Are there any bummy yeshivos you think he’d like?
Fair warning: he may end up doing bummy things like wearing. His yarlmuke weird and talking bummy and not smoking.
April 16, 2015 12:10 am at 12:10 am in reply to: Yeshivas that offer time for online college #1072639popa_bar_abbaParticipantWhat’s wrong with YU?
April 15, 2015 11:56 pm at 11:56 pm in reply to: Yeshivas that offer time for online college #1072638popa_bar_abbaParticipantHow about maayan hatorah, in Queens.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWhen will his current yeshiva begin allowing it?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantA lot of great rabbis have earned degrees in those fields.
Harbei asu ken v’lo alsah b’yadam.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantAnyone who thinks it is practical to create a Palestinian state anytime in the near future is an idiot.
Move them all to Jordan is also completely impractical, but makes more sense.
Status quo is literally the only practical solution, as bad as that is.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI still don’t see what difference eggs would make that the toppings wouldn’t
Have you learned the sugya? You seem to be conflating two different ways of getting to mezonos.
Someone should write a halacha sefer on mezonos and call it “Getting to Mezonos.”
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThe tallis wasn’t in a bag.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI was in brooklyn yesterday, and I saw a goy carrying.
Really weird goy. Was wearing a hat and jacket and carrying a tallis.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantEating pizza motzei yontiff. Anyone ever meet anyone else who does this?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWhat if everyone in the world is dead, except for you, and the judge, and the abuser?
And you know you will be able to stop the abuser from abusing you (since you know she is an abuser, and now you carry a big board with nails sticking out of it that you found in the rubble). But maybe she will abuse the judge? But if she tries, then the judge will know and will punish her anyway.
So do you tell?
Also, there is nobody to ask, since they are all also dead, idiot.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantLol its in like last week’s daf (which I naturally did like today).
You must be going to a conservative daf yomi and they skip the nonegalitarian parts. I’m guessing a cycle takes about a month-month and a half?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThe worst are morals with no story.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIts quite simple.
Women did not work in mitzrayim. Hence, they were not freed from slavery. Hence, they need to work.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantLeft wingers: you mistake this thread. I wasn’t asking you to rehash your krum sevaraos. Everyone knows there’s as much basis to be mattir kitniyos as to make a Rabbah.
I was just asking what grinds your gears about this. I get that you’ve bought into western immorality and that’s why you want to be mattir the rabbah and the rest of your ordinary stuff.
But why kitniyos? Is this just you trying to find yourselves some split hooves so you can pretend that everything else is not agenda driven?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantSam,
I am not the expert on these matters, but is your last post consistent with Rabbi Lamm’s book?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantRabbi Tendler told me the story is true. This is what happened. If you don’t know the details then I can contact Rabbi Tendler.
(I’m a bit confused by the last line, but this is what you wanted, yes?)
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI was there, and it wasn’t just any cholov stam. It was actually a famous cholov yisroel brand that insiders know is a sham. Witnesses I know have seen them slipping in milk from noncholov yisroel cows.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI always thought drisha sounded a bit feminine.
Is this why that place in NYC where they are mevazeh Hashem is called drisha?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantYU is trying very hard to push into the JLIC.
I wish them success. Maybe we can get some rabbonim on campus who will do some good instead of shmad-ing the few students who remain frum.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThere are different wings to the OU.
The kashrus wing is yeshivish.
The synagogue wing is MO.
JLIC is conservative/chovevei.
It’s hard to know what is the real OU.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantSomebody has been spamming the board for the past couple of days, which makes it too hard to follow conversations or find the threads you were interested in.
In other words: you.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantAlso, they aren’t sentient.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantResponding to Akuperman: I don’t think it’s entirely fair to refer to government services as ‘handouts’
True. Handouts are willingly given. Better to call it “robbery.”
popa_bar_abbaParticipantGiven the huge number of people throughout the world using vaccines, if there was a problem we would be seeing a hugh number of people with autism – and that simply isn’t the case.
You’re joking, right?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIn which DY confuses popa with someone who is socially responsible.
