They speak Yiddish in Mir?
Or, perhaps, the OP wishes these women would minimally cover their knees and elbows at all times. Something itself not a given even among the frum.
Or in Miami, Chicago, Baltimore or Cleveland.
I think the OP is most concerned and outraged because in Eretz Yiroel, in the frum communities, there is a higher adherence to halacha.
It’s an open black and white Shulchan Aruch that girls can’t learn Gemorah or other parts of Torah Shel Baal Peh.
He might have gotten married:

GumBall: Does your mom allow you to read the adult discussions that take place in the CR?
GumBall: Does your mom allow you to read the adult discussions that take place in the CR?
No, don’t you get it? The other guys are dating dozens of girls too. There are so many more girls in the market that even if each girl (in the market) gets only one date, each guy (in the market) still gets dozens.
You can research if he was convicted of a crime, but not arrest records. Like aries said, if it was reported in the media, you can search news databases for old stories. But the vast vast majority of arrests are never reported, unless it was for a major crime.
Rick Perry is the strongest pro-Israel candidate.
Police arrest records are NOT public record unless the person was later convicted of a crime. To the best of my knowledge, no such databases exist for public consumption, but law enforcement personnel can generally access them for law enforcement purposes only.
Court records and conviction of a crime IS public record. They can be obtained at the court for a nominal fee, or through various private online databases for a pretty fee.
Yeah, but there is one guy out there dating hundreds of girls. And while hundreds of girls indeed got a date… it was all with the same guy. And only one of them can get married to him.
apy: You make a distinction that the Shulchan Aruch does not. S”A says that a man cannot smell a woman’s perfume. Even if he doesn’t “enjoy” it. You cannot be “aware” of it without smelling it (which is assur per S”A).
popa: Your first comment here chastised a poster for not citing a source. Now when sources are cited, you admit you cannot counter it but that you were taught otherwise (without a source)?
Also, even putting the point you said you were taught (which would only be applicable to a girl going on a date) aside, married women and unmarried women not on a date would be prohibited from going in public with perfume, based on the provided sources, would you not agree?
Aries makes a good point. Should we not give childless couples to be kvatar at a bris, since they may feel (in public no less) as a nebech childless couple? They will thus lose the zchus, which is known as a segula to have children.
Learning is always an option for everyone. Even if he can’t learn well. In learning the *only* thing that counts is the effort. If it takes him a whole zman to finish one blatt (and no more), and he put his full effort into doing that, he is a great and perfect full-time learner who should continue learning full-time indefinitely.
Since, as bein_hasdorim points out, it is only supposed to be noticed by her husband, why would she wear it outside the home in the first place? (Or why would an unmarried girl wear it altogether.)
Definitely not. There’s no way to moderate it before it posts.
Only if it is women only (school and work).
How about the minhug to make Kiddush Shabbos afternoon on brunfen (whiskey)?
IS: People who took on Chasidishe minhagim after the war generally came from families that had Chasidishe minhagim in Europe before the war.
Also, there are few if any people who care more about it than the aseres hadibros.
The sword (gun) is the tool of Eisev.
Do you think I enjoy going to weddings of 19 year olds as it.
You’re not enjoying the weddings of 19 year olds??
I think all the naysayers are correct. Good girls, bad boys. It is high time all these girls boycott and refuse to marry the boys.
600KB: The havdala wine minhag is not a specifically Lubavitch one, nor is it an American one.
In addition to the Birkas Shmuel hello99 mentioned, Rav Moshe writes in a teshuva (Vaad LeHaromas Keren HaTorah) that everyone has an obligation to become great in Torah.
Rav Moshe says mechitza must be minimum 18 tefachim (66 inches). Igros Moshe 1:40, 1:42, O.C. 4:31.
Health, the manufacturers wildly exaggerate in their claims how far it can go. Technically if you are in a flat dessert it may work that far. But not in real life with buildings or mountains in the way.
FRS works for about 1/3 to 1 miles, and doesn’t need a license. GMRS works for about 2 to 5 miles, and technically needs a (easily obtained) license but the GMRS radios are widely sold in Wal-Mart and electronics stores. Ham radios go much further but are expensive and need a license that you need to practice and pass a test for.
