    It keeps people employed and you don’t have to get out of your car. It also allows smaller independent gas companies to operate.

    The IDF puts their life at risk to defend the lives of Jews; it’s a bit different than putting on a spare tire in the middle of Monroe. They deserve recognition, whether you agree with the Israeli govt or not .

    Israel isn’t any other foreign country. It’s the country we should all ideally be living in which lives under constant threat. When the Arabs attack soldiers it’s because they’re Jewish not because they are Zionist. We live in a privileged post-67 world where it seems easy. If you were there in 67, you’d get it.

    I’ve accepted that throwing up is part of the experience and that I feel better after. But it’s still very important to pace yourself throughout the day, hydrate, make sure to have sufficient food in your stomach as you’re drinking, and pickles help.

    Masters in accounting might give you a more educated background in accounting and stand out when you’re applying to entry-level jobs or internships but it doesn’t do much otherwise as a professional. A CPA gives you license to open a practice, sign off on tax returns and audited financial statements, represent clients before the IRS, etc.

    GH if you deny it or claim it’s not applicable (unless you have a health condition which is a יוצא מן הכלל), then you’re a kofer. Not drinking doesn’t make you a kofer.

    The phone usage in MO shuls is geferlach. Shmoozing on Shabbos definitely happens. During the week the davening is too fast to shmooze.

    If a MO rabbi spoke against mixed swimming he’d have backlash at least and will lose his contract at most. They purposely hire rabbis who won’t criticize their lifestyles. Yeshivaleit go out of their way to do mitzvos eg peter chamor. The mitzvah always applied.

    In the Chasidish world yes there are people who are needy(they have a higher population than MO at least per Capita) but BH due to the wealthy chasidim – they aren’t an anamoly – they have a safety net because of the organizations that the chasidim have. This is one area of life that the MO are ignorant. I know from my professional experience that there are a lot of chasidim who are successful in real estate – they are investing in real estate all over the country; there are a lot in the nursing home industry e-commerce construction and they’re killing it far beyond the imagination of the MO. What they do have for those who are struggling are kiruv organizations they try to work on the LCD. In MO world when teens are mechalel shabbos they go oy nebach. Tznius in shul for women isn’t an expectation. Guys and girls shmoozing is encouraged (there’s a major arayos problem in the MO world). There are LGBT shadchanim in the MO world. LGBT is celebrated. That’s the underbelly that exists and the rabbis who personally might be against it such as R Schachter have very little influence when it comes to these matters. Rabbonim are pressured to side with a more liberal agenda and keep quiet about what they really think. On the flip side the frum YU types are very solid but in time they start sending their kids to yeshivish places. They know the college charade game is up.

    Holding a minors hand during simchas Torah of at a wedding is a different context than a situation where it isn’t really warranted. In the yeshiva world it’s common for someone to not be aware of boundaries whike citing a halacha or hanhaga tova to compensate.

    Yserb nursing home administrators make 6 figures a year. Very likely that he’s not on programs but if he isn’t his wife can still be. No I’m not explaining how if you don’t know. You can have an Amazon business that does well operating as a c corp and pay yourself the least possible to get on programs and then take more money out later.

    So instead of plastic straws let’s destroy all the trees to make paper straws which last maybe one drink before falling apart and then we all have less oxygen and food. Do you liberals think these ideas through before blindly following? Liberals don’t do anything right.

    Shimon, the liberals often create new environmental issues when they try to restrict the use of one material by replacing it with others. They can’t do anything right. Ok don’t use fuel so use more batteries instead. It’s narish.

    The chasidim who are wealthy and there are a lot give back more to their communities far better than modern do. The ones who are poor are able to make weddings b’kavod because the chasidim give back . MO communities often they’re the majority of the community and they are too soft to take over the local governing boards and they don’t all have bussing. The chasidim take over the towns and use power for their benefit. The chasidim can accomplish for their towns in 6 months far better than the MO do in ten years. E.g. the one shared mikveh that’s a mile away.

    There’s no passing grade on the SAT. You don’t really need one altogether. The modern orthodoxy approach to modernity is let’s try to incorporate the left wing view to Yiddishkeit not what does Yiddishkeit think about the left wing view.
