So, which of those 19 are the 10 most overlooked?
Listen to popa.
I nominate mommamia22 for poster of the year.
You make bad assumptions. I could make you feel really dumb, but I won’t.
So once my sister in law agreed to bake challas as part of 40 women.
She comes home late thursday night exhausted, and then starts to take out the challa stuff.
My brother says, “You go to sleep- I’m making challa.”
Now that sounds like something Hashem wants.
I take it you don’t want to date me?
Your best bet is to call WITS. WITS, like Vancouver and Dallas that you asked about earlierhas a phone number.
fixed that for you.
Health: I am not advising anyone to go to either one.
I am simply observing that USNWR considers YU to be a top university, and doesn’t so consider touro.
And the fact they are ranked nationally is the proof. It just is. Look on any forum dealing with colleges and ask about it.
In any event, I have never heard of a case of child molesting, where it wasn’t the parents’ fault.
You think molesters just randomly choose kids?
No, they choose kids who have low self esteem, and who are unlikely to tell their parents.
How do kids get low self esteem? From parents who criticize them instead of building them up.
What kind of kids don’t tell their parents if they are being raped? The kind whose parents haven’t taught them that they will be understanding if they tell them something bad or embarrassing.
So I’m not really expecting any of these parents to give a hoot anyway. Except to the extent that the parents feel insulted personally that someone is hurting their kid.
And most days, I don’t wear a suit. And most evenings, I don’t shave. And I don’t usually shower in the afternoon either.
Maybe I should just show up like I usually look at 7:00 PM, since that is me.
Going further, most nights, I don’t go to a lounge in Manhattan, I go to the yeshiva dining room. So I’ll take her there.
And most nights, I don’t pick up a girl at all. So I won’t go to her house.
I want to be me. So tell the girl she can come to yeshiva and eat supper across the table from me. Unless it is turkey legs- then I’m going for pizza. But my chavrusa is coming, I hope that’s ok?
And I can stay out 10 minutes into night seder, but any later than that and my chavrusah gets cranky. (You can date him instead, but then he will need to be at night seder 10 minutes early.)
Troll. (you guys really fooled?)
I guess I dunno nothing about the case, and maybe he is justified in running away.
But it sure doesn’t help our cause to have our political leaders telling New York State not to enforce its laws.
There are no female mods. This isn’t hatzolo.
I am not saying that at all. If you look above, I professed a far vaster knowledge in tanach, more than the entire BJJ combined, and half of Hadar.
Also, the yeshivish mesechtos are far more than 10% of shas.
In pages, they are over a third.
In concepts, they are probably over 90%.
Tell us more.
Can I briefly say that I was in a cafe in Cedarhurst, and they don’t give out their Wifi code because the Vaad won’t let them have internet.
And then, to add insult to injury, I got a parking ticket outside for not paying the meter on sunday.
And then, to add injury to injury, the lady at the court said the judge won’t let me off even though they got the color of my car wrong.
It was a very injurious day.
That might be true if you learn the gemara like Rav Shach. When the gemara brings a passuk for any reason, how many learners today actually know what the passuk is talking about and its relevance to the gemara? How many bother to look up the passuk, its context within the perek, have an understanding of the passuk means and then try and fit it back into the gemara? When a Tanna or Amora (or even a Rishon or Achron) brings a passuk it is because they know what the passuk means already. Its application to the gemara is understood by them. Todays learners?
Well, R’ Shach was talking to todays learners.
In any event, you grossly underestimate today’s learners. People on the outside like to sit and make fun of yeshiva guys, and say they don’t really learn and just waste time.
They should find a better way to assuage their guilt for not being in yeshiva. Like therapy.
We have experts on this board who I’m sure can help set some goals for people with guilt for not being in yeshiva. I bet Aries can help.
(And I challenge you to ask me on any passuk mentioned in any of the yeshivish mesechtos.)
What does this have to do with men v women?
Do you think fathers like seeing their little boys or girls raped?
And do you think women are never molesters?
At the risk of arguing with Popa, I’d like to suggest that it is actually impossible to prove which school is better. (Certainly, US News didn’t do it.)
Well, I agree that US New’s criteria don’t necessarily mean a better education.
But, if we value education by the jobs you can get out of it, and we assume employers care about the US News ranking (which they generally do- at least in certain fields) then we can say that it does prove it is a more valuable education.
New snarky comment:
Well, why don’t you tell us exactly what you want people to do, and then we can discuss it.
Because if we were supposed to listen to Navi today, we would still have neviim.
Saying that Touro is not as good academically as YU without any proof is Denigration.
You are correct, and schvartze wolf had no proof.
I have proof. The US News and World Report ranks Yeshiva College as number 45. Touro is nowhere close (I dont know ranking)
See now, the argument that frum women wait longer because they can just call Hatzoloh (which I don’t believe), actually argues that there should not be women in hatzoloh, so that we incentivizes them to not wait and not call hatzoloh, since it adds to the risks.
Oh. I thought this was going to be a collection of yo mama jokes.
I didn’t click on it until now because they are so lame so I didn’t care.
