Chalila,
Is that what I said? Can you show me where I said that?
I said there is no way you can make any sort of honest judgment by what you have read in the media or on blogs.
How you stretched that comment to what you allege is beyond my comprehension.
And it is somewhat troubling how you believe you can make any objective judgment if you are given to such convoluted leaps in this case.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantAnd by the way I presented straight facts, which is the reason you can’t present refutations. Certainly not when you contradict yourself continually on the same thread.
May you be zoche to ????? ????.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantHealth,
Thank you. You proved my point so much more clearly than I could have myself. ? ?????? ?????.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantHealth; “I said I know of only one RY that had this Chumrah!”
No that is not what you said, what you actually said was “It comes from “1” Rosh Hayeshiva -so if you’re his Talmid..”. The emaphasis on 1 is yours, not mine nor from any one else.
Not that you know of one Rosh Hayeshiva, rather that there is only one. Which you are obviously incorrect about.
Besides the OP asked if there is any inyan for saying a gutten erev shabbos, which you eventually turned into someone being megalleh ponim batorah sheloh kehallacha.
Your intolerance of another’s opinion is disturbing. To the point that any small sort of logic you may have had flies right out the window. And it is something you do consistently. On another thread you were already were passuling the geirus of someone based on something you think you saw while eating in a restaurant. And there are a myriad other examples.
Perhaps this midah contributes to your current situation. You should seek help in rectifying it, you may find yourself to be much happier.

I said I don’t know the case and I’m not following it. And I am not making statements as to who did what. Contrary to what you may have claimed before.
I am saying that people making claims about the case when All they know is what they read in media in luring tho blog and others leaves no one with enough information to make an honest assessment. However it it is easier to make an assessment based on existing biases.
I would say less than 1% of what is written in the NYT, NYP or NYDN is true. And what is written on the blogs you seem to be following are even less so. And my guess at percentages is based on instances where I actually witnessed things that were totally misrepresented in those media. Of where I have corresponded with the writers and caught them in numerous blatant lies.
Which is as easy to with them as many of the comments here.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantHealth,
You commented that it is “1” Rosh Yeshiva. Inferring that it is only 1. Shmendrick pointed out how ridiculous that was. You, as seems typical, totally went off a rampage and Connor fathom, let alone accept that you are wrong.
Why would that be?
Can this propensity possibly be affecting your life in many other ways? Have you considered seeking help?
December 9, 2012 4:38 pm at 4:38 pm in reply to: Yasher Koach to Rabbi Horowitz of Project Yes, for protecting and not punishing #912499nishtdayngesheftParticipantZdad,
If you were willing to be honest with yourself you would acknowledge that you just have a unhealthy and unfounded proclivity to assume that chasidic men are wrong.
As is obvious from 98% of your comments.
I wonder if you will being honest with yourself any easier than being honest with others.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantZdad,
There are those who make all sorts of proclamations and it is clear they are living in a fantasy world of their own creation.
Which would explain why they know absolutely everything about every topic. Because they created the world they are living in.
????.
nishtdayngesheftParticipant147,
If you are concerned, return the book and wait to pay full price. The difference is not that great that it is worth such aggravation. I am sure it will be less than the therapy bills.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantJust,
The point is that he wants to change the accepted/ established practice where he “may” be the hazan. Unilaterally. And the justification is because it is an aging Jewish center. So being an aging population is reason to make unilateral change?
Were you being consistent in that concern of yours, that each should follow their established hangagah, you too would chastise him for his chutzpah.
It has nothing to do with wether you say piyutim or not, it has to do with making a unilateral change to suit your current whimsy.
December 4, 2012 3:55 am at 3:55 am in reply to: Yasher Koach to Rabbi Horowitz of Project Yes, for protecting and not punishing #912447nishtdayngesheftParticipantSyag,
Your comment is silly in that you assume that a person has no right to defense. I don’t know this case nor am I following it, but it is quite likely that there a goodly number if people who know this man. And they believe they know him well and know that he could not have done such a thing. They may also know the other side and believe that they are completely likely to have made this up for whatever reason.
In that case it is understandable why he had supporters who are doing what they can to help him.