March 24, 2015 2:17 am at 2:17 am in reply to: The story of the Posek who made an Al HaMichya on Qinoa #1066133popa_bar_abbaParticipantRabbi Tendler makes an al hamichya on MBP, because a posek once told him that it’s like eating kichel with herring.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantRule #3: Brois before Frois
March 24, 2015 1:43 am at 1:43 am in reply to: The story of the Posek who made an Al HaMichya on Qinoa #1066131popa_bar_abbaParticipantI heard Rav CHaim Ozer made a borei m’oeri ha’eish on Quinoa to show that it really is a grain, but never heard of anyone making al hamichya.
Sam: that’s a good story. I would have made it up, but you already did.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI am actually machmir that this includes New York
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWho is this son? He isn’t listed on the internet anywhere (I can’t even find a website for them).
Where does he have semicha from? What is his expertise in kashrus?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantnobody looks down on quickie Friedman’s. I don’t know where you pulled that from.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantBecause all the other parties are looking out only for everyone else to the exclusion of the chareidim. So it makes sense that to balance that, the chareidim need to look out for themselves.
Ditto the arab parties.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantcause who cares
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDo you know of many yeshivish for younger bochurim which focus on Halacha? I don’t.
I doubt you are correct, but if you are, it is because nobody wants it.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI’m sorry that that’s your experience, but it’s not mine.
It’s mine.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantBachurim should be encouraged to have hobbies like music, sports, building, etc. because 95% of the male population is not cut out for full time learning to the exclusion of all else.
You liberals are always trying to feminize men, for example here by trying to convince them to do feminine activities like sports, music, building, and working.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantWhat does learning halacha have to do with “personal expression?”
If you don’t like the way your yeshiva learns, find a different one.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantMark Levin: to be clear, the issue runs far deeper than any problematic standards they may have. The bigger issue is that the rav hamachshir is dead.
March 18, 2015 4:23 am at 4:23 am in reply to: NeutiquamErro's favorite thread with an obscure title #1147627popa_bar_abbaParticipantDo y’all read Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality?
I basically hold that is the REAL Harry Potter and JK Rowling’s is the fan fiction.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantNot all Acharonim pasken according to the Mechaber or the Rema.
Yes, we are all aware of how your religion has gone from identifying a shitas yochid that nobody has held of in a thousand years, to simply alleging that “not everyone paskens like that”, or “there are other shittos.”
popa_bar_abbaParticipantI use a dead goat. Then we also eat the goat.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantIt shoudl be at least 6 inches thick.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantMy rav told he that Rav Soloveitchik z’tz’l ate such cheese. My rav doesn’t accept Tablet K for other reasons, not this one.
Your rav implicitly holds Rav Soloveitchik was a bigot and was peddling false halacha (chas v’shalom), and he should not rely on him.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantSam: The eid echod is dead.
And there is in any event certainly way more than enough of a reiusah on whatever eidus there is, that you would need to look into it. I don’t think eid echod means that you are allowed to be willfully blind.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantThis question was already answered by the only CR poster with an ounce of sechel.
The purpose of women working is not to look at them. The purpose of pictures is to look at them.
If a woman was going to work as a model, then certainly I would agree with you that it is innapropriate, even if she is modeling tznius clothes.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantNo, I was asking why they don’t say shelo asani kirtzono. But we actually do say sheasani shelo kirtzono.
Also, if I ever finish my Phd and start teaching linguistics, I’m going to start the semester by reading this thread. Words have the meaning we give to them, but giving words meaning doesn’t change reality. Women are whatever they are, and if you define Jewish as meaning Jewish Male, that doesn’t change any reality.
popa_bar_abbaParticipantDY: We’ve already discussed elsewhere that I just make a sheasani shelo kirtzono.
March 16, 2015 5:16 pm at 5:16 pm in reply to: To The People Who Refuse The Gift Of Vaccines #1166639popa_bar_abbaParticipantI think you are ascribing the words of Rav Shmuel’s wife to him. Read the original news story from Baltimore.
If your wife made public statements, and then a newspaper called to ask you if you agreed with them, just what would you respond?
popa_bar_abbaParticipantOnly a cow can give birth to a bull, but a cow is not a bull.
But the real answer was anyway posted in like the 4th post on this thread.
