BaltimoreMavenParticipantSchwartz’s Original Shtiglitz Herring is 100% without doubt the best, most amazing herring ever made. Use the thinnest non-flavored kichel you can find.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantAgain the Chassidishe have it right… you see many Chassidim married happily where the husband is shorter than the wife. I’m related to some.
January 28, 2024 5:11 pm at 5:11 pm in reply to: how can turkey as a nato member do business with iran #2256774BaltimoreMavenParticipantNATO is constantly talking about Iran, as it IS a threat to NATO countries and NATO allies. As one example:
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg expressly named Iran and the Lebanon-based group Hezbollah as potentially playing a role in the attacks, despite the Iranian authorities’ denial of responsibility.
“There is always risk that nations and/or organizations hostile to Israel will take try to take advantage. And that includes, for instance, organizations like Hezbollah or [a] country like Iran,” he said in a press conference. “So this is a message to countries and organizations hostile to Israel that they should not try to utilize the situation.”
December 20, 2023 11:39 pm at 11:39 pm in reply to: 10 teves daven screaming oovinay yerushalayim #2248336BaltimoreMavenParticipantDavening very loudly is an acceptable practice in Karlin Stolin chassidus and others as well. The OP didn’t say it was during shtille shemona esrei. If it’s not your speed then don’t. But don’t castigate those who do. And he’s right it’s a befeirishe possuk.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantI’m not Chabad.
That being said I’ve heard crazy stories of people becoming frum because they saw a menorah.
Who knows.
If thats what is motivating to them, kol halavod.BaltimoreMavenParticipantYou can create an unlimited number of Gmail accounts. So why not create one specifically for each purpose? Such as charity and another 4 posting articles
November 21, 2023 12:13 am at 12:13 am in reply to: Evolution of liberal reporting on israel in gaza #2241196BaltimoreMavenParticipantThe “has not been independently verified” garbage is worthy of another parody. Agreed.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantUpdate on the Chassidishe matzav in Baltimore. A few Kollel families have left and others have moved in. Many of the Kollel families are now looking to buy houses. The 20 New townhouses are apparently going up for sale soon.
To answer some questions;
What happens after kitta vav?
Every year the Mosdos hire another Rebbe. There is now a Kitta zayin. The boys are turning 11 this year.For how many years is it stuck by kitta vav?
Never stuck ever. It keeps growing. Now over 150 kids learning in the Chassidishe mosdos.What will happen if Kollel guys leave?
More come, as well as baalei BatimNow is the chance to get in on the ground floor. Eventually Skver or Belz or some other major Chassidus will move en masse to Baltimore
It’s only a matter of time
BaltimoreMavenParticipantBump
Two aircraft carrier groups with dozens of ships. Now a ballistic submarine, probably with nuclear weapons on board.
This could be it!! And if you eat shalosh seudos you can be saved (according to Gemora Shabbos)
Of course everyone got upset that an Israeli official said we could nuke Gaza and 1) Americans flipped out and 2) pundits said there would be fallout. Well, USA cannot lecture us because of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and there is apparently only fallout if a nuke is exploded well above ground. …
Just saying
November 1, 2023 9:55 pm at 9:55 pm in reply to: Kollel Couple Moving to Israel. What BANK to use? #2236603BaltimoreMavenParticipantThe key is to have a US credit card that gives good rewards and has no international fees, along with am Israeli bank that is easy to work with (not easy to find, and its a lot of paperwork. I’ve heard mercantile is good. Israeli banks are notorious for poor customer service, help lines only in Hebrew with long wait times and crazy fees. That’s why so many people like to use cash, but they are making that illegal top now. Don’t forget to file an annual IRS disclosure form if any israel accounts have over $10k because there are substantial penalties.foreign bank and financial accounts (FBAR)

BaltimoreMavenParticipantRocky
It’s worse. NYT idiots are publishing detailed maps of the exact locations of IDF positions and equipment. That’s aiding and abetting the enemy
BaltimoreMavenParticipantYou are wrong.
They changed the headline to reflect that she was rescued not released. Never buy the spin.
Israelis are notorious for using poor English.BaltimoreMavenParticipantFerd
Israeli soldier kidnapped by Hamas rescued during ground operation, IDF says
From CNN’s Amir Tal and Pierre MeilhanA female Israeli soldier who had been kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 has been rescued during ground operations in Gaza, the Israel Defense Forces said Monday.
