You will note that no one else had written such a low ball figure.
it speaks to a certain mindset.
One has to respect Rabbeim and Teachers. That is who does professional tutoring.
It was clear that he was guessing and had not actually ever inquired because he “guessed” what the going rate is. Which is not supported by facts.
“
Sephardim have their own version of “Yiddish” Its called Ladino”
1) But it’s not Yiddish. How does this conflict with the poster’s statement. If you just want to tell us about Ladino, the overwhelming majority of people here know that as well as you.
2) Ladino is hardly used now as opposed to Yiddish which is thriving in many places.
$25 for a professional tutor?
A) What planet are you living on?
B) You would have a the chutzpah to offer so little to a professional?
You know it was offered by him and not requested by the tutor?
It’s not a Shabbos refrigerator, it is a switch for the fridge. It turns off some of the automatic cycles of the fridge to prevent chilul Shabbos.
Frum Jews live an many other places other than just New York. And many have Chaplaincy positions in many “Out of Town” communities.
Jfem,
Most of twhat they do and define as “Tikkun Olam” is very far from chesed at all, let alone true chesed.
“For instance, they do chessed extremely well. “
I am not sure if much what they do is actually chessed.
In addition, any Rov who I have known is constantly involved in chesed of all types.
There is a reason why people are constantly speaking to them, it is not only matters of Halacha.
I would say even Avi Weiss, who is a problem, still does more chessd than reform rabbis, although it is tempered by the michsholim he causes.
(Some of his activist talmidim, on the other hand, do no chessed at all, they actively seek to harm frum yidden and communities)
ZD,
“many if not most chaplains in hospitals and nursing homes are reform clergy-people “
Where do you get your statistics from?
Is that more than Christian chaplains?
Are the reform also the Moslem chaplains?
In new York a very large percentage of the Jewish Chaplains are in fact Orthodox. This is from my observations and a good number of institutions.
“Many countries have had Jewish heads of government or heads of state, and in most cases there were no issues. Leon Blum may have been an exception; he was a Jewish socialist and the anti-Semites of the political Right preferred Nazi rule to the Blum’s Popular Front. But Blum was not religious. “
While many of the aforementioned were possibly Jewish and likely aligned with the OO mentality, the OP’s question was about Halachic issues for a Frum president.
“Leom Blum was Prime Minister of France in the 1930’s
Benjamin Disraeli whose parents converted to christianity when he was 12, was prime minister of Great Britain in the 1870’s . Even though he lived as a christian, he would speak about his jewish roots “
And which one was frum?
“SHould the male president really not shake the hand of Angela Merkal (Germany) or Theresa May (UK)? “
If he is keeping halacha.
The question is what halachic issues would there be for a frum president.
“however for Asians, Pork is very much a staple in their diet.”
So?
Do the Asians feed pork to Muslim heads of state?
What point are you trying to make?
Lakewood auto sales has very good reputation.
The M”B says that although the five inuyim other than eating are not ossur on all fasts, a bal nefesh should be machmir.
Charlie,
Even on a fast you chug the Kool Ade?
Sam,
“No MO school takes Non-Jews.”
Not supported by the facts.
“but MO Schools under Torah Umesorah” MO Schools are under Torah Umesorah?
And even if some are, many, if not most are not. You thereby disproved your first comment.
“No MO school takes Non-Jews.”

Sam,
MO = Modus Operandi. Typical Modus Operandi of Charlie. And Typical of the OO.
CT,
Now it is you who has blown it. No one would call any of the incidents you cited “Car Accidents”.
You are misconstruing incidents where there was an “accident” and a car was somewhere in the story to be a “car accident”.
“So liberals kill more than six million people around the world every year? ‘
Absolutely. Without question they do.
1.2 Million alone from AIDS.
“No one, absolutely no one, is as bad as Crooked Hillary Rotten Clinton. “
Well quite probably the people who claim that OO is Orthodox and the leaders of that Farce of a movement are as dishonest.
Both are much more evilly dishonest than even Donald Trump.
Charlie,
You, yet again, have been caught in a “liar, Liar, Pants on Fire” lie.
All your liberal twisting and obfuscating does not hide that.
It is your typical MO, and typical of OO.
You that there are certain groups who think negia is only a chumra and are not willing to accept such chumras.
I don’t believe anyone was saying not to seek help when neccesary.
However, feeling down at one point does not mean that professional help is neccesary and doing something cheerful can work fine. M
It is when the depression is lingering or interferes with leading life, even if it feels that way that outside help is warranted.
But a suggestion to do some something calming or enjoyable is not the worst advice ever.
And it is arrogant to make such a comment.
And I am not talking without having known people who were suffering mental illness and needed professional help.
ZD,
1) Cant you write your own posts without having a moderator write it for you?
I try to extend the same editing courtesy to him that I do for you
2) It is an appropriate comment when you initial screed was “this is the worst advice ever”. Which is untrue.
ZD and Charlie,
What is absolutely criminal is that you two clearly incompetents are diagnosing someone with clinical depression based on one sentence. One sentence, that I may add, does not have indicators of clinical depression.
Clinical depression is an illness, feeling down at times is not.
You don’t put someone on heavy medications just for feeling down or upset at times. That is part of normal human range of emotions.
