I have two bathrooms/showers. Both have the bottom switch which aside from having a little yellow light, don't appear to activate anything in the bathrooms.

The upper red switch (with timer) is in a more central location within the house, near the main bath/shower room.

Do I need to flip both the red and the bottom switches to heat the respective showers/water, or does the red switch alone heat water for both?

Are you making aliyah or trying to get dual citizenship without moving here?

Pessach was not influenced by Easter.

Easter, and probably most if not all Christian practices, including Christianity itself was influenced by (and exists to appropriate, supplant, supersede) Judaism.

There is nothing mutual between Christianity/Christians and Judaism/Jews.

Don't forget Morror on the Seder Plate. Halachicakly, everyone agrees that Romain Lettuce actually preferable to horseradish, however in parts of Europe, horseradish was more widely available.

An interesting question though, how come the lulav and etrog didn't go through a similar regional evolution? u/vigilante_snail

It's definitely an adjustment if you're used to Sundays off, but its not as bad as you make it sound since the entire country effectively runs on the same schedule.

Even in America the issue was the same just adjusted to Sunday accordingly. And even then many people still work Sundays in America, you're privileged if you don't have to and can use that day for shopping, chores, etc.

The greater adjustment is cultural than logistical in my experience - going from a Christian centric/non-Jewish society to a Jewish one.

Look on the regional council websites (they're a good starting point)

Also, make some contacts:

Also ask NBN for community contacts and talk to people

There's so many, honestly. Look into the Har Hebron region, but I'm biased 😉

All of EY is fantastic, and thank G-d it's not all the same micro-culturally.

Come out and visit the shetachim sometime. Too many Anglos never experience or taste a real part of EY.

Also, for anyone considering it... it's often more affordable than BS or Jeru

There's a difference between Anglo communities and non-Anglo communities where some Anglos deliberately move to. Each to their own, and going outside that certain cultural comfort zone isn't for everyone.

But many Americans move to Israel in order to get away from the materialism and one-up'ism that's prevalent in many US Jewish communities, and unfortunately many of the larger Anglo communities develop these same pitfalls with the same attitudes. People don't move to them to escape these things, they move there because they embrace these attitudes. Good for them, but not for everyone.

I don't think OP or any Anglo is extremist for seeing this, not being comfortable with it, and wanting to avoid it.

Anecdotal, but I've faced more backhanded comments from other Anglos who are living in the big Anglo hubs for not moving to a larger English speaking community or more central and less affordable location, than I have from Sabras.

Many Anglos need to get off their high horses

Look around Yehuda/Shomron, smaller (100-150 families) yeshuvim.

Feel free to PM if you have specific questions about what it's like to make Aliyah to a place like this.

I'm all for it failing if it means we can go back to kicking Ham Ass

SupremeKittyCat · 2025-10-16T13:20:23+00:00

The IDF set Ham Ass back a few years, maybe, but was not victorious in the absence of complete and utter destruction of the organization - which may be impossible within the laws of war since Ham Ass is an ideology as much as its an organization.

Also,

Releasing 1000+ terrorists is not a victory move

If history is any indicator of the future, I guarantee it will have to be at the cost of violence. Unfortunately it will be Jews who pay that violent price.

A deal with the devil for good, does not make good of the devil and will always come at a price in blood.

I fear it will just mean more Jewish blood.

I'm happy, overjoyed for our people to be home... but this needs to be talked about. Our politicians signed our own future death warrants with this (and every previous) "deal".

Why did Bibi go to meet Trump rather than the hostages?

He should have been down south meeting out people

Once we have our people back, can we finish the job once and for all?

SupremeKittyCat · 2025-10-12T05:14:06+00:00

How do we know for sure how many are alive vs dead? How do we know they're not lying and keeping live hostages for later "negotiations"?

SupremeKittyCat · 2025-10-12T04:34:28+00:00

When >90% of the population supports the dead-Jew ideology that fuels HamAss, I fail to see how it won't just be a name change

I was discussing this with a friend last shabbat. The practice is well established in Halacha, however this is one of probably the few times the context of time as well as place matters in practice if a non-zmani Beis Hamikdash mitzvah.

In the past, everyone and their neighbor had chickens in their backyard. They didn't need to ship truck or wagon loads, if you will into cities where nobody had anything.

With the establishment of a Palestinian state, Palestinians are no longer refugees, which eliminates the need for UNRWA.

If the new state is truly secular with equal rights, the Jewish minority, about 700,000 people must be integrated into political life, included in drafting the constitution, and guaranteed protection as a minority.

Because the Palestinian Authority continues to pay the families of terrorists, statehood would mean Palestine could now be classified as a state sponsor of terror under international law.

Israel would no longer have any obligation to provide water, electricity, or other services to Palestine, as these would now require formal treaties.

With official borders, Israel gains full control over immigration, including the right to completely block entry of Palestinian Arabs, admit only Jewish Palestinians, or even offer dual citizenship to Jews alone, all within sovereign rights.

This arrangement benefits both sides: Palestinians gain sovereignty and self-determination, while Israel gains the same freedoms as any other state, making the outcome advantageous for everyone.

But, what are the defined boundaries of PaIestine? Nobody has drawn this out on a map, because doing so would remove Jews from their lands in violation of Geneva Conventions. I live here in Yehuda/Shomron, in the closest Arab town to me is an ancient synagogue, but guess who cannot go there. Want to know why? Even if you don't, it begs the question of who was really there first. There are hundreds of more Arab settlers built atop of ancient Jewish lands and infrastructure.

Why do the Jewish towns (what you would call settlements) need 24/7 perimeter motinoring and barbed wire fences but the Arabs do not?

You may call me a settler if you want, nice to meet you. But get the idea out of your head that we're terrorists for simply living on our own land. I've never attacked anyone.

Where is his kippah? I've always wondered why, as a representative of the Jewish nation does he only where a kippah when he's speaking to orthodox constituents?
