Considering that this is unfolding during the 3 weeks as we are on the final approach to the 9 days, this doesn’t portend good for we Jewish people Chas veChollilo.

In August & September, watching the days getting shorter, and Motzei Shabbos getting earlier, and then finally cooler weather taking over.

A far cry from the intolerance spouted by some of the Chareidi politicians in EY.

Especially anyone who denigrates Frum Jews who observe Yom ha’Atzmaut & Yom Yeusholayim.

Touch base with the Sochnut

Perhaps these Jews were already burned once or twice by people whom they trust and who likewise violated that trust.

I have gotten burned lending my cell phone, for someone who just had to make this urgent call of a few seconds to let someone know where they are. So I’ll give you 2 examples, so you comprehend why I shall never lend my cell phone to anyone ever.

1) I was walking thru Har Menuchos this past Adar, and someone just had to call up to let someone know where he was in Har Menuchos; Thereafter I was getting so many calls demanding to speak to this person, for many hours thereafter. When I said I am not this person, they were becoming very aggressive & angry & insisting that I must know this person & find him, because he did call from my #.

2) After a wedding in Monsey this past Nisson, someone had to borrow my cell phone to call up a car service, as he had no way of getting home. He had to call several car services, and even then never got a car service. Thereafter, somewhere around 2.30AM this car service calls my cell phone saying that they see we called up, and would we like car service? Needless to say, we were woken up and it took us a long time to fall asleep again.

Needless to say, we are not lending our cell phone to any stranger at any time.

Thank you Torah613Torah.

SlichosGenendel:- I think that you should be grateful for even being allowed to be accommodated in their guestroom, all the more so, if your stay was gratis.

Most people I know don’t let their guest into their residence unless they are also there, so if anything:- you SlichosGenendel should be sending a very nice thank you note to your host.

Leave Mr. Snowden alone. I hope he alludes the American Government for ever.

Even if the US Government were so evil as to offer Mr. Snowden a plea deal, it wouldn’t even be worth the paper is is written on nor the computer memory where the e-mail would be stored on, in light of Jonathan Pollard’s saga, where we already know that the American Government will break any & all plea deals.

This is the response which I sent to an e-mail I received from a politician in Albany, lauding this court decision:-

G-D declared that marriage can only be between a man & a woman, so anyone who conducts themselves otherwise, or abets someone to conduct themselves otherwise, is a Filthy Abomination to the Almighty, who created Man & Woman and knows & understands what is best for Man & Woman.

truthsharer: And they did it in secular court! Should we all go and do to them what they did to Weberman for going to secular court?

I am so sorry that my tax money shall have to be wasted to sustain Weberman in prison for 103 years. This adds up to a lot of money. I guess this includes tax money to pay for his air-conditioning so that he could fast yesterday on Shiva Ossor b’Tamuz, whilst many Aniyim won’t have what to eat this coming Shabbos which would be a much more productive use of my hard earned money.

On Rosh haShono, despite being judged between life & death, we eat festive meals.

From 1 aspect, this makes it very hard to get into the right frame of mind and really be in trepidation of Yom haDin as we have such festive family meals.

Yet this enables people with weak disposition to easily get to Shul unlike Yom Kippur when many people become bedridden to be able to complete the Tzom. But from the other perspective, it is much easier to get into a serious frame of mind on Yom Kippur than on Rosh haShono, when we are feasting.

I was taught that each brother was born with a twin sister

Correct Oomis except for Binyomin who was born with 2 triplet sisters.

Every Jewish women is about to be wearing a white skirt & white blouse, 4 times in the next 3 months:-

1) Chamisho Ossor b’Ov

2) 1st day R’H

3) 2nd day R’H

4) Yom haKippurim

BTW I am referring to the last Mishno in Taanis {1&4} so it is absurd to refer to white clothing as ostentatious.

Technically, a woman’s pair of pants is a Begged Isho & not a Begged Gever, and by Toroh law could be worn by a Halachic compliant woman albeit socially she will get herself into social trouble.

Meanwhile I wear a watch 6 days a week and when spending Shabbos where there is an Eruv, I wear a watch 7 days a week.

By my standards, already abstaining from a watch on the street 1 day a week, is quite a high Madreigo, without abstaining all 7 days a week.

zahavasdad:- Notwithstanding your remarks, the chief Rabbi sets the religious tone for the country at large, which does have ripple effects on even isolationists, so who ends up being the 2 Chief Rabbis is critical to all & everyone.

It will be affecting Shemitta policy in just 16 months from now, as well as marriage/Geirus issues for a long time to come.

What do Rav Kaniewski shlita & Rav Shteinman shlita hold about Rav Stav shlita? Considering that Rav Stave shlita would be the Ashkenazic Chief Rabbi, what do these 2 Ashkenazic Gedolim recommend?

This week marks the 72nd Johrzeit of Horav Elchonon Wasserman ZT’L as well as the 2nd Johrzeit of Leiby Kletzky HY’D.

Whilst you Hrolfr are at it:- How does a lifelong Nozir with such long hair, wear Tefillin?

I have had a direct Pesak from Mike Bloomberg, not to have a gun, therefore out of respect for Mike Bloomberg, I do not possess a gun.

Not true about Hebrew and civil dates matching every 19 years.

If you would look on a good calendar, at what time the Molad was 19 years apart, it would be a much closer match.

Despite the timing of the Molad, the actual day of Rosh haShono is frequently pushed off by 1-2 days, to prevent Yom Kippur falling out on a Friday or Sunday, as well as to prevent Hoshana Rabba falling out on a Shabbos, so if we didn’t have these 4 Dechiyos {which Hillel in 4118 was authorized by Toroh law to institute to push off the actual day of Rosh haShono}, then the 19 year cycle would be much closer every 19 years.

dafyomi2711:- You made an important point too.

Another Halocho about Kaddish which is virtually unknown is the original Takonno, that Kaddish is to only be recited by 1 individual at a time. Having multiple people recite Kaddish at a time is only a concession, and leads to numerous Halachic issues, most significantly that when the reciters don’t remain in unison, it becomes 1 big jumble, and if some of them are not responded to or don’t have 10 people hearing them, are not even Yotze Kaddsih at all.

Just as wrong as someone walking in front of someone reciting Kaddish.

Whenever someone is reciting Kaddish, it is an Absolute No No to pass in front of the Kaddish reciter. One should imagine that there is solid glass wall in front of the Kaddish recite, and one simply cannot walk through glass.

I am shocked by how much disregard of this Halocho which I witness.

I am also shocked by people who sit during Kaddish, including even a Kaddish after a standing up prayer, whereby it is even more mandatory to stand up for that Kaddish.

Because internet is also bad for adult generations, and we we have to abide by the famous adage:- “Preach what you practice”.

Only in 2013 for most of us, will we be observing all the Chaggim & Taaniyos from Adar thru marCheshvon so early, as they have never come out so early since 1899, and won’t come out so early again until 2089.

I’m pretty sure that it’ll be just as applicable in 2014, 2015… This definitely shall not be applicable neither during 2014 nor 2015, when the calendar shall be much later than this year 2013.

Anyone who counter-demonstrated at the Israel Day Parade, cannot even be counted towards a Minyan even Le’eis Hatzorech.
