probably the same way we mourn other non jewish former world leaders.
Even if it’s urgent I have never heard of it…sorry
rav soliveitchik said mutar, rav hutner said assur.
joseph…..its probably the first time you have the correct answer so it is being repeated
Yes we have seperate dish racks as did my parents and grandparents.We have no “strategy” fleishigs is washed in the fleishigs sink, milchigs in the milchig sink put in proper rack and let dry. then use a towel for whatever droplets are eft on the dishes glasses or utensils.
ctl: that was a gang related rubout not some dreanged person shooting at random targets
Reb yaakov Bender referred to these yidden by the same term. https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/general/1613754/watch-rav-yaakov-bender-on-the-pittsburgh-massacre.html
Most people I know present the gift Erev Shabbos upon arriving at the hosts house or apartments am not sure why a text or email is not appropriate. I personally would not be offended by a text or email
Joseph: And what about in Europe where the boy traveled to the girls town?
Avi K: Which according to a prosecutor I work with brings it down to a “B”. Still did not justify a $1,000,000 bail for a first time offender.
Avi K: I work in the criminal justice system. However, we always go through the Supreme Court as we deal with felony prosecutions. As to your other question above about the 19 yea old, he was charged with a Class B felony, not a Class A.
Avi K: A 19 year old with a clean record was charged with attempted kidnapping. His family was without means. His original bail was $100,000 and at that point had not missed any of his court appearances (one of the reasons for bail in the first place). The prosecutor asked for the bail to remain at the $100,000 and the judge upped it to $1,000,000.
BTW, Supreme Court in NYS is Criminal Court.
The original charges had a hate crime and it was dropped. Please don’t tell me a person with 8 prior arrests should be treated leniently even if only charged with misdemeanors for his current arrest.
What has the minyan been using until now?
10 years ago we chastised another judge for setting a $1,000,000 bail on a member of our community for a first offense and well over the amount wanted by the DA. A person who has been arrested 8 times previously and was filmed beating a another human being (for no reason) should have had a higher bail set. Judge Freier (IMO) was afraid that she would have been questioned as she is from the same community as the victim.
coffee addict: Have you ever visited Pinter’s in Boro Park? All the seforim on the tables outside for $5 or less? Does that mean that they don’t consider it chashiv? Maybe this person bought it for less then list price and is not looking to profit greatly.
borninthebronx: none of your questions are answered by the documentation on the zman technologies website. call them directly,
3G networks are being phased out causing a switch to smartphones.
What brand of fridge and do you have the Zeman Technology timer?
Years ago it was very common not to wear taleisim in a visible manner. Many people wore an over coat or in hot weather wore the talis under their jacket. I once heard a drasha from R’ Yechiel Perr, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva of Far Rockaway who explained that wearing a talis in a visible way in the street might have caused an anti-Semitic response. I think he quoted R’ Yaakov that it was proper no to wear the talis openly.
Media Bias.
I would suggest calling a store like “The Buzz”. They probably have up to date information. The Star-K has an old article about shavers so you may want to call them.
Joseph: By now yes, but not all jews moved out of Canarsie. There was still a small number of people still living in Canarsie. Also in some communities, businesses owned by yidden (especially nursing homes that are still kosher despite havng only non-jewish residents) still have minyanim for the workers.
Joseph: You are partially correct. He wants to know why we don’t talk about the LA eruv. So first we have to know if it was established prior to March of 1986.
Neville: When was the LA eruv established? The eruv in Brooklyn was controversial from day 1 (either in 1978 or 1979) due to R’ Moshe’s psak. Yes, there were other poskim who argued with R’ Moshe (the Debrecener for one) while others agreed with him (notably Rabbi Bick). The yeshiva olam generally followed R’ Moshe and did not use the eruv while others did not follow R’ Moshe’ psak and used the eruv. In addition, I can personally attest that there was those in my shul who did not verify before shabbos that the eruv was up and came to shul shabbos morning carrying something only to see the “red flag” that the eruv was down.
marbeshalom: What makes you believe that all the jews moved out of Canarsie?
Joseph: As I have said a number of times I HEARD it from Rabbi Hillel David in R’ Moshe’s name back in 1979.
youdontsay: Yes I understand R’ Moshe’s psak regarding 3 million people in a 12 mil by 12 mil area. That is why the question was asked in 1979 as to why should Queens and Brooklyn be treated differently. Brooklyn has approximately 69.5 mi of land area and Queens has 108.2 mi. Total population in Queens was slightly less than Brooklyn. So why was the entire Brooklyn used cover a 12 mil by 12 mil area but Queens not? I heard from Rav Hillel David the response I gave above as he conferred numerous times with R’ Moshe as he is now and was then one of the noted poskim in Flatbush during the eruv controversy in the late seventies. You don’t want to believe it, fine. I know what I heard from him.
