@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
are the bookies taking bets on the winner?
PS I dont know any female who gives a hoot about rebbisher politicsWhy do you keep changing your username?
@AAQ, “I did not say a word about myself. I did not wear a mask until last February.”
Thats the main difference betwwen you and I, I could not care less if you bunkered down in a desert island in middle of the South Pacific with MRE’s for 2 years or if all the YI’s decided to close, that is their issue not mine, my three shuls made a decision to reopen in May and June of last year how dear you disparge them.
PS my mask went on in March and came off in May of 2000BH, Covid is over, this election is over and now this is what people are worried about.
@stephencurry, welcome and congats at posting ur first post here
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@AAQ, “I also think that current period allows for a range of opinions and it is not worth arguing about it.” How about from the get go of Covid there allows for a range of opinions and it is not worth arguing about it?
” most my information usually comes from research articles or raw data that I analyze. And it usually takes several sources to recognize a trend”
I get it, so it ok for you to come to your own conculsion yet a Rav who does the same and comes up a tottaly different idea is not allowed, got it.PS I am waiting for 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!OTD= No shabbos or Kashrus not a change of haskafah
@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?
BT’s by far have the most OTD kids, dont know why
@AAQ, Still waiting for your retraction, I guess facts don’t matter by you
@AAQ, still waiting for retraction and for you to apologize, oh wait I forgot, facts dont matter for you if it does not fit your agenda
@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!

PS I am still waiting for you retaction
1. Troll Yeshiva
2. Catfishing Yeshiva
3. Laydikgaing Yshiva
4. Yeshiva of the Sock Puppets
5 fill in the blankI was buzy with that stuff for 14 to 16 then I gave up trying to figure stuff out
@AAQ, if you didnt cite Fauci you used one of parrots, the message was the same. If your going to use Moshe Rabbanu and Mattan Torah as an example of outdoor davening then I can use Chet Haigel as your worship of covid regs.
PS I amd still waiting for you to apologize to three morah dasaras for defaming them.@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 “Gadol +1. hashem even asked an elderly man to climba (small) mountain for a long Torah lecture. This week, Moshe was trying to give a dvar Torah in between some stones!”
You want to use the dor hamidar as an example, how about this? chet haaygil, execpt the golden calf the MO crowd worshiped was Dr. Fauci and his minions both frum and not frum [no pun intended].@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.@rational, Interesting you were yelling and screaming that shuls were open and what a chutzpa, maybe the people who kept the shuls open had a longer term vision then you did.
Why should the outdoor minyanim close? its work out fine till now and its easier for a lot of people.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
When people do things over a extended period of time people get use it, like biking during the transit stike, working remote etc. The MO rabbis were so gung ho about closing everything over a very long period of time they should have thought about the long term picture, the yeshivish and chasidish shuls have had almost 100% full minyanim since last shevous
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
@AAQ “As long as you doing out of the right reasons – prudence re:Covid (*), I don’t see a problem at all”. Who are we to judge what is a good reason or a bad reason, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. So therefore the drop in memeber is a self created problem by the MO shuls its a non issue at the shuls the never closed or closed briefly,

In a article in this weeks Ami Rabbi Moshe Taub of Young Israel of Holliswood bemoaned the fact that 30-40% of the shul members have not returned to the shul choosing instead to stay the breakway minyanim and davening byichidus.
I guess they didnt realize that by doing a long term closure people would voted with the feet.My grandparents all came here to excape anti semitism in Poland, Fathers parents came post WWII after surviving the holocaust, Mothers Mothers parents came in the 1920s after surviving a progrom, Mother Fathers family came in the 1930s after Poland banned shechita

@CTLawyer, I am 100 % galitzanyah my internal body clock causes me to have great joy when I see Petcha in the deli or the coin counter in the bank
Voting should be viewed as a sacred trust, and should be made harder not easier
@N0mesorah “Those communities that put a bigger emphasis on keeping the same ritualistic customs throughout the generations, will appear to be in steeper decline than those communities that value it less.”
Actualy the opposite is true, the communities who emphisize minhagim are the strongest, for example upsherin, chasidisher livish etc. are alive and well, whereas YI and others with no mesorah are slowly fading away@yserbius Minhag Chasam Sofer is Oberland, Minhag haGra is Lita
@ Reb E exactly my point, you are relegated to the ladies section and say the payit under your breath, not a sign of a very thriving khilla.
@ Laymasheh 3/4 of Vien and 3/4 of Nitra davens nusach sefard and the rav wears a stramil in both@Reb E, the only difference in the current Debrictener mihagim and mainsteam chasidus is the yotzros [ they dont bruk, they wear chasidisher livish etc.] the typical chasam sofer with his crack hit short jacket and gartel and small beard is history and I for one think its a shame
@UJM, “Whereas the Oberlanders have more or less become Chasidish.”
Actual they stopped existing under the old crowd, please name one Oberlandisher Khilla that has not gone chasidish.@AAQ, IDK, the whole gist of this thread is the yikkish way of life are slowing disappearing.
Reb E, interesting most of the Oberlander khillos changed since WWII, Vien now davens sefard and rebbeh feers tish unheard of in the days of Rav Y Steif, Sopron had a yikkisher rav and tzelem as well.
Mattesdorf [chasan sofer] was one of the shivah khillos and now is a chasidus complete with a Rebbah, same is true Erloh and Droger@UJM. a socialy distant mask wearing kiddush with a salad is at a MO shul
Reb E, Most oberlandisher khillos have vanished in the past years
Sen. Ted Cruz also visited Israel Sunday and posted images of a bombed-out home following Israel’s 11-day war with Hamas.
‘Heartbreaking,’ Cruz wrote, in a comment he attached to a picture of the bombed out vestiges of a home where he said the caregiver to an elderly woman was killed by a Hamas rocket attack.
‘Countless times, I’ve seen a Mezuzah hanging on a door frame. This is the first time I’ve seen one on a home bombed by terrorists. A Hamas rocket killed the caretaker of the elderly lady who lived here in Ashkelon, in southern Israel. This is all that remains,’ Cruz wrote.
‘Here’s her walker,’ Cruz wrote in a subsequent post, which showed a walker and a fan atop a pile of rubble.
Give me friends like Cruz any day of the week.
@ Reb, E I want the truth, If Jared Kushner would have said that last year what would have your reaction be?