December 4, 2012 3:47 am at 3:47 am in reply to: Selling a Sefer to a Non-Orthodox "Synagogue" #910390nishtdayngesheftParticipantHappen acne,
Pointing out gross errors or lies are not ad hominem attacks. Neither is calling someone out on a patent falsehood. They are pointing out discrepancies. Referring to proof of your error as ad hominem is deflection.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantR Landeesman was far from the only person who taught safrus. There are still many many people who teach safrus. I would say that he taught a minute percentage of professional sofrim.
Silly comment for you to make.
December 4, 2012 2:34 am at 2:34 am in reply to: please pass along; cars being TOWED from toys r us parking lot!! #1017381nishtdayngesheftParticipantI think Lesschumras should go to court and try to defend Fastway. He was so quick to do it here already.
December 3, 2012 10:20 pm at 10:20 pm in reply to: Selling a Sefer to a Non-Orthodox "Synagogue" #910387nishtdayngesheftParticipantjust my hapence,
rebdaniel has mentioned a number of hashgachas that he eats from (because he “doesn’t paly hashgacha politics”). Those hashgachas do not even require plain glatt, let alone Beis Yosef glatt. Go look at his list, it’s a fact and easy to verify. Perhaps he is sephardi, but apparently he does not follow halacha according to sephardi p’sak.
December 3, 2012 10:05 pm at 10:05 pm in reply to: Selling a Sefer to a Non-Orthodox "Synagogue" #910386nishtdayngesheftParticipantYou say “I spoke with a Hassidishe shochet who trains in ofot and he said that for unmarried men and non-Satmar men, it is enormously difficult to get any work, since Empire and Rubashkin both use Nirbarter hashgacha.”
One of you is lying (Or more likely rthe story is made up). The facts do not support this in the least. (regarding non-satmar) There is a long held minhag not to hire a bochur as a shochet. Nothing to do with Satmar.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantRebdoniel,
Being pompous does not make you sound intelligent nor does it make you correct.
I know a number of people who were certfiable, they were committed to institutions who felt, and insisted everything they said and did was logical. However we know the truth. Their logic, besides other damamge it had done, landed them in an institution.
Same is with you.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantZD,
So don’t drink it. No one is making you drink it.
I don’t hold of coke. It says ???? ??.
December 3, 2012 8:24 pm at 8:24 pm in reply to: Selling a Sefer to a Non-Orthodox "Synagogue" #910378nishtdayngesheftParticipantRN,
I don’t think it is because he is anti, rather I think it is because he is lacking.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantWhy would anyone in their right mind hire you or appoint you when you are intent on doing your own thing. It is the height of chutzpah for you to go somewhere and think you should change the nusach and minhag unilaterally.
Beside the fact that you are singularly mis/uninformed.
December 3, 2012 6:34 pm at 6:34 pm in reply to: Yasher Koach to Rabbi Horowitz of Project Yes, for protecting and not punishing #912440nishtdayngesheftParticipantCertainly insisting that there is no problem eating tolaim is a greater chilul Hashem than a trial in Brooklyn.
Considering that chilul Hashem is based on causing other to be oiver on aveiros.
Also tweeting from the trial is a huge chilul Hashem, in my opinion.
And one has to wonder about someone who’s job is fundraising just to fund his own pocket. Yet using an organizations name and exemption to do so. When this person is providing no benefits for such organization.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantSomething here reminds of a story.
Some fellow dies and goes up to heaven. He sees there are two gates. One with a sign “henpecked husbands” and the other “not henpecked husbands”.
He sees the line for henpecked husbands is unbelievably long. The other line has just one person there, lets call him ??? Lupowitz.
The newly deceased person goes over ??? and says “Mr Lupowitz, you must be a very happy man, you are on this line”.
??? Lupowitz says back “sure, this is where my wife told me to stand”.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantBesalel,
this comment of yours “As eidin zommimim” indicates your level of halachik knowledge. It is obvious to all that it extends in many directions.
Eidim zomimim. Hah. Just looking for a good eidim.
November 16, 2012 1:21 pm at 1:21 pm in reply to: VAS License Plates on a Non-Emergency Vehicle #1031329nishtdayngesheftParticipantThere is a small measure of satisfaction when one makes an observation and it is shown to be completely accurate and spot on just a short while later.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantThe costs of digitizing and coding are borne by Artscroll. The Foundation only pays for specific items, there are a heck of a lot of other substantial costs involved in producing the Shas and other items in the series.
The only reason that the price is as low as it is is because of the costs that are legally allowable to be borne by the Foundation.
