How high
I believe the stat about babies not vaccinated developing faster than vaccinated babies, but it doesn’t prove that vaccines slow development. It is simply because the parents who do not vaccinate are so much smarter and superior in every way to other parents, and that superiority naturally manifests in their offspring.
You need to show him unconditional love. And daven. For anyone else out there having babies learn from this and teach them to choose wisely when theyre young before they develop their own preferences.
My CRT responses are usually longer but I skipped the first part of the response that was to validate your concerns because I prefer telling people what to do, especially if its useless banalities.
DY – we rarely agree but sometimes the subject of the disagreement surprises me as this one does. Did you really say that there would be a shortage of teachers if there was a policy not to hire every years’ new seminary crop? Just about every frum woman is either employed by or would love to be employed by a school. I find it hard to believe that mothers would suddenly stop seeing school jobs as convenient simply because of a policy not to hire single girls… au contraire, oversupply would still be a problem.
Your later post to Syag seemed to clarify tbat you meant they would start other careers, but that is laughable. These are not ambitious girls. These are girls who shun college and corporate environments for ideological reasons. What career opportunities do they have other than babysitting and worki g for a school?
Finances are not the issue. A mature experienced teacher does not need 2 assistants and 1/3 of an administrator. You get a higher student to teacher ratio but one that is manageable by more capable staff.
If the hiring pool is closed off to such girls, say in a legal way such as requiring them to sign a contract to finish the year or pay penalties, the supply of applicants goes down. Wages go up to retain the committed teachers, since they are no longer threatened by girls just looking for a parking spot.
Does photography make you happy?
Syag – why would the married women make more? They are easily replaced by a sem grad. The same would be a problem for Rabbeim if the oilem had not taken active steps to ensure living wages were paid.
DY- to your third paragraph: I actually feel that by expanding the employment base to allow such young, inexperienced, and flighty girls to have employment you have limited your pool of qualified teachers. Cheaper labor wins and drives out qualified teachers (perhaps they become administrators?). Offer a good wage and you get more qualified applicants.
i guess you decided to go with the humorous approach :p
Syag – hilarious. I especially liked the bit about having no money. My grandson’s daughter just took one of them teaching posts and she is earning less than what I made as an apprentice during the Great Depression, no adjustment for inflation. Financially the difference for those girls between working and not working is roughly a cup of coffee. Which may have something to do with their lack of committment. But it is definitely why the school likes hiring them.
feivel – hence my comment about Mr. Fine. Outrageous that nobody got that
Same goes for posting. One day perhaps Joseph will also reach this madreiga.
Those who are pointing out hypocrisy or misplaced priorities of animal rights extremists misunderstand their worldview. Humans are the source of all problems and they support anything that reduces their numbers, including genocide ala ethnic cleansing or ISIS or infanticide. Their utopia would be a world where there were no human births above a fixed ratio, where humans are euthanized as soon as they cease to be productive, and where humans living in areas that were once animal habitats would leave (or feed themselves to the starved displaced animals).
“As the Chofetz Chaim says: the malachim judge you the way you judge others.”
I didn’t realize malachim judge people. Which message board did the chofetz chaim post that on?
“It’s like that old (sad) joke of Moshiach going into a Chassidish Steibel wearing a fedora and was rejected because “how can Moshiach not be wearing a Streimel, then goes to a Yeshivish Shul wearing a Kippah Seruga and the same thing happens…”
Well maybe he should have stopped changing his head covering before going in to each place. Then at least he’d have gotten one place right. Or if he needed to keep changing then he should have changed to the right style for each place. I wouldn’t accept a moshiach like the one in your story either.
What’s there to be wary of? Is there a downside to accepting a connection?
Could there be a more epitomic Joseph quote?
Similar to the concept of shallishudis, I start my shower before the 9 days and never stop until tisha bav is over. Whenever I need to go somewhere I take the shower with me so there is no hefsek. I’ve gotten a few funny looks over the years doing this, but nothing compared to the looks folks who haven’t showered in a week get.
