    @charliehall, there are a lot of idiotic, irrational and illegal rules that were promulgated in the name of public safety and health and this will go down in the history books as one of them.
    Just as I would not go up to some random person smoking cigarettes or pot and tell him not to smoke it, I would not have the temerity to tell someone how to daven.
    This shabbos I was out of the Tri State area and the shul I davened in had a full mask policy, they also had a no cell phone use policy during weekday davening [it was a yeshivish place so shabbos was obvious].
    My regular shul has no official policy in regard to covid so some wear and some don’t and we all get along with each other.
    I fully complied with both rules [covid and cell use] and didn’t have the chutzpa to tell others what to do and that is what I expect anyone davening in our shul to do the same.

    @Kollelman:
    Rabbi Avigdor Miller was born Victor Miller in Baltimore, Maryland. He was a kohen. Although he attended public school, only Yiddish was spoken at home. After school, he went to learn in an afternoon Talmud Torah.
    At age 14, Rabbi Miller went to New York City to attend Yeshivas Rabbenu Yitzchok Elchonon, at the time the only American high school offering high-level Jewish learning.

    @ujm, the public schools from the 1880s-1960s whole focus was the melting pot to blending in as Americans not the “gorgeous mosaic” or multiculturalism, not just for the Jews but all groups.


    @always
    ask questions, the topic of this thread is the Gedolim who attended public schools and went on to torah greatness not to push for your agenda of education.

    @yseribus
    Shlomo (Wilhelm) Wolbe was born in Berlin to Eugen and Rosa Wolbe. He was raised in a secular Jewish home and received his education at the University of Berlin (1930–1933). During his university studies he became a baal teshuva through the efforts of the Orthodox Students Union V.A.D. (Vereinigung jüdischer Akademiker in Deutschland). After university he attended the Hildesheimer Rabbinical Seminary. He continued to study at Rabbi Boczko’s yeshiva in Montreux, Switzerland. He then attended the Mir yeshiva in Poland, where he became a student of the mashgiach ruchani, Rabbi Yeruchom Levovitz, and, to a lesser extent of Rabbi Yechezkel Levenstein.

    @the little I know:
    Rav Finkel grew up as a “typical American Jewish boy” who enjoyed playing basketball and baseball. He was known as Nathan in school and Natie to his friends. He was one of the first students of the Central Park Hebrew Day School (later renamed Arie Crown Day School) and received after-school tutoring in Torah studies from Rabbi Yehoshua Levinson.

    @always ask, the Jewish people always had a “moreh derech” since time kabolas hatorah, call it dass torah or other names it not relevant as to what it is called it is our mesorah, I know this does not match your or the OP agenda but that is the fact.
    In Oz Yosher we say “vaymeanu behashem ubMoshe avod, first mishna in avos is moshe kebul torah msinai and it lists out the line of succession, the more recent histroy we had the GRA, Talmiday Bal Shem ZTL etc. in the recent past you had the Chofetz Chaim, Reb Chaim Brisker, Sanzer Rebbe ZTL
    recently we had Reb Moshe, Rav Elyashiv, Satmar Rebbe ZTL, so your Rabbi and your encyclopedia can take the slow boat to China and no one will notice any difference

    “7 [indications] of the golem and 7 of the wise:

    1) The wise person does not speak prior to someone greater in wisdom or in years
    The opposite is a golem.

    @aoish3x3: In Internet slang, a troll is a person who starts flame wars or intentionally upsets people on the Internet. Typically they do this by posting inflammatory and digressive,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog), with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses[2] and normalizing tangential discussion.[3] 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.

    I just leased a hybrid car, the reason I got it was because the lease was cheapest if the gas guzzler would have been cheaper I would have gotten that. The fact that I spend less on gas is a plus, the environment had zero effect on my decision.

    @huju, Romney was Governor of MA. and worked with a number of Jews in venture capital so he may know the term schnorrer. This the dictonary definition of Schnorrrer:

    Actually spelled Schnorrer or shnorrer and is a Yiddish term meaning “beggar” or “sponger”.1 The word Schnorrer also occurs in German to describe a person who frequently asks for little things, like cigarettes or little sums of money, without offering a return, and has thus come to mean freeloader. The English usage of the word denotes a sly chiseler who will get money out of another any way he can, often through an air of entitlement.
    Mike is such a schnorer , always bumming a cigarette . I have yet to get one in return

    FYI Romney is right!

    I went to a wedding last week and one of the songs they played was Piamentia’s Asher Bohrah, I asked the band leader if he knew the lyrics of the song that was the orginal song, he didn’t so I told him it called the the Land of Down Under and the words celebrate some of the most debased behaviors, he told me name me any Jewish singer who didnt borrow from non Jewish sources, I told him, Carlebach, Regesh, Devekus and Shenker

    @Health Unlike Donald J Trump I am a Republican and have always been a GOPer,

    Trump’s political party affiliation has changed numerous times. He registered as a Republican in Manhattan in 1987, switched to the Reform Party in 1999, the Democratic Party in 2001, and back to the Republican Party in 2009.

    In 1987, Trump placed full-page advertisements in three major newspapers, proclaiming “America should stop paying to defend countries that can afford to defend themselves. The advertisements also advocated for “reducing the budget deficit, working for peace in Central America, and speeding up nuclear disarmament negotiations with the Soviet Union”. DCCC chair Rep. Beryl Anthony Jr. told The New York Times that “the message Trump has been preaching is a Democratic message.

    The fact is that the senate is 50/50 the house almost so, even if there is total Democrat control we had that before and we survived, Hashem has his chesbonos and anyone who says he know what it is is a total and aboslute kofer.
