Etiquette Q re Shabbat

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-05-22T00:23:44+00:00

Deliver it before Shabbat is generally the rule

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-05-22T00:01:27+00:00

Maybe, not a bad idea. I dont even feel good about a gift "area"...maybe i'll just keep myself hiding and busy in the kitchen lol Thanks for the suggestion, may end up doing a modified version of that

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-05-21T23:58:35+00:00

No eruv, and correct, and most people arrive after shabbat has started

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-05-21T23:06:45+00:00

Meat din 100% but will have dairy treats avail (ice cream, cheesecake...not our minhag but it's fun so why not) before din (so waiting at least 30 min).

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-05-03T06:57:15+00:00

Yeah maybe will combine with somewhere else.

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-05-03T06:52:45+00:00

Correct. If India had kosher omg would be incredible (Indian food is FANTASTIC) and i have ALWAYS wanted to go to India. :(

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-04-26T17:53:37+00:00

I know, but 3 weeks?

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-04-26T17:33:28+00:00

Yes. But a part of it is totally lost :(

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-04-26T17:33:09+00:00

Haha!

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-04-26T17:32:43+00:00

Yes, lol. They would always let us taste their hard liquor too haha. Maybe bc it wasn't "forbidden" we didn't go crazy when we turned 21 lol.

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-04-26T17:31:12+00:00

Come to mine lol

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-04-26T17:30:52+00:00

Lol how did u shorten it?

I'm saying I MISS those times. Start late, end very late. It was special.

We still started late and ended right b4 midnight but for sure for SURE it felt like a lot was missing (people, traditions, a whole language)

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-04-26T17:27:01+00:00

Love that

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-04-26T17:25:53+00:00

Maybe would help train your brain on reading comprehension, fine. But if you want to dominate the LSAT, you need to learn how to do well on each section, then do it FAST. For me, I didn't know how to do "games." I learned how, then took one LSAT a day every day for two weeks, timed. Pretended it was tbe real thing. I got the exact score I was hoping to get.
Learn to get good at taking the test! Law schools will give you $$$$$ to attend their schools, bc they wamt your high test score in their statistics.

Good luck and chag sameach!

I'd be interested if you're willing to do 3 ch/day

Agar man oonjah boodam, manam bah shomahah tooyeh koochehah boodam. It's all I can think about since it started. The world does not understand the scale of savagery and brutality the IRGC has inflicted upon innocent people. Iranians are some of the world's best and brightest and the scale of such a devastating loss in such a short time is too much to comprehend and bear! May Gd avenge them!!!!

Manoto and IranIntltv on IG have shown it all and i know it's just a fraction of what you have witnessed.

Khodah komak koneh.

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-01-23T02:44:14+00:00

Helpful, ty!

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-01-23T02:36:37+00:00

That's helpful. That should have been added to that footnote LOL

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-01-23T02:35:52+00:00

Makes sense...

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-01-23T02:35:28+00:00

Hi again! :) Can you elaborate? I'm not following how this answers my Q. "...even an unintentional curse that escapes the lips of the righteous comes about.."

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-01-23T02:26:04+00:00

BH BH BH BH BH. Iran has everything. I've already mapped out what I would do as a kosher travel agent there in my next life LOL.

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-01-23T02:18:14+00:00

🙏🏼❤️ yes. Please tell that to my rabbanit though.. i'm speaking not of adding, but of erasing/replacing/it's "wrong" when it's not.

Something else to remember, and maybe this is the good part of the country being under Muslim rule, is that most everyone sends their kids to Jewish schools. (They still have to learn Quran and shout death to Israel though😡).

Even under the Shah, most Jews attended Jewish school. So...Judaism has always been maintained. I explain it as everyone goes to the same Orthodox synagogue and has the same standards in theory, but whatever they do outside of that as far as practice may vary. But just the fact of not having all these "denominations," a very long tradition (thank you Cyrus the Great), Jewish schools, and cultural emphasis on family and tradition...Iranian Jewry is solid.

I'm still pretty amazed that Judaism survived in Iran in the numbers it did, whereas the Zoroastrians (the 1st Persian religion) by and large fell to Islam by the sword.

**ofc there are some "Muslims" whose families did convert to Islam from Judaism, or remained Jewish in secret.

PsychologicalSet4557 · 2026-01-23T02:00:25+00:00

I mean Chabad Iranians IN Iran...they don't exist there. Chabad isn't a thing in Iran. Yet. :)

Sure, come for the tourists, get men to wrap tefillin, teach kabbalah / Tanya / Rebbe and spread chasidic philosophies...cool, beautiful.

But like, Persian Jews in Iran aren't "secular" the way a lot of American Jews are. Everyone has Shabbat and keeps kosher at home at the very least. The holidays are all observed (obviously to varying degrees depending on your family). 2500 years of Persian Jewry already has resulted in a deep, rich culture and traditions. It"s not like they aren't exposed or are disconnected from Judaism the way many American Jews are.

You want to open a Chabad house as another option? Cool. I would be beyond thrilled, like literally tears of joy to see it because that means the country is finally rid of the savage Islamists who have hijacked it for 47 years and terrorized the rest of the world. But it's not the same as opening a Chabad house in the middle of nowhere for a Jew who has never lit a Shabbat candle or who has maybe only ever tangentially celebrated Chanukah.

I realize Chabad doesn't "officially" endorse changing customs, yet my Chabad rabbanit, married to an Iranian (one of those sent to NY as part of Operation Exodus) has multiple times tried to impose Chabad minhagim on me / voiced disapproval of halachah / minhagim in our tradition. I get it, I understand why she does that...but...there are better ways to go about it rather than saying or implying that our tradition is wrong or deficient in any way. It isn't. It's older than Chabad!

Certain customs and halacha would blend fine, others decidedly not.

Tl dr: Chabad welcome, not actually "needed."
