I finally see some people answering the original question. Kashrus organizations are for the purpose of determining that the ingredients don’t contain foods and/or byproducts of the foods (fish/meats etc) enumerated in Torah shebeK’sav and Baal Peh to be impure/unfit (in the common vernacular “treif”) as well as basar b’cholov.
If you want to know what’s healthy see a doctor.
He also talks about the lofty neshamos of those who unfortunately go OTD but won’t condemn Footsteps.
This addictive train wreck was started as a blog reporting on what was going on in what’s colloquially known as the Yeshiva World.
It’s very much of religious significance to the goyim. The current “secular” calendar was actually set up by the Catholic church. The different versions are named for popes.
שערי דמעות לא ננעלו
The original Neturei Karta had their own shita before Vayoel Moshe was written. They may overlap sometimes but neither one is dependant on the other.
We earn credits for all mitzvos. We don’t get to tell HKBH how to apply the credit.
They see theowback pictures of some of the biggest gedolim of the last 50 years and they figure that this specific hairstyle helped the gedolim become gedolim.
@lakewhut
That’s not what they told us in NY at the time. We were doing Yom Kippur Kattan, fasting, saying tehillim every day (5 extra minutes from children’s “free time” lost forever) listening to mussar shmuessen, etc. The majority of Israelis were living it up.
Didn’t materialize? Do you know how big a SCUD missile is? The size of an 18 – wheeler! When they hit the ground they shattered every window and shutter 4 square blocks from impact. The SCUDs that actually got through completely demolished entire buildings. No zeicher. Just because they didn’t hit chareidi areas doesn’t mean the theeat didn’t materialize.
Here’s an excercise for people who don’t understand Israeli mentality. On the wall outside Beis Yisroel shtieblach there is a plaque memorializing people who got killed in the courtyard of the shul by shelling from the Arabs during the war in 1948. There are several names from the same family killed on different days. People went out the next day after their own brothers were just killed. They don’t think like you. Silly Americans freak out more than the Israelis.
@lakewhut
You don’t know Israeli mentality..They don’t think like you. They don’t act like you.
When I lived in the States I used to frantically call a cousin in EY every time I heard that there was an air raid siren (I even had an app to notify me of them). He didn’t know about most of them. That’s life here. Take it or leave it. During the Gulf War most of my friends got on with life.
I guess the illustrious mods are neither divorced nor children of divorce. If the mods were they might read the thread differently.
I have witnessed enough to traumatize me. I ask again for what I’m missing. It can be a private post.
The nastiness shown here to the OP is beyond comprehension. A human being expressed true pain and the majority of the responders here chose to pour salt on her wounds. I recommend that the theead be deleted. Att: Mods Deleted, not closed.
Other than huju’s comment the negative comments were toward divorce, not the OP. The comments about the suffering of the children was exactly the OP’s point, but that she overcame it. If I missed something please let me know.
Suck it up. Put on Tefillin betzina. Go to Shul and celebrate when they celebrate. Lots of us have done it.
@Coffee Addict
There are many people who should be divorced but stay miserable because of מזבח מוריד דמעות. I’m not ח”ו arguing on חז”ל, but do you think there are no דמעות when people are miserable?
Divorce is a Torah solution to an untenable situation. Divorce is something that HKBH created. Most children of divorce know that as difficult as it is to be from a broken home, they’d be exponentially worse off if they’re parents had stayed together.
You’re stating your personal opinion that it’s not ideal to stay married. You’re not a Rabbi. There have been Rabbonim who have advised otherwise.
Eidim are NOT halachically allowed to accept payment.
Seriously Mods. Please do something about the annoyances clogging up our once stimulating CR.
I feel your pain
The Alter Rebbe didn’t “succeed” the Mezritcher Maggid. He had his school of thought based on his understanding of what he was mekabel from the Maggid. There were other schools of thought.
1) Besh”t
2) Mezritch
3) Lizensk
4) Lublin
5) Yismach Moshe (Satmar descends from there).CR and Mods should be removing users and posts that are exceptionally annoying. Users should be required to prove themselves capable of normal dialogue before being allowed to open new threads. I don’t know what @Commonsaychel did to deserve being trolled by a newbie.
