I set up the process for legal clearance of music to be put ion the CDs that were sold for music on hold use
How did you do that?
And what your saying is that eventually there won’t be any frum ppl left?
Doesn’t sound theoretical.
I agree with TLIK.
“It is more important that you donate your big bucks to yeshivos than to support families that need to marry off their children.” Does that go over well?
No, it doesn’t. Neither does the other way.
Every individual needs to figure out halachically where his money should go, but I don’t think anyone collecting tzedaka should be pitting his cause against any others. He should solicit for his cause on its own merits.
Why one two? Perhaps you should insist all dates go for at least three or four dates.
What you really want is that we should insist that all dates get married.
Palestinian?
Why don’t we institute some sort of voucher system where teachers and school employees get vouchers to free or heavily discounted goods and services from Jewish owned vendors and venues.
Who’s paying for those vouchers?
People should not be opening new ones without enough cash flow and savings to be able to pay their teachers. It defies common sense.
Do you know whynew yeshivos open? Usually because there isn’t enough space in the existing ones.
Saying not to open new ones when there aren’t enough slots for everyone isn’t a solution.
ask your employees and vendors to accept lower compensation (aka cut pay for teachers etc)
Why do repeat this silliness? Do you think the yeshivas are intentionally overpaying?
If you cut teachers’ salaries, you end up with unqualified teachers.
We pay essential services. Babysitting is not such an essential service.

Any sensible business would figure risks into their balance sheet like missed payments and plan their expenses accordingly.
In other words, pay employees less?
You’re making the same mistake GH made. They’re already trying to run on the tightest budget they can while still offering quality chinuch.
I know many such parents, and they never end a school year with an outstanding balance. But their tuition payments cannot follow a schedule to accommodate weekly or biweekly payroll.
I would expect that there is administration that understands this.
It’s not only a matter of the administration understanding, it’s also a matter of being able to make payroll, which is what this thread is discussing.
Although, if they know a certain percentage of the parents have seasonal income, it might be possible to obtain short term loans from some understanding wealthy supporters.
The other reality is to scale back the scope of spending by the Mosdos to match their combined tuition/donation income.
Great idea. Use exclusively volunteer administrators, rebbeim, teachers and staff, and classes should be taught in public parks (those mortgages and electricity bills can be extremely burdensome).
The sound is supposed to be Greek. Salonika is a Greek city with a rich Jewish history.
Also, if this is insufficient money to the teacher, why is the power bill first? When I learned this up, the employees come FIRST then the power bill and mortgage!
Maybe when the poskim for the schools learned it up, they decided that it’s more important for a school to have a building, with electricity and heat.
NCB, let’s shut down all yeshivas, we’ll send our kids to public school. That’ll solve the problems.
I don’t think yeshivas have a “business plan” to delay paying salaries. The plan is to raise money through tuition and fundraising to pay. Sometimes, the plan doesn’t work as hoped.
Replace guns with Jews.
Why? Maybe we should replace guns with cocaine.
“well, you’re being oiver on a d’Oraysa too, so I guess that makes us even”.
The moicher is an am haaretz.
OK. Change my original statement to “mainstream non-profit organization” and it still holds true. If they have employees, they pay them. If the money isn’t there, they go bankrupt.
That’s not the first time you’ve advocated for closing yeshivas. What’s up with that?
Vouchers is probably the only viable one but even that has serious flaws (Like the government having the right to dictate what is taught)
The biggest problem is that the government isn’t giving them.
I’m really curious to know what ideas you may have to improve the situation. I’m being serious.
Free tuition for all. That will solve it.
Short enough for you?
Yes, thank you.
That was one specific case, but most moros are married to husbands who work, but many still struggle to pay bills.
Can you please provide a citation that this is true. I might understand a dispensation of אונס, but you imply that there is no issur. Please reference.

