These air bags who portray themselves as some sort of political honchos for the heimishe community, are nothing more than a bunch goof balls who speak for no one but themselves. Time and time again, when they supported some leftist, they are repeatedly embarassed on election day when their candidate gets about 1% of the vote in the heimishe districts.

All they seek, other than fame and attention, is gelt from whichever candidate most enriches them.

That’s only necessary if there is a reason for doubt. (Like Reform marriages in the mix.)

HaRav Karelitz’s geirim are generally uninterested in obtaining Israeli citizenship.

Here’s the letter Rav Shmuel signed:

And, btw, there is a video of Rav Cohen and other rabbonim with 40 yungerleit at the Trenton statehouse protesting the toeiva bill.

Rav Shmuel Kaminetzky later signed that letter after those three Rabbonim signed it. There is another copy of the letter with Rav Shmuel’s signature on that same site. If you can’t find it, I can post the link later. (Can’t easily do links from here.)

Perhaps their version of a “vacht nacht”.

The point is that the average Brooklyn Litvish Yeshiva grad knows better English and math than the average NYC public school grad.

That’s a pretty good compliment for Yeshivas whose main focus is on Torah scholarship.

Rav Miller wrote letters to the editor of the New York Times protesting toeiva. He organized the group “Jews for Morality”. He sent over 20 of his mispallelim out to a public protests against toieva with representitives of other organizations when the NYC Council was considering a “toeiva rights” bill. He advised mispallelim who to vote for. One year he told his mispallelim that he spent Erev Yom Kippur writing letters protesting immorality. Another time he asked people to write letters to the NYC Council protesting a toeive bill under consideration.

I notice that akuperma ONLY posts on threads in the CR when they are one of the top five threads. IOW, the 5 threads that appear on the main page. He never posts on a thread when it isn’t on the top 5, even if someone addresses a comment directly to him. Obviously he never looks at the front page of the CR and only clicks on threads from the main page of YWN.

The cheaper cordless systems use the lower frequency for its handset-to-base (usually in the 900s which are accessible on scanners) because it is cheaper to manafacture lower frequency transmitters and they use less power. (And the handsets use a battery as opposed to the base which has an ac power supply.) You can find out what frequency your cordless system uses by looking up its FCC ID on the bottom of the phone with its FCC regulatory filing on fcc.gov. Its a federal code violation to listen to cell calls but not cordless. (Not that it should be done anyways.)

shmendrik: See Part 1 of my post.

The waitress is an anti-semitic Jew-hater who was letting loose her anti-Jew diatribe in a “polite” manner.

1) The cherem was applied against certain people practicing certain specific practices. a) Those people no longer exist (a cherem does not carry over to as of yet unborn children) and b) those specific practices are no longer practiced by anyone. (Even in the absence of point “b”, point “a” still applies and is sufficient on its own.)

2) The gedolei talmidim of the Gra recognized the error of the cherem in the first place and recognize it is inapplicable. This is evidenced by the fact that the spiritual heirs of the Gra today completely intermarry their children with Chasidim’s children, they learn in Chasidish yeshivos and accept Chasidish bochorim and yungerleit into their Litvish yeshivos, and sit and work with Chasidish Gedolim on Torah and communal matters on the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah and other Torah bodies that are fully integrated with both Chasidish gedolim and Litvish gedolim who are followers of the Vilna Gaon.

Anyone remember Glatt Chow?

What is the proper size (0, 1, 2) haircut for a Ben Torah?

Also, what is the going rate of a haircut? And what is a typical tipping amount?

Ongoing governmental rental assistance is unavailable in most of the U.S. Besides, a poor person should not be thrown out of town since he cannot afford to live in the area and he is G-d forbid told to move elsewhere.

With a kindle or phone you miss the kedusha of the words in the siddur.

Rent (or mortgage) is a killer expense that government does not help with. Section 8 is closed to new receipients, and has been so for well over a decade. (At least in NYC.)

The Noda B’Yehuda paskens that shituf is pure avoda zora even for a goy. Everyone agrees it is avoda zora for a Yid. So, clearly, a Yid cannot go into any church as the shituf they espouse is pure avoda zora for him.

rd: You’re incorrect. The previous Chief Rabbi skipped the wedding (i.e. Church service) of Prince Charles and Diana. Unlike R. Sacks.

zd: And most of the zionists came after WWII and even after ’48.

Which histrocial time period Yushka Pundrik lived in, is not know with certainty by anyone (despite any claims otherwise.) The early Christians fabricated a large portion of their history, especially of their leaders. And during Yushke’s lifetime, he was no one especially notable. Just one of a bunch of tiny cult leaders that were pervasive at that time.

If someone unfolded the New York Times and started reading the business or sports section during Modim, would you feel that no one should be bothered (much like they shouldn’t be bothered by the web surfer during Modim)?

Who said it is looked at differently? It is looked at the same.

Rav Eliashev and others paskened a Get from a husband with this type of prenup constitutes a Get Me’usa, and thus an invalid Get. She remains married to him even after the Get.
