Don’t you find it offensive that married people are called “married” as if it defines them?
I find it very offensive that 60 year old pipsqueaks young enough to be my children are called “older” singles.
Among Chasidim 21 year olds are older singles.
Roshei Yeshivos also have sons that marry a girl years below their own age.
jf02: As squeak alluded, men are not subjected to the type of tumah that is relevant in this case.
Sam: Many poskim, especially among Ashkenazim such as the Rema who says we ARE noheg against it for the reason squeak mentioned, do rule against it.
Men’s hats or women’s hats?
Who and how will enforce that only the tahor dance with it? And how about the immodesty of publicising who is tahor and who is not?
<sigh> Again, arguments over the mathematics of the age gap.
Welcome to golus.
1. What’s the downside to guys dating earlier?
2. How does the downside outweigh the upside?
The war has been lost.
Your intent was to demonstrate that IP claims in halacha stand on shaky legal grounds?
What’s the heter that some yeshivos (and shuls) employ to give a kiddush before tekias?
What would’ve been so objectionable about saying that to have been edited out?
What compels you to remain in your current shul?
A 5 hour service is hardly that long. Many shuls are notably longer. We’re you expecting to be in and out in three hours??
And R”H davening isn’t intended to be a concert…
What are typical family seating prices this year? Surely there are less expensive shuls too.
Personally, I think that best books are books on shidduchim. Nothing can make a man happier than getting married.
This is “early”?!
Who said your understanding of the terms of sale is correct insofar as the binding terms they’re sold under? (I’ll look at the linked seforim later but a quick glance through seems to indicate that at least some shittas cited are far from universally accepted.)
“Lending is included in the purchase, but permanent sharing is not included in the purchase.”
TY. So you’re *assuming* it is excluded by the contractual terms of purchase.
1. Why are you assuming the seller imposes that unwritten term if copyright law does not provide such protection? Do you make the same assumption regarding a non-Jewish published recipe book?
2. How can the seller impose a term of sale that was never agreed to by the buyer? (Especially, considering, that the author published it through a publishing company which sold it to a retailer which resold it to the final consumer. How did any alleged unwritten [non-legally protected], non-explicitly agreed to, term carry over through all those channels? Do you assert such a term would even apply to someone who borrowed the book from the library or a friend or found a discarded copy of it? How so?)
3. Even assuming you to be correct, a violation of the contractual terms of sale merely give the original owner the halachic recourse to nullify the original sale/contract, demand the return of the book and at the same time refund the buyer the original payment for the book – thus reversing the original sales contract that was breached. After that the breach has been corrected and all parties are whole.
I didn’t ask for examples; I asked for a specific and well defined basis in halacha that makes the differentiation that you make.
Apparently the old adage that the more someone says they’ll be quitting the CR, the less likely they’ll actually be quitting, is very true.
Would the cRc tell you by telephone *any* specific Orthodox kashruth certification agency, by specific name, is generally unreliable?
Animals aren’t natural city slickers. Hence you don’t tend to see them lying dead in Times Square.
“do you think I can buy a Susie Fishbein book and then share every recipe with you?”
Would you object to loaning a Fishbein book to someone? If not, on what halachic basis do you differentiate loaning the entire book with the scenario you are seemingly objecting to?
Debatable.
Did you convict or acquit? What was the judge’s sentence?
Cut the kid some slack. She googled the school she’s researching before applying and found this old thread so became a member here and asked her question.
It doesn’t get on the nerves of other than a small subset of people. And it’s none of their business anyways unless they are paying for it. And if they are they agreed to it.
That’s very debatable.
If you choose to become inactive and post to state so, you will no longer be inactive.
In my days you had to be well under 18 to get unto CY.
+1 to everything sem613 said.
There are yeshivos that say the first slichos in the morning before shachris.
Can I be sad and cry on Shabbos and Yom Tov or should I keep my emotions in check despite if my natural inclination to be sad?
“But I still don’t get how he is reading the gemara.”
Fun ah kasha shtarbt men nisht. S’iz besser tzu bleiben by’m ah kasha vi tzu zogen ah krumer teretz.
Silk.
Pres. Bush was aware the first plane was a large commercial airliner before the second plane hit.
I don’t think one needs to “apologize” for discontinuing dating someone even if after a large number of dates. One needn’t marry someone in order to avoid that person experiencing heartbreak. Of course common courtesy of a pro-forma explanation should be provided but even that should typically be limited to something along the lines that one sees the other person as a great person but simply not the right match for themselves. Giving very specific personal reasons why one chose to discontinue dating could be hurtful to the other person.
3. It is at best debatable whether a numerically greater number of instances of being declined for a date is an affront to one’s “dignity” and you didn’t clarify why you’d think dignity to be at issue when accepting or declining an offer to date is a non-public matter.
I, too, was on Country Yossi (twice) in the ’80s. I won a sefer in Eichler’s for getting the three questions correct. Around 1993 I was on every show on TalkRadio 77’s lineup. Getting on Rush was the hardest as the lines were always busy and it took weeks of trying. I still remember the dial-in number. I once went into 2 Penn Plaza and took the elevator to the 17th floor to see if I could see Rush, but all I could get to was into the hallway with the doors to WABC and its FM sister station. I once met him in Manhattan and got his book autographed. The others were relatively easy to get on, including Bob Grant, Jay Diamond, Curtis and Lisa Sliwa, Lynn Samuels, Ed Koch and Mayor Rudy Giuliani. I also was on Barry Gray on WOR and spoke to Gov.’s Mario Cuomo and George Pataki on their weekly WCBS call-ins. At the most recent Siyum HaShas I got (randomly) interviewed by Fox News.
President Bush knew about the tragedy before the second tower was hit.
But, oomis, fny attributed it to “preserving the girl’s dignity”. Do you disagree or do you think that preserving the boy’s dignity is equally vital?
The Torah can certainly dictate what we must believe. We also know we are told at times to be b’simcha. Apparently feelings can be dictated.
It’s a shofar. Rumor has it that Moshiach has arrived!

The Chofetz Chaim learned while his rebbetzin ran the grocery store. This was hardly the first; such setups long existed. But even if it IS new, so what? Look at it as a lifestyle choice. There’s no “long tradition” of Torah Jews going to college or driving cars or having running water at home. None of that gives a license to change Jewish traditions.
Aryea: Have you ever read William F. Buckley Jr.’s various books on his sailing experiences?
CharlieHall: I’ve seen you previously acknowledge there is no evidence of harm from MBP. How do you now account for your last above comment.
fny: Men need no dignity?
A mod ought to change this title to “How to internalize knowledge into action” if anyone is to have any idea what this thread’s about before deciding to skip reading it. Meaningful thread titles matter.
