“Putting on vayser zucken sounds like a wardrobe stylistic choice in this case rather than any heartfelt commitment to the ideals.”
My kids send the kids to mainstream chasidisher schools such a Bobov, Pupa, SKver, Vitsnitz.
They are not chilled in the least and live the life of a echter chasidisher shteeb.PS the number two person in the East Ramapo CSD special ed department is a Halberstam whos huband and father both have big shuls
commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, I never fly close to shabbos or fly garbage airlines like Spirit where the employees have a don’t give a hoot about the customer because the are grossly underpaid and as a policy won’t rebook you on another airline, btw for the same price that you on spirit plus fees you can fly a normal airline line Southwest or Jetblue.
Keep flying them and pay those silly fees, I own shares in them I just wont fly them
commonsaychelParticipantThis is why I never flew them and will not even if I got free tickets:
Roughly half of Spirit Airlines flights were canceled on Thursday — and will be again on Friday for a fifth straight day — as the airline continues to cancel hundreds of flights throughout the week due to “operational challenges” and staffing issues that have thrown the budget airline out of sync.
The airline canceled 446 flights, or 56 percent of its flights on Thursday, according to FlightAware.
Spirit Airlines President and CEO Ted Christie said the cancelations come as the airline tries to reset itself after widespread “disruption,” he said in an interview with ABC News.
“When we reach this level of disruption, being able to recover does require a lot of resources, we’re not built to deal with this level of disruption and I think there’s some learning in there about how we might create variability in staffing so that we can deal with it,” he told ABC News.
“When we started canceling our crews got dislocated throughout the system. They were in the wrong places at the wrong time. And we needed to start to build that puzzle back together again. And unfortunately that takes our group a lot of time to do. So we started canceling deeper and deeper into the operation to give them that time,” Christie continued.“The good news is that’s now finally starting to bear some fruit. We are starting to turn the tide here and get our operation moving again, there will still be cancellations over the next few days, but we can start to build back to the full operation, and then build from the takeaways that we get from this last week.”
Airlines have struggled to maintain staffing levels after COVID-19 decimated profits —even though airlines received federal funding contingent on them avoiding layoffs.American Airlines appeared to be back on track after also struggling with staffing and other delay issues earlier this week, only canceling 1 percent of its flights on Thursday, according to FlightAware.
commonsaychelParticipant@UJM. how about this, my grandmothers both went to public school both here and in poland, without giving away too much info, she was related to both Sara Schniner and the Kolishitzer Rav. My mother has a secular teachers license, my wife by choice did not purse a degree because she is not a bookworm.
FYI tottaly not relevant to this discuss but I use a flip phone by choice, not because the Rabbunim assured it. so ur 4 for 4 on making wrong assumptions almost as good as your buddy AAQcommonsaychelParticipant@ujm, I see you taking the habit of your buddy AAQ of saying things with no basis of fact, just so happens that all 3 of my children run a far more chasidisher sheeb then I do

commonsaychelParticipantNow how is this for hypocracy?
The New York attorney general’s investigation into sexual harassment allegations against Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo found that Cuomo sexually harassed multiple women, Attorney General Letitia James announced Tuesday.
The office found that Cuomo harassed current and former state employees, as well as a number of women outside of state government, James said, as the office released a lengthy report on the investigation.
James said Tuesday that her investigation found that Cuomo engaged in “unwelcome and nonconsensual touching,” and made comments of a “suggestive” sexual nature. James said that the conduct created a “hostile work environment for women.”

commonsaychelParticipantThousands of Spirit Airlines customers were left stranded on Sunday and Monday after the budget air carrier canceled hundreds of flights, according to reports.
The Florida-based airline nixed 165 flights on Sunday and delayed another 341, according to FlightAware.com. Another 277 flights had been canceled as of 5:30 p.m. on Monday — 36 percent of scheduled Spirit trips, the site said.
Hundreds more flights have been delayed, according to reports. Photos on social media from across the country showed would-be flyers waiting in long lines to retrieve their luggage.
“It looked like a hurricane shelter,” passenger Rebecca Osborn, who was at Orlando International Airport, told USA Today
An airline rep blamed the chaos on “a series of weather and operational challenges.”“We needed to make proactive cancellations to some flights across the network, but the majority of flights are still scheduled as planned,” said airline spokesman, Erik Hofmeyer.
“There were people everywhere: little kids, old people,” Osborn’s boyfriend Eddie Gordon said. “They never came out and gave any type of explanation or offered anything… First, they said it was weather, then they said we don’t have enough staff.”
This is why no never fly Spirit
commonsaychelParticipantBeing CR one does not make rulings just cuts ribbons and makes nice droshos, the chief rabbis of Ukraine, Moldova, Galitzya, Albania, Bulgiria, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia and Honduras for example never made a ruling
commonsaychelParticipantif your going to be busy with PSAs how about one about driving outside the city? roads are narrow, you have poor sight distance and wildlife out there. every year we hear about some accidents with cars, this year being no execption, BH none fatal

