Yeshivas should focus on procuring a sufficient secular education for their students before anything else.
Before anything else?
Where’s the fire?
I was once at a minyan where a guy actually yelled that out in the middle of davening.
Was that you?
What proportion of liver to onion do you use?
Depends on the size of the onions. I buy bags and they come in random sizes. I usually try to get around 1:1
My wrist kinda floats in the air. Feels very natural to me, never had a problem.
I think there’s a dead mouse in my office somewhere. There have been a lot of flies lately
I was thinking about it last night while I was sauteing it.
I never really understood wrist rests. Or mousepads.
I’ve been using my mouse on my desk without a mousepad for years with no problems.
No I think I’m right.
Google often makes mistakes.
I’ve never heard of a Jewish person becoming a doctor.
Most Jews become FedEx delivery people or gas station attendants.
Occasionally you’ll find a Jewish accountant.
DY, thank you for reminding me. The egg should be from a chicken.
And it is kosher. OR

Can a chalav stam egg cream be bought?
when you are uncertain, you give your spending money, not your tzedaka money.
But why not give that spending money to a verified tzedakah instead? Especially in a case like this where they should have no problem getting a Rov to back it.
Just to add to what Gadolhadorah is saying:
Anyone can easily start a campaign on thechessedfund. Even if all the details of the campaign are true, there’s no way of knowing where the money is going if the campaign is not verified.
No. Music is לא כלום
“Will you marry me” is the simplest way to put the question
What’s wrong with “So nu?”
…someone who chooses to to in kollel…
…able-bodied adult who chooses instead to learn …
…enter long term learning on yenem’s expense…Why are you all assuming that sitting and learning in Kollel is not a tremendous contribution to society?
TLIK
There are big Ba’alei Tzedakah who give tremendous amounts to other causes, but not nearly as much to yeshivos, and it’s not because they’ve run out of money.
Ask anyone who does fundraising for Yeshivos.
People with large familes only have so much extra Tzdekah to give, once they give their Maasar, pay the bills and maybe a little extras, there is little left over
Case in point.
Supporting Limud HaTorah is a charitable cause. You can use your Maaser to support Limud HaTorah.
I don’t see how this:
Our community can boast of countless tzedokos for hachnosas kallah, infertility, medical costs and needs, feeding poor families, and others. There is also a staggering variety of gemachs. Add to that, there are massive amounts of tzedokoh that go on between people that do not involve organizations or publicity.
Implies this:
No one takes being machazik Torah lightly.
The other point that no one has addressed is: Why is more not being done to educate baal habatim on the importance of supporting Limud HaTorah?
e.g. a tool and die maker
Fixed that for you
If you ever plan on getting a second degree, having a degree already can disqualify you from some scholarships/financial aid.
Just something to consider.
Depends what you want to do. You can become a FedEx delivery person, which probably doesn’t require a BA

I was referring to his statements regarding a degree not being a necessity to become a professor
He didn’t say that. He said:
Many professions do not require college degrees
Avi, that statement is simply not true.
ColumbiaGrad17, I’ve looked through everything Avi K has said in this thread and I have no idea what statement you’re responding to.
Some people aren’t cut out for college. Those people shouldn’t be pressured to go to college. There are other options.

Today everybody with access to google or Web MD is an expert
Oh don’t get me started on WebMD.
Did you hear about my cocaine problem?
Not saying it’s right, it’s not, but it’s hard to place all the blame on Drs.
You’re right. My intention was not to place the blame on doctors.
I was just trying to make it clear that patients shouldn’t refrain from taking what the doctor prescribed in an attempt to save the world from mutant bacteria.
Though now that I’m thinking about it, a good doctor should be able to instill confidence into his patients. He should be able to convince a patient that antibiotics are unnecessary, rather than succumb to their request and prescribe irresponsibly.
Is the fault of bacteria mutating to resist antibiotics the result of physicians administering too much antibiotics to patients?
Could be. It definitely doesn’t help.
Sorry, I should rephrase that.
Patients should not use less antibiotics.
Doctors should prescribe less antibiotics.
What can be done to avoid bacteria mutating to resist antibiotics?
Use less antibioticsWhy did the antibiotics cause it to mutate?
Evolution
And how does the new mutation affect others who later develop the bacterial infection but hadn’t previously been treated with the antibiotics?
They become infected with mutated bacteria
I’m not a doctor, but I think the bacteria itself mutates to develop a resistance
My favorite app used to be YWN, but now it’s just a browser without an address bar.
ליהודים היתה אורה ושמחה וששון ויקר
Explain that one
my apologies to whichever of you felt the greater insult
I feel honored, though I would expect RebYid to feel insulted
^ Was this meant for me?
Gadolhadorah
Getting objective and non-judgmental advice on matters of halacha online when you don’t have physical or electronic access to a rav/posek with whom you’ve established a personal relationship Is a lot better than simply not getting any advice.Would you say the same about medical advice? Do think I would have been better off listening to the advice I got from WebMD and checked in to a rehab facility to take care of my cocaine abuse problem just because I wasn’t able to get in touch with an actual doctor?
WebMD gives people a false sense that they have diagnosed their problem, which is most often not true. The same would be true of the website you are suggesting.
(For anyone just tuning in, I don’t actually have a cocaine problem. Though I suppose that’s what someone with a problem would say…)
“Yakar” meant “expensive” way before English came around. It appears numerous times in Mishnayos
Why weren’t you Zusha?
Gadolhadorah
What you’re suggesting is a WebMD-type site to replace Rabbonim.
I was once having jaw pains and WebMD led me to believe that it was due to cocaine abuse.
WebMD was a horrible idea, as is yours.
Was supposed to be 12,202 in 2016. Then everything makes sense
Without a marriage license, the husband’s income is excluded from the eligibility calculation
Is that true? I wouldn’t be so sure
Or maybe a global raising of atmospheric pressure
zahavasdad,
That’s only after you’ve given $5.45 million in gifts in your lifetime (not including the first $14,000 of each gift).
If I were to give you $1 Million today, neither you nor I would have to pay taxes on that money.
This info is very clear on the IRS website as well as TurboTax
Mdg,
They can give a lot more than that. Read my last post
