wrong, wrong and wrong. Especially if you talking about 30 years ago
1.30 years ago the requirement was 120 hours with a certain amount of accounting credits in New York. some other states started earlier but most states with frum populations were later
2. so what, you still need work and experience. The is no difference in salary for the first few years whether you have a license or not. It will prevent you from promotions and more money after a few years, but not starting ut
3. the salary of any job plateaus, basically if you want to make more money you need to move up in position and responsibility.
4. There is reciprocity between most states as long as you have been working long enough,

I don’t know if you are aware of what is really going on then with such a question. A lot of bochrim want and/or have smartphones. Excluding the bochrim who are really serious about learning, based on my own experience and observations the more stringent a yeshiva is about ossuring them the more bochrim want and hide them. My son was in Mir Yerushalayim last year and while Mir has a policy, the facts on the ground are the a lot just have 2 phones at the begining of the zman when they do their check and then get rid of them. When my son needed wifi for a certain period, he went to look to buy a hotspot, and was offered to borrow one from someone he met in the store learning in a yeshiva which is much more choshuv on the resume than the Mir. When I asked why a bochur in that yeshiva would have a hotspot he told me that half the place there has, they are only there for the resume. Asking why a bochur needs one is akin to asking why does there have to be chulent and schnapps by a kiddush in shul, what’s wrong with just some herring and kugel or even just herring. This is the world we live in, sticking our head in the sand and asking why they need instead of developing a way to teach them to use it the right away as needed is just poor parenting. There are Roshei Yeshiva that get this and there are those that don’t. When I spoke to my son’s Rosh Yeshiva about the 2 phones at Mir clearly against the policy the Rosh Yeshiva (the son of a big well known Rosh Yeshiva/talmid chacham who is involved in setting policy for this yeshiva) said to me and I quote “They just don’t understand the bochrim over there” and encouraged me to follow the 2 phone plan.

One plus of a tablet that only works off of wifi is that is limits the screen time. Instead of walking around with a smartphone all day and playing with it, it limits you to where and when you could be wasting time. I know of a yeshiva that encouraged the bochrim to get rid of their smartphones (which were all filtered and monitered by the yeshiva) for a simple flip phone and have a tablet instead.

There was a story where some girls came to Rav Shach asking for a bracha for ashidduch and he told them, you already met your bashert, the problem is you turned him down for some silly reason.

You forgot the biggest problem – “IT WILL HURT THE SHIDDUCH”, although almost all the teachers in my daughters school this year (who is in 12th grade) have been telling my wife and I that Touro is no good either. One teacher just said to us a PTA, well you know, there was just a story of a girl running off with a professor at Touro. I told her, that may be, but there are also stories of molestation in some yeshivas, so does that mean I shouldn’t send my sons to yeshiva? I think she may still be in the ICU as her bubble was popped.

The point is to make it darker earlier on the clock so the kids will go to sleep earlier and/or to give them more dark time at night for night activities. This way a night activity can start at 8pm and not 9pm

My father used to tell me he was a counselor there, but all he ever mentioned was that I shouldn’t complain about my camps as he had outhouses there.

I have been happy for the past 38 years using norelco shavers. There are some Rabbonim who say lift and cut is not a problem. If you don’t want to rely on them just have them removed.

besides the cost which has gone up very significantly since the requirement for a Pharm-D degree, you also need to keep in mind that most retail settings, even if you can get out of the shabbos issue or if they are closed on Shabbos, will want at least one evening a week and some Sundays. This may not be a big issue as you start out, but as kids get older it can cause child care issues that are not always so easy to deal with.

Since Bnoy Yaakov is only a high school it needs to attract girls from other schools i.e to feed them girls, hence the term feeder school.

Bnos Yisroel is a school in Flatbush run by Rebbitzen Groner (wife of the mashgiach of Chaim Berlin who passed away a few years ago). Bnos Yaakov was started by a former teacher at Bnos Yisroel. I beleive there are around 10-15 girls from this year’s 8th grade at Bnos Yisroel who will be going to Bnos Yaakov.

take the $30-$50k you would have wasted and spend some on a seminary here in the US where you will most liekely gain more. Take the rest and invest it so when you get married you will have a nest egg to start off with or a larger downpayment on a house.

Various articles have said that the average salary is $35,000 a year. While I am geenrally not a union believer, even accounting for the vacation and summer they get, I fully understand the union trying to protect the drivers.

actually IIRQ the REMA actually says an hour

I worked the night shift for a while when i was in college. The only way I found to really adjust was to not go to sleep the day after the last night shift and force myself to be active during the day. I then went to sleep about an hour or two earlier that night and woke up at what I needed to be my regular time for the rest of the week.

The simple solution is that the parents should no longer be involved with any aspect of setting up a shidduch. The shadchanimshould deal directly with the bochur and maidel and they in turn should not be allowed to discuss with their parents any questions they have related to the finances of the shidduch. They can ask/discuss questions about midos and such. Leave the financial consideration off the table from the parents and you will have plenty more bochrim saying yes a lot quicker.

As evidenced by the recent demand for busses on Thanksgiving, I think the lack of common sense is the clincher in my dislike of lakewood. There are 2 holidays a year that most americans hold as very important family holidays. To even think of requesting or requiring them to work goes beyond the pale.

Rav Ovadia Yosef has paskened numerous times in the past that a sefardi cannot be yotzei listening to an ashkenazi leining, it would come out from that that an ashkenazi cannot be yotzei from a sefardi leining. (I don’t think Rav Yosef would agree though, as he holds the ashkenazi mesorah is wrong)

What a wondeful way to start off a marriage. BY LYING.

I went to boro park for shabbos to somebody who uses the eruv and we knew in advance would want to take our baby to shul on shabbos. We asked a posek and were told you don’t say anything to her and you don’t stop her.

I don’t remember, but Rabbi Reisman had a shiur a few years back called “Fargin, Farkook, Fargess” where he tried to define them in english.

Make sure you get the correct mask for you. I had to fight my doctor and actually change doctors to get a full face mask since my nose would get to congested. You may want to start by sitting in a recliner or on your couch in the begining for an hour or two breathing with the mask. I know someone who bought a recliner for his room, and slept in the recliner for a few months until he could et used to the mask and the machine. Also play around with the humidifyer settings to get the most comfortable for you. If you don’t have one with a humidifyer, get one.

Out of curiosity, what is the going rate?

I heard a shiur from R’ Pearl this morning and he said there are many different shittos. He said according to R’ Moshe it is required only after biah rishonah. He said there was a case where after a year that still hadn’t happened and I think he said R’ Dovid said (could’ve been he said R’ Moshe) that the women did not have to cover her hair.

Pac-man I will let you continue to live in your fantasy land. Foecefullness can be done in a passive manner also. When a daughter comes home (brainwashed or not) from seminary that they have to only marry a guy that will sit and learn and there are other yet to be married children behind her, the forking over of money is not always so willingly. Every parent wants to see their child get married, and they will occasionally do things they do not believe in or can even afford in order to move along. Because if they don’t do those things the possibilities of shidduchim for the other children becomes a lot harder. Also, parents love for their children is to such a great extent that they will do thigs to thier own detrement just to take care of thier child. But don’t for a minute believe that just because they are doing it, they are doing it willingly. It is not a sentiment that will ever get passed the censorship of the yated or hamodia and end up there, but if you listen carfully to how people talk you will see that even the gvirim that give a lot sometimes feel their hands are tied and they give anyways to avoid confrontations etc.
