NYTimes.com (sorry, there is NOTHING to replace the Times’ comprehesiveness) and Google News.
I feel like I need to have the last word.
Media Bias
Are there benefits choosing Costco over Sam’s Club or BJ’s — or vice versa?
So what IS the lesson from this maaisa of Avrohom not having looked at Sara?
It probably does not technically qualify under the prohibition of L”H (if no one knows who he is.) Nevertheless, that doesn’t make it okay.
Down the stream
How long does the MTA hold on to found items? What does it do with it afterwards? And how did you find this out (normally they don’t tell people what they found)?
Drei Kup
To set the record straight when mistaken or misleading or worse posts are made, lest the innocent be fooled.
All I know is that chesedname is a bad bad apple…
A Kaliver Rebbe, yes, knows when it is or isnt kosher to use. Chaim Yankel ben Yitzy Lochinkup, does not.

Moq – what is the shearis list? And how do you know it is accurate?
SJS, if you are againt moral laws, you support legalizing completely naked people to walk in front of your house.
And you are hypocritical in your opposition to sibling marriage or child-parent marriage.
The sodomy laws were only overturned in 2003.
And Friedan & co. are responsible for the wholesale destruction of society.
mdd, are you saying a man can’t give up but a women may be able to?
RSRH, you missed fabie’s very poignant point. If you support toeiva marriage, you for the sake of consistency must equally support marriage between a brother and sister. Otherwise you are a hypocrite. And the toeiva marriage lobby does NOT support marriage between brother and sister.
No one’s saying you shouldnt be here when trying to be helpful to Shloimys shver. But how can I be helpful?
What do you do in a shul like Shomer Shabbos or Rav Landau where people are davening SA all over the place all the time even when the minyan isnt.
You could never move.
There is definitly a lot more ruchniyos in NY than anywhere else outside EY. Including more gedolim, in addition to the other ruchniyos there.
BTW, minyanim all the time IS a ruchniyos zach.
Absolutely!
(And LA isn’t even close in either kadosh or secular.)
Levarage other than the children?
Or do you mean they can make a Korbon out of a child.
If the guy would be unemployed otherwise, it does buy him time on the job (assuming he is technically competant for it), until he’s caught. And that’s IF he’s ever caught. But either way, he had a job for X number of years (or months) that he otherwise would not of. And in a big city like NY, unless your a top exec or something like that, no one outside the company will be the wiser.
Awob: Many non Kohanim seek to marry someone fit for a Kohein.
Sjs, you completely missed the point of the post you replied to.
CH: Every sheigitz does porn. What else is new? Check out the reason why Cuomo got divorced. Its a lot worse than that.
And what the media plays up about Paladino, being angry and bombastic, politicians {which Paladino is not} are worse.
And Silver IS a disgrace with his full support of toeiva, abortion-on-demand (incl. third trimester), against yeshiva vouchers, etc.
Paladino will VETO toeiva marriage, if Shelly Silver pushes it through the Assembly, unlike Cuomo.
popa: After verifying her sincerity?
ABSOLUTELY!
My experience has been the opposite.
Pluses are:
Top notch middos
Bas talmid chochom
Good brothers
R. Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (as other Zalman’s) are called up to the Torah as such. That seems to be a better raya than above.
That “sect” is call reform/conservative.
And they are not part of Judaism.
I don’t know the answer to your question, but want to remind that makeup is only for married women (or before a date) for in the home.
yitay – you’re disrespectful tone towards Gedolei Yisroel zt”l is reprehensible. There are appropriate ways to express your lack of comprehension of written daas Torah.
Charlie:
1) by the goyim (who used to treat them as property.) by Klal Yisroel, we always got it right.
2) we can follow what the gedolim say about him (as quoted above.)
Yanky: you’re so-called seichel NEVER takes precedence over S”A. PERIOD.
Really? What “form” of cholent existed in the desert, SJS?
Talmid Bavli was not yet written in the desert. SURELY you will not have it taght to your boys.
Nor did showers yet exist.
WIY: with that attitude I can guarantee that boy will end up with a “beautiful” witch. With a broomstick. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. There is NO subjective “definition” of beautiful. That boy and his parents will get what they deserve. Broomstick at no additional charge. Especially with the primary importance that fool places on physical beauty, so much so that his idiotic parents felt it important enough to make a special trip just to verify her so called beauty. Fools — boy AND parents.
And agreement was made prior to marriage. Who is breaking it? That’s where the fault lies. But that is a technicality. A person has a right to dedicate his life to Limud Torah, especially if so agreed. Why is divorce on the menu here? That is the problem with these fickle people who run to divorce at time of disagreement/trouble. No get is warranted in this case described, no get is entitled to in this case described, and no get ought to be granted to a parties demand for one.
pba: hiding ones issue whether the issue is toenail fungus or anxiety?
Moq, the prenup you describe has been innovated already by the MO, and rejected by the gedolim shlita.
Elbows and above are halachic pritzus. End of discussion.
A wife accepts her husband’s minhugim and chumros with marriage.
If you could only save one person – either save Reuvein from drinking poison, thus saving his guf, OR save Dina’s neshomo from her wearing a lifetime of short skirts, UNQUESTIONABLY better to save her neshomo than his guf.
Even if she wouldn’t be wise enough to appreciate that.
Moq, I agree with you. But that doesn’t resolve the catch-22 I described. How will you convince frum society to utilize psychologists and therapists when required for a young single, when they know one result will be greatly reduced shidduch prospects as a result of such therapy?
The only solution to the above catch-22 I can think of is to have these singles go for therapy but not tell a future shidduch potential (or anyone for that matter) that they had therapy. Effectively to deny it. And rely on doctor-client privilege to keep it under wraps. And then get married when the therapist feels s/he is okay to.
The alternative to that idea is that the single will skip all therapy, then be able to honestly say they never had therapy, and get married untreated with their mental-health problem unresolved.
If people will insist they must tell their shidduch they had therapy, the net result will be they wont go for therapy and get married without the needed therapy.
CC: do you daven in your yeshiva or a shteeble or what type of minyan?
Moq, therein lies the catch-22. A young bochur or girl who needs therapy prior to marriage is between a rock and a hard place. They can either get the needed therapy – and hence ruin their shidduch prospects (as at that point they cant lie about him/her not getting therapy). OR they can forgo the therapy, and cross their fingers and hope the marriage works out for the best. Many if not most choose the latter, rather than ruin their shidduch prospects.
