    If the mods are going to so rarely approve comments to the CR maybe it’s time to do away with them. A CR by definition is a place where people throw around opinions. The way it is being run now defeats the sentiment. Maybe let people shmooze and if it gets out of hand then the mods can make some sense of order.

    People donate sifrei Torah to a shul because they want their loved ones to be remembered in that specific shul. Sometimes they actually remain the property of the donor and they’re kept there for use at certain occasions and when the donor moves away they take it with them. Nobody has a right to just transfer a sefer Torah.

    All of the imported stuff used to be manafactured locally and people had jobs. All the people who make their living from the imported goods industry can manufacture domestically.

    Tariffs ensure that manafacturing comes back to the States and it creates American jobs.

    The law is that if you are in an accident you get a police report and send all the information to the insurance company. I’m not talking about kissing a bumper. When I owned a car I paid for full coverage . When I rent I pay for full coverage. Not because I lack confidence in my own driving ability, but because I don’t trust you. Seichel says to let the insurance companies work out the details. Auto body shops won’t wait for a B”D to decide things.

    I agree with you 100%. We are required by law in every State to have insurance. The insurance companies (at least in my view) are our arbitrators that by purchasing insurance we accept that they will take care of things for us.

    I don’t use deceit. I also don’t know what was “wordy” about what I said. I shared my personal experience. If they told me that I can’t enter wearing shoes I’d skip it entirely. The minhag of taking off shoes at kivrei tzaddikim is a regional thing. If you would go to Anipoli Where the Mezritcher Maggid and the Rebbe Reb Zisha are buried there’s a shul there with a sefer that talks about it. At one time all of the Volhiner chassidusen had that minhag. I guess Poland, Galicia, and Hungary didn’t have that minhag.

    @philosopher

    The evolution of the havarah is related somewhat to the local languages spoken in different areas. Languages spoken has different accents and inflections. It’s not a Chassidishe issue as @Reb Eliezer would probably confirm that his Rabbeim the Rabbonim of Mattersdorf who weren’t at all chassidish yet had a very distinct Hungarian havarah.

    The Netziv was ONE Rosh Yeshiva. Arguably the biggest of all time. It’s nice of you to choose him (albeit without bringing a source) while omitting all the other great Roshei Yeshiva and Rabbonim.

    Satmar doesn’t “preach” the dismantlement of the state of israel. They pray that it should come to an end without any blood being shed as it’s believed to be the major impediment to the final redemption.

    That may be true, but it can lead to real life problems. When I need to know actual Halacha I ask an actual Rav. They usually have a more nuanced take. That’s why they are the Rabbanim and not YWN leydigeyers.

    The OP is correct. Parents should encourage their children to serve HaShem. How they choose to do so when they grow up is between the child and HaShem. I truly hope that ujm is just trolling as usual because that’s a recipe for disaster. Avira has it backwards. Some people need to find another way. Is Rav Mosheh Twersky Hy”d suffering in the olam haelyon because he abandoned YU and went to Brisk? Of course you believe that YU is problematic but his parents didn’t. Did he have a right to turn his back on his parents?
