People have been standing for both chosen and kalllah at every wedding I’ve been to for the last twenty years. That included everything from MO to yeshivish, mixed and seperate seating. Apparently it’s a minhag, just not everybody’s.
Why can’t someone mail your medicine from the US. How do you know that the drugs haven’t been in their medicine cabinet for five years?
Health, the Arabs haven’t controlled the land for nearly 1,000 years. Between the Crusaders, Mamalukes, Ottomans and, finally the British, others controlled it. Why should I care that the Arabs didn’t agree to the partition?
Akuperma, please put aside your paranoid fantasies of raids and arrests. Also, the land wasn’t stolen from the Arabs. It was partitioned by the UN into Jewish and Arab states
The high school I went to (BTA) had English on Sunday . The school day Monday to Thursday went until 6:10 so on Friday we had lemuday kodesh only and Sunday we had the secular subjects.

Papa, what I stated was simply the facts. Calling it apikorsis simply means you have no answer. Learning is not a guarantee against harm. And citing unknown gzeiros that didn’t happen is not proof.
No, calling it apikorsus means it is apikorsus. We don’t need to discuss every possible blasphemy on this forum. We assume a certain agreement about the basics of judaism.
Sorry, but it was. I was the one who deleted it.

While they both rejected Torah she’beal peh, the tzrdukkim disappeard after the churban, the karaites arose in the 700’s. At one time they accounted for nearly 40% of all Jews until Saadya Gaon published a critique that started their decline. One version of their origin holds that Anan Ben David was in line to the be the next Exilarch. While brilliant he was also unstable so the rabbanim elected his brother. In anger, Anan started karaism
Never understood why people insist on protecting an incompetent and not the frum Jew who could be wasting hard earned dollars because people didst warn him because of l.h.
To achieve true Sholom bayis, treat mother in laws with respect but draw clear boundaries regarding their behaviour.
Boys will be boys which is why they need adult supervision.
West Palm has the palm beach county fair. Besides the amusement park and arcade, there are lots of animals, crafts, and its fun
Shmulka’s appeal derived from the fact that for years they were the only kosher Chinese place in NYC and you could go at midnight motzei shabbos
If it assur to return, why wasn’t it assur to buy in the first place?
Greatest, you’re assuming that the teacher isn’t giving over a minority machmir or kulah opinion.
Shmendrik, based upon your Chelm kashas, how did you qualify for kollel? Do you learn from the Classic Comics version of Shas?
It is not wrong. There are no jobs in social work whereas nurses can generally get jobs anywhere. You wouldn’t train to build horse drawn trolleys expecting Hashem to provide a parnassah
Shmendrick, many of thesingle name rabbonim also had jobs. How come that doesn’t count as tradition?
Shmendrick reminds me of people who use mesora to fight any change but have no clue what mesora is. Frumkeit has ossified only in the last ten 250 years as a reaction to Reform and secularism. The davening, for example was constantly being added to. Just look at the piyuttim from yomim norayim. Most were composed between 800 and 1300. Kol Nidre was added in the middle ages, as was Nesane Tokef. Kabalas Shabbos is only about 500 years old.
A typical response is that we are not of their madriga, but then neither were the people who made the changes compared to generations that preceded them
But if they had no guilty conscious, wouldn’t Yaacov have accepted it? Remember, they declared it assured for anyone to talk about it, which is why Yitzchok tell Yaacov and Yoseph never contacted Yaacov. Strange behavior, including being over Linux AV by lying, for brothers convinced they were 100% correct.
Zeeskite, if they were so certain they were right, why did they lie to Yaacov and cause him years of anguish?
Wit, I see your point but I have a problem points such as yours. You are making the assumption that your standard is the one to measure others against. You said you were upper middle class. To a kollel family, your lifestyle would appear just as obscene to them as the rich man’s seems to you.everything is relative
Just my hapence, only religious identity is matrilinial. Nationhood was patrilinial. If your parents came from different shvatim, you belonged to your father’s. Your identity as kohen, levi or yisroel is determined by your father, not mother
Moses was a complicated man. A brilliant planner and builder, responsible for Jones Beach,numerous state parks, and virtually every bridge and major highway in NYC and Long Island and the Brooklyn-Battery tunnel. He was also a self hating Jew, a racist who hated mass transit and working class people. He respected only power and money. The beautiful stone overpasses on his LI parkways were built with a low overhead to prevent.t busses with poor people from the city from getting to his parks. The BAD in Brooklyn Heights was Robles decked at great cost and the Northern State parkway twists and curves to minimize impact on the estates that existed back then. On the other hand, he destroyed a vibrant Jewish and Italian Bronx community when he destroyed thousands of homes when he built the Cross Bronx expressway.
Robert Caro’s book the Power Broker is the definitive book on Moses
Father is learning, mother is working, who is home schooling? Is mom teaching her sons Gemara?
What would stop yeshivas from raising tuition by the amount of the voucher?
