If you’re somewhere where there’s no minyan, there’s no chiyuv to find a minyan.
Specifically what kind of “training” does a marriage therapist receive, that makes him any more qualified to offer marriage therapy?
The answer is he receives training in goyishe ideas and philosophies as to how a marriage should work.
Bad idea.
And if you are to claim that frum marriage therapists are different, my question is how are frum therapists trained differently than goyishe therapists?
Answer: They are not trained any differently.
Avi: Look in Shulchan Aruch and Rav Elyashev again. They don’t say what you are saying.

The ARIZAL held it 100% muttar, and even PERFERABLE, to daven with this Nusach.
Go argue with the ARIZAL.
Take it up with the ARIZAL.
Gefen: Were you there? (This was in the ’60’s.) 😉
ZK: Beautiful explanation.
ZD: Many people were in tears at the stadium. Almost all voluntarily came for the chizuk. Many of those whose Yiddish is weak (or nonexistant) were having their neighbors sitting next to them explain the droshos. Many cancelled their internet the very next day.
Someone told me he called Verizon Wireless the next day to cancel his internet on his phone. The cancellation representative at Verizon, during their phone conversation, remarked to him “I don’t know what’s going on today; all day we are getting calls from people to cancel their data service!”
Such a young whippersnapper? A ’70’S baby?? Nahhhh, you know way too much. Was it the ’50’s?
AZ:
What was the reason it was decided not to distribute this booklet and to cancel the planned exhibition at 5:00? Who made that decision and what was their concern that caused them to not want it?
And what other things about the Asifa bothered you?
Gefen: The OP was hoping that, perhaps, someone from your generation might have some recollection of the event.
Jbaldy: Most certainly do have him asked directly. If you are to faithfully report Rav Matisyahu shlita’s reply, it will be they meant EXACTLY what they said b’rabim in front of over 50,000 Yidden.
Apy: I’ve seen Rav Wosner shlita’s psak posted in shuls all over flatbush, boro park, and elsewhere. In Litvish, Chasidish and Sfardish butei medrashim and shuls everywhere. It is written in loshon kodesh.
Jbaldy: The speakers at the Asifa said several times the psak is backed up by Rivivos Yisroel and is binding upon Klal Yisroel based upon Rabbeinu Yonah’s Shaarei Teshuva and someone who disregards it loses his Olam Haboa.
It is just you, since that is just the Jewish antisemites who make that up. The name of the town hasn’t anything to do with St. Mary or any Mary for that matter. It is simply the surname of the family that owned the original land and founded the town.
Oh, please. Name me one shitta you can point to that is more “meikel” than Rav Moshe, on this. (I’m not including MO rabbis.) Mekor? You simply won’t find any.
(I’m not discussing online discussions, which may be different than Rav Moshe’s teshuva. I’m discussing Rav Moshe’s teshuva itself.)
Everyone recognizes that the ban on television in the Torah community has been, and is, succesful. Sure, you have the odd-man out that still has a TV in his home r’l. But he is the odd-man out. He sticks out. He is a small minority (in the Chareidi community.) Yeshivos filter these families out. And have been doing so for many decades already. Everyone knows TV is very bad.
You also know it wasn’t always like this. In the 50’s, 60’s and even part of the 70’s it wasn’t uncommon at all to have a TV in a Chareidi home. It didn’t change over night. People thought TV ain’t so bad. The rabbis are overreacting. Yet b’H they persisted. Rabbonim fought television tooth-and-nail. They had rabbinical conferences. There was the famous Kol Koreh signed by rabbonim across the spectrum banning (yes, banning) televisions. Yeshivas cracked down on families with TV’s. Today, b’H, we can say it was a very successful initiative.
That is where unfiltered internet in frum homes is headed. IY”H it will be almost eradicated. Its defenders will have the same standing in the community as anyone who dared try to give a speech in a Chareidi shul defending having a TV in a Jewish home.
It is unthinkable.
You still have some people today actually defend having a TV at home or watching movies. So, unfortunately, it isn’t entirely surprising to still see someone defend unfiltered internet. (Despite that unfiltered internet is much much worse than TV or movies.)
If you get rid of the social usage and applications of Facebook, it absolutely has NO business use for a Yid, whatsoever. Virtually no user member of Facebook would continue using the service without the social aspect.
What on earth does “Even if you want to go as far as R’ Moshe”, mean? Rav Moshe was describing a very pashut halachic fact! (And a d’oraysa, at that.) You make it sound as if Rav Moshe was some kind of extremist machmir in the seperation of the genders!
It is the same resshoyim who caused its loss that made this so-called “holiday” to celebrate restoring the access they caused us to lose. It is their holiday. No thanks.
