    The Litvish, Chasidish and especially the Sefardic world is infused with much kabbalah.

    (2) isn’t a troll. If someone has, what you think is, an extreme position, he is entitled to it. And entitled to defend it. If a Neturai Karta fan is a member here and starts a thread about how we should befriend the Arabs and give them political control over the State of Israel, he is not a troll but rather merely expressing his sincerely held beliefs. Which he is entitled to. Whether you like it or not. And whether you agree with it or not.

    Rav Shlomo Zalman did not say anything in conflict with what I posted (which, in fact, is what any number of gedolim have said themselves.)

    Wine is mhudor, grape juice is yotzei.

    Red wine is most hudor for the Seder. Any wine is better than grape juice.

    Their motivation is Israeli sovereignty, which they don’t anticipate happening in the parts of Eretz Yisroel outside the State of Israel.

    There is no appearance of discrimination if front/back either. (Other than to anti-semitic [including of the Jewish variety] provocateurs, as 600KiloBear cogently pointed out.)

    Right/Left separation has the problem of men and women C”V bumping into each other that front/back does not have an acute problem with.

    Which shittas say you need more than 6?

    And are you talking about needing 6 ready to start to shtille S”E together or 6 ready to listen/respond to start the hoieche S”E?

    Is it a kiddush Hashem or a chilul Hashem when an ostensibly frum Jew who does not keep certain chumras or minhagim that others do tries to make it hard for those who do keep them to do so, because he feels that they make us look bad in front of the goyim?

    A prototypical Chillul Hashem.

    It’s impossible for a Yirei Shomayim to go OTD. So, clearly, anyone going OTD has a lack of Yirei Shomayim.

    OOM: It’s not a crime. Again, segregation is legal. At most, in this case, the allegation is breach of contract (the franchise). But the passengers are not party to the contract, so they are absolved. And I don’t foresee the bus driver parking on the BQE (BP-Willi) to arbitrate an issue between the passengers.

    I’m still waiting for real documentation from you, gavra, for the one source you claimed. But here is a small portion and partial list of the multiples I referred to: R. Ahron Kotler, Satmar Rebbe, R. Hutner, R. Schorr, Klausenberger Rebbe, R. Svei, Skulener Rebbe, Bobover Rebbe, R. A. Miller, Viener Rov.

    The bus driver is driving. And a multi-ton bus. It is dangerous for him to get involved in conversations between passengers. A bus driver is not liable for their conversations.

    If the above shittas is correct that you don’t need all 9 answering, then why do you need 6 davening with the minyan + 4 not davening but answering with the minyan? You should be able to have a minyan of only 6 people.

    Ah, thanks. Didn’t get that. I still don’t see how the concept of tinok shenishba could apply to a goy. A goy is a goy. They, as a rule, practice immorality as a lifestyle.

    There is no such thing as tinok shenishba by goyim.
