Vote!!

It's currently at #27 [0.9% of votes]..let's get it in the top 22!
(vote daily)

Why?

Why not?
I'm bored. Humour me.

Fair enough.

I voted. Or tried. Once its added to my cities, is it considered a vote? Do I have to login?

9

You have to login and click vote after adding it.

Is this a mitzvah deoraysah, d'rabbanan, or midivrei kofrim?

Its probably just a minhag.

I don't know...anything less than the Park Place position would be a real boosha to Yerushalayim... on the other hand at least it does read Jerusalem, Israel which is better than what the U.S. State Dept. says...

(cool, looks like it just moved up a notch to #26..)

Nice work! Keep it up...it has to get up to #20 to make the list. (The other 2 are wildcard cities.) Also it has to make it to #2 to get the Park Place spot.

Why is it important for Jerusalem to be in the Monopoly game?

I can just see it spawning anti-semitic comments and bad jokes.

It's not. We should put the Middle East in and then carpet bomb it. (The Meiri talks about it.)

Funny, you don't strike me as a "Meiri" type of guy.

Apparantly Jerusalem is one of the most sought after pieces of land anywhere in the world, why shouldnt that be portrayed realistically in a board game?

I just made an account. Am I supposed to receive a confirmation email?

9

I guess...hey whatever happened to making the hashkafah@hashkafah.com accounts with the standard pass - we don't do that anymore?

Still nothing

9

Do they take write-ins? I think the Russian Compound should be the jail square [corner], and 'just visiting' either Crack Square or Ben Yehuda.

YAY! It was in my bulk folder.

9

It wouldn't help in this case because you need to respond to the confirmation email and I presume they only allow one vote per customer.

Besides, didn't we decide on an old thread that it's genivas daas? (I'm not bored enough to look it up)

What is it?

9

I read that as, "Cheese of Knowledge".

What is what?

Feeling dyslexic today?

9

The hashkafa@hashkafah thing.

9

Like you could go to the NYT website and log in as Hashkafah@hashkafah.com...etc...we used to have the accounts set up everywhere for everyone on the board to use...

Cool! What happened?

9

Newbies happened.

That was me.

Shut up and keep your eyes on the dishes...
Since you asked, what is a "Meiri" type of guy? And you don't have to be a type of guy to know what someone says.

Let's just say that I've noticed that the Meiri is not generally held in high esteem by the OPS. It seems as if only girls and MO guys even take him seriously. Sort of like the Abarbanel.

You know as well as I do that I am no fan of the OPS (though I does keep most people in their places).

??? !!! ???

What's wrong???

Is what Xi is saying based on observation or is it a hypothesis?

It's true. I don't agree with them but there's no point in denying it. Certain meforshim are more respected in the Yeshivish world than others, and unfortunately the Meiri isn't one of them.Observation.

That it isn't part of the typical curricula doesn't mean it's less respected.

I don't think the self proclaimed "Torah World" puts it on the same level as the Rashba or the Pnai Yehoshua. People learn it but it isn't given the same weight as the major meforshim.

That may have to do with his style of writing which is a more "simplistic" one, and with the fact that it was only relatively recently published.

You both are confusing the cause and the reason.

The cause and reason for what?

Do NOT vote for Jerusalem!

The last thing the world needs to see is Jerusalem with a price tag on it!

(MBD's Yerushalayim is not for sale...)

Funny you should mention that, cause that was probably one of his best selling albums.

Jerusalem is at %2.4 and #10 in the ranking after the top 20!
keep it up you can vote again everyday till February 29 2008

Bah! Not for sale!

(#10 puts it between the red and the orange - right near free parking.)

Where does number 7 put it?

9

Ventnor Avenue - the Yellows.

Thats not so bad. Now we have to get it to broadway/park place.

9

I suppose if it must have a price tag let it have the most expensive price tag.

Park Place is statistically among the least landed squares on the board by the way.
