Doing family Passover wine tradition. The small bottle was under $10 and I had no cash (shop has a $10 card limit) so I had to get this monster. Baruch ata Adonai, Eloheinu Melech ha-olam, boreh p'ri hagafen (the Hebrew blessing for wine)

Update: So. Much. Wine. I still don’t know if it’s kind of good or I’ve just been drinking it since I was 8 or so at Seder from my mom’s family’s little silver Seder cups

Temui Pj Gubernur Bali, BSWA Sampaikan Keberatan Pengenaan Pajak Hiburan 40-75 Persen

BALIPORTALNEWS.COM, DENPASAR - Pengusaha yang tergabung dalam Bali Spa & Wellness Association (BSWA) yang bernaung di bawah PHRI Bali menyampaikan keberatan atas pengenaan pajak hiburan 40-75 persen yang diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 2022 tentang Hubungan Keuangan antara Pemerintah Pusat dan Pemerintah Daerah (HKPD). Keberatan itu disampaikan Ketua BPD PHRI Bali, Prof. Tjokorda Oka Artha Ardhana Sukawati (Cok Ace) yang datang menemui Pj Gubernur Bali, S.M Mahendra Jaya bersama jajaran pengurus BSWA Bali, Senin (15/1/2024). Ketua PHRI Bali Cok Ace menggarisbawahi amanat UU yang memasukkan usaha mandi uap/Spa sebagai hiburan. Sebab menurutnya, Spa yang berkembang di Bali memiliki kekhasan dan telah diakui WTO sebagai usaha di bidang kesehatan. Pria yang telah menjabat sebagai Ketua PHRI Bali selama empat periode ini lantas membeberkan cikal bakal terbentuknya BSWA yang mewadahi pengusaha Spa & Wellness di Pulau Dewata. Terbentuk pada tahun 2002, organisasi ini hadir untuk menepis stigma negatif panti pijat. Awal terbentuknya, BSWA Bali beranggotakan 13 pengusaha dan terus bertambah dan sekarang telah mencapai 185 anggota. “Sejalan dengan penambahan anggota, BSWA terus berupaya meningkatkan kualitas layanan melalui pelatihan SDM sehingga usaha Spa di Bali banyak meraih penghargaan,” ucapnya. Wakil Gubernur Bali Periode 2018-2023 ini menambahkan, usaha Spa yang bekembang di Pulau Dewata memiliki keunikan karena dalam pengembangannya juga membawa misi penggalian dan pengembangan potensi lokal ‘boreh Bali’. “Dengan memanfaatkan potensi dan kearifan lokal, Spa kita sangat disukai oleh wisatawan,” imbuhnya. Sejalan dengan perkembangannya, sektor usaha ini makin banyak menyerap tenaga kerja dan BSWA Bali telah beranggotakan 12 ribu terapis. Bahkan saat berkunjung ke Polandia, Cok Ace memperoleh informasi bahwa 337 terapis Bali bekerja di negeri itu. “Itu menandakan bahwa usaha ini menyerap banyak tenaga kerja dan mendongkrak PDRB Bali,” tambahnya. Pada bagian lain, tokoh Puri Ubud ini juga merujuk definisi WTO yang menyebutkan, bahwa Spa yang berkembang di Bali linier dengan usaha kesehatan, bukan hiburan. “Karena Spa di Bali memang berbeda dengan yang berkembang di luar,” kilahnya. Atas dasar itu, pihaknya menyampaikan keberatan kalau usaha Spa di Bali dikenakan pajak hiburan 40-75 persen. BSWA Bali juga telah menempuh upaya mengajukan judicial review atas Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 2022. “Judicial review telah kami ajukan 5 Januari dan tercatat telah terdaftar 22 pemohon, termasuk pengusaha dari luar Bali,” sebutnya. Sejalan dengan proses pengajuan judicial review, dalam waktu dekat PHRI dan BSWA Bali akan menggelar FGD membahas pro kontra pemberlakuan UU Nomor 1 Tahun 2022 yang rencananya menghadirkan Menparekraf dan Menteri Keuangan RI. Terkait dengan keberatan BSWA, Cok Ace sangat mengharapkan dukungan dari Pj Gubernur Bali. Pj Gubernur Mahendra Jaya dapat memahami keresahan BSWA dan PHRI Bali terkait dengan pemberlakuan pajak hiburan 40-75 persen, di mana di dalamnya termasuk usaha mandi uap/Spa. Sependapat dengan Ketua PHRI, Mahendra Jaya juga menilai kalau Spa yang berkembang di Bali berkaitan dengan pengembangan potensi sumber daya lokal. Oleh karena itu, ia menghormati langkah hukum yang ditempuh BSWA Bali dengan mengajukan judicial review atas Undang-Undang Nomor 1 Tahun 2022. Namun, pararel dengan langkah itu, Mahendra Jaya menyarankan PHRI dan BSWA Bali mengajukan permohonan insentif fiskal yang nantinya diatur dalam Peraturan Kepala Daerah. Menurutnya langkah ini diatur dalam pasal 101 UU Nomor 1 Tahun 2022 yang menyebutkan bahwa gubernur/bupati/wali kota dapat memberikan insentif fiskal kepada pelaku usaha di daerahnya dalam mendukung kebijakan kemudahan berinvestasi. “Judicial review jalan, pengajuan insentif fiskal ini juga perlu ditempuh. Nanti saya akan mendorong pemerintah kabupaten/kota yang memiliki kewenangan untuk itu,” tandasnya. Pertemuan dengan PHRI Bali juga dimanfaatkan Pj Gubernur Mahendra Jaya untuk meminta dukungan dalam penerapan pungutan bagi wisman yang mulai diberlakukan pada 14 Februari 2024. Dukungan PHRI Bali sangat dibutuhkan karena Pemprov Bali akan mengintensifkan pungutan saat tamu tiba di hotel tempat mereka menginap. Dua mekanisme pembayaran lainnya, wisman diarahkan melakukan pembayaran sebelum tiba di Bali melalui aplikasi Love Bali dan pembayaran di bandara. Dalam pertemuan tersebut, Ketua PHRI Bali Cok Ace hadir bersama Sekjen PHRI, Ferry Markus, Pembina BSWA, Regina Winkler, Wakil Ketua BSWA, Feny Sri Sulistiawati serta sejumlah jajaran pengurus lainnya. Sementara Pj Gubernur Mahendra Jaya didampingi Kepala Dinas Pariwisata Bali, Tjok Bagus Pemayun dan Kepala Bapenda Bali, I Made Santha.(bpn) Read the full article

