Mazal Tov!! Is this your first child to get engaged?
The Rambam “pretends” that any position of authority is the same as being a king.
A queen consort has no inherent authority.
Netanyahu speaks for more Jews than the Satmar Rebbe does.
The top Reform rabbi speaks for more Jews than Rav Shteinman.
What’s Hirohito got to do with the Jews?
“What should one say at a praba?” A drasha.
“Is it ok to say silly jokes?” They shouldn’t be vulgar.
“How long should you talk to each person at the kiddush?” 2 minutes and 12 seconds.

Rambam’s issur seems only to be for a woman to be the queen regnant over the Jewish nation not merely the queen consort.
Perhaps.
Why is “perhaps” the best response you can muster to my point? There’s a great difference between queen regnant and queen consort that its silly to pretend both are the same or the same application made on one is naturally applicable to the other.
Rambam’s issur seems only to be for a woman to be the queen regnant over the Jewish nation not merely the queen consort. If so, that means Esther wasn’t even a problematic question regarding Rambam’s issur since only Achashveiros was regnant and Esther only consort.
Though it does raise the question how the Jewish nation did in fact have a queen regnant on occasion. Perhaps those instances were violations of Jewish law.
The only “people” saying they aren’t is the partisan Democrats. What the Democrats have been demanding is that the Republicans controlling Congress pass DHS funding without attaching any immigration provisions as part of the bill.
It’s all irrelevant now as the Republicans capitulated a few hours ago and passed DHS funding only bill.
Dress up as a Kenyan or Hawaiian.
Everyone marries using yichus as one of the criteria in choosing a spouse. You wouldn’t marry the son of an axe murderer, mamzer or non-Jew to take three examples.
It isn’t a broken index table but rather a newly installed algorithm developed by Google that reads everyone’s historical posts and determines which posters share the same views as another and then automatically swaps their identities.
Clearly akuperma and oomis have shared views in the same ideological spectrum.
The Senate Democrats are filibustering the Republican House passed bill to continue funding DHS because it contains a provision reversing the President’s executive actions on allowing illegal aliens to remain in the U.S. against the law.
You definitely need to combine shikrus with celebration on Purim. One cannot go without the other.
Freiliche Purim!
When a couple marry they become like one.
Is it worse than dressing up like a soldier, policeman, clown or Obama?
The drink doesn’t have the dot, so no worries.
ZD or VM, whoever you may really be:
You should do a triple-bureau credit check as your identity may have been stolen. There’s been a major cyberattack, possibly initiated by Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un in the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea, and the system with all the data has been hacked and many are reporting that their social security and credit card numbers and/or their screen name has been hacked by unknown scammers. You’ll need to file a police report with your real ID indicating that you’ve been compromised and mail a certified copy of said report, along with a copy of your driver license, to YWN headquarters where a data specialist will review your claim and take appropriate action possibly up to and including issuing a new identity for yourself and providing you with 12 free months of credit monitoring and protection.
They are truly sorry for the inconvenience.
Put on a baseball cap.
It’s an intelligence test to insure only the smartest are capable of participating in this exclusive forum.
Weird ive been switched with a crazy brit
Who did you use to be?

Can anyone advise what it is.
Lior: It is a tool used to create a get me’usa.
Nu, so how did it turn out?
akuperma: Would you let your kids go out with anyone who is descended from Eisav or is that bad yichus?
JT: Dr. Tendler is a bad source for anything regarding Rav Moshe, despite his familial status. In ’76, the NYS legislature was considering a blanket approval of brain death determinant without any other criteria. MDT falsely advised Assemblyman Miller that his shver supported that bill. Rabbi Moshe Sherer initiated a meeting with Rav Moshe on 5/25/76 with Dr. Tendler where he told Rav Moshe what his SIL was claiming and Rav Moshe was shaken. Rav Moshe immediately had the MTJ office send the Assemblyman a letter stating that the bill “as written is and always was unacceptable”. And this was all during Rav Moshe’s lifetime!
Why is there an assumption that every ideological group has gedolim of their own?
The Jewish malchus is also inherited. The kehuna is inherited.
Why assume that having yichus means one’s own greatness is somehow less? The yichus is in addition to one’s own greatness.
It’s a machlokes poskim.
What is the Rema’s loshon in describing that women must marry? The general rule is that Ashkenazim pasken in accordance with the Rema.
The JDL has already infiltrated the largest organizations of self-hating Jews and is closely monitoring them.
I love being distracted. Which shiur was it?
Forget my point about the anonymity and salt, I demonstrated why your input doesn’t address the challenge since you are citing modern orthodox, not chareidi, folks.
DY: Was that due to dina d’malchusa? If so, the dina in the malchusa may have changed.
WB Rabbi Assur!
Someone who is embarrassed by “weird” Jewish laws, customs, traditions, minhagim, halachas, etc. and apologies for Jews practicing these to-a-gentiles-eyes odd practices and/or even attacks Jews who have these traditions for practicing them, especially in public. Or someone embarrassed to go outside in public fully dressed as a Jew.
Wow. It is painful to read this. Thank you for sharing. It is wonderful how it has increased your emunah.
It is worthwhile taking the opportunity to realize that just as in this scenario destructively false information was spread in accusing a husband undergoing divorce, it also happens sometimes that someone is falsely accused of abusing kids and a whole lot of people think they are helping the kids by destroying the accused.
Halacha doesn’t have a special status for adoptive parents. And the birth parents don’t lose their status as the child’s halachic parents with all the implications (i.e. kibud av v’eim, blood marriages, etc.) that means.
R’ Aaron Rakeffet is modern orthodox. All you are citing are anonymous students of his, so that must be digested with a large grain of salt. And even if you accept it with the salt, as they are students of Rabbi Rakeffet the students are modern orthodox themselves (even if they had at a previous time learnt in Ponevezh.)
So the original challenge remains unrefuted.
What do you make of our thrice daily tefilos for Hashem to wipe out the wicked?:
Let there be no hope for informers, and may all the heretics and all the wicked instantly perish; may all the enemies of Your people be speedily extirpated; and may You swiftly uproot, break, crush and subdue the reign of wickedness speedily in our days. Blessed are You L-rd, who crushes enemies and subdues the wicked.
charliehall: How many Orthodox schoolgirls living in Riverdale learn Gemorah today in elementary and high school?
Zionism will be gone. Together with the other isms – communism, socialism, nationalism, etc. And together with the reform and conservative.
DY: You need two items. Add in a small bottle of Kedem grape juice.
How is a 20th Johrzeit more notable than a 19th Johrzeit?
