Same by the Ashkenazim. however, we refer to it as a KEIL MALAY RACHAMIM.
mentsch1: My issue is that you are using this forum for your mussar when it was not the reason for these bochurim being issued the tickets. They did not get a ticket because cars passed them. They go a ticket because there is a law on the books making hitchhiking illegal for whatever reason the legislature passed the law. If you don’t agree with the law, move to New Jersey (unless you already live there), run for the legislature and change it.
Why is this different than our fights against shecita bans etc. ? Because we cannot live a normal life without shechita.. Hitchhiking (however you want to twist yourself into a pretzel and turn it into a chesed) is not. If the boys were just walking along the road towards Lakewood, your mussar would be correct. The fact that they were actively trying to hitchhike in an area where it is forbidden is the problem.
To solve the problem would be to designate an area where yeshiva bochurim to congregate and drivers know to go there to offer them rides. It would be similar to the groups that gather at “Shomrei Shabbos” on 53rd and 13th Ave. looking for rides from Brooklyn to Lakewood.
mentsch1: implicit in your posts is something that is not part of this story…..not giving a ride is a maaseh sedom. Where in the story is there any mention that 5, 10 or 20 cars passed these boys without stopping? The posters are just stating that the cops did not do anything out of line by issuing a ticket, just like if you passed a red light and were issued a ticket. Ignorance of the law is not a valid defense.
And here was my response to you: mentsch1: Picking up a hitchhiker maybe an act of chesed but the hitchhiker is violating NJ law whether you like it or not. I am not so naive to believe these boys were looking for a ride just so the driver can be credited with an act of chesed.
Have you thought about contacting ArtScroll directly to see if they can search their archives from 30 years ago to find the answer?
What about the Mishna Berurah Shin Chaf SK Nun Hey (last two lines)?

And Shin CHaf Alef SK Chaf Alef along with the Biur Halachah?

DovidBT: Just trying to bolster what Avi K wrote, look at the last half of the 5th Perek of Megilas Esther (starting at passuk Tes). Haman thinks he is on a roll and describes all the good that has happened but then meets Mordechai who still doesn’t rise or move for him. The megilla then describes that Haman went home and devised a plot against Mordechai. Haman at that moment felt that he would succeed based on R’ Yitzchok’s teaching. However, since Mordechai ignored him and did not contend with him, Hashem reversed the fortunes and Mordechai and Klal Yisroel were saved.
Avi K: While you are correct it a the yom hadin, there is still an aspect of yom tov to it as stated in Nechemiah 8:10-12 –
10 – יוַיֹּ֣אמֶר לָהֶ֡ם לְכוּ֩ אִכְל֨וּ מַשְׁמַנִּ֜ים וּשְׁת֣וּ מַמְתַּקִּ֗ים וְשִׁלְח֚וּ מָנוֹת֙ לְאֵ֣ין נָכ֣וֹן ל֔וֹ כִּֽי־קָד֥וֹשׁ הַיּ֖וֹם לַֽאֲדֹנֵ֑ינוּ וְאַל־תֵּ֣עָצֵ֔בוּ כִּֽי־חֶדְוַ֥ת יְהֹוָ֖ה הִ֥יא מָֽעֻזְּכֶֽם:

11: And the Levites quieted all the people, saying, “Hush, for the day is holy, and do not be sad.”
12: Then all the people went to eat and to drink and to send portions and to rejoice greatly, for they understood the words that they informed them of.morik: What system are you talking about? Please put in punctuation marks so it is not a run on sentence.
CTL: If I remember correctly you have had family “celebrations” this past year (bris of a grandson) so a family get together may not necessarily trigger bad memories in the minds of the younger grandchildren. I am not a psychologist so I am not talking with any specialized training.
I can understand Mrs. CTL’s feelings as my father’s petirah was two weeks before chanukah and I was far from being in a celebratory mood.
Since your wife has already expressed certain feelings, maybe it would be a good idea to move the seudos to one of your children, but have them ask your wife to come help with preparations. My .02
Either way your family should have a nechomah from the petirah of Mrs. CTL’s mother and may she be a “MELITZAH YESHARAH” for your entire mishpacha.
CTL: Before we reply, did you ask Mrs. CTL what she prefers?
Personally, I do not recall what we did for my grandmother’s first yahrtzeit on the second day of sukkos 40 years ago.
I can be a member of a group, yet not participate in any of their activities.
I have no idea and don’t care. It doesn’t make a difference to me whether it’s 1 or 100, as long as the site runs smoothly. They have a tough job deciding when to or not approve posts and topics. I moderate a much smaller group and know the difficulties they face.
Yes, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Let’s keep the jokes aside. I grew up in a Young Israel where the Rov was a musmach of R’ Dovid Leibowitz and this Rov held the Satmar Rebbe in very high esteem.
Some om children wanted us involved, others didn’t. We left it up to the individual child.