A person is worth a few selaim…. the word you’re looking for is erkecha
Wow… Joseph?! Unreal. I guess Dr. Frankenstein was feeling extra nostalgic if he resurrected the both of us.
In the CR, it is < Em>phasis marks that are used for Quotation. What a crazy world.

If you ever read the business section of the newspaper, you will always see about growth. Anaylists of businesses expect growth, they ask how much growth is a business doing. If you also know business, sometimes growth can be a bad thing. If you grow too much you can take on more than you can handle. You might get too many orders and the business cant handle it, Or you might expand into an area that was a mistake. Business expansion and growth doesnt always work and sometimes backfires (More than you realize).
You should have created a different username to post this. This may well be the only thing you have ever posted in the CR that has positive value for upwardly mobile Orthodox Jewry (despite how you may have intended it).
My toe’s blue ohalecha yaacov. Hope that was helpful.
You will find intelligent people everywhere you look. Obviously not all people are intelligent, but intelligent people do all kinds of things that you might not expect. Working behind the counter is not even a good example of a place where I’d be surprised to find intelligent people.
If the concern about the behind the counter guy is actually something else, such as not making enough money for you or not having enough prestige, or maybe you worry that he lacks ambition and about the problems that come from that – then say so. By talking about your concern instead of beating around the bush you’ll have a better chance of assessing the situation to see if your worries are justified or not.
People here believe it is real, I’m not convinced, but it doesn’t mean I can’t humor them.
Shabbos app not available for blackberry is why
You just perjured yourself. You said you’d be visiting the Ahavas.
The merger was in the late 40s mamash invei hagefen vinvei hagefen. The original yeshiva was founded at the turn of the century, you couldn’t ask for greater yichus. In case you were going to ask, any bad habits you might have heard of might have been true once but they quit.
Also, #1 of mine is easily significant enough on its own to debunk the simplistic math. The quoted figure is 105 males born to 100 females consistently. That’s a 5% disparity per year my friend. In order for population growth to render that insignificant you would need to prove a growth rate a few percent higher. Suppose you said 8% for a net excess of 3% girls. You would have to believe our population doubles every 9 years to argue that. Preposturous.
DY- don’t make the mistake of thinking that I present myself in the CR the way I do IRL. And even in the CR I only take that tone because I know its a waste of time with you or AZ (n.b. you are very much like Joseph in this regard, having one sided debates and demanding that your opponents repeat themselves time and again or you win the debate by default). You are farkoift and shut off to all reasoning; anything and everything to you only supports your foregone conclusion to force boys to close the age gap.
Also, I haven’t been ignored, I’ve had endless dialogue. I didn’t convince NASI folks to stop, but I know it was not because of my approach.
The reason not to manipulate people into closing the age gap is because you don’t have any evidence that doing so is actually beneficial. If there were an actual reliable study that took into consideration all relevant factora, which showed that we should expect a census of shidduch age folkz to consistently be imbalanced year after year because of age differences, then we could talk. Nothing of that nature is even being considered, the backers of this would take any mumbo jumbo out of a garbage can if they thoughg it would support their cause. Latching on to Avi Chai demonstrates this. I won’t speculate here as to why.
You were dismissive point by point. There was no analysis. I don’t think you understand that i was listing randomly factors that impact demographics other than birth rates. You can’tignore those factors and then expect to be taken seriously as a demographer.
You continue to show that you do not wish to properly identify the problem as long as you can address something that feels like it should help. I will never agree with you on that. Without properly defining the problem, any solution you develop is just going to make things worse. And that’s why you and all the other age gappers are nothing but troublemakers.
That’s what you call analysis? No wonder we don’t understand each other.
Extra boys born, extra boys dying, extra boys going otd, extra girls becoming frum, extra girls buying into the torah only philosophy, chassidishe girls crossing over, boys who are not torah only material being overlooked, etc. The list doesn’t end there.
