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.
Those who tell people “stop being so picky” are the nastiest people around.
You don’t know what’s going on in somebody else’s life, although you may think you do. It’s NOT constructive criticism. It’s NOT caring. It’s BULLYING in it’s purest form.
It comes from the same place as the old saying “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”.
Rav Savitzky wasn’t there in 5751. He was brought in after the petirah of Rav Reuven Fein ZTZVK’L who was niftar Sivan/Tamuz 5753.
She wasn’t stripped of all her committees, neither were Schiff and Swallwell. They were removed from specific committees.
Rav Yitzchok Lichtenstein Shlita is an actual Brisker, having absorbed the Brisker Derech under the tutelage of his grandfather’s cousin Rav Meshulam Dovid.
The malochim were kicked out of Torah Vodaas for several reasons, the discussion isn’t relative to this thread. However, the main Rabbi who was matir the expulsion is infamous for having left over his grandson Dr. Norman Lamm for America to deal with.
When people refer to Brisk nowadays, they mean the branch of The Brisker Rov aka Moron HaGRI”Z Haleivi.
I don’t know who the Ashkenaz Rov of Sterling Forest is. However, if he eats Machine Shmura Matza it doesn’t matter how many yea5he learned in Brisk, he’s not a Brisker. A Brisker does things the way The Brisker Rov and his children and grandchildren did and continue to do. It’s not just a derech halimud, it’s a way of life.
To several posters
RAY regardless of his greatness has been known colloquially as AJ for as long as he’s been RY or even longer, by supporters and detractors.
No Brisker ever ate machine matzos on Pesach.
“Bikoires” is very popular among frum Jews, chassidim and litvishe equally. I’m not saying it’s a good thing but YWN CR wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t.
That’s all for now.
I’ve been losing my mind nearly a week. Couldn’t figure out what it said.
“The State is illegitimate, therefore it’s laws don’t obligate us”.
That’s pure unadulterated hogwash. Can I run red lights because I’m unhappy with Biden, Hochul, Adams and the other elected officials who are officially serving my district?
Government exists, Law and Order is applied (or not) as they see fit. Anarchy is never the right way to go.
How’s that?
I don’t remember which Tzaddik said this, and it’s not an exact quote.
If the wealthy man eats macaroni and cheese he’ll give the poor man enough for a few slices of bread. If the wealthy man eats a huge steak he’ll give the poor man enough for a full meal.
Can somebody please translate for the illiterate amongst us?
Some are family owned, some are franchised. As per a member of the family who currently operates one store in Har Nof and one in Beis Yisroel (that I know of, maybe more).
Telshe Cleveland unfortunately lost its prestige some years ago. It’s happened before to other great Yeshivos in Eretz Yisroel as well as in the Diaspora. It’s an unfortunate golus trend.
Just what we needed. The troll is home for the first off-Shabbos of the zman.
Chassidishe Sh’chita has nothing to do with the shochet being chassidish. It’s about an innovation that was brought about in sh’chita knives by the chassidim and eventually became standard.
Avirah
That is what I’m saying. Telling a chassan to daven elsewhere even beyechidus is against the halacha. If it means “never’ saying tachnun, so be it.
Avirah
Halacha is Halacha is Halacha.
When will the litvishe stop with the absurdity of asking chassanim to daven elsewhere?
YO, you’re the biggest troll in the CR. You’re constantly opening new theeads which usually warrant strong responses.
@Yabia Omer aka non sefardi troll
I’m still trying to figure out why an ashkenazi wants so badly to be a sefardi.
Loshon Hakodesh was historically used exclusively for Kodesh. Mamne loshon was Aramaic.
No! The only part that’s a minhag is pouring it from the becher.
Pouring the water is not a minhag. Pouring from the becher probably is.
@non sefardi troll
“Where is it brought down that one should pour a drop of water from a Becher into a wine bottle?”
I already answered the question earlier. You just ignore the people who don’t fargin.
“It may not say so in halacha, but it may be purely for convenience sake. We are washing out the becher before kiddush anyways, so we leave a little water behind and use that to be mozeg (dilute) the wine.”
The President Pro Tempore of the Senate isn’t a minor member of the majority party. Rather s/he is traditionally the longest serving senator in the majority part.

What’s a Lakewood style community in Isreal??
Good question. Once upon a time there were cities that were referred to as Yerushalayim d'(fill in the blank). Those were choshuva places. I assume that a Lakewood community in EY would have all the “comforts” of Lakewood with patting themselves on the back that they “live in EY”. Not really choshuv IMHO.
Yabia Omer (earlier in the thread)
<It’s so obvious that we Ashkenazim are just too closed minded to appreciate the authentic Sephardic derech.>
Yabia Omer (last night)
<keep dressing yeshivish. What does that even mean?>
Probably the biggest troll in the history of CR!
Would you ride on a bus with a blind driver? Would you worry about his feelings?
Mod 29 would never allow it. He needs to be in control.
The Tisha B’Av programs were started because people were doing other things including actual entertainment. The programs keep people focused.
@Sam Klein
Anything using numbers of secular years is as meaningless as “he” who the first such year was named after.
A question for our resident leftists.
Do you view Joe Manchin as a “profile in courage”?
Do you have a windmill and solar power on your roof, or is your home electricity powered by fossil fuels like everybody else’s?
“Maybe we think some of these go to far, but should a YWN reader be happy that his hard-working wife would make less than a man? Should it be OK to fire someone for wearing a yarmulke? This is a sampling of issues republicans try to role (sic) back.”
Libs have been throwing around these claims for decades. When I was unfortunately receiving public assistance, beginning under Clinton and through the Bush years I was always told that Republicans would cut my assistance. It kept going up until Obama. You people are slaves to the Democrats just like the People of Color are. Wake up!
What is more likely is that under Democrat rule they’ll pass a law giving employers a right to compel an employee to terminate a pregnancy. Chew on that.
Bring an “AR-15” to a warzone and you’re a dead man. Do you even know what “AR” means?
@TS Baum
The Baal Hatanya doesn’t have a monopoly on the AriZal.
The book is (I assume) written in English and geared to the American market. The question should be why a book hasn’t been written about Rav Sholom Goldstein in the approximately 4 decades since his passing. Maybe a book in hebrew for the israeli market will focus more on his other brother-in-law.
As Hitlery said during the Benghazi hearings “What difference does it make now?”
Before the “Rav Kav” became the only way to pay to ride a bus in Israel, you got a receipt that said clearly you need to hold onto it for inspection. Inspectors still have a right to check your Rav Kav to see if you paid.
I’ve never used SBS, but I would imagine it says on the ticket that you need to hold onto it for inspection.
Grow up.
We need to stop using untrained people as therapists. Either use the licensed therapists that are available or send your own to be properly trained (chas m’lehazkir).
The Capitol is not more “holy” than any other government buildings such as the courthouses and police stations that were attacked by left wing mobs in their own “mostly peaceful” protests.
That helps for after the mabul.
@coffee addictThe neshama gives the ability to speak, not necessarily a guarantee.
Apparently, this person doesn’t want to be with you for all of eternity. You should thank Hashem that it ended sooner rather than later.

Chanukah never falls out on Monday night going into Tuesday. It’s the only time it can never fall out.
The natural world is ever changing. Before the mabul there were no seasons as we know them today. See the Seforno in Parshas Noach.
Other cultures and their history mean absolutely nothing.
