    @AAQ,
    “because it is off-topic and he mentioned his position before. Combining multiple threads, I have an impression of Avira’s deah (ad presumably his teachers) is being rich on detail, whether halachik or factual, but somehow veering away from important central issues. ”

    There are quite a number of chadari organizations serving people suffering from ASD, including Hamaspik, Rayim, HCS, Ohel, Yeday Chesed, Share 24/7, Womens Leage, just to name a few.
    To say that the charadiy community ignores ASD is just false

    @1 “FDR was a light communist as well.”
    FDR yemach shemo. was one of the worse anti semites ever to walk the face of the earth, my grandfather was in the Rabbi’s March and heard first hand from him what a piece of garbage that man was. In fact I am sure Stephen Wise, Cordell Hull and FDR get a fresh log daily thown into the fire in the purgatory where they are roasting in for the behavior during the shoah

    @IYK, I was merely pointing out what a troll is, if it just so happens that every post that that person posted was trollish in nature so be it…. I was not pointing fingers.
    Ever heard of the saying if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck its a duck.
    There is very few things I agree with GH on, calling out a troll is one of them

    In internet slang, a troll is a person who posts inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.), a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog), with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses, or manipulating others’ perception. This is typically for the troll’s amusement, or to achieve a specific result such as disrupting a rival’s online activities or manipulating a political process. Even so, Internet trolling can also be defined as purposefully causing confusion or harm to other users online, for no reason at all.

    @Jackk
    Outspoken socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez remained silent as of early Tuesday about violent protests erupting in Cuba, while Sen. Bernie Sanders finally spoke out — to blame US sanctions rather than decades of Communist dictatorship.

    “All people have the right to protest and to live in a democratic society,” Sanders tweeted just before midnight Monday of the protests that started Sunday demanding “freedom” and the removal of President Miguel Díaz-Canel.

    but there is a HUGE difference between the golus of Boro Park, Monsey and London and non- golus of Eretz Yisroel.
    Oh Really? was it a non golus prior to 1948? by all mean please explain the difference, People like Rabbi YC Sonnenfeld knew they were living in Yerusalam but were in Golus regardless of where you are.

    @UJM,” And not have a fancy mansion or ostentatious displays of wealth.”
    Prof. Aaron Twerski wrote in this week Hamodia about Anti Semitism, he wrote that alot second and third generation post war have no feel for golus, someone had built a mega mansion and when the father came to visit he was mortified, he said this is not the way we live in golus and never came back to that house and this was a very very wealthy man.
    Yes we are in golus be it in Boro Park, Monsey, London and even in Efrat or the Old City we are in golus,

    @Quay, “I’ve yet to come across someone from a first world country with socialized medicine that would prefer the US system.
    Care is never worse in these countries. There is always the option of private medical insurance(and seemingly for far cheaper than it would cost in the US). But with socialized medicine, it ensures everyone has at least basic medical coverage.”
    I dont know who you have been talking to but I have a brother in the Uk and a son and nephew in Canada and they all say the system there really really really stinks, like waiting for 10 days to see someone for a broken bone, things are so bad in Canada they have a a tip bucket for the RNs

    @IYK
    I could not follow your long rant other then you were in and out of pyc hospitals, the little I was able to understand I will answer, I worked FT and went to school at night, got my degree and worked in corperate America, I had my own bank account since I was 16 and my down payment for my house came from my savings plus a 5000 loan from my sister and a 10,000 gift from my wifes grandmother.
    I dont like to talk about my personal life but after your rant I need to show you there is a thing call self sufficiency, my wife’s grandmother lost both parents in the camps, and she came out a 19 yr old orpha, she got married and set up a life of her own.

    @GH,
    On May 18, 1804, Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor, and made Josephine Empress. His coronation ceremony took place on December 2, 1804, in the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris, with incredible splendor and at considerable expense.
    Napoleon surprised everyone by not allowing the Pope to crown him. Instead, he placed the crown on his own head, and then crowned Josephine Empress.
    Hey if it works for Napoleon it could work for Rabbi CB Gluck

    @IYK “If we appoint a CR for the CR, will we be able to make minyan here and get aliyos here? ”
    You are mixing up a shul rabbi with a Chief Rabbi, a chief rabbi never get bogged down with such mundane stuff like who is a cheyuv for the amud or who get an aliya,
    in fact quite a few chief rabbis never step foot in the place where they are chief rabbi in, for example the chief rabbi of Amsterdam has a shteller in Flatbush, the chief rabbi of Ukraine lives in BP as does the chief rabbi of Galizyah a postition that only exists in his imagination.

    The title of Chief Rabbi is absurd, even in Israel its a toothles tiger for example in Jerusalem majority of the frum people there follow the Eida or Baba Boruch over the Chief Rabbinate.
    There are 3 people claiming to be the Chief Rabbi of Ukraine including one who lives full time in Brooklyn, 2 people claiming to be the Chief Rabbi of Russia, the Chief Rabbis of Albaina and Bulgira are not recogized by the handfull of Jews still remaining there.
    Someone who lives in Brooklyn calls himself the Chief Rabbi of Galizia an entity that has not existed for over 100 years.
    Any nominations for Chief Rabbi of the CR?

    I express my opinion with actions not word, therefore I never missed a minyan since covid, the first month in a outdoor minyan and since May 2020 daven in my regular shul indoors, Its a waste of time telling you why because you follow no one and answer to no one.
    As to commenting on your opinion frankly I dont care what you think or do, there are people who never left the house since covid and other who never change routines, each to his/her own