And from what I understand, they have this reviewed regulalrly to make sure they are in conformance with laws and regulations.
I am sure that this is just one of many basic things you do not comprehend. The lack of comprehension is the issue, not the matter that you are not comprehending.
November 14, 2012 11:54 pm at 11:54 pm in reply to: VAS License Plates on a Non-Emergency Vehicle #1031321nishtdayngesheftParticipantIt seems someone is broigus that he was not considered by hatzola even though he is a self described expert. Shows me that hatzola certainly has standards. And probably qualifications in addition to just passing an emt course.
All I know is that I see dedicated volunteers that give up of themselves continually and they have saved thousands of lives, all for no pay.
That’s what I have seen with my eyes. What I have also seen are bitter illogical comments by posters who are the same.
There may be things that are not perfect, but in my eyes they are a lot more perfect than you.
November 14, 2012 11:34 pm at 11:34 pm in reply to: Finish the sentence, There's nothing like a good ______! #907343nishtdayngesheftParticipantLine followed by an exclamation point.

2) A list of how little kest parents have to promise, be cause these girls are so special
3) How many applications and interviews you say you have erceived and conducted is important, make sure that checks got cashed.
November 12, 2012 11:11 pm at 11:11 pm in reply to: correct pronunciation for the word r-a-t-i-o-n #906339nishtdayngesheftParticipantDepends if you are using as a noun or verb.
November 12, 2012 4:07 pm at 4:07 pm in reply to: Awkward Situation with Sensitive Information #907028nishtdayngesheftParticipantOldman,
The question is what should someone do in a case where they are aware of such information, not specifically an ex.
The real question is why is RebDoniel so aware of all the particulars with his ex. That seems unhealthy and stalkerish. It seems almost like he is transposing.
November 12, 2012 4:00 pm at 4:00 pm in reply to: Awkward Situation with Sensitive Information #907027nishtdayngesheftParticipant@crisis,
Ironic, no really, moronic. I am sure you would not call yourself heimish and yet you are doing just what you say the “heimishe oilam’ shouldn’t do.
FYI, from the OP’s posts, it is pretty clear that he does not consider himself “heimish”.
But you had to make your silly little remark. How wonderful of you.
November 7, 2012 10:50 am at 10:50 am in reply to: Why do you think the Hurricane Sandy came? #906909nishtdayngesheftParticipantWolf,
Bolding the words does not change that it was not the reason *why* HKB”H sent the hurricane, rather *how* he sent it.
And I apologize about the kofer, to be accurate you said ” Am I a kofer, a ba’al ga’avah or a plain idiot”.
Yes.
November 7, 2012 12:45 am at 12:45 am in reply to: Why do you think the Hurricane Sandy came? #906905nishtdayngesheftParticipantWolf,
Regardless as to why you may be a kofer, the little I know made his/ her statement regarding someone who said they have a definitive reason why the hurricane occurred, which you did not. You said how it happened, not why. It is left to you to explain why you are a kofer, which you seem to be asserting.
November 7, 2012 12:40 am at 12:40 am in reply to: Why do you think the Hurricane Sandy came? #906904nishtdayngesheftParticipantLess chumras,
Do you believe there is a reason for either event?
Do you believe that there is a message, regardless of who was or was not directly affected?
nishtdayngesheftParticipantWolf,
Your response was *how* Hurricane Sandy happened, not *why*.
You did not respond to the OP’s question.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantGarters.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantZdad,
Do you really think it is because of an individual case? Or would it be more likely because of huge groups who think Torah is secondary?
Since you are such a tzadik, why would you have been impacted by the two brothers in YU who arguing in court?
nishtdayngesheftParticipantHapence,
Actually emendation is the correct useage in this case. He did not want to add something new, he wanted to add explanatory information, clearly thinking he was enhancing R Hamberger’s statement.
My remark was directed a specific comment that he made which clearly was not said nor intimated to by R Hamberger. Thus it was an appropriate comment on his addition and the spirit in which it was made.
Using all your talk show radio show words does little to impress me. or anyone else for that matter.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantKeep in miund that there had been significant looting during previous evacuations where the losses from looting were greater than what had happened from the storm.
Perhaps people had been afraid of loorting losses. It is not so easy to judge. Nor is it neccesarily wise.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantHapence.
If a person makes a comment suited for a shikkur, he deserves to be addressed as a shikkur.
