Yserbius 123 – according to Wikipedia and other internet sources, Rebbetzin Deena Weinberg died in Jerusalem on March 12, 2023.
“Many Ukrainians fought for the Allies, and some collaborated with the Germans. There is no hiddush here. And that is true almost everywhere in Europe.”
But there were also Ukrainians who, during WWII, hid Jews from the Nazis, risking their own lives and the lives of their children. Among them were different people – from Orthodox priests to ordinary peasants. The names of some of them mentioned in Garden of the Righteous at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. And the names of those who were not mentioned in the Garden of the Righteous remained in the memory of saved by them and in the memory of their children.

Lower tuition – so, if our parents leave in the another state we should not send them shaloch manos via USPS /UPS/FedEX?
Ben Levi, you missed one “small” thing – Putin poisoned Navalny…..
1 – Not sure how many people make 200,000/year. Subtract from 200,000 tax and tuition for 8 children and you will see how much money they will have on handes to pay for mortgage/rent, utilities, food, clothes, etc. Do not think they will have money for vocation or for girls seminary in EY. The most people I know make way less then 200,000/year
I do not know who open and manage the fund, but I saw a short video recorded by Dr. Zelenko from the hospital ward. He said the following. On July 23rd he was scheduled for biopsy. He also has another issue. On coming Tuesday he was scheduled for open heart surgery. He hopes for the best, but since he will not be able to work for some time after the surgery, he asked for a help for his wife and children
CTLAWYER – do you realize that stores do not give us bags for free? The cost of the bag (paper or plastic) included in the cost of anything we buy in the store. When stores will no longer give plastic bags, the cost of the food or any other product will not get down; prices will be the same as before. So, the cost of anything we will buy will include the cost of the bag (but no bag will be given) + if we want to have a bag, we will pay for it. It means we will pay for the same bag twice.
2 cense your store paying you back are belong to you, because it included in the price of everything you bought. Store owner does not make you a favor, store owner just trying to be honestA few questions.
If man all his life learning in a kolel and his wife supports the family. When their children will come to the parsha, how many families this wife/mother will able to support? Does anyone believe that one woman can support a few families at the same time – her own family plus her children’s families?“in cases where some illegal workers have been cheated by unscrupulous employers”

1. Is it legal to hire ILLEGAL immigrant?
2. If someone will come to your door and say that from now on they will live in your house, because your house is way better, that house they have. They will not ask your permission to enter, they just will get in and stay as long as they want. They will use your bed and bathroom, the food from your fridge and so on. They will take your job. Will you agree? How entering and occupy your house without your permission is different from entering foreign country without permission?to 1
My point was that tips are legal and it is additional income for waiters who getting a small salary. If we tip a waiter in restaurant, we need to tip waiter in a camp as wellTo ty
1. When waiters file income tax return, they must to report tips (see IRS regulation). It telling me, that tips are legal in USA
2. Waters have pretty low hourly rate because tips working as a commissions for them.
What make you think that tipping barber/taxi driver and so on is OK? They also paid by place they work“Perhaps we need to have advisors associated with the Kollelim that can advise individual Kollel members on how to start preparting for earning a parnassa during their down times in Kollel so that they are prepared and trained to find a job as soon as they leave Kollel. Why haven’t these advisors been established already, and what have Kollel yungeleit been doing with their bein hazemanim and bain hasedarim times?”
**
Just wondering, why parents do not preparing their sons for earning parnassa?
The father, who himself had been learning for years in kollel and got through hard times while looking for first decent job, should be the first advisor. The father should share his post kollel experience with his sonsYou live in a fantasy world, 100% of funds cannot go to the Tzadeak unless its a very small charity with only 1 or 2 people involved, no offices , no phones etc