ROB,
He was talking about frum people, or non frum who were going to come either way, so coming by public transport is better?
Are you sure if it is so distant that there is no problem of tchum?
tzee – rel
Is the closest.
But the truth is, it shout be like the I in in “it” instead of “ee”.
Based on the way I have heard several individuals with the name pronounce it.
I’ve drunk the kook aid? I said Trump is not good. You say the person who is the most corrupt individual running for national office in recent history is good.
She is terrible, dishonest and hugely corrupt.
Illegally setting a personal email server to hide what she was doing?
Deleting emails? (Why is that different from shredding and burning tapes?)
Pay for play wth the Clinton Foundation? (Which, by its own admission filed incorrect 990s which it will not amend).
Ex parte communication with the Attorney General supposedly looking into her illegal acts?
You’ve gone far beyond just sipping Kool Ade.
Frankly, I don’t think there is a word Hillary or her rabid supporters, like you, say that may contain any honesty.
“the response is namecalling. What I said is truth and you know it.”
Continue deluding yourself. It wasn’t worth the effort to go through to disprove your nonsense on a one by one basis.
Bringing in Avi Weiss was just to show how deluded you are.
Typical of Charlie Hall to support te most fraudulent person to run for President in recent history.
Trump is not great, but he is not nearly as fraudulent as Hillary.
Calling her honest is like Calling OO frum and Torah observant.
Completely and obviously utter contradictions.
“There certainly IS such a question. The Modern Orthodox and Dati Leumi worlds never adopted the Kollel for Everyone system and are doing fine. They also aren’t requiring massive government subsidies for their survival.”
Horse feathers. All of it.
And your system is an anti halachic system hat says Mazel tov to homosexual weddings and actually does what it can to disrupt frum communities.
No frum Rov supports any of the actions of Avi Weiss and his Sychophants.
ZD,
But they’ve been sued for not accommodating frum people.
So you you see that gender separate hours is not considered discrimination, while exclusion based on religion is.
You’ve done a fine job of disproving yourself.
I wonder why the people who are so gung-ho about these fellows participating in a reality show, ( and it appears that some of the judges are attired less than modestly) and were horrified when a couple from Boro park had their case heard in a reality court show as a favor for the defendant whose costs would then be covered.
The people who feel that this participation is inappropriate also felt that being on a the court show was not a good thing.
“They are”
Wrong. Completely and utterly wrong.
Besides the “Y” gets public grants.
Charlie,
What Jewish libraries are there? If you would live in a Jewish area, you would know. There are many.
Jewish welfare agencies that get government funding, provide help on a non sectarian basis. (perhaps yours don’t, but the many I’ve dealt with do. No not as a consumer for you and ZD).
The same for your lie that it costs more to provide special education in Jeeish settings than it costs the public schools. It is a gross lie. Your claim is Horse feathers.
It’s all missing the point.
These people are tax payers like everyone else. They also live in the area this pool services. There is nothing illegal about having seperate hours.
There is nothing in the law that says the pool has to be available for everyone at every time.
ZD,
You get all riled up when you imagine that people might be telling you what to do.
Well that’s all you’re doing here. Telling who to build neighborhood pools with their money. Telling peopl where they should go.
If I weren’t nice, I would cal you a blazing hypocrite. It’s a good thing that I am nice.
Charlie,
You have not been so generous in your acceptance of R Pruzansky’s statements in the past.
There is no question that Avi Weis is now a ???? ?????? and no longer deserves the title Rabbi. He himself has stepped down from the position and is no longer welcome as a member in the largest MO rabbinic assembly. The IRF is an organization that causes ??????.
It is a mitzvah to belittle the actions of Avi Weiss which are so detrimental to yiddishkeit and Israel as well.
“How, then, does Mr. Weiss from HIR create new halachas? “
Actually, a more apt description is that Mr. Weiss just ignores halacha, period.
If one would actually read the Teshuva, one would see that it is not what Avi K says it says.
I went through the teshuva and “Machines” is only mentioned in passing along with medicine.
Interesting what Charlie considers novelty, the fact that here is ncreasing limmud Hatorah.
On the other hand, he apparently believes that support of Gay Marriage and promotion of lifestyles defines by the Torah as ????? is long established Mesorah.
ZD,
I’ve never seen a picture of R Moshe or R Yaakov or R Elyashiv or R Shteinman wearing Jeans. Nor any of the many Rebbes.
You can decide who you feel it is appropriate to emulate.
A survey’s results are only meaningful if the survey is legitimate.
It is very easy to craft a survey to show exactly what you want it to and then it will be reported on by all the sycophants who wanted to see the same results. (As the expression goes, there are lies, damned lies and statistics)
R Fisher did not just dismiss the survey out of hand, he demonstrated its overarching flaws.
so did you see the actual letter?
ZD,
Did you see the actual letter? Where did you get the language that you included in your post?
CA,
There really is no reason why it wouldn’t be deductible.
As far as a dinner goes, when there is a benefit to the donor, there is supposed to be notification of the non deductible portion On either the solicitation or the receipt. (Unless it is a de minimus amount)
There is a specific question about compliance with this on the 990.
ZD,
What do YOU think is a better use? The charitable donors clearly felt otherwise.