What are the Main Functions of Horizontal Directional Drill, Drill Rods and Drilling Muds in Rotary Drilling Method

Introduction: In the realm of drilling techniques, the rotary drilling method plays a significant role in various industries, including construction, oil and gas, and infrastructure development. This method utilizes several crucial components, including the Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD), drill rods, and drilling muds. In this article, we will delve into the main functions of these components and explore their importance in rotary drilling.

Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD): The Horizontal Directional Drill, commonly known as HDD, is a powerful machine specifically designed for trenchless drilling operations. It serves several important functions in the rotary drilling method: a. Boring and Pilot Hole Creation: One of the primary functions of the Horizontal Directional Drill  is to bore through the ground and create a pilot hole. This is achieved by utilizing a rotating drill bit, which is propelled forward by hydraulic pressure. The pilot hole acts as a guide for subsequent drilling operations.

b. Steering and Guidance: HDD machines are equipped with advanced steering systems that enable operators to navigate the drill bit in a controlled manner. By adjusting the direction and angle, the HDD ensures precise placement of the drill path, avoiding obstacles and sensitive underground utilities.

c. Pullback Operation: Once the pilot hole is established, the HDD facilitates the pullback operation. It uses the power of hydraulic motors to pull various types of underground pipelines, cables, or conduits through the previously drilled path. This eliminates the need for disruptive and costly trenching methods.

Drill Rods: Drill rods, also referred to as drill pipes, are integral components of the rotary drilling method. These sturdy, tubular structures serve several essential functions: a. Transferring Power: Drill rods transmit rotational power from the drilling rig to the drill bit. The rig's rotary mechanism drives the drill rods, which, in turn, rotate the bit to penetrate the ground. The strength and durability of the Drill Rods are crucial for maintaining drilling efficiency and preventing failures.

b. Maintaining Stability: As drilling progresses, drill rods provide structural integrity to the borehole. They stabilize the hole, preventing it from collapsing or deviating from the intended path. The rigidity and proper alignment of drill rods are critical for maintaining the accuracy of the drilling process.

c. Facilitating Additions and Retrievals: Drill rods enable the addition and retrieval of various tools and equipment used during the drilling process. For example, specialized drill bits, reamers, or cutting heads can be attached to the drill rods to adapt to different ground conditions or achieve specific drilling objectives.

Drilling Muds: Drilling muds, also known as drilling fluids, are essential fluids used in the rotary drilling method. They serve multiple vital functions throughout the drilling process: a. Cooling and Lubrication: Drilling muds cool down the drill bit and the drill rods, preventing overheating and prolonging their lifespan. Additionally, they provide lubrication to reduce friction between the drill bit and the formation being drilled, allowing for smoother and more efficient drilling operations.

b. Removing Cuttings: As the drill bit penetrates the ground, Drilling Muds carry away the cuttings and debris from the borehole. This ensures that the drill bit maintains contact with the formation and prevents blockages that could hinder the drilling process.

c. Formation Stabilization: Drilling muds help stabilize the walls of the borehole, preventing cave-ins and maintaining the integrity of the drilled path. They create a mud cake that coats the walls, providing support and reducing the risk of structural collapse.

d. Pressure Control: Drilling muds exert hydrostatic pressure on the borehole walls, counterbalancing the pressure from the formation being drilled. This pressure control prevents the influx of formation fluids or gases, maintaining wellbore stability and ensuring the safety of the drilling operation.

