    golfer: Until recently, no one – including the goyim – disagreed that a wife must obey her husband. It was only beginning in the 1900’s, after the advent of feminism that it was ever disputed. Before 100 years ago, if anyone argued that a wife doesn’t need to obey her husband, he would have been looked at as missing some marbles. There was never before a misconception that men and women are “equal”. That is a new idea that secular society has been trying to drill into everyone for almost 100 years now.

    Sam: What she is describing above constitutes dancing.

    Feif Un: That was only at the Tendlers wedding (and at the Choson’s wish, not Rav Moshe’s.) At Rav Dovid and Rav Reuven’s chasunas there was seperate seating only.

    My point isn’t the abuse is technically done with VAS plate. Almost every car with a VAS plate also has a placard in the windshield window from the ambulance company stating it has special priviliges. And this is what is abused: the priviliges granted with the placard.

    They should stress this point in Beis Yaakovs and in Kallah classes. The girls aren’t sufficiently aware of this halacha.

    The abuse is that they get a second VAS plate for their wifes car that isn’t used for emergency responses or someone who isn’t (or is no longer) responding to calls uses a VAS plate or a friend of a member gets a VAS plate.

    Another type of abuse is when a legit VAS plate holder — when NOT responding to calls — abuses his parking and/or driving priviliges that is (unofficially) extended to him.

    Oomis: That comment of yours is hardly a halachic justification to allow men to watch women dance or to allow women to dance in front of men.

    They officially don’t give any privileges. But as a practical matter meter maids and police officer will rarely if ever ticket a VAS vehicle. And this is abused at times.

    By calling it the 2000s, it is difficult to differentiate whether you are referring to the decade or to the century.

    When referring to the 1800s or to the 1700s people are generally referring to the century, not just the first decade.

    Marbe: If you want more days, you can start paying more tuition to increase the teacher’s salaries.

    Besides, Yeshivas start earlier than 9/15 and end later than 6/15 as it is.

    Everyone should follow their Daas Torah. If their rabbonim permit the wives to drive, then it is okay for them to drive. If their rabbonim do not permit the women to drive, then they should not drive.

    Everyone ought to respect each other’s rabbonim. Live and let live.

    Abcd: Wrong. The biggest increase in cost will not be electricity or utilities. It will be the increased wages to the teachers who will be asked to stay longer hours. That will have to be paid for by the parents.

    If the teachers don’t get paid extra for the extra hours (5% more hours per year is a 5% increase in salary to ALL affected teachers and other school employees needed during those additional hours and/or days), by the school increasing parental tuition to FULLY cover the additional wages and utilities, it will never happen.

    Period.

    The mother instructed about the shoes; she didn’t merely offer a refusable “suggestion”.

    And if not, imagine a case where the mother insists about the shoes.

    The Halacha m’doraisa befairush in the Torah (Aseres Hadibros) is in effect.

    Optomotrists, dental assistants, law clerks, law professors, and therapists work on average less than 40 hours a week and have a very nice amount of off days. I think there ought to be a law forcing these workers to work longer and have less off-days! And for no more pay than they are already getting!

    Where is the outrage here against these thuggish optomotrists, law professors, law clerks, therapists, etc. by all the big-mouths outraged only against yeshivas, rebbeim and morahs???

    The bottom line is:

    You will NOT get any more school days and you will not get any more hours per school day, until and unless:

    1) Tuition is raised a commensurate amount to the number of additional hours and days you are seeking

    and

    2) Rebbeim, Morahs, and teachers salaries are raised a commensurate amount of money to the addional hours and off-days you seek to add.

    Without both these conditions stringently applied across the board, you cannot and never will get the change you seek. Complaining that tuition is too unbearably high and cannot go higher may (or may not) be true. But even if it is true, without an equivelent increase of tuition — for everyone including those who cannot afford it — you simply will NOT get more school hours.

    P.S. Girl schools have no Sunday hours, so you cannot do a trade-off between Sunday and Friday. And if you do it for boys schools, you’ll end up with your boys and girls having different school schedules on Friday.

    This gezeira is a Shaas Shmad and we must be willing and ready to fight it with our lives or anything else, if necessary. The fact that the reshoyim behind this shmad couch their words in excuses other than anti-Judaism is meaningless, as they are obviously embarassed that stating upfront their hatred of Torah Judaism will sink their attempts to uproot the Torah r’l.

    Just as convinced you are that you are in the right and the other party wronged you, he may be equally convinced you are in the wrong and he doesn’t forgive you.

    Who is to say you are right and he needs your forgiveness? Perhaps he is in the right and you, in fact, need his forgiveness.
