Ben Torah

Sacrilege – It is assur M’DORAISA for males and females to be friends with each other.

I believe retarded was once upon a time the term used for what is today referred to as special children, and it was not an insulting term at the time.

That’s the second such letter to YW. Another gentile posted directly to the CR a few days ago.

WIY, BTW it is a bigger kiddush hashem to make a K”H amongst yidden, than to goyim.

So if you should have shalom with non-Jews, surely you should have shalom with Jews who aren’t keeping the Torah correctly. So what’s the question here?

WalMart near Jews? You must be referring to the summer in the Catskills…

Moq, its clear R. Levin had Daas Torah on his previous endeavors. Why don’t you call him — he is listed — and ask him who supports him on this endeavor. It only happened this week. Who are you to insinuate he lacks it?

And who is YOUR Daas Torah to publicly criticize a Rov? I don’t care what you think of him or not. You are demanding HE produce to your satisfaction creds, what are YOURS? Who authorized you to publicly, on a blog, criticize HIM?

What are Moq’s creds? Can we see it in writing? Who is your Daas Torah?

Who’e gonna watch the kids?

…or even saying hello to her, he left her for another 12 years.

Thank You.

It is interesting to note, that prior to ???? ?? ??? ???? Rosenberger essentially reinstating the widely neglected mitzvah of shatnes, through his innovative methods, the general public knew virtually nil of this requirement.

Compare that to nowadays, when an askan brings to the public’s attention a widely neglected mitzvah (either that should be done or something that should not be done) to try to change the incorrect behavior of the public, there is a small, but consistently loud, segment of people that will deride them for too many chumras, or to start implementing something that their grandpa’s in the ’40’s never did – so why is it suddenly necessary.

B”H they weren’t around to stop ???? ?? ??? ???? in his avodas hakodesh.

Hagoan HaRav Moshe Shterbuch shlita attributed the failure of Israel’s campaign in Lebanon on “the homosexuals’ obscenity and promiscuity in the Holy Land” and saying “we have not protested enough against this parade of abomination, and therefore we have received this warning.”

Love comes after marriage.

Mr. 1987: I’m sorry you find Rambam to be insensitive or thoughtless. There was no haskama, the ruckus was your own. I merely refuted your earlier comment. The Torah quoted wasn’t mine.

apy: The Rama is followed primarily by the Ashkenazic communities.

Mishneh Torah 15:7

A man should not marry a barren women, an elderly woman, an aylonit or a minor who is not fit to bear a child unless he has already fulfilled the mitzvah of being fruitful and multiplying, or he has another wife with whom he can father children.

When a man has married a woman and remained married to her for ten years without her bearing children, he must divorce her and pay her [the money due her by virtue of her] ketubah, or marry a woman who is fit to bear children.

If he does not desire to divorce her, he should be compelled to do so; he should be beaten with a rod until he divorces her. Even when he says, “I will not engage in marital relations with her. Instead, we will dwell together with witnesses so that we will not ever be in private,” regardless of whether it is he or she who offers this proposition, it is not accepted. Rather, he is required to divorce [his wife] or marry another woman who is fit to bear children.

The Ramah (Even HaEzer 1:3) states that in his time, it was no longer customary to compel a man to divorce a woman who has not borne children to her husband. (See also the Hagahot Maimoniot, which quote opinions that state that in this age, and particularly in the diaspora, there is no obligation to divorce a woman even though she has not borne children in this amount of time. At present, there are many Rabbis who have divorced their wives in such a situation, but at least an equal number who have not. Every person has the prerogative of making his own decision regarding this matter.)

WIY: What is the prescribed penalty of our Holy Torah for this activity that you fear we are presented as “hateful intolerant bigots” of?

WIY: Another mistake is you seem to think that because reporters only let you know this issue, that others aren’t addressed by him. They are. He has addressed a variety of issues, you just didn’t hear about it obviously. The Torah is also “homophobic”. What’s the Torah’s penalty for that activity?

jay, the Bais Yaakov system isn’t the Hirschian derech.

Why didn’t you ask if any of them have an account here?

That statement in itself does not indicate his position when the mother’s life is in danger.

SJS – question for you:

Suppose in 6 years both you and your spouse are, G-d forbid, out of work. You have 2 or 3 children in school. Tuition is $20,000+. Income is zero (or close to it.)

Does your views change? Will you accept a tuition break? Is it acceptable for you to be able to defer paying tuition?

That makes two of us.

New York has amongst the highest salaries in the nation. Hence the higher costs.

Nu, I said “like”. Make it 98%. And from those, most aren’t frum.

Additionally, I was talking about the domestic (out of Brooklyn) population. Not the world population.