Come on, only a simpleton would think the math is as simple as you claim.
DY – we’ve had dialogue, the same over and over. We both know at this point that nothing either of us can say in this chatroom to convince the other. I’ve said everything on the subjecthat I will here, and from here on out its just reruns. I’m Ok losing to the propoganda machine, I know tbat I’ve done everythin I can. I am not just having a discussion here.
I don’t know anything at all about this but I know I’ve heard ads on the radio thousands of times for “freeinventorskit”. If you’ve never heard of it, maybe it’s worth checking out (just make sure that you’re not required to sign too much away for the sake of the free boost start).
“So you’re also copping out on me.”
A) You’re copping out on yourself. You don’t need someone here to explain what a proper statistical study entails. And you would probably choose not to accept it as necessary even if I did.
B) What would be the point of copping in? As if posting how a proper study is done is more beneficial than communicating that directly to the very people who claim to be in this business (which I have done).
Yenta, he means me, so don’t be insulted.
GIYF
DY are you crazy? I am not being humorous now. There are so many non humorous explanations.
I won’t discuss my requirements for a real study here because then people would know who I am.
Syag – I am ESTJ
Ivory – only because they are not pretty enough or rich enough to snag a litvishe learning boy.
DY that’s what i said.
Golfer. Thank you. Its not the first time Ive said this here either and if you look back you will see some other thoughts i had (including some serious ones).
Now i will drop it because i was just being humorous but do not wish to have it go so far that anyone could be insulted by my casual joking. I am more chassidish than litvish myself and certainly do not wish to cast any real aspersions on chassidim in any way.
Wait- Passaic is a real place? I thought it was just a euphamism for when we weed out misfits from society… like, “Dave graduated from aish someach and is going to live in ‘Passaic’ or ‘Baltimore'”. It means the poor soul is an unperson. Was I wrong about that? Is Baltimore also a real place?
Amazing how everyone here read one document that happens to have numbers in it and out of that earned a PhD in statistics and demographics! I thought we were going to hear from chaliehall? Oh wait, you decided to antagonize him about his rabbi in this thread, no wonder he hasn’t come back to comment.
I won’t go through all of the reasons why this study doesn’t prove anything about a shidduch crisis (again) because google can help you find old posts. But since we are proving things anecdotally, how many litvishe or sephardic girls do you know who married chassidish boys? Practically none do. How many chassidishe girls do you know who married litvishe boys? I know a large number. Point is, no one wants to marry a chassidishe boy, not even chassidishe girls. Thats why they have a crisis, and that’s why litvishe boys outnumber the girls in their parsha.
I dare you to prove that anything else contributes to the shidduch crisis.
Everyone in the world knows that. Its just part of living in Brooklyn, if you ever want to go in to NYC proper you need to take a bridge or a tunnel. One disagreement though – there are always major delays, not just sometimes.
Bad comparison joe. Instead, ask how the conversation would go if it was about a person who has a bad habit of biting her nails on Shabbos, or a guy who sometimes oversleeps shacharis.
What is Passaic?
You said ask any specific questions, so I did.
Why do you always ask who is it before you buzz us in?
Joseph- you’re in denial.
DY – agree that the purpose is not to sincerely reduce chillul shabbos. I think the intent is to cool off the bathwater. Re your question, I would think its still the wrong thing to do but ayolor.
It’s not a joke at all, at the very least it is a blatant attempt to mock our values and our poskim. No amount of saying “haha we/they were only kidding” excuses any of that. That doesn’t fly in the grown up world.
I have strong evidence that convinces me the app is no joke though.
Re ZD’s psak halacha- if someone asks you for directions on Shabbos you do not answer, shelo lichazeik oivrei aveira.
There is no controversy over the shabbos app. There is only the old familiar controversy of Reform trying to infiltrate and fix the Orthodox.
Use crisco not soap. Then rain doesn’t matter