I doubt it’s the moderators. It is normally the web designers hosting the website. It is a way to ward off denial of service attacks.
i know that many Rabbanim from Flatbush do take vacations during the summer yet in almost every case there is a sign up with the Rav’s vacation location and/or summer phone number or a listing of Rabbanim who can be called if there are shailos. There are also many Rabbanim who are home who are available to answer shailos.
The Rav of my shul does not take a “vacation” but does go away for a shabbos or 2 to visit his children. Many years ago I had a shailoh during the nine days, called my Rav and on his answering machine were the names and telephone numbers of 4 poskim to cal if there was an urgent need for a psak.
I have heard that R’ Asher Zimmerman TZATZAL, did not go away for the summer so he can be home to answer shailos.
Check out Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan’s book “Made in Heaven”.
Many years ago, I heard Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis A”H and one of her brothers (YBLCT) speak about their experiences on Chaf Zayin Nissan.
I am pretty sure that the כובע בראשו mentioned are not the current fedoras we have today. Hamon am at that time wore caps.
Symptoms of what?
laskern: and where did bekeshehs and streimels come from? The Polish aristocracy.
Under Georgia law secrion 40-6-206
(c) Any police officer is authorized to remove or cause to be removed to the nearest garage or other place of safety any vehicle found upon a highway when:
(3) The person driving or in control of such vehicle is arrested for an alleged offense for which the officer is required by law to take the person arrested before a proper magistrate without unnecessary delay;How do you know it was a yids car?
i clicked on the link and saw nothing about impounding the car. Please supply a correct link.
Maybe you should find a poseik and ask him.
Probably was deleted by the moderators due to the tone of the posts.
Borei Pri Ha’adamah
Yes, I do make a shehakol on chocolate.
A website was set up last year that gives information for those visiting Orlando……www.rabbiorlando dot org.
Information regarding kosher eateries and supermarkets catering to the kosher consumer in the Orlando area.I plan to be home and pursue my normal shabbos activities including attending my Rav’s shiurim and learning with my chavrusahs.
Joseph-The FCC is the agency that enforces these rules and understand that they may have the legal ability to confiscate. That doesn’t change the fact that Hatzoloh, a a private entity, does not. tHE ARTICLE STATES “They were interfering with Hatzolah for the past two weeks in the Woodridge area, until they were tracked down by Hatzolah members. They immediately had their radios confiscated.” The way it is written, it seems that the Hatzoloh members who “tracked them down” confiscated them.
CTRebbe: It is well known that R’ Moshe learned under R’ Isse Zalman Meltzer in Slutzk and under R’ Pesach Pruskin in Shklov and then in Amtsislav and considered R’ Pesach as his primary Rebbe.
(see Reb Moshe, Mesorah Publications (ArtScroll series) by Rabbi Shimon Finkelman).
In addition, where would we be without the Alter of Sladbodka in whose Yeshiva learned R’ Ahron Kotler, R’ Yaakov Kaminetzky, R’ Yitzchok Hutner, R’ Reuven Grozovsky, R’ Dovid Leibowitz, R’ Yaakov Ruderman.
1)read it (& show it to my family) and then throw it out Just as I would expect others to do with the ones that I send.
Learning directly from the sons of the Brisker Rav?
I too read what was sent out by the Halachah Hotline of the Five Towns and Rockaways and IMO they are stating that one can fix or alter already worn clothing, even in the 9 days.
Midwest2: I am waiting for a talmid of Rav Belsky to respond to your question where we can find the original psak. The CRCWEB dot org cite has a number of piskei halacha that were heard from Rav Belsky directly including:
Copepods in New York City Water
Submitted by: Rabbi Yaakov D. Lach
Rav Belsky permits drinking New York City water
without a filter. His primary reason is that the reservoir,
by definition and in function, is a bor (water pit) and
therefore the creatures that develop there are
permitted. Although the heter of a water pit is only to
drink straight from the pit (since when removed from
the pit, the creatures are considered “piraish” /
separated and become prohibited), in our case this is
not a concern. This is because in New York City all the
creatures show up dead at the tap, due to
chlorination. There are Rishonim who are lenient and
rule that once dead, the creature remains mutar,
even when separated. We are allowed to follow this
opinion when there is a tziruf (additional lenient
factor). Here, the tziruf is that the incidence of the
creatures is not very common, generally being only a
miut hamatzui. Rav Belsky himself drinks unfiltered
water.The video I saw seems to show someone making the initial tear with a knife or razor blade, and the avel making the brocha and tearing the tefach over his heart, the way it is normally done.
That’s why many people flock to watch the Macy’s fireworks display in NYC. They leave it to the professionals.
Rabbi Belsky permitted drinking New York City water, even though it contains copepods. He argued that since Jews have been drinking this water for over one hundred years, and no one ever noticed them, they must not be considered nirah l’einayim (visible to the the naked eye). Furthermore, since the copepods only live in the reservoirs, which have the status of mei borot (gathered water), the copepods are actually permissible to be eaten. [Note: In deference to the opinion of other posekim, the OU requires filtration of New York City water.]
excerpt from Jewish ActionIt is right for some bochurim, not right for others. Two of my sons went there and we were very satisfied.
k-cup: no one that i know of says it is assur medeoraysa. Just the opposite. R’ Belsky Tzatzal paskened that one can drink the water without a filter.
2 tablespoons flour? 4 cups yeast? rise for 8 hours? what’s there to rise? Bake at 500 degrees for 90 minutes? Sounds like a recipe for charcoal, not challah.
What’s the difference? Do you have a choice before the child is born to decide on the gender?
DovidBT: Any specific measurements?
Meno: Your quote from the Traffic rules does not support your definition of a driveway. My neighbor obtained a permit for a curb cut to a little area in front of his home that fits the definition of 4-01(b) but would not be in anyone’s imagination a “driveway”.
The question for the OP is how do you know if it’s an “illegal driveway” or not? and what geographic location are you located?
