It’s fine.
Rabbi Tendler. Show some respect.
no.
I support killing and harvesting organs from all who support organ donation from brain dead people.
I figure this should solve all the issues.
Have you ever asked a highly personal shaila, and then had it published in a sefer?
DY:
Popa, you seem to be playing both sides of the fence?
Not at all. I definitely oppose crooked practices and support chumros in gezel.
I also oppose kulos in bein odom l’chaveiro such as starting this thread.
People are not concerned about such minor matters. They are refering to such practices are “Paying off the books” or not charging sales tax for example
+1
Or myriad other financial crookednesses.
a notorious hedonist apostate actress over a century ago.
Good thing there isn’t a hedonist apostate day on the American calendar, or avi weiss would have invited her to sing in shul.
I don’t go out with a tent on Shabbat.
I’m glad you’ve found a new chumrah that doesn’t involve putting people down.
Well if you do think that as opposed to knowing that than you have ahalachik obligation to assume he doesn’t.
I appreciate your chumros in dan l’kaf zchus. But maybe you should consider being machmir on bein odom l’chaveiro and consider the people this thread was intended to malign.
Don’t be ridiculous. We all know exactly the purpose of this thread. We weren’t born yesterday, and we didn’t meet the OP today.
And for that matter, we didn’t meet you today either, and your response is also entirely predictable.
As is mine, to be fair.
Homburgs are not chasidic. Outgoing president Dwight Eisenhower wore a homburg to the inauguration of President Kennedy.
He was chasidic.
Popa I think you misread. It was about individuals who worry about looks of themselves and others without regard to behavior. You think that describes chareidim?
No, I don’t think it describes chareidim. I think the OP thinks that, and that’s what he was trying to imply.
Depends.
If you want to look normal, buy a Borsalino fedora from a store like Bencraft or the Hat Box.
We will have already endured 8…
I almost wrote that, but it’s not really true. Obama isn’t a joke, he has many other problems including being a rasha, and hating the country, and having no respect for the rule of law, but I don’t think he is a joke.
These seminaries must be doing an incredible job. They take a girl who has had 12 years of schooling and 17 years of parental chinuch. And in the short 9 months they have her, they radicalize her. They convince her to abandon all the wonderful values of her schooling and upbringing and instead, marry a kollel guy and live in suffering and poverty.
Or, the 12 years of schooling and 17 years of parents have done a terrible job.
1. I did not mention anyone in particular and anyway we are all anonymous here.
Don’t be ridiculous. You started a thread to bash chareidim by insinuating that they only care about looking frum.
Do you, popa and flatbusher, really think if a guy was in school or working and taking his learning seriously he would have a hard time with shidduchim? It seems, at least from the CR, that there are an awful lot of girls looking for such a shidduch…
What type of girl do you think is generally looking for that guy?
But more importantly, what type of girl do you think the guys think is generally looking for that type of guy?
Is this thread a good example of chumros in bein odom l’chaveiro?
Like, this is definitely not intended to put anyone down right?
Sadly, there is a shortage of guys who do work and are serious about learning
So, when the seminaries try to convince girls that they must marry a guy learning in kollel or risk not having a Torahdik home, they’re probably contributing to that shortage.
Because he’s viewed as entirely unprincipled and a joke.
I’m planning to vote for him because I’d endure 4 years of a joke as president, if only to make the point that political correctness and the thought police are way out of control.
So tell us Charlie:
Is it right or left wingers who want to:
ban milah
ban shechitah, and have done so in some European countries
force frum schools in the UK to teach its values on sexual orientation and gender roles
force christian business owners to violate their religion over providing a 10 dollar pill
That’s a few just off the top of my head. Why don’t you tell us a few stories about right wing proposals that would infringe on your ability to practice religion?
You are being insensitive to people in comas.
It’s ok, then can’t see it. Unlike lefties who see it very well, but pretend not to.
People here are so invested in right wing politics that they put those politics ahead of the interest of Jews. It is truly a blatant example of assimilation. You can wear a yarmulke and eat kosher but your thinking is that of a goy.
yeah, that’s basically what we think of your opinions generally. It doesn’t matter what the French right and left were in the middle ages. Today it’s the worldwide left that is the biggest danger to religious freedom, and the biggest reshaim regarding Israel. And you have to be in a coma not to see it.
Easiest way to fix the shidduch crisis would be for girls to stop going to seminary.
Seminary is geared to young women who want to go into chinuch
lolwut?
we have often invited couples where my wife is friendly with the mrs. and me with the mr. she shmoozes with her friend about lady things, i drink with my friend and talk sports and we all enjoy a nice shabbos seuda.
FTFY
Husbands can help in the kitchen, too.
In fact, I often cook entire Shabat meals for ourselves and for guests!
Me too. I love to cook. I reckon I’m even pretty good at it.
Seminary is a scam.
well, mikva is different because of v’safra lah.
How is it any different than a driver’s license picture? You need a license to drive, and a license has a picture. You need a resume to date and a resume has a picture.
Don’t be ridiculous. You’ve already displayed amply above that you were being misleading by talking about Uber Black instead of Uberx which is the cheap one.
