Are there alternate versions of Khanike, Oy Khanike that don't include the dialectal rhyme of שיינער and אַזוינער? Did people just not sing it not in litvish dialect, or if they did they just ignored the rhyme?

Hilkhot Y’mei Vam-Megiddo הִלְכוֹת יְמֵי וַם־מְגִדּוֹ 1) The practice of ום־מגידו (in English: Whamageddon) was taken as an obligation by the Jewish people during the era of the Mad Emperor רֵיגָנְטִיוֹכוּס, as a commemoration of the suffering that secular Christmas music has brought upon the Jewish people.

quick (?) question for Yiddishists and/or hasidim and/or historians of hasidim: did the Lubavitcher Rebbe adopt a litvish dialect later in life or did the Ukrainian Schneersons retain litvish pronunciation despite being in Ukraine (and were able to enforce it for the children)?

Khazad theory Is this something

today I can at least be happy for sandy koufax and his band of merry men

The Blue Jays can still win if Mike Pence has the courage to do the right thing.

is this considered a hostile act by the Assyrian Church of the East towards the Catholic Church?

Does anyone know what Chassidus the people who run West Side Judaica follow? I feel like it was Karlin but they speak a very polish dialect of Yiddish so I was thinking perhaps I misremembered Kotsker as Karliner?

Was there a halakhic problem while we were on the gold standard with paying back loans because the money could have changed value? Or did the money count the same way as the silver dinars? www.sefaria.org/Bava_Metzia....

I'm beginning to think the dodgers are good at baseball

It's really cool how, among a certain variety of leftist, the only perceived problem with anything Israel does is that Jews have no rightful claim to the land. It really makes you ponder if they are not morally consistent in their positions and just hate Jews and/or love blood and soil nationalism.

the debat. pt 2

can someone more familiar with Hasidic Yiddish tell me if that is how you would write "housing affordability?" just looks kind of funny to me but I guess it's not too crazy to take it as a calque.

now beat the fucking Dodgers you meatheads we're counting on you

fwiw the no kings rally in silver spring md I stopped by after shul today was small but seemed lively (and also seemed to mostly consist of the people who had just been at the shul with me)

MODERATOR: Your rebuttal, Mr. Cuomo? CUOMO: You know, I have, these people, I have spent many times in an [eye twitching] Islamic Mask- SLIWA: [raising hand] In 1997 I Met A Vampire Inside Katz's Delicatessen

The debat.

Adams: The best pizza is the pizza of the mind because you can grab a piping hot slice any time or place. Just be careful not to burn yourself on the grease. Sliwa: Joe & Pat's on Staten Island makes a mean pie even though they have banned me from the men's room.

since Zohran is clearly going to win and there’s no real drama in the race I vote we cancel further debates in favor of letting Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa debate random stuff like what the best pizza place in NYC is I just think it would be good television

I believe Zohran should condemn Hasan because I believe all streamers should be condemned

Don't worry guys, Cuomo is very fond of the Muslim community

For the last time, the problem with Israel is not that it's run by Jews, it's the apartheid and genocide. All of you seem to understand that as a defense against antisemitism but not when you're criticizing Israel.

It's not actually worth it to explain this to you but I'm going to: the Nazis made this exact claim of the Jews, now a certain group of "leftists" have decided it's true, but it's ok because they're saying Israeli instead of Jew. We're not arguing for blood and soil nationalism, we're saying you are

I realize there are reasons we don't generally call people in linguistic studies "informants" anymore, but it kind of makes me sad for reasons I can't quite explain.

the thing about BE is that he doesn't actually think antisemitism is real, and so all acts of antisemitism can only definitionally be political statements against Israel.

A central Yiddish speaker singing a song about a little white whale on the go: Bayby belige in the deep blou sea.

I think if that guy who has a pathological urge to defend Cliff Connolly's antisemitism knew anything that he thinks he knows he probably wouldn't be so adamant that everyone "look up Rabbi Schneerson" as if he was some little known leader of a secretive cult.

Can think of two things wrong with this so-called grasshopper

What're genealogy bsky's opinions on whether the Horowitz family is really descended from the Yizhari family? I know it's been disputed but is there a consensus one way or the other? As far as I can tell from the geni forum where they were severed, people seem to be saying that YDNA confirms it.

A man walks into a bar and asks, "what's this vase doing here?" "Oh that's just our bar vase," says the bartender. The man takes a duck out of his bag and says "should I not have brought my own?"

Finally found through someone else's MyHeritage tree that the two families with the same surname in the shtetl of my grandfather's family are indeed related. Confusing part was that one branch married into another branch of my family, but we didn't know that they were branches.

sorry I can't get over the quote: "now the term globalize the infit-intfitada..."

I understand that people like dooming about how we're never going to have elections again, but I really can't imagine that any of this lasts after Trump kicks the bucket, so saying "there will be no next president" just feels weird to me.

"Dems in disarray" is not actually something to strive for, it is, however, pretty much the default position for the Democratic party, and somehow you've become convinced that anything else would be communism or something. Dems should be in array, at least somewhat, that's the point of a party.

Not to say it's not a good thing to do, but I do find it interesting that smotrich and ben gvir have become the fall guys in terms of who gets sanctions. I mean pretty much everyone in the cabinet could reasonably be sanctioned and I wouldn't bat an eye, but they're the most visibly evil I guess?

I'm beginning to think people just genuinely have forgotten how to read things and interpret them

cracker barrel was already woke!!did you not notice how for decades they've sought to humiliate regular, hard working americans with their impossible triangle peg game that isn't even fun and i didn't want to play it anyway
