@yaakovkabir The Bible, halakha, Jewish thought. From what I understand many of the students didn't learn these things as kids.

@JMMusings what else do you expect them to learn in yeshiva?

Is Gemara the only thing they learn?

How do you explain to a guy on the street why every frum person's garage is currently fully stocked with paper goods?

@18Elmo_18 Ya, thought that was interesting.

@JMMusings At 30 seconds, he mentions that the needed special permission in the eighteenth amendment, which was prohibition. Just heard a phenomenal shiur on this! open.spotify.com/episode/00znvY…

Passover prep on the lower east side 100 years ago. Notice the square matzos.

Or it's just the box square and they are smaller than what's commonly used today?

"והגדת לבנך" Middle school boys at LEC Florida spend their recess soaking in the words of veteran shliach and educator Rabbi Shmuel Lew.

Is it true that after COVID, sofrim decided they weren't making enough, and STA״M prices have since skyrocketed?

@trq212 Today was better but 2 days ago I hit the 5 hour limit after 2 basic prompts on a pro plan.

To manage growing demand for Claude we're adjusting our 5 hour session limits for free/Pro/Max subs during peak hours. Your weekly limits remain unchanged. During weekdays between 5am–11am PT / 1pm–7pm GMT, you'll move through your 5-hour session limits faster than before.

@trq212 Welp. Back to chatgpt?

@Machsonai 😆

@JMMusings Fixed

I'm like 70 years old and I still don't know if maven is a Hebrew or English word.

Finally had enough of Big Light $25 bucks on Amazon and a return to soul

@BadgedPatriot No. Next question.

A plumber just told me you are supposed to drain your water heater once a year to get the junk at the bottom out to extend the life of the heater. Does anybody actually do that?😳

Pesach greetings

The severity of Chometz on Pesach is not widely understood by all Jewish consumers. In 1944, the Rebbe urged @ManischewitzCo to use its platform to help raise awareness of Pesach’s unique and intricate requirements: "Taking into account the great ignorance which exists in many circles regarding the laws of Pesach, and the great precautions which are necessary in regard to such laws, we are taking the liberty of turning to you with the following request. "At least a minute or two of your worthy radio program should be devoted to impressing upon the Jewish masses the gravity of the laws appertaining to Chometz during Pesach. Appeal to the Jewish housewife in general to maintain a truly kosher Pesach home. "Might we further suggest that a brief resume of the essential Pesach laws be also broadcast. We feel that you will be rendering a most meritorious service to your listeners. "Please inform us, if possible, what steps have been taken in this most important matter."

@WesRoth Yup. Experiencing this. Very annoying.

Following a weekend of expanded usage allowances, Anthropic’s highest-tier subscribers are waking up to a crippling rate-limit bug. Developers paying top dollar for the "Claude Max" ($100/mo) and "Max 20x" ($200/mo) plans are reporting that their accounts are being locked out almost instantly due to an issue with how Claude Code is calculating token consumption.

Never again means never again.

@jewishmemequeen Like clockwork

Ok, so why are we still doing 2 days of Chag in the diaspora?? We know when the holidays start and end. Passover should be 7 days with 1 Seder. How do we fix this?

But why is everyone flying this weekend?
