ROTFLMKO!
It’s just too bad that squeak abandoned ship; otherwise he’d be rolling.
It’s pretty obvious there are more Kohanim than Leviim. This can be noticed in almost any shul, whether by dichining or by aliyas when there is often Kohanim but no Levi.
Also, lesschumra’s comment makes no sense and is incorrect.
A religious marriage has no legal standing in U.S. civil law. A clergyman may perform a religious marriage anywhere in the United States without any registration and without the couple ever registering a civil marriage. It will be considered as if they are not married, under civil law. The couple will be, according to civil law, two unrelated people. And that arrangement is entirely legal. The Constitution generally prohibits the State from regulating a religious function. In this case described, the religious marriage is a religious function.
If the State is one of the ten “common-law marriage” States, the couple will be considered married (by virtue of their living arangements; not by virtue of their religious ceremony.) In the other 40 States, they will be considered unmarried. There is no law anywhere in the U.S. (anymore) prohibiting two unmarried people from living together and having children. In fact, such unmarried arrangements is quite common these days (and entirely legal) among the secular American populace.
The Fundamentalist Mormons, even today, perform religious marriage ceremonies between one man and multiple wives. As long as they do not register a second wife as a civil marriage, they are not prosecuted for bigamy notwithstanding the fact they are religiously married to more than one wife. (Think about it: If it were illegal for a clergyman to perform a religious marriage without a civil marriage, what exactly would they charge the couple or the clergyman with? Nothing. And that is even where there is only one husband and one wife! They don’t charge even if he is marrying a guy to two wives..)
truthsharer: Please clarify your point about how and why Florida is different in regards to “second marriages”. Are you referring to bigamy?
Again, that is referring only to a civil marriage. There are no regulations or restrictions on the performance of a religious marriage — which can legally be conducted without a civil marriage. (And if a religious marriage is conducted without a civil marriage in a State such as New York that doesn’t have “common-law marriage”, then the couple will be considered to not be married under civil law.)
truthsharer: That is for a civil marriage. But no clergyman requires any license to perform a religious marriage without a civil marriage (which is both possible and entirely legal.)
The primary objection to this consent form is that it is not merely just a consent form, but rather it contains specific objectionable language attempting to frighten parents away from doing MBP with language that falsely claims MBP is dangerous and causes brain damage and death.
Aside from the above required language on the form being false, it illegally forces the mohel to share the government’s opinion on the issue that he doesn’t agree with. That is a violation of the free speech provision in the Constitution.
(As an aside, there are absolutely no legal restrictions on clergy in NY performing a religious marriage ceremony without the couple obtaining a civil marriage.)

Curiosity and oomis1105: If you believe Wolf was kidding or being sarcastic when he appended those remarks to many of his comments, think of the apology this way: He is sorry for the sarcasm or poor humor.
There is no heter to be Mechallel Shabbos.
Yiddish is used to speak with each other by Yidden from different parts of the world who have different local languages.
Yiddish is the international language of the Jew.
A BT FFB is someone who was FFB, went OTD, then became a BT.
bpt: Are you suggesting if he cries now, he’ll be laughing later?
AWS is a low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that can power application hosting, backup and storage, content delivery, web hosting, databases, etc.
Sam: Somehow I doubt the likelihood that if this shaila c’v arose in real life that the person would google for a teshuva, find your post and pasken off of it.
Perhaps, then, you’d feel more comfortable and productive spending your time on a cooking and baking forum.
Someone who authors “Kosher Jesus” (sic) deserves no better.
6 months of Rav Elyashev’s life is equivalent to more than a year of any of ours.
How’s a ponytail a chatitza for tefilin?
The kiddie threads.
The chap probably went overseas on a vacation and left no contact instructions.
Nu, the Baal Shem Tov and the Vilna Gaon and many other Rebbes and Rabbonim did ?????.
Klal Yisroel had (and has) many many choshuve yidden whose entire lives are l’sheim shamayim.
Chabad threw Boteach out. And that’s something, because Chabad rarely ever throws anyone out.
Exactly. There is nothing unnatural about the gentiles wanting all to become slaves in order to serve G-d, by serving G-d’s people in their service to G-d. That, in fact, is the most natural desire any gentile can have once he sees the truth and the light of G-d via Moshiach. And there is no Rambam disputing any of that.
Sam: You can always find some shitta somewhere to knock off almost most of anything.
Does it not say that the nochorim will willingly make themselves available to freely serve Yidden, after Moshiach comes
(and will actually fight over the honor of who will be able to serve them)?
(and, once again, what type of feelings it will cause probably depends on what the communities were like that each of them grew up in and live in).
You really believe the “type of feelings (arousal) it will cause” are different in different communities?
Sam: Igros Moshe EH 4:60 states quote “There is also a severe prohibition from the Torah in close friendships between a young man and woman.” end-quote It makes no exemptions.
mdd: Please cite a source for that; or shall we just consider that an urban legend?