commonsaychelParticipantReb E for CR
commonsaychelParticipantPSA for driving this summer,
Dont drink and drive, you may hit a bump and spill your drinkcommonsaychelParticipantNew York City’s likely new comptroller has made his first big flip flop, courtesy of Ben and Jerry’s.
Brad Lander, a City Councilman poised to become comptroller after winning last month’s Democratic primary, was once a staunch supporter of Israel who has now declared his approval for the ice cream company’s controversial decision to stop selling in the West Bank.
In response to Ben and Jerry’s announcement, Lander tweeted this week that “ending Israel’s military occupation is a moral imperative,” adding he disagreed with moves by the state comptroller’s office to restrict investments in Ben and Jerry’s parent company Unilever over the issue.
The Brooklyn Democrat said he was “a Jewish New Yorker who cares about the wellbeing of both Israelis and Palestinians,” but the leftward pivot is a significant departure from Lander’s days in the City Council, when he co-sponsored a May 2016 resolution “condemning all efforts to delegitimize the State of Israel and the global movement to boycott, divest from, and sanction the people of Israel.” That same year he attended the annual Celebrate Israel Parade.
commonsaychelParticipantWith wishes for a speedy recovery, I always admired your level of knowlege, a true expert unlike some of the commenters who think they are experts and have zero credenitals. I didnt agree with you on your political stands but that made it interesting.
commonsaychelParticipant@jackk, thank g-d the is a Jan 6 commission, you posted more stuff about this silly toothless tiger of a commission then you did in the prior 6 months
commonsaychelParticipantA maggid (Hebrew: מַגִּיד), also spelled as magid, is a traditional Jewish religious itinerant preacher, skilled as a narrator of Torah and religious stories. A chaplain of the more scholarly sort is called a darshan (דרשן), and usually occupies the ordained position of para-rabbi. The title of maggid mesharim (‘a preacher of uprightness’; abbreviated מ”מ) probably dates from the sixteenth century.
There have long been two distinct classes of leaders in Israel—the scholar and rabbi, and the preacher or maggid.
Based on the above, you defintely in line to be the Maggid of the Coffee Room, you come, post your torah and leave, whereas Reb E give the pilpul on everything making him more in line to be the CR of the CR
commonsaychelParticipantBennett Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, the founders of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, stated that they are “supporters of the State of Israel,” but still support the company’s decision to boycott Israeli settlements in the West Bank, in an opinion piece in The New York Times on Wednesday.
The two stressed that they are “proud Jews” and that Israel was one of the company’s first overseas markets.“But it’s possible to support Israel and oppose some of its policies, just as we’ve opposed policies of the US government,” wrote the founders. “As such, we unequivocally support the decision of the company to end business in the occupied territories, which the international community, including the United Nations, has deemed an illegal occupation.”
Cohen and Greenfield added that they no longer have any operational control of the company, but are “proud of its action and believe it is on the right side of history,” calling it “especially brave” and “one of the most important decisions the company has made in its 43-year history.”They stressed that the company drew a contrast between the State of Israel and the settlements in the West Bank, saying that the decision to halt sales is not a boycott of Israel and did not endorse the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.
Despite the fact that the company’s statement made a distinction between the State of Israel and West Bank settlements, members of the company’s board of directors stated after the announcement that they had wanted to boycott Israel in its entirety, but were stopped from doing so by the ice-cream maker’s CEO and the British-based parent company Unilever.
Wow with Jews like this who needs goyim
commonsaychelParticipant“Should I become Charaidy?”
No become a troll instead its much more funcommonsaychelParticipant@yserbius “Ben and Jerry’s is a private company. They are free to do or say whatever they want and the customers are free to buy or not buy their products.”
Actualy its a division of a multinational public company who’s stock is held by many state pension funds who may dump the stock because of anti BDS llaws and that can and has depress the stock price.commonsaychelParticipantBecause Unilever has veto power over B and J