An Israel Defense Forces spokesperson said they initially misspoke when they said she had been released from Hamas.
The IDF noted earlier Monday that “the soldier was medically checked, is doing well, and has met with her family.”
BaltimoreMavenParticipantGadol?
I’m not a Ravens fan
And it’s irrelevantBaltimoreMavenParticipantPlease read all of the other articles
She was freed and rescued
This one is probably a poor google translation
If you’ve ever been to Israel, you know that they are very stubborn about failing to use English speakers to do proper translations.BaltimoreMavenParticipantAlso terrible:
:One senior Lebanese official said Hamas has enough stockpiled to fight for three to four months without resupply.
“Yet with Gazans facing a humanitarian catastrophe, Hamas’s stockpiles raise questions about what responsibility, if any, it has to the civilian population,” the Times reported.”
In other words, The New York Times is implying strongly That hamas has no responsibility to the civilian population.
I can’t believe it’s even a shaila
Hamas was elected as the Gazan government
Worse yet I can’t believe that they are not criticizing Their failure to help the citizens.
October 29, 2023 5:05 pm at 5:05 pm in reply to: moving from Jerusalem to Cleveland – TIPS please! #2235491BaltimoreMavenParticipantCleveland is nice, but why don’t you look into Baltimore?
Also I really don’t think you should make any decisions about moving anywhere without visiting for a week or 2 to check everything out in person.
I also agree with the people who say you should stay where you are.BaltimoreMavenParticipantYochy
Having a basic level of courtesy and civil discourse is too much to ask?
BaltimoreMavenParticipantIt’s illegal to bring them into Gaza. Google it.
October 19, 2023 5:02 pm at 5:02 pm in reply to: Israel and Palestinians trade blame for hospital explosion #2233070BaltimoreMavenParticipantCT they are probably also kids and possul to testify. Or reword it two friends who witnessed you falling and they will testify it was your fault.
You knew what I meant. You get the moshul too. Let’s not nitpick.October 19, 2023 8:01 am at 8:01 am in reply to: Israel and Palestinians trade blame for hospital explosion #2232895BaltimoreMavenParticipantDoom, I disagree.
Much like minors should not be able to make gender decisions, so too thr law doesn’t hold them to the same standards as adults. Usually they are parroting what they hear in school or at home.
Those kids do grow up to be murderers so you may say they are all Ben Sorer Umorer but that would assume the parents aren’t happy with their life choices. Here the majority of parents seem to support the Hamas.
But our saying nuke them all supports their claim that all Israelis are soldiers and there are no Israeli civilians.

August 29, 2023 9:07 am at 9:07 am in reply to: Who’s job is it to get the Shul involved in lecha dodi #2220731BaltimoreMavenParticipantin Vizhnitz, the Lecha Dodi tune is customarily changed at Vehayu Limshisah, not Lo Saivoshi, as is the minhag elsewhere. I’ve heard that this started when the Vizhnitzer Rebbe moved to Grosswardein after World War I. The shul in Grosswardein was nusach Ashkenaz, and when the Rebbe went to daven from the amud there, they told him that their minhag is to sing Lecha Dodi, which was not done in Vizhnitz until then. So the Rebbe sang. He didn’t change to a more leibedig song for Lo Saivoshi, though, and the crowd only reminded him to do so when he reached Vehayu Limshisah. Nothing happens by chance — and so that became the Vizhnitz minhag.
August 29, 2023 9:06 am at 9:06 am in reply to: Who’s job is it to get the Shul involved in lecha dodi #2220730BaltimoreMavenParticipantKarlin Stolin doesn’t sing lecha dodi
August 28, 2023 11:04 am at 11:04 am in reply to: Who’s job is it to get the Shul involved in lecha dodi #2220460BaltimoreMavenParticipantIn the Biala Siddur the Rebbe Z”L says its a mitzvah to sing along so the Chazzan is not embarrassed. ואהבת לרעך כמוך
BaltimoreMavenParticipantI can’t explain it but my kids also like these shirts
I think it has something to do with the name brand
But also they can get them super custom fit. I personally would never fit into them.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantduct tape refers to a range of tapes manufactured using three components – a rubber-based adhesive, cloth, and a backing. The term “duck tape” today refers to a specific brand of duct tape. Duck Brand® duct tape takes its name from the original name of duct tape
Why did duck tape become duct tape?
