GadolHadofi

Avira,

Harav Chaim Kanievsky, zt”l certainly didn’t tell anyone they were allowed to cheat on taxes and you must provide written proof before you claim that he approved of doing so. You’re playing with fire when you invent psak in the name of the Gadol Hador.

Joseph,

You have frequently quoted the Satmar Rebbe, zt”l and his opposition to Israel. He was against Jews making aliyah in numbers, i.e., the more than three million who have already done so. So do you really believe that every Jew have a G-d given natural right to live in Eretz Yisroel without anyone else’s permission?

You also insist that the Israeli government is illegitimate and that Dina D’Malchusah does not apply. If that’s the case, surely the Gadol Hador, Harav Chaim Kanievsky, zt”l must have paskened that Jews flaunt Israeli law and not pay taxes, right?

You haven’t mentioned your three wives and eighteen children in quite some time. I hope that means you’re doing better “psychically” and that the medication is helping. Better go answer your mother.

Avira,

The majority of chassidim go into and are wildly successful in business? While some certainly are you need to cite proof for your statement which belies reality.

Joseph,

Jews have a G-d given natural right to live in Eretz Yisroel without anyone else’s permission? Don’t you actually believe that Jews are not allowed to live there in large numbers due to the three shvuos?

Joseph,

Nachman Helbrans forced his sister Miriam to eat techina to which she was highly allergic and she died. If an accusation of cannibalism were made against these animals I would certainly believe it since they’ve proven themselves capable of every monstrosity.

When will you be joining this merry band of your good friends on their continuing world tour?

Avira,

My point exactly. One really knows nothing about the lives and intentions of others, beyond what they can see with limited and often skewed vision. A person must judge and find fault within, not make it a practice to do so with others.

Shlomo,

Lev Tahor’s leaders are evildoers who murder, molest, kidnap and victimize Jews. They just happen to dress like certain Jews do to attract followers but any similarity ends there.

Avira,

So a wealthy person who gives what they are obligated to tzedaka, perhaps even more and lives well, is eating their olam haba? Can you provide a source or is that just your jealousy talking?

Joseph,

Hello, there are plenty of Litvish boys but too many of them are totally incompatible with the girls since they have zero accomplishments in learning, education, work, life choices, etc. If your “common sense” was spot on, these shidduchim would be happening in droves and there would be no need for this post. Girls aren’t desperate enough to abandon their legitimate need for compatibility to marry chassidish any more than they are to marry some total loser.

Joseph,

This may come as a shock but Litvish and Chassidish families don’t just have differing customs, their entire upbringing, mindset and outlook is very different from birth. For example, expecting Litvish girls to adapt themselves to Chassidish restrictions makes such matches unlikely to work. Your numerous posts indicate that you have no problem with girls suddenly being told they can no longer drive, earn a college degree or work in a chosen profession. However, they and their parents would take strong exception to such mandates.

Not to say it never happens, just as marriages occur between Ashkenazim and Sefardim as do those between people from very different communities. But as a wholesale solution, it’s as “pants and skirt” as your insistence that everyone ditch dating in favor of be-shows.

simcha613,

So if “Orthodoxy” roughly translates to “Shomer Torah Umitzvos” than “ethical orthodoxy” roughly translates to “ethical Shomer Torah Umitzvos”? As if one can be Shomer Torah Umitzvos without being ethical according to the Torah? Or do you get your ethics from philosophers such as Kant, Nietzsche, Hegel and Schopenhauer who made Germany into such a paragon of ethical behavior?

Does your “ethical orthodoxy” also exclude those who see observance as including a limited set of Chesed and Ma’asim Tovim but not ritual practices? If your “ethical orthodoxy” automatically excludes those who willfully break the law or knowingly participate in or support fraudulent practices, how do you allow for inclusion of “poshei Yisrael” which is a Torah mandate? Or do you satisfy that itch by slavishly pursuing the “tikkun olam” crowd for inclusion?

It sounds like your little invention is just the same rehash of gripes against Torah Judaism that some are trying to “fix” by redefining kosher as the immigration status and hourly wage of the workers. If that’s the case, then you’re really just “open orthodox”.

Joseph,

So now you’re running away from your childish trolling of age 18?

Please name the widely-followed contemporary Litvish Poskim who say that a bachur must married by 18 and include attributed quotes.

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?

Shebbes,

Interesting, since NIRC never had an actual gymnasium, just a basketball court.

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,

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,

“we need to nip it in its bud”? What are you going to do about it, set up checkpoints?

Joseph,

Are you comparing RIETS to YCT?

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,

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,

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.

Joseph,

If you had children they would currently say “my parent hits us for any reason and doesn’t think it’s ever excessive”.

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.

smerel,

jackk is seething at Elon Musk, who had the nerve to criticize the great economic genius, Brainless Brandon.
