No need to wonder, I posted where I was.
I don’t respect athletes; I don’t respect the greek lifestyle or values. The entire thing is meaningless to me.
Why don’t you tell me what you are respecting here?
zeeskite: Sorry, I judge the rebbi by the talmidim. That’s how the ball rolls.
And you are correct, there is no way 80 would have let that through. And he’s probably correct to block it, since it’s a dangerous road to start down. Too bad Joseph set this rolling.
My opinion: I don’t think anybody could have known it was a mistake. Airline fares fluctuate, and it is normal to have unadvertised sales. I once flew to Belize from Newark for 143 roundtrip. I once flew from LGA to San Fransisco for 40 roundtrip.
She deserves nothing but ignoring her.
I don’t see anything too far about this.
Joseph is a rasha gamur, and edited. That’s about what I know about both of them.
I would pull my kid out of the camp, and file a lawsuit in secular court, and report them to the appropriate administrative agency.
Do you smoke?
also, I’ll be happy enough to have frum grandchildren. I won’t care if they eat brussel sprouts as cholent.
true true. but, it won’t have the same blood in it, and people say that meat tastes different depending on what the animal ate also, so there seem to be nuances beyond the cell structure.
42: why are you not online?
yireh li, that most people will claim it doesn’t taste as good, and will still eat real meat.
Splain.

I’m embarrassed to ask this question, but, will attendees find it offensive if I bring a camera?
A lot of people will have cameras and will be taking pictures. So, no, not offensive.
Unless you are going to gawk at them, and not to join the event. If that is the case, then it would be highly offensive. I only mention this since I don’t know why else you’d be asking if it is offensive.
Can someone please explain to me the stigma in the Orthodox Jewish community in regard to an individual receiving therapy?
Well, the stigma isn’t really therapy per se, but associating with a therapist. The idea is that since therapists are all weirdos, someone who associates with them must be a weirdo also.
I myself don’t believe this though. I think that even though someone associates with the therapist weirdos, they could still themselves not be a weirdo.
With a shiksa there is always a chashash who the real father is anyways.
I wonder about that. Is there a chazaka of rov beilos achar habaal by such a relationship? If there isn’t, then is there any chazaka that the kids are his? So then how does the opinion of havlaad mamzer make sense?
Yes, I suppose so. My main point was that kiddush Hashem does not go by what the shkutzim think, and, I think I am probably correct about this also.
I’m glad you cleared it up.
Let’s see. In America, I get anti-semitic catcalls all the time. In the civilized European countries, people are afraid to walk outside with a yarlmuke.
I’ve never researched it. I wouldn’t even know where to look.
and a fairly harmless one at that
Do you have a brain? Fairly harmless?
The passuk says about someone who has children with a non-jewish woman:
??’ ???? ?? ???? ???? ???? They have betrayed G-d, by siring alien children
Meaning, that having shkutzim as children, is an entirely separate problem and betrayal of Hashem, from marrying a shiksa. I think it pretty pashut, that continuing to treat them as children is itself a continuation of the betrayal.
Sam: That’s an interesting question.
Secular law generally views the moral obligation of a contract to either perform, or to pay the appropriate damages. That is, it is understood from the beginning that it would not be worth it for the parties to make a contract if they were bound to it no matter what.
It is a bit funny that halacha would have a sense of contract which doesn’t really make sense. And I wonder what it is.
I’m not totally clear where contracts are enforceable in halacha anyway, since some of them should be asmachta.
in previous generations our non-Jewish neighbours were often our persecutors and we could only fight back with words. Nowadays it’s no longer true. Our non-Jewish neighbours are usually fine people who deserve to be referred to respectfully.
it would probably be a Chilul Hashem if someone who becomes a Baal tshuva refuses to see his non-jewish children because they are not jewish.
Actually, that would be a kiddush Hashem. Kiddush Hashem and chillul Hashem go by what is correct according to the Torah–not by what the shkutzim think.
I didn’t know there were halacha points.
Tell him he is contributing to the shidduch crisis.
Anyone else read that yated article about this a couple weeks back?
Apparently, the more common way infants contract herpes is from family members. In one of the infamous cases, the baby’s older toddler brother had open herpes sores, and had sucked the baby’s pacifier and put it back in before anyone could stop him. The mother had tried to tell this to the investigators, but they were only interested in talking about milah.
You can confirm this by googling “infant herpes simplex” and see that it is normally spread to infants through casual skin to skin contact from a carrier who has an active lesion.
So when A is with B, A steps it up to B’s level.
So why should B marry A? B should marry C, so that together B will step it up to C’s level.
A Mamin was saying marrying someone who is OPENLY a little less frum than you – that’s bad.
On the other hand, marrying someone who is slightly more frum than you, (but around whom you can comfortably act frummer and behave just as frum as they are) – that’s good.
Does that make sense? Won’t that mean that your spouse is marrying someone less frum than them–and then they will have a bad marriage (and therefore you as well)?
funny we seem to have been surviving for the past 3000 years without pre-marital therapy
I know! Also without penicillin.
It’s possible for a person to be a CEO, or an electrician, or a garbage collector and still have a seat right next to Rebbi Akiva in Olam Haba.
Yes. But notice the example you picked was of Rabi Akiva, who was of the rabbanon.
I then went on to explain what the “nafka mina” might be if you have two people looking to appear as frummer to each other, as opposed to what A Mamin and I were discussing when only one person is actually frummer than the other.
Man…
Let me get this straight: you think it is ok for one to be frummer than other other? Or it isn’t? a maamin said it is not ok to marry someone less frum than yourself, because then one will be frummer than the other…
I definitely think it’s better to go out with someone a little frummer than you , rather than a little less. Believe me, I’ve heard from others what they have to go through, when they end up marrying someone who is really much less then them.
Ummm. Doesn’t that mean you shouldn’t marry someone who is frummer than you also? Because otherwise they will be the one marrying someone less frum than them (you). And since I’ve never heard a marriage where one was happy and the other not…
Oh! That’s really good. I’m mad I didn’t think of that.
Ah. Meaning that the trophy wives are being handed candy? (Or, being handed, like, candy?)
Don’t date girls straight out’ve seminary….they all still think they are Rachel Ameinu..
Yes, that would be inappropriate. Since I think I am Avraham.
Syag: I can’t figure out what you mean. I tried putting a comma in every place.
“trophy wives being handed out like candy”
disgusting
I know! Right?
The torah begins with chessed and ends with chessed. It begins with chessed with Hashem clothing adam, and ends with chessed with Hashem burying moshe.
