From what I’m understanding is that he’s in kollel. If he’s not going to minyan, then maybe it’s time for him to leave kollel and get a job.
Charlie hall, please explain to me how our economy is any better under Obama. It just shrunk 2.9%, it’s at the worst since 2009. Look at the stats, more people are out of jobs and more people just gave up looking. Welfare dependants grew by 50%. I understand that you want to be liberal but you have to see the truth. I don’t agree with everything Bush did, but at lease he didn’t make America or her allies look weak and like fools.
If you want your kid to have a good secular education then send him/her to a more modern school. I was a para at a frum yeshiva in Brooklyn for a year and the secular education was a joke. They crammed 4 subjects in basically an hour and a half. The kids weren’t event interested bc they were exhausted from the long morning Hebrew classes.
Drink water. Don’t drink soda or juice. You’ll lose 5 lbs in your first week
Umm, there are many great Rabbi who teach in YU. YU was one of the first yeshivas/colleges in America and they’ve done an incredible job teaching their students how to balance yeshiva and schooling. If it weren’t for YU, most people would have gone to secular colleges and not had a yeshiva education.
I watch movies, but if the guy told you he doesn’t watch movies and then you get married and now he does, then there is a problem. He lied to you about his hashkafah. Again, I think it’s totally fine to watch movies but once he lies to you about his hashkafah, then that’s not ok.
Women inferior? I’m the farthest thing from a femenist. I believe if you work hard enough you should deserve it no matter your gender. My company prides itself on diversity and 2 of my bosses are women; men are the minority where I work. I’ve never seen anyone smarter than my boss. She’s an absolute genious. If she learned gemorah(which I disagree with), she would be one of the top learners.
I work hard for my money, why should the government take it was and redistribute it to ppl too lazy or unwilling to work? The concept of socialism is that everyone’s equal, but were not all equal. In Russia there used to be lines out the door for food using your ration card
Here’s a solution: vote for officials who are pro school vouchers. Also schools need to lower their tuition. It’s getting out of hand
Newark’s unemployment rate is 14% under Booker. If you want higher taxes in New Jersey then vote for Booker. If you want less taxes in New Jersey then vote for Lonegan.
That’s every yeshiva/day school. I went to modern schools for elementary and high school and the rich kids never got suspended or in any real trouble bc then maybe the parents would stop giving money to the school or give less. That’s how life works
Why don’t you decide for yourself? The decision is up to you
As conservative as I am, and as much as I would love for Cruz to become president, if he were a democrat I would go crazy if he ran because he wasn’t born inAmerica. I couldn’t believe Obama became president and he wasn’t born here either
You should start a blog or a Facebook group about it. Personally, I moved a lot of my portfolio from stocks to bonds, because I think the economy is inflated and interest rates will sky rocket while stocks take a huge downturn. I don’t think the stock market will rally for much longer.
I would suggest either Forrest Hills, Queens or the upper west side in the city. Both places are pretty modern and there is opportunity to grow in yidduskeit, however you can also fall as well. We live in a modern frum neighborhood, and sort of do what we want without really caring what others think.
He’s a kid. He should absolutely be doing the same amount of chores as his siblings. I don’t care if he’s going to be the next Michael Jordan. He needs to learn how to share the chores with his siblings so he can grow later on in life!
I know the rabbi of Brandeis and hes a chovavei graduate. The chovavei graduates get really good jobs after they graduate. The institution has so much money. Howard Jonas and Charlie kushner are huge donors. As long as they have money they will be successful. Btw I’m totally against their hashkafa. I disagree with everything they do
I’ve had contacts since I was 13 years old. They’re amazing especially because I always play basketball. What’s annoying is people always ask me if I wear colored contacts
Wolfman- how is this considered a stumbling block? If I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing and not looking, I won’t stumble
Is it every okay for men to look at women exercising in public. What do you do when you a see a goysih girl jogging in public? Do you stare or look the other way? Same applies for a Jewish girl, DON’T LOOK!!!!
Sam2- you tell them that the point of marriage is to have kids. Bc without kids the World would be extinc
I think I’m missing something here. What do you mean that your 28 year old sister couldn’t keep quiet so the baby could sleep? Assuming she’s totally normal, this makes no sense. Why didn’t your parents yell at her to quiet down, it’s their grandson after all.
We had a great time!! The only annoying thing was trying to get the neutering karta guys to smile for the camera
Some of my friends have figured out who I am because of my extreme political views. I also figured out who a couple of people are here but I don’t know them personally.
Our country would be a lot better place without liberals
PROUD REPUBLICAN!!!
They were Muslims and that’s all that counts. Religion of peace?? HA!
You have to be really blind and liberal to not think this was a terrorist attack right away. The second I heard that there were explosions in Boston, I knew immediately it was a terrorist attack and 99% sure it was an arab. I didn’t think Jews were that naive
She was a great woman. I wasn’t alive during her reign except the last 2 years but I read that the world was a much better place under her and Regan.
Israel has a mandatory draft! It’s very accommodating to frum Jews unlike the Russian army that wasn’t do accommodating for frum Jews. If we really believed that we should learn Torah all day, then go to the army as required and then go back to learning full time afterwards. I really don’t understand how this is a gezeira. The borders of Israel are getting more insecure every day and Iran is almost getting a nuclear weapon. We need a big army.
I also went to work today, maybe I saw you there pou bear.