Conclusion: In the rotary drilling method, the Horizontal Directional Drill, drill rods, and drilling muds perform crucial functions that are integral to the success of the drilling operation. The HDD enables precise boring, steering, and pullback operations, while drill rods provide power transmission, stability, and versatility. Drilling muds play a vital role in cooling, lubrication, debris removal, formation stabilization, and pressure control. Understanding the functions of these components helps ensure efficient and safe rotary drilling practices in various industries.

𝐄𝐮 𝐄𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐍ã𝐨 𝐄𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨!

Nós existimos 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨 𝐝𝐨 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐫, que determina a nossa sensação de vida e a existência para nós. Mesmo se louvarmos ou amaldiçoarmos o Criador, 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐛é𝐦 é 𝐟𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐥𝐞. Tudo é controlado pelo Criador, e não há nenhuma realidade fora Dele. Na medida em que eu me anulo diante do Criador, eu construo a mim mesmo e alcanço minha essência.

O Criador criou uma barreira, uma ocultação. Portanto, quando Ele está completamente escondido da criação, parece-me como se eu existisse. Mas 𝐬𝐞 𝐞𝐮 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐦𝐨 𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐚 𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚çã𝐨, então, nessa medida, sou capaz de revelar a força superior e entender que realmente não existo – eu sou apenas 𝐚 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚 𝐝𝐨 𝐂𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐫.

Compreender que não há outro além do Criador é como uma pessoa se constrói. E nós vemos uma espécie de paradoxo onde existimos em “Não há outro além Dele”. 𝐄𝐮 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐧ã𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨! Meu “eu”, meu egoísmo, criado pelo Criador, não existe. Quanto mais eu anulo meu egoísmo, mais existo nesta autoanulação.

Não há contradição: ao entender que não há outro além do Criador, nos tornamos grandes e iguais a Ele, Seus sócios, em adesão com Ele face a face. Tudo isso se deve ao fato de Ele criar uma ocultação e nós 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐨𝐬 𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚 𝐨𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚çã𝐨 𝐞𝐦 𝐋𝐮𝐳.

You need multiple wicks in order to create multiple flames that merge (if of separate bodies)/have significant light, which is why you can hold together two birthday candles in a pinch!

If you’re using a pre braided/twisted/dipped havdalah candle that has numerous wicks within it, they can burn as is, without being forced together. But if you’re holding together two separate entities, the flames must come together to create a bright light like a torch.

Beit Shammai say: Who created [bara] the light of fire. And Beit Hillel say: Who creates [boreh] the lights of fire.

No, you are very definitely wrong. "I’m always going to push for accuracy over revisionism."

And yet your post is full of revisionism. I'll try to explain a few points. Tu B'Shvat is not "based in the calendar of the seasons for Jerusalem"

Tu B'Shvat is a holiday to celebrate the fruits of the Land of Israel

(just like most Jewish holidays, they link Jews and the Land of Israel. We can go through them one by one, if you'd like)

Jews around the world used this holiday to reconnect to the Land of Israel (see below) On this holiday, Jews also value eating the "seven fruits of the Land (of Israel)" As for this: Yes, Lurianic Kabbalah was largely codified in what is now Tsfat, but it was also codified in Spain and other parts of the world.

That is simple not true. And "Tsfat wasn't even Israel"? Wow. Notice that my article wasn't about Israel. It was about the LAND OF ISRAEL. And Tsfat was always part of the LAND OF ISRAEL.

Whether it was under Roman, Arab, Ottoman or British occupation.

Jews have always retained their connection to the LAND OF ISRAEL And saying there's "no connection to the modern State of Israel" is just like Christianity and Islam differentiate between the good Israelites and the bad Jews. It's what allows them to talk about Jewish history as if it's theirs and still be antisemitic. Sounds like somebody you know? As it happens, I spent a lot of time studying the history of the Land of Israel - and it's impossible to do so without realizing what an eternal bond the Jews have with their Homeland. I suggest you do so as well.

