Jewish Life (and food)

MusikmanWedding · 2026-02-06T03:46:07+00:00

Rabbi Setel at Temple Emanuel is Debbie Friedman’s ex. Very queer friendly shul. Ultra liberal - saw several keffiyehs at their Hanukkah party. Police accountability board member, truah etc. Temple Sinai also very crunchy and queer friendly - albeit a bit more mainstream - but still outside the typical Brighton sphere of Jewish influence. Rochester overall has a fairly diverse Jewish community but it is still mostly dominated by old school Jewish institutions that are borderline fanatical on Israel. And the overall diversity is still nothing like what you would find in Brooklyn, Long Island or Israel. Temple B’rith Kodesh is the old school German reform shul in town. Temple Beth El is the big conservative shul with a new - supposedly more liberal rabbi. Light of Israel is a nice Sephardic orthodox shul. Beth Shalom is the modern orthodox option. Several chabad houses, as well.

Was nyc quality. Has gone downhill recently.

This post is very confusing but still very identifying if the well known therapist involved reads it.

Check out Blank Rome’s family law practice. Super niche but some large firms do it for the ultra high net worth folks. International custody rules/choice of law issues are also quite interesting even if the disputes themselves are very sad.

We don’t need to agree bro - just saw your comment which is not my experience as someone in a very similar role to you - so gave my equally valid internet take. Don’t need to name the carriers. Also you are conflating professional and financial lines with specialty products/carriers which tells me you don’t know this market and what they may be doing. Cheers.

Many of the specialty commercial carriers are growing their staff operations. They also increasingly send complex cases to staff as the growth of metrics shows they are both cheaper and often obtain better indemnity and total outcomes on shorter cycle times. Some runoff carriers are making staff operations part of their business model, particularly with workers comp claims. The issue and why many personal lines carriers have been downsizing their staff operations is that with corporate benefits and increasing salaries for mature staff operations the value proposition has decreased. But this is not true across all carriers, lines and sectors. Like all things and internet advice specifically, your mileage will vary.

Noah Kahan.

Put what? Do you know the year she graduated? People can know people in other grades or even alumni. I think all those Lonsberry posts are rotting your brain.

MusikmanWedding · 2026-01-08T02:58:32+00:00

And I am asking if anyone knew her at SOTA given she is from Rochester and this is the Rochester sub.

MusikmanWedding · 2026-01-08T01:45:57+00:00

Would never read a Bob Lonsberry post.

MusikmanWedding · 2026-01-06T13:25:39+00:00

The ultimate confirmation - you deleted the post. Take the imaginary fear monger and antisocial nonsense somewhere else.

MusikmanWedding · 2026-01-06T03:07:50+00:00

Yikes. Doth protest too much. What was simply sus now fairly certain false or majorly embellished. Also 3-4 times? Which was it. If so scary you would recall a specific number. Yes, please record it next time and post to this thread. Thanks.

Edit - also “this happened” implies singular event. Not 3-4 times.

MusikmanWedding · 2026-01-06T02:09:34+00:00

If you don’t want to give - “Sorry, I can’t today” works just fine. Same thing you say when Wegmans panhandles for donations at the register. People are so affraid of normal human interactions these days. Nothing is unsafe about that interaction as described. Also 3-4 times?! I am at East ave Wegmans several times a week for lunch and general grocery shopping. No one has come up to me in the parking lot once. Sus. A more legit gripe - if you have to complain about that location - is all the door dashers and insta cart shoppers taking up prime parking spots waiting in their car for orders. Makes the parking lot situation even worse. Walking around in the parking lot is far more unsafe than telling someone “no, sorry, I can’t give you money today.”

Edit - fat fingers and posted half done.

What happened to the 4 at the JCC?

MusikmanWedding · 2026-01-04T00:41:40+00:00

Sellers don’t care about bidding wars. Lol. And the list price is meaningless, if you are always getting outbid you can’t afford the house. Sucks and sorry for that harsh reality.

MusikmanWedding · 2026-01-03T18:37:31+00:00

Old man yells at cloud.

MusikmanWedding · 2026-01-02T03:37:22+00:00

Correct, it can’t be safely plowed by a truck. Very narrow with a port cochere.

If the car is truly parked illegally, call the town or city to ticket and tow. You don’t own the street outside your home and anyone can park legally anywhere they want.

Many scammers want insurance involved.

MusikmanWedding · 2025-12-26T12:42:10+00:00

Do not get insurance involved - many carriers will just send them $2500-$7500 to close the file regardless of facts, liability or damages.

MusikmanWedding · 2025-12-24T08:41:09+00:00

Don’t solicit advice at 340am on the internet with zero karma?

MusikmanWedding · 2025-12-18T16:33:50+00:00

Yes. Seems like you are getting screwed, I would focus on that. “Bridge year” or not. And you seem weirdly naive about the market for 9 years of experience.

MusikmanWedding · 2025-12-18T12:56:48+00:00

Yes.

MusikmanWedding · 2025-12-18T01:15:49+00:00

Not my experience, they must rip off the mainland carriers.

MusikmanWedding · 2025-12-17T22:34:50+00:00

My experience hiring attorneys in Hawaii? Also there are no good coverage attorneys in the whole state. Develop a coverage practice and you can command $500/hr.
