UJM I just gave you a name and I know who his family is better than you. Nonetheless I backed it up. Legally a university has to make such accommodations. If an LGBT person came out with a suit against a lakewood yeshiva they would get into trouble.
lakewhutParticipantIf you’re on the level that you can keep yourself inspired and focused on the day without them and not batul or ch”v watch things that are inappropriate for the day, then kol hakavod. Otherwise please share your thoughts with various gedolim who give divrei chizuk on this day to livestream audiences throughout the world and see what they have to say. Putting down others for observing tisha bav in this way isn’t bringing us closer to moshiach.
lakewhutParticipantOn one hand, it isn’t so bderech tznius. On the other, it can give a bas yisroel a positive influence on YouTube. Would you rather a Jewish girl watch a video of a goyish singer on YouTube or her to watch a video of a Jewish female singer that can bring her inspiration? We’re not in the vilna ghetto anymore.
lakewhutParticipantUJM democrats lead the congressional ballot on nearly every poll
lakewhutParticipantHow do you learn that it’s from immoral activity?
lakewhutParticipantAAQ there are exceptions to everything but for the most part taking someone out of a torah environment at age 20 to just work is not a great idea.
lakewhutParticipantAAQ yes but to be able to learn all day without interruptions, the ceiling higher for potential. Take the 20 year old out of yeshiva is a risk that he falls into a bad crowd of other 20 year olds not learning.
lakewhutParticipantI think it depends how old he is, what he’s doing for work, and where the person is holding. Between the ages 19-23, it’s to focus on growing in learning. Once a person leaves yeshiva full time, the learning is not the same. There’s something about being in the ד כותלות of a yeshiva where the bren of Torah is felt throughout the day. Unfortunately it happens too often that a bachur leaves yeshiva holding in a decent place, and then once he leaves to go to work, he falls into a bad crowd and his ruchniyus levels go down. There’s no better “system” to be in than a yeshiva for a young bochur. It’s better for someone to be working than doing nothing. It happens to be that usually that when someone thinks the “yeshiva system” isn’t for him, it’s self-diagnosed. There are different types of yeshivas for different types of people.
lakewhutParticipantReading from a book is better than digital. Easier on the eyes and doesn’t need to recharge
lakewhutParticipantWar
lakewhutParticipantBecause like many other topics there’s more than one issue at hand. In a lot of cases these shooters have been tipped off to the FBI and police and not much was done to stop them. There’s a mental health issue not addressed. It isn’t only a gun issue. Chicago has all kinds of gun control laws and police and it doesn’t do enough to address the problem. There aren’t many mass shootings in Alabama.
lakewhutParticipantWhat some called neo chasidus is dancing and singing at a kumzits with food and alcohol while learning a bit of kabalah and not really understanding it. Chasidus isn’t something you just become; it’s a level that most people don’t reach.
lakewhutParticipantNeo chasidus is ncsy but with beards and peyos
lakewhutParticipantYou can make guidelines for people instead of burying your head in the sand. And almost every yeshiva benefits from the Internet in terms of fundraising. I never suggested that it’s hefker and that there isn’t a bad side to it, but the reality is that it has become a big part of the world. How many shidduchim today are redt through whatsapp and other platforms. And I don’t buy the attitude of they didn’t have it in the olden days and people were happy. No not everyone was.
lakewhutParticipantHaleivi,
I’m not ignoring that there are dangers but it’s easier to say treif and ban it than to look into the possibilities of how it can be of benefit to us. I have a filter as per daas torah but it doesn’t mean I say it’s all bad. Waze wasn’t a benefit to everyone? Can we live without these things? Yes. But there are a lot of benefits that have fron it that have improved our lives.
lakewhutParticipantAvirah,
That means it takes hate wisdom to be matir than to make assur. Almost every yeshiva has a rayze campaign. 2012 only accomplished appealing to an audience who weren’t really using the Internet anyway. There could have been positivity about the possibilities of tzedakah and tourah sources as are the ways internet is used by many baal habatim even in lakewood Williamsburg and in Israel today. But the point is that other types of Jews are using the technology and are looking to be on the right side of history. What happens in a yeshiva isn’t nevessarily applied to what happens in the general world.
