Ujm:
If you think Breslov is doing fine then you don’t know Breslov.I strongly disagree that Israel would be worse off without U.S. aid. Take Gaza for example. If not for U.S. pressure (which comes with the aid), Israel would have finished off Hamas many years ago, and 10/7 never would’ve happened.
There are plenty of other examples where Israel has been hamstrung by U.S. pressure.
Additionally, especially compared to the aid it gives other countries, the U.S. gets a lot back in return for its Israel aid, in the form of intelligence, technological research, and influence.
I’m not saying we don’t owe the U.S. for the aid. Just keep in mind what we lose and give back in return.How about the days when you could order a steak in an expensive restaurant for $50? Now a steak in freakin China Glatt is $50!
Or remember when there were still restaurants in which you could actually decide if and how much you wanted to tip? Now a small meal in a decent restaurant will cost you a $30-$40 tip, no matter how your service was.I don’t understand the people who keep calling for Hamas to surrender. Um…. they’re terrorists.
What people should be saying is that if most people in Gaza are supposedly “innocent civilians”, then they should be rising up against Hamas, or at least helping the IDF with information to help defeat them.Really weird lineup if you ask me.
It was removed for a while. I did those searches, and in fact had it open on another tab which went to an error.
Me too.
Very curious.
They aren’t really prisoners either. That would imply they’re serving a sentence for a crime.
They are captivesHuh? What would making them dual citizens accomplish? You think Hamas will care?
So you’re saying that when the Arab countries expelled 800,000 Jews in 1948, it was because all of those Jews were Zionists?
SQUARE ROOT:
Incorrect. You need a permit for a long gun in NY as well.Not in NY unfortunately, where it’s easier to get approved for a billion dollar loan than to get approved for a pistol license.
The number one priority is not to rescue the hostages, it is to eliminate Hamas. If the hostages are saved at the expense of that goal, then in the long run many more lives will be lost. This is the first lesson to be learnt. In the last 18 years Israel didn’t do what needed to be done to wipe out Hamas because they were afraid of losing too many lives in the process. Well, now we lost the lives anyhow, and that’s before we even got started.
And if Israel isn’t ready for a ground war, then it needs to do whatever is necessary to get ready.
Akuperma:
I’m a bit surprised, you usually have logical points, but that was anything but. If we get the hostages back, does that erase the almost 1500 murdered Israelis?
If this ends with anything but Hamas’ annihilation, Israel will be the joke of the Middle East, with zero deterrence to speak of.It’s natural to compare this to the Yom Kippur war, but it’s really not comparable. In the leadup to that war both the defense establishment and Golda Meir ignored obvious warnings and signs that pointed to a coming war. Golda Meir chose not to approve a preemptive strike which some in the defense establishment were recommending, because she was afraid of world opinion.
In this case, this wasn’t Bibi chosing to ignore an obvious threat. Of course, the Prime Minister is ultimately responsible for whatever happens under his watch; however this was a failure by the intelligence community above all.We ignore anything with the word “modern” in it.
I’ve been using Techloq for a few years on my computer, and I’m very happy. Never noticed any major slowing down of the computer. Mainly I like that they are very discerning. On many pages they’ll gray over skin tones in images instead of just always blocking the entire page. Also if a page is blocked you can request to have it unblocked, and usually they’ll respond within 10 minutes. So often I’ll request to unblock a YouTube video, and they’ll approve it, and their technology blocks all the other images and videos on the YouTube page.
I’ll Whatsapp you the reasons later.
#BoredomAnd lekavod Shabbos it’s my absolute pleasure to pay $7 for that little square dish containing 3.5 tablespoons of flavored mayonnaise which cost the takeout 59 cents to make.
Oh, where to start? I love them all!
There’s:
Dill flavored mayonnaise
Olive flavored mayonnaise
Onion flavored mayonnaise
Eggplant flavored mayonnaise
Pickle flavored mayonnaise
Mushroom flavored mayonnaise
and so many more!R’ Yochanan would sit there so the women would see his handsome face. We can assume, however, that he didn’t leave open the top 3 buttons on his shirt, or wear “yira’eh kol zechurcha” pants, to expose other attractive body parts.
Also, obviously, we are talking about a Tanna. We are treading on dangerous ground when we start to compare ourselves to Tannaim.
There is a reason why it is largely left to the Rishonim to derive practical halacha from the Gemara.Also remember, there were no antibiotics back then. So if you get a serious infection, well… you’ll really lose a lot of weight.
VThe reason given by many for making a younger sibling wait for an older one is that it’s hurtful to the older sibling to see their younger sibling get married first.
But what I can’t understand is, what kind of sick and selfish person would be ok with leaving their younger brother or sister in limbo like that, possibly for years?
And I just love it when I read about those “selfless” siblings who give their “permission” for their younger siblings to skip them. Who the heck are they to give or withhold permission? Are they the parent?I don’t know about the parshiyos, but the leather definitely can be affected by heat. In the past I’ve seen the retzuos become sticky and start sticking to each other.
