    This comment didn’t pass the mods the last time I posted it, will try again…

    I was chatting to a old ex-Gatesheader about the new Gateshead Rov, he felt that only families who were in Gateshead prior to the Second World War should have a say in the kehilla elections.

    I once had to learn with a boy who was approximately in your son’s position. The boy’s parents sent him to an out of town kollel to try and get him away from things. It was an accomplishment for me if I could get him to learn half an hour in a morning seder.

    If your son is agreeably willing to go to any sort of yeshiva at all you would be crazy to not jump at the opportunity.

    the passuk says when Pinchas killed Zimri and Cosbi – vayakam mitoch ha’edah – he arose from within the congregration.

    Apparently this passuk is superfluous – of course if he killed them they he first arose from within the congregation?

    The passuk says concerning a beis din who are judging cases of corporal punishment – ve’shaftu ha’edah ve’hitzilu ha’edah – the congregation shall condemn and the congregation shall exonerate.

    You see from here that the word edah refers to a beis din.

    The halacha is that haboel aramis kanain pogein bo – if someone has relations with a nachri then a zealot may kill them.

    Therefore Pinchas had first to arise out of the sanhedrin before he could kill Zimri and Cosbi becuase from a perspective of the beis din he could not kill them, he could only kill them as a private individual and as a zealot.

    All these things are pretty much command line utilities that are included in a standard windows install. You could call the exe’s from within the VB app, there are probably fancier ways of doing this though.

    Maybe have a look for command line utilities that will give you the info you need and then figure out how to call them

    “The British Empire (whom we did defeat, we only fought the Arabs to a stalemate – that continues) were collapsing and had recently been evicted from India and were shortly to flee most of their other overseas territories – they were bankrupt and actually quite happy to give up rather than fight for their empire.”

    I am not convinced that he is getting nothing for nothing, so here’s my chakirah;

    1) Is the silver page actually worth $5000

    or

    2) Does the naming of the silver page have nothing to do (direct financial link) with the donation

    i am inclined to say that tzad(1) is correct

    Hageh atzmechah! If you took out an ad in a national paper and then told them, well it just cost you $1000 to print, they would say, forget it, the charge for the ad is $10k

    I am not convinced. Sometimes it is mind blowing to realise that our children don’t see themselves as adults although we do. In that case, the kid is stuck. They know they’re ameant to grow up, but can’t comprehend how this can be possible seeing as they are not adults. Therefore they look for an alternative.

    please ignore if not relevant

    – your son might be happier if you essentially ignore him when he’s home rather than take care of him

    I don’t think the memra of yivdok be’achehah is relevant here, it seems to refer to middos rather than maasim. Rov bonim domim le’achei ha’em dosen’t mean in frumkeit – that’s your responsibility, it means in character. There are significant roshei yeshiva whose siblings are not frum.
