commonsaychelParticipant
@akuperma, there will be a shift in power in Rockland, Orange and possibly Nassau in NY and Ocean County NJ, because the census counts everyone from newborn to very old the frum community with its larger families KIH will see a huge power shift.
commonsaychelParticipant@the kneidel, and who appoints the commision? the state legislature
commonsaychelParticipant@the kneidle, OH PA VW MI Fl NC and TX. all have GOP controled state houses so they will gerrymand the distict to favor the GOP, CA NY OR and CO all are Dem control so they will gerrymand Dem
commonsaychelParticipantNY CA IL will most likey eliminate a GOP seat, my guess in ny the 22 or 27 will be on the chopping block, Co and Or will add a Dem seat, so a total change of 5.
Mi. OH. PA. and WV will eleminate a Dem seat, Fl. MT NC and Tx will add GOP seats so a total change of 9. the control of the house can flip in 2022commonsaychelParticipant9

514commonsaychelParticipantAfter reading the comments section writting in a major English languge Israeli newspaper about this story my feelings got stronger, the comments were full of people saying gotcha now come to J, yes we have to be more vigilant who we being into our homes. For every Rabbi Dovid Gottlieb there is a Michael Elk, I feel used like someone you invited into your house and they stoled your wife jewlery or a molester who came to your house for a meal and attacked your child,
commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, “here you go again attacking daas Torah” interesting, this is coming from someone who said there is nothing called daas torah and openly mocks asking a Rav.
Unlike you I respect everyone having a diversity of opinions, for example I am makpid on Cholov Yisroel do I still hold Rav Moshe Ztl was a posek hador? absoluty, I just didnt take on his heter on Chol Akum, can one who relies on Reb Moshe’s heter be a frum erlicher yid without a shadow of a doubt.commonsaychelParticipant@mindful, I applogize for the tone but not the substance of what I wrote before.
“This is a tragedy of our scosiety. He is worried for a message being not kosher, more than pushing away a Jew!All these breaches of holocho can be fixed now. These are minor issues compared to the fact that the cast majority of Jews in the world are completely separated from Judaism!
And this attitude that protecting yourself is more important than reaching out to a fellow Jew is the cause of it.”
The Torah says in seder devarim, yihay mechanecha kosdosh,we need to keep out camps holy, nowhere in the torah does it say we need to reach out to non frum.
these are very serious breaches possibly causing mamzayim, pusel sefray torah etc. frankly what happened here makes my skin crawlcommonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, so you will listen to R Meir Twerski this once because it fits you agenda.
PS we have at least 2 minyan [ maskless] who Costa Rica, Let me know if you like lamb chops or veal chops better when you decide to join us
PSS the wildlife viewing in Costa Rica is amazingcommonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, here is your proof that you can know how to learn and be a goy gumer even a missonary.
PS he was very vigilant about using a mask and keeping social distance beause R Meir Twersky said socommonsaychelParticipant@954, intersting half of the no votes came from Jews in South Florida
commonsaychelParticipant@mindful, “The missionary had no success in converting anyone. Frum people are not susceptible to this” are you naive or just plain stupid? you had a goy gumer who in fact is a galach masquerading as a sofer stam and a kohen and being podeh haben, his wife a 100% non jew is buried in a Jewish cemetary, there are very serious breaches of halacach becuase this.
Could you please tone down the way you address people you disagree with? Thanks in advance-29
commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, “as the guy presumably listens to the Rav” did he? maybe he was from your school of thought ask a rav and do whatever you feel is best regardless of what he paskens.
Anyway we are deviating from the topic on hand, the summer travel of 2021commonsaychelParticipant@coffee addict, a lot of bucherim didnt get entry permits in time so they are stuck here
commonsaychelParticipant@Jackk, wow and your so silent about your buddy Cuomo
commonsaychelParticipantthe place to buy it is a website called iamaveryboredbucherwithtomuchtimeonmyhands.com
commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, that story sounds par for the course at the @AAQ household, you do what you feel is best without asking a Rav and if you ask a Rav and if you dont like the psak you do what you want anyway.

commonsaychelParticipant@gadol as someone who works in the insurance industry most travel insurance policies anti worth the paper its printed on, they exclude the heck out of the policies.
