Also, can you get a low fare if you must fly within a couple of weeks (i.e. last minute)?
No, I think it is very important to cover up, and even lie if necessary, to wash away unsavory or inconvenient facts.
zsdad: I’d have the same issue with someone who fancies the *externals/outside* of his home.
I would never want to be caught in those look-at-me cars.
Only a blind person won’t see in cars when crossing the street or walking. Cars are driving in public not in a garage.
pumper:
As you said yourself that it will always happen with straight skirts but not flairy skirts; the solution is to wear flairy skirts and to not wear straight skirts, as the problem will occur with straight skirts.
minyan: Sure. Why not?
“Asking her out” for a date is most certainly and very much not tznius.
Why cheese cake anymore than kokosh cake, if neither is dairy?
What’s the point of pareve cheese cake for Shavuos?
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday Dear Popa!
Happy Birthday to you!

What was her stated reason for the rejection?
hanab: What did the publication do? Publish something against Talmidei Chachomim? Publish an inappropriate photograph?
Oh please, Charlie. Rabbi Soloveitchik wasn’t an Agudist, even if he was at one time in his life he long left it.
BTW, do you have any authoritative citation that you can show us that he was ever an Agudist?
As mentioned, the same people that “got it back” are the ones that caused its loss in the first place.
All of them opposed its creation beforehand and all (those that were alive) opposed it afterwards. That doesn’t mean they opposed living there; but they opposed Zionism and the State.
Dovid – If you use the logic that since the State was created Hashem “supported” its creation, the same line of reasoning requires you maintain that Hashem “supported” the holocaust.
Dovid – Partial list of gedolim against:
R. Yoel Teitelbaum, R. Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky, R. Yitzchok Zev Soloveitchek, R. Avraham Yeshayahu Karelitz, R. Yitzchok Dov Koppleman, R. Michoel Dov Weissmandl, R. Ahron Kotler, R. Mordechai Gifter, R. Elya Svei, R. Baruch Kaplan, R. Amram Blau, R. Avigdor Miller, R. Yitzchok Hutner, R. Dovid Friedman (Karlin), R. Meir Smika (Dvinsk), R. Yosef Roizen, R. Dovid Freund, R. Chaim Soloveitchek (Brisk), The Chofetz Chaim, R. Shaul Broch, R. Yissoschor Dov (Belze Rebbe), R. Chaim Ozer Grozinski, R. Chaim Elozar Shapiro.
mamash: Why?
The Torah’s penalties are far more just than any passed by a legislature.
It is always far better to daven in a siddur, even if you know it by heart.
mamash: How do you “get rid of one”? (That is the problem the OP is discussing.)
You guys really know how to count, don’t you? LOL.
That said, I think that the father should say “yes”. Plenty of modern orthodox RABBIS wear black hats on Shabat.
Who cares about that? That is irrelevant.
I just wonder if you ‘Kibud Av’ guys would say the same if he wanted to wear a red tie. There’s something about ‘Frum’ that agitates people.
Well said. Many in yelling kibud av here (where it doesn’t apply) would be saying let the kid be himself in the tie case.
HaLeiVi: A moredes can demand a get at will, even with no valid reason (i.e. she wakes up on the wrong side of the bed that morning) even if he doesn’t wish to provide it and beis din will force him?
Daas Yochid (in his clarifying comment) seems to indicate otherwise.
always here, why would you be more surprised it is done by women in their 40’s than those in their 20’s and 30’s? I never knew pritzus to be an age based issue.
Dovid: If the zionists hadn’t instigated for the UN resolution to declare a State, the 6 Arab armies would not have gone to war. and the vast vast majority of gedolim were very much against the zionists.
Suppose that the Arabs had won the 1948 war, that the Medinah had not survived. Do you really think we’d be able to daven at the Kotel?
Suppose the ’48 war was not instigated by the maneuvering of the Zionists, then the pre-48 conditions would remain.
The difference between being able to demand a get is whether or not he pays the kesubah.
She can demand a get at will at any time, assuming she is willing to forgo her kesubah?
I think it is worthwhile mentioning that the case presented here is where she is unmarried. If he did it to a married woman c”v, the penalty would be misa.
Also, even if she is unmarried she would presumably be tameh (nida), and he would incur the penalties resulting from that fact.
I guess the women’s libbers weren’t around in time to influence the Gemorah.
so let her scorch the dinner…surely that’s worse
ayc: She still couldn’t demand a get. Scorching the dinner only gives him the right to give one, not for her to demand one.
ayc: It is brought that often (like with Chana from the Chanuka story) that a husband would “accuse” his wife (with her cooperation) of being a sotah, in order that they should receive the blessing of having children, if they had trouble having children till then.
Also, she can’t demand a get for being (falsely) accused of being a sotah, as it isn’t one of the valid halachic reasons that would entitle her to demand one.
