GUE is intended to help religious Jews.

But, as we know, this is available on the internet. Therefore, we can't help if sometimes some very praiseworthy non-Jews check in with us from time to time and benefit from our work. We have even gotten chizuk from such testimonies.

However, they may encounter a problem understanding us. Not being Jewish, they might not be familiar with all the Jewish Jargon.

So, here's our chance to help them out.

This thread is dedicated to define the Jewish words that might get thrown around so freely elsewhere in this forum.

Also, please don't be bashful to ask here if there is a particular word that you have seen on GUE that you don't understand.

In addition, the technical lingo that may be familiar to old-timers, but confusing to newbies, may also be explained here.

For example, PM no longer stands for Post Maridian. It now means Private Message.

Usage: 8:00PM. Means, "AT 8:00, please send me a Private Message," or, "I got a Private message a 8:00).

Hatzlacha

Maybe it'll help others join up or rejoin (like Shoshana) I think it would be gevalgik if EL and Bard started with all their Yiddishe mama loshen so we can all shep nachas together! But make it sticky guard!

You know why "Shalom" means both "Hello" and "Goodbye?" Because, with all the tribulations our People have faced throughout history, we never know if we're coming or going!

Just as an alcoholic needs to avoid that first sip, a lust addict needs to avoid that first slip.Slip today? No way! ;)Fall today? No way, Jose'!