June 10, 2022 12:50 pm at 12:50 pm in reply to: Husband of House Majority Leader, Nancy Pelosi Gets Away with a DUI Offense #2095377lakewhutParticipantWell we know he won’t get any time. Why hasn’t he been indicted on charges of insider trading? If he was a republican Biden would have the fbi looking at every step of his. You know how this works.
lakewhutParticipantBecause democrats never let a tragedy go to waste
lakewhutParticipantSir Aya what gives chasidim the right to make these svarahs?
lakewhutParticipantReb Eliezer. How do you say the mishnayos parts. What if you don’t know what the words mean?
lakewhutParticipantThe buck is on the democrats. They are In power and responsible to fix it jackk. You wouldn’t know it by reading about all the Roe vs Wade freakout and aid to Ukraine. The democrats are failing on every front and don’t make anything better. FDA is working too slowly. More democrat red tape. They could drill foot more us oil but no we need to save trees first.
lakewhutParticipantAAQ yes the truth is there are very few real litvish jews in America today. The chasidish influence has reached the yeshiva system as well.
lakewhutParticipantThe democrats like to make the exception to the rule and apply it as the rule in almost every case
lakewhutParticipantNo but a shidduch does involve going out of your comfort zone and doing hishtadlus.
lakewhutParticipantUJM that is a gmach. That’s something else.
lakewhutParticipantRE nah sometimes people go too far about it.
lakewhutParticipantGH doubtful. It’s a deep state hack. It’s someone from the white house. Otherwise we’d know the leaker. The dems are his whomever leaked it.
lakewhutParticipantLet’s see you use that energy for when a SC Justice rules the way the dems like. Imagine if someone did that to RBG or in the future to Ketanji Jackson and planned to harass her at her house. They’d cry racism and sexism all day.
lakewhutParticipantUJM go join a lev tahor cult
lakewhutParticipantBA it’s called questioning
lakewhutParticipantCTL lives in his ivory tower compound in CT… is out of touch with reality
lakewhutParticipantCTL they haven’t called for it yet because it isn’t politically viable now but they are doing everything they can to get there. Get a clue.
lakewhutParticipantCTL. I just proved to you. Stop being a doctor establishment sheep. The department of homeland security isn’t doing anything to stop the hordes of illegals coming in but he’s concerned about tweets. Now that Twitter isn’t doing what they want to crack down on things that don’t like to hear they are taking the matter into their own hands… Soviet style. This is a ministry of truth.
April 28, 2022 6:27 pm at 6:27 pm in reply to: Chazzanim prevented from reciting ‘E-l Male Rachamin’ on Holocaust Day #2080842lakewhutParticipantujm that’s sensitive to families of Holocaust victims. What else do they teach to in your shtetl cult?
lakewhutParticipantNotice how the dems just engage in whatsboutism. Everyone knows these views aren’t normal and supported by top dems across the country.
lakewhutParticipantJackk the communist doesn’t like someone who’s ahead pf him. This is a win for free speech and dems hate the idea of free speech.
lakewhutParticipantIf it has mainstream hechsherim why be machmir?
lakewhutParticipantHis policies are weak. He doesn’t do anything right
lakewhutParticipantIf not for covid Trump would have won. Trump did better than any republican running for president in recent times.
lakewhutParticipantHulu the Democrat anti war movement has led to 50% of Americans not willing to fight for their country. This country isn’t ready to tight a war. The standards for a general isn’t based on Mero anymore; its based on intersectionality garbage.
lakewhutParticipantJust a clever politician
lakewhutParticipantBolton is a professional liar. Trump didn’t weaken NATO; he made the participating countries pay more.
lakewhutParticipantHulu the reason why we are in this situation now is because Biden didn’t act on time. He’s escalating the conflict even more with these all out sanctions and it’s hurting America economically. He’s reacting not preventing.
lakewhutParticipantGH how is he doing fine? Everything he touches gets worse.
lakewhutParticipant@GH So now we should help Venezuela? That makes sense. We should be fracking here and drilling. And open the keystone pipeline.
lakewhutParticipantBaesalel there were a lot jews who were there since the soviet union but aren’t frum. The shluchim there are bring them back to yiddishkeit. It’s not so simple for everyone to move to another country.
lakewhutParticipantWell it is true that Biden and his propaganda left wing news machine are using this to distract us from the terrible job he’s doing. But also as a moment of Trump bad. Under Obama Russia annexed Crimea and under Biden. Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia didn’t do any of these things under Trump. Biden is now acting after the fact against Russia. If the democrats truly cared about Ukraine they would’ve done preventative measures. This is political theater for the left because they have nothing left to run on.
lakewhutParticipantThey aren’t nearly as popular and powerful as the Dem antisemites who want to destroy Israel
lakewhutParticipantWhat the BY and seminaries do is criminal. The Bais Yaakov system crrated this thing that if they dont go to seminary they won’t be able to get married. They put pressure on families to go into debt over this. They brainwash girls for a year onto thinking that they have to marry a learning guy and if they’re not married to the prize yeshiva guy in a year they go back to their old high school selves. It became this rite of passage and nothing will change if the parents don’t into go with this and accept it. It’s not a rite of passage. There’s no chiyuv for girls to learn.
lakewhutParticipantNot all
