nor are we debating where jeans originated.
More than one folk (charliehall and mikehall) are arguing in favor of jeans because a (frei) Jew started the company.
Levi Strauss was just as Jewish as Bernie Madoff.
When the Supreme Court refuses to hear a case, it means it agrees with a lower court decision .
That isn’t correct.
WB ZK.
In the end it would go to the Supreme Court in front of 9 justices.
The Supreme Court refuses to hear most cases submitted to it.
Candy Land
that dont require too much brainpower
Chutes & Ladders
I’m bord of all games.
That pretty much sums up that you agree it is immodest to view.
chaplain: shimen is a grandfather many times over and nor am I very young. And the “black hat sheltered life” you derisively decry has a far lower otd rate that the non-black hat/sheltered. Yes, chaplain, sheltering works and intermingling is throwing the dice with your and your children’s spiritual lives.
Like Sinai, it can work.
Background image? The default single color.
Ring? The default ring… ring…
Nu, what does this say?
unless it’s the ENTIRE Land.
As I said, then its a go. If they will give peace for the entire land, give it to them. We live under non-Jewish rule in the U.S., and we’ve lived under non-Jewish rule in the Holy Land. If, as AinOhdMilvado indicated, they will realistically give peace for the entire land, do it.
I said if it results in peace.
OC: I’m willing to sacrifice 100% if it will result in peace.
Michtavim U’Maamaromim Volume 1, Letter 8 is one of the places I believe he mentions this.
Rav Shach, amongst others, supported land for peace.
Daas: I’m just asking a question. Does your standards of modesty preclude a Jewish man from viewing a photo of a woman in pants?
I think Israel should give land for peace.
The Gedolim also think so.
HaLeiVi: Even if that is the case, it is still chasaron that someone dresses inappropriately to enhance her appeal, she hopes, in finding a shidduch. It is not justifiable by any means.
Aside from the lack of modesty (their standards, not mine)
Daas: You don’t find it immodest for a Jewish man to view a photo of a woman wearing pants?
I do.
Everyone passes on their zchusim to their children and grandchildren.
Great Tzadikim have more zchusim to pass on.
deiyezooger: I heard about this.
Did any of the frum candidates lose? I understand they all won. So apparently the intimidation didn’t work. Nevertheless, it should be severely investigated.
That’s painful to contemplate. How can one write off even one day of Yeshiva?

Is it the sunlight, or any light (going through a prism)?

Almost.
A kaleidoscope.
chaplain: Actually that intermingling you describe is far more likely to cause children to go otd, than the separation that you decry.
y.p: Are you volunteering to do the programming work to implement this feature?
It has to be at the expense of something else… unless you’re positing two candidates that are otherwise completely equal.
In which case any consideration must be at the expense of something else… so you take nothing into consideration (except, perhaps, one factor to the exclusion of all else)?
And how is that relevant to how spouses are chosen today?
It’s relevant to those whose parents choose their spouse today.
Who picked a wife for Yitzchok Avinu?
ICOT: When are you cruel?
If the name redt is clearly not suitable, what purpose would there be to mention it?
OC: I’m sorry if you object to the halacha or what the Rabbonim said. But I answered your question three times and you keep re-asking it, so you apparently don’t like what you are hearing. For the final time, they said it must ALWAYS be covered under ALL situations irregardless of how long it needs to be to reach that objective. (Regarding highly unusual heavy winds, you are not held responsible for something that you couldn’t anticipate.) But it must ALWAYS cover you when sitting, walking stairs, entering a car, and every other daily situation.
As far as the inches, there is no hard halachic number. Some people will need even more than 4″. They simply stipulated that it should ALWAYS cover you at ALL times throughout the day, every day. YOU said earlier (see your comment beginning with “Im not denying anything”) that you need at least 4″ to reach this point. Some Rabbonim may tell you a specific number that is minimally necessary to insure full coverage at ALL times and others will simply tell YOU to make sure it is covered at ALL times and have you figure out how many additional inches below the knee is necessary to achieve that goal.
Wolf: Is that your honest self-view? And are your views “unconventional” in the Coffee Room or in the social circles in your real life?
Skinny people are also unhealthy.
We are all entitled to our quirks.
Truth, Justice, and the American Way.
Moshiach is going to be from Ben Dovid. Pretty good yichus.
OC: I specified that they stipulated that it must cover the knees in ALL positions irregardless of the amount of inches below the knee, be it 4″, 3″, or 6″. I simply indicated — and you agreed — that for most people 4″ is minimally needed to reach that threshold.
Will less than 4″ ALWAYS cover the knees when sitting, walking stairs, and entering/exiting a vehicle? You’ve indicated above not. The Rabbonim, including all three that you’ve named, indicated that it must.
Just an Optical Illusion
In colors I’m various
A cameleon in change;
Through stars, crowns and diamonds
I take a wide range:
Then, leaving the treasures
Of nobles and kings,
I turn me to flowers,
And humbler things.
I’m uniform always
And that you’ll think strange;
For one so capricious,
An instant will change.
What am I?
Of course it is a maaleh. Some things it takes precedence over, while some other things takes precedence over it.
I think it is the Mesilas Yeshorim that says that a slight bit of letzanus can contradict one hundred proofs.
Yes, Wolf and gavra, three weeks can undo 12 years.
I’m sure others will remember Chazal’s (?) admonishin of something to the effect that one piece of letzanus can undo years of proper training. The same principle would here apply.
(And we haven’t even yet discussed the the “deterrence” effect on other by seriously punishing the wrongdoer.)
It only takes a moment to negatively influence. 3 weeks? A world of untold damage can take place.
And he may influence others that shmoozing with a girl is okay.
Hi adorable: You wrote: “I dont want to go back because as you all said what is done is done. but I would not like to “dirty” myself anymore.”
But earlier you wrote: “I made up my mind not to go onto those sites anymore online so there is no “new” info coming in to me, but its still all there!”
The two seem to conflict. What are you trying to accomplish?
aries: The entire class (and countless others in the school) can be at risk of severe negative influence if a student who engages in highly inappropriate actions is allowed to remain in class.
Ofcourse: Yes.
z’sdad: If a child in a Yeshiva goes on a date, expulsion is most certainly warranted.
I think an introvert/extrovert spousal relationship compliments one another.
