    Anyone 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.

    I 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.”

    I was in brooklyn yesterday, and I saw a goy carrying.

    Really weird goy. Was wearing a hat and jacket and carrying a tallis.

    What 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.

    Lol 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?

    Its quite simple.

    Women did not work in mitzrayim. Hence, they were not freed from slavery. Hence, they need to work.

    Left 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?

    Rabbi 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 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.

    I always thought drisha sounded a bit feminine.

    Is this why that place in NYC where they are mevazeh Hashem is called drisha?

    YU 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.

    There 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.

    Because 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.

    Bachurim 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.

    What does learning halacha have to do with “personal expression?”

    Not 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.”

    My 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.

    Sam: 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.

    This 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.

    No, 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.

    I 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?
