    it probably depends on your financial capabilities and who it collecting.

    However the wrost part is that no matter how much you give, they will (at least some of them) will make you feel greedy.

    just say thank you!

    I dont know if he will or not be in gehinom, as I dont really care.

    I just cannot stand the fact that he makes fun others and of things that others keep holy.

    ZK,

    although I entirley agree with your post, however I do understand that there are perople that are on different levels of yiddishkeit than I am.

    there are those that have no problem dancing mixed, they will of course not undertand why you make such a tumol about this issue.

    However in our circles (I mean the one that I am in) it is clearly ovious that the chasunas have changed, for the worse. it pains me, expecially since I do know the origin and logic behind most of these ‘songs’ and ‘moves’.

    yes, it is challenging for the husband to remain supportive with an emotional and hormonal sensitive wife.

    However it is the husbands obligation to be there for his wife, she is going through hard times, you should be in this together.

    The best thing would be that you actually let her know that even though you do not really understand and know what she feels, you will try your best to be there for her.

    it pays!

    I am unaware of this Dollar vs Euro thing.

    However it is obvious that most desicion makers have their own agenda. Very few are really interested in our country’s best interest.

    Look how we deviated from a country that manufactured almost everything to a country that manufactures almost nothing!

    I have noticed this as well.

    I always hold the door regardless for the other persons gender. most goyim will always nod or murmle a thank you. But not all yidden will do so.

    However, I think that it is not because yidden are rude, it is because we are isolated and were never trained that A) you should hold the door for the next person, B) it is polite and correct to acknowledge the fact that someone held the door for you.

    Mothers, make sure to teach this to your children!

    Metzitza Bpeh is a Mesora, It should not be stopped unless absolutley necessary.

    However I think that there should be a vaad which should oversee all mohalim.

    there should be giudlines, which would include proper training, and saftey precautions.

    The vaad should be have rabonim as well as mohalim and Docotors.

    Each mohel would have to get certification, which would mean that he is well versed in halacha as well as in all saftey precations.

    recertification would be needed after a preiod of time.

    Just like we now require all bakeries to have a hashgacha certification, the same should apply for mohalem.

    I think that this is common scents.

    Ok, so what you are saying is that if I can prove to you that getting married is indeed toradig, you would understand my case?

    Apushatayid.

    Who is they? What yeshivoS have this rule. Doesn’t seem that the gedolim all said that this is right.

    Zichmic.

    First please explain, how come does one make back the money by signing up an additional 12 people? I thought that Ambit is here to save money.

    Next, I have heard (sorry, Only heard) that Ambit doesnt like it when you work the system, for instance they threw off someone that I know of, only becuase he did what you described, he recureted recruters to get more recuters, however the catch was that the recuters first recuted before singing up. so like that they came in ready to make some commision.

    so it is either them scamming you, or if your smart enough, you scamming them, all about knowing the system.

    That is correct.

    Also, according to secular law, there is no reason that you are obligated to donate blood. (hence the term donating is used).

    However, in a torah veiw, one can argue that even though no one can demand that you donate blood, however there is Lo Samod Al dam Reacho.

    there are not ‘many’ dangers or risks involved when giving blood.

    i am not tfighting any battle, I was simply stating my opinion. I have mentioned that more than once.

    i respect the desicion of the roshey yeshivos, and I am in no way to challenge them.

    that said, it is my opinion, that this is not toradig.

    You on the other hand present arguments that are only on a personal level, your argument is limited to the individual that wants to enroll in BMG,

    however I was speaking in general. concerning the entire idea.

    again, thatnks for letting me know my options, really appreciate that.

    OK, you really want me to reply?

    Chazal tell us to get married. you have no right to create any provisions. they do not have to mention three months or any other silly loophole.

    Regarding coming back early.

    that might be good advice. however this has nothing with what I said, I was talking in general. that in my opinion it is not Tora’dig.

    You dont really disagree, rather you have a way to work around this. good, your smart!

