Gadolhadorah

Lakewhut: You have your Purim spiels confused. If the Dems “do it to Israel in every cycle” as you claim, there would be at least several “Palestinian States” surrounding EY. I just checked Google Maps and they say it ain’t so and as you know, the internet is never wrong.

UJM: “A child is obligated to follow his father’s minhagim…”

So if we watch a closed circuit video feed of the pre-K, the little bochur pulling the hair of the little meydlach and screaming at them to go back to the varbeshe section of the playground is named Yosef Jr??

“He can’t throw Israel under the bus because Biden already did it.,,”

So Biden has sent EY billions of dollars since October 7th (above the billions we already were sending in foreign aid, military assistance etc) and has also been supportive of the IDF’s military operations and opposing cease fire demands at the UN and domestically to the point of risking his reelection chances but he has “thrown Israel under the bus”??? What parallel universe do you live in??
Yes, he has pushed back against some of the extreme rhetoric on the Israeli right and tried to expand humanitarian relief but many of those same demands are now being voiced by both Republicans and Democrats.
Go on Gab or Truth Social and read some of the vile anti-Israel posts from some of Trumps’ America First MAGA supporters who don’t want the U.S. to keep sending money to Israel.

Under the Alabama Court decision, IVF would be financially prohibitive if a woman had to pay for “perpetual storage” for any embryos that were not successfully implanted since destruction of a frozen embryo could be deemed as homicide. Likewise, a lab tech who accidentally dropped the container holding the embryo or who shut off the power supply to the cryogenic storage chamber would also be subject to an involuntary manslaughter charge.

A new market entrant that forced some of the incumbents to reduce their profit margins would benefit everyone (except the incumbents). If it meant that the least efficient operators could not survive, thats really the way markets work. There would still be multiple options for shoppers and the overall price levels would be lower than current levels. While there are many products that are readily available in goiyeshe markets like Costco and Shoprite, the majority of shoppers still need to make most of their fresh meat, fish and some produce purchases at market-owned by yidden with hashgacha.

A great reminder of how fortunate we are to live in the U.S. where all of our political candidates are such ehrliche menschen and we can’t go wrong no matter who we vote for.

In 2022, the United States had a maternal mortality rate of approximately 24 deaths per 100,000 live births That same year, Alabama had a maternal mortality rate of approximately 37 deaths per 100,000 live births ….more than 50% higher than the national average. These vile excuses for legislators and judges who enact and adjudicate these laws obviously have a higher regard for protecting some frozen embryos than real women whose health care ranks 48 out of the 50 on just about all relevant metrics.

For those of you who think its funny trolling about spousal abuse, perhaps grow up and stop demonstrating your ignorance and immaturity.

Over 20 years, that adds-up to $5 BILLION DOLLARS!!!! Think about that for just half-a-minute…

Think of how many billions of dollars yidden have spent each year running off to Uman for Rosh Hashanah. For those who have the money, its a decision they can make without the need for prior approval from the CR nudniks.

Get-r-dun

With all respect, you are not an especially good troll. The CR is privileged to have a world class misogynist in Reb Yosef (aka UJM). Perhaps study his technique and style and try again after you have refined your skills.

And what is YOUR long-term strategy for governing Gaza w/o engaging in some fantasy about expelling 2+ million Gazans to Arab countries that won’t take them or requiring tens of thousands of IDF troops to become a permanent occupation army? I’m sure Bibi would greatly appreciate your advice as to what he should do in several months from now.

Kuvalt: You forgot to consider have the mug shot of R’ Yosef put on $2 bills which have traditionally been synonymous with integrity and traditional values. What greater kovod could a CR poster be endowed with than to have his admirers proudly say that he has a much credibility as a $2 bill”.