It was commonly used in construction to wrap air ducts. Following this application, the name “duct tape” came into use in the 1950s, along with tape products that were colored silvery gray like tin ductwork. Specialized heat- and cold-resistant tapes were developed for heating and air-conditioning ducts.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantWhite reflects heat better than blue. Clearly they felt a person who doesn’t know that isn’t a good fit.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantPart of tort reform is doing away with many clasa actions. Do you realize that too many times we have needed class actions to accomplish changes that never otherwise would have happened? Asbestos. Cigarettes. Car manufacturers who deliberately choose to avoid a recall to fix a defect because the recall will cost more than paying out a few wrongful death claims. It’s easy to criticize the system until you need it. If there is fraud then address that, not taking down the entire system
BaltimoreMavenParticipantUJM and other critics
I hope you never need an attorney to represent you
I hope you are never injured and get a small tort award
There is a jury system set out in the law for a reason. You think you know better than the jury. Vote with your feet and move to Canada.
BaltimoreMavenParticipant*Young girl rescued from gun safe inside North Carolina sporting goods store-*
• Firefighters had to cut into a gun safe inside a Wilmington, North Carolina sporting goods store to rescue a little girl stuck inside.
• Authorities say the girl’s sister accidentally locked her inside the safe and the workers at the store didn’t have a key, so they called 911.
• The firefighters were able to cut the hinges off the safe and get the girl out.
I guess not all safes are crackproof
BaltimoreMavenParticipantOur Shabbos Sheva Brochos was at camp MaNaVu with 1000 people I never met before.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantHow are you supposed to see the haircut if you don’t have a mirror?
BaltimoreMavenParticipantThe Chassidishe Kollel and kehillah have integrated nicely. Everyone in Baltimore loves and appreciates the Chassidim. They do daven everywhere but that shows they have integrated. There are at least 4 Chasssidishe shuls like Taubs Eichenstein Kedushas Yisroel Sternhills and a fee other nusach sefard shul as well. ..at least two of the Kollel Yungeleit give shiurim at other shuls in the community and upcoming Lag BaOmer bonfire gets hundreds of attendees across the spectrum.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantAnd in Baltimore the Kollel is growing, the Mosdos are growing, working baalei batim are moving to town and housing is cheap. It’s the next Lakewood. Get in on the ground floor!!
BaltimoreMavenParticipantMeir G
You are 100% wrong. The QUALITY of life out of town is amazing and anyone who left NY to come to Baltimore as an example raves about the trees, grass, kess traffic, healthy living, excellent mosdos etc etc. There is Chassidishe shechita and cholov Yisroel milk and an eruv everyone holds by.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantDetroit It’s nice. They have cheap housing
Chicago is nice too
Both of them you need to get on a plane to reach from new york
Is same with florida and phoenix
Baltimore is affordable and three hours away by car

BaltimoreMavenParticipantYO a Chassidishe Kollel has Chassidishe Yungeleit and learns mainly halacha lemaaseh to my understanding. These are serious learning Yungeleit
BaltimoreMavenParticipantBaltimore has a full preschool and full girls school and a real cheder.
Vouchers for daycare pay for the daycare costs if the mother works or is in school or otherwise qualifies.BaltimoreMavenParticipant150 children altogether throughout the Mosdos. The Kollel has about 20 full time learning Yungeleit. Google Chassidish Baltimore or Baltimore Chassidish Kollel. There are tons of articles and even ongoing programs to incentivize people to move. The Mosdos add a grade every year as the community grows. And there are tons of Chassidim like Rabbi Eichenstein, Rabbi Taub and others who have sent to local Mosdos before the Kollel opened and their kids are 100% Chassidish.
BaltimoreMavenParticipantBaltimore has had a Chassidishe Kollel for 8 years. The Mosdos have 150 children bli ayin hora in a daycare (licensed with vouchers), preschool, girls school and cheder up to Kittah Vuv. Chassidishe shechita, solid Eruv and affordable housing. 50 shuls in town including Kedushas Yisroel and the Chassidishe Kollel run by Rav Amrom Jungreis who is the Domet”z in Netai Gavriel Beis Din. They have had over 100 families come for Shabbos and a few dozen are actively looking to buy houses and to move.