You can keep the change.
October 31, 2012 5:46 pm at 5:46 pm in reply to: Hurricane Sandy: Inspiring stories- Yidden helping people not like themselves. #901733nishtdayngesheftParticipantThere are several busunesses in my area that offered space in their large commercial freezers for those without power. Without charge and they did not limit it to those who are their customers.
October 31, 2012 5:39 pm at 5:39 pm in reply to: Heartwarming, inspiring stories of Jewish community #1023303nishtdayngesheftParticipantI don’t want to hijack this thread stared by aurora77, however i wonder what made just my hapence bothered about my comment while remamining mum about zdads? And R Nosson spoke yiddish as well.
Anyway, a beautiful instatnce of Jewsih Communal Life is how the poeple of Kiryas Joel will drop anything for anyone who needs help. There are numerous stories of how they dropped everything to help people stuck on the highways near them, including giving their car to someone to replace a damaged car for someone on the way to the mountains. Without even knowing who the person is.
October 31, 2012 3:22 pm at 3:22 pm in reply to: Heartwarming, inspiring stories of Jewish community #1023296nishtdayngesheftParticipantI have had the zechus of having many different people coming to my house from many places and I was glad that we were able to communicate in a common language of yiddish.
I have also been able to meet many gedolim in eretz yisroel, including R Shlomao Zalman, ZTL and R Chaim Kanievsky Shlita, R Aron Leib Shteinman Shlita and R Refoel Levine Ztl and because I understand Yioddish we were able to talk. The love of fellow yiddin was clearly apparent.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantDanny boy,
Did R Hamberger says that last part, or was that your own emendation?
Because it sounds very low class for a Talmud chochom, perhaps more suited to someone of low class.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantMr. Crisis,
I am fully aware you think you were being sharp. However, I think that you are so wrapped in trying to deny that there can very well be a problem that you would rather deflect than deal with an issue of major proportions.
You are so busy harping that this may be an oral report, I am telling you that an even an alleged oral report is more reliable than anything on HM’s blog, regardless of who purportedly wrote it. HM is a fabricator. Both you and Ham said it was “quoted” on HM’s blog, not that it was written by Shaviv. Make up your mind. I wouldn’t know, I don’t look at his little blog anymore. It apparently is agreed by all that R Pruzansky quoted this study. Do you think R Pruzansky is foolish? Why do you think he mentioned if not because he is concerned and it probably concurs with his observations as well.
As far as the “look how much better we are then them” it seems that almost every one of your posts tries to do just that.
Take a step back, and if you are even a tiny bit as smart as you think you might be, you would see that.
I am not happy with such a report, any such report about any group of yidden disturbs me greatly. I am bothered that there is chilul Shabbos. Talk about “overlooking their own failures” or” a preconceived notion or an existing bias”.
I wonder why you think you were being so sharp, any one of your “Uber” comments seemed to apply more appropriately to yourself.
I know where you were trying to go, I guess I was too many steps ahead of you and you mistakenly thought I have no clue. I guess you think you have money and yichus and that makes up for your simple comments.
October 25, 2012 11:13 pm at 11:13 pm in reply to: Shocking Study of Modern Orthodox OTD Rate #941514nishtdayngesheftParticipantHarry Moraless is about as real as Kosher Ham. He makes things up all the time. And when he is caught red handed it switches to “well even if not exactly true, it could have been”. That you are quoting as proof of anything speaks very little about you.
October 25, 2012 11:11 pm at 11:11 pm in reply to: Shocking Study of Modern Orthodox OTD Rate #941513nishtdayngesheftParticipantCrisis,
I would hope you would hear it in some drashos, it would mean the Rabbonim in your community feel that it is something that needs addressing. This is a major crisis.
October 25, 2012 11:10 pm at 11:10 pm in reply to: Shocking Study of Modern Orthodox OTD Rate #941512nishtdayngesheftParticipantCrisis and Kosher Ham,
Quoting HM as proof of something? What have you been smoking?
As far as you talikng about others “perconceived biases” don’t you think that might be a case of the pot calling the kettle black?
Would you care to look at your last five comments? Or does your “money and yichus” exempt you? Feh to you.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantLove the backpedalling here. Its funny to watch these posters keep tripping themselves up while doing so.
Ha.
nishtdayngesheftParticipantCrisi,
I guess you are referring to your self when you made the following “insightful” comment