PS if your going to cyprus they have some really good deals on cruises to Israel, if you go to Malta let me know that is was like.commonsaychelParticipantin my minyan we daven to Hashem we dont daven to AZ such a cross, a Budda or a piece of cloth covering body. I just dropped of my son at JFK and the flight was packed with frum people I then davened in the Five Towns and there was a full indoor minyan of about 50 people of that maybe 5 wore masks, BH I see even in the epicenter of maskers people are getting over the phobia.
PS come down to Costa Rica they said its one of the niecest places in the world, the mashka after davening is on me and i will grill you some lamb chops to that there is no hard feelings,commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, I was planning to travel Afghanistan and Pakistan but I could not find space on the flights so my second choice was Sudan and Yemen, but I ended up buying tickets to Costa Rica check on godaven if you want to join me, last summer was amazing I davened with a minyan in the Grand Canyon, Bryce, Lake Powell [60 people] and Zion National Park [ im a tziony].
PS if you join me my minyan does not require masks but I provide leckach and pronfent after daveningcommonsaychelParticipant@Avi K, the chazal also say its the cheyuv of the father to teach his son torah so when you are sending him to yeshiva you and not in compliance with chazal, anyway we are getting into a whole other subjet.
BTW do you speak a fluent Ladino? do you speak it to your children?commonsaychelParticipantNew example of Covid hypocacy:
Blocking off middle seats on airplanes can significantly reduce the risk of COVID-19 exposure, according to a new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At this point, however, nearly all major domestic airlines have stopped blocking middle seats
We’ve all known for a while now that wearing masks and social distancing are two of the best ways to prevent COVID from spreading. Turns out the same is true on airlines. “Distancing can have a significant protective effect,” said James Bennett, a research engineer at the CDC who worked on the study.
Bennett explained just how much a difference it makes when airlines block middle seats varies.
“At the low end, we were looking at a 23% reduction in exposure, just from the fact of not being seated right next to another passenger if they happen to be infectious,” he said. At the high end, it’s a 57% reduction in exposure.
Airlines response:
“Multiple scientific studies confirm that the layers of protection significantly reduce risk, and research continues to demonstrate that the risk of transmission onboard aircraft is very low,” a spokesperson for Airlines for America told Insider, indicating no changes would be recommended to airlines.
In other words we are very carefull till it effects our bottom line so we won’t block the middle seatscommonsaychelParticipantWell your next door still has tent minyanim and indoor minyan and it has nothing to do with covid, its because there are 7 minyanim going on at the same time, the vast majority dont wear masks and the place is bh packed, whatever floats your boat/ minyan
commonsaychelParticipant@CtLawyer, you can always pass it on to one of your law school classmates and get a referal fee, this looks like a slam dunk case of ADA non compliance
commonsaychelParticipant“Some of the Chassidishe yeshivas intentionally keep their students functionally illiterate in order to deter them from going off the derech”
I hope what you are saying is incorrect, but if true, keeping students functionally illiterate is no guarantee they won’t go OTD… More likely , it will guarantee they will be unable to earn a parnassah or find a kallah who has any aspirations for a normal life”
That is total bunk of both parts, some of the most successful people in the frum olam today have attended Chasidisher Yeshivas and the highest level of assimilation is coming from the MO community.
Back in history the area with the highest level of assimilation was the highly educated Germans and the lowest level was from the uneducated people of the Middle East and North Africa.commonsaychelParticipantyou never answered my question about Antwerp
commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, my question was both a general and a specific, if there is a confict betweeen two secular laws ie rights under ADA vs Covid compliance does the concept of maris aryin come into play.
The answer is a clear NO, Maris ayin only comes into play in regards to halacha not secular law.I once told you the story about a vistor who walk down the street in Antwerp on shabbos wearing a tallis not knowing there was a community moray to not wear a tallis in public, a car drove up to him and he rolled down the window and yelled Yungerman Chillul Hashem, now who was making the chillul hashem, the guy wearing the tallis or the guy driving a car on shabbos?
commonsaychelParticipant@avi k, yes Millons and growing, even in israel, I had no issue using yiddish in Jerusalem, Bnai Brak, Elad, Beitar or Ashdod, in fact most meshulochim from Israel only communicate yiddish when they are in chutz. I have heard yiddish being used in London, Antwep, Melbourne and Sao Paulo.
commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, nothing personal but I can’t figure out what you are trying to say in your rambling response, you asked if a Rav will pasken that there is no issue with maris ain if one utilizes right given that one is gicen under secular law and I was told there is no issue, unlike you I dont tailor a psak to fit my agenda if I was told there was I would have accepted it.
