Joseph,
So despite your ceaseless harping that bachurim must be married by no later than 18, actual parents and their Poskim don’t agree with you. It’s time to stop your immature trolling.
Joseph,
Where are you getting your fake numbers from?
This poll shows that over two-thirds of respondents feel that bachurim should not start dating before age 21. It doesn’t reveal anything about when people feel they should be married. Unlike your multiple wives, most people don’t marry the first desperate person they meet after a five minute zoom date.
Are you still claiming to be a self-taught nuclear engineer and chip designer who gives shiurim and answers halachic queries over the phone, when basic reading comprehension and veracity is obviously beyond you?
Mod response –

Shebbes,
Interesting, since NIRC never had an actual gymnasium, just a basketball court.
Menachem,
Very bad comparison. The Chafetz Chaim, zt”l was the undisputed leader of world Jewry and his emphasis on Lashon Hara was first and foremost about these vital halachos which were being ignored.
The Rebbe, zt”l was definitely not the undisputed leader of world Jewry, contrary to Chabad PR and in most areas was considered a daas yachid. Regardless of him mentioning it once or hundreds of times, Hakhel may be a nice Chabad custom and a big “Kiddush Lubavitch” (whatever that means) but it has zero halachic relevance to the rest of us.
With love, please proselytize elsewhere.
ymribiat,
In the prewar Europe of Joseph’s imagination, everyone was extremely frum. All women dressed tzniusdik k’hilchisa from infancy and wore sheitels after getting married at age twelve. All men had full beards, peyos, dressed chasiddish, learned in yeshiva until they were eighteen, then married and spent the rest of their lives learning in kollel.
No Jew had any secular education whatsoever, none had any contact with non-Jews and were certainly not Bundists, Socialists, Communists or heretics.
Joseph should know, he still resides there.
Joseph,
I’m quite aware as Avira explained that the case of Pinchas was very unique. Do you really think that Kanoim Pogim Bo allows killing someone at a pride parade? What does it say about you that Yishai Schlissel is your hero? Do you write to him in jail and organize his fan club?
Joseph,
What Halachic mandate did Yishai Schlissel have to kill and injure people on his knifing rampage? Which Beis Din appointed him to do so? And why do you get so excited when posting about violent behavior?
Joseph,
“Many can make it out based on our understanding of Loshon Kodesh”.
You’ve obviously never actually heard charedim speaking in the streets of Yerushalaim. Your claim of living in Meah Shearim part of the year is yet another figment of your own weird imagination.
Joseph,
“we need to nip it in its bud”? What are you going to do about it, set up checkpoints?
Menachem,
I asked a question with no שנאה intended and was simply informing you that the term does create Elokus doubts and suspicions amongst people. Is there a reason you’re lashing out with anger to another Jew and refuse to answer the question? It seems that whenever certain Chabad followers are asked uncomfortable questions the response always is “everyone hates us so much”.
My handle is intended as a quip in response to that of GadolHadorah. I answered, now it’s your turn.
Joseph,
Are you comparing RIETS to YCT?
Menachem,
Sorry for going off-topic but what is the meaning of the term “Kiddush Lubavitch”? Is it meant to be comparable to a “Kiddush Hashem”? One never hears the words “Kiddush Satmar” or “Kiddush Yeshiva” from those groups. Have Chabad leaders considered how strange it sounds and that this only creates “Elokus” doubts and suspicions?
Common,
Please review the Mishna in Peah. Hachnosas kallah is not one of the things that has no shiur; in davening it’s listed in the second half. As we know, all tzedaka most certainly does have a maximum shiur, of 20%.

coffee,
It’s in Sotah (41a) and refers to Agrippas, grandson of Hurdus.
Joseph,
You’re comparing ending Shabbos earlier than Rabbeinu Tam, which has a source, with what you say is a strict mandate to marry at 18 even nowadays, no exceptions? You just made my point, 18 isn’t the standard in the Yeshiva world. It wasn’t in the Lithuanian yeshivos either.
You claim to live in Meah Shearim part of the year yet your posts indicate that you know nothing about living in Israel. You claim to have three wives yet your comments show that you know nothing about marriage. You make pronouncements about when bachurim should marry but it’s obvious that you know nothing about yeshivos.

