abc: His entire family was on the train and the vast majority of the rest were zionist officials and their families. The Torah Jews were a small portion. The “investigation” and film from a few years ago was started and conducted by zionists in a bad attempt to rehabilitate his image. Like said, the author of Perfidy and Israeli Judge Haleivi, who convicted Kastner, are zionists themselves who acknowledged his murderous evil.
The Skulener Rebbe is the other godol who is cosponsoring this even with Rav Matisyahu Solomon. Many other gedolim are supporting it too.
This is where Rav Shlomo Auerbach came in, He had said someone who marries off he daughter like that is a Rasha and not to be belived and it was void
I believe you are mistaken, and Rav SZ never said it is void. AFAIK the halacha gives the father a chezkas kashrus if he declared he married off his daughter.
write or wrong: What country are you in?
haifagirl: Why do you make a brocho?
There was a case all over the news about 15 – 20 years ago of a couple in a bitter divorce where the father declared he married off his little daughter in this manner, and refused to disclose to whom. It was an ongoing situation for a number of years. I don’t know or remember what the resolution to that case was, but everyone was all up in arms (obviously).
writersoul: No. (The reason of the halacha is not because he is the breadwinner.) Her paycheck still belongs to him.
Kastner’s got one train of 1600 people, mostly filled up with his family, friends and zionist officials. He threw in a handful of Torah Jews to cover who it was mostly filled with. In return for this favor to him by Eichmann (of allowing this train out) he facilitated, with Eichmann, the murder of 550,000+ Hungarian Jews. Eichmann himself said that he could never have murdered the 550,000+ Hungarian Jews without the help he got from Kastner.
The Zionists don’t deserve one iota of credit for the Torah in EY which is flourishing DESPITE them and their efforts to impede it. I addressed the money issue above. It began flourishing before them and will continue flourishing long after they are gone.
Yes, he was in cahoots with Adolff Eichmann. He hid the Vrba-Wetzler report detailing the trains were going to death camps. Even AFTER THE WAR WAS OVER, he testified on behalf of Nazis (Kurt Becher) in the Nuremberg war crimes trials, to get the Nazis off the hook. Read Perfidy (authored by a Zionist ironically) and Zionist Judge Haleivi’s conviction of Kastner on multiple counts. (Later a higher Zionist court tried to cover it up by overturning most — but not all — of the counts.)
What’s the big deal about having it?
The Zionists were complicit with the Nazis in the murder of European Jewry. Read about Head Hungarian Zionist Rudolf Kastner’s complicity with Nazi Adolf Eichmann in having Hungarian Jewry lead to the gas chambers. Or how the Zionists impeded the trucks-deal that could have saved Jewish lives from the Nazis. Or when Weitzman said one cow in Palestine is worth more than all the Jewish lives in Europe.
The local Arabs didn’t rise up against Jewish immigration to Palestine until the Zionists made clear they wanted to take political control of Palestine. That is what lead to the 1929 massacre and other atrocities.
AOM: First the Zionists instigate the Arabs against the Jews in EY, then the Jews have to thank the Zionists for protecting them from the Arab response to their instigations? I don’t think so. (Yes, even 1929 was a response to the Zionist provocations.)
Talmidim of the Vilna Gaon and the Baal Shem Tov have been moving to Eretz Yisroel since the early 1700’s. The number of Chareidim moving to EY has been increasing since that time. Long before and no thanks to the late-coming Zionists, who only started immigrating much much later than the Chareidim.
Yes, the British after ousting the Ottomons, placed quotas limiting immigration. But the Zionists were responsible for that British response due to their provoking the Arabs with their constant angling to take over political control of Palestine. So no thanks to the zionists for eliminating the very British quotas they were effectively responsible for happening in the first place. And, btw, because the Zionists instigated the British to impose those quotas, more Jews died in the holocaust. That is what you can thank the Zionists for.
As far as current government funding of Yeshivas are concerned, that is a fair kasha. And, indeed, many Yeshivas including Brisk and many Chasidisha yeshivas refuse to take a penny in government funds, even though they are legally entitled to that money. And the ones that do take, their students families pay more in taxes than they receive in student subsidies and tuition payments from the government. And as far as utilities and protection and street paving, etc, the Chareidim lived without it in EY prior to the Zionists and never asked for it.