I guess the majority of bad female drivers give all females a bad name. 😉
It’s easier to be a good girl than to be a good boy. A good girl, for example, doesn’t have to shteig almost every free minute of her day over a Gemorah, in high school and on.
And the Chinese have no clue there are people who wear shtreimels and bekeshes.
It’s normal.
There’s no need to educate the Chinese that there are human being who wear shtreimels. And there is no need to educate frum NY children that there are frum people who wear tiny yarmulkas, short pants, and colorful t-shirts. It’ll confuse the children into thinking it’s okay to dress however they want. And it’s not okay.
That’s akin to the guy in shtreimel and bekeshe walking down a crowded residential street in Beijing, China.
So you agree the staring in some cases is justifiable. Okay. When a kid who is steeped in Yiddishkeit and knows nothing of the outside world (which is a very good thing) sees someone dressed in a short skirt c”v or wearing a punk hat or even a t-shirt or short pants, that is like the kids in China seeing the guy with the shtreimel and bekeshe.
You think if you visited Beijing, China in a shtreimel and bekeshe that the Chinese kids wouldn’t be staring at you?
It’s normal.
Should fathers be paying attention to children or to Hashem during davening?
The OP complains about tzadikim because they don’t come in the elevator with her. She says that “the whole ride is less than 30 seconds.” Well, I don’t care if there is a rabbi somewhere who says it is okay. There are those who say it isn’t okay. And these men have a right, nay obligation, to follow their posek on that. Even if it offends someone. Because it is something that shouldn’t offend. It should be admired. I mean they’re not telling her to wait for the next elevator! HE is waiting for the next elevator. And HIS hanhaga is to not go in the elevator with a strange woman. Respect that.
agittayid:
You are correct it comes up often. Yet in almost every instance it is brought up by folks who begrudge those who do wear a black hat. Just look at this very thread for example. The OP was not content or comfortable that he himself doesn’t wear a black hat; so he had to question and be dismissive of why should others wear them!
So, yes, you are correct about it being unbecoming. Though that attitude and discomfort is coming from the headgear-less.
twisted: You are challenging Minhag Yisroel?
In any event, it is a matter of public record whether she was previously married or not. Hopefully she hasn’t sinned, but if she has she hasn’t anyone else to blame.
oy vey: Are you in your early teens?
Abelleh:
If you were a uniformed officer in the military and you ran into another uniformed officer, you could immediately start conversing with him about military and geopolitical matters. OTOH, if another person in street clothes walked up to you and started talking to you about military matters, you would rightfully respond to him as if he was unsophisticated in military matters. If you realized in mid-conversation he was an officer too, you would change the perspective and nature of your conversation.
Much the same as you described your experience above.
Do people really wear suspenders under their shirt?
“girly” sounds to be the antonym of “tomboy”.
Enough bickering kids.
What I am trying to understand if this issue affects those overweight or underweight. It seems both kinds have “weighed” in here indicating it affects them.
I don’t think it was right that everyone badgered Avigail until she told us her name.
Little things, big reactions. Amazing.
We got a lot of warnings to do teshuva this summer. I’m not sure how much more blatant Hashem could be.
It would be just as inappropriate in a non-professional relationship. It is inappropriate for Jews.
You would tell your daughter to do something inappropriate if she wanted to?
It would be just as inappropriate if she gave him her number.
Igros Moshe OC I:113 and EH I:56
The Steipler writes in his letters in the name of the Chazon Ish that it is absolutely prohibited.
Regarding a so-called heter that you will embarass her if you don’t shake hands, it’s simple logic: If someone asked you to call them on Shabbos and you telling them sorry I can’t do that would embarrass them for asking, would you be mechalel shabbos to prevent their embarrassment? Or if someone offered you non-kosher food and refusing would embarrass them would you eat treif?
ovktd: No, Rav Moshe was referring to a woman’s hand being extended to a man. He said it is strictly forbidden to accept for the aforementioned reason.
