Mod 80 if you overtook second place you’re now in it. That is the only correct answer.
Reb Doniel, knowing shas doesn’t qualify you to decide he knows it based on a conversation.
Minyan Gal in the orthodox world sheigetz and shiksa aren’t as negative as you say it is. (I don’t think you’re assertion is wrong though).

it always helps to have a BTL. it looks good on the resume and can help for future credits.
What would be the downside to getting it?
For names like Noach or Dovid I would just drop/change a letter otherwise there’s no reason.
being that bris is halachah and not medical one should follow the mohel.
lesschumras they arent closing stores that make money. Had they been cheaper than the local groceries they would still have the jewish business.
I know they still had some jewish customers but it was a fraction of what they had in the past.
once a bris is not on time the 8th healthy day is when you make it not the moment it clears (unless it clears on the 8th day)
My frum Doctor told me my kid was fine for a bris but my mohel said medically and halachically are far apart and my son (eye infection) wouldn’t be able to have the bris if it doesnt clear up in time.
I have heard that the difference between jewish and non jewish stores can be deducted.
Part of the reason Path Mark in Monsey is closing is because their prices overall werent cheaper.
chicken is cheaper than vegetables. send to the cleaners less often, try to avoid credit cards and buy off brands.
Seminaries are all pushing an agenda if you want to have everyone’s opinion read a book.
I dont know if threads about specific yeshivas are a good idea.
Obviousy positives will go through but negatives can be hard to post.
Moq,
Most scholarships for seminaries arent from the school and many are academic based.
Make sure he fits in very well with the current crowd or he will not have hatzlacha there.
Scwekey and Yonatan Razel have very different voices but their vhi sheumda is beautiful. A pairing of different voices that work together would be beautiful;.
I took your post to mean only chasisdish you meant only people that stay in US. different point still wrong.
You didnt write only just “plus the additional satisfaction” which is another way to say only.
If I’m wrong, you can clarify and I apologize.
THEPROF WROTE “while I pay $6,000 for the same education plus the adiitional satisfaction”
That quote says only ben Torah.
5) Chassidish people do have less problems doing shidduchim then the yeshivish crowd – ask any shadchan
Factually incorrect and nothing to do with her/him implying only chassidim act like “fine yiddish maidlach”; which I took and take offence to.
“plus the adiitional satisfaction of knowing on a daily basis that she and her friends are acting like fine yidishe maidlech”
you wrote what I quoted and I responded to that, not about getting what you pay for.
“You can go ahead and pay $40,000 a year for your daughter in seminary while I pay $6,000 for the same education plus the adiitional satisfaction of knowing on a daily basis that she and her friends are acting like fine yidishe maidlech.”
Dont kid yourself into thinking that Chasidim have less problems then non chasidim. Both sides have some negatives and many positives.
safari is expensive and a short trip long drive. It’s not great for kids because they never leave the car.
They sell a fake set my 4 year old loved it last year.
I would say that you are in fact not that well informed.
While many girls “frum out” in seminary most don’t. Many may become more frum just as a bochur from HS through BM might.
by us they sell maftir yona and psicha for neilah, it’s a way to raise a little much needed money for the shul.
it dosent make my shul better than yours but not selling doesnt make yours better than mine!
bath,books and shma
I’m not chasidish but a “mixed” restaurant doesnt mean mixed on the same table.
The point may be there the example was bad imho.
My shadchan told me that my wife said yes when in fact, she had said no. She was too nice to tell me no to my face when I called and the rest is history.
I used to think your user name was meant to be ironic, after reading your post I see it’s ironic in a totally different way.
What business did he have there? maybe he’s a carpet salesman (pun unintended) or an electricion.
I hope no jews take part in this stupid idea.
A Rov regardless of pay has chosen to be a man of/for the people and should therefore be available for them.
Most Rabbonim are smart people and could have chosen a career path that afforded them wealth and luxuries.
you’re old fashioned, out of touch but have a point.
I havent had an experiance with a Rov that was only available for only an hour a day but if I did I would choose another one.
If they arent allowed into schools it will be hard for them to stay frum. It also wont make warm and fuzzy feelings about yiddishkeit.
There are so many tuiton/school threads I wasn’t sure where to put this but this is as good as any. It’s not BP specific.
To me making sure that frum kids can go to school is a top priority more so than non frum and tzedakah funds should go there before chinese auctions or non frum kids.
I had the thought last night when reading a letter from a Rebbi whose kids arent being accepted into school because he cant pay tuition. Why cant he pay? he hasnt gotten paid in months.
my wife did dual enrollment and it saved her time and worked out well for her.
Thank you!!! and thanks for posting that I had stopped checking it
As society gets more and more open and accepting, we have the opposite problem of discrimination. An adult child (meaning 18+) can get a job, live anywhere, make friends with people who have totally different values. If they find out he’s Jewish, who cares? Or cool, he has ethnic traditions.
A frum man looks jewish immiediatly so it doesnt apply.
a yid in sports. ike davis
“I did some computer work for my son’s school a few years ago. When I offered again, I was told,”we have a paid staff for that. What we need from you is tuition.”
so they went along with it until it had no value to them. seems sensible. I would imagine most schools would allow parents to trade a service of value for tuition.
I assume you’re right. I also assume that it cost them money and the return wasnt worth it.
It’s too bad because I enjoyed the variety and all music (with some commercials) no taalk shows.
charlie, when I went to summer camp they all had a version of that.
most people arent out spending on everything but tuition. There is a legitamate recession out there causing these problems for schools.
“Strikes and Unions are NOT the way Rebbeim should be acting. If this is their mentality, they should be in another profession”
No other profession would get away with not paying employees for months at a time.
The Rebbein obviously feel that the school can pay otherwise there would be no point in striking.
I agree that it’s insensitve and the “wisdom behind the location” is lacking. I still think it’s their right to build there.
This is America we dont care what other countries or even the home countries practice.
switch muslim for other religions and we’ll be singing a different tune.
It should be built.
As jews we should appreciate the freedom of religion and the right to build shuls wherever the zoning allows. to pick and choose whom we allow is a slippery slope.
EDITED
shevach and bais yackov in queens
your title is a good place
what age and city?
To me chinuch for a child starts from when they understand even if they dont full get it and arent completely ready.
I dress my kids in costumes on purim, I make them keep shabbos and I take them too shul all as part of chinuch.
The above was too yechezkel and like minded people but I do believe elu v’elu and he’s not wrong.
I disagree with mod. Shul is for davening but I’m not leaving my son at home until he’s 11 and ready to sit 100% of the time. I bring my 6 year old for over a year he davens a little snacks a little and goes out to play a little. My almost 5 year old isnt ready to behave properly for an extended amount of time so I dont bring him to shachris.
I guess I’m in between the OP and some of the others but I feel like in actuality I’m closer to OP.
**I dont allow him to disturb in the shul and I dont bring him to the yeshivish minyan because as someone said they wouldnt tolerate it.**
