Reb yentel:
Are you asking me a question?
I am confused.
You want to know how I would classify movements in orthodoxy that are less than 200 years old? Like certain more recent chassidus’s?
I would call them Modern Orthodox. I never restricted my definition. If you want to call them Ultra-Modern-Orthodox, you can. But I don’t think anyone else calls them that.
I think we need a better regulated labeling system.
It is like if apples from Washington had a different grading system than apples from North Carolina.
We should have a commission which decides on uniform labels, including a label for people who refuse to use our labels.
If I were making decisions, it would be no cleaning anywhere except the dining room and kitchen, and freezers.
Everywhere else just bedikas chometz.
In my opinion, most of the cleaning that goes on before pesach has nothing to do with halacha. It is just about wanting to clean up.
So,
A. Maybe decide whether this is the best time to be doing this.
B. Give your husband a break if he is not as interested in cleaning. (While of course he should help you clean for any reason, you should be upfront about your motives.)
I’m talking about not wearing socks at all and I’ve learned that it goes according to minhag hamakom and in NY minhag hamakom is to wear something covering the leg…
I really know very little about this.
But, I am skeptical that a place like NY could possibly have a minhag hamakom.
It would seem to me that if this is a very hard thing for you, that maybe you should find out if you can be meikel.
I hate (sic) red label.
SJS:
I didn’t see the picture, and I have a hard time justifying vandalism. I take no stand in this case.
As I am aware, calves are dependent on minhag hamakom. I have heard claims that there is a minhag hamakom in NY, but I do not believe that.
Faces are not ervah.
SJS:
I think you should be comfortable saying that they should not have spray painted the sign, without going so far as to say that the images were not objectionable.
We do object to women wearing clothing which does not meet the minimum standard of halacha.
We cannot stop people on the street from doing so, but we do still find it objectionable.
And if we were in charge, we would stop them.
It is very important on these type of threads to get your insanity in first.
yeshivish- goes to a yeshiva.
Modern Orthodox- ascribes to modern movements in orthodoxy, like chassidus or the mussar movement.
yes, horribly vain. Only men are allowed to care about looks.

Over 2 years ago a poster posted in the Coffee Room about her child being otd, and not too long thereafter her child came to the coffee room to answer her here.

Cool. I just saw that for the first time.
Still, it seems contrived to me. The “daughter” was the first response, and then later was the immediately next response the next time the “mother” posted.
I didn’t read the whole thread. Is my theory confirmed?
One of my friends used to say:
You should go out in a minivan littered with cheerios and 4 fighting and screaming kids in the back.
See how much you enjoy each other then.
health: I am sorry I wrote what I did in such a mean way.
However, I think it is very important that eclipse not follow your advice, and not to even see it as possibly correct.
please. it’s no different than half the halachic discussions here.
3rd date should be your l’chaim
That is second date. 3d is the wedding.
Hmm. I guess no one way works for everyone.
Personally, I just start writing the main part, although, I end up making that into the outline.
wow chicago is way cooler then i thought
I’ll say. Sometimes I wonder if it is really siberia.
I think your reason is valid and commendable.
Yes, they do often blame the parents. I happen to agree with that school of thought.
Of course, they don’t always mean both parents; either one has enough influence by themselves. Do you disagree?
Don’t start with the introduction. Just start with the main part, then come back and write the introduction later.
This is always a good idea anyway.
eclipse:
I am going to agree and disagree.
I agree it is proper for someone to attempt to move beyond his limitations, and that is the work of our life.
I want to add though, that many kids today are raised to think that everything is their fault and that they are required to be “perfect”.
Perfectionism is the disease of our community. I think sometimes it is important to first realize that not everything is our fault, and that we are not held to impossible expectations.
Then, we can strive to reach past our limits.
3.pretend to still be bentching if you realized you finished way ahead of others at the table?
I would start wondering if it was really shabbos rosh chodesh chanuka and there was really much more to say.
Besides, how do you know you are “way ahead” of the others. Maybe they are about to finish.
Can I mention now that the first time I saw this thread title I thought it was talking about me?
TBT: thanks!
Eclipse: I have no response. But, don’t you agree that your kids for example, are less culpable than someone like me, for growing up with your ex?
Yes, people would rather hear, “it’s not your fault”.
As it happens, it is often true also.
Dovid Hamelech praised Hashem using the language “???? ???? ???? ???? ?? ?????? ???? ????, implying that ???? was like an enemy.
Hashem responded by telling him that if Dovid would have had Shaul’s job in life, he would have failed miserably.
We don’t all start out evenly, and our life experiences make it even more unequal. When most children of an abusive father are abusive, it is not hard to imagine that it is something besides bad choices and middos.
Luckily, Hashem only judges us according to our situation and abilities. So we don’t have to worry about the CR Judges.
you said you are from chicago.
You’re from Chicago?
You know the chofetz chaim said that you are not supposed to say lashon hara even about yourself!
I also read it as “parents”. I thought this was going to be about getting a license to be a parent.
Has your sister complained?
Would she rather not see her kids and grandkids?
You have no reason to defend Chicagoans.
They’re fine people
I don’t understand.
Why shouldn’t FL613 defend them if they are fine people?
That is a very hard situation.
I have heard that the most important thing to do is to let you know that you will love, support, and accept them as your children even if they are not frum or anything.
And that should really be the truth also. We don’t know what a person’s ??????? are. You are their mother, and know them better than anyone else, but I am sure there is much that you don’t know.
The passuk in malachi says about the the yemos hamashiach: ?????, ??????, ??? ????, ????–??? ???? ??????, ???? ?? ????.
We will only be able to tell the difference then, we can’t tell now.
You know how much your kids have been through. If there is one thing that will make them come back and love Hashem, won’t it be your unconditional support?
Chicago people are very warm and friendly and full of Chesed. Does that make them nerdy??
Nobody said that is what makes them nerdy.
I know lots of people from chicago, and there is not a normal person among them.
They are just like everyone else from the New York metropolitan area.
Stay away!!!!!
I think the teacher is being ridiculous.
It is totally harmless, and you will grow out if it.
Tell her to “get a life. like, or something.”
The Birthers aren’t satisfied with questioning Barack Obama, they are insisting on questioning Jeanne Calment!
+1
Nurse or feed upon takeoff and landing.
Obviously after the seatbelt sign is off so you can go nurse in the bathroom.
Jeanne Calment lived to 122.
There is good evidence that she did time travel, and her actual earth years were only 87.

No, Chicago is “in town”, because it is part of the New york metropolitan area.
To those only concerned with the illegality:
20 years ago, it was illegal to do a Bris Mila in Russia. So what is your point?
Metro: Thank you, that is the answer.
Cshapiro: I’m not sure why you read it that I don’t thing women should be driving. It is well known that women are bad drivers.
lady drivers?
Are you sure you didn’t mean to post this in the oxymoron thread?
You can’t force a square peg into a round hole.
I never understood this expression.
It should be: “You can’t force a bigger peg into a smaller hole.”
Because the only thing that matters is the relative sizes of the peg and the hole. The shape does not matter at all.
now, how did you do that
I wonder if the posting of this sign is a violation of the hate crime law. Women are a protected group.
Are ???? a protected group?