The Zionists caused the loss of Jewish access to the Kosel and Yerushalayin from 1948. So there is nothing to celebrate. If they hadn’t caused us to lose access, we would have had access after ’48 just as we did before ’48.
You can have my citifield asifa ticket for the same $10 I paid for it.
blackhat: Cause they’re embarassed to leave it in front of their ear.
pls respond
okay
You’ll hear the Shofar loud and clear.
What Orthodox yeshiva uses Lieberman’s Tosefta Kipshuta?
yitay: Not willingly. They were drafted against their choice. And the responsa has very unkind words for volunteer mercenaries.
Btw, I make note of your hesitation (“I think”) in stating whether you’d serve if drafted. This is despite that if drafted you legally have no choice. I don’t fault you for hesitating.
Sam: That’s a losing argument. If they made that argument they’d have to FULLY AND COMPLETELY accomodate ALL the halachic requirements of their conscripts. No kol isha. Davening b’zmano. 100% kashrus. No shomer negia violations. Sure. They’d far sooner badnChareidim from the army before they’d accomodate them like that. Secondly, we could still argue joining is against halacha on various grounds. Sakanas nefoshos violates halacha. Working on Shabbos is against halacha. And 1000 other things.
Concientous objections is a 100% legitimate claim. And one recognized by civilized militaries around the world. Hence the Amish, Quakers and others. Even atheists can claim concientous objections.
Sam: Are you kidding? They’d deny it by claiming halacha? Then they’d have to first get rid of all the treifos. Halacha. And no more kol isha. Yup. Forget about integrated gender combat. And closing all the buses in every city in Israel (Tel Aviv included) on Shabbos. They’d far sooner ban Chareidim from trying to join the military than start complying with halacha.
Because evading was impossible for him.
Joining the Israeli Army is the quickest ticket to becoming frei. Its reputation is one of a den of immorality.
Evading the draft isn’t easy. You can’t blame someone for not trying.
So many? Stop kidding us, mdd. Chareidim who take an exemption are a small portion of the national total of draft-eligible Israelis. Is the Israeli Army currently falling apart due to a lack of Chareidi inductees? Is the Israeli Army losing wars due to a lack of Chareidi fighters? Nope and nope. They are doing just fine without us. The only reason for the current noise by the chilonim is due to their rabid Torah-hating anger and hatred of anyone with a yarmulka.
Where is the demand that Arab Israeli citizens serve in the Army? Where?
Lt. Berenbaum was drafted and had no choice but to join.
Go to Canada.
A gift is optional. It isn’t mandatory or expected.
He was joking.
Sam2: I am saying Chareidim are conscientious objectors in the holy land. It is an exemptable cause in all civilized countries. In the US, under US Code of Federal Regulations Title 32, Chapter XVI, Sec. 1630.2, the Selective Service exempts conscientious objectors under Category Class 1-O.
And mdd and rob, yes, civilized countries DO exempt religious students specifically. In the US that exemption would be Selective Service Category Class 2-D for a religious student and Class 4-D for a someone working in a religious capacity.
So you have multiple seperate good reasons for an across the board exemption for Chareidim. Much as the Amish and Quakers, virtually across the board, do not serve in the armed forces even during a time of draft and active war.
To give or not to give?
42: Shaychos? You can copy it even if there is no mp3 sold – straight off the CD.
Chareidi just means someone who follows the generic default traditional manner of being a frum Jew.
Frankly, I am tired of the ENTIRE security burden falling squarely on the shoulders of ONLY the frum, while the chilonim don’t chip in the least. Why is that? Why? Why is the real security protecting Eretz Yisroel — Limud Torah — ALL being done by the frum while the chilonim deadbeats get away with zilch in limud Torah — the real security.
Until the chiloni deadbeats commit to at least a minimal commitment to intensive fulltime Torah study in Yeshiva for a few years, mandatory for every Israeli citizen, let them all keep quiet about army or national service. No mandatory army service until there is mandatory Torah service for all — the real security.
Breslever: Right, who cares what the goyim do. Any Jew who wants to learn Torah instead of Army should be allowed. Torah is more important and provides more protection. Like you said, who cares what the goyim do. And every Israeli should be required to spend 2 years fulltime in a Yeshiva.
100% of the Amish and Quakers and other pacifists do not fight at times of war. Nor join the Armed Forces in times of peace.
Quakers, Amish and other pacifists also have the right to not serve in the Army in civilized countries. Is Israel civilized that it’ll exempt pacifist from fighting in its wars? Because Chareidim are pacifists.
mdd: Every civilized nation has an exemption for religious students. Including the U.S. and Europe. Obviously the State of Israel is not a civilized nation.
