When there is a conflict between the Torah laws and secular laws, Torah laws prevails over dina dmalchusa. (Otherwise you could discard most of the Torah.)
Yank – Areivim Kol Yisroel Zeh Lzeh. WIY is absolutely doing the right thing about worrying about his brothers and sisters spiritual welfare.
When Mosh uses the term ‘blog’ I believe he means thread; and is suggesting to keep the discussion in one place at:
shlomozalman: How sweet. A koton reprimand a godol? Well, considering your previous praise of apikorsum professor’s for their Biblical criticism disputing what Rishonim and Achronim said, it actually figures.
“People are convicted on things other than concrete evidence ALL the time, make no mistake about that.”
In goyishe courts. That is antithetical to Torah Judaism and its laws for its courts and evidence.
“As to reputation – once someone has been accused, his/her reputation has gone to the dogs, no matter what truth comes out in the end, especially where molestation is concerned. People usually believe the old adage that “where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” and iof it was not true this time, it probably was true at SOME time.”
Which is exactly why we must tread carefully before false accusations of this crime are hurled at the innocent.
bomb: Are you reprimanding the gedolim who said no?
popa, I was sure you would’ve done that “let me google it for you” shtick.
You are supposed to make a Melave Malka by washing hamotzi and eating a meal.
Why didn’t the Zionist authors of this prayer include in it the Yeshivaleit in Eretz Yisroel who are doing much more than the Tzahal by their learning Torah all day, which provides for the safety of Eretz Yisroel?

charliehall – Is that the same rabbi who told her abortion is okay?
Can anyone with experience dealing with it, describe some of the symptoms of Asperger’s?
Also, as I understand people who have it can be a genius with an intense focus and expert knowledge in a field.
laguy: If you see it, it doesn’t make it okay. The problem is not what Jews do, but what Judaism says. Jews are imperfect – we know that and accept it – but Judaism is perfect, and unchangeable. We do not make over G-d in our own image.

While y’all were debating the merits and demerits of nationalized healthcare or the virtuousness of taxes, y’all forgot the OP had a question that hasn’t been answered.
Asperger’s syndrome is high-functioning autism.
Reb Yaakov said the Jewish Press should not be taken out of a bathroom.
CRC, based in New York, is the Hisachdus HaRabbonim (Central Rabbinical Congress of the U.S. & Canada). They are affiliated with the Badatz in Yerushlayim and have a Beis Din, one of the most reliable hechsheirim, and other functions. Who is the other one in Chicago?
I believe their are rabbis that cater to their needs.
SJS, perhaps you overlooked this part:
“There is also a severe prohibition from the Torah in close friendships between a young man and woman.”
No posek disputes Rav Moshe on this. (The only question is whether it is m’doraysa like Rav Moshe paskens based on Rambam, or if it is like Ramban that rather than m’doraysa it is “only” a severe rabbinic prohibition, which even according to this shitta is still punished with rabbinic flogging.)
Aishes-Chayil-in-training & mdd –
Teshuva is fully mechaper either one equally. If the FORMERLY immoral person, did TESHUVA b’meheiro, why are you discriminating against him/her?
Sounds the same as the complaint against discriminating against a Baal TESHUVA.
Behead all murderers.
Sacrilege:
Which part do you find to be unfortunate? The part that R’ Shmuel wouldn’t approve of it; or the part that you do it? I would hope the latter. If so, there is room for change.
Sacrilege:
R’ Shmuel Berenbaum would not approve of you shaking a man’s hand.
I’m a perfectionist.
B”H, the Gerrer Rebbe — a member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah — has implemented these takanos and minhagei yisroel, that work so well in the community.
Here is Rav Avigdor Miller ztl’s advice from his Sefer:
A Beis Yaakov girl should be wed soon after or before graduation. Every day after she leaves the Beth Jacob marks another step away from idealism, for the street and the office and the secular school have an unfailing effect which increases from day to day.
aries, try not to be so judgemental. There are reasons why a R”Y would give a heter, so lets not try to pretend we know of all of them. And certainly lets not discount ones words, when youu know little of him.
mosherose previously addressed his internet use, with his Rosh Yeshiva permitted it with filtering.
Having said that, there are limits and there are mussar concepts like prishus and others which may faintly hint at what the OP wrote. But this must be approached with extreme caution and with the guidance of a wise Rebbi or Rav, and not on one’s own due to a svara that if it was good for Avraham Avinu (assuming that was pshat) then it’s good for me. And one must be certain to not cause tzaar to one’s spouse, CH”V.
I think HaKatan put it well, perhaps understanding the OP’s intent.
What would Rav Elyashev do? Would Rav Elyashev allow his children to browse a public library?
Answer that and you’re on your way to an answer.
popa, the Torah says animals were created BEFORE man.
I agree with everything artchill said above. Orthodox Jewry needs a public spokesman of Rabbi Levin’s caliber. Unafraid of speaking the emes. Even if that means stepping on people’s toes. And even if it is unpopular in certain segments of the population. And even if it doesn’t help him win any popularity contests. And even when the emes is rough.
I recall a story of some godol who accepted money from the tziyonim for his Yeshiva. There were protesters outside protesting this. His talmidim told him how wrong it was for them to be mevaze him and the Yeshiva by protesting. He answered his talmidim, that while it is a necessary evil for him to take the money, he is glad the protesters are protesting because it isn’t 100% correct, and if the’re weren’t any protests outside, he would have to hire protesters himself to protest taking that money!
We need Rabbi Levin.
WIY: His views on gays are probably more extreme then theirs!
The Torah’s views are even more extreme. As in execution. Death. Stoning. Rabbi Levin hasn’t been calling for that, so perhaps he can be properly characterized as not extreme enough on this issue.
Agudah is not above reproach. They are a lay organization. Criticism of Agudah, aside from having been often done by Rabbonim, is not a criticism of the Rabbonim affiliated with Agudah, but rather a criticism of the lay leadership of Agudah. (And, no, the lay leaders of Agudah do NOT necessarily ask the Moetzei for approval of every press release they issue or everything they otherwise do.)
You DEFINITLY do NOT need a college degree these days to succeed in parnasa.
Conservative and Reform are not Judaism. Their so-called synagogues are nothing but foreign churches. Whether you are “in favor of it” or not. It is not I who has cast aspersions on these foreign beliefs — it is the leaders of true Jewry that has. It isn’t a matter of lifestyle, but rather of the law given to Moses. You are Jewish, but you are not practicing Judaism.
Being frum is an option for everyone.
What is your view on the matter (if you take a position)?
squeak, its not “considered” acceptable to implement, or it isn’t acceptable to implement?
