ubiquitin, I’m disappointed in your last post–you just decided to join CR tradition and cruelly mutilate our language?
February 24, 2016 7:07 pm at 7:07 pm in reply to: Should Yeshiva's (all of them) say Mishberach for Israel soldiers on Shabbos? #1139736screwdriverdelightParticipantYes. Even though trump is going to have it all figured out, will eliminate terrorism, and be friends with everyone, we must realize that strenght doesn’t come from man, and even he needs help from Above.
February 24, 2016 6:53 pm at 6:53 pm in reply to: If Bernie Sanders is Jewish, I'm a Christmas Tree #1139567screwdriverdelightParticipantIf Dorothy’s mother was jewish, then Bernie is. Nothing else matters, including his mother’s name. That is the Halacha.

screwdriverdelightParticipantThe honking issue was finally addressed by Simcha Felder in this past week’s Hamodia (Features page 9), although his claim that it’s done mostly by taxi drivers and that the way to deal with it is by urging the TLC to control their drivers is incorrect (understatement).
screwdriverdelightParticipanthe meant “is today’s daf gittin 68?”
the answer is yes.
screwdriverdelightParticipantR’ Soloveitchik famously said that nowadays anyone who doesn’t teach their daughters torah teaches them tiflus.
screwdriverdelightParticipantAnd no, getting the “Slow down” message does
not mean that your post has been rejected
do you mean to say that it never goes through or that mods won’t necessarily reject it?
screwdriverdelightParticipantneither did I. Can you explain it?
screwdriverdelightParticipantyou’re getting there, squeak. A few more posts like these
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/bar-mitzvah-seforim-gift-ideas#post-599814
and you’ll get it.
screwdriverdelightParticipantYou are all excellent at seeing trees. Now here’s a secret. If you climb up and look over them you will be able to see there is a forest.
Wow. I used to like you, Squeak.
screwdriverdelightParticipantFrom what I’ve seen of R’ Hershel Shechter’s anti-B”D tirades, most of his ta’anos are that Batei Din that allow to’anim are dishonest, which is too general a statement to be accurate. I’ve also seen him spread literal libel about certain Batei Din.
B”D usually charges per hour, as mentioned, and it is split between the plaintiff and defendant. In the extremely rare cases where the plaintiff had no real claim, and the defendant went to b”d only because he didn’t have a choice in the matter, his fee is usually waived. (I don’t know if the plaintiff has to pay it, or if b”d loses out.)
It is wisest to go to a reputable b”d and that neither side should have to’anim. If the dayyanim are talmidei chachaim (if they’re not, find a different b”d), to’anim are unnecessary and are just an additional expense. R’ Shechter also has a valid point that to’anim could drag out a case, and that in inept batei din, the to’anim could cause a misruling. This isn’t c”v saying that all to’anim are crooks, and k”v not saying that all batei din that allow to’anim are corrupt.
screwdriverdelightParticipant1) The Brisker Rav lived in Eretz Yisroel. Why would he have $50 bills?
2) If he gave it, how may he take it back?
3) Why would he put in a $50 bill and not a $1 (or a piece of paper, or hair, for that matter)?–or was the point that the money could be kept, but only if he uses it?
4) How does the fact that the bill was still there prove that he never opened it?
5) A lot of people have a lot of s’forim which they use only from time to time. The fact that after a few months, the boy was still finishing shas and hadn’t yet the opportunity to peruse the Rav’s Seifer doesn’t mean anything. If the seifer had been opened, we would be hearing something about our dor where 13 year old boys are learning Brisker Ravs before they know anything else.
screwdriverdelightParticipantAbba_S and jewish source, you actually both touched on the exact reason why I was compelled to come here and vent. I was destined to be with a few other people, one of which just didn’t stop. Literally. When he wasn’t blabbing and making corny jokes and screaming, he was humming aimlessly and was very annoying. It wasn’t that we were having a conversation–I haven’t the faintest idea who he is–but we were there together, in a place I couldn’t leave at the moment. I was thinking of asking him to shut it–if he was capable, of course–but I wasn’t sure he was being in the wrong, and I was too vexed to think about if I had the z’chus to ask him to be quiet, so I decided for second best, to just wait it out and pour my heart out later in the welcoming forum of the CR. (Actually, I too was surprised it was permitted, HIR).
Thanks all for listening and being so supportive of me. I breathe easier now.

