CTL: Was your property in FL in the path of Hurricane Irma?
GH: There is no logical nexus except that the Shulchan Aruch mentions (quoting the Kol Bo) that for the Yomim Noraim it is preferable. (581:1 and Mishna Berurah sif koton Yud Gimmel)

And yes, all things being equal one should choose a talmud chachom who is not married. But to this kehilla having someone married is important to them.
Wolf: While halachlically there is no restriction, the individual tzibbur may have a reason why they are requesting only married men apply. They have every right to make that a requirement for the position.
I am not sure what ad you are referring to. Was it a full time position or for the yomim noraim? While it is preferable for the Yomim Noraim it is not required. However, the shul can be makpid on only having a married person apply. I would think they will interview those applying for the position and ask about the other areas that you mentioned.
From what I know of, it is not common.
CTL: I hope the South Compound has internet access so you can continue to post.
If you normally travel the New York subway system, then you know how to sit without using the armrest.
What if they are quoting from sources like……the Yated, Hamodia, Mishpacha, Binah?
There is a Wikipedia page about him.
One of the Roshei Yeshiva of Telz before WWII.
I forgot to add: It’s called the “ring” finger not a “wedding ring” or “engagement ring” finger.
It was never an issue. It’s NORMAL.
RofC: Don’t dish it out if you can’t take the return heat.
LB: Sorry but your analogy is incorrect. The ticket won the election in 2016. Once that happened it could not be reversed. Engagements can be broken.
I can’t enter my office building without ID. Why can’t it be required to vote?
Some of the mysteries in life should remain just that….mysteries.
From all the reports of anti-semitism in the UK, you ask those who live in the US about being scared? I try to imagine being in the UK when a car is used as a weapon and the police don’t even have a gun to shoot to try and stop it.
Please let us know how your vacation in Jordan and Lebanon turns out.
With everything that happened in the yiddeshehvelt the past two weeks……WHO CARES?
Joseph: “both income taxes *and* property taxes. $10k should be sufficient to cover most middle class homeowners”. How about those in Nassau County or Monsey whose property tax alone is >$10,000?
Neville Chamberlin: As of December 2016, KJ was the poorest area in NYS.
Not only did Kiryas Joel have one of the lowest-incomes in our state, it also came in as having the lowest per capita income out of any other location in America with a population of over 10,000 residents. The community is mostly made up of Hassidic Jews out in Orange County, with the average resident making only $4, 355 per year.
In 2014, 93% of KJ was on Medicaid (medical coverage for poor people). (Orange County Department of Social Services)
What language is it?
binyanadead: You wrote: The Olas Shmuel states that if women light, they make a bracha like by all other mitzvos that they perform (funny that this needs to be said).
Not really since the minhag of the sefardim is that women do not make a brocha on a mitzvas asay shehazman grama unless af heim boso haneis.
Binyanadead: Since when are the mitzvos of Purim medeoraisa? Yes, many mitzvos asay shehazman grama are set aside due to AF HEIM B’OSO HANEIS. However, chanuka menoros are slightly different because of how we practice NER ISH U’BEISO. Many women (not all) do not light. We let our daughters decide what they wanted to do since in my wife’s family the women did not light.
According to the Chabad website, they do not have any shiluchim in either Jordan or Lebanon.
yy: We live in the E. 30’s, most of my neighbor’s drive to Moisha’s and have their purchases delivered as they don’t want to shlep 30 bags and instead choose to have Moisha’s deliver the 5 -8 boxes. This is the norm not the exception. Most people do not shop locally. They go to the store with the cheapest prices.
do you now have a ten-shin headache? of just suffering from atten-shin abundance disorder?
yehudayona: Brooklyn stores all have home delivery but not for the reason you state (just go to Moisha’s, KRM, Pomegranate) and see the full parking lots. Stores have home delivery as people do not only shop in one store. My wife shops on Sunday as she does other shopping while I am at home waiting for the delivery.
Did we jump right from chanukah to purim?
In Brooklyn, it depends. If you have a large family and need to travel often (e.g. pediatrician office not close to public transportation, supermarkets not near your house/apartment) then having a car may be cost effective. I personally know somebody (family of three) who does without a car but lives near Ave J and shops in Pomegranate. She uses public transportation while her husband often rides a bicycle.
