This holds true for any topic. If you can not discuss it without resorting to embarrassing the other person, you are not qualified to discuss it.
did anyone tune into the oorathon where they supposedly discussed this very topic with a number of yeshiva administrators (i didnt).
regarding levush, tzitzis, brachos and i’ll add using a yiddish name to the list.
If someone can show up to work with nose rings, tatoos, a hijab or a name like shaniqua, then obviously jewish attire, making a bracha at your desk (not sure about out loud, since you dont expect the goy to say amen) a yarmulka or a jewish name should be perfectly normal, acceptable and not out of place.
Doesnt sound like you are interested in discussing anything with your guest, or anyone else. I’m not sure your guest wants to be preached to, I certainly dont. I’m out of this “discussion”.
depends on him and her. there are 18 year olds going on 28 and there are 18 year olds who have not matured a day past 8. each shidduch suggestion should be evaluated on its own merits on both sides.
Joseph surely knows this as fact, because he is Joseph and he said so, so, it must be so. Our own female summer neighbors who hail from willi must not really be driving, their husbands must have some sort of remote device that controls the car.
“In Williamsburg, and to a bit lesser extent in Boro Park, you’ll rarely see local frum women ever driving.”
When July rolls around, they are driving all over Sullivan County.
I was wondering the same thing. Only, I was thinking fake “charedim”
Can only speak for myself. Every Yeshiva administrator I have ever dealt with has always been mentchlich and reasonable. This included shabbaton fees and the like.
If the kalla showed up to the wedding hall in a burqa, I agree, they shouldnt go ahead with the chuppa.
just ask the makeup lady who is under the veil, she almost certainly touched up the kallahs make up before she walked down to the chuppa.
I didnt comment one way or another on the quality of the chinuch.
Some of the younger kids look scared of her (him?) All she (he?) is missing to complete the look is a trident.
I’m sure the night club atmosphere in both Meron and Uman is not bringing much simcha to anyone. Except perhaps, those in the travel, hospitality and entertainment business.
Join a chassidus. Send your kids to the yeshiva of that chassidus. I dont know about your kids getting the chinuch you want, but, the tuition will meet your needs as a parent.
How do you know there is a woman under all that cloth?
Echta V’Hu Ashuv….
Interesting concept. Its about 2000 years old now. All you have to do is believe that he did. Pretty convenient.
Why this was reported as “news” is beyond me. The over reaction by some while not surprising, is also beyond me. Do you learn in ponovezh? Why do you care?
Thank you YWN for facilitating the badmouthing of a Yeshiva and it’s roshei Yeshiva. (perhaps this is why the Yeshiva is banning the “technology” all it does is facilitate leitsanus and the bad mouthing of others).
Speaking as a guest. I’m just as happy to show up once to say mazel tov. At the chuppa.
Whatever your feeling about the “show” itself. The publication of the video is what I find foolish. For what purpose was the video sent to YWN other than self promotion?
“policeman wearing shorts or jeans?”
Iv’e SEEN policemen in shorts. The shorts were part of their official uniform. This is common in many warm climates.
” Have you ever seen a soldier in the army shedding half his uniform just because he’s hot?”
The internet is filled with pictures of marines doing heavy grunt work in just their undershirts.
You dont need a reason to wear something if it identifies you as part of a group that you want to show your association with. I believe Rav Miller Z’l said he would wear a yellow (or was it green) hat if that is what identified him as part of the yeshiva crowd.
I fit perfectly into my own box.
Saying that the people in Rashis Dor considered him nothing more “than a contemporary rav”, or that the Rambam was “just a leading physican/political leader” is like saying people in this generation consider Rav Chaim Kanievsky shlita “just another Talmudist”. It is downright disrespectful to Rashi Z’l , Rambam, Z’l and yb’l Rav Chaim shlita as well as a slap in the face to those who lived then, and those who live now.
Everyone has an acronym. When alive it us usually Shlita, after 120, Z’l.
tabby is a much better name for a cat.
whats worse, is when those behind the robo calling, spoof legitimate numbers.
Personally. I think this is an issue of “zeh nehne vzeh lo chaser” and those like ferd who are yelling from the rooftops and look like they are about to blow a gasket, should take it easy. In the case of 95.1, a legitimate broadcast license holder on that frequency, that is no longer “lo chaser” and the owner of the licence for that frequency had every right to complain to the fcc. 94.1 is currently not licensed to anyone (in the area of their broadcast) so leave it be.
is it mesira if the worse that will happen is that the fcc will confiscate the transmisison equipment?
Those bashing jroot. why? go to the fcc if they bug you so much. badmouthing them here probably involves way more issurim than ratting them out to the fcc.
“They are not being hurt financially ”
It wasnt my intent to claim they were. In fact, they are probably helped by the fact that someone is retransmitting their broadcasts. What I meant, and should have spelled out clearly was, the point of such a disclaimer (besides for legal mumble jumble that is attached to just about anything these days) is because anyone with the proper equipment can retransmit anything.
to follow up in yitzyk… this is why anyone who has ever listened to a baseball game on the radio has heard at some point during the broadcast the following -“Any rebroadcast, retransmission, or account of this game, without the express written consent of Major League Baseball, is prohibited.”
