CT lawyer, talk about bias and ignorance! Did you vote for Hillary and Bill? He still is a serial adulterer and she defamed the women who came forward. Was Obama telling the truth when he said we can keep our doctors and insurance? when he secretly funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to Iran? secretly gave green cards to relatives of Iranian officials? visited and celebrated with the dictators in Cuba? stabbed Israel in the back in the UN?
You also live in a state that spends taxpayer money like a drunken sailor and was quite happy to have other states subsidize you.
The large majority of taxpayers have seen a reduction in their taxes. Who saw large increases, like yourself? people whose incomes were so high and their property taxes were so high that the combination far exceeded the $10,000 cap. If you have a problem, direct it to your governor and legislature. Why should people in lower tax states continue to subsidize you?
editedsyag, so you make it sound like anybody can be a teacher without training. I mention kolel because, becoming a rebbe for many is the next step. I agree a professional school does not guarantee excellence, but they spend years learning skills. Does kollel give a teaching degree or certificate, certifying that the bochur has learned how to manage a class, deal with unruly children, convey ideas?
Do rebbes get formal teacher training? Learning in kollel doesn’t count. Being able to learn is a different skill set than being able to convey knowledge to a child.
In my 12 years in yeshiva, I had some awful rebbes. When parents complained, nothing was done. The same rebbe who punched and kicked 2nd graders in my son in laws class was still assaulting 2nd graders in my great nephews class.
Are there excellent rebbes? Absolutely. They undid alot of the damage done to me, my sil and my great nephew.
Imagine what could be accomplished if the bad rebbes were weeded out.Without question, the good rebbes should be well compensated. Where does the money come from?
actually, it’s costing jobs. The technology to replace restaurant serving staff has been around for a while. $15 minimum wage has made it cost effective to install.
I was in a restaurant with 25 tables but onlytwo waiters. Each table had a tablet for diners to place orders. The waiters simply brought the plates. Fast food restaurants are replacing $15 an hour humans with tabletsJoseph, the shtriemel was related to fur hats worn by Russian and Eastern European nobility.
The widespread adoption of Yiddish centuries ago arose from several unique factors:
a. One has to ask, why would Jews living in the non-Germanic lands of Central and Eastern suddenly, en masse, decide to learn and speak a new language based upon a variant of medieval German? Because they brought what would become Yiddish with them. In the 14th century, renewed persecutions and atrocities drove many German Jews east to Poland ( which at the time controlled much of Eastern Europe). The Jews were still Germans by outlook and viewed their new Slavic neighbors as below them and continued to speak their native German rather than adopt the despised Slavic languages.
b. Because, for centuries, secular governments did not interfere with the internal business of the Jews( as long as taxes were paid) most Jews never had to learn the native language except as needed for commerce.The same held true, until recently, in the U.S.
People in the Lower East Side, Little Italy, Chinatown etc never needed to speak anything but Yiddish, Italian or Chinese because they never had to interact with outsiders. Today, most storesigns in Flushing Queens are in Chineseunfortunately, i inadvertantly garbled some words. I meant to say Trump obeyed the court order of the Hawaiian judge regarding the travel ban.
If the parents dont want to be separated from their children, don’t break the law by entering illegally. It’s that simpleCTlawyer, why must you introduce your anti-Trump bias into your answers? He has obeyed judicial decisions, e BBC en the dubious decrees of the judge in Hawaii. As an attorney, you know that separating children from parents who have been arrested is standard practice as you don’t want the child in jail. As opposed to breaking the law, Trump was obeying the law! Apparently, you had no objections when Obama did it. In fact, when the media rushed to show a picture of a child in a cage, they found out, to their embarrassment, that the picture was from 2014 ( Obama ) not 2018.
Fireworks, when performed by licensed, trained companies ( Macy’s July 4th, and others sponsored by towns, companies etc ) are legal, traditional and lots of fun.
That’s why
It took trained divers 6 hours to reach them, and 2 of the boys are too weak from malnutrition to use the scuba equipment. Another trained diver just died in an attempt to reach them. So, those of you making jokes ( transporter , submarine ) should be ashamed.
chances are that if the curb cut does not lead to a garage or driveway, and similar houses do not have a curb cut it’s illegal.

Joseph, nice move. You attacked Syag for not providing sources, while hypocritically failing to provide the factual basis for yours.
Joseph, what is your source that helped you determine that it is rare? I’ve not heard of Amudim but can you cite your proof that they are wrong?
yitzchokm, how do know there is no longer a y’h’ for it
Joseph, they can’t inherit, testify , or give their husband a get using meah rabbonim, leave the house without husband’s permission, drive. That’s just to start. That’s your definition of esteem?
is it right to spend tens of thousands of dollars to rent the Nassau Coliseum and transport people for an anti Zionist rally when families in your neighborhood ( Kiryas Yoel is the poorest village in the US ) depend on public assistance?
