gamanit, she also added to read it with some meforshim, which is not Torah shebicsav. anyways, if it was only rus it would be okay, but the idea of staying up shvuos night is traditionally a male practice.
“Just a member: JTS isn’t like that anymore. I said it used to be fairly observant, maybe even the MO of its time. But those days are over… YCT purposefully tries to be creative within the halachic framework- they actually cite mekoros and learn Gemara. They might be wrong but they at least try.”
yct is on the same beaten path as jts. jts, also, gives a “creative” halachic framework with a “psak” citing mekoros, just as you say yct does.
lbk: di faras is totally treif. no jew eats there.
huh? normative halacha is that woman shouldnt learn Torah shebal peh. so nowadays, bdieved, we make some exceptions and allow certain things due to the shas hadchak situation we are in. but dont make a lchatchila out of a bdieved! dont add things that shouldnt be added, and under normal circumstances shouldnt be done altogether.
rationalfrummie, if mo is really “centrist”, who among orthodox is on the left of mo.
(regarding yct, firstly yct considers themselves mo and secondly the mo have been calling themselves centrist long before yct ever existed.)
rationalfrummie, everything you said about jts could be said about yct. jts too had many “talmidei chachomim”, including saul lieberman, who kept shabbos, kosher, etc.
rationalfrummie, the gemora says a woman’s chelek in talmud Torah comes from her encouraging her husband and sons to learn Torah.
rationalfrummie, there’s a reason jts rabbis cannot be part of the irf. yct has never gone as far and pushed the boundaries of frumkeit as much as rabbi saul liberman and jts have.
among frum people who are neither mo nor yeshivish/chareidi, from what ive seen id say most by far wear velvet.
whats the difference between a kipa sruga and knitted?
theres a young lubavitcher guy that sometimes davens in our shul (when he is visiting his parents) who wears a large black knitted kipa. [his father and brothers wear velvet.] its the only time i ever saw someone wear such a thing.
usually i will assume someone wearing a knitted kipa is mo. i dont see why between velvet or knitted one would be more apolitical or neutral than the other. id assume velvet is the default. were knitted even common 100 years ago?
ups or fedex it. or just regular israeli mail.
i grew up in a modern orthodox family. when i was a teen our family joined a yeshivish community. but when we lived in the mo community, many mo community members looked down on frun people who werent mo. looking down on others is something i never experienced in my large yeshivish community.
i used to have a regular phone. and it even had a filter. but it was possible to go around the filter. and even though i didnt do that often, sadly i did it on occasion. and those occasions had a bad effect on my neshoma.
after i got a kosher phone i no longer could cheat. and my neshoma was the better for it.
jews always had a dress code to differentiate from the goyim. although it changed over time, sometimes even using a article of clothing that goyim abandoned as common dress, this is what it includes today.
to some it signifies a tightening noose, how she is gonna be to him.
before 1980 chareidim didnt serve in the army. so nothing changed from 1980.
