More contagious and more lethal. Like the delta variant.
Is Delta inherently more lethal, or only more lethal because it’s more contagious?
Vaccines have little to No effect.
We don’t know that yet.
Oh I know, everyone Cower in their Houses.
How about Okaying Ivermectin?!?
Naw, it’s too Cheap and the Pharmaceutical companies can’t make Billions!Also, it doesn’t work.
Other cheap repurposed drugs do work, so why are you pushing Ivermectin? If you have worms, by all means take Ivermectin, but otherwise it’s likely useless and potentially harmful.
I think halacha allows that as long as you are aware of the pricing. If you were to come in without doing market research and he would add the price without explaining, this would be wrong and you could demand it back if overcharge was more than 1/6 (20 percent of normal price)
There no ona’ah on real estate, and that’s what a room rental is.
Might be a poor business decision if it annoys the customers too much, but I don’t otherwise see a problem with it.
If the Rosh Yeshivos said to vote for Biden, would you still vote for Trump or sit the election out?
I would pose the same question to you, about Trump.
if you have already caught Covid is there any benefit to vaccinate afterwards?
Yes, many people have gotten Covid a second time, but it is very rare for someone who had Covid, then got vaccinated, to get Covid again.
Whether it’s worth it is a different question; I think the opinions are divided on that.
I personally do not know anyone who was injured from them
In general, if someone is hurt by the antibodies infusion, it will be chalked up to the Covid, so you would rarely know.
In fact, the immune response is similar to that of a vaccine except that it’s more concentrated than the vaccine so any negative reaction would actually be stronger.
It’s just as untested as the vaccines, so the whole antivax argument goes out the window if the alternative is the more risky MaBs treatment.
So I’m guessing a 4th shot coming soon as a booster?
Right now, the preliminary evidence is showing that the booster is effective for 9-10 months. Perhaps longer. This will likely turn into a yearly booster, similar to a flu shot.
The only thing it may do is lower the severity of the disease,
So you are basically admitting that it saves lives, yet you are trying to convince people not to take it.
Monoclonal antibodies for one, work wonders.
Why would you think that is any safer than the vaccines?
It lasts around 8 months.
Probably less
what is the point of the vaccines?
Overall, reduces cases of Covid and severity in those who do get infected.
Judging the vaccines as ineffective based on an anecdote is silly.
If I told you that I know someone who got seriously injured in a car crash despite wearing a seat belt, would you conclude that seat belts don’t work?
And, whether or not some gedolei yisrael said he was not a gadol or not, he is a Gadol and we all have to respect him.
Not sure what that’s supposed to mean. Are we supposed to accept your assessment over the assessment of gedolim?
We need a list. It is important to know who is and is not a real gadol.
It is indeed very important to know who is a gadol, but there is no universally accepted list
because what other gedoilim accomplished was mainly during their life
Just another example of the myopic Chabad-centric mindset.
Please tell me how in the world some gedolim can hold others are not gedolim? Gedolim are Gedolim.
I don’t understand the question. Is there some list of gedolim somewhere, written by Eliyahu Hanavi, which nobody can disagree with?
I would be really surprised to hear that gedolim just say that ‘the Lubavitcher Rebbe isn’t a Gadol’ just because they disagree.
Wouldn’t that depend on what it is they disagree with?
Why is there no mention of non-Chabad gedolim and Jews?
Because they are unimportant (at best) in Chabad. That is the blunt truth.
i can attest that litvishe bochuim have come up to me and mocked the Rebbe in disgusting ways that they would never say about other gedoilim or even poshiter yidden.
Not really a tayna, when, as I believe you alluded to above, Lubavich holds some of the greatest Litvishe gedolim in severe contempt.
Amazon has some Vivitar cameras for under $30.
Obviously, they won’t be as good as most smartphone camera, but not everyone has a smartphone.
Avira, what kind of Shidduch Crisis do the Chasidim have? The age gap issue isn’t much of a thing by the Chasidim.
Right. That’s why the issue there is the reverse.
770 is also gematria חמור בלי דעת (which are also ראשי תיבות חב”ד). Does that prove anything?
Little Froggie’s best topic is actually Hilchos Ribbit.
There’s a book named The Dynamics Of Dispute, written by Rabbi Zvi Lampel, which deals with this issue.
I agree with HaLeiVi.
DY: I told you so!
Yes, you did, but so far you’re wrong.
So, is it remotely possible that the common denominator isn’t the cost, but rather that they work? And that the reason they didn’t approve Ivermectin and HCQ is because they don’t?
Do you know how much Remedsivir & Monoclonal Antibodies cost?
And those are approved the Government.Right, and so are Dexamethasone and Fluvoximine, which aren’t that expensive.
Pro Ivermectin people:
How do you explain Dexamethasone and Fluvoximine? If the FDA doesn’t want to approve repurposed drugs such as Ivermectin be ause of greed, why are those okay?
What point did you prove?
Of course??

Yeah, but in the mesechta, even brothers married to non relatives are constantly dying…
I’ll note that they don’t come in individual portion containers, which is what the OP asked.
Which almond based? I find those too thin as well.
I use Califia Farms almond based creamer which has some coconut added to increase the creamiest.
The Kirkland vanilla soy milk is pretty good too.
Huju:
1. Kashya oif a maysa. They get ruined in the rain.
2. They take them off when they daven. Also, now raincoats with built in hat sized hoods are ubiquitous, and plastic bags over hats are no longer common.
they getting smaller and smaller
I said that almost five years ago
GH: Yibum is when there are two (or more) paternal brothers, one of whom dies childless. The brother marries (or does chalitzah if he does not want to marry) the widow. This marriage is called yibum (yevama reverse to the widow; the plural is yevamos, but the actual name of the mesechta (tractate) is likely actually “Yabmus” which refers to the topic of this type of marriage).
If two brothers are married to two sisters, and one brother dies, he cannot marry his sister in law, because she is his wife’s sister, and a man cannot marry two sisters.
This case, with several variations, is frequently discussed in the Gemara.
As I pointed out on the other thread, R Soloveitchik’s position that a woman learning secular studies must also learn gemara has been shown in real life to be incorrect.
The controversy isn’t about a self motivated woman learning on her own, so the second part of your post is irrelevant.
Not sure why R Schach’s position is rejected now, unless I am not aware that he changed it later on.
Yeshivos are still not fully government funded
@Daas and Syag and AAQ this tread is about Rav Tendler, not womens education
Someone mentioned his shittah on women learning gemara.
Did she go to BJJ?
The claim is that modern educated women need Gemora learning to support their emunah at the intellectual level they are.
It’s a silly claim, because there’s plenty of material which Bais Yaakovs offer which is on a high intellectual level without learning gemara. Speak to anyone beho knows something about BJJ.
You may be particularly unappreciative to the concept because it applies less to women in your community
Aside from that comment being arrogant and condescending, it’s blatantly untrue. There is certainly a big range of education level in our community (as there is in the MO community) but that range extends to law degrees and above. Yet, learning gemara is still unnecessary and therefore assur (self motivated learning is not assur, but mandated, structured classes are). Plus, as mentioned above, the Bais Yaakov system has managed to make a high level Torah based curriculum available for those who need it, without having to resort to learning gemara.
Bottom line: the success of the Bais Yaakov curriculum is a complete rebuttal to the claim that nowadays it is necessary to teach gemara to girls, and the only reason the MO do it is because they are too weak to fight the feminist elements among them.