With Verizon for $68.86 a month (tax included) you can make unlimited phone calls to every state in USA + Canada + High Speed Internet. It will cover all day long calls and tons of e-mails. Today big corporations send employees to home offices and cut off corporate expenses on office. I can’t see why someone can’t collect tzedakah from home.
So, from now on chareidim will stop buying fedoras, because Pesach around the corner.
Will prices on fedoras get down? Will prices on flat caps get up?
“does anyone else think that he was pressured into writing that apology?
he seems to be saying the exact opposite of his speech”
I also got this impression
to yeru613
“. so they assume that because the area code on their house phone 732 they should get into school with kids who’s mother and father are moiser nefesh in 2016 to bring their kids up in the most sheltered way they could imagine (obviously there is no fool proof way but…)”
So, from your post I can see two ways to resolve the problem.
1. Every family outside of Lakewood, which is not up to Lakewood lifestyle standard, should stop giving donation to yeshivos and kollelem in Lakewood. Instead they should give these money for a new school in Lakewood, which will accept every Jewish child, who does not fit to existed schools. This way all Jewish kids will have Jewish education, every Jew will support his own lifestyle and different “circles” of Jews will not mingle.
2. Find a new place for BMG with stipulation, that Jews, who not belong to yeshiva have no rights to settle next to yeshiva. Apartment buildings should be belong to BMG and available for avrechim/rabbeim only. Do not allow to build luxury houses around yeshiva, avrechim can’t afford them. People, who can afford (most of them) – have not BMG lifestyle. Whoever is good enough to provide service for BMG, can travel to work from any other town/city.
It is not an option to send Jewish child to public school.
To yeru613
I see your point. So, maybe Lakewood suppose to be the town for avrechim only? Otherwise kids from different walks may interact with each other on a street/in the store. Lets make everyone who not learn full time leave Lakewood and take their kids along. People, who learn full time do not have (not suppose to have?) Internet. Make Lakewood free from Internet users. All stores and services in Lakewood can be successfully run by not Jews. Their kids go to public school. I’m not sarcastic. Just asking.

Taxes aren’t unexpected or uncommon, and would basically be the same anywhere in the States, for all people.

Federal tax is the same. But state and city taxes are different. And some states do not have state tax.

Book “Kosher Money” by Rabbi Yoel Schwartz (A Collection of Insights and Laws Regarding Personal Property Obligations) gives answer on your question. Book also proves that Mashiach Agent is right

“The money saved I put in a mutual Fund and 5 years later I had enough to make a down payment on a house.”

If you did not buy a car, because you do not have money for this purchase, you did not save anything. Because you can’t save something you don’t have.
Information about this community can be found on Google and Facebook – look for JCOR (Jewish Community of Rhawnhurst).
People spending years and years in yeshivah + kollel. I will assume they know halacha
This was your question:
“Should I be taking a girl out to dinner or for drinks in a hotel lounge on a first date?”

This was your answer:
“everyone else who says dinner or some place to eat – i dont think girls would feel more comfortable eating in front of a guy she just met ten minutes ago.”

Why did you ask?
“My boss is a republican, he even gave $250,000 to former Prez George W. Bush’s reelection campaign.”

1. Everyone has a right to spend his money how he pleased.
2. No one obligated to provide kosher food to his employee. I don’t think kosher meals were the part of agreement, when company hired you. Bring your own food if you have a lunch together with co-workers and don’t make a big deal from it.
Just read on this site: “Toldos Avraham Yitzchak Rebbe Undergoes Surgery To Have Pacemaker Implanted”
I will think, that doctors were Jews, who went to college/medical school.
With all my respect to HaRav Moshe Hillel Hirsch, if he does not want his grandchildren will delivered by not Jewish doctors/ midwives, some Jews have to go to college.
If Bais Yaakov type girl spells “collAge” instead of “collEge”, she can’t be a teacher or secretary.
*
Bais Yaakov type of girl usually would like to be married to the boy, who will learn for years. It means, she need to think about her future job way before she graduated from school. She need to figure out what kind of skills she has or she need to develop some skills, which will help her later to support her family. It will be nice, if Bais Yaakov schools will not only make girls mind to marry boys, who learn, but also will help girls to develop skills.
Can you imagine 14 y.o girl, who going to school, working and, on a top of this, cooking, cleaning, making laundry…..
I can’t see why she would like to be married at age 14…
I can’t see why her parents would like her to be married at age 14….
I don’t ask what kind of job she can do at age 14 and what she can make for a couple hours after school… it is very obvious

“Some witnesses say Wilson shot Brown while he was running away.”
**
I don’t know how he was killed, but I will assume, by the way how bullet get into the body, an expert /pathologist can determine, if person was shot when he run away or toward policeman.
You can’t shot someone in his chest or forehead, if he running away.