The winning Team!commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, “what there were no takers? Sad. ” I guess that is in the eyes of the beholder.
On the ice cream issue “The issue is whether other american businesses will follow in the political environment that supports it.” Doubt it, Unilever stock lost 10% of its value since the Ben and Jerrys annoucement because they stand a good chance that the stock will get dumped by the 32 States in response to anti BDS laws.commonsaychelParticipant@eval, I see the comfort level in places like RBS, Jersualem Estates, Mamilla, Rechiva, Efrat and they put the level of gashmeus in chutz to shame.
Golus is a state of being not where you at that moment, if I am a tourist for 7 days do I suddenly change my status?

Avi Weiss started one that did that and it was a resounding flopJuly 23, 2021 2:43 pm at 2:43 pm in reply to: Are you allowed to give Tzeddakah/charity to Non-Jews #1994152commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, My Degree is in Safety Engineering with my minor being in industrial hygiene, i have done many years of air sampling etc, however when it came to actual plans we brought in a CIH and ME. I also ask my Rov shailos and dont pasken for myself, go to a dentist for fillings and surgeon it get operated on.
“I read up specifically on airflows [some of the work published last year was fascinating – such as measuring air flows in simulated airplanes] and did some experiments myself in several offices and shuls to measure CO2, particle levels – that are proxies for how much air re-circulates and particle level indicates how much air is filtered and and how much comes from outside ”
To say that becuase you read up on something makes you a boke in the subject is so absurd like having a crossing guard head the traffic depatment because he/she helped children cross the streetcommonsaychelParticipant@yabia, I really envy you, that this is the only thing that in your mind, BH that we have reached this point

commonsaychelParticipant@ rational “Rav can declare meat treif if it comes from out-of-town and endangers the financial stability of the local kosher butcher” thats a new one for me. as long has the rav feel ok with the butcher it does not matter where the meat supplier is.
I know of case where the Rav pulled a hecksher on a boat cruise after they included mixed dancingcommonsaychelParticipantsorry on the contrary, kashrus is kolo politics, for example catering halls under Badatz wont serve Coke product because it has Rav Lando Hechsher, and vice versa with catering halls under Rav Lando with Pepsi.
Young Isreals had a major falling out with OU and hooked up with Star KcommonsaychelParticipantBen and Jerrys maybe pulled from NYS cafeterias or park concessions because the anti BDS laws wont allow it to be sold in state owned places
commonsaychelParticipant@GH, sorry that stuff was yesterdays news, or to be exact 5 years ago news
commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, I am not going to dignify this meaningless drivel with a response
commonsaychelParticipant@Syag, why bother AAQ with to use Al Gore’s term “the inconvinent truth”. such as he claimed people died in the three shuls that I belonged to that reopend in May of 2020, when in fact no one died.
Who needs facts when you can just make up stuff as you go alongcommonsaychelParticipant@syag
Sophomoric humor is that which is juvenile and puerile. It is a type of comedy that often includes toilet humor and gags that are based on an appeal to a silly sense of immaturity, I tend not to dignify them with a response.commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, I am not in the running for CR of the CR, that nomination went to Reb E with GH being nominated as Associate Rabbi, my nomination is for Candyman of the CR
commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ there is a old poem about “suggesting general ideas for consideration”
There was six men of Indostan to learning much inclined,Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind), That each by observation might satisfy his mind.The First approached the Elephant, and happening to fall against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl the Elephant is very like a wallThe Second, feeling of the tusk cried: “Ho!—what have we here so very round and smooth and sharp? To me ‘t is mighty clear this wonder of an Elephant is very like a spear!”
The Third approached the animaland happening to take the squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up and spoke:”I see,” he said “the Elephant is very like a snake!”The Fourth reached out his eager hand, and felt about the knee.what most this wondrous beast is like is mighty plain, said he;” its is clear enough the Elephant is very like a tree!”
The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear, he said: “Even the blindest man can tell what this resembles most, no one can deny the fact this marvel of an Elephant is very like a fan!”
The Sixth no sooner had begun bbout the beast to grope, then, seizing on the swinging tail
that fell within his scope, “I see,” he said, “the Elephant is very like a rope!”So there you have it, my dear AAQ, you can ask question and do your research and act like people above and come up with the wrong answer.