“in between chasidish and yeshivish”
That may make you chashivish (which I think means a little bit important) or Yasidish, which may you a member of the Yazidis in which case I dont think either someone who is chassidish, or yeshivish would be interested.
Louisiana – New Orleans
Kansas (Leewood aka Kansas City, Kansas)“I assume the mashgichim are the same (or could be)”
It is all in the standards. For example, many mashgichim in the mply of the OU, OK and other agencies that will certify non chalav yiroel products, personally only eat chalav yisroel and would not eat, for example a Hersheys bar, yet go to the plant on behalf of the OU and its certification.
Ironic, some will rail against “the zionists” or against a secular holiday during sefira, yet remain silent in the face of the night club atmosphere that has become lag baomer in meron and uman.
Just curious, how many diamoonds have you seen that you make the statement “most” are ugly. The thread began “boring” and has moved to ugly.
You are certainly entitled to your opinion.
I’m sorry you or someone you know received an ugly diamond.
“Is giving out toys with food generally acceptable Torahdik chinuch?”
please elaborate
hard to call someone with close to 40 million youtube hits obscure.
I did, I’m not yekke. It is my fathers minhag, as it was his fathers, as it was his fathers….. My grandfather at some point stopped making a bracha, but am not sure why.
“For example, if your rabbi’s name with title is:
Rabbi Eliyahu Ginsburg*
And you wanted to talk to him, would you call him…
1) Rabbi Eliyahu
2) Rabbi Ginsburg
3) Eliyahu
4) Rabbi”5) The Ruv
To AviK.
Those who wished to eat gebrokhts or kitniyot had it brought in by their visitors. It is a hospital, not a hotel. I dodnt ask, but, I would like to think that someone chose this particular hospital for the medical care they would be getting and not the food they would be getting, but, I’ve been wrong before, and I will surely be again.
Avi K. Please clarify your question. Is it the army at an institutional level meeting the needs of all soldiers or at the individual level. Your question, at least the way I read it, is it ok for one person to insist others follow his chumros. the way this thread has turned, you would have been better off asking, ust the army cater to the chumros of every enlisted member.
Personally, I was involved in the kashrus of a hospital that had a kosher kitchen. the decision was made to adhere to a standard of “non gebrokhts”, certainly, there were those who wanted their knaidlach and other gebrokhts recipes, but, the decision was made to adhere to a standard that some didnt need. that was a decision made at the institutional level and it had zero to do with a galicianer imposing his minhag on a litvak.
I dont think anyone answered the original question. The question was not, should the army provide a level of kashrus that satisfies all its members. The question is:
“Does a soldier who is makpid on a mehadrin hechsher have the right to insist that his comrades also be makpid”
The question is not at the institutional level but at the personal level, IE, in the barracks where for example they share a toaster oven. may one soldier insist his comrades do the same.
I’ll wait for Avik to come back and comment.
“their opinion must be given promimance”
Credence, I can understand, but prominence?
As has been pointed out, one can make similar arguments for corn. for whatever reason, the general minhag is not to eat corn, since Quinoa is relatively speaking new, Poskim disagree how to classify it. Certainly, in the field of Kashrus the OU is a credible opinion, and you may certainly consider it the most prominent opinion, but it does not mean that one must give them the final say on all matters Kashrus.
“you are not allowed to follow the Medina’s laws when they go against the Torah.”
So, we are back to where we started. A Rosh yeshiva stated that merely registering is againt the torah and instructed his talmidim not to do even that. The dicussion I am interested in is where is the hetter to burn garbage in the streets, block major highways, commit assault and battery against citizens trying to go about their day, everything else I could care less. I am not getting involved in a disagreement amongst Roshei Yeshiva.
“Many boys stop being Frum in the army.”
Tragically, many become not frum and have never been within 100 miles of an army base.
AviK. does protest = break the law? Are peaceful protests against the law? You are confusing several things, and quite frankly I believe you are confusing what I was trying to say. to avoid further confusion, I’m going to wait a bit to see where this goes.
“There is no opt-in or opt-out on God’s Laws.”
That is not the discussion here. What is under discussion is whether or not registering with the government and declaring that one is a full time Yeshiva student violates Hashems law in some way. One Rosh Yeshiva maintains it does, numerous others do not. Those who follow the rosh Yeshiva who says it is, the follow up discussion HERE is, is the massive disturbance to every day life allowed, suggested or recommended under Hashems law as well? Again and again, people have asked, did the Rosh Yeshiva tell his talmidim to go out in the streets and cause mayhem?
New York – South Fallsburg. Kiamesha. Rochester.
Florida – West Palm Beach.
Wisconsin – MilwaukeeHow do you define “torah community”, a community with a large Yeshiva or a community with Torah committed Jews? If the latter, there are many cities all across the world that qualify.
