What if a cockroach was crawling up a woman’s leg. Would you want a man to tell you if he noticed? Why is tznius less important than that?
Sac
It isn’t Gavra who discusses how a woman must treat her body, it is the Torah that tells us.
mod, if an entire thread gets deleted, would that count against a posters deleted count? if so, that could explain a lot of the “innocent” deletion raising the count.
She has to go home and change immediately. So she must be told asap.
omg, what did adorable say so terrible that she got edited??
However, I’m curious if that, too, would cause a chillul HaShem, as it may cause people to think “that guy’s just not normal. Is that what Jews do?”
Au contraire. They would say “Is that what Jews do? Wow, they are a Godly people!”
apy: It IS hazardous for their health. Their spiritual health, that is. And for the spiritual health of all those within eye-site of her. So we have to help her before she gets even sicker, and infects all those around her.
I strongly believe you should have told her, in a nice and respectable way. Otherwise she will definitely continue sinning, and causing others like you who inadvertently see her to sin. If you told her, there is at least a chance, however great or small, that she will take the appropriate corrective action.
Lakewood has hundreds.
Why does it bother her that a guy she never saw in her life doesn’t want to date her?
IOW, little substance and much style.
600kilo: The Hisachdus placed ads in the NY Times.
DY: Thanks. I assume the OP is the subject of the story here, hence you thanking him?
600kilo: I’m pretty sure the Satmar Rebbe protested in public outside the Israeli counsel in Manhattan and also used to put ads (via the Hisachdus) in the NY Times explaining the Torah’s opposition to the State.
MII: What is Son of a Posek?
It is crass for a woman to drink in public.
What does anti-semitism, which we have experienced as long as there have been Jews in the world, have to do with Milchemes Gog Umogog?
DY: Where do you access that search function? (And what does he have to do with it?)
Rav Pam and Rav Berenbaum were the top Roshei Yeshivas respectively, but afterwards there was no one top R”Y?
Shticky: How’d you actually remember this on the exact date of the 5th anniversary? That’s pretty impressive. But the date was probably not in your memory for 5 years, so what made you recall?
When did the YWN blogspot site start? (And how can I read it for more than 10 seconds – till it redirects here?)
And how old is the Coffee Room?
P.S. It’s the 5th anniversary of this address. YWN actual birthday would be whenever the original site started.
A counter ad won’t do any good. They got their message out. And everyone knows the pro-Israel positions, so what good will another ad do?
yid: Guys benefit from Yeshiva in E. Yisroel in a major way that girls don’t derive anywhere near the same benefit from.
Unless it was changed, FAFSA, which is PELL, is based on income.
Mod-80: Why then is dorming in an out of town high school or seminary in the U.S. MUCH less expensive? They too have all the expenses you mentioned.
rescue37: you can’t pick and choose kulas. if the family mesora and rov holds something is assur, a kid can’t still do it cause another rov holds its not assur.
why mike? if someone loves dogs, why wouldn’t he love to be buried with them? 🙂
What topics does the Shmooze cover?
Many people wear sling back shoes, so how does this mesh with the understanding of tznius a large part of Orthodoxy adheres to?
Oy! This is how non-tznius dress spreads unfortunately. Just because “a large part of Orthodoxy” does something, does not make it permissible.
oomis: Yeshivish or Modern? There perhaps lies the different perceptions. But I don’t think anyone is mistaking gowns for dresses. At least by frum non-mo weddings there used to be no gowns on anyone but the Kallah.
oomis: all female guests at weddings wore gowns until recent years???? Not by frum weddings. Isn’t that how it works by goyim, were the female guests generally wear gown to a wedding or even a party like a “ball”? That’s were that idea comes from. But I don’t think that yiddisha weddings EVER had most female guests donning gowns. That would be pretty untzniusdik. Maybe in modern weddings its done differently. But I think the idea of mothers and sisters wearing a gown is an offshoot of that. I remember when the ONLY person wearing a gown at frum weddings was the Kallah.
Mazal Tov to whoever is getting married at the wedding hall I passed by and saw a wedding taking place at.
What changed?
The Red Sox finally won the World Series after 86 years.
Actually nothing changed. The rebbeim had a different minhug than whomever you are comparing it to now.
yb123: How do you take girls on dates without driving?
would you rather your son-in-law sit in kollel all his life and struggle to make ends meet or a boy who went to harvard and will (key word)IYH! make a good living support his wife, your daughter and be a baal chesed and have regular sedorim?
I’d rather my son-in-law struggle in Torah all his life.
essy8: It isn’t tznius altogether. Even a father/husband can’t authorize public drinking by a woman.
Sick!
You don’t have to drive y’know. You can take rides with others or use mass transit.
Is this a trick question? Obviously any frum yid would choose Brisk.
yid: I didn’t say it was. In fact I specifically stated by modern people it may be different. But since we are on an obviously Chareidi website (by name itself and preponderance of posters), the default position is just that.
yid: We are referring to the situation of someone being meikel for a daas yochid. Just because there is a shitta out there somewhere that something is muttar (you can probably find a kula on anything if you look hard enough), doesn’t invalidate the statement that something is assur based on psak halacha that it is assur.
A shitta is not a minhug. It is a psak halacha. So if a shitta is something is assur, even if there is another shitta that holds it isn’t assur, a person would not be wrong to state that it is assur.
Huh? Are we talking about frum people? Or people that have boyfriend/girlfriend relationships? Frum shidduch dating tends to max out at not too many more than 10 dates, so “breaking up” isn’t like you were dating for much more than a month or two, in a rare situation. If you are talking about modern people, it may be different.
