December 13, 2015 9:25 pm at 9:25 pm in reply to: skripka's soliloquy on the shidduch "crises". or, why NOT chasidish? #1116115JosephParticipant
I know more than a few marriages between Chasidishe boys and non-Chasidishe girls. It’s been happening for a while already.
JosephParticipantBecause they bite.
December 13, 2015 7:34 pm at 7:34 pm in reply to: Who has more experience, the parents or their children? #1116474JosephParticipantParents.
JosephParticipantAvi, is there a Sefer Chofetz Chaim indicating anything wrong with it as it pertains to non-Jews? There is one regarding the issue of loshon hora as it pertains between Jews, but nothing for the subject on hand. If you have any maare mekomos even from the late great Achronim saying it is untoward, please share. I know of none.
JosephParticipant“frum feminist” is an oxymoron and misnomer.
December 13, 2015 6:19 am at 6:19 am in reply to: The NASI Project – an updated assesement of this shidduch initiative #1116086JosephParticipant1. Parents opinion counts.
2. Parents have experience.
3. Parents are wiser.
4. Parents are less likely to fall for infatuation of nonimportant attributes versus more important attributes.
5. Investigations are critically important in shidduchim.
December 13, 2015 6:02 am at 6:02 am in reply to: Do you know any chassidish Rebbes that I can get brachos from? #1116732JosephParticipantWhat kind of brocha can I bestow upon you, Avi?
JosephParticipantWhere in Shulchan Aruch does the Mechaber pasken that racism on non-Jews is prohibited?
December 13, 2015 5:27 am at 5:27 am in reply to: Are chassidic women allowed to fly planes? #1117778JosephParticipantChasidishe women are stay at home moms.
JosephParticipantAvi, until about fifty or sixty years ago or so, dual citizenship was not acceptable in the vast majority of countries (including the US and Europe), and becoming a citizen of another country would generally result in the loss of one’s citizenship in their original country.
December 13, 2015 12:53 am at 12:53 am in reply to: Who needs ("professional") Shadchanim, anyways? #1144544JosephParticipantConsidering most marriages come from non-professional rather than professional shadchanim, we can define it as those shidduchim that ultimately work out.
December 11, 2015 9:23 pm at 9:23 pm in reply to: Parents visiting married children uninvited at night??? #1117039JosephParticipantMDG, you seem to be a taker. Since the in-laws isn’t giving you enough, in your opinion, you’re peeved at them.
When over, at least thank that in-law for giving you a wife. Without them she wouldn’t be here.
JosephParticipantTen years of hard labor breaking rocks in the gulog in Siberia.
December 11, 2015 3:37 am at 3:37 am in reply to: Parents visiting married children uninvited at night??? #1117025JosephParticipant8:30?
JosephParticipantDisagreeable? Have you missed this thread?:
JosephParticipantIf poisonous product is commingled with non-poisonous product, the most effective way to insure no one gets poisoned is to discard the bunch unless you can identify with certainty which ones are non-poisonous.
December 10, 2015 6:09 am at 6:09 am in reply to: Invited to the Wedding Feast, not the Ceremony-would you be offended? #1142998JosephParticipantHow much longer do you think it’ll take you, Comlink, to determine it?
JosephParticipantDo any American Litvish yeshivos still give their top shiurim primarily in Yiddish?
JosephParticipantWhat’s being worn during the other times than the sometimes tniat is wearing pants?
JosephParticipantThe FDA banning carrots that are not proven to be non-poisonous, during a time when people were getting poisoned from poison hemlock, could save lives.
JosephParticipantNo, but I’d have the FDA ban all carrots not proven to be free of poison.
December 9, 2015 9:43 pm at 9:43 pm in reply to: The NASI Project – an updated assesement of this shidduch initiative #1116077JosephParticipantSDD, In the Chasidish system, where parents are far far more heavily involved, the problem is much less than in the Litvish system where they are less involved.
JosephParticipantMaybe it should.
So do it when you get in the mood.
Anything which can cause such an argument is probably best avoided.
What are you doing on an online forum altogether, then?
JosephParticipantIvanka is publicly supporting Donald’s candidacy.
December 9, 2015 8:05 pm at 8:05 pm in reply to: The NASI Project – an updated assesement of this shidduch initiative #1116074JosephParticipantSDD, if parents weren’t involved you think guys would marry older girls? And if parents weren’t involved, have you considered what other unintended consequences (unrelated to the age gap) would transpire?
Also, if guys dated and married younger then almost by definition the age gap would narrow because the girls wouldn’t marry much younger just because the guys started marrying younger.
JosephParticipantFor cross-reference, SDD posted the following:
Someone showed me yesterday
??????? ?????? ??”? ?”? ???? in the back of ???? ?????,
???? ?
in which he talks about going ????? and going to war against the ???????? both of then and of now. (He talks about the Jewish ???? ??, too, Joseph.)
JosephParticipantAs far as where the best learning would be…I don’t think that should be posted here.
Why not?
JosephParticipantPeople asked the Steipler for autographs?
JosephParticipantRY23: Thank W for that fact.