What has came to light since then about this particular episode is that the flight crew was told at the gate and upon boarding the aircraft that the son suffers from ASD and attends a special ed school and wont be wearing a mask, the flight crew ignored them, violations of ADA results in a $75,000 fine for the first violation and $150,000 each additional violation, it does not look good for Spirit in spite of me being a shareholder, if I was a Spirit manager I would be contacting @CTLawyer and try to hustle a settlement
commonsaychelParticipant@Anonymous Jew, “the large majority of the descendants of those 12 million yiddish speakers who left the Pale no longer speak Yiddish ”
for that matter sadly most are not Jewish the vast majority intermarried and are not longer Jews.
Yiddish is alive and well and fourth most spoken language in Brooklyn and has about 3 million speakers worldwide.
Almost all Yiddish speakers are bilingual quite a number a triligual, most yiddish speakers in Montreal, Buenos Aires and Antwerp speak four languages some even fivecommonsaychelParticipant@avi k, at its peak the total of Ladino speaker numbered about 1 millon speakers, today there are less then 60 K speakers compeared to 12 million Yiddish speakers that crossed from the Pale in Russia to the East End of London to America to Israel until 1948, it was and is the lingua franca for the vast majority of frum Jewery, it is the fourth most spoken lanaguge in Brooklyn and have over 3 million speakers. It maybe dead as a secular culture but it is still spoken by secular Jews daily in Antwerp.
I am a native yiddish speaker and rose to upper managment in corporate America, my children and grandchildren are fluent in both Yiddish and EnglishcommonsaychelParticipantI was at a Aeroflot check in check a few years back and in those day Aeroflot allowed 2 checked luggages per passenger of 50 pound apiece.
A litivisher yungerman was trying to check two suitcases one weigh in at 60 pounds the other at 35, the desk agent told him to take out some thing from one bag and put it in the other, the yungerman said lemayser geret why cant this one [pointing to suitcase] be koneh the zechus of that one, the russian airline employee looked at him with puzzled look and said vot u saidApril 15, 2021 11:03 am at 11:03 am in reply to: Making a Barocho on a Blossoming Tree in Nissan #1965052commonsaychelParticipant@huju, then he asks a Open Orthodox rabbi and he say responds, its a svek svaka one side its named after a animal, one the other hand Tata Motors did some enviormental damage and driving a car causes global warming therefore make a brocha without using the shem

commonsaychelParticipant@ Sam Klein, “The person needs to get a life and a job so he stops wasting his time doing nothing but trolling”, if you noticed this type of activity peaks during bain hazmanim mostly by bored bucherim who cant get a date

commonsaychelParticipantwhy dignify this with a response
commonsaychelParticipantNo clue
commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, I too reguarly discuss game plans with Lawyers and CPAs but do I disscus what case law the lawyer should cite? not at $300-500 an hour, I keep the conversations brief and to the topic.
I did ask two Rabbonim about the isssue of maris ayin and I was told unequivocally that if two secular laws confict [ie ADA and CDC guidlines] the halacha of maris ayin does not apply, I didnt get into a whole give and take with them because I imagined they were charging me $500 an hour.“So, be considerate to other people on a plane, that’s all I am saying.” 100% agree be considerate and respectful to everyone not just on a plane, but in the parking lot, supermarket, shul, restaurant etc. including those who chose not to enforce the mask rules in shuls stores etc.
commonsaychelParticipantwhat came first the bored bucher or trool?
commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ, “I’ll be interested to learn about ranges of halakha here.” when I ask a halacha lmayisha issue to a Rav I dont get into a give and take with him nor do I ask my lawyer for case law back up when I retain him for a legal opinion or a CPA for the IRS rulings I have something called trust for a expert.
Our history is littered with people who viewed torah as something to be use to fit the agenda they were pushing, from the Erev Rav and Korech to Shabbati Tzvi to Haskala to Kapos in WW II.ADA is a right afforded to all people in the US regardless of who they are, same as any other law, there were a few people who were horrified that frum people sued various villages for discrimination and they had no business exercising their rights.
I would pay for a tee shirt that reads: NO I AM NOT WEARING A MASK AND ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS WHY NOTcommonsaychelParticipantStarbuck Grande ice coffee with almond milk and one sweet and low
commonsaychelParticipant@AAQ and lets say the answer does not fit into your agenda? then disregard it? Anyway its a moot point because we are talking about exercising one rights afforded under US law.
