There were 3 people shot , not 4. Rosenbaum was reaching for the gun barrel. They were part of a rioting mob, not peaceful protestors. If the Governor had followed thru on his responsibilities, and called out the National Guard 3 days of peaceful rioting, arson and looting could have avoided as well as the whole Rittenhouse incidentDuring the trial, the man who was injured admitted under oath that he pointed a pistol at Rittenhouse before Rittenhouse shot him. Another prosecution witness testified that the mob was chasing Rittenhouse, not the other way around.
It also came out that Facebook censored any comment that could be considered pro Rittenhouse, including those of his lawyer. So, anyone following the trial on Facebook got a one sided point of viewIt was possible because Talmud Bavli wasn’t written down until about 500 c.e.
Ujm, name the studies
I’ve only one comment to make on this gilgul sheep story: BAAAH
Thanks Biden
Highest inflation in 30 years
Rampant crime
Southern border out of control
Afghanistan
Gas prices
High heating costs
Critical Race Theory
Broken supply chain ( not Trump’s doing
Helping the rich ( eliminating the SALT tax cap )Et al
Hakatan et al,
Zionism didn’t need a state in order to shmad. Betwern socialism, communism, and a whole slew if isms ( of which zionism was probably the smallest ) Eastern European Jewry was well on it’s way in the late 19th century to abandoning Yiddishkeit.What are you smoking?
Do we have to go through this again? There is no such thing as a Jewish tune! Throughout our history we adapted local tunes for our purposes. That’s why, for example, the music of Iraqi and Syrian Jews sounds Arabic, Bucharian Jewish Music sounds like all Bucharian music . The major difference between current Jewish music and older music is that we don’t remember the goyish song it was adopted from.
Can someone rationally explain how the mother’s name is a tznius issue?
What ive found most distasteful are the post election commentaries on MSNBC, CNN and the networks , particularly Joy Reid. From the extended clips that I’ve seen, ths loss by the Democrats was due to racist voters. Education was a dig whistle for white supremacy. What none of them mentioned was that the “racist” dog whistling voters also elected the first black woman to state wide office ( L t Governor ) in Virginia history.
BTW, Reb Eliezer before you call someone a liar re Critical Race Theory, make sure you’re not getting all your facts from CNN.
GH,
Yes, the 2020 stolen election claims should be forgotten. But why has Stacy Abrams been able to build a career on claims of a stolen election and Hillary has kept calling her 2016 loss fraudulent?It’s not necessary to search for mystical reasons for multiple, sometimes contradictory , opinions in the Oral Torah. For an accurate transmission of anything as extensive as the Oral Torah you need a stable environment. King Menashe’s 50 year reign of terror saw nany chachomim murdered and others forced into hiding. The Babylonians and Assyrians slaughtered hundreds of thousands and exiled others. The Romans did the same, creating an environment making it difficult to accurately remember. Just look at Masechet Succah. Much of the gemarah deals with the fact they couldn’t remember how many walls were needed nor the minimum or maximum size, and that was only 3 centuries from the churban.
In golus one can move to either Florida or Arizona, bith of whom subsidize private school tuition, including parochial schools
I don’t know what you’re talking about. Several of my friends have been to Israel recently.
Syag, I’ve observed some odd behaviours at shiva houses. A friend and his father were sitting shiva for his mother and shadchanim came to check out the father. Real estate agents came to a friends shiva in Far Rockaway ( with his mother’s passing the house was going to be sold ) and handed out cards. Miahulachim from Israel came to our Rav’s shiva to sign their letters so they could go collecting in the community
Reb Eliezer,
With all due respect, do you really believe these fantasy tshuvas?Reb elieze,
Oh please
GH, you have to admit that Democratics denigrating Republican claims of fraud, legitimate or not, are somewhat hypocritical. Afrer all, Stacy Abrams gained prominence in the Democratic Party precisely because she never stopped claiming, without proof, that she was a victim of voter fraud. Hillary still calls Trump the illegitimate president.
AAQ, you’re avoiding the question. There weren’t enough people to warrsnt cities
There was considerable publicity when this went to affect, both by the city and then the negative reaction .
Reb Eliezer, I hope you don’t mind I don’t take your dor haflaga comment literally
His nephews davened in my shul. Zebulon’s brother lived in Kabul before his death. Like the old Jewish joke come to life, they were the only hees in Kabul but each brother davened in a different shul ,refusing to go to the other shul
Noone has ( unless I missed it ) the 2 major reasons for wives going to work:
1. The kolel system. Unless one or both parents are providing support, somebody has to bring in income while the husband is learning
2. Yeshiva tuition. In my experience, yeshivas are reluctant to grant reductions in tuition to enable the mother to stay homeThe shul’s website has extensive information
CTlawyer, we disagreed on most issues but I hope we agree on the most important one. 5 years ago I was losing my eyesight and my doctor told me to get used to it. I found another ophthalmologist who discovered what was wrong and, after 2 difficult surgeries, my eyesight is 20/30. I wish you a similar successful outcome!
What was the sin of Banks and Jordan? They wanted to ask questions as to why pleas of the Capitol police for more help was ignored ( by Pelosi ). Pelosi only wants committee members who think like her, which will result in a lack of any belief in the accuracy of its findings. Recent polls have shown that the % public having confidence in the committee is dropping
To GH and jackk- had the unarmed protestor shot dead by the police been BLM , would the two of you still be so quick to exonerate the cop?I agree that we need the truth, but you unfortunately won’t come close to getting to it with the group that Pelosi empaneled.
This commission is a far cry from being impartial. Pelosi rejected Jordan and Banks but included Adam Schiff, a hyper political politician who repeatedly lied about having ( but never presented) damning evidence about Trump? She included 2 anti Trump Republicans. In many respects, this is simply Pelosi’s third attempt at impeaching Trump.