“would not be caught dead seen using the English Artscroll”
Are you referring to chachamim here in the US or EY? The chachmim in the US may not need the English version and fell more comfortable with the Hebrew version. Don’t try to denigrate them with such an outlandish comment when those like R’ Dovid Feinstein have been quoted as saying that there is nothing wrong with looking at the ArtScroll elucidation for poshut pshat and then breaking your head on RASHI and TOSFOS.
Please remember that it was the gedolim of the previous generation (including R’ Yaakov Kaminetsky TZATZAL and R’ Mordechai Gifter TZATZAL) that guided and encouraged R’ Meir Zlotowitz TZTZAL an YBLCH R’ Nosson Scherman to produce the English version.
and what if there is a blackout?
Joseph: Suki and Ding split up and the “original” Uncle Moishy split from them. From what I understand either Suki or Ding holds the rights to the Uncle Moishy “name” and therefore they can market a “new” Uncle Moishy that is not related to the original “Uncle Moishy”.
Do we ever know if someone completed his or her mission?
We don’t know for sure since we say in Unesaneh Tokef: מִי בְקִצּוֹ וּמִי לא בְקִצּוֹ (who in his time and who not in his time)
I didn’t hear that R’ Chaim qualified his statement in any way. It has been reported that R’ Gershon Eidelstein has issued a psak that mesibos don’t have to be cancelled but should be toned down (no music).
ZD: I am not sure why you say that. Gedolei Hador can live anywhere.
Gaon: R’ Tzvi Pesach frank was niftar almost two years before R’ Ahoron TZATZAL.
ZD: I slightly disagree with your equating the “gadol hador” with the “poseik hador”. R’ Aharon Kotler TZATZAL was acknowledge as the Gadol Hador and he referred to R’ Moshe Feinstein TZATZAL as the Poseik Hador. It was only after R’ Aharon’s petirah in 1962 that R’ Moshe accepted upon himself many of R’ Aharon’s responsibilities that he became acknowledged as the gadol hador. At that time the leading poskim in EY were R’ Shlomo Zalman Auerbach TZATZAL and R’ Eliyashiv TZATZAL.
R’ Elchonon Wasserman HYD was known to say “every bullet has it’s address”. At this time there is little difference. A few years ago when the terror attacks were concentrated on the buses, the answer may have been different.
Chabadshlucha: R’ Shmuel may be one of the gedolei hador but “hamon am” does not view him as the “gadol hador” like they view R’ Chaim.
When this thread was started, Moore had one the runoff for the Republican nomination. It was not for the election yesterday. The threads are dated so you can tell when it was started.
We are so worried what the “velt” thinks. You want to take a walk? Who cares what anyone else thinks. As a parent of a number of children in shidduchim I see no problem with this.
It is more difficult to erase things that people already saw then moderate going in. I prefer the moderation method.
Quoting the Chafetz Chayim: To those who believe there are no questions; to those who don’t there are no answers.
joseph: The moderators are friendly; some of the posters though……
As I said it depends. Are you offering snacks? Lunch? If the children are in diapers who supplies them? are you doing arts n crafts projects? Factor in extra expenses – lights on all day, water (if you have a water meter), extra heat and air conditioning. What sort of income range are you looking for?
No offense but why are you asking the question almost 6 years after the comment was written?
Does it require any licensing? Depends where you live. You also have to know if you will have neighbors report you if licensing is required and you don’t follow all the rules.
How complicated is it to start offering neighbors to bring their children to our home to be babysat while the parent is working? It’s not that complicated but there are factors that one needs to consider. Is someone else already providing this service with a 1/2 mile radius? What ages will you baby sit for? Do you have the physical room for it?
What is the typical hourly or weekly rate charged for such a service? Depends on the neighborhood. Suburbs would probably be a higher rate.
Can a decent income be made from a babysitting / daycare service out of your home? Again, it depends on what you mean by “decent income”.
We didn’t force the issue and most of my children were trained between the ages of 2.5 yoa to 3 yoa. The latest as 3 years and 1 month.
We recently bought items from Macy’s then from Kohl’s as they had more items on sale. Overall, probably Amazon.
Did you see anyone telling him to put down his sign?
Since I shop online I have found little difference between them. I generally buy the item I want at the best price. The return policy is not the first criteria that I examine before making a purchase.