More and more and more Yidden have been moving to Eretz Yisroel since the late 1800’s. No thanks to the medina.
Your path doesn’t cross with your classmate??
Yenta, why dont you tell her this in person?
Yes, Sam. The Conservatives claim to adhere to halacha like the zionists claim their philosophy and actions adhere to halacha. Both are wrong.
Whose guts do we eat in our cholent?
Specifically what proofs do the secularists bring in their claims of how they believe in their timeline?
Are kidneys kishkas? As in – I can feel it in my kishkas.
So what? And gray hats were worn 400 years ago? It was some other kind of hat. The uniform of bnei Torah has changed over time. But there always was a uniform. And always included some sort of hat or headgear. Today it is a black hat.
In 150 years? Who knows. Maybe we’ll all be wearing Spodiks.
You could make the same argument vis-a-vis Conservative. Why can’t we all live side by side and accept our disagreements about halacha and agree to disagree.
OOM: Just checked and you’re correct that higher education doesn’t statistically increase the likelihood of divorce. Though the OP’s original point that proportionally, by far, it is the wife seeking the divorce is indeed demonstrated in government compiled statistics of court filings.
If you generally follow Mishna Brura for psak, this should be followed too.
There’s a set amount based upon how many meals the poor man has in his possession, that determines his eligibility for tzedakah.
Oy, ZeesKite. Why do you have all those chumros you just mentioned? You think it is better to have those chumros? You look up to people who have these chumros (no texting, learning an hour, Tehilim, v’ahavta…)?
Kaiser as in Ceaser? How do you know they were only local representatives?
zahavasdad: Following Shammai’s approach is 100% Torahdik. Eilu v’Eilu.
Some raised the very pertinent question as to why the men sitting in a mixed seating event are able to remain in their seats in clear view of the women dancing in front of them (and how the women can dance in front of the men), a clear violation of halacha.
There is no valid answer to this problem.
National statistics maintained by the government clearly show college-grad women are far more likely to divorce.
So if we have an offene pasuk that says some people were alive during both Beis Hamikdash’s, when else can the discrepancy be placed at?
mermaid: We generally follow the Mishna Berura.
Sam2: You don’t have to give a number and I don’t have to figure it out on my own. There is a psak that gives the upper limit of the number, that I’ve cited above.
20 is the age a person becomes chayiv for dinei shamayim.
Not in regards to arayos. By arayos issues it says to take all chumros.
Rav Wozner has a psak that says the latest in 7, based on the Chazon Ish.
Torah has been growing and growing in Eretz Yisroel before the zionists ever existed. Torah Yidden livedin EY before the zionists. And continued flourishing DESPITE the zionists.
Shomer negia is applicable even to a non-immediate relative single girl that is tahor.
I believe the historians base their timeline on historical records they’ve compiled, not on archeology.
Yasher Koach ZeesKite and HaKatan.
By Jews the key age is 20, not 21.
1. Torah is not equally imporant as the Army. Torah is more important.
2. There is no Milchemes Shel Mitzvah today.
3. All citizens should be required to sit in Yeshiva and learn Torah for at least as long as they want to require Army service. After they implement that, we’ll discuss Army service.
4. Since you are discussing Torah law, newlyweds and anyone afraid of war gets an exemption.
OneOfMany: In which areas? BP?
How does Hatzalah get into Meah Shearim on Shabbos?
Sam: It makes no difference if it is most or not. One Jew being mechallel is one too many. (And if you taaina they will be mechallel anyway through another route, you could say the same in Yerushalayim.)
Sam: I would think the issue would be the same as in EY. There are lots of frei yidden in NY. And they could be passing through BP.
yitayningwut: “Year six-thousand is when the world supposedly will come to an end. But it isn’t reliable.”
Who brings down that it will it supposedly come to an end then? And what makes you feel that source is unreliable? I’ve heard 6000 is when Moshiach must come by. Year 7000 is when the world must end.
MCP: MYOB. Dont mix into someone elses shalom bayis and cause problems.
(Besides, a husband can tell his wife when he would like a food to be improved in the future.)
Diabetes is now a major problem among Americans in general, as akuperma pointed out. Not particular to Jews.