Joseph,
The Roshei Yeshiva whose yeshivos are filled with single young men over 18 would bar them if they held of your p’sak. Obviously, they feel that bachurim that young still need to learn for several years before starting to date. Or do you have another explanation as to why they don’t hold of your fatwa?
Joseph,
Why don’t any Rabbonim and Roshei Yeshiva enforce your p’sak?
Joseph,
Where does an 18 year old with no money live, the street? A better question is why aren’t the Rabbanim and Roshei Yeshiva enforcing your p’sak? The Yeshivos are full of single young men that age and higher.
modern,
Why aren’t posting using your real name as you have so many times in the past?
Joseph,
If you had children they would currently say “my parent hits us for any reason and doesn’t think it’s ever excessive”.
Joseph,
So now we know what you so flippantly think of a talmid chacham and successful businessman who hosts one of the most popular Torah forums.
You claim to “dabble in giving Shiurim and answering a Shaila hotline”. Please let everyone know how to access these so that you can be judged. Or is this yet another example of your lame sense of “humour”?
jackk,
Obviously, all of your tireless efforts to promote Brainless Brandon aren’t doing the job. Perhaps if you start doing so 24×6 and post even more lengthy, verbatim, one-sided screed, you’ll convince someone. I highly doubt it but you’ll never know if you don’t try.
Joseph,
Please enlighten us as to how your multiple pretend wives honor their family patriarch in recognition of all that you pretend to do for them and by extension, all of Klal Yisrael?
smerel,
jackk is seething at Elon Musk, who had the nerve to criticize the great economic genius, Brainless Brandon.

Avira,
Instead of criticizing an entire demographic of Orthodox Jews, especially just weeks away from Tisha B’Av, perhaps you should read the CR שנאת חינם thread.
Joseph,
Based on your line of reasoning, we should all be speaking Lashon Hakodesh and certainly not a linguistic hodgepodge from anti-Semitic Germans, Poles and Russians.
I’m sure you’re familiar with what Harav Moshe Feinstein, zt”l wrote regarding the names used in Mitzrayim, that it was a necessary way of distinguishing themselves there since they hadn’t yet received the Torah.
Joseph,
Trouble in paradise with one of your multiple pretend wives?
Joseph,
Why don’t you start a new community in Southern Lebanon and Jordan? The natives would love to have you!
jackk,
I most certainly do but I think it’s hilarious that while Brandon is blaming inflation on Putin, Powell is contradicting him in Congressional testimony.
jackk,
Same as Brandon; absolutely nothing!
jackk,
So you certainly respect Fed Chairman Powell, who in response to a direct question yesterday threw Brandon under the bus and said, “No, inflation was high before the war in Ukraine broke out”.
Dorah,
“Brandon” is nothing compared to the name calling that has become your trademark. I’m really surprised by how tame your post is. Don’t hold back.
Joseph,
Is that how you succeeded in becoming a self-taught nuclear physicist and semiconductor engineer, at least in your own mind?
Huju,
Brandon the Butcher is directly responsible for the nearly 600,000 U.S. COVID deaths that occurred under his watch.
N0,
Iran is one of the world’s most repressive regimes to its own citizens, aside from being a major supporter of terrorism worldwide and actively attempting to acquire a nuclear weapon. They are also supporting the other side of the proxy war in Yemen. The fact that you could even defend them demonstrates incredible naivete on your part, at best.
Saudi Arabia has been slowly implementing reforms and warming in its relationship to Israel, albeit due to their common enemy.
I don’t own a TV but it’s obvious that you’re glued to one based on the incoherent word salad you often spew.

