“And people wonder why some people are against kollel.”

That comment is uncalled for, instead of pocketing the money the OP wants to do what the halachah is, why are you bashing thousands of G-d fearing jews?

The Turks are not arabs, they are muslims.

(Arabs is a race, Islam is a religion that most arabs and many more none arabs believe in. And while any medrash might refare to arabs as a race islam as a religion started around 1,300 years ago, that will be at least 500 years after any medrash)

Refuah shleimah.

Well if one looks up psukim instead of roaming other places on the internet then of course yes, but it sure dosen’t subsitute a real good old fasion blat gemarah.

In all aries that one person is credible i.e. issur vehetur a woman is also valid, however when there is a need for two eidim e.i. gitin, kidusin, dinei mamonois and dinei nefashos a woman is not a valid eid.

For a recent conflict how about the Gaza blockade?

AYC, Agreed but the question is how much time is healty to do that and when is one overdoing it?

“How many wives send a plate over?”

Most of the shanah reshonah wives. (I’m passed that stage so I don’ get anymore…)

Actualy its meant to enhance our shalom beis. Can you imagine what a plate sent in to the husband by his wife is doing for their marrige? Now had it be the other way around how many husbands would be standing next to the mechitzah making sure their wife gets a plate? com’n fellow men, admit it!!

“the chassidim the parents meet the girl/boy even befor they meet each other….

seems like the chassidisha girls survive and it’s quite successfull and waaay less stressful! “

Makes one wonder why the whole shiduch crisis is less of an ishue by chasidim.

(how do you type a music sound?)

“deiyezooger; …And Ashkenaz, according to the Gemarah in Maseceth Yoma (10a) states that it (Ashkenaz) is “Germania Shel Edom”. Rashi elaborates further, that there is Inner and Outer Saxonia. “

The gemarah in megilah also mantions “Gemarmaya shel Adom” and the Sifsi Chachamim says there that it refares to Germeny.

aries, You are right. I read a story about a cong. that hired a chazan who brought along his own choir for Rosh Hasanah/Yom Kipur and it turned out that one of them was not jewish and the cong. refused to pay. It went to court and the judge asked the cong. to prove there is an halachic ishue with a non jew who was not the actual chazan but part of the choir. So they turned to one of the gedolim who told them that since tefilah is in place of korbanos it has the same halachah. A none jew was not alowed to even enter the beis hamikdash. My point is that if we wouldn’t learn hilchos korbanos how would we be able to draw a paralal for tefilah.

Get the driving manuel from the DMV, its not such a big deal to study for it. Its a rether easy test with multiple choice answers. The only thing hard to remember is the questions about the leagal alcohol level.

If you can understand learning history and astronomy even if its not relevent, why not gemarah?

If one dosen’t toivel she is a “moredes”, if he is abusive then she has a valid reason to be a “moredes”. There is no halacha that states that one is not alowed to be a moredes its only that she is forgoing her kesubah.
