Chris_B 1914@http://www.frumsatire.net/forum/ <p>Anyone have an opinion on which edition of Kitzur Shulchan Aruch to get?

He appears all frum and claims to be shomer negiah. However, he started calling and texting me. I am not halachically Jewish but I have been learning to follow through the process of conversion. My Father is Jewish. We got together once or twice but I cant bring myself to continue this nonsensical thing. I have ignored him but he persists. It's not what I believe and who I am. My dilemma is that I like him. He went away to Israel to study and has been calling, texting, and emailing me. I want to get together with him but i dont' know what to expect or what he is Jewishly thinking. I don't know if its a Breslov thing or its just his own disturbance? Thoughts? </p> http://www.frumsatire.net/forum/topic/new-matisyahu-record-light#post-1265 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 11:28:43 +0000 Chris_B 1265@http://www.frumsatire.net/forum/ <p>Light came out in Japan two weeks or more before in the US. I grabbed it up even though it cost almost $30 here with the "bonus" DVD since up to now Matisyahu has been one of two blatantly Jewish musicians I've enjoyed at all. I've had some time with it, my first reaction was "I wasted my money" since none of it is the reggae flavored rock I'd enjoyed before. I'm trying to give it a chance with more listens, but so far its not my thing even though its a very well made record.

Tutoring during the summer months can help these students start the new school year in a more positive frame of mind. Students may need only a few hours of extra help in one subject or extensive tutoring in many subjects – but tutoring costs are often prohibitive. Study Rite is a program that matches up students with volunteer tutors. The Study Rite Program runs through July, August, and September.

Unbelievably, many, many families are washing men's and women's clothing together at the same time in the same washing machine. This is an unprecedented breach of Tznius.!!! How could anyone think that one is allowed to wash men's and women's undergarments at the same time in the same wash load? There is more than a saffek here of ‘material neg’eeah’ Even pillows slept on by more than one sex fall into the category of<br /> גלוי כריות (gillui carriot!!! ) = illicit unions punishable by Mitat Bet Din= מטת בית דין.<br /> The Rabbis say that it is our goal in this life to make a ‘dirah betachtonim’ but doesn’t mean that washing them is a free for all! Rather, Beit Shamates teaches us that the prohibition of g’di behallav emo, occurring 3 times in the Tora, comes to teach us that g’di = any behama dakka, such as KIVSA, a sheep, from which we derive KVISA, laundry, ergo: we are forbidden to mix our washing.<br /> Rabbi Dolche said in the name of Rabbi Gabbana, “Better * to barbecue a pig on Yom Kippur than jumble your undies in the same load.” (in the Yerushalmi it says, BUTTER)</p> <p>Therefore, for the salvation of Amm Yisroel, we are issuing the following guidelines regarding the doing of laundry.</p> <p>1. Ideally each observant home should have two washing machines and two dryers - one washing machine and one dryer should be used exclusively for men's clothing and the other washing machine and dryer should be used exclusively for women's clothing. Special Haredi glatt washers, can be purchased for no more than 15% more than regular machines.</p> <p>2. In the event that a family cannot afford to have two washing machines and two dryers, the following rules should be adhered to. </p> <p> a. Under no circumstances should men's clothes be washed in the same machine as women's clothing (‘ Yechhud ha-Bad’). They should, of course, also be dried separately.</p> <p> b. After doing a load of men's clothing, one should run the washing machine through a complete cycle without any clothes in it. Only then one may wash women's clothing in this machine. However, if has washed a load of women’s clothing, the machine must be allowed to complete two complete cycles without clothing. </p> <p> c. After drying a load of men's clothing the dryer should be allowed to cool off completely. After this, one may use the dryer for drying women's clothes. The same applies after drying a load of women's clothing before using the dryer for men's clothing. </p> <p> d. Before putting any clothing in the machine, a woman who is in "Needa" should run through a complete menstrual cycle without any clothes on herself. After which the husband should be allowed to cool and dry off completely.</p> <p> e. If men’s and women’s clothing is mixed by accident, and if a shtriemle happens to come in contact with a woman’s culottes (a type of short pants), and if the shtreimle gets pregnant, the offspring are called shtreimlottes, and may not be washed with any clothing except other shtreimlottes. It is, however, permissible to wear such items on Purim because of their silly nature. </p> <p> Leading Ultra Orthodox figures, have put forth the question, Is Laundry itself a form of Preetsus (immorality)? After all, in order to get into the machine, clothing must be --shudder-- removed from the body, leaving it, the body, for however short a time, in an immodest, forbidden state. However, The Rav Elyashirt paskens that it is permissible to remove dirty clothing, even undergarments, as long as the clean ones are put on prior to taking off the soiled ones. The Farshtunkene, on the other hand, took a harder line and never removed his clothes until his dying day, as it is written, “That no man can stand the odor --<br /> “ אֵין אָדָם יָכול לַעֲמד מִפְּנֵי רֵיחָהּ ”</p> <p>Note: These are the only laundry guidelines on which frum laundry can be hung. … er … These are the only guide laundry lines frum which you can depend on your laundry hanging on . . .

