    I think you should go to a yeshiva in Israel. You’ll get to experience being in an authentic Jewish environment and it will impact your life forever. What happens in yeshiva in America is that someone in your situation will be accepted in yeshivish that don’t have the best environment for growth. Though difficulty in yeshiva can mean a lot of things.

    There was an actual picture of Franken. There was an allegation against Kavanaugh which was unfounded. The Kennedy family are known womanizers.

    There’s one daas yochid in Flatbush who allows it. Then there are unnamed rebbes from boro park allowing ex Chasidim to carry in Flatbush on shabbos.

    Has any rav greater than Rav Moshe allowed the Flatbush eruv?

    You’re not an apikores for asking a question about halacha, but you might be for going against R Moshe. When will these rebbes who are permitting the eruv speak publicly?

    How come no rebbe makes an official statement that the Flatbush eruv is kosher? There was a kol kore written by many gedolim, not too long ago,that it’s not a good eruv?

    Volkswagons are hardly luxury. People like its driving performance. German cars are better than Japanese. The Japanese tried to annex Alaska in WWII.

    Converting someone isn’t being a light unto the nations. You refer him to a rabbi who deals with these things, if you feel that he’s sincere. I heard a rabbi say that the reason why the number of converts have gone up is because there’s a divine force that is replacing the reform, those who intermarry, and other secular Jews, with converts who seriously take up Judaism. If you go to AISH Jerusalem or Ohr Somayach, you’ll find converts who learn gemara 8 hours a day. And some of these converts know a lot of tanach, from when they were raised as christians.

    Besides gay rights. What about the party that is anti-Israel and sympathizes with Hamas? You elect people like Corey Booker, and when they get comfortable and after paying you off, they expose themselves for what they are.

    I’m wondering specifically the way the chazzan says the words. Psukei dzimra and birches krias sham has its tune, the tune for chazoras hashatz, etc.

    Joseph, some people who follow the CR, most of Williamsburg, a good portion of boro park, flatbush, and other neighborhoods, as well.
    Yitzchokm, that’s where they get you. They slowly shmad us, by giving us money.

    Joseph I think ubiq is talking about explanatory kinnos, where only a few are said btzibbur but the ones that are said are preceded by speeches relating to the kinnah. Sometimes the speeches are relevant sometimes they are hot takes which are inspirational but have nothing to do with the kinnah

    Choirs backing chazzanim go back to Europe. The former point is correct.

    CTL I wasn’t aware of the barber renting chairs arrangement. However this isn’t 100% of the case among barber shops. Tipping allowances still allows EMPLOYERS to avoid paying EMPLOYEES the full minimum wage from their own pockets.

    CTLawyer What you’re saying is true but it still helps them get around not paying $7.25 out of their own pocket. I know what the laws are in regards to this.

    ZionGate ill have an easier time explaining to my family why I’d go to Uman than going to a Sephardic minyan. Though I’d love to go to a Sephardic minyan. When I was in Israel and remember the vibes I’d get from the sefardim singing their selichos.

    The underlying issue is, should rosh Hashanah be a time for trips? Maybe making a trip to Israel where our homeland is, Should be a better place.

    But where i live the high holidays are dry. Yes the niggunim are nice. The chazzan has a nice voice. The people shuckel 90 miles per hour with eyes closed, and the rov gives nice speeches. But its the same style every year and it doesnt really feel authentic. This sullies my connection.
