Is the Simchas Torah drinking taking place before/during dancing? Because Kiddush is only made AFTER dancing. So how does the drinking help with the dancing?
That’s like saying there was at least one kashrus shaila in the IM that was determined kosher and there was at least one kashrus shaila in the IM that was determined non-kosher.
Tzvi: Is that offer good for every day?
Areivim Zeh L’Zeh is very much a reason to make an all-out effort to try to stop it.
Per Hour: $37.91
Per 45 minutes: $21.34
2qwerty: So they are married even if there are no eidim?
A child under Bar/Bas Mitzvah cannot halachicly get married?
Sam2: That would make zero legal difference than the reverse.
Wolf: I don’t agree that the location is inferior. And I don’t believe the law does either.
And there are other private buses that operate segregated lines as well without any legal problems.
Wolf: The seats are equal. There is no quality difference between them. Why is it legally any different than a gender segregated restroom?
There is no more discrimination than separate restrooms. I haven’t heard any demands for unisex restrooms. Both genders have a right to board the bus and sit on the bus.

OneOfMany: This bus is operated by a private carrier.
OneOfMany and Wolf: Again, the law allows private bus operators to segregate their buses. So to compare it to religious child sacrifice is absurd. The only issue here is the franchise agreement. And considering the law allows segregation by private entities, a franchise by a government entity cannot abrogate a parties religious freedom that is protected by law — and segregation is so protected by law. (See, for example, Monsey Bus.) Additionally, the bus company is not getting paid by the government to run this bus. The franchise is simply an allowance to operate the bus route on the public roads.
What’s the big deal if she thought you married young?
OneOfMany: A franchise issued by government agency/public entity cannot provision terms that violate the First Amendment (or any part of the Constitution for that matter — which takes precedence over Federal, State and local laws and regulations), whereas a private entity can in many instances.
And legally you need not demonstrate that something is an “established tenet of Judaism”. You need only demonstrate you in good faith believe your religion asks that of you. And a private bus company is legally entitled to have separate seating.
How about eating on your front lawn or bungalow outdoor porch?
Other than her looks, what attracted you to her? Referring to things that a shidduch should be based on: Baalas Chesed, Yirei Shamayim, Bas Talmid Chochom, etc.
Or was it just the looks?
Sad state of affairs, but one that the membership of the 1960s 70s set the stage for, all by themselves
bpt: What do you mean by that?
BH: You need to differentiate between guys and gals, as it is completely different between the two.
Wolf: I believe you to be mistaken. Your comparison to Dunkin Donuts is invalid, as DD is a private entity while the City or State or MTA are public entities. A private entity does not (necessarily) have to respect your First Amendment Constitutional Rights. Yet a public entity cannot deny — even contractually — your First Amendment constitutional rights.
OP: When are you starting the wonderful shul?
Looking forward.
The goyim stole anything half descent they have, from us. Of course they twisted almost all of it to make it almost unrecognizable.
Mods: “AbeEsq” left an inappropriate comment above.
Itche: What is the address to that online calculator?
That’s the way it should be. The men only know the men, and the women only know the women.
Are the chasidim properly called Lubavitcher chasidim or Chabad chasidim? Why two names?
All the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s had a successor when they passed away, except the last one. Why was he the first rebbe that did not have a successor?
However,it’s gotten to the point where my machutten won’t eat anything cooked in my wife’s pots because we ea gebrocht
That’s totally legitimate. If ones minhag is to not eat gebrochts, he is correct in not eating gebrochts by hus machutten either. He cannot throw out minhagim.
I never met or even heard of anyone that held of of gebrochts and thought that gebrochts was halacha rather than a chumra. That is simply not true.
popa: Okay, so some people will get mad. Let’s hear it.
popa: Can you please cite some examples?
But Bizui Talmid Chochom does not apply to everyone. So it is clearly far worse to do it to a Rov/Talmid Chochom.
Pollard plans to break out of prison and escape to Israel. I heard this from Pollard himself.
Clinton’s Shalom Chaver was a farewell at a funeral.
popa: The kosher consumer has a hard time knowing who is “in” and who is “out” of the club. (Other than, perhaps, the prominent cases you mentioned.)
When calling the cRc what do you ask them in order to find out who is “in”?
Which posek provides this “heter” to enter the sanctuary of a christian church for the service with cross donning priests invoking cheese ‘n crackers and reciting the christian religious lithurgy?
All the aforementioned (and more) poskim strictly forbid it. None provide any such alleged “heter”.
Still no posek that disagrees with the Rambam, Ritba, Rosh, Rashba, Rav Moshe, Tzitz Eliezer, Rav Ovadia Yosef, and every other posek who comments on going into the sanctuary for a christian church service?
Didn’t think so.
You can’t go into a church because of avoda zora. The gemora says you shouldn’t even go into a *city* where avoda zora is practiced, but we can’t follow that since it is virtually impossible. But as far as a church, ALL the poskim say forbidden. (Mishna, Gemorah, Rambam, Ritba, Rosh, Rashba, Rav Moshe, Tzitz Eliezer, Rav Ovadia Yosef, et al).
I’m still waiting for one who says otherwise.
Anyone? There isn’t any.
Bizui Talmid Chochom only applies to a Talmid Chochom.
Why would attending an Avoda Zora service be any different than bowing down to an Avoda Zora “Mishum Eivah”? The poskim all say forbidden to enter a church. You will not find even one, otherwise, to allow attendance of a Christian church service.
What is Aish Kodesh of Woodmere like?
less: Rav Moshe wrote so in the Igros Moshe.
old man: For goyim the Meiri writes that. (And even in that case many seforim write that that was written in the Meiri for the Christian censors.)
But that is irrelevant for this case, as for Yidden everyone including the Meiri agrees Christianity is Avoda Zora.
And in any event, all the poskim agree it is strictly forbidden to attend a Christian church service. (It is even forbidden to go into a church sanctuary when there is no service being held.)
How many non-frum Jews live in BP, anyways?
They could get police barricades to make a enclosed path on the side of the street, like some shuls did.
Conservative and Reform are the same kefira. It’s prohibited to go into one of their houses of prayers, which is no better than a church.
The Chazon Ish’s point isn’t that hard to understand. The Chazon Ish saw that the Mizrachim had no respect for the Chofetz Chaim and other Gedolim. The pictures were just secondary and used to illustrate that fact, by the Chazon Ish.
yitay: It was an Anglican Church — The Church of England. And it was an actual Avoda Zora service. Galachim with tzeilim’s invoking yushke’s name and saying the Christian lithurgy. With the “Chief Rabbi” sitting in the pew. Please find me ONE posek from the time of the Tannaim through Rav Moshe. There isn’t any.
tab: What does “bumped into a male cousin” mean?
Shelo Asani Goy is a Torah sanctioned prejudice.