An example of a kashrus overreach. About 25 to 30 years ago, the Vaad of the Five Towns decided to add a second page to their hashgacha posted in store windows. Right side dealt with. Kashus in the store. The left side dealt with how the owners lived at home ( i.e. tznius, hair covering, did wife wear pants, did man daven with minyan etc ). All the stores refused, saying their personal lives were none of their concern . The Vaad backed down
Kolel life, not likely life
Ujm, ironically, likely life forces the mother out of the home to work. Someone in the family has to bring in money
GH, the Palestinians are fomenting the violence, period. Are you calling the final enforcement of a court order to evict arabs illegally squatting for 40+ years an inept act? Your friends Sanders, AOC and Warren are blaming only Israel, citing the LEGAL eviction.
Reb Eliezer,
How many people remember a death beyond a week , let alone a year unless the person had a connection to the gadol
RBZS,
You have no standing in telling how a parent/grandparent should feel on this kind of loss. You can only speak for yourself and hopefully you should never be in this situationCommonsaychel, the large majority of the descendants of those 12 million yiddish speakers who left the Pale no longer speak Yiddish .
GH, I’m surprised you didn’t get the obvious. Some of the Chassidishe yeshivas intentionally keep their students functionally illiterate in order to deter them from going off the derech.
CA, please. PEEP PEEP!. I agreed with Trump and I agree with Biden. We have no business staying in Afghanistan. All we are accomplishing is creating more severely wounded soldiers.
Hiw can CNN call itself objective when after months of non stop Gov Cuomo they ignored all of his scandals
OD, the Taylor Force Act, passed in 2018, says the US can’t make payments to the Palistinians as long as they continue to fund terrorists who’ve killed Israelis.
20 years ago the yeshiva my great nephew told my niece that he was ADD . Basis for the diagnosis? They expected him ,at the age of 7, to sit at his desk from 9 to 6 with virtually no recess and 1 hour for lunch. To the school’s surprise by 3 pm he would get antsy, lose concentration and would get hit by the rebbe for not knowing the place.
Instead of medicating, my niece found another yeshiva that was more accommodating and by the time he was 9 he had the zitzfliesh to sit and not get antsyAdditionally, the use of the term Jim Crow by Biden cheapens the term. I know how I feel when non Jews use Holocaust to describe relatively mild situations. Actual Jim Crow entailed lynchings and severe restrictions on voting rights, civil liberties ( i.e. separate white and black bathrooms, water fountains, schools, lunch counters)
GH, I would venture to say not one ballplayer has actually read the law. They very likely are going by the calm words of our great uniter, President Biden, who dishonestly called it a Jim Crow law.
The President was awarded 4 Pinocchios for his distortions by the left wing Washington Post. For example,the President said that the polls would have to close by 5 pm.
If anything, it is the Democrats and people like GH who are the true racists. After all, they are alleging that black and Latino voters lack ID’s and the intelligence to be able to understand what it takes to acquire one. BTW, is it racist for Delta to require a picture ID to board a plane? For the Post Office to require and ID to pick up your mail? To get a passport?
Major League Baseball is being very hypocritical. Rob Manfred, the Commissioner, is a member of the Augusta ( Georgia ) National Golf Club and plans on attending the Masters Golf Tournament this week. Until recently only white men were allowed to be members but this doesn’t bother Manfred. Baseball has also formed business relationships ( as has the National Badketball Assoc ) with China, which has put 1,500,000 Uighurs into concentration campsujm, Staten Island has had a large community for over 50 years
Charlie, Robert Byrd was a member of the Klan and a U.S. senator. No Democratic Party? Who do you think established and enforced the Jim Crow laws?
The language didn’t change, just the alphabet. Noone really knows why the change was made. Some of Bar Kochba’s minted coins have Paleo-Hebrew on them. I sometimes wonder when I hear a crush based upon the Aramaic letters in the Torah since that’s that how the Torah was written for centuries . How do we know that sifrei Torah had been written in Paleo-Hebrew ? The Sanaritans, who copied everything we did when the Assyrians brought them in, still write their sifrei torah in Paleo-Hebrew.
Um, I know about the Arizal changing the minhagim. But all the people who subsequently became Chassidim changed their minhagim and nusach to do so. Did they all do ateras nedarim? Ask their fathers permission? My point about the chassidim is that they are an example of when minhagim were subject to change
Reb Eliezer, you picked a poor example. We’ve had a calendar for approximately 1700 years so the reason is extremely unlikely, if not impossible. to reoccur.
I also wonder how Chassidim were able to abandon centuries of minhagim, to the point of even changing nusach and th ed definition of zman tefilah. I’ve heard the reasons but all it means is that you can’t change/abandon minhag except when you want to.Scenario: you’re at your doctor and he’s just given you your eighth refill for a powerful antibiotic. You worriedly ask, how sick am I?
He responds that you’re healthy, the infection is long gone. So, you ask, why the refills. He replies that even though the original reason for the antibiotic no longer applies, it’s now become your minhag and you have to keep taking it.Here’s what I find fascinating. Liberals and leftists fight against any measure that requires a photo ID for registration and voting. They base it on the belief that it somehow discriminates against people of color and poor people. Yet there is no objection when it comes to air travel as the truth is anybody can easily obtain, and in fact already has, as an ID
Most airlines require a photo ID ( usually a driver’s license ) and it has to match name on ticket. An upgraded form of driver’s license ( or non driver ID) called Real ID will be required to board any domestic flight as of October 1, 2021
Charlie, the South was NOT extremely hostile to states rights. For example, in 1832 South Carolina, under the doctrine of states rights, threatened to secede over 2 tariffs passed by Congress.
GH, I find it hard to believe you were a regular listener of Limbaugh
