    Figuratively. Noting a discrepancy between the figurative answer and the literal answer would also be interesting.

    But if chas v’shalom an occasion should r’l occur after your child is 13 that requires discipline, how shall you react and what shall you do?

    So far we have answers ranging from father and brother, aside from a few jokes. It appear that it can be accurately said that no one from this chevra lives in a home where the wife wears the pants.

    CA, how is it relevant that your children are still pre-teens? Does the Halacha change once your children are teens?

    Midoraisa a husband can divorce a wife who insists on eating herring. But not vice versa. (This is more relevant to Sefardim who don’t have Rabbeinu Gershom.)

    Syag, that was my initial reaction too. But then I was thinking that perhaps it’s a cultural thing. Maybe CA is Bucharian?

    CA, so you’re saying that people should still discipline their own children over 13/12 but should discipline other people’s children only until age 13/12. Okay.

    Until what age should one discipline their own children? And how should the discipline change after age 13/12?

    Trust me, if I wanted to get back I would’ve answered ages ago. In fact I did respond to your comment shortly after you posted it. And if this was intended to get back you can be sure you wouldn’t have gotten the winky. 😉

    i don’t know who she is but my guess is that we do not have a single thought, belief or ideal in common.

    But you’ve answered for me here better than I could myself with the crux of your response, even though you thought responding for yourself. (As an aside Moishele is neither satmar nor nk. He is stam a meshugana from Europe.)

    So should a parent stop disciplining a boy once he reaches 13 years of age and a girl when she reaches 12?

    Also, what kind of stick should be used when he’s 11 and 12?

    ubiq, the Jews won in court and had the Eruv ban in Westhampton overturned because the ordinance banning the Eruv was an unconstitutional interference of government in religion. There is no roundabout way to make a ban that is intended to inhibit a religious practice be constitutional by pretending the law was enacted for an allowable secular purpose when the true intent, even if not admitted and outright denied, was religious based discrimination. It is unconstitutional on the face of it.

    You are are asking about hypothetical laws that can’t be legal any way you cut it.

    It would be illegal under State and Federal law and unconstitutional. I don’t even understand why you’re asking.

    ubiq, what if KJ passed a law that you can hang 10 non-Jews every Purim? That sounds like a bad law. I dunno, I’m sure we can both conjure up many hypothetically bad laws.

    ubiq, please cite where in the U.S. Code of pre-WWII, Federal law inhibited immigration on the basis of Communist affiliation. To the best of my knowledge that did not occur.

    As a practical matter no African-American wants to purchase a home in KJ, and as a realistic matter none have ever tried, because they’d feel completely out of place where virtually 100% of the population is Satmar Chasidic Jewish and they’d be the only person out of tens of thousands of people who are not. So none have tried.

    The homes in KJ are privately owned and can be sold by the private homeowner to whomever they want. So any issues on this regard would simply be a matter between the private owner of 429 Torah Avenue (or whatever the address of the home in question) and would not be a public municipal or governmental matter.

    Mass anti-communist hysteria started after WWII with the onset of the Cold War, not during or before WWII. But even anti-communist hysteria wasn’t a serious fear about immigrants being commies.