    Please be honest enough to agree that the freezer has nothing to do with what you just wrote.

    My first proof to that is simply there was no freezer before it was established in Lakewood, there is no freezer in any other yeshiva, i don’t think that Lakewood is the only yeshiva that holds the shulchan aruch.

    Ok here you go.

    A) it is NOT at the expense of learning,

    B) I would challenge you to first let me know that this mitzva has an exception, then I will chanllenge your challenge..

    I would like to state, that I am in no postion to challenge the daas of ANY legitimate rav or Rosh Yeshiva, I was only posting my opinion.

    Yungerman,

    You have not addressed what I said. It is against chazal.

    In my opinion, whatever paper a bachur signed regarding not getting married for a zman, might be invalid as it is a Massneh al mah shekusuv batorah.

    Look at this!

    i can understand any legistlation that is in place to inform you of the risks involved. or of any other healthy alternatives.

    However to punish, that makes no sense, unless you are in goverment and looking for ways to pay for certain goverment programs.

    the only tax that I can understand, is that we should tax unhealthy foods, the money should go straight to medicaid or medicare, so like that it is not a penalty, rather a deposit for when the eater will have to pay the medical bills.

    I dont really know the facts, I admit that.

    however my opinion is, Home births are irresponsible. birth is a natural accurance, it is well known that there are a lot of complications that can occur.

    Birthing centers, are OK only IF the patient has been fully screened and monitored, and ONLY if they have personnal at ALL times that are able to attend to emergencies that can (and do) occur during chold birth.

    Hospitals might not be as comfortable as an hotel, however they are able to handle potential emergencies. They do this on a daily basis.

    I think that this is extremly logical (using my prehospital medical degree as a knowledge base).

    you are validating apushatayid, however he had a different reason as to why you should use a computer only in front of other people.

    I have done the same in our business. there is no filter (only open DNS to which anyone with a little computer knowledge can easily work around.

    Therefore all computers are at all times usable only in front of other people.

    This weeks Mishpacha had an interesting article regarding something similar.

    Someone once gave a larger than usual sum for tzaduka (accumulated masser), did not take long for people to start knocking on their doors requesting money and appointments.

    I had the same thing, after donating to a cause, I made it to the list. Each night I have rabonnim and gabaim demanding to sit with me for just five minutes, it always turns into some 30/45 minutes.

    I don’t have the time for them.

    Besides that whatever I pledge, they start arguing that I have to give at least xxx amount of dollars.

    I really don’t know what to do about this.

    I think that the logic behind fake/realy jewerly is this.

    If the gift is a token of appreciation then the content of the gift is not so important (I am not dismissing the fact that the nicer the gift, the bigger the token)

    However if the gift is for an engagement or for a relationship, then the gift has to be real, since it is the content that matters.

    I know people that order fake jewerly similiar to their real ones, so they can leave the real ones in the safe, and carry the replicated ones..

    I think that it is not right to comment on any individual, since no one knows what transpired in their life.

    However I do live in a neighborhood which has a few couples, Some that I actually grew up with.

    Some do it out of ignorance, I pitty them.

    Others do it to rebel, I pitty them as well.

    The way I see it, is that they are throwing away a life of innocents, tranquility and happiness, to a life of of emptiness. A life that is built on trust to a holywood lifestyle which lacks it.

    If you are concerned that you will get addidcted, you have a very valid concern.

    I never owned an iPhone, however I had a BB and Android.

    The BB was a great business tool (which is really what i needed in addition to the calling capabilities).

    After reading some ‘great’ reviews on the Android, I purchased one.

    I hated it, as it is a great toy, with a browser on the go. however it really lacked a robust email structure, like BB has.

    Currently, to avoid I have an Ipad, with a regular phone. like this, I avoid the addiction, as I dont carry the iPad on my belt.

    however I have instant access to a browser and my emails (there is almost no start up time on the iPad).

    what makes one a memeber? paying membership?
