Q: ItcheSrulik: Why have you “dropped” yeshivish pronunciations?
A: Secondarily, it also identifies me as part of a community to which I no longer belong.
Since you personally take action to insure your communal affiliation is properly broadcast, surely you agree that members of yeshivish communities ought to wear a hat and jacket to (like yourself in your situation) identify as a part of the yeshiva community, correct?
BTW, What convinces you that the “choylem” is “wrong”? I’m also curious as to why do you “no longer belong” with the yeshivish community?
I have found it much easier (relaxing and enjoyable if such words could be used to describe a commute) to sit next to non jewish females than males of any religion.
apushatayid:
Why do you find it more comfortable to sit next to gentile females than next to gentile males?
cherrybim:
Are you opposed to an employee opening a business in the same industry or opposed to stealing his former employers customer list? While the latter is wrong by anyone’s definition (and very rare in the frum community — even more so than outside) the former is quite common anywhere and nothing wrong with someone going into business on his own.
Michael Bloomberg is one such example. He worked for Merril Lynch before starting Bloomber L.P. Are you angry at him for competing with Merril after working there and Merril giving Bloomberg his industry knowledge? How is Bloomberg (and all the many like him) any different than what you complain of (assuming that is what you take issue with)?
bpt – How does your “geshtel” broadcast married?
My apologies…
I think he was joking too.
ItcheSrulik: Why have you “dropped” yeshivish pronunciations? Where does your name Itche Srulik come from (sounds Chasidic)? And what is your “very mixed background”?

I would.
Are you Teimeni? I think they marry more than one wife (and I believe I’ve seen you post that you are married already.)

Is there an age gap problem in the Sephardic community? If not, maybe the Sephardic boys should marry Ashkenazi girls to help even things out.
Even if there is no age gap, their numbers may be even and they have no “excess” boys.
My family calls me the quality control police anytime I tell them to eat quietly.
Eating without manners is rude. It is equally rude to tell someone else to eat quietly.
aries, They would be an Onen until the end of the Chasuna, but not for the week of Sheva Brochos (which is what mischiefmaker seems to be referencing.)
s2021, That’s an interesting observation that you’d feel uncomfortable next to a Jewish guy, but not so much next to a non-Jewish guy. I think the issurim between a Jewish male and female are greater than between a non-Jewish male and Jewish female. Perhaps this sensitivity is a result of that.
Some people may find burping to be gentle too.
That’s exactly what everyone has been saying. Guys shouldn’t go because of that.
I think that scenario is very rare.
I think BHI is run by the same fellow as the NASI project.
Why do you mention that point?
Get him a plain MP3 player. Not an iPod.
Health – I take strong exception to the thought that two working spouses increases Shalom Bayis!
In America right now most couples are forced to work to provide for their families, why are Frum Jews different?
Jews are supposed to be different. We never should go by how “most” people in society do things.
It sounds as if the correct translation of ???? should be “greetings” rather than “regards”.
If you take a short break from learning to freshen up to be able to learn better, the 15 minutes is credited to you as if you learnt. Same when you sleep at night. You get credit for the sleep since you did so to learn better the next day.
Sean, and if he resets to factory settings are parents constantly checking it to notice that occurred? And if they do and the child excuses it with a lame excuse (i.e. it stopped working properly), will all the parents take it away? And if they do, what about the irreversible danger that occurred until then?
How has it changed? What did it have in the past, and how is it now? How is it different than here?
Why do some people believe everything that pops up in their inbox? It keeps those Nigerians in business.
The better question is how quickly can a tech savvy kid (like so many are or have friends that are) beat or even remove any or all of the above restrictions?
Even if the parent can determine ex post facto that the kid messed around with the settings, who knows what terrible dangers the kid already exposed him or herself to. And then they may be able to cover their tracks (i.e. resetting what they disabled or reinstalling what they removed) altogether, and the less tech savvy parent may never even know.

What DBMS (Oracle, Sybase, etc.) are you trained with?
The author of the letter to Mishpacha insists that frum people should work for him for a lesser salary than they seek?
commonsense: They become adults at 13 regardless of their shirt. And you don’t have to be an adult to wear a white shirt. It’s mentchlich either way.
why should i go to a concert and not sit with my husband. I look forward to them and so does he.
Do you also look forward to sitting next to the guy on your other side?
Those who made smug comments above about not living in Brooklyn, could at least express regret for their contempt.
I did specify which one in my comment. I’m sure the Rebbetzin was referring to same. Obviously the other direction is a chiyuv, like you said.
Congratulations. The Republicans just won the fight in Wisconsin. The State Senate passed the bill ending collective bargaining without the Democrats coming back, after they were given 3 weeks to return and failed to do so.
Now they are in the process of collecting signatures to recall 8 Senate Democrats who collected a paycheck while refusing to work in the job they were elected to. If anyone else went AWOL from their job, they would be fired. These Democrats too should be fired with a recall.
Whatever the case, I heard a shiur from a famed speaker who thought that infidelity is not a reason to break up a family!
The Rebbetzin is 100% correct. It may be considered in pop culture and in the gentile world the utmost reason for her to demand a divorce, and that idea unfortunately may have seeped in to some quarters, but that doesn’t make it the case.
Dieting.
Being jealous of someone’s Torah is an example of a “good jealousy”.
Satmar probably doesn’t need a uniform, as the girls b”h wont be dressing all over the map in the first place.
Boys don’t need a uniform, as there b”h isn’t much variance in dress between them in the first place.
Can someone please transcribe the letter from Mishpacha here?
Many firms rather hire a Goy instead of a Yid because THEY ARE TOO CHEAP to pay the going rate!!!
If they can find someone below the “going rate”, why should they hire someone more expensive?
Its a mitzvah for a man to divorce his wife if thats what she really wants.
That is not necessarily so. The Torah has guidelines when she can demand one and when she cannot demand one. She cannot simply demand one “if thats what she really wants”, but it is not one of the Torah’s guidelines to so demand.
The union thugs have been getting away with murder for too long. These are the same thugs that not too long ago would break the legs of workers crossing picket lines. The same unions that force government workers to join unions against their will. And if they refuse, force non-union workers to pay the union fees and dues.
Then they use their political leverage to get far more benefits than the private sector in addition to competitive or better actual wages.
Not too many heimish folks will accept a $10 an hour job.
Not to directly compare, but it can also be a mitzvah to execute someone. Being a mitzvah doesn’t necessarily entail it being something fantastic.
Outside of Brooklyn. Which gives me the right to sneer and look down at anyone in Brooklyn. Else why would I not live there? And what would else would I mock? Living together with the 10 other Jews in my town makes me feel bigger. After all, in the Jewish world there is Brooklyn and there is elsewhere.
Happily ever after may not be as interesting, but is certainly a better option than unhappily ever after, as your suggested ending generally leads to.
Breastfeeding is the healthiest.
How can a frum magazine glorify divorce as just another happenstance even in fantasy, let alone in reality.