I’ve found that leaving the car windows open a crack and putting the tefillin under a couple of layers (i.e. your jacket) will keep the tefillin safe.Here are some more:

30th Doctor’s DayFirst we gave up having real relationships and talking to people in real life for chatting with people in cyberspace. Now we’re going to cut out talking to humans altogether and just chat with robots…
AAQ:
And what makes you think that the jury system is, according to the Torah or for that matter by any standard, a just system? A system in which a panel of civilians, unversed in any laws and of unknown ethics and morals, decides the fate of the accused?
A system in which people are convicted, in essence, by a poll?There is no problem with affluent people spending according to their means. There are many examples given in the Gemara of wealthy people living lavishly, and they aren’t criticized usually.
The problem is the less affluent pretending to be affluent, and living accordingly.Wow, this thread is still alive….
Zaphod, I’m sorry I mistyped a letter.
And I’m sorry if I hurt your feelings. But while people obviously don’t come into the CR to make constructive use of their time, they also don’t want to completely waste their time. And posting nonsensical topics meaning and saying nothing does waste the time of those who click on it.I think it’s time YWN put it place age restrictions on commenters. Let’s start with ages 8+ and go from there.
It’s Big Brother. He’s always watching you.
” Is bottled water not heated at some point during the process? ”
No, it’s not.
Funny how it’s none of the business of the hashgachos what goes on in the establishments they are certifying, but it’s everyone’s business how a hashgacha runs its own business.
Sorry, I only know shakers.
I got pulled over while driving with my wife. Cop says we weren’t wearing seat belts. In fact we were. We went to court, hoping somehow we’d get lucky. We didn’t. Cop showed up and lied through his teeth. Cost us almost $400 and I think some points. Welcome to traffic court, where you are guilty until proven innocent.
How insane is this system that with no evidence but the cop’s word, you get fined hundreds of dollars?
If there had been an anti-cop riot going on then, I likely would’ve considered joining in.It’s called capitalism in a secular world. People try to fill the void in their souls with toys and senseless distractions, and other people are happy to make money by making those things, so they themselves can afford to buy their own toys. And so on…
You can have all the sympathy in the world for these poor people, but facts are facts. And the fact is that the United States is a sovereign country with laws. The US government’s job is to enforce those laws, and anyone entering the country illegally is breaking those laws. So as far as the government is concerned there would be nothing wrong with putting illegal aliens on buses and dropping them off right across the border.
Another point: I don’t think the immigrants who were shipped to Massachusetts were victimized. Governor Desantis said they have signed consent forms, and the immigrants were provided an actual map of where they were going. But even if everything the hysterical left said was true, and the Venezuelans were lied to, this doesn’t automatically make it wrong. The border towns are dealing with a massive crisis, and if they think that doing could help spur action, then they have every right to do this.AAQ:
If only that were true. Most young people’s shiduchim are handled by their parents, and the sad fact is that they often are unrealistic in where they are looking and what they are looking for.I suggest you simply read. Read English books, newspapers, whatever. You don’t need to learn to write like Shakespeare, you just need to be able to write simple and coherent sentences. For that you simply need more exposure to English writing.
While I understand the nostalgia aspect of people wanting Chew Chews to come back, I would oppose it if only because there is enough dreck being put out, no needs a reason to eat more candy.
I put the OP’s letter through Google Translate, and I think this is what he’s trying to say, or at least the parts I understand:
It seems he is either not learning or not learning in a “mainstream” yeshiva, and his shidduch prospects are negatively impacted by this. He seems to be upset by the fact in general someone in a mainstream yeshiva, although he may not be doing much actual learning, will fare better in the shidduch world than someone not in a yeshiva.
Definitely a valid complaint. I’d comment on it, but my brain is too stressed from struggling through the letter.I didn’t have a lack of advice; it was the lack of willingness to follow it.
I don’t know whether the accident involved L&S or such, but while we’re on the topic, I’ve got my two rants to add. I’m stuck of having jerks in BP turn on their obnoxious sirens just to try to get ahead in traffic. Aside from being a pain in the rear and stealing other people’s time, they endanger lives. I’ve come to the point that I almost tune out sirens from any car that isn’t a Hatzalah truck. I’m sure I’m far from the only one. That means there will be actual Hatzalah members who will find that no one will move aside for them due to all the tunas that cried wolf.
Asid litein es hadin.Ok let me try again, maybe it was the title, which I don’t get, but ok
GH:
Disingenuous as usual. NY and NJ, which is where most of the frum population lives, have renewables of under 30% and 10%, respectively.
How’s that? Or were my previous posts deleted because I’m not pushing climate change disinformation?Calling people obnoxious names (what you call a title?) is something most people recognize as inappropriate. Why you are finding it to be such a mystery is beyond me.
Please enlighten me so I can try to stick to the rules.
Of course. And the comment is deletable why again? Was I not being polite?
I couldn’t figure out why in the world you block most of my comments, so I figured it was my username you didn’t like.
Major kudos for knowing how to track ip addresses….when the same deletable post shows up under 2 different names there is no need to track ip addresses.