Will there be a scale at the entrance?
No, a tape measure. We wouldn’t want to embarrass guests by weighing them.
Will you have to send in your weight in advance?
No, we wouldn’t want any fraud. Measure by the door.
Will invitations be sent based on the obvious…?
That’s a good idea. Why waste money on invitations to people who won’t be allowed in.
What if the Chasson or immediate family is overweight?
Push off the chasunah until they lose weight. Meanwhile, they can work on making shidduchim.
What’s the Halacha if they are currently on a strict diet?
No exceptions allowed, just like the rest of the takanos. Once you start allowing exceptions, the whole thing falls apart.
Specifically, limiting the size of guests
That’s a fabulous idea, because the larger guests usually eat much more, so this will cut down the expense of the caterer.
If it were a mainstream business it wouldn’t be open because it’s not profitable.
For one, they’re protected by mesirah and they know it. For two, people don’t want to publicly say anything bad about them (see child-abuse threads) on account of societal pressure. Good thing the CR exists for such situations.
What a horrible thing to say. You make it sound like they don’t pay because they can get away with it.
When they don’t pay, it’s because they don’t have the money.
I agree with ZD.
It’s a horrible thing when hard working rebbeim, moros, teachers, and other staff don’t get paid on time, but if the school doesn’t have the money, they don’t violate the איסור of לא תלין or the עשה of ביומו תתן שכרו.
Rebbitzen etc (aka troll) even though the rabbis in Lkwd said that the schools wouldn’t open until all girls were place they still do.
They do delay opening, and most girls do get placed. Maybe some are in such a bad situation in ruchniyus that nobody can accept them, nebach.
You are a rather inept troll, I suggest a new career path.
43 posts and counting. Not inept at all.
Yes, R’ Baruch Chait produced the Kol Salonika albums and composed many of the songs.
Ma Ahavti is credited on the album back as an “Israeli Chassidic Song”.

Skinny pants and shirts aren’t tzniusdig.
Tznius isn’t only for women. (It isn’t limited to clothing either.)
As far as dressing as they did in Slabodka, apparently before Slabodka, and in other yeshivos, they didn’t dress that way, so meiheicha teisi we should follow davka Slabodka?
But Joseph feels that it’s OK to call me a liar. If he saw me face to face, he would realize that I am old enough to be his zeidi.
How would he realize? Only Hashem knows how old you are.
Silly me… I thought we were judged by the Ribono Shel Olam
Then why would you think that if Joseph would meet you face to face he would judge you as someone worthy of kavod?
I think if we were talking face to face, you would feel the need to show a lot more kavod.
Over here, we’re judged by our words.
I am not looking to make this thread a debate on kollel life
Lol
You take any possible opportunity to bash kollel. ZD mentioning kollel was completely a side point, and you turned it into one of your classic lengthly kollel bashing essays.
I think we need to get the support of some of the big baalei tzedakah – Rechnitz, Herzka, and others. With their backing, a program like this can be implemented
They give a lot of money to tzedaka, including yeshivos, already.
The generosity of people like them is one of the reasons tuition in the types of schools they support is much lower than the tuition in the types of schools you refer to in Central Jersey.
I don’t see how restructuring the system to raise base tuition and move tzedakah funds to subsidize it will solve the tuition crisis. For that, you either need to raise total income for the schools, or lower costs. Shuffling around the same money isn’t a solution.
He?
He.
I am looking to get a couple sets that are classics and will be useful for the rest of my life.
Definitely Mishnah Berurah if you don’t have one. Dirshu is a good idea.
Another idea for a classic which you haven’t mentioned is a set of Mikraos Gedolos.
What do you like to learn?
Also, what do you already have?
If they don’t stop, that means they obviously do make money from it.
He’s a troll.
A good one, because he got people to respond, but a troll.
The unpopular but sensible answer is to model a yeshiva after your local public school system.
In NYC, the cost per student is around $18,000 annually. That’s not a sensible system to emulate.
Are they literally not being accepted in any yeshiva, or are the parents being selective and refusing to send to certain yeshivas?
If the recent increase in anti-Semitism has anything to do with Trump, it’s more likely a counter-reaction to his pro-Israel stances, and his close association with many Jews, than with any personal anti-Semitic views.
Sam Klein, until you accept upon yourself to do your own personal teshuvah, your constant exhortations for us to do communal teshuvah ring hollow.
If Jews are supposed to dress differently than non- Jews, why do chasidim dress in the same clothes as 19th century Russian nobles
How many non Jews do you know who dress as 19th century Russian nobles?
There are other animals besides cows and pigs.
Whether or not financial incentive plays a role is a machlokes between the Chasam Sofer and the Pri Chodosh (others as well). As Rav Moshe writes, the minhag in klal Yisroel was always like the Chasam Sofer, and Rav Moshe held that his heter works even according to the Chasam Sofer.