Now with the new guy in office, he nurtured the Islamic State when he didn’t nip it in the bud, when he refused to intervene in Syria and he surrendered Iraq to these terrorists. The end result is that he now brought their activities to California with the biggest terrorist strike on the American homeland since 9/11.
JosephParticipantAvi: The US Supreme Court has upheld Congressional laws excluding Chinese and other Asians from immigrating to the U.S. And it has never been overturned. What Trump proposed, whether you agree or disagree with such a policy, is clearly Constitutional.
The Supreme Court also upheld the internment of Japanese-Americans in its 1944 Korematsu decision, and that ruling has never been judicially reversed.
JosephParticipantAvi: The Jewish governments discriminated in various actions based on a person’s religion.
JosephParticipantA game of kvitlech, froggie?
JosephParticipantJudaism also discriminates based on a person’s religion.
December 9, 2015 3:45 am at 3:45 am in reply to: The NASI Project – an updated assesement of this shidduch initiative #1116068JosephParticipantSo it seems that for the most part boys are still marrying as late as they had been pre-NASI, still going and staying in Eretz Yisroel as long as they used to, and girls are still marrying as early as they used to pre-NASI. And the average age gap is not significantly lower than it used to be.
Has the klal, for the most part, voted with their feet in not adhering with NASIs well-advertised pleas for boys to marry older girls? Is the cause lost? Are a certain percentage of girls of every generation r”l indefinitely fated to remain unmarried?
December 9, 2015 1:15 am at 1:15 am in reply to: The NASI Project – an updated assesement of this shidduch initiative #1116061JosephParticipantIs NASI still active and pushing to close the gap? Has dejection set in that the gap hasn’t closed more in all these years since the program went public?
December 8, 2015 10:43 pm at 10:43 pm in reply to: The NASI Project – an updated assesement of this shidduch initiative #1116059JosephParticipantWhat do you think is the reason the roshei yeshiva are not pushing them to go out younger (or to insist on a similar age for shidduchim)?
Also, I recall AZ citing NASI’s statisticians as determining it is okay if there remains a several year gap (up to two years), as long as it was reduced from the average gap that existed at the time.
December 8, 2015 8:49 pm at 8:49 pm in reply to: The NASI Project – an updated assesement of this shidduch initiative #1116056JosephParticipantDY: I know the theory in the answer AZ gave. (And it is a reasonable explanation.) But the reason I addressed my question to SDD is because he wrote that “the crisis has little or nothing to do with the age gap” though he acknowledges an “insufficiency of marital opportunities for single girls” (specifically, as opposed to boys).
December 8, 2015 8:06 pm at 8:06 pm in reply to: The NASI Project – an updated assesement of this shidduch initiative #1116053JosephParticipantSDD: What is the reason that this crisis affects girls more than boys?
December 8, 2015 8:01 pm at 8:01 pm in reply to: "Distance Your Path from It" � The Dangers of Academic Study #1141295JosephParticipantThe point we see from the Gedolim shlit”a is that even that is a b’dieved, either due to government mandates (that we try to minimize) or because a number of parents will only send their child to a frum school under those circumstances (especially in chutz l’aaretz). Where secular studies can be avoided altogether, all the better.
December 8, 2015 6:35 pm at 6:35 pm in reply to: ????? ???? ??? ??? ?????? (message from true Torah Jews) #1115988JosephParticipantHenceforth I must remind myself to always refer to you as The Tzadik Reb Volf.
December 8, 2015 6:32 pm at 6:32 pm in reply to: ????? ???? ??? ??? ?????? (message from true Torah Jews) #1115986JosephParticipantAnd you’re entitled to your humility and humbleness even if exaggerated and unwarranted. 🙂
December 8, 2015 6:03 pm at 6:03 pm in reply to: "Distance Your Path from It" � The Dangers of Academic Study #1141293JosephParticipantDecember 8, 2015 5:21 pm at 5:21 pm in reply to: ????? ???? ??? ??? ?????? (message from true Torah Jews) #1115982December 8, 2015 3:40 pm at 3:40 pm in reply to: Obligation to read/listen to advertisements? #1115200JosephParticipantIs the question on skipping ads that appear or is the question using technological means to make the ads not appear altogether?
JosephParticipant“Are you trying to say that MO is on its way to becoming reform???”
See Rav Aharon Kotler in Mishnas Rabi Aharon, vol. 3, Hesped on the Brisker Rav.
JosephParticipantWhen someone is part of the haskala and all his children shmad, it goes hand in hand with each other and one is the fruit of the other.
December 7, 2015 10:36 pm at 10:36 pm in reply to: Just because they don't have a voice doesn't mean you should speak for them. #1115192JosephParticipantWhat if they want me to be their spokesman?
JosephParticipantMy father asked him to be sandek but he told him to have the Mattersdorf Rov be the sandek and he was the mohel.
JosephParticipantMeno, do you have Google’s phone number or other contact that they respond to? I’m having a problem with my Gmail and no one’s getting back to me or answering my emails and phone messages.
JosephParticipantAvi is frummer than Moses, whose children all shmadded to Christianity?