Accountant Haim Yoavi-Rabinovitch was born in 1944 in Siberia in a Soviet forced-labor camp where his parents were exiled. He was named Haim because the chances of a baby surviving the freezing cold there were slim. In 1946 his family returned to Poland and in 1951 they came on Aliyah to Israel. This is what he writes about his childhood memories of Tu B’Shevat:

“I was a six-year-old boy in the city of Lodz in the exile of Poland. The atmosphere among the Polish Jews, who were the remnants of a community that had once numbered three million Jews, was grim. It looked as if the communist government had once and for all closed the gates of Aliya to the Land of Israel. In school, Jews started learning Polish, something that hadn’t been done since the Holocaust, and a clear sign that the Jews that had remained in Poland would indeed remain there, it seemed like 'till the coming of the Messiah. On the day before Tu B’Shevat the Jewish community got a crate of oranges from Eretz Yisrael and they were sold at a price which wasn’t cheap at all, one orange per family. One snowy evening, Father z’l came home from work and decided to take me, a six-year-old boy, to purchase together with him the coveted orange from Eretz Yisrael. Mother z’l objected to her six-year-old son going out on such a wintry snowy night but father insisted. He took his tallit bag and together we set out on our way. We trekked through the snow and Father gave me the responsibility of carrying the bag containing the single orange we had purchased. When we came home, we put the orange in a large bowl which was placed in the middle of the table. Our Jewish neighbors came to look at the orange from Eretz Yisrael and my joy knew no bounds. I also invited my friends home to see ‘the orange from Eretz Yisrael.’ On the evening of Tu B’Shevat we were sitting at home around the table for a festive family meal. Father made the blessing ‘boreh pri ha’etz’ and ‘she’hecheyanu’ and then did the unspeakable – he took a knife and cut the orange form Eretz Yisrael. And I, a small Jewish boy, burst out crying. How could someone cut the only orange from Eretz Yisrael that I had been so proud of? My father also added the prayer that was customary to say outside of Eretz Yisrael on the eve of Tu B’Shevat: ‘May it be the will before You, our G-d and the G-d of our forefathers, that you bring us up happily to our land, to eat its fruit and to be satiated from its goodness.’ I remember that my mother burst into bitter tears. So great was the longing to leave the exile and go on Aliyah to Eretz Yisrael. I took comfort in the orange peels which I saved in a special cardboard box. The peels started rotting but I guarded them very carefully.

Note to Anti-Zionists: You cannot celebrate Tu B'shevat

Tu B'Shvat is the holiday where we celebrate the fruits of the Land of Israel. The holiday itself? Developed in the Land of Israel The seder? Developed in the Land of Israel (as did Kabbalah) It would be kind of stupid for you to celebrate Jewish life in the Land of Israel and then support murdering the millions of Jews who live there or tell them to go back to Poland *looks at Jewish Voice for Peace website* Yeah. If you want to celebrate Jewish holidays and keep up the pretense of "there's no connection between Judaism and the Land of Israel" - you may do so on Purim, if you skip the part of the Megillah that talks about Mordechai being born and raised in the Land of Israel, and most midrash of course. I'm sorry, but all other holidays are too connected to the Jewish homeland you despise.

strange halachic question: if you had a popsicle made of frozen grape juice, could you make kiddush on it instead of using a glass of wine? does kiddush need to be on a liquid?

Technically you can make Kiddush on Challah if you need to. Kiddush is traditionally recited on wine or grape juice, but it can really be recited on anything as long as you give it the proper respect. There are some Chassidic traditions to make Kiddush on vodka on Simchat Torah, for example.

"Kiddush" literally translates to "sanctification". The act of Kiddush is sanctifying something you'll consume to represent the sanctification of Shabbat and/or the Holiday. Traditionally this is done with wine or grape juice, since grape products are considered special, but Challah is also special, and as long as its a special drink or food, it can be used for Kiddush in a pinch. If you can't consume liquids or solid foods for some reason (medical conditions and pre/post-surgical requirements are what come to mind), then you can make Kiddush on a popsicle.

And if the popsicle is made entirely of grape juice, I don't think there's really any distinction between it and liquid grape juice, since they both have the same Bracha of "Boreh Pri HaGaffen" recited before consumption, and the status of foods in Judaism focus more on the ingredients than on the form.

To give you an example of a non-traditional Kiddush, though: When I moved into my new apartment, for my first Shabbat I couldn't find any kosher grape juice in the grocery store, and so I bought a slightly-more-expensive pomegranate juice blend to use for Kiddush, since I don't usually drink fruit juice and certainly not pomegranate juice, and thus I made the Kiddush on a special drink.

Di atas balok jirat sebuah nama lama terukir. Segenggam bunga boreh menjadi kedatangan yang dinanti untuk menanamkan kata hadir, kendati menumbuhkan dua perasaan yang masih sama-sama tertaut desir. Lupa bahwa di bawah telapak tangan yang sedang mengadu ada beban tak kasat mata yang menjadikan jarak antara tanah dan nirwana sebagai perjamuan terakhir.

Walaupun sesekali ada segelintir perasaan getir tidak sebanding dengan takdir yang sudah terlanjur lahir, rasanya rekam memori hanya bisa dipautkan melalui doa yang dirapal bersama dzikir.
