Which parts of her philosophy?
A=A?
Not taking government money to which you aren’t entitled?
In general, I object to using a person’s name as an example of bad reasoning or heretical philosophy. It positively reeks of strawman fallacy.
Mods: Can you put up the rest of charlie’s post, please?
charlie: since we’re on the subject of idiotic nitpicking over levush, on the rare occasions that I wear a black hat, I also wear it over a kipa sruga.
Ezrat: So? I wear jeans almost half the time and I’ve never owned a pair with deliberately placed holes.
And what is wrong with a multimillion dollar profit-making business as long as it observes secular law and halachah? May there be more frum multimillion dollar profit-making businesses!
Not the kind of statement I’d expect from a guy whose go-to example of anti-torah philosophy is Ayn Rand, but I’m happy to agree.
chayav: This obsession is what led to the decision I mentioned in my earlier post about “es mizb’chosehem titotzu”
Hamodia. Yated isn’t a newspaper either. THey are a magazine in paper format, much like the Jewish Press.
Yeshivish in hashkafa, learning, and dress but not affectations.
Avram: It’s the out-of-townness that does it.
Wolf: You left out a couple more.
1-The rabbi following the sefer torah when it passes by him (like he and everyone else are supposed too)
2- Singing mizmor l’dovid together when the sefer torah is brought back
3- Actually saying the separate misheberach for women with it’s own nusach.
4- Rabbi gives his speech before kaddish instead of before yekum purkan.
I wonder if we can put together a list of 48 similar simanei tarfus. 😛
My solution is not to say anything. If you use an innoffensive equivalent, it just makes the original more likely to slip out. Instead when I do somethng like hit my thumb with a hammer, I picture my reaction if the same thing had happened in a three stooges sketch. I would most likely laugh, so I do.
let’s see if this one gets through:
looks fine to me
I read what you wrote on your blog for her yahrtzeit. I was very impressed.
SJS: That was the point. It’s something normally associated with MO, but is really older than many “yeshivish” minhagim.
because calling someone MO is not an insult.
Really? Can you say that with a straight face? We both know exactly what the phrase means in yeshivish circles.
On a totally unrelated note, so has the custom of singing Adon Olam after daveining.
Sources please? Also, while RaMBaM distinguishes between chiba and not, the mechaber doesn’t. There is a big machlokes whether the omission was davka or lav davka. (I couldn’t say “deliberate” because that would open a whole ‘nother can of worms.)
I have a scar on my right shoulder that looks like a patach. Does that mean that every time I open my mouth I am “??? ??????”
There is an opinion that negia is d’oriasa me’asmachta from Vayikra 18:6. Anyone who has a source, please let me know.
I am makpid to wear jeans (blue or black, doesn’t matter) whenever I am in Borough Park or Williamsburg to be mekayem the mitzvah of ??-??-?? ????, ???–????????? ??????, ??????? ?????; ???????, ??????, ????????, ?????? ???
WHy not make the theme “simplicity?” You can start a trend.
That’s funny. Some of the shitos mentioned in that braisa place an am ha’aretz at levels that many of us would love to reach.
I’m happy to hear it.
(Where’s the naarishe segula? :P)
Popa:
1) LOL
2) Rashi ad loc quotes the diyuq in the gemara that excludes everything but derekh l’visha.
Doesn’t the mishna say “?????? ??? ????? ????? ?? ???? ????? ??? ?????? ?? ?????
The kohanim did it all the time and will again. And they walked completely barefoot.
tamid and tefillin
musaf and mincha
neder and nedava
miqdash and mincha
mi’il and m’luim.
I second Wolf.
Efshar l’kayem shnehem. Go to night school while still in yeshiva. After you get married, you and your wife can decide how many years you learn (NOT SIT) in kollel before going to work.
I’ll play Joseph.
apy: Exactly.
always there: They are all halakhic answers, i.e. 100% in keeping with halakha.
If you were looking for cute rituals that make you feel cool because they are new to you and/or strange, try a different religion. The neopagans are good at that kind of thing.
Bump
Can I get a “resident college shaigetz” tag so people know where all my krum hashkafos come from?
Gaboim: The “minhag” to give a bracelet by the engagement became widespread within my lifetime. I am very young. Not everything done by you or your circle is minhag yisroel.
THe reasons the engagement ring cannot be considered kiddushin are as follows.
1- no witnesses
2- a ring with a stone is passul according to all opinions
3- assukin b’oso inyan only applies if the ring was given min hastam. If it was given deliberately not b’toras kiddushin, it makes no differance.
BTW, I recall that the story with the rings in the school play was that R’ Moshe paskened that there was no need for a get of any kind.
Mods, can I get my subtitle changed to “Modern Orthodox and proud of it”?
Hey, I wanted that one!!
always here: Why aren’t any of these answers halachic?
I usually don’t, but I happen to have my morning coffee with me now.
Derech Hamelech must be a Calvinist. They believe that the world is under the sole rule of Satan. With his kind of twisted worldview, that’s the only “Melech” who I see this guy following.
Once again, look at who is getting so upset by the very idea that frum Jews should have middos.
amichai: A little short on the height and long on the age. And I *do* wear a kippa sruga. How do you think I dress?
You mean all these nutjobs are one person? At least half my reason for joining was to annoy them!
Nobody reads Jonathan Swift?
I also do web design.
smartcookie: Of course it’s a guessing game, and of course I’m not offended! I found the idea hilarious. I laughed so hard my kippa sruga almost fell off. 😀
Care to guess again?
Is this proposal a “modest proposal?” 😉
nfgo3: The sate confiscates part of your estate even if you DO leave a will, it’s called the Death Tax. I think it might be higher if the person dies intestate (w/o a will) but I’m not sure. Google it.
Considering how far off crdle and smartcookie were i’ll offer twenty. People who quote my description of myself from another thread are disqualified.

Can anyone figure me out?
popa: A rather spherical gentleman with a reckl and vest. Long grey beard and perpetual half-smile as if he’s mildly amused by everyone around him.
Hamakom yenachem eschem b’soch sha’ar aveili Zion v’Yerushalayim.
I will point out again that the more strident the poster’s pseudo-frum rhetoric, the worse their middos, and the more offended they are by good middos being expected or exhibited by someone else.
I will keep pointing it out every time that it’s appropriate until you post it.