screwdriverdelightParticipantJoseph, the rama’s no slouch, either.
screwdriverdelightParticipantThere’s no such thing as even number day!
2. Well, why not?
4. That’s not what she said.
screwdriverdelightParticipantI tried bumping this recently and mods didn’t let. Let’s see if I can do it now. (I have to succeed, now that HIR escalated this to a conflict.)
screwdriverdelightParticipantUh-oh. This calls for backup.
screwdriverdelightParticipantWho asked you?
screwdriverdelightParticipant<unbump>
January 28, 2016 8:24 pm at 8:24 pm in reply to: POLL: How many posters do you know in real life? #1134928screwdriverdelightParticipantDY, yes, of course. What I meant was that even though defining it may give you more options for resolving it, it won’t stop more people going out with each other from being an adequate resolution.
screwdriverdelightParticipantMay I remind you that you said:
Why don’t you bump the one that says “how do you bump”?
January 28, 2016 8:17 pm at 8:17 pm in reply to: POLL: How many posters do you know in real life? #1134924screwdriverdelightParticipantDY, That’s one way of solving it. Or you can get more people to go out with each other.
January 28, 2016 8:16 pm at 8:16 pm in reply to: POLL: How many posters do you know in real life? #1134923screwdriverdelightParticipantHIR (to save DY the task):
h) the inability to discuss shidduchim in a public forum
Presto!
January 28, 2016 8:11 pm at 8:11 pm in reply to: POLL: How many posters do you know in real life? #1134919screwdriverdelightParticipantI’d rather define it as the inability to discuss anything other than shiduchim in a public forum. With the CR, we see it firsthand.
screwdriverdelightParticipantIt’s not original unless they think of it themselves.
January 27, 2016 8:03 pm at 8:03 pm in reply to: POLL: How many posters do you know in real life? #1134912screwdriverdelightParticipantSure, if you define “the shidduch crisis” as not having many dates. According to that definition, chassidim have the worst shidduch crisis, since they have beshows.
How you define the shiduch crisis doesn’t effect how it’s resolved.
January 27, 2016 8:02 pm at 8:02 pm in reply to: POLL: How many posters do you know in real life? #1134911screwdriverdelightParticipantyummycupcake didn’t get married to another poster (or did she?)
screwdriverdelightParticipantIt got approved.
screwdriverdelightParticipantwhy was that site allowed?
January 27, 2016 7:56 pm at 7:56 pm in reply to: No, you don't own the parking spot you dug out for the next two weeks #1134010screwdriverdelightParticipantThe one who dug it out doesn’t own it for the next two weeks, but if anyone else wants to take it, they should first have to move all the snow back and then dig it up themselves.

January 27, 2016 7:45 pm at 7:45 pm in reply to: POLL: How many posters do you know in real life? #1134908screwdriverdelightParticipantBut there has yet to be a CR wedding. chaplainzvi and gefen got married via the CR.
January 27, 2016 7:43 pm at 7:43 pm in reply to: POLL: How many posters do you know in real life? #1134906screwdriverdelightParticipantI will occasionally email various posters identities to each other in the hopes of resolving the shidduch crisis
But there has yet to be a CR wedding.
Resolving the shiduch crisis doesn’t necessarily mean people will get married. It just means more people will go out with each other.
screwdriverdelightParticipantLF, you’re referring to this?

screwdriverdelightParticipantBUMP
screwdriverdelightParticipantprobably the same thing in-towners did.
screwdriverdelightParticipantJoseph, how’d you know about that?
screwdriverdelightParticipantgood thread title.
screwdriverdelightParticipantThe whole RLUIPA doesn’t make sense. Towns and cities have zoning laws for a reason, “They don’t want their town to turn into Lakewood,” and there’s no reason why every town should have to accommodate religion institutions that don’t satisfy their requirements. The law borders on unconstitutional and is definitely discriminatory.
From a tactical standpoint, the Yeshiva should forgo their right to open there and save religious freedom for more important matters. Suing Ocean County now will only fester anti-Semitism and wariness over “Jews taking over”.