Gaon: I don’t remember you being in the room when Reb Hillel David told this to me. As you may know, not every psak made it to the igros Moshe. Just because you never heard it doesn’t mean an oral interpretation was not given. As an example it doesn’t state in the Igros Moshe that a vegetable peeler can be used on Shabbos but Reb S.B. Cohen in his sefer the Shabbos kitchen page 104 quotes R’ Reuvain that his father held it is a knife. We do know that not every psak is written in the igros Moshe. Rabbi Ribiat says the same thing in his footnote that he has heard that R Moshe says you can use the peeler but it is not in the Igros Moshe.
Joseph: I heard it from Harav Hillel David when the same question was asked in 1979. I do not know if R’ Moshe wrote it or it was just an oral explanation.
R’ Moshe held Queens is different then Brooklyn as the neighborhoods are clearly defined as recognized by the US Postal Service. When you address a letter to a Queens address it is not to Queens NY but to an individual neighborhood (i.e. Forest Hills, Flushing) whereas you address a letter to Brooklyn, NY (not Flatbush or Boro Park.
Joseph: this is what was told to me 35+ years ago during the initial controversy. Besides the census figures of residents counted by the census, an estimate of people living in Brooklyn who were not counted bu the census. Remember the last census prior to the eiruv question was in 1970; the eruv question was in 1978 so they to account for people who moved to Brooklyn (legally and illegally) after 1970.
joseph: as was explained to me R’ Moshe included both the legal residents and the illegal aliens in the population count hence the need for an estimate of the illegal alien count.
Gaon: I am still not sure why this thread from almost 2 years ago was bumped but I wrote what was explained to me by Rabbi Hillel David. He also told me that unlike Warsaw, R’ Moshe was told that the population in Brooklyn was over 3 million people (this was the estimate in 1979) and he held that it was possible that 1/5 th of the population was in the streets at all times and therefore was a reshuffling harabim doraiso.
The muni meters on Ave J near Nostrand Avenue were recently changed and say on the display $1.25 for 60 minutes. The street signs have not been updated. According to the NYC dot gov website the increases went into effect in Brooklyn on September 4th.
redleg: There is no official YI policy regarding nusach (most YI branches daven ashkenaz). Not sure what a YI style is. Most ashkenazic minyanim say the yom after musaf.
joseph: not after 51% was bought by a german company.
In 1975, it hired outside management, closed older stores, and built modern ones. When these efforts failed to turn A&P around, the heirs of the Hartford family and the Hartford foundation, which owned a majority of the stock, sold to the Tengelmann Group of Germany. (wikipedia)
Maybe you shouldn’t drink beer made in Germany?
I will show my age but I don’t recall anyone boycotting A & P supermarket (especially Motzei Pesach).
qsman: Whose post are you commenting on? The thread started over a video clearly showing a car passing a stopped school bus with the yellow lights flashing and the stop sign out.
WATCH THIS: Car Blows Past School Bus With Lights Flashing In Boro Park
AJ: I misread the OP’s question not to be that of the actual words (which we sometimes refer to as nusach) but the melodies used (which is also referred to as nusach). It was early this morning as I was quickly reading before going to work.
I have heard it dates back to the beis hamikdash and that is why they are not to be changed.
Neville: These are not the daily selichos before shachris. This is only on the first night, a motzai shabbos kumsitz followed by the musical selichos.
What would speaking out here help the situation there? the rosh yeshiva has already spoken about it.
Whether we like it or not, Many chazzanim have had choir’s backing them up for years. As it says in Koheles (1:9)
וְאֵ֥ין כָּל־חָדָ֖שׁ תַּ֥חַת הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ: While these Selichot services are not my type, R’ Shlomo Carlebach led them for years. As I mentioned somewhere else, while there is no musical accompaniment, the videos of the singing of Verushalayim Ircha by the mispallelim of Aish Kodesh (Rabbi Weinberger Woodmere, NY) (available on Youtube) after selichos each year is (for me) tremendously uplifting, especially how the rav dances with the person leading the selichos.a 33% tip? Tell me the last time you went to a restaurant and left a 33% tip. I have rarely seen tips greater than $1 or $2 in Brooklyn Barber shops.
anonymous jew: Please tell me where you find this exemption on 4 lane roads in the NYS VTL? Passing a school bus with lights flashing and the stop sign out is covered by Section 1174 and it makes no distinction between a 2 lane or 4 lane roadway.
laskern:
How do you know it was a yid driving? Because it is Boro Park? This problem is widespread not just in our community.Prices vary. I use a barber who charges $14 for haircut with a eard trim and tip $2. Regular hair cut is 8 and most people top $1. Another neighborhood barber charges $23 for haircut w/ beard trim.
Most ashkenazic siduurim that I own have the yom after Anim Zemiros.
CTL: Has a decision been made yet?
Whatever someone wants to treat me to….
