Well said Menachem and tomim.
Another meshugas is the expectation of love before marriage.
What should someone do if they are in a hotel for Shabbos that only has a electronic keycard?
Bnei Torah who are Yeshivish, wear a necktie on Shabbos and not during the week.
ZeesKite: +1. You’ve said all that needs to be said about her.
The only job I got after graduating Yale with my degree in Philosophy, was flipping burgers in KD.
As much as yishuv may be a mitzvah today, even according to opinions it is, it doesn’t nullify or even reduce the obligations to complete as best possible the 613 mitzvos in the Torah and m’drabbanons. If by moving to EY you will be unable to fulfill, or even if your ability to complete other mitzvos is lessened, far better to live in chutz l’aaretz and be better able to complete the many other mitzvos.
Mein Kamp is also “very well written” in the original German.
Hmmm… So now not enlisting in the US Military or providing financial support to United Way is eiva too.
If BD today was capable of enforcing this, I think you would find a lot more halachic compliance amongst the general populace. Not so much because of actual enforcement actions carried out by BD, as much as the mere knowledge of their powers.
There IS an official police report that the JW obtained via FOIA, and the report had very substantial differences with Feldman’s claims on this incident in her dirty book. One (of many) example is Feldman claimed the father castrated and killed his son, while the boy was never castrated.
Cherrybim, your point is a valid one. Realize, though, that the very same principle applied to a New Yorker (to take an example) moving West – even within the US, to a distant State – leaving his parents behind and forfeiting so many opportunities for Kibud Av VEim.
I agree with you that going to Sem in EY is a meshugas. But Yeshiva’s there learn a lot better than here.
No one cited any sources that argue on the OP’s source. The only other sources mentioned were Rambam and S”A in support of the OP’s Gemorah.
Yiddish is the most common language two Jews from different countries, with different native languages, can communicate with each other in.
How do Gerrers in EY speak Yiddish differently than Satmar chasidim in EY or differently than Gerrers in the US for that matter?
Sam: I dont know about Israel, but ANYWHERE outside Israel JEWS are NOT discriminated against as a group regardless of how low their donor rates are. In fact, no one even knows what the Jewish rate is, since stats and records are not kept by religion. So there is NO EIVA.
The Chofetz Chaim certainly did.
Because the lingua “franca” is obviously French. OTOH, Yiddish is the lingua “yiddishkeit”.
mamash: It is from Hungarian government statistics cited in press. I don’t have the original source handy.
Tens of thousands of Israelis descending from Hungarian blood have applied for, and received, Hungarian Passports. The same is happening in the Embassies of other European countries in Tel Aviv.
Very well put, Great Bear.
Very well said Gatesheader.
Term Life Insurance is generally dirt cheap and is all you need.
lesschumras, how is it in other topics you get all righteous when folks criticize MO or YU. Yet here you are okay with criticism?
In any event, she criticized Judaism itself and its holy practices in a vile despicable untruthful manner. If someone criticized Rabbi Yoshe B. Soloveitchek and the way he practiced Judaism, would you be okay with that and now be writing that R. Soloveitchek doesn’t equal Torah?
Chasidisha Gatesheader: What other paths to non-citizen permanent residency is there other than ARLI (and how do they differ)?
@cantoresq: The story in the OP is not fantastic and is more reasonable and believable than the claim that you got married in the month of May. (And I do not doubt your claim.)
Do permanent residents of Israel, who are not citizens of Israel, have any Army service obligations? Are they any different than the obligations of citizens?
@cantoresq: My point is, that based on your own argument, if (for example) you ever claimed to be married, it is a myth. And you aren’t married. Since it isn’t a falsifiable claim considering the lack of your name, wife’s name, etc.
Does that make any sense to you? You aren’t married because it isn’t “falsifiable”?
PBA and Sam: Outside Israel (ie in the US) there is no statistics or record keeping of donors vs. non-donors based on religion. So no one would be the wiser if we are on donors lists in Chutz. And certainly no one would retaliate.
Both Rambam and I believe Shulchan Aruch too bring it as halacha l’maisa that Beis Din can beat someone.
The US has a green card/permanent residency status that does not include citizenship. Perhaps Israel has similar.
Don’t officially declare yourself to have decided to live there permanently. How will they convey citizenship upon you without your consent. And there are Arabs who have always been living in Israel (including in the non-PA areas and including before the PA even existed) that never became, and aren’t, Israeli citizens. I don’t see any reason anyone would be compelled to become a citizen.
cantoresq: everything you post is a myth unless falsifiable, by your own argument.
Doson and Aviram were also Jews. Who knows what they went through to make them like that. None of us experianced their lives.
In Europe, beis din sometimes utilzed this halacha.
