wait long enough and, sure, the masks will not be needed
They were never needed for the vaccinated.
Maybe as more people are vaccinated, the risk of getting sick diminishes and less restrictions are required.
You missed his point. The loosening of restrictions was sudden and unexpected.
He didn’t discourage vaccination; I don’t know where you got that notion from.
Now that the supply is higher than demand, they pull out their secret weapon and remove restrictions for the vaccinated
For all practical purposes they removed them for everyone since nobody’s checking.
why should i take the the vacccine if i had the virus already ?
They think the vaccine gives better and longer lasting immunity than immunity obtained by getting the virus. It’s also more recent.
Does that mean it’s worth it? I don’t know. I think getting vaccinated is pretty much a no-brainer for someone who never has the virus, but I understand the hesitancy of someone who once had it. I’m also not anxious for 12 year olds to get the Covid vaccine.
Jackk, how would you compare her response to the situation in Eretz Yisroel now to the response of the squad and Bernie?
Either that or your jokes are very elevated.
Shooting hundreds of rockets at Israeli civilians isn’t provocative? 🤔
You can buy me the cheesecake, I won’t feel indebted to you.
@syag-lchochma I never said I am pro-death! Stop LYING!!!!!
Nobody ever said you said you are pro death. I am saying you are pro death.
Based on your track record, I would say lying, so I’ll stick with my assertion that you are pro death.
In a word, yes
Then you are either lying or ignorant.
IyH this “war” will bring משיח and this wouldn’t have happened if trump was president
I would take משיח over Trump
CA, that’s an odd comment. You’re basically saying you’re okay with rockets being shot at Yerushalayim.
Do you deny that every year people die of the flu and that if everyone wore masks there were would be fewer deaths from flu?
It’s not that I don’t “care” about people dying from the flu, it’s that the link between me not wearing a mask and people dying from the flu is tenuous at best
So you’re also pro death. Just less than us.
To DaasYochid: If Yiddish is not going anywhere, are you saying it will not go into the future? Is your command of Yiddish any better than your command of English?
If you’re going to nitpick my terminology, I might as well point out that “the future” is not a place.
N0, I am not calling to 19th century idea that Torah can be reduced to health regulations
Glad to hear that, because it certainly seemed that you were.
If Yiddish is to continue as an effective language
Lol it’s not in any danger of going anywhere.
DY: It it fair to say that “rebbetzin” has simply become to (almost) be used as another way of saying “wife” or “Mrs.”?
Not in its more formal use, only in a light-hearted way.
To answer the OP, it’s become common to use the term rebbtzin in a nonliteral way, e.g. “I am inviting you and your rebitzen to sheva brochos” (CS objected to that, but it doesn’t bother me, since the term rebbetzin doesn’t really have that much importance to me).
Using the term for a public speaker whose husband isn’t a rabbi sort of expands that.
i would add that i probably disagree with your statement as there seems to be a lack of understanding of roles that can lead to the false belief that it is the same role but differently labled.
I think a rabbi in a chareidi community has a different role than a rabbi in a modern community. So if a “rebbetzin” in a chareidi community plays a similar role as a rabbi in a modern community (public speaking/chizuk), does that make her a MO rabbi?
The above proves somewhat that she can be a Rebbetzin before getting married as Vashti argued that she was a queen before marrying Achashverus.
Inapt comparison. The classic definition of a rebbetzin is a rav’s wife, but a queen does not have to be a king’s wife.
Huju, please elaborate. Which points do you disagree with, and why?
We are drowning in milk, I was giving a theoretical scenario where we weren’t.
Never heard of a crooked grin?
What would I do if they weren’t? Probably give it to them and kick myself. 🙂
Ok. I can tell you that I would give it to them and not kick myself.
I also know that if i don’t, someone else will.
Not likely in my scenario.
I thought he was asking if the food was being given to those who would otherwise get it in school.
If you must know it was iced cappacino made with almond milk and a box of cholov yisroel ice cream bars:)
Yes, I was having a hard time sleeping without that info
so i agree with coffee addict that it is similar. While it may not affect the “ruling “in this case, i am careful not to offer free things to people who can purchase them without hardship.
Ignore the source of the food for a moment.
What would you do if your neighbor asked you to pick up some milk, and let’s say you had some extra around (e.g. overbought and would spoli if not used soon). You wouldn’t just give them a container regardless of ability to buy it in the store?
Is this COVID emergency
It started that way, but it seems that the Covid emergency has been used as an excuse for more and more federal giveaways. We are moving towards socialism.
Maybe this is OK and a substitute for “school lunches”
Sort of, but actually (in my locale at least) you’re not eligible if the school your kid attends offers federally funded meals
You are telling me that government gives away food to everyone in private schools?
Not to everyone, but it’s not based on finances.
Yes, I have heard that story, and I don’t understand it at all.
“How can anyone demand that people should drive the speed limit to protect others? How can anyone demand that people should stay inside when the have the flu to protect others? How can anyone demand that people should put fences around construction to protect others?”
Um, it doesn’t say that in that post. Is that your way of twisting his words as you’ve been doing to others’?
Syag, any reaction to the responses here?
can anyone actually answer the question?
Apparently not.
The responses to the OP have been ad hominem, whataboutism, and appeal to authority.
Nobody has actually refuted his point though.
OP, are you referring to a learning camp or a sports (etc.) camp?
I don’t know enough about the shooting in this story
There’s a video.
I vaguely recall an incident more than 5 years ago
I believe you are referring to Gideon Busch a”h, and the incident took place over 20 years ago, and I don’t think YWN existed then.
Was there another case of a mentally ill frum man carrying a hammer who was shot by a NYPD cop? I don’t think so.
If a frum boy in the heart of BP was attacking someone with a knife and a cop shot him, I don’t know if I would be singing a different tune, but I’m sure the leftists would.
There wasn’t time to “deescalate the situation”. She had a knife raised and was about to stab the other girl.
The Rambam says that women aren’t obligated in Pesach Sheni.
Someone says there’s one Gd and you challenge them??!!
I have some extra lefty mugs if you want
1. There’s a mitzvah regardless. The chiyuv, according to some, is when it’s less than ⅙ more.
As I mentioned, it’s not actual gezel. Pretty sure the OP didn’t mean it literally either. The point was taking away a potential sale, which would be relevant to someone who is בכלל עמיתך.
2. I’m saying it’s not even a shaila.
👍
I believe a couple more mazel tovs are due…
Avi K: (re: responses to UJM)
1) We are not talking about actual gezeilah. We are talking about taking away a sale from the store owner. There is a mitzvah to buy from a Jew.
2) Nah, nobody is koneh until they pay (or add it to their bill).
True story (although it doesn’t fit Yserbius’ agenda so he’ll probably call me a liar again):
A guy I know was in the hospital with his wife who was having a baby. He noticed her o2 saturation was sitting at 91. He told the nurse to let her remove her mask, and within a minute or two it jumped up to 98.
I agree with Joseph.
There is a halacha to daven in a shul. What was a necessary b’dieved has become l’chatchilah for some for convenience.