Why do people who speed, run lights/stop signs, park in bus stops, double park and overstay meter time feel they deserve a break?
If yeshivas want public money, their budgets should be subject to the same public scrutiny that the local districts are. How would you keep taxpayers who are not parents off the boards?
Zeeskite
Thanks for responding. To your first point, it just illustrates my point in that their lack of ruach hakodesh and foresight created the Catch 22 situation of choosing death over the treifa Medina. For centuries, ghettos and the Pale of Settlent and laws banning access to many professions served to aid keeping everyone frum. Secularism didn’t exist and the goyim gave the gedolim to enforce halacha thru the shtetls bais din
The gedolim didn’t recognize that in the 1800,s things started to spin out of control. With more options, the frum world began to lose more a.d more Jews to the various isms (Zionism, secularism, socialism etc )when and with each pogrom they left Europe. However unlike other exiles which were forced( but were accompanied by the gedolim who guided their flock,this one was self motivated and against the gedolims wishes. Instead of recognizing that millions were going anyway and sending the best and brightest to guide them, they were left unguided and their children were I’m any cases taught in chefets by bitter men who could fond no other work
Nisht
I believe Hashem had valid reasons for both. I believe Gedolim can use these events to inspire people to do tshuva. I also believe that since the end of the first Galus ruach hakodesh and nivius ended.
Sounds like you married your wife in order to acquire a valet and cleaning lady mb
I’ll ask again the question everyone ignores, perhaps because there is no answer.
Why didn’t any of those tzaddikim whose ruach hakodesh allowed them to divine with crystal clarity the cause of the Holocaust use that same ruach hakodesh to divine the coming of the Holocaust and warn the Jews to get out instead of, as many did, telling them to stay?
Most companies have written policies regarding progressve disciplinary steps. However, before you start that process, meet ith the employee, note that you’ve observed a lack of production and offer your help. Perhaps they don’t understand the process or are working inefficiently. If these steps don’t produce results, then you have to take the disciplinary approach.Because you are new at it, ask either your supervisor and Human Resources for guidance.
Avhaben,
Why must you immediately make it a MO issue, especially since Wolf mentioned yeshivish and MO
Wolf was correct. Children of friends have become Lubavitch, Belz ,and yeshivish
and the parents adapted and accepted their choices with love. Nothing stops a MO child from making a choice so no organization is needed.
You have to be careful to avoid a common error for new managers. Among your 15 employees, there will always be a few who tend to slack off and not do their fair share.
The tendency for new managers is to avoid conflict and shift the burden to your good employees to get the work done on time.
While this may work in the short term, what you will end up doing is rewarding the slackers with less work and incurring resentment from your good employees who are fully aware of what is going on
I haven’t written a check to UJA in decades and I have no idea what the organization beginning with F is.
I’m not so sure it’s worth putting not only the lives of the guests at risk but also the staff ( waiters etc )that must work
Shlishi, but you’re willing to accept a nameless sourceless unseen report to support your numbers.The OTD % is not 50% but neither is it 1%
2centd, shelters were set up. In some NJ towns, people refusing to evacuate are being asked to sign releases acknowledging that first-responders will not respond to a 911 call.
Englishman,your point is valid but only applicable to his shul. The report is being used to apply to all MO, which without the details and author, shouldn’t be done
I don’t take offense at most of the stuff on this blog regarding MO as I am secure in my beliefs and hashkafa and I am not looking for nor do I need the approbation of posters. At the same time, I do expect no less from the yeshivish/chareidi posters. My opinion’s shouldn’t affect them in the least.
All I ask is use the same criteria. Would you accept the kashrus of a restaurant based upon a story in which Rabbi Pruznansky said he only had an oral report but didn’t know who gave the hashgacha, where the meat comes from, or if they used a mashgiach. Of course not. But enough people insist on citing the report despite no knowledge of the reports author, criteria , methodology or detail.
Akuperma
as opposed to the way people dress at stand-up kiddushes?
We use seperate sets for dairy and meat because we have two dishwashers, one milchig and one fleishig
Nishday
you didn’t address my “silly points”. It’s clear that noone is exempt from criticism
Let me understand the this. It’s not loshon hora for the Torah and miforshim to point out the shortcomings of Noah, Abraham, Yaacov and the shvatim but Artscroll can’t mention failings of an Achron?
Throughout the entire period of the mishkan and the first Bais Hamikdash, idol worship was rampant. When Ezra returned to Israel after the first galos, he found widespread intermarriage and ignorance. The second Bais Hamikdash saw the influence of
Hellenism and the Tzidukkim. It’s nice to think of those generations as exalted but wishing it so doesn’t make it so.
Avhaben,
That’s a good recipe for a divorce.
Litvishe,
It’s the not an absolute obligation. She can’t tell you to do an aveira or change your minhag. She also can’t tell you to do something that would destroy your Shalom bayis
Mother in laws should learn to mind their own business. It’s not their place to override the parents decisions or to critique everything. They then play the victim when the recipient of their sage advice finally has enough
