Even our poor today are living a much richer lifestyle than our rich 150 years ago. So if we live a little less richly we can continue the Torah/Kollel lifestyle indefinitely be”h.
A baal teshuva would have this problem multiplied many times over.
The best part of the ’80’s was Ronald Reagan. He has no replacement and is sorely missed.
I pretended I knew nothing about it, and he was never sure I did it.
That reminds me of the time in 10th grade I called a guy in my class up, with a fake serious voice, and pretended to be a NYPD Detective investigating a homicide needing to ask him some questions about his whereabouts the night of the murder. The call lasted about 10 minutes before he caught on.
You plan on selling in the next year what you will now buy? Otherwise your point is irrelevant.
We’ve been hearing about the pending collapse for 50+ years already. It ain’t collapsing.
What makes it mysterious msseeker?
I think you’re misinterpreting the term kalta litvak. All it means is as a comparison to the varemkeit of Chasidus.
You burn some paper and you have ash to dip into.
BSD – One thing I don’t understand is if a posek gave you a psak in this case, what are you trying to accomplish by asking your question here? Are you asking about the sociological pro and cons of suing? You already have the halachic answer it seems.
Using that logic, BSD should never let her child outside on their block or she is a negligent parent, since the block bully who is always outside will surely hit her child.
BSD was absolutely NOT negligent for allowing her child to play by her neighbor, irregardless of that neighbors older brother.
How old are you?
6H is using his ham call sign.
gavra: Levi Aron never claimed to be Chareidi. Even when he wasn’t eating in McDonalds. Bad comparison.
And RSRH was not MO.
BTW, what made Rav Yoshe Ber MO?
Thank You. (I don’t know what for, like the above posters.)
Tradition is a sufficient answer to your question. Even if there are more reasons, tradition alone suffices.
As far as semantics, the reason the term mentally retarded has been replaced by mentally ill or special or whatever is precisely because they had become a slur.
You definitely did the right thing by not showing her your feeling on this decision of hers. 1) No need to make her feel bad 2) It’s her decision that you should respect.
Hatzlocha in moving on.
For example, I think most of us would agree Rav Shachter is not Charaidi.
What makes Rav Shachter not a Chareidi?
yungerman1 – That statement is an assumption of the OP. She didn’t even claim that she asked any posek. She certainly didn’t ask “many poskim”.
always: Why do you take it so seriously?
Well, when an OP opens a thread asking “Why is texting on Shabbos okay?”, I think the concern of OP of this thread (observanteen) is very well founded.
mike: There are no cases of child molesters who are ehrlich. observenteen is right on the money.
yungerman1 – BSD never said any Rov told her it is okay to sue.
coffee addict – If the child wasn’t hurt by another individual but rather on the property, the halachic standard of holding the property owner liable is a higher burden for the claimant. It doesn’t sound like the child fell into an open pothole.
Could someone define dancing?
When you move rhythmically to music i.e. two feet move in tandem.
Why don’t you borrow it and copy it?
If push comes to shove, obviously ask a shaila from a big posek.
Why don’t you ask them permission to file a claim with their homeowners insurance.
coffeeaddict: See that thread. The source is cited there.
20%?!? What are you saying so bad so much??
I wouldn’t recommend using a forum to replace asking halachic or hashkafic questions from your rabbi.
That’s absolutely no excuse. It is offensive that even be used as a defense.
Movies may be worse, but B”H she doesn’t have that problem.
LMA: Like GAW said, the RY’s can decide their criteria. Nevertheless I agree with you that everyone (bar none) has a right to learn in Kollel their entire life. It just that not everyone has a right to the elite Yeshivos. There are many others to choose from.
GAW: Brisk is an elite Yeshiva (to take one example). I don’t think I necessarily agree with your idea that the elite yeshivos are only for future gedolei hador. I would be more inclusive than that. Nevertheless, perhaps as you suggest some of the elite Yeshivos can indeed cater to future gedolim.
Gavra makes a good point about having elite Yeshivos (they actually already exist and always have), as they are better suited for the better learners. Yes, every Jew has a right to learn in Yeshiva. But it isn’t necessarily whichever Yeshiva (i.e. the elite one) that he wishes. He can learn in other good Yeshivos.
A bigger yarmulka would keep it on. Is he getting a smaller yarmulka to make a statement?
What can be done by spending a lot of money? (And how much is a lot?)
In the NY Metro Area, Hatzalah is incomparably faster at any time.
What is there to do at Lake George?
Simply because most Chareidim have big enough yarmulkas that they don’t need a bobby pin. So it is common to see them on the more modern folks. Nothing more than that.
Anthropologists say this condition is unique to the Jewish race.
Was their a difference in the halachic status between the first and subsequent wives? In S”A Even HaEzer does a second marriage constitute a pilegesh, or is a pilegesh another and different (allowed) concept while a second marriage gives the second wife the same status as the first?
Chaim Berlin is Litvish?
They’re going into the water with their Shabbos clothes.
I rely on the chlorine.
