Shushing is done by either people who feel holier than thou or people who are jealous that no one is talking to them, but the second someone talks to them in shul, they’ll carry on a conversation.
1ParticipantIt’s an actual halacha: when you shush someone in shul, you are being mevazeh someone b’rabim.

1ParticipantBan kitchen knives. Look up the stats on homicides using kitchen knives.
1ParticipantShutting down Hollywood would be a good start.
The mainstream media gives a spotlight to these people. These killers do it for attention. The news outlets shouldn’t show the murderers faces.
Video games has a bad influence on people.1ParticipantThere are traps that an American in israel may fall that you’ll likely not find in America. You won’t really find an American teen who’ll go to a bar following going out for ice cream. I’m just giving an example that’s pretty common in Israel.

1ParticipantRebYidd23 you are naive. I don’t think you spent that much time at a yeshiva in Israel.
1ParticipantAnd there’s less risk of a girl hanging out with a guy in the US
February 19, 2019 2:50 pm at 2:50 pm in reply to: Saving shul seats, sidurrim for others not yet here #16820451ParticipantSyag it’s because you’ll find an attitude in MO shuls that a Rov is a simple employee.
February 19, 2019 12:24 pm at 12:24 pm in reply to: Saving shul seats, sidurrim for others not yet here #16819481ParticipantCTLawyer The Rebbetzin should have respect. You should get on your knees for such a kavod. A Rov isn’t flavored ice cream.

1ParticipantRebYidd23 no. It’s just the מציאות.
GH you probably would’ve felt bad for Haman.1ParticipantYou have these pc Jews who tell us not to drink on Purim
1ParticipantBetter than a lot of things that people do
1ParticipantIt’s also a mega corporation that was going to get away with paying certain taxes. Who do you think pays for corporate welfare?
February 14, 2019 11:09 am at 11:09 am in reply to: Day camps ; BP vs. Flatbush – price, hours & program #16796261ParticipantJoseph no it’s because they Flatbush camps know that they can get away with it
1ParticipantJoseph, something stings at the nostrils when you don’t get kibbudim.
1Participantjdb so I give at the melave malka and buy an aliyah. What bothers me is I get treated like a fly on the wall, but when it comes to giving money, people all of a sudden send me emails and WhatsApp. In theory if I feel part of a Shul, I’ll pay for membership. And I’ve paid for membership before.
1ParticipantGH I hardly get aliyos anyway. The only times I’ve gotten was when I bought for myself. It just looks like a racket to me.
1ParticipantCTL that’s not the case in shuls in my neighborhood.
1ParticipantNo thanks. We kicked them out a long time ago.
1ParticipantWould you wear blackface in crown heights?
1ParticipantGH everything is insulting these days.
1ParticipantHow often has playing nice worked out well for the Jews? We wouldn’t have a state of Israel, if we played nice.
1ParticipantIt’s a public forum
1ParticipantI am thinking of doing just because of the liberal grandstanders
1ParticipantHow about not get divorced

1ParticipantMindful how did you arrive at that judgement? If you don’t learn shas, then you don’t know the basis of halacha.
1ParticipantActually learning to play an instrument is a life’s mission for some.

Yes but you don’t have to stay at your current job. There are a lot of jobs out there that pay similar salaries. If you have a business, that’s an accomplishment. I don’t think we were put here for a 9-5 job and to commute.
1ParticipantAvi K there is no free market in the US. It’s a crony capitalist system. China and Russia are closer to free market than the US, especially if you live in a blue state.
1Participant2Cents that’s the other side why it might not be a good idea. But, I don’t think the taxes take motivation away from people, when push comes to shove. Some people are businessmen and some people are workers. There will always be Alphas who run things.
1ParticipantDovid BT that’s why I asked if there should be higher rates on gross income
1ParticipantLawrence and that’s it.
1ParticipantStart with the ultra rich. Anything crazy gets shuffled through corporations and trusts anyway.
1ParticipantAlso the average frum Jew is considered to be rich, compared to the average American. $250k gets you a comfortable lifestyle living as a frum Jew.
1ParticipantOnce materialism in the 5 towns was accepted by certain people, it started becoming acceptable in other places.
1ParticipantThere may be Torah there, but materialism is out of control there.
1ParticipantWhy would you give money to Jew haters?
January 31, 2019 2:31 pm at 2:31 pm in reply to: What’s with all the hate crimes against Klal Yisroel ?!?! #16717231ParticipantA few factors. The stereotype about globalist Jews is actually a reality among a few liberal elites. They get many people upset with the poison that Hollywood produces, globalist policy that eliminates jobs to domestic workers, at . Also, instead of buying apartments in EY, we are moving for the comforts of American suburbs. I see a message of love to Israel while we can afford to and are physically able to. Then there is a flawed policy engineered by the left to let Islamists do whatever they want and they add fuel to the fire. The black power movement has been rejuvinated through black lives matter. The black people who owe civil rigyts to Jews spit on us. Mainly, it’s because we aren’t taking care of ourselves and the wrong ones call the shots.
January 31, 2019 1:33 pm at 1:33 pm in reply to: If Nassi is wrong, how do you explain why 1000’s of older girls are stil single? #16716851ParticipantBecause the seminary patriarchal welfare system is only meant for a few. Something that won’t be addressed at an askan convention.
January 31, 2019 10:57 am at 10:57 am in reply to: What is the best NY State of Health insurance plan? #16715741ParticipantGetting a job at mid-sized company.
1ParticipantNo one likes working.
1ParticipantGH, when was the last time you’ve been to Israel? Maybe some American flipouts in Israel say “kol tuv” frequently, but Israelis don’t.
1ParticipantWhy is he in a MO yeshiva? It sounds like weed is a result of a bigger problem. There’s little that can be done unless you don’t let him leave the house.
1ParticipantIf he says “Whut” every few minutes, it’s time to switch yeshivas
1ParticipantI think maybe a fun week at school would be better. The rich kids get to go on fancy ski trips or to Florida, while less fortunate dont get to have as much fun. We have created a rich class vs poor class system in frum Judaism. It isn’t good.
1ParticipantIn the old system, there weren’t as many choices