But now that I did, I’m still disappointed.
Yo mama is so fat they use her to make chuck norris jokes.
hello:
yes, I was waiting for someone like you to come.
Ok, so I got interested in this because it sounded so bizarre, and looked up the pischei teshuva and the tiferes l’moshe and did a bar ilan search (I’d like to announce to the CR oilam that I now have bar ilan access. yay!)
Do you think the tiferes lmoshe is making it talui on which reason you hold of, in which case he would say it is then part of that machlokes? (is that a machlokes, or just redundant reasons?)

Mods: let this through, it is hebrew books.
Is that what she is saying?
Maybe she is saying she will not wait for her husband and will go ask her rav herself.
Really people. If you don’t trust your rav enough to ask him this shaila, it is probably time to get a new rav.
This thread is crazy. The OP is crazy. You have all gotten lost in the trees and are missing the forest.
OP: What are you talking about? This is not protection money, it is the fee for service. You have not presented anything problematic.
I dismiss the OP for failure to state a claim.
I hate this kasha, and wish the beis yosef had never asked it.
Firstly, it seems obvious that some miracle must have occurred the first day if there was any amount of oil left to burn the rest of the days.
Secondly, why couldn’t they just pick 8 days anyway, since it would sound weird to celebrate 7 days for a menorah that burned 7 “extra” days.
Of course; that wasn’t my point. I just enjoy nitpicking a nitpicker’s nitpicking; Wolf said that the OP didn’t exclude a daughter, and I was demonstrating that (s)he did.
As do I. As I did.
Thanks. That’s a good citation. It looks from that that is is a machlokes whether it is d’oraisah.
Any real issur outweighs kibbud av, as far as I know.
Yeah, I got that. You claimed it wasn’t d’oraisah. Can you give me a cite for that?
If you read the Mishna Brura he brings two tzadim and even in the second tzad he says tov l’hachmir l’chatchila.
You are referring to whether a ??? can be ????. I was referring to the assumption that the kid doesn’t want to take out the garbage.
dorasia where did you get that from?
I was under that impression, but I suppose I haven’t seen it inside. Am I wrong?
Rav Shach was not a fan of Chassdim
Does that mean we can quote Rav Shach on that topic?
Yes.
Also, I think he was specifically not a fan of a particular chassidus.
Health: I highly doubt it is because our community is uneducated on childbirth. Surely by the 10th or 11th time you are giving birth you must know something about the process.
Especially if your mother also gave birth 10 times.
GOQ: how does it work? It goes by when the next year is goyish leap year?
Jothar makes a good point, and I would like to add to it as well.
I would personally be willing to help Joseph, if I was able. I would pull over on the side of the highway for him, and whatever else.
Despite what he has done and continues to do.
I don’t wish him any ill. I just wish him gone.
The OP was clearly addressing a shidduch issue, and kiddushin is not tofes with one’s daughter.
Yes, but surely you can’t socialize with everyone kiddushin is not tofes to. Like an eishes ish.
If you want to start a new thread regarding Rabbi Dr. Lamm (and the “Speech”, feel free. Don’t hijack this one.
But Lamm IS torah umadda!
There was nobody defining what it was before he did! And he is the leader of the institution which espouses it! You cannot detach torah umadda from Lamm.
I’m not sure I was joking, but I was certainly saying it to be funny.
In any event, you are all wrong. I don’t know what the answer is, but I do know that you can’t use kibbud av v’em to manufacture an assei docheh lo tassei. Even on a d’rabbanan (which this isn’t, it is d’oraisah.)
Can a mother who is not a kohen ask her son who is a kohen to take out the garbage?
DaasYochid: You’re really going to compare the current incarnation of “Daas Torah” to asking a Navi?
Yes.
Firstly, the neviim couldn’t do nevius on demand.
Secondly, who says shem and ever were neviim?
In the end, even if my daughter is an exception, it doesn’t matter. We sometimes have my sister and her family over for meals… and they have teenage daughters too.
Yes, but the thread doesn’t say you can’t eat at a table with teenage daughters, it says you can’t eat at someone’s house who has teenage daughters. Since it is your house, it is not a problem, if we are being literal.
cantoresq
Since when do you follow “classical jewish thought”?
RSRH: So what he means is that there are true things which are not contained in the torah?
You mean like the fact that I am typing on my computer now is not in the torah, but is true?
I think we can all agree to that.
Now, I’m not sure we should equate true with valuable, since the knowledge that I am currently typing on a computer is not very valuable (except to Joseph).
So if he argues secular knowledge is valuable (or as I suspect, he argues it is necessary), then the value must come from something besides its being “true.”

(Before CR, there was google.)
If the problem is that they yeshiva is out of town, you need to find a yeshiva in town, or move to the other town.
If it means losing your job, then I just don’t know what to tell you.
And you really need to follow old man’s advice here.
Good definition, Jothar.
There are many women with medical training – why not allow women to be first responders, to examine and stabilize a woman patient, and let the men take over for transport to the hospital?
Your premise is that women don’t know how to drive, and that is the problem?
