110.06/ Cowher era #Steelers fans know that 51 is James Farrior's number and he was, as Kozora himself notes, one of the best free-agents to come to the team. 51 carries a great legacy; hope it brings good mazal to Myles Jack & us. steelersdepot.com/2022/07/kevin-…
110.07/ At first, I thought the baked-beans hash-browns were a prank, like the gefilte-fish hot dogs. But, evidently not. If they are served simultaneously, it could open a portal to She'ol, so be careful.
110.08a/ I learned so much from this video about the climate actions in the IRA (h.t. @What46HasDone). This is what Biden can deliver (b/c he was a senator as long as humanly possible who then served as president of the Senate for 8 years as VP)
110.08b/ Biden-Harris has had so many successes in just a 18 months it's mind-blowing. Anti-lynching, Infrastructure, climate change, etc. If the Red part of the horseshoe wasn't as determined as the GOP to destroy the Democrats, they'd be happy. But they are, so they aren't.
110.13/ Why call it an arranged marriage when you can call it a "shadchan wedding"?
110.14/ Any frum Jew who is upset about the *concept* of loan cancellation in the week of parshat Re'eh & in a honest-to-goodness SHEMITTA YEAR needs to go back to cheider.
Shemitta isn't there so you can bully farmers; the debt zapping is a cornerstone of halakhic ethics.
110.15/ Excellent context for that map going around
110.22/ It's a busy time; my son will be going off to Israel on Monday and it's an emotional erev-Shabbos. Like dropping him off in college but on a different order of magnitude.
199.02/ FYI - I did some research and evidently the real 2015 ad this skit is parodying was about a father sending his kid to the US Army (i.e. the army was presented in the same gauzy way as college).
IMO the 2 best are (1) PIT-BAL b/c both teams are always good, the games always close, violent & have playoff implications. (2) NYG-PHI b/c no matter how good/bad either are the game can go either way & the fanbases HATE each other.
198.02/ #ChochmatNashim for #AchareiMot & #Kedoshim 5783. @ChochmatNashim
It's going to be hard updating the 5784 edition before Shabbas, so please enjoy this "classic" version from last year. Divrei Torah from Orthodox women scholars on the parsha. drive.google.com/file/d/136A4pd…
@ChochmatNashim 198.03/ The jig is up, the news is out, they finally found her... Mazal Tov and congratulations to my wife, Dr. Rebecca Cypess, on her new position as Dean of Stern College and Yeshiva College! BE"H her new position will allow her to help heal academia. yu.edu/news/yu/yeshiv…
196.03/ #NachasAlert: My son has a big article (pages 4-6) in this week's Torah journal from his high school #Metzora-#HaGadol. Enjoy! drive.google.com/file/d/1uNKU5O…
195.02/ Happy #Eclipse2024 Day for all who celebrate. Here's an interesting article about the halakhic implications of an eclipse by Rabbi Dov Linzer: blogs.timesofisrael.com/solar-eclipse-…
195.03/ #Eclipse2024 My extended family went to a place of 100% totality and took this picture a few minutes ago. For me its 90% and can't be photographed (which is one reason I said shehechiyanu). Not paskening for anyone else, but for me this is a religious experience.
194.02/ #ChochmatNashim for #Shemini 5784.
@ChochmatNashim
Downloadable PDF with working links to Divrei Torah by Orthodox women scholars on the parsha and other topics of the week. #Shmini #HaChodesh drive.google.com/file/d/1bFHTfW…
193.03/ #NachasAlert: Final (so far) tally of times my son leyned Megillah seven times; 3 last night, four times today. Including once for a home-bound Shoah survivor. So proud.