I could care less about Brandon’s TV ratings. You answered questions 1-8 yourself by admitting that he did absolutely nothing. Regarding Iran, they are certainly not “comparatively behaving”. CNN just reported yesterday that they’re closer than ever to a nuclear weapon and they are a threat to the entire world.
Get your head out of the sand and stop defending gross incompetence.
Nothing,
So your measure of the Biden administration fulfilling their role is by doing nothing? Well then, he’s been very successful indeed!
He’s done nothing to control rampant violent crime, nothing on the border invasion, nothing on runaway inflation, nothing on skyrocketing energy prices, nothing to alleviate supply chain issues, nothing to prevent baby formula shortages, nothing to deter Russia’s invasion, nothing to stop the Taliban from conquering Afghanistan, nothing to counter Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
You have the gall to lecture Syag about the Constitution and personal fantasies for wanting to be safe and solvent? Apologists like you are the real social decay that will hopefully be completely excised by the political root canal coming in November.

Joseph,
Living down there in your mother’s basement, you may not realize that livelihood doesn’t come easy. Unfortunately, not everyone can pretend to support themselves as a self-taught nuclear physicist and semiconductor engineer like you do.
Joseph,
“Those wives are the most wholesome, temimusdik, happy, Yorei Shamayim and best mothers.”
The younger, the better, huh? As General Secretary of the Lev Tahor fan club, you’re something of an expert in these matters.
Joseph,
So you’re Moroccan from “a holocaust survivor family” who “lived in the shtetl”?
Joseph,
No, I’m not seriously suggesting that we go back to it without our Gedolim specifically telling us to do so. That would make as much sense as going back to the way they did things in the shtetl without them specifically telling us to do so.
Aseh,
Based on the details provided by the Gemara in Taanis regarding this biannual event, it was how things were normally done and not the exception. Please review it and provide proof otherwise.
Joseph,
Let’s go back even further, to the times of the Beis Hamikdash which believe it or not, were even holier than prewar Europe (gasp!). Girls should go dancing out in the fields and the young men can choose from there.
Joseph,
Fake news.
Harav Yaakov Moshe Kulefsky, zt”l, was drafted into the U.S. Army in August, 1944 at the age of eighteen. Despite learning in yeshiva at the time, he was drafted due to a backlash against those who falsely claimed to be doing so. Instead of refusing to serve or moving to Canada, he walked to the Induction Center in Manhattan on the day he was ordered to do so, which happened to be Shabbos. While he fortunately spent the next eighteen months until his discharge stateside, that wasn’t guaranteed or in his control and he could have just as easily been shipped out to the European or Pacific fronts.
He was not alone and there are plenty of books and articles about other frum boys who were drafted and served honorably, some of whom didn’t make it home.
jackk,
Unfortunately for this country, the democRATS currently control the Executive branch as well as the House and Senate. When will you and bumbling Brandon change out of diapers and put on big-boy pants, instead of blaming his train-wreck presidency on everyone else?

Dorah,
According to CDC statistics, there were 424,292 COVID fatalities in the U.S. as of January 20, 2021. Brandon the Butcher is responsible for almost 600,000 deaths.

I will repeat myself. The treasonous sociopath, Brandon:
– hates all babies and wants to murder them even outside the womb
– hates all mothers so he took formula off the shelves to make them suffer
– hates all females which is why he’s so happy Afghanistan is now run by the Taliban
– hates all women in power so he chose a neighing, horse faced, imbecile VP to make them look bad
– hates law abiding citizens so he opened the border and allows criminals to rape, rob and murder
– hates the U.S. economy and wants everyone to be poor so he created hyper-inflation
– hates everyone who drives so he made fuel costs skyrocket
– hates anyone who purchases anything so he destroyed the U.S. supply chain
– hates peace, freedom and democracy so he allowed Russia to invade Ukraine
– hates all Jews and wants to cause another Holocaust by cutting a worse Iran deal than Obama’s
– hates all who disagree with him so he appointed Nina Goebbels to run the Ministry of Truth
– hates the truth so he always spews bald-faced lies with a smile pasted on his creepy faceThat is the DemocRAT way!
