anyone remember ridiculous things you believes as a child?
here are 2 of mine, I can think of now, im sure there are more!
1) if you drink the havdala wine/grape juice, you will grow a mustache!
2) if you daven looking in the mirror, it is like davening to yourself!
I wonder if anyone out there "shared" misconceptions.....?
or if theres actually some kind of truth to it, but I got it all wrong???

women are discouraged from making havdala (though if they have to, they have to)
and you are not allowed to daven in front of a mirror!

RG, I believed the same thing about drinking havdalah wine gives you a beard-not moustache and if you walk around a table seven times with a candle in front of a mirror you will see the face of your bashert in the mirror........What BOBE MAISES!!

Yea like the time England got the wrong message on Didan Notzach and I was told if I said Ad Mosai 3 times moshiach would come that day. Well I went running around asking machila from my teachers chabad and not chabad and let my parents go to a farbrengen whilst I woke my siblings got them dressed in shabbos clothes and gave tzedaka etc and sang for all we were worth ad mosai. With my whole being I truly believed moshiach would come that day...... what a let down! :( Now ...... almost, nonething .....phases me anymore.

Motek you misunderstood NOT C"v ridiculous in the sense that I believed in Moshiach coming that day. Halavay I always felt the same way!!!!
But the fact I didn't verify on sources etc about England getting that message..... I was SO SO SO let down!!!!!!

Well, my parents always scared me into coming home on time for havdala by telling me that if I missed it, I wouldn't be able to eat till Tuesday. Very effective.

As an adult I realized why. The kedusha of Shabbos extends till Tuesday and there is something about someone in a certain situation not doing melacha till Tuesday because of this. I don't remember the circumstances.

My sister used to measure off the top of her head and add about two inches, so her choson should be two inches taller than her, and this way she didn't have tô stretch her arm like the Statue of Liberty!

wow, thats true. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday are affected by the kedusha of the Shabbos before, and Wednesday, Thursday, Friday are affected by the kedusha of the approaching shabbos.
(which is why the Shir Shel Yom of Wednesday ends with 3 additional psukim of Lechu Neranina)
