Maybe there is an oral Humpty Dumpty tale that we don’t know about yet.
Humpty had an Ema and Aba then.
What happened to them? Were they alive when he fell?
Were they waiting by the king’s horses and king’s men, davening for Humpty to be put back together again?
It’s kind of a sad story.
A rabbi told me that in Torah, chickens came first.
And… you’re absolutely right!!!
Scratch that.
Subsequently Jared and Ivanka took this contract to their rav. The rav gave his psak. Here we are.
Jared Kushner: Your contract to work at the Trump Administration is conditional upon your attendance at the inauguration balls and after parties.
The media and other nations will be watching and I refuse to have you as part of my administration if you and Ivanka fail to show up for any reason whatsoever, including your right to religious freedom.
If you want to take this position which is of great importance to our nation, be there with Ivanka.
Sincerely,
Trump
I know. I guess giving our Girl Scout cookies depends on whether one keeps Cholov Yisroel first and if not then whether or not one’s friends and neighbors do keep it.
Because giving out Treifoil cookies can also be a great way to lose friends.
Spelling error intentional
What about floating macaroni picture frames that you can boil or use?
The pieces were glued with a paste of simple flour and water.
We don’t know about the requirements of attendance either. What if their home wasn’t safe at the time and splitting up the Secret Service and having them go a different route with traffic would have been dangerous. Maybe even threats were made c”v. So for their safety they needed to just move along together in front of cameras.
We can have quiet Shabbats at home Baruch Hashem. For Jared and Ivanka, who knows what would have been banging on their doors or happened had they tried to lay low for Shabbat. Maybe this atypical Shabbat heter was permitted to allow the family to observe the rest from here on out in peace. Or more peacefully.
We can be grateful that we don’t have such complicated Shabbat scenarios.
If we apply our Torah wisdom here, wouldn’t we at least agree that Humpty started out as a chicken?
Does anyone ever give out boxes of Girl Scout Cookies?
That’s a more expensive way to make friends.
Thank you LU for explaining.
Hmm I don’t know if I have seen themed mishloach manos in action.
So RebYidd23 was being totally serious.
There is more than one moshiach?
“Or maybe you can get away with spending less money if you make a theme.” (LU)
LU: So wise! Such a great point.
For example, Party Store X has a clearance on tropical-ocean themed party supplies.
So Mishpacha J saves $20 by using tropical-ocean goodie bags and seashell noisemakers in their mishloach manos. The rest of their treats fit into the theme.
Plus Mishpacha J gave out 3 extra mishloach manos this year! Yay.
I appreciate having someone Jewish who supports Israel out there dressing the first lady.
Of course there are bigger issues at hand. Though keep in mind that clothing is personal. People bring it into their homes. They become familiar with the brand. Hopefully, b’esrat Hashem, fondly.
What happens behind the scenes also matters.
Thank you
Whether we care or not, the first lady’s fashion choices influence what goes on the racks and what women wear. Frum women are not immune.
Ralph Lauren may not be directly setting fashion trends for the masses, but with the first lady as his muse, he’s getting through with osmosis.
Having a Jewish name dressing this nonJewish woman still makes a difference.
Ralph Lauren has stores in Israel is meaningful. When how many nations and individuals have stuff to say about Israel? As if they can live without anything affiliated with Israel, G-d forbid?
Do we not need the world to relate to Israel as a friend?
In 1902 he was already portrayed as an egg.
I knew about Humpty from nursery rhymes. Not any films. He was right there in my book.
Melania wore Ralph Lauren at the inauguration and election night. Ralph Lauren is Jewish!
Wearing a prayer shawl
Humpty Dumpty is a porcelain doll
You’re both right.
Though for LU, it’s not my place to say “should” so I would say “could.”
Is a Jew permitted to run for president during an election cycle when the upcoming Jan. 20th inauguration day falls on a Friday?
Who said it is permitted?
Question for your LOR. Why would you be permitted to attend the “party” in the first place?
Kitzur Shulchan Aruch (SA) 33: Things that we don’t do because of danger.
“7:… Walking alone at night”
If the distance and event are permissible, also questions for LOR, maybe maybe maybe walk with someone else. –May be a yichud issue if no one is around and it’s with someone of the opposite gender.
If the area has a dangerous reputation and the only safe way to return home is via car, why a rabbi would tell you to go?
Also this is assuming this “party” is lekavod Shabbat and permissible for someone to attend.
There is a plethora of scientific evidence to prove that vaccinations are effective. They aren’t basing their decisions on science or logic.
If your question is what I think it is asking, about proving theologically that vaccines work, they would need to believe that G-d wants them to protect their children with the vaccines. B”H before anyone gets I’ll chas v’shalom with an easily preventable disease.
I think they would need to be open-minded about it. What does it take for a rabbi to change his view?
More information? Conflicting data? Peer or mentoral support? Evidence that the prior thinking failed? A crisis? A wife’s opinion?
It is odd that they are against vaccines when I hear a lot of how Torah can be like medicine to a person’s soul. Sometimes we need to suffer to get to a healthier and higher place. A closer relationship to Hashem.
Maybe it is that they don’t want to put sickness into their bodies? Expose to that element?
Oh wow. Thanks iacisrmma. Never knew that.
Is the question about a conflict of interest then with the father giving his son smicha?
What about in the olden times when communities were clustered? Why wouldn’t the father have given his son smicha if he could?
I don’t think it would have raised questions unless for some reason the particular rav raised questions amongst the community.
LU: Lol!!! Thank you. I guess I took Joseph’s words way too literally. That makes sOOOOooo much more sense. You’re a lifesaver 🙂
