Chofetz Chaim. A wonderful place with wonderful Rebbeim that will only elevate the level of yiddishkeit in your son.

Rav Herschel Schachter and Rav Yisroel Belsky both wear Techelet
Sdei Chemed Internationl. It is a camp that travels around Israel. It has male and female programs for ages 12-18 for boys (Idk for girls).
It does not change everything. You consistently bash YU, mainly utilizing its club for those with strange desires. Whether or not the Touro one was a result of liberal pressure, it still stands that it exists on a Touro College campus.

“I was talking about sanctioned violations of Halacha, like they do in YU. Eg. Forums about students and others whom have strange desires. “
I think its funny how you make a blatant statement like that without considering that Touro College has something very similar. Its called the Touro University Gay-Straight Alliance (you can see more on it on Wikipedia or other websites.) Seems like YU being singled out about this is not exactly fair.

You said “Rabbi, Dr. Lander A’H, is the one whom instituted all policies in any Touro school. These are all acc. to Halacha. The school carries on his tradition to this day.”

Must I follow the Satmar Rebbe’s interpretation in everything? If my Lithuanian Rosh Yeshiva allows me to shave, does that mean I am violating the Torah since the Satmar Rebbe forbids it?
As we both know, there are seventy faces of the Torah. You and I can follow different faces, yet the same Torah.

With all due respect, I think the response of ultrajew94 was directed at me.
I sincerely ask for Mechila ultrajew94. I had a rotten day at my daily occupation.
Also you claim you do not know the transformers theme song, yet you do recognize that my name is from it? Very interesting…

Instead of Gelt this year, I think you should get a life.
Please make sure to make a blessing before and after consuming your beverage!

Yes come on aries2756! Were you not taught that child molestation in the Orthodox community must not be spoken of in public and, instead, shoved under the rug?

Because they promote Sinas Chinam
On an additional note, both are accommodating to religious Jews for Yom Tovim. There are no classes on Chol Hamoed or any other days of Yom Tov.
So now that the NBA lockout is over, Bitul Torah will be on the rise. Wonderful.

Concerning Zionists in Eretz Yisrael, it was a Machlokes between the Brisker Rav and the Chazon Ish. Rabbi Chaim Yaakov Goldvicht asked both Gedolei HaDor if he would be allowed to open up a yeshiva (today it is Yeshivat Kerem B’Yavneh) for the Zionists. The Brisker Rav held they were the same as one who is not Jewish. The Chazon Ish, alternatively, held they were tinok shenishba and allowed the yeshiva to open up.
I also forgot to add Rav Moshe Meiselman from Yeshivas Toras Moshe in Jerusalem. Not only is he a Talmud Chacham, but he is also one of the largest challengers against Rabbi Natan Slifkin. I heard he is coming out with a new book that specifically challenges statements made by Rabbi Slifkin.
A nutritionist or a dietitian.

If the Rabbonim do not support it, then it must not wrong. Perhaps the latter case you mentioned was under special circumstances, of which you were not told.
There is a common saying among police officers. It is “if you cannot take the heat, get out of the kitchen.” Perhaps these souls go otd because being a religious jew is too much of a burden in today’s world. However much it is said, though, the Rabbonim are not to blame.

I do not know why Rav Hutner did it, but the fact that he hardly ever mentioned Rav Kook in Yeshiva or in any of his works clearly sends a message of some sort of rift. You honestly believe that Rav Hutner’s Succah was so small he could have only fit the Chazon Ish and not Rav Kook? Please…
Jothar
It was said that Rav Yisroel Elya Weintraub, a student of Rav Hutner, wrote that Rav Kook was “grabbed by the Sitra Achra.”
I am certainly lower than Rav Kook, Rav Hutner, and Rav Weintraub. But it seems that there was some sort of rift between Rav Kook and his former student.

Rav Kook taught Rav Hutner in his earlier years studying in Eretz Yisrael. As time went on, Rav Hutner distanced himself from Rav Kook and his ideas (including Zionism). An example of this is when Rav Hutner halted the practice of hanging up a picture of Rav Kook in his Succah. He replaced it with a picture of the Chazon Ish in order to show he did not support the Zionism that followers of Rav Kook promoted.
In fact, there are no seforim by Rav Kook in Yeshivas Rabbeinu Chaim Berlin. While Rav Kook was certainly an influence on Rav Hutner as a student, he did not continue these ideals when he became Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivas Rabbeinu Chaim Berlin.

Welcome back Joseph. Its been a while.
Try to ensure that the one person you are concentrating on in the audience is not male. It is unbecoming of a religious Jewish male to attend such an event.
Absolutely forbidden unless granted permission by the Gedolei HaDor.
Absolutely forbidden.
I personally enjoy Marlboro. Their marketing campaign is one of the most successful marketing campaigns in history.
Absolutely forbidden unless the rabbi in question is Zionist or Modern Orthodox
From Wikipedia
“After the publication of his book The Dignity of Difference, a group of Haredi rabbis, most notably Rabbis Yosef Shalom Elyashiv and Bezalel Rakow, accused Sacks of heresy against traditional Orthodox viewpoint. According to them, some words seemed to imply an endorsement of pure relativism between religions, and that Judaism is not the sole true religion, e.g. “No one creed has a monopoly on spiritual truth”. This led him to rephrase more clearly some sentences in the book for its second edition, though he refused to recall books already in the stores.[13]”
On a personal note, I think highly of him and read his articles frequently.

Always a pleasure to hear positive feedback.

I resent that. Why am I not allowed to put in my two cents?
Absolutely forbidden.
Denim jeans are forbidden. If you want your son to stay in the Jewish community and raise a religious family, I highly suggest you incinerate the evil attire he brought home.
I think its better to have a Father-Son Learning Event than playing a silly sport. Torah, and not basketball, makes the world go round.
If it was banned, then why didn’t YWN report it?
Absolutely forbidden. It should be avoided at all costs if you want to get a religious woman as a Shidduch.
We must rid our communities of this evil practice. I think the Gedolim should ban women to look pretty so everyone will be the same.
Perhaps an ob/gyn specialty in a medical field will suffice. This can be done as a nurse practitioner or a physician’s assistant.
You can use a live webcam with Skype. Anyone you call on Skype can see the wedding.
I still think it is exceptional you are doing so much in order to learn Torah in Eretz Yisroel.
Perhaps you can work in the Yeshiva as a kitchen boy or something in that category. A friend of mine is currently employed as a waiter for Shabbos meals in a Yeshiva in New York City. While he cannot go home for the weekends as much as the other students, he does pay a lower amount of tuition.
You were excepted? Well you must be an exceptional person.
I sincerely apologize Toi. I did not realize you were making decisions for the OP. Next time I shall respond to Toi and only Toi.