I'm not talking about any hanky panky going on.</p> <p>You see, I'm a man who will generally shake hands when introducing myself to women. This mostly occurs during interviews. I will also hug *gasp* if requested. This usually happens with women who have known me since we were children or with middle-aged family friends. I'm pretty sure someone will say this counts as Derekh Chiba (affectionate manner), but I consider this a far cry from bumping and grinding in a club.</p> <p>While I try to avoid labels, I think I'd fit in with the Modern Orthodox world. The Hashkafa seems more balanced. However, as a BT living in the Monsey area, almost everyone I know is Charedi. So, I'm more likely to be introduced to Charediyot women than Modern Orthodox ones.</p> <p>What would you think of a couple (dating or married) in which one partner kept Shmirat Negi'a in the No-Derekh-Chiba fashion and the other was more strict? Would it look like the more lenient partner was controlling the partner that had a strict interpretation? I could imagine people thinking "Yochanan doesn't let his wife touch other men. He's got issues," if they were to see me shake a woman's hand and my wife to refuse to shake a man's. And I certainly wouldn't want to create Chilul HaShem for my non-observant family. </p> http://www.frumsatire.net/forum/topic/housewarming-gift-for-someone-in-israel#post-1881 Fri, 12 Mar 2010 03:00:30 +0000 Chris_B 1881@http://www.frumsatire.net/forum/ <p>My rabbi in Israel just moved into a new place outside Jerusalem.

The only time we ever heard anything was from a classmate's mother. He never wanted to fight back or tell anyone. On numerous occasions, we had meeting with the principal, who assured us that immediate action was being taken, though nothing was ever really done. I once scared off a bully by physically threatening him, it worked very well for that kid, but my wife was against me doing so with all the kids, saying it was embarssing to her. The bullying eventually stopped when another parent of a bullied kid called in the cops, and they forced the kids, parents and pricincipal into the police station for a "no tolerance" meeting.</p> <p>My younger kids are in a new yeshiva this year. Last night, one of them told me about an older kid beating on them in the bus and schoolyard. This kid's 11, my son is 7. As your typical victim, my little one never brought it up or told anyone. I was furious.</p> <p>I got on the bus this morning, found out who the kids was. After lifting his face to look me straight in the eye and putting on a mean look, I yelled that if ever he or his friends touched one of my kids again, I would come back onto the bus, break both his arms, so that he would need to call his mom every time he needed his ass wiped once he got out of the hospital.</p> <p>I'm quite sure I scared the crap out of him. I think I got the job done in a quick, painless manner, this time my wife actually laughed when I told her what I said. </p> http://www.frumsatire.net/forum/topic/having-a-merry-xmas#post-1825 Sun, 20 Dec 2009 16:39:58 +0000 Phil 1825@http://www.frumsatire.net/forum/ <p>I'm the last person any of you would probably imagine as enjoying the upcoming Xmas.