And no, you can’t call anyone a bigot because when you’re called on it, you won’t put up anything. We don’t need outside links. We just need you to go back to that other thread, and post the three most bigoted things he did or said (e.g. “He said ‘Jews worship the devil'”), as well as your definition of bigotry.
You’ve lost big time credibility. You need to discuss without (i) trying to silence opponents by calling them bigots, or (ii) being intentionally misleading.
And don’t forget there are also OVER ONE MILLION JEWS LIVING IN NEW YORK CITY
I *support* people saving money and that is why I am calling out Uber. It is preying on people who don’t realize that in many cases an ordinary livery cab or even green or yellow cab is less expensive because they aren’t familiar with NYC.
Well, above your example was comparing Uber Black to your local car service. That was highly misleading since most people use Uberx which is way cheaper than your local car service.
I assume when you say “in many cases,” you are again being intentionally misleading, and what you mean to say is that when surge pricing is in effect, it can be cheaper to take a cab. However, this is clearly disclosed before you order the Uber, and in fact you can instead choose to order a regular cab and pay regular cab prices through the Uber app–and can compare the wait times.
I have no issue with you disliking Uber’s business model, or that they have effectively deregulated a formerly regulated industry. But why can’t you just make your real arguments instead of misleading us?
It’s the same with every liberal argument. You don’t like Trump so you call him a bigot, but when you’re called on it, you aren’t even willing to post one post backing it up. FWIW, I haven’t been following the Trump news closely, and there’s a decent chance you’d convince me that he is.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Ok, you had your chance.
I don’t want to ever see you call anyone a bigot again.
Thanks for bumping. This thread is great.
Charlie, I have no idea why you are opposed to people saving money.
Charlie,
I’m happy to use avi’s three if you want. But I still need (a) the actual statements rarcterizations. We don’t want to argue about something and then you’ll say “but then he also said…”. Also (b) your definition of bigotry. Itd be idiotic if we just had different definitons of what is bigotry.
Sorry charlie, the challenge is to Charlie.
1. Painting all Hispanic immigrants as violent criminals (
2. Painting all refugees as terrorists,
3. Opposing birthright citizenship contending that the Fourteenth Amendment does not say what it explicitly says (All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside).
I see. So instead of providing me with what he did/said, you provided me with what you think it implies. That very effectively prevents me from responding, ending the conversation.
Anyway, the challenge was to Charlie. I can’t be expected to respond to three things from every poster on the CR.
Is posting advice here “legal advice”? Are you our lawyer?
If you think Trump is not a bigot you are a fool.
Want to have that discussion?
Tell us the 3 most bigoted things he’s done/said. In context.
And define “bigoted.”
Don’t wish for a frum.landlord as you might be sorry. My in-laws lived in a two family house and the frum landlord would “accidentally” turn then their heat down erev Shabbos and then say he couldn’t raise the heat because it was Shabbos.
I have a frum landlord. They’re great. They live upstairs.
What did you change?
This provision.
Exactly.
Again it depends what the lease says.
Well, partially.
Firstly, if the lease says something too landlord-favorable, there is likely a local law that overrides it. Google “tenant rights [name of town].”
Second, you can’t take the lease language too literally, or it becomes absurd. Suppose it says:
Right of Entry. The Lessor shall have the right to enter the premises at any time, upon notice, to make all repairs, to inspect the premises, and to show the premises to prospective tenants and purchasers.
And suppose there is no local tenant law. So that means the landlord can send you an email that he’s going to show the apartment to a string of people for the next month 24/7 and will be staying in your apartment continuously for that time. (Don’t worry, he won’t sit on your couch.)
Right?
Of course not. No court in the world would read the contract that literally, and a contract means only so much as a court would legally enforce. There’s an obvious assumed interpretation that there is a reasonability aspect, and it’s quite reasonable to tell the landlord “I’m eating dinner with my family during that time, can you come a few hours later; my baby is napping during that time; I’m napping during that time; it’s too late at night; you’ve been in here for half an hour already I need you to leave; etc”.
ALWAYS read a lease before signing one and if you cant understand the legalize , get someone who CAN read it and explain it to you
Good luck negotiating the terms of a residential lease. Best you can do is probably to just change the terms you don’t like before you sign and hope they don’t notice. BTDT; no idea what a court would do.
Newbee: Why is Goyim not keeping Shabbos a Zilzul of Shabbos?
I assumed he was saying it is zilzul shabbos to have it going on in your house, which it is.
I just remembered. I used to tell them, “oh, that won’t work, I’m having company at that time.” And then suggest some other time, like sunday morning at 11.
Clinton isn’t a decent person either.
None of them are. It takes a real piece of work to want to be president, and to have done the things in life necessary to have gotten there.
How about flaxseed oil? Can you use it to season pots?
If we elect a bigot like Trump or a theocrat like Cruz we may have to leave.
Yes, yes, we know. Anyone liberals disagree with is a bigot.
How any frum person could even consider voting for Trump is beyond me. He is a nativist bigot anti-vaxxer 9/11 truther with a history of horrible business ethics who spouts anti-Semitic memes, won’t call out the anti-Semites who are supporting him, and whose most prominent business ventures are casinos and beauty pageants.
lol Obama supporter calling the kettle black.
