My chevrusa’s yeshiva is now up to date. They had a matching fundraiser similar to Darcheis Simcha fundraiser. One of the conditions was that the yeshiva had to seriously evaluate how they got into the mess and make specific meaningful changes in their operations

There is no meaning to designs other than beauty

Akuperma, you ignored my point. Yeshivas do not, you claim, spend double what the goyim spend. You denigrate all public schools while asserting that all yeshivas provide quality secular and religious education . Sadly, we know the latter is not the case.

Rebuild, homeopathic simply meansthat we don’t know how it works. American Indians used certain types of tree moss to fight infections without knowing how or why it worked. It had mold that acted like penicillin.

Actually, French and Spanish are Romance languages derived from Latin and are not similar to English

Who says they are? They were invented by a Jew.

I would think that most teachers in yeshivas are so poorly paid that they rarely go anywhere that requires air travel

Joseph, you might be equating Catholicism w in the mainstream Christianity . Baptists , evangelicals might reject the Trinity as well. Their church’s have none of the statuary found in DC churches

Two different constituencies

Paying for a wedding is not tax deductible. Simply using a yeshiva as a go between doesn’t kasher It. A local family was incurring huge Legal bills in a child custody issue, and asked people who wanted to help defray the cost to make the checks payable to a fund the shul set up for the purpose. The shul was informed that simply making the payments thru the shul did not make them deductible and closed the fund.

The Darchei fund is on the up and up. All I’m saying is that the donation might not be deductible. People deduct the full cost of Darcheis dinner, it doesn’t mean Darchei did anything wrong

I defiabuse as what went on in my yeshiva ketana. Rebbe’s would punch, slap and even kick us if they thought we weren’t paying attention. When the yeshiva would periodically fall months behind on salaries, the rebbe’s took their frustration out on us. This was in the late 1950’s. It did not engender a love of learning. There was also emotional abuse. Example:when I was nine , I went to my Rebbe after davening to say that I had concentrated real hard for half of the davening. His chizuk? He called me to the front of the class and ridiculed for davening hard for only half.

Somehow I did not go OTD, but I came close a few times until adulthood when other factors put yiddjzhkeit in a more favorable light. Many of my friends did go OTD. Contrary to some posters, sometimes it is the educators and parents ( who knew about the beatings but assumed them to be justified ) and not the kids unhappiness or emotional instability. My parents were not bad people, they just assumed this was how it was supposed to be in yeshiva

The yeshiva high school I went to didn’t use physicL abuse but ridiculed and shamed students if they didn’t like the questions that were asked

Mammele, how many interview/studies have you conducted that led you to your conclusions?

Jose, you don’t care about how k or Hispanic kids, and. Using for less than two miles is NOT mandated.

Each district pays their own taxes. How far away do you have live to get free bussing?

Not a joke. It’s often decided on the best lighting. In my friends shul, for example, he stands to the right because it’s D directly under an overhead spotlight

Joseph, care to mention five of Rabbi Poliakoff’s “numerous” errors? You slandered his work, now prove it or apologize

Akuperma, Orthodox. Jews are not exempt, defacto or otherwise.my father in law, as well as many other frum Jews, were drafted and served in Ww2.

MA, you missed my point. Of course it’s not right. But , unlike what you implied ( ” what has happened “) it’s simply not new behaviour.

Everyone seems to have ignored or misrepresented my position. What the ruling was that it was muttarvto eat kitniyos in Israel if : a. It was contained in a processed product. B. The kitniyos was indistinguishable C. The product had a valid kosher for Pesach hashgacha.There is no chsash of mixing with chametz

All the issues raised by the Mishna Brura are negated by these requirements. Nisht, if you feel that this represents wild eyed, lefty kulos, well, that is your problem

BTW, S per Rabbi Blumenkrantz Pesach sefer, gebrocht does not appear anywhere before the Achronim, so it’s not an ancient minhag

In Israel it is difficult for American olim as many KP products contain kitniyos.

One of the solutions proposed by some poskim is logical, The whole issue surrounding kitniyos arose because of life in agrarian Europe hundreds of years ago. It was difficult to distinguish raw chometz from kitniyos and the fear was chometz might have gotten mixed in.

With todays processed foods, that have valid KP hashgas, that concern no longer applies. Often, the only way you know that kitniyos is in the processed product is by the label. They have said that these types of processed kitniyos can be eaten by olim. It’s logical and makes sense

Then what do piglets drink?

Gamanit,OP didn’t say cleaned, he said picked up

DY, I don’t eat kitniyot. I’m referring to the ever expanding list. The OP wants to add coffee and chocolate. Ten years ago it was Qenoa. What is the obsession with adding to the list?
