CTLawyer: So simply state Hillary, as she is the shoe-in Democrat candidate. (Unless your intention is to vote for a fringe unelectable candidate.)
American chareidim are closer (in many senses) to Israeli chareidim than they are to DL/RZ/MO.
gavra: Bedford Avenue cuts through a wide swatch of Brooklyn, including Williamsburg (where you were for the chasuna and has low key housing), Crown Heights, Flatbush and Midwood (where the fancier parts are.)
Ted Cruz. But I’d be inclined to vote for another candidate who is more electable in the general election such as, perhaps, Marco Rubio.
shimen: We miss jent1150. Any idea where he is? 🙂
Charlie: Kollel yungerleit represent less than 1% of the Orthodox Jewish population. So the other 99+% can certainly subsidize the <1% of people devoted to full-time Limud Torah HaKedosha.
In Utopia, no one ever complains.
In other words, congratulations to the Democrats for being less successful in their efforts towards making the United States less like a democracy and more like a corruptocracy.
So Republicans did a better and more successful job on gerrymandering than the democrats did, though they also tried. Congratulations to the Republicans in a job well done.
DaasYochid and golfer, I ask your mechila for stringing you along on my silly question about making assumptions on those not posting in the thread, and the follow up to that irrelevant non sequitur.
writersoul, world you be as sanguine that if your future husband were to be a doctor, and that’s just who is, great; and if your future husband’s calling is to be a local kosher grocery checkout clerk, if it is financially viable, you’re totally cool with that idea all the same.
Mothers should be at home when the husband is working.
Mendy Wald! Whatever happened to Mendy… I haven’t heard of him in ages.
I heard of guys who agreed to work 9 to 5 but later in marriage decided to work longer hours. Therefore marrying a working guy is bad for Shalom Bayis.
There’s far less of an excuse for a mother to work, and abandon her children to strangers, if her husband is working than if her husband is engaged in Limud Torah.
Is your name Rodney King?
Flatbusher & those with that mentality:
Are your similarly opposed to two working parents, if that means the mother won’t be home with the children?
Or is the vitriol only reserved for Kollel?
Eichlers.
I’ve been to very many seforim stores and judaica stores, and I’ve yet to encounter even one that sells a woman’s tallis or yarmulka.
There must be something fishy in the waters where your are in the land down under…
Abba, what’s the story for next year? Even if courtesy bussing is cancelled from February through June, will the monitor permit courtesy bussing again next September if the yeshivos agree to continue to stagger their starting times? Will the yeshivos agree to that?
If courtesy bussing is cancelled in February will the monitor also force coed bussing from mixed schools in February as well? If so, what will the parents/yeshivos do if the courts don’t stop the change?
ubiq, I’ll give you a hand at your bar mitzvah.
Talk about Republican North Carolina and ignore Democrat Maryland. How very intellectually honest, Charlie Hall.
Forget the stocking stuffers and stick to your Chanukah tree.
Is he now a pro-OO supporter of HIR and YCT in Meah Shearim?
Many people all the time put out flowers, plants, trees, etc. to beutify their home or celebrate an occasion or general happiness.
I didn’t c”v ask you if you put colorful lights on your Chanukah tree. I would never be choshed…
Whaaaat, beautifying ones home with a nice tree, plants, flowers lkovod Chanukah is chukas akum? It’s a basic human expression of celebration/joy much like having a party/singing/eating/smiling!!
What if you are Moshiach?
How about a diamond studded golden cross, ZD?
ubiq: Did your continue your family tradition this year of hanging a red stocking on the family Chanukah tree for everyone to secretly deposit your presents into?
I meant to start thread asking everybody what Christmas presents they received this Chanukah.
When a yid passes away without having prepared a plot the chevra kedusha still manages to bury him virtually always within the day. How so?
We need more kollel yungerleit, not more baalei batim. The percentage of people in longtime kollel is a pittance compared to the working class of Jews, as it is.
Yes, it will work for the next 25 years, the next 50 years and the next 100 years. There have been naysayers predicting a doomsday and apocalypse for the Yeshiva system and its financial wherewithal due to the kollel system and whatnot for every year over the last 65 years. It’s always predicted to fail within 20 more years.
Precious few kollel yungerleit have gone of the derech due to financial circumstances. Indeed, many many more wealthy Jews have gone OTD in order to pursue the American dream of living an upper class lifestyle than have gone off due to poverty. On that argument your should rightfully being arguing against Jews seeking great wealth.
nfgo, no it does not apply to them. It only applies to Acheinu Bnei Yisroel.
Gerrymandering was started by Democrats, so they are reaping what they sowed. Surely they didn’t think only they are permitted to do so.
The Democrats were on their guard in 2010 but nevertheless lost out the every decade gerrymandering effort by both parties. Hopefully they’ll lose out in the next round too when Republicans win most Statehouse races in 2020.
Blue for Republican, red for Democrat.
They need two or three burial plots for themselves?
Abba, isn’t the district paying the parents who they didn’t get busing for to get their own transportation?