Vilna Gaon, Chofetz Chaim, Rav Moshe Feinstein, last Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rav Kotler, Rav Ruderman, Rav Pam, Rav Kamenetzky (just name the few) did not live in EY. Are you saying they knew less than you about this mitzvah?
I have seen a very old cookbook and it uses eggshells as a measurement
As in : “2 eggshells of oil”
Interesting
***
Today, some measurements mentioned in Torah, compared to the size of the egg – to give us a clue of the size
“And how did they ever bake cakes in Europe? Did they have baking soda or powder”
***
Yes, in Europe people had and still have baking soda, powder, yeast,
To measure flour, sugar or water they use a glass (half glass). To measure oil – table spoon. To measure salt – tea spoon. To measure butter – grams (the measurement of weight).
Every recipe in a cook book has measurements of the country, where book published.
“After the bochur is thrown out of a yeshiva and it is no longer a cheshbon of him against the yeshiva does the hanhala keep up with him, help him find him a new yeshiva, inquire about his chavrusas etc.? usually not.”
***
No, they don’t help to find a new yeshiva. But they keep sending letters to grandparents and asking to support their yeshiva.

“Send your kid to a school where nobody has money. Then all will be treated equally.”
***
It is a father’s obligation to teach his son Torah. Maybe it will make more sense, if only rich people will send their sons to school. Today more and more families choosing to use home schooling system for their kids (not only observant families and not only Jewish families). It is cheaper, and less stressful ( for parents and for children). I don’t believe, that child, who don’t like (I don’t say “hate”) his rebbi, will be a good student any way. The rebbi will have a smaller class, less stress and more patience – everyone in a class will be rich.
“BTW, Russians are also often language challenged for the same reason. Anywhere they go, everyone speaks Russian”
***
In 19-th century in Russia every noble/respected family tought their children French. At this time French was the language of international comminication. So, they spoke 2 languages.
***
Most of people from former Soviet Union know/can understand at least 3 languages:
1 – language of the repablic, they were born/rised (Ukrainian/Georgian/Tukmenian and so on)
2 – Russian, because of the government’ requirement to speak/learn Russian
3- English or French or German everyone had to learn as a subject in a school
***
Also, why nobody surprised, that Mordechay spoke /understood all languages?

Daniel, do you have any proof or this is only your assumption? How do you know what amount of money people give to Tzedaka? Are you standing behind their shoulder, when they cut a check? What make you think you have the rights to tell anybody what to buy? After people gave 10% of income to Tzedaka, they can spend their money in any way they wish, even if you don’t approve it.
Daniel, if someone, who walks on a street with Gucci pocketbook, will hold in their hands a receipt stating they gave a Tzedaka for the same amount of money as pocketbook cost, will you sleep better?
“If people wanted chicken for shabbos they could enroll in yeshiva. Obviously their need is not that great. If anything, your donation is perverse, enabling them to live a lifestyle more separated from Torah. So the question is how does a charity like chicken for shabbos even exist in our Torah world?’
***
In what yeshiva did you learn all this?
“Please somebody? anybody? give me one rishon who ascribes that everybody should be learning not working and taking tzedaka to support his family. Just 1 rishon.”

If EVERYBODY will be learning not working – WHO will give tzedaka?
“entitlement funding from a non-Jewish government”

Just asking – how much cost Borsalino or any other nice designer black hat?
There are maybe four or five acceptable jobs for Jewish women.
