@IsaacMoses Probably depends on the size of the congregation/community.

@MonicaCellio I had to Google saddle-stapled. Never heard the term IIRC.

There may be willing distributors elsewhere (viz, not Israel or the States), too.

@Shokhet I live in Costa Rica, but I don't really know anyone in Panama

@msh210 They'll probably have to print on their own, but might be able to do so from whatever funds we get.

@IsaacMoses P.s. Thanks for that search, btw. I had never noticed one could use things like is:q as an operator. Now I know better! (Yes, sometimes it helps to read the manual!)

@MonicaCellio And now up with my coffee. :) Found out some interesting things about Rashi's text. I should have thought to look at Archive.org earlier. Any good recent bio's? I've got this one - too bad there isn't more here!

(+ there are five different scans of that Maurice Liber book on Archive.org, if that version isn't quite to taste.)

(+ There are some fascinating articles by Lea Himmelfarb which illuminate this question, too. FWIW!)

why I rarely wander over to meta.se

It probably got a -8 score here mostly from people who remembered it being recently asked on meta.so — Tiny Giant 23 mins ago

@yEz Alternative hypothesis: The portion of the Meta.SE population who saw your post and cared enough to vote contained more people who disagreed with your proposal than agreed with it, while the corresponding subpopulation on Meta.SO contained more who agreed than who disagreed. I honestly think that's just as likely as TG's hypothesis.

Good morning erryone!

What's a more productive method for educating kids to stay motivated in judaism: explaining to them why they should do X or preventing them from doing Y?

can preventing them from doing Y backfire?

like restricting internet access etc

they'll just do it elsewhere behind your back

Q: IRC For Mi Yodea

I know there is a "chat" on here but does anyone use IRC? Is this something MY users would enjoy? These days there are multiple clients to connect to IRC via Windows/Linux/Mac and even browser based clients. I am almost always connected to Freenode as I assume many on here are. If someone created...

discussion feature-request

@TheOne sefaria.org/Mishlei.22.6

whoa

I am on irc right now...

6:23 PM

@Yosi Time Zone Tov!

LOL

time zone tov indeedo

time zone tov lekha

which network are you on one?

@IsaacMoses, without a commentary I can't make much sense from that quote.

@IsaacMoses, which one of my two options does mishlei suggest?

@TheOne Mishlei suggests that each child requires individualized training.

6:26 PM

@TheOne I believe he is saying, do all you can to instill good values in the children and when they are older and their horomones and emotions settle down a bit more they will be more motivated

Isaac Moses, can my question above be better worded a more generalized to be suited for MY?

@TheOne You could ask whether any sources say to prioritize one of these over the other, or even say to do one exclusively.

... I strongly suspect that no one will say to do one and not the other.

Can anyone suggest a good book english book for chinuch and the touch subject of kids at risk?

I saw a thread on Chabad.org with the same issue

Yossi, could you find the link?

6:32 PM

I was an at rick kid, orphan, runaway, homeless for many years. But I am not Jewish(yet) so I wouldnt know being raised Jewish how at risk is handled

ok ##Mi-Yodea is open on Freenode if anyone wants to join it

What's the difference between # and ## on freenode?

# is a project channel, ## is support / general stuff

interesting

# is more for the internal company like #Microsoft and ##Microsoft

tell that to #go-nuts

6:34 PM

#Microsoft is for employees only and the other is for anyone who wants to join

It doesn't seem to be consisitent

@TheOne Also something you can ask on MY. Make sure to include as-objective-as-possible criteria that the ideal recommendation would fulfill

on freenodes side it is, many people do not read nor care about Freenode policy though and name it whatever they want

I'd rather just ask here and not get harassed about it.

whatever I ask will likely be closed.

most other IRC networks #room is the way it goes freenode is weird though lol

chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/365614/jewish/…

that may help?

6:35 PM

thank you

just from a glance it seems like good advice

NOTE: Best practice in SE chat is to explicitly reply to the message you're responding to. To do so, hover over the right edge of the message you're responding to, and click on the arrow that pops up.

the one with the woman asking for help was replyed to by a Rabbi in Crown Heights he basically said do what you can to keep them observing mitzvot and eventually they will take it on again

youth is a difficult time in anyones life I imagine in judaism even more so

@IsaacMoses, that's too much work.

inhibits the conversation

@IsaacMoses I didnt know, thank you!

@IsaacMoses ... This allows multiple conversations to happen at once without getting confusing. It also makes it clear which message you're responding to. It also pings the target, so they know they've been responded to.

@TheOne It's one click per message, and it rather enhances conversation.

@Yosi Happy to spread the knowledge

6:39 PM

@TheOne Actually it was on the Yeshiva News not chabad, he it is theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/going-off-the-derech

It also highlites the msg you replyed to when you hover over them, that is pretty nifty

@Yosi, if you give your child too much self esteem then he might become too proud

I guess better too proud then not jewish

@TheOne I suppose so, training children is a difficult job. But we all know we were children once too, they grow up, they overcome]

life is hard

there are also many stories of people who have left the derech and return with zeal later in life

sometimes it takes a little time

Q: Request to remove ability to up or downvote on closed Purim questions

Perhaps, I'm not following the policy or logic regarding Purim-Torah questions. I understand that shortly after Purim is over, you close them, which prevents people from answering them. But why are they still able to vote on them? Shouldn't they be considered "dead" questions?
