I’ve read many of the above, and by far the best are LIVING EMUNAH, volumes one and two! They have changed my life and entire perspective on every situation that arises! I bless Rabbi Ashear…
I know of a case where the woman refuses to accept a get, they already have a civil divorce, she just wants revenge, trash-mouths the husband all over town—and beit din in brooklyn, ny, is now recommending heter meah rabbunim to the husband.

It’s well known that when a woman dresses “to kill,” ie. Very long, fancy styled sheitel, VERY high spike heels (platforms etc), tight clothes (even if they cover knees and elbows) , this is a sign of insecurity and low self esteem. She is screaming out for attention, “hey, look at me!” Obviously she’s not getting enough validation or attention from her husband and she needs it from others; in some cases I’ve heard that the husbands themselves tell the wives to dress like that because THEY, THE HUSBANDS ARE THE ONES WHO ARE INSECURE and they want all their buddies and other men to look at their wife and lust after her. In all these cases therapy is in order. In addition they’re unfortunately racking up aveiros by causing men to have forbidden thoughts or gaze at them too long…
I’m a big Trump fan but I’ve become so disgusted at his lack of a filter on his mouth! Just a couple wks ago he was ahead by 6 points, now he’s behind 10 points, all because of his stupid comments. Hillary is probably the worst nominee in history, she’s got so much going against her, and if he’d only focus on going after all her deficiencies (lies, emails, Benghazi, FBi investigation, third term of Obama, etc.) he’d win easily and by a landslide! But because he keeps running his mouth, insulting every person who says a bad word about him, he’s now where he is… G-D help us,
Homeschooling is a Terrible idea! Don’t do this to your kids! They need to grow up feeling like they belong, like they’re like the other kids, that they’re not “different !” They need the social interaction day in and day out; there is no way to replace the socialization factor that school provides! Having them at home all day, not having recess to share with the other children, and feeling like the outcast will be terrible for their self esteem in the long run! And yes, this advice comes from a licensed social worker who has experience with children and this Issue.
What? The leash must not be taut? I was taught that it must be taut! Which is it????
Try baking Geri,the with salsa on top.,. Spicy or mild. Delicious. Even kids love it.,,
Deserts? Did you mean the Gobi desert? The Sahara? Or did you mean DESSERT?
Cholera Chaim in brooklyn would be considered more modern than some other yeshivas.
I’m always surprised when someone speaks for others, yet is completely misinformed on the topic at hand. I happen to know many MO who do indeed go mixed swimming, and go to public beaches as well…
@zahavas dad
When you say the MO may “eat dairy or fish outside the home,”—while I understand what I think you meant to say, I’d imagine others didn’t. Please clarify that you meant they might eat dairy or fish IN A NON KOSHER RESTAURANT!
Word is that the vaad is most machmir from all the other major kashrut agencies which some of them rely on just the Baal Habayit’s word, with almost no regular inspections from the certifying agency. Vaad has regular inspections and doesn’t allow leniency which the other major kashrut agencies do allow. You’d be surprised that the biggest most well known ones are very lax and kashrut violations go unreported because there’s no major over-seeing agency to keep them all straight, that’s why it’s comforting to know Rav Goldberg has stricter standard than the others, so you know he doesn’t allow these stores and catering halls and restaurants to cut corners and get away with violations at all. He’s been known to quickly drop those stores and caterers and restaurants that he catches trying to not conform to his standards, I don’t believe the others do that. They just keep warning them to stop. Meanwhile all of us are reliant on these agencies and c’v eating something improper is a very serious thing and is M’tamtem the Leb.
@Daasyochid
Don’t believe you for a minute. I know the Rav well, and his son who’s in the vaad, he’d never speak that way, he’s humble. Tells people he’d never tell others it’s ok to eat what he himself wouldn’t eat. Better check your behavior and being Motzi Shem ra especially during the 9 days. The vaad is for sure one of the most (if not the most) reliable hechsher out there today, no politics there, no being bought off for money, no dishonesty, just straight up honesty about kashrut.
@apushateyid
How can you say farfel
Is the same price everywhere? People on a budget do need to find the best prices possible and all stores’ prices aren’t equal. I agree KRM is lowest prices.
Shell station or Basic Colors
I think the situation in Israel is horrendous, where parents must buy an apartment for the newlyweds, and if you’re unable to promise that, you can barely get redt shidduchim for your child!
Strauss bakery on 13th ave makes the most outrageous vanilla challah….tastes like sweet rolls…once you try it you’ll never want anything else,
Empty nest prevention? If you have a daughter lose to this new child’s age, how does that help empty nest prevention? If your child is feeling jealous, I’d suggest you carefully monitor your behavior towards the new child, as you must be showering extra attention on her in order to make her feel welcome, while your own child is perhaps being treated in a somewhat less attentive manner.
All I could think of when I saw the first post in this thread is, if after considering the reason for Sefira and why we don’t listen to music, take haircuts, etc., how you can say it’s too difficult for you to abstain from hearing music, is beyond me. Do you really think the sacrifice is too great? Really?
One thing all you people are forgetting. There are no statistics when it comes to Frum people. Hashem tailor makes each jew’s situation, and no studies or statistics are relevant when it comes to what Hashem feels is right for each person.
There’s one very simple answer: too much time one one’s hands.
Hopefully it will expand to other areas of. Tznius. In my area unfortunately the norm has become to wear skirts/dresses above the knee. I wish our women would realize that it is not becoming of royalty like us to lower and degrade ourselves this way, and cause men to sin.
I have had a similar problem with the Myssaf in my Shul….speak to the Rov and be honest about your feelings!
Cong. Mevakshe Hashem doesn’t charge. It’s on Ave K near Nostrand. Rov is Rabbi
Levin.
Everyone is in denial about their own death. Facing it and acknowledging would be too paralyzingly for most people. Ignorance is sometimes bliss,
Anger is the most destructive and a killer of relationships if not worked on and controlled every day.
Do not ever ignore signs of anger in the potential Shidduch. I made that mistake hoping it wasn’t anything serious. But it I’ll only get worse after marriage and lead possibly to abuse. Also notice inconsistencies in the personality, where you can see sometimes a very strong personality and other times a completely different (so etimes child-like) side to the contrary. People who appear stable and even have responsible jobs can be totally unstable on,y in their emotions.
I just think this is one of a number of nisyonos this generation is being put thru. I don’t beleive it’s because of any age disparities or other such nonsense, I think the world has changed in many areas obviously and there are many different nisyonis today that weren’t so prevalent years ago, but I think the running after magic solutions just shows a lack of Emunah. G- d is still the same. Still helping us with our lives, still there for us to reach out to and call out for. That’s the only solution,
No one is asking the wives to take the license plates off. What we are asking them is DO NOT USE THE PLATES TO BREAK THE LAW by parking illegally at No Standing, no parking signs, and not putting money in the muni meters! This is an Aveira and I hope they gets ticketed.they’re taking away spots from real Handicapped people who ad allowed to park there with their legitimate handicapped plates.
