It’s a Boro Park thing
Haifagirl,
Generally speaking, legal cuts lead to a driveway leading to a garage or the back of the property. Illegal cuts are usually made directly in front of the home with no driveway.
Or you can call the City
Yitzchokim,
If I’m not mistaken bus stops are no standing zones. I know that block. Yidden double and triple park, without being in the CA, blog king people in
Rachel,
Regardless of their fees, you keep ignoring the fact that if you didn’t park illegally you wouldn’t have a problem
When are boys supposed to visit grandparents and relatives, in they’re not in walking distance
Rachel, I have a better idea. Don’t park there illegally
Shein,
so you’re saying it’s ok to lie and cheat just so you can park your car. If the signs say parking for shoppers only, thats what they mean. It’s not hard for them to spot you. All they look for is someone depositing thier shopping bags in the car before heading to the water.
Dr Lawrence Schiffman gave a lecture about DNA. He said thst studies show that while approximately 90@ of Jewish males of European ancestry share the DNA source of YehudaTzvi but only 65% of females share it.
Among the reasons that led to this stem from the origin of the early Ashkenazi European communities. Many of the early settlers were traders following the old Roman routes, and they often traveled alone and took local wives. Even those who traveled with families had, early on, to take local wives for their children until the communities, which were never large, at least became big enough to begin marrying Jewish girls from other families.
Besides converts, thee was unfortunately another source of outside DNA, children that resulted from rapes that occured over the last two thousand years
If it isn’t your minhag why are you doing it for your son?
Zahavasdad, I’m not saying it isn’t done, it’s just not legal. I know of seniors whose Medicare was thru a spouse marry only halachicly do as to not lose the benefits
That is why it is a mistake to think your child is in a protective cocoon and there is no need to teach what the outside influences are. If they’ve no idea what is they are susceptible to trying it
Englishman, according to the website you cannot get married in NYC without a civil marriage license, regardless of any additional religious ceremony that is performed.
Englishman , check the website for the Office of the City Clerk. All Officiants (including clergy )when at private ceremonies conducted within the five boroughs must send a completed and signed copy of the marriage license to the Clerk’s office. In addition, the City requires all Officiantss to register with the Clerk’s office
2bshvat, The First Amendment is not absolute. The classic example is that you cannot scream Fire in a theater when there is no fire.
The Government compels hospitals to obtain a signed informed consent from the patient after all possible complications are explained.
The Government compels drug manafacturer’s to disclose all possible side effects, np matter how rare.
The government already regulates our marraige ceremonies. All clergy, including rabbanim, in NY are forbidden to perform a religious ceremony without also making sure that it includes a civil ceremony.

Wine stores inexpensive rubber corks and small vacuum pumps. By removing air from bottle and sealing it stays longer. To open, squeezing the cork releases the seal
It’s a surgical procedure, not purely religious. If a mohel w as performing MBP wouldn’t you want to know if he was healthy if it were your son/grandson?
I don’t believe that the market that the DD is aiming for is the people who use CY. If that were so the store would be on 13th or 16is or 18is Ave. By putting it next to the hospital they are going agree employees and visitors who are not from Borough Park.
In any event, no should decide where to eat or not eat based upon who supposedly did or didn’t eat there. They should check the hashgacha.
First of the OP’s bias is exposed when he called CY “kosher milk”, implying that all the psaks that hold that milk undr US government regulation is kosher too are wrong.
Regarding supervision of baked goods coming into the stores, DD’s supervision is tougher than any mashgiach.They have one of the toughest franchise licsencing agreements in the business and are so sringent and focused on quality control,they have pulled franchises from operators who tried to play games.
In the end, no one is forced to accept the hashgacha and buy there.

Why to you make such blanket statements. It wasn’t included in Tanach but it doesn’t mean it has no status or validity.
First Book of the Maccabees
Akuperma
Are pogroms,expulsions,massacres ,the destruction of two Bais Hamikdash and thethe holocaust examples of Hashem not letting things go wrong?
