Yeshiva Shaar HaTorah is a yeshiva in Queens, New York that includes a high school and a Beis Medrash Program. It was founded in 1974 by Rabbi Kalman Epstein and Rabbi Shlomo Spitz. Among its illustrious alumni are such great personalities as Rabbi Zev Klein of Toras Moshe and Rabbi Zev Reichman of Yeshivat Rabbeinu Yitzchak Elchanan.
There is the Jerusalem Kollel located in Jerusalem. The Kollel is directed by Rav Yitzchak Berkovits who, in addition to being a leading posek and Jewish thinker, comes with decades of experience in Jewish education and preparing students from different backgrounds for rabbinical and outreach positions.

I think the Camp Director is the one to consult about coming as married staff.

I think Obaminator did my job for me.
Being on a lower level than Rav Matisyahu Salomon Shlita, I go by his pask without question.
This is the ultimate truth. I cannot comprehend how any religious Jew can argue with this idea.
That is one of many examples where our minhag is not to hold like the Rama. Learning in Kollel is the ideal for every religious Jew. With so much pressure from within the Jewish community shaped from outside influences against learning in Kollel, we must hold strong and continue the Mesorah of our forefathers.
Absolutely forbidden. All the activities listed above do not fall under what a Bas Yisroel does.
Idk I think the Poskim discuss it may not be tznius, as it may come to bring a large amount of attention.
Still here
One example I personally know of is a Yeshiva in Jerusalem that is descended from the Slabodka Yeshiva in Europe. The doctrine is that students are cleanshaven until the Rosh Yeshiva feels they are ready to ascend the next level.
They use Nair. It is a chemical depilatory that burns the hair off. The Chazon Ish and other poskim discuss it at length.
Some Sephardim wear tefillin by Mincha for the month of Elul following a tradition from the Ben Ish Chai
Rav Gershon Yankelewitz was born in 1910 and studied under the Chofetz Chaim in the Radin Yeshiva and Rav Yerucham Levovitz in the Mir Yeshiva. He is currently a Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivat Rabbeinu Yitzchak Elchanan and resides in the Bronx section of New York City.

If this can be pulled off, I would feel just like my grandfather forty years ago! But would a feather in the hat be permissible?

Why not light colored suits too?
I think its an act in memory of the days when Brooklyn was mostly farmland
That is what developed over time. If the Gedolei Hador declared that a true Ben-Torah wears a black hat, then that should be enough. Tzitzis can be tucked in and do not even get me started with some Kippahs I have seen with innapropriate logos or statements (not athletic teams mind you). The hat is the most distinguishable feature of a Jew and always will be, especially due to the fact that only Jews wear them today.
Rav Efraim Miskeitner writes that a Jew is identified through internal and external means. In the modern era, the most proper way to be externally Jewish is to wear a black hat.

It is considered a Lithuanian Yeshiva. The former Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Hutner ZT”L, studied in Slabodka and in Hebron. He additionally studied under Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, the Chief Rabbi at the time and a graduate of the Volozhin Yeshiva.
Saw a bumper stick once that said “Feminism – G-d’s gift to nobody”
Though I do not know many who practice this, there is a Chumra to not use deodorant or soap to cleanse ones body because there can be no anointing while the Beis Hamikdash is not standing
I am sure you will make the right choice.
Can I find Rav Wallersteins anti-Facebook shiur on Facebook?
I see so there are two different institutions. Also for another Sfardi yeshiva is Ayelet Hashahar in Eilat led by Rabbi Yossi Rodriguez. I went to check it out a while back and it was a spectacular experience.
Not as much anymore.I especially enjoyed the Lord of the Rings trilogy (though IMHO the books were more entertaining)

Does your son have any options yet?

I do not think the yeshiva is called Chazon Ovadia. It is called Chazon Yaakov after the grandfather of the Rosh Yeshiva Rav Yaakov Yosef.
Chazon Ovadia is a wonderful sefer published by Rav Ovadia Yosef on the laws of Pesach. Rav Yitzchak Yosef is the son of Rav Ovadia Yosef and the brother of Rav Avraham Yosef, the chief rabbi of Holon.
I would assume Hungary
As does Rav Efraim Miskeitner of Bnei Brak. He has written extensively on the human genome and halachic implications involved (specifically gender selection)
Joseph
You always have something to say about how Torah is more important than anything in the world and nothing else supersedes it. I was just guessing some of what you might say…
I am just waiting for Joseph to explain this as: either Derech Eretz only exists because of Torah, Torah only is the best and Derech Eretz Kadmah LaTorah is only according to some minor opinion that no Gadol holds like, or some other eccentric statement.

If G-d forbid my mother goes to the hospital, I should go the shiur I regularly attend than be with the woman who raised me and brought me into this world?
There is a good reason why there is a thread about you and your eccentric thoughts on certain issues.
I consider it piggish when this same klal is meeting up with holocaust deniers and enemies of the Jewish people
I do not think I am allowed to post links, but on Yutorah there is a shiur by Rabbi Rafi Strauss on this exact topic. It should answer all your questions.

May I ask who your Rav was?
Pac-Man
Your words are filled with hate and poison. Its a wonder that someone who disregards his fellow brethren so much can still consider himself a religious jew.
On the movies issue, I think if Rav Moshe says if you go to wear a yamulke, then wear it.
It is the same where I hail from in New Jersey and in different communities in Israel where I have been too (RBS is a well knwon example.)
IMHO what has become the “norm” is to “have fun” in high school and only afterwards do the right thing, despite the fact almost everyone committing these ill acts know its wrong from the start. I do not know where this came about, but many from my high school class and my neighborhood always have done this.
always here
All the hanging out and other actions done at these locations were a result of being far away from parents, though not necessarily one reason. I know firsthand of guys and girls who were “mature” in high school but started down the wrong path once in Israel, usually from bad friends or just plain curiosity on what the other world was like.
There is this idea when being a teenager to be cool and see actors, athletes,and others as role models (despite the fact they live a life of values that are anti-Torah.)But once one matures and sees the emptiness of the hedonistic lifestyle and anti-Torah values, the role models become the appropriate ones. One chavrusa of mine used to have a picture of a movie star known for committing very unethical acts and after he left Israel when to his room and replaced it with a picture of Rav Moshe.

Does anybody know the Yeshiva payphone?
