    Neither you nor Aaq has offered an example of what MO are known to be more machmir in over the standard “yeshivish” person

    Kashrus? Tefillah? Shabbos? Tznius?

    Aaq’s examples are “דינה דמלכותא” and supporting oneself but these aren’t specific to Jews

    And I would surmise that MO of today are totally different than they were 30 years ago both positively and negatively

    I think the problem is because people have lavish simchas but give very little tzedakah, but if they do both it’s totally different imo

    I want to post a retraction

    I found people that I think you are referring to, I think they are few and far between though and think they’re more OOT than in the city

    “coffee, refuah shleimah. I hope you appreciate your Jewish doctor who is more likely to be MO than a BMG grad.“

    No, it’s a dental problem and my insurance doesn’t have that many Jewish dentists and I won’t get into what happened it’s a long story and there are Jews involved but thanks for the well wishes

    “These are KMOs. TMOs learn either at their shul or at a local kollel after a long professional day. They choose which classes to attend without a need to show kavod to a high-position rav“

    I don’t understand the abbreviations but what I think you are referring to a TMO is what yeshivish people call a “Baal Habus” they work because they’re not cut out for learning or they married a high maintenance girl

    Believe me when R Avigdor Miller is talking about MO he’s talking about KMOs which qwerty was all upset about and I asked what are they “machmir” on

    “ Still: MO are more machmir on fulfilling metubah obligations of supporting the wives according to their level; educating their children in umanut; supporting Jews in trouble, whether in Israel or in USSR; everyday middos – safe and ehrliche driving, not driving against “one way” signs; learning Torah lishma; understanding Torah in the context of other info which sometimes leads to better understanding of a sugya; kiddush Hashem in their activities in public sphere; avoiding theft and tax problems in business; mesiras nefesh in paying for day schools and shul membership;“

    Sorry for the late reply, I’m having a medical issue (minor) that im dealing with

    Those things are only because of the modern part of modern orthodoxy in other words if those weren’t American values I don’t think modern orthodox would be machmir in those things

    Also “Torah lishmah”? Who are you kidding? The only way to get MO to a shiur is by offering food

    Also regarding driving I know a lot of Modern people that drive recklessly

    “He therefore had disdain for the MO who dress casually. But there’s another reason that’s more to the point. Rabbi Miller felt that rank-and-file Jews should blindly follow their mentors and this isn’t the system in the MO world.“

    Is there any mitzvah chiyuvis that the “MO world” is more machmir than the “Chareidi world” (im saying that because working isnt a מצוה חיובית and neither is ישוב ארץ ישראל while we’re in גלות)

    In other streams of Yiddishkeit there is found things that one is more machmir than the others

    “Basically he repeated what Rabbi Miller said which is that Modern Orthodox Jews are second class citizens.“

    I don’t see that from

    “Absolutely, the Modern Orthodox are our brothers. Absolutely! If a Jew is a שומר מצוות, he tries to keep the mitzvos, then even thought he doesn’t exactly do everything the way we do it, he’s still a brother.”

    But hey you want to see it go ahead

    Btw he “blasts” people sitting in kollel too (in this weeks Toras Avigdor) does that make them “second class citizens”? The answer is no

    “If a neighbor is away on vacation and for some reason hasn’t arranged for someone to shovel, that doesn’t mean the sidewalk should be left a mess. It takes only a few minutes to shovel at least a basic path, its not that hard.“

    And anyone who does so has the right to charge top dollar for their work and the homeowner has to pay for it

    Just because you’re away and didnt do your part in hiring someone doesn’t make you absolved from paying for it

    “Rabbi Miller, who’s beloved in the Charedi world gave a Dvar Torah on Parshas Beshalach (coincidence?) in which he said that regular, meaning Charedi Jews, should stay as far away as possible from the Modern Orthodox because they don’t represent the ideal of what a Jew should be.“

    Im sorry I didn’t realize my innocent question would turn into an argument about some guy being either litvish or chassidish, none of which has any bearing to empire being kosher

    I do know that some people are makpid on chassidish shechita just like Lubavitch wants Lubavitch shcheita just like some people don’t care as long as a frum yid is the Shochet

    “I get up from Shabbos snd check the news and find out he had invaded Venezuela, abducted the president and First Lady“

    Ex-ctl,

    Interesting, it isnt the first time it has happened to a dictator by a president, were you just as upset then? Additionally, Biden offered $25 million for his arrest, so basically you wanted it done, just by someone else?

    “We can live in peace together it is possible“

    Tell that to kibbutz beeri and all those other places that got massacred on October 7, they believed like you that “we can coexist” with the Palestinians

    The reason being is because they are led to believe that Israel is “the little Satan” therefore coexistence is impossible

    “Did he? From memory, R Moshe suggested someone to follow his own Rav on a controversial topic (eruv?) rather than him. He also declined to respond to a sefer that attacked his positions – so that not to make the author lose parnosah.“

    Im not following, R Moshe says it’s muktzeh square root said “ Therefore, even if it were 100% permitted according to Halachah,
    you still would never be permitted to do it by Rabbis.

    The best answer that you could possibly hope for from Rabbis is:

    “It is really permitted, but don’t tell anyone I said that,
    because it might ruin the shidduch chances
    of my children or grandchildren.”

    When it comes to Shabbos, Kashrus and Tznius,
    no amount of chumrahs is ever too much for the Chareidi Rabbis
    because no amount of chumrahs is ever enough for the Chareidi Rabbis.

    So far as they are concerned, the more chumrahs, the better.”

    Aaq,

    “ I don’t think this applies to every rabbi, I am pretty sure Rav Moshe was not holding by himself as such an authority, for example.“

    Yet square root would say it about R Moshe because he’s “overly machmir” in this regard

    And you are NEVER allowed to disagree with them,

    Their word is final, even when they

    “Given these cognitive issues, my suggestion would be to choose an authority – and learn and follow him in everything. If you are following R Elchonon, please teach of more of R Elchonon Torah here, not just on one political issue; find yourself a rav who is a student of R Elchonon, follow him in all your hashkofos – including how you interact with people, ask him shailos – and let us know his answers. Same for Satmar.“

    Aaq,

    Im happy YOU finally agree on something that the anti draft agree on

    The bachurim who are being put in jail are only following their Rosh Hayeshiva and while they’re in Beis Medrash it seems like they follow him on all matters of Halacha so it’s perfectly upright for them to “draft dodge”

    “ Coffee Addict,

    “Happy New Year” was complaining about NOT having daylight savings time during the winter, which results in “loosing” an hour of Friday afternoon.”

    I think the complaint is more the switching between on and off DST so people don’t get used to one way or the other

    That was what changed from 150 years ago