If I’m not mistaken, during the revolt of the Maccabees, the Greeks got the idea to attack Jews on shabbos. After they were slaughtered because they wouldn’t fight on Shabbos, chazal issued a takana permitting fighting on Shabbos
The odds of the bread landing butter side down increases with the cost of the carpet
And the kehilla has the right to not accept it, as was done in the past..Not every takana was accepted
It was supposed to be gaiva , not Haifa
I really don’t understand the issue. Speak Yiddish, speak Avrit, speak both or speak neither. Why the need to delegitamize the other? However, Yiddish does have one thing in common with Ivrit. Neither is holy. Yiddish was born out of Haifa. When medieval Jews were expelled from German states, they were welcomed by the Polish kings. The Jews accepted the invite but they were still Germans. Even back then they considered Slavs to be savages snd refused to speak Polish. They continued to speak their native German which developed into Yiddish
Actually if you look in Succos daf yud aleph there is a machlokes as to whether Rav held a certain position; each had a mesorah that contradicted each other
Oomis. If it was so wonderful why did you move?
Frum Jews learned a valuable lesson from East Flatbush. They allowed themselves to be panicked by unscrupulous real estate agents who blockbusted the neighborhood. Within 2 years everyone ran, abandoning everything. Unlike Brownsville, which was poor, East Flatbush was middle class. Only Remsen Village tried to hold out but they are gone too.
Avbaben , just because you disagree with him doesn’t mean you can call him Mr. I don’t agree with much of his thinking but he is still a rabbi. I disagree with everytbing the Satmar stand for but I wouldn’t call them Mr
More,
Your taharas hamishpacha comment and thephilosophy behind it cause more people to go off the derech
Rachelle, this is another example of someone sticking their nose in someone else’s business. It’s no concern of yours
Oomis is right. What many people here are following was first proposed by the Calvinists and later the Puritans. Why doesn’t Chukas goyim apply here?
Are you sure you weren’t in Chelm?
Why is it time?
I meant Chukas goyim, not china
As I’ve said elsewhere, China’s is never cited to assured misuse food stamps, Medicaid or Section 8. If anything, it’s justified. ” but the goyim do it!! “
Shlishi, The Gemara was writtem in Aramaic, not Hebrew because the people spoke Aramaic and they wanted them to understand it. There was nothing inherently holy about Aramaic; it was just the English of its day
Goyim also breathe so let’s hold our breath. Who makes this stuff up or cares?
Choppy,shlisi
The Satmar brothers have been slugging it out for years in court over their yerusha. No one has killed them
Toi, you’re right. Who needs a bais din!!
Live and let live means if we’re both following valid peaks but yours is more machmir, leave me alone
Gluten free challah and matzos are made from oats
Ohr chodosh , why is that a good middah
Englishman, the chassidim ditched centuries of custom and mesorah when it was founded.
Newsflash! Not everyone agrees with your hashkafa or is obsessed with knees! There are np tznius police so get over it. You are free to practice your view on tznius ; you are not free to impose your views on others.
I can’t believe this subject warrants serious discussion. If ever anything qualifed for less chumras, this is it
Ohr chodosh, even if the Nazis hadn’t happened the world the gedolim knew was collapsinng.You didn’t have to go to the US to become frei . Jews were leaving the shtetls and assimilation, and all the isms (the socialism, communism, anarchism. )were already making deep inroads. They didn’t forded that unlike the tsars, who for the most part allowed us to practice Yiddishkeit, the Soviets would close down yeshivas and shuls and attempt to stamp out Yiddishkeit.
Our chodosh, their biggest wrongs came at the end of the 19th century when they failed to recognize that centuries old shtetl isolation culture was falling apart and million’s of Jews were emigrating to the USA. Because they didn’t recognize the changes, many emigrating Jews were lost to Yiddishkeit and many of the Jews who stayed. In Europe were either killed or were lost to Yiddishkeit under the Soviets
Choppy and health,
Are you saying that every chaired learns? If you want to treat their efforts the same then the cbaredim should be subject to the same restrictions. If the chilonim can’t go home each evening or take days off whenever they want, neither should the Chareidim.
Heath, Israel is not in a response state of war?
