There is no difference between the “right-wing”/Likud and the “left-wing”/Labor parties in Israel on social issues, as far as the Torah community is concerned. They are both the same junk.
They have. And they should be filing suit if the city passes this.
We should all be mochel everyone across the board here.
I am.
Maybe Goq can repeat it.
Yasher Koach.
Jewish Week just posted a story that Agudas Yisroel of America is going to sue the Bloomberg Administration in court if the Health Dept. passes a consent form on MBP.
Sam: Why is it a halachic problem for a younger guy to charge the same rate as an older guy?
The gedolei rabbonim shlita already advised the mohelim and parents to disregard the upcoming NYC health dept. regulation on bris milah.
popa: The M site is moderated. It is not much different than here.
What does “unofficially engaged” mean?
What’s a telethon?
Okay, I won’t stop you from attending Congregation Emanu-El.
Achdus, REGARDLESS of the cause, is a good thing.
Really? If we would, b’achdus, have a big party with mixed dancing and pritzus’dik people — all b’achdus — it would be “a good thing”?
How nice?
A “U” in an “O” (i.e. a circle), is the kosher symbol for the Orthodox Union, the largest (by far) kosher cerifying agency in the United States. That symbol on a food product, indicates the product is kosher. The “P” next to the O-U symbol means the food product is not just kosher all-year round, but it is even Kosher-for-Passover use. (The 8 days of Passover has much more stringent kosher requirements.)
The “pareve” designation indicates it has no dairy or meat in the food product (and this can be consumed with either dairy or meat products.)
How upscale is the neighborhood? How rich is the family?
That’s the obvious (and correct) reaction to such a misguided situation. So what’s the chiddush here?
The OP is correct. All Chasidishe shittos hold that cholov stam is assur.
There was a tornado in NYC today? I didn’t even notice. Seemed like just some rain.
aurora: Yes, it is very common to go to 12:45 AM selichos, on the first day of selichos. (Generally, only the first day.) In my city, there are hundreds of such minyanim.
And, no, women do not go to a minyan for selichos and usually don’t say it altogether.
Actions do not determine rishus. Rishus is determined by a mindset.
Actions DO determine rishus.
Apology accepted.
1 in 5,000 is widely inaccurate. It isn’t even close to that.
How does this PSA help anyone?
akuperma: The under bar mitzvah child owns no property. It belongs to his parents, who can enter into a contract. Thus it can be confiscated per the parents contractual agreement with the school.
(Or am I mistaken about all of a katan’s objects are his parents property?)
TCJ a/k/a Moishy: And if it lands face up, you’ll eat it?
Rabbonim have the right to make takanos upon the kehilla.
Emuna Pshuta.
That should be good enough for anyone.
Umm, how would anyone know what non-kosher product they would like to become kosher — unless they previously tried the treif products??
rob: If a Tanna or Amora’s vision wasn’t at par, surely he would ask someone else with good vision to check rather than rely on his own subpar vision.
The working suspicion is that someone who has immediate and private access to these horrible sites, is liable to be suspected as possible having visited these forbidden sites.
If an eid is pasul he cannot be an eid for kiddushin.
And I’m sure he told him quietly and privately. That it is in the media is likely because he told someone what happened to him privately, and from there it spread. (And still none of the reports indicate who it happened to.)
The iphone has the capability to instantly and privately go to all strictly halachicly forbidden sites. And in Eretz Yisroel they have long been makpid to make sure the kehilla members do not have such a powerfully destructive device always on their belts.
It was the right thing to do.
Spray your aunts with some RAID.
That’ll be the last of them.
What does “certain rabbonim” mean? That others disapprove? That it isn’t the known reliable hechsheirim?
Definitely avoid those anti-religious anti-Judaism YIVO and their ilk and those forbidden movies. They will not only not teach you Yiddish, but rather they will indoctrinate you with their anti-religious ideals. And what they teach is a dead dialect that no real people even use in real conversations, as opposed to the living Yiddish lived by hundreds of thousands of real, living, Torah Jews throughout the world (North America, South America, Europe and of course Israel.)
The only way to learn Yiddish, is to live it. Live it with those living Yiddish, not those dying anti-religious breeds. Definitely spend time in a frum Jewish neighborhood where Yiddish is the first or second language of the frum Jews. And read Torah true Yiddish books. Frum Yiddish books written for children can be very helpful in learning the language. And send your children (when you have) to Yiddish speaking Yeshivos and Beis Yaakovs.
You’re still within the edit window time to edit out that sig. 🙂
Sam: Also, am I correct in recalling that if a Yid regrets doing a mitzvah, he doesn’t lose it; whereas a Goy does lose it due to regret?
Thank you.
I didn’t comment about their being more machmir.
I thought the rule was by a Yid who didn’t want to do a mitzvah (but did it), it is still a mitzvah. By a goy, not.
Scrabble.
The tzedukim were more worldly.
Moving to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York will probably do the trick fastest.
Another quick way to do it, is to marry a Yiddish speaking husband. 🙂
Thank you, mischiefmaker.
You’ve said all that needs to be said about this issue.
apy: If he shouldn’t have been on there in the first place (and he shouldn’t have) and if he shouldn’t have sung the pruste songs he sung (and he shouldn’t have), that ends the discussion. It is entirely meaningless and irrelevant that “millions of non jewish viewers were impressed”. It is still a massive Chillel Shem Shamayim. Just as if he would have “impressed millions of non jewish viewers” by undergoing a baptism.
You have a Brooklyn contingent in almost any frum Jewish community in the U.S.
