“Brony, if there is an accepted Halochic practice in a community, if you want to question it, it is you who has to bring proofs to the contrary.”
no. ff you can’t justify your actions at even he most basic level (halacha l’moshe misinai/chok/some othr broad concept like kavod habriyos), you shouldn’t be doing them.
while i’m here, let me poll the crowd for sources for to two practices that i have stopped doing for lack thereof: lifting pinky toward torah during hagbah (fun fact: you should wait until you see the words side before you say vizos hatorah, for rather obvious reasons) and lifting your posterior up (aka “standing”) when saying “baruch sh’achalnu…”. Haven’t found them, and no longer do them. come at me bro.
u kiddush club homies dont realize the trippy haftorahs u are missing. bone valleys, gate dudes getting trampled, other rad stuff. last weeks was pretty boring doe, gotta give it to u dudes u probably made the right decision.
It’s in pesachim, not horiyos (discusses something entirely different, as I mentioned earlier).
“they have more money than you will likely ever earn with your anti Halacha outlook”
lol never change dude. never change.
WIY, if none of them required you to shave everyday, then step up or stop out. also, the number of jobs i’ve had is irrelevant because i’m not telling people to risk losing their jobs so they can keep sefirah.
what’s the over/under on WIY ever having held a real job in his life? 2%? 5%?
interesting to note that the gamara in horiyos does not mention pigs or dogs, only camels (among a whole host of other non-animal things), which suggests that indeed they are for a different reason. and the girls should not be happy because of what some dudes on an internet board say, they should look it up themselves (artscroll it if you have to) and come to their own conclusion.
WIY, i have heard it, but the burden of proof is on you to prove that it is “normative”. also note that nowhere in the original post did they say anything about whether the “barely covering” referred to sitting or standing.
oops i thought you said 1 hour is not okay. apologies.
out of curiosity: why are you choosing a yeshiva based on location?
lololol you say “Halacha is halacha, hashkofa is hashkofa, and as far as I am concerned, emes is emes” yet you conflate the three like it doesn’t matter.
can someone, anyone, source their info here? yeah i know every by gives the “tznius is more than elbows and knees” speech ad naseum, but – surprise surprise – that doesn’t make it halachic. i don’t mean to say that its right, only that you shouldn’t present it to a caller as being contrary to halacha if it isn’t.
please dude, tell me where it says any of this. any of it. only then will i consider taking off my wading boots when reading your posts.
wait, so wearing “tightish skirts” that “barely cover the knees” is no longer halachically tznius? it’s over, the seminaries have won. surrender now, logic, and we will kill you quickly and painlessly.
the source is 100% kabbalah (see pesachim daf kuf yud aleph), so there need not be any common factor beyond the application itself. they may be prohibited for altogether different reasons.
i’ll sum up popas point in a way that doesn’t peacock my vast torah knowledge:
grouping does not imply equivalence.
“This girl wears tightish skirts which barely cover her knees. Also some of the styles she chooses are questionable. “
or, as i put it:
“She’s fashion-forward and wears beautiful skirts that always cover her knees”
it was like he was throwing it up for the alley oop doe…
wut is shomer eynaim? i guess the phrase “im shomer” has a different meaning now than it did when i was a kid…
lol im willing to support any rabbi who gets blazed. also, no one forces schools to give anyone scholarships, its done entirely voluntarily. i see you’re still in randroid mode doe – turn off the switch homie.
except here the relationship is neither adversarial nor zero sum. nice try doe.
plz explain why you deny sociology brother. the lady doth protest too much.
A Day In Ayn Rand’s America:
6AM wake up to a terrible racket: with all zoning laws eliminated, a coal-fired power plant is being built next to your house
6:30AM Breakfast – 12 whole eggs cooked well to kill the salmonella
7AM Dig up some physical gold from one of your secret caches to pay for the day’s expenses
8AM Drive to work, paying tolls every mile. You’re delayed because some rich doods paid for exclusive access to the fastest route to your jerb today
9:30AM With the economy in ruins, your boss greets you with a pink slip.
10AM Walk back to your car, stepping over pox-ridden hags dying in the street, running occasionally to evade gangs of feral children armed with Saturday Night Specials
11AM Back at home, work on lawsuit against coal plant for damages to your QOL
3PM Submit suit against coal plant online to a judicial company, get an email response seconds later: “Ding!” You submit the suit to all the other judicial companies recognized in your area and get the same response. You write to them asking for an explanation and get an automated do-not-reply email. You scan their websites for customer service contacts, but are directed to use the same online form that resulted in your ding.
3:30PM You smoke a lot of weed to calm down and fall asleep
7PM You wake up in a haze and hear some noises in your backyard. A gang with metal detectors is digging up your gold. You grab your trusty Barrett .50cal and tell them to get out. They respond by tossing a grenade through your window. You dive to safety just in time. Everything goes black.
10PM You wake up aching all over. Your gold and guns have been stolen. You dial up your police contractor for help, but they inform you that as you are behind on your payments they cannot help you.
irony dude, irony. i would say around half the guys in my yeshiva were legit birthers.
the level of racism in the yeshivish world never ceases to amuse me.
I thought everybody got past their randroid phase by the end of high school. guess not. pupa, dont worry, in a month or so you’ll go back to being a normal human and realize that all the galt gulch dudes are a bunch of soulless freaks.
nah w/ a bracha bro, dude has drones.
^ lol wut. stay off the green bro, it isn’t 4:20 just yet.
you idiot: a) as the world leader he won’t say until he’s sure. if this doesn’t make sense, you are an idiot 2) there are external imlication (think overseas) once it gets labeled a terrorist attack 3) he doesn’t want ppl like u going “hurrdurr kill the merslims” if it was just as likely to have been caused by any number of unhinged nut jobs.
yo how long did it take to listen to? the book is a freaking tome.
lol midas mulligan is my hero. at any rate, it’s pretty antithetical to our beliefs about caring for others, though modern yeshivish conservatards are sure to disagree for whatever reason. randroids are fun to talk to doe, always fun to get them going about the gold standard.
And to think I was all set to post the gripping tale of the time I helped Natalie Portman pick out a sefer in Eichlers. Oh well, some other time.
ayo popa. sounds like the girls will be dating u in DROVES. u get me homie.
you can’t prove it in one sentence, one book, or one lifetime. in fact, you cannot absolutely prove it (in the scientific sense) at all. in fact, your ability to prove His existence might only serve to diminish His greatness.
serious question (mods didn’t seem to like my last post for some reason, ignoring its profound nature): are there any from girls who smoke? i have yet to see one. maybe this explains the weight thing.
inappropriate terminology
“which are not susceptible to either logical or empirical disproof”
did i hear correctly that you are some kind of science instructor?
yeh i dropped out of MIT for dis reason. teachers were using metric instead of imperial to brainwash us into being like europe. i was a lone rebel fighting for the imperial cause.
your jewish mind tricks do not work on me…only money.
if only more girls were concerned about issues like dis, we wouldn’t have fatties complaining that noone wants to date them. shame on all of you. you go girl.
ppl lik u are y we get a bad rap. do your civic duty.
sry to hear abt all of you passing.
at least the squirrel passed
the first post is dense. “the more learners the better” isn’t infinitely linear dude.
Dude, have you been to a real college? Or is your perception of them just part of your brainwashing?
didn’t mean to leave u out my st. losers. pologies.
yo check dis: one time i got psicha, and den the gabbi forgot and gave me hagba too. i had to run so fast lol i looked like a flying tallis. u shoulda seen me wylin while doin dat hagba.

buy the slimmest fit you can fit comfortably into. non-iron > dry clean.