Our masorah over thousands of years clearly leans towards men taking a more lead role in both family and public affairs. However, that has evolved over times in accordance with daas torah such that today, women are pursuing roles in medicine, science, technology, law and even politics. Some of the gadolim of our time have been treated by medical teams that include both men and women when their lives were at risk. The MKs from the religious parties sit in the Knesset with women aligned in their coalition . All of this is done with recognition of tzinius and common sense. Even in the most conservative segments of the Chareidi tzibur, women no long feel a need to obtain permission form their husbands to “leave the house”. While daas torah is timeless, its also fair to say that the “times have changed’.

“How is this relevant at all and what purpose does it have here other than to breed negativity for your entertainment?”

Thats the point. Its been a while since R’ Yosef had a legitimate opportunity to display his core misogynistic beliefs wrapped around some bizarre invocation of daas torah so give him some latitude to make a fool of himself.

“I watched a dolphin show and they prefer raw herring…”

Only partially true in relation to Atlantic dolphins. Pacific dolphins universally prefer Matjes w/o onionsl

What if a tree falls in the forest and nobody’s there to hear it? Well, we all know the tree will make a “sound”, even if nobody heard it, simply because it COULD have been heard.

Likewise, all the silly, solemn, scholarly and occasional scintillating messages you shared with us over a decade were not “lost” because at the moment in time you posted we could have read them, as many of us did, and they had an affect on us, most of the time for the better (in between the occasional “500 Internal Server Error”)

“if you go from Lakewood to Monsey, you’d pass through Bergen County? You’ll probably see many more srugies than streimlach there”

If you give the Monsey Trails driver a good tip, he will guarantee you won’t see a single kipah srugah or Borselino from the time you board at the Swifty Gas Station in Lakewood to arrival in Monsey. You will also get a great scenic tour of Delaware, Western Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Western New York.

Why spoil a good piece of herring with phony cream sauce that adds calories and fat….make your own with freshly brined herring, a good white wine vinegar, allspice, peppercorns, bay leaves and as much sugar as you like (doubled for Ungarishe yidden). Serve on a dark Russian pumpernickel with thinly sliced onions

Simpler and “old school” doesn’t necessarily mean better. There are lots of “new” restaurants in the NY metro area and other larger cities around the country with both good hashgacha, good food, and reasonable prices. Several months ago I had dinner at a well known kosher restaurant near the U.N where a burger was $55 and the schnitzel was $88. The quality was OK but you can get the same at half the price elsewhere if you don’t expense the tab. My point being that too many “old school” venues are simply tired, not well-maintained, haven’t updated their menus with healthier options and make you feel like they are doing you a favor for serving you.

Netanyahu has repeatedly said that having Yidden living in Gaza would require an enormous diversion of security forces from the West Bank and northern border areas with Lebanon and Syria.

If EITHER party in a shiduch goes into the marriage feeling disappointed that they had to “settle” for the physical attributes of their future spouse, its not a good siman of their future success. Of course, feelings may change but obviously much better to begin a marriage with a sense of excitement and enthusiasm about the person you will spend your life with and raise a family.

One needs to take a certain degree of responsibility for one’s own physical well being, including nutrition and exercise. The inyan of “ushamartem es nafshosechem” is not some abstract prescription to make personal health decisions based on the state of scientific knowledge regarding nutritional links to disease a thousand years ago.

“This “update” is a bug, not a feature….”

I’m not a social media entomologist, but this “BUG” is a monster since it has eaten most of the functionality of the old CR and is crawling its way towards the news site.

“How dare you write they “were mistaken in their novel ideologies”

Easy. We can have great respect for the daas torah of rabbonim from a wide range of hashkafos and can simultaneously disagree with the path they prescribe for their chassidim relative to the path we follow based on guidance from our own Rav. If you follow a Litvish hashkafah or even a Chassid from a different Chassidus, you don’t need to run to the Ohel to beg mechilah if you don’t agree with certain Chabad practices.

When I click on “UJM”, it says “he cannot be found”.

Is he is out searching for No. 4 or did Nos.1-3 make hefker?