He is well-respected as a great and tremendous public speaker. His claim to fame isn’t his scholarly knowledge. (Though he may be a scholar, he isn’t known as being a greater scholar than the average scholar.)
Sam, Rav Moshe’s famous teshuva about being friends with a girl says *emphatically* that it is completely assur. Read it inside.
WIY: Don’t get the wrong impression. Most frum couples are very happily married.
Dawn has arrived. And a survivor there is only one. Who shall it be? Soon we shall see. When she makes her post; we’ll wish adios to her adversary.
From Rav Yitzchok Hutner:
From Rav Yaakov Kamenetzky:
mdd: The Litvish Gedolim don’t “do not fight them so much“. The Litvish Gedolim do not fight them at all. And not only do they not fight them, they actually join them, as I mentioned above. And the reason they join them (and do not fight them at all), is because they hold of them as Gedolei Yisroel. And even if they may have different shittos on some halachic issues, they consider each other as full Torah-oriented kehillos.
mdd: Litvishe Gedolim object to a number of the shittos of other Litvishe Gedolim — and Chasidishe Gedolim object to a number of the shittos of other Chasidishe Gedolim. It’s been like that for over 2,000 years. And it’s normal and acceptable and it’s all Torah.
Nevertheless, the Litvish Gedolim sit with the Chasidishe Gedolim on the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah as well as on many other inter Litvish-Chasidish functions. (Agudas Yisroel, Siyum HaShas, Yeshivos, etc.)
They each fully accept each other as Gedolei HaTorah. Need I quote for you the hespedim they gave for each other (i.e. The Satmar Rebbe’s amazing hesped of Rav Ahron Kotler at his levaya; or the hespedim by Rav Yitzchok Hutner and Rav Yaakov Kaminetzky of the Satmar Rebbe; and many others.)
Natfush: You are not disagreeing with me. You are disagreeing with the Torah — and a b’feirush posek with Rashi, at that.
A duel to the death at dawn is the only fair solution. Whoever wins gets to retire the other ones screen name forever.
The rules:
Facing each other at a distance of 20 paces. Your dueling pistols are loaded.
“Pistols at dawn!”
Feif: I think you misunderstood pba’s point. pba is (correctly) pointing out that the person who made that comment was giving his “shabbos greetings” to girls on the street with sexual overtones even if he didn’t outwardly acknowledge he was doing so. Perhaps he even told himself he wasn’t, but his comment (that pba responded to) proved he did in fact have those overtones, as he was evaluating their lascivious value to himself.
The comparison to the Gra is invalid for a multitude of reasons, including (but not limited to) a) the Gra was specifically referring to specific chasidim of his time not all chasidim or future generations for the next 300 years b) the Gra’s successors have made up with Chasidim and have accepted them as full ehrlich bnei Torah for well over 100 years already (and on this basis we can assume the Gra would agree with the metzius of the current situation and c) based on “b”, we can even assume the Gra would agree his initial assessment may have been mistaken. (But even if you disagree with point “c”, the first two points stand.)
Sam: Hmm, I suppose I could hear someone seeing that. But so what? Aside from the fact that I in no way, shape or form intended that thought, what I posted is halachicly (and practically) accurate.
gavra: What do I have against a group of cold-blooded murderers? That they are killers. I don’t have any problem with them executing an adulteress, but I certainly do have a problem with them killing someone on that pretext without any solid proof – which is what they are guilty of.
Whatever the drawbacks (if there are any), it is still significantly less than the drawback of putting your neshama at risk by going to a coed university.
Natfush: “All” ?????? ?? ???? did was greet men on the street. Her being described as a chatterbox was a result of her greeting everyone. And we see where it led her.
Sam2, Thank you. You’re indeed correct. I did in fact mean it as you understand it (and how I explained it in my followup.) But I’m still not getting how I was misunderstood. I perhaps could have worded it more clearly, but what did my original comment unintentionally come across sounding like it meant?
nishtdayngesheft,
That is a perfect description you gave him, as a rabble rouse. See this:
VIDEO: Who Caused The Tension In Beit Shemesh? Watch This, & Decide For Yourselves
As you can see, Lipman b’davka comes to cheppa with frum Yidden. He b’davka walks with an immodestly dressed woman (short-sleeved) with a dog, purposefully walking past a Chareidi Yeshiva with bochorim and yungerliet for no reason, and as he gets close to the Yeshiva, before anything happens, he starts pumping his fists in the air to start a fight with them. He brings cameramen to stick cameras in their faces and ‘pats on the shoulders’ some of the yeshivaleit he doesn’t like, to cheppe with them.
Avi: That’s a bubbe maaisa.
Lipman, among other things, is strenuously attempting to block the building of housing for the frum community in Beit Shemesh.
The Rama is not permissive.
