Lusksen [noodle] will be just fine, a Kokosh cake will win you some points with Reb E being that he is a fifty sixer

It helped narrow down the pool of eligable bucherim

@johnklets, the OP wrote that we should share our unpleasant childhood memories, so I listed two, and thoses had nothing to do with punishments,

@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.

@IYK “In my days, no one would listen, so everyone was complicit. Judaism failed me. Humanity failed me. To this day, I see every human as a potential danger to me. All I can do is adapt to live among a society that does not want to change”
Guess what, I got petch from my parents, the Rebbe, the Principal, I got an injection in my rear, I had rectal temps taken and I didnt grow up blaming everyone, I hold down a demanding job, got married and own my own home

Ari-Free for assistant chief rabbi of the coffee room

@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.

I nominate Reb Elizer as Chief Rabbi of the CR

You joined to post this?

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?

@AAQ, “Please post your research or comment on mine. The thing I do not care about is expressing opinions”
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

@AAQ, Ok let me make it simple that even you can understand, I mind my own business and you mind your own business and quit telling people how to live their lifes

Why do you keep changing your username?

BH, Covid is over, this election is over and now this is what people are worried about.

Loads of newbies here, welcome
Try masbia

@AAQ, I also never heard from any Rabbis who had a permissive opinion, how about actions speak louder then words? One shul opened right after Peasch 2020, second two week later, 3rd prior to shevous, obviously those rabbanim did their analizing and came to a conclusion that you or your idol Dr Fauci liked.
PS in this week parsha Bilam’s donkey gave his opinion you can be a donkey and have opinion too.
PSS where is your retraction

“Ha-Shem creates viruses and germs, and it is not for us to argue or question Ha-Shem. However Ha-Shem is not responsible for creating power-grabbing politicians, political correct scientists, or mass media drumming up circulation with fake news.”
Kudos
How well said!

@shimon nodel, the only persons that I “malicious slander” are trolls, as to my backup of what I wrote there are several articles written about this issue and about 2/3s of the BTs that I know are dealing with it, I don’t get it, it’s not slander to talk about the OTD kids in the MO community but its slander to say that about BTs?

@AAQ, Still waiting for your retraction, I guess facts don’t matter by you

@Avi K, There were certain gedolim and Rebbes who kept fresh clothing at the ready to greet Moshsiach, they were living in EY even if they were in Poland, Litak, Belarus or Hungary.
We must remember we can be Yerusalem, Chevron or anyplace else but until that great day comes WE ARE GOLUS!

Once Sir Herbert Samuel met with Rav Y C Sonnenfeld in the 1920s, The Rav’s home, a poor hovel of a dwelling, was ten steps underground with only one small window and no proper furniture. Concerned about the very destitute state of his home, askanim wanted to move the meeting place to a neighbor’s house. Reb Yosef Chaim adamantly refused: “This officer can see exactly how I live.” The only thing he did allow was for the askanim to place a simple tablecloth on his one table.

Arriving with his entourage, the High Commissioner was led, step by step, down into Reb Yosef Chaim’s home. The High Commissioner was aghast that a leading Rabbinical authority was living this way!
Sir Herbert asked Reb Yosef Chaim how he could abide in such conditions. In answer, Rav Yosef Chaim showed him the ‘view’ from his one little window that overlooked the devastation of Har Habayis. “You see that?” the Rav asked. “That was once our Temple, G-d’s house. It is in total ruins. If G-d still has no Home and no Temple, then I don’t need a nice home, either.”

BOTTOM LINE, WE ARE IN GULUS EVERYWHERE!

I was buzy with that stuff for 14 to 16 then I gave up trying to figure stuff out

@nussan
I would take my change with a mugger and my wallet over a missle and my body.
FYI we are still in golus even in Gush Ezion and Natanya

@AAQ, actualy I belong to three shuls, [Neighborhood, shabbos and weekdays] and BH none of the shuls lost members and we have reopened just after peasch of 2020.
In fact the total Covid deaths in the frum community of NY metro area in 2020 were equal to the cancer deaths.

Average Israeli Wage is $11,990 NIS that converts to $3698 USD, not a living wage for your average large family. Don’t compare this to the Miraglim for one I am not complainingjust stating a fact, two no one is forced to live there. Yes Israel is renown for Chesed and the USA is known for Tzedoka

its near impossible to make it on Israeli wages, not to mention everything in Israel including getting a job a raise etc. is done with protectisia and everything in Israel is politics, you hardly ever see a Dati leumi working alongside of a Charedi, whereas its the norm in the USA
