    Sure, what’s your email address so that the paypal accounts can start sending you the money.

    I think that we will need to create an escrow account so that we know you don’t takeoff with the money.

    Toi, I will admit that I have no inside info on lubavitch. However some of the people from Lubavitch I met, seemed like nice people.

    I am against bashing an entire community. Each community has its faults.

    Best thing is to be open.

    It solves most problems. Unless your friend is a little unreasonable.

    Again, do your research.

    I am aware of two cases, in which started to be minor cases, however the therapists blew it. Causing the problem to become much worse.

    Don’t know how you can bash an entire community like that.

    Only cuz your not a lubob and were not born into a lubob family doesn’t give you the slightest right to mock them.

    Just go on and live your life!

    What do you consider a trophy wife?

    Looks or character?

    A wife that has a nice outside. Or someone that will be a great wife/Mother.

    Not that there is something wrong with beauty. Chazal didn’t have a problem with it. Only that I don’t think external beauty is what makes a women a trophy wife.

    I would suggest thaat whatever your desicion is, try it out for two months.

    It might look like its for you, and end up being a disaster.

    By trying it out for a few months you will get the feel and see if its for you.

    I have heard that there is a name, Momme’le. So what about her children, do they call her Mommy?

    what does it matter if you have a friend called Abba?

    Since your Fathers name is not Abba.

    The question the Doc asked is an interesting one.

    I would say if someones Father has Abba as a name. He should not call him Abba.

    According to your logic I am a MO?!

    No, I don’t think so. Actually I know so. I grew up in a MO neighborhood. There is a foundamental difference.

    Orthodox people make sure not to change their tradition. Working is not about tradition. Its all those ‘small’ things together that we hold on to.

    MO doesn’t care about keeping a straight heritage.

    This is my personal observation.

    One thing for sure. We all don’t know what the real truth is. We can just make guesses.

    DSK admitted without shame that he actually ‘did’ something. Only that it was consentual. Yuck!

    Yet I don’t think he should be prosecuted based on the plaintiffs own words.

    Of course tzadikim are only Human beings, and can make mistakes. Even Moshe Rabeinu erred.

    However if someone knows it, it is the gedolim.

    Doctors also make mistakes, that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t consult with a doctor.

    The Mordche uses the word Mitzvah for shnayim mikrah.

    So yes, it is a chiyuv. As per the reshonim and poskim.

    It is a mitzvah, as per the Mordche.

    And no, its not some minhag which was created by the shulchan aruch, has a mekor in gemarah and in midrash as well.

    Sam, are you saying that the only difference between MO and original Orthodox is Learning vs working/studying science?

    There are plenty of people studying science and many more that work yet they are considered Orthodox.

    I think that there is a bigger difference between MO and Orthodox.

    No, that’s not what I said or was trying to imply.

    only that the SA calls it a chiyuv, the SA didn’t ‘create’ the chiyuv. It goes back all the way to the gemara.

    FYI the reshonim use the word chiyuv as well as MITZVAH.

    Don’t know where you live but in most circles people don’t teach their children to respect the words of our gedolim.

    There might be only a handful of communitys in which people strictly follow the advice and guidence of a gadol or rabbi.

    Not sure why you jump to the conclusion that people here think of Orthodox as yeshiva life.

    Last year I made sure to notify my customers that we will be closed.

    However one customer contacted me with a very large order, I made the quick calculation, that should refuse to ship the order, he would never use our company again.

    So I shipped the order. Not only did the customer return the entire order, he started using our competitor.

    I learnt the hard way, now we are strictly closed!

    Yes, working on chol hamoed is not permitted. Some poskim go so far to say that it is a d’oreissa.

    Giving up some pleasure is not a heter for working on chol hamoed.

    The question is, can you work without doing a melacha doreissa?

    K9 is free and good.

    Best would be if someone else has the password.

    Or you can just keep it as a reminder that hey, this site is unappropiate and use your self control to steer away.

    There is one thing that I had with K9, we installed it in our office computers, it made the entire network operate extremly slow. Never was able to figure out why it happened with K9.

    I one heard something said in the name of the Chofetz Chaim.

    There was once a doctor that came to a town for a while. Local theives stole the doctors equiptment and meds. The next day someones child was severly sick, the parents came running to the doc, however the doc was unable to treat the patient since he had no medicatio.

    The moral is, by bashing Gedolim we are accomplishing one thing, that in the event that we will have to use them, they won’t be able to help us. Our children or spouses won’t listen or respect their words. Same as with the doctor.

    Good question!

    This ban leads us to believe that Lakewood does not have a requirement to shut cell phones in middle of seder.

    Working for a frum company usually has its benefits, like not having to deal with working on chol hamoed, tisha b’av and purim.

    However the frum compaies I deal with, all pay even for the dates they are closed. Doesn matter if the empoyee is Jewish or not.

    Is Isreal the only difference between orthodox and modern orthodox?

    I say go for the original version of orthodox, rather then the modern version of it.

    Yeah, I know that the modern version is more sleek and stylish. But its its still not the original!

    I am sure you didn’t really mean every person, rather every person that has issues.

    While I agree with that, please keep in mind that there some physologists that can actually ruin your life. Do your homework before its to late!