OP’s English needs a lot of help. I’m referring to basic spelling and using nonexistent words.
Continuing from where you left off: They changed Lakewood. They wanted to be “close” to the Torah that they so revere, but they brought along all of their gashmius and in doing so they changed the entire Torah Shtetl. If you think differently you don’t remember Lakewood 40 years ago. I do.
“Litvish” Mesorah isn’t a thousand years old, you’re confusing it with minhag Ashkenaz that continues today almost exclusively by those whom we call with great affection “Yekkes”.
Both Litvish and Chassidish Mesoras are actually minhag Ashkenaz heavily influenced by others.
@Sam Klein
I think this is the first time I agree with you. The proximity to “The City” made the problem. It’s irreversible.
Wealthy people who eat bread and butter will give the poor people sawdust.
Lakewood is no longer a Torah shtetl.
You’re providing journalistic commentary and I’m providing my real life experience. What I told you is exactly what I do. I pay for a seat that the “mammals” can’t overflow into. Even if it means an extended stopover because of the cost.
“But this time I got a window seat. So it is marginally less stupid.”
So now you can be stuck between one or 2 “incredibly obese mammals” and a window and we’ll read about your childish complaining.
If you don’t want to be stuck between 2 incredibly obese mammals you can pay to choose your seat. If you insist on flying an airline that doesn’t allow seat selection (even for a price) it’s your own fault.
Starting the thread doesn’t make you the moderator of the thread.
Toras Chochom is a shul, not a Yeshiva. Most of the people there don’t identify as Breslov. Breslover Torah is rarely mentioned regardless of Rav Morgenstern Shlita’s connection to Breslov.
“Yeshu” Hanotzri as he was referred to by Yidden is Roshei Teivos Y’emach SH’emo V’ezichro.
When Js for X realized that they changed it to Yeshua. There is no source claiming that he was ever named Yehoshua.
What Yeshiva?
@ Neville
Your words on the issue (comment #2190287)
“It makes no sense to say it’s a chumrah. If it’s mutar, it’s due to pikuach nefesh (the hospitals need electricity), if it’s assur then it’s chillul Shabbos.”
@Neville
Was the Chazon Ish the only posek in his time? I think not.
Where do all the news sites get all their information? Do you really think they all have people roaming the streets with notepads?
Los Angeles has a chassidishe kollel, though I don’t know how people deal with the cost of living there.
Veitzen – Chicago also has a chassidishe kollel.
There are certainly people like those you speak of. If you alienate them you are also alienating their children. The best you can do is ignore them. Like ChaZa”l say
דע מה שתשיב לאפיקורס, הני מילי לאפיקורס עכו”ם
משא”כ באפיקורס ישראל דפוקר טפי
So @AviraDeArah holds that people whose heart’s aren’t “in the mitzvos” should stop doing them entirely?
“Unfortunately, not everyone will be zoiche to techiyas hamaisim.”
Are you G-d? Are you privy to His decision making?
What does stay in “galut” mean? Galus and Geula are facts, irrespective of location.

“Yay.
Hopefully, the chasid has learned the very important lesson of not touching other people’s children for any reason.”
Who exactly was chassidish in this very Flatbush story?
The bigger question is, how does a person who doesn’t know the halachos well enough do teshuva for deciding to be machmir on himself or somebody else with sometimes horrible consequences.
What is a “remnant holdover”? If I eat a “remnant holdover” must i use “mayim achronim vasser” even if I didn’t have to wash netilas yadayim before eating?
All bullies throughout history meant it l’shem shamayim.
גם כי יזקין לא יסור ממנה
“Interventions” are not a Jewish concept.
Penina had the same opinion as you. She did what she did l’shem shamayim. She lost everything.
Penina had 7 sons, Chana had none. Finish the story…
Sometimes when you know (and yes, you DO know) that your words will undoubtedly cause pain, and you know (again, you DO know) that your words will not help, give the person a hug.
Continuing from my last post
Why don’t you just punch somebody in the gut. They’ll hate you, but the pain will go away faster.
