I disagree. One of the Ukranina brands was actually the crispiest and we were very disappointed not to be able to find any.
“Whether or not he runs in 2024, he will go down as the most pathetic clown in the history of American politics.”
right under Kamala harris
right, sarcastic. except that he never really said it. Twitter much?
Yes! Smerel, spot on!
I have barely been reading these war related threads but I thought he wrote this to illustrate the stupidity of Mdd’s posts, not for covid purposes
Am I reading too deeply here too? Disgusting comment. This applies to nobody, no rav or teacher has ever taught such an option. Unlike some factions perhaps where rewriting the halachos is much easier than actually respecting the ones given, no?
Thanks for that Reb E.
As someone who can’t eat wheat or potatoes i am very grateful for quinoa.“But you are right that estimation of the risk is somewhat subjective”
That is exactly the opposite of what I said. How do you hold yourself so high and then lie about my words and call it a quote? Slimy behavior comes in all forms it seems.
AAQ – sorry, your post, although tangential, is sorely off topic.
I am indeed very fortunate. My husband’s years as Mr Mom honed his medical skills so well that he was able to get me to take ibuprofen which I am told works wonders on a fever.
Mandates? Offers. And yes, my friends did indeed say so outright.
Read too much into your posts??!
Why, I can hardly get enough of them. I wait idly for your words of wisdom and no depth is too deep.😉
Sorry, in bed with fever. Brain is fuzzy.Some of my kids also used to throw insults at people when they were corrected. BH they grew out of it. Somewhere around 4th grade. I wish for you the same success!
Well versed enough to inform you that there are specific guidelines and that they must be met in each case. That’s a pretty clear and comprehensive statement. The little I know came from Rabbi Akiva Tatz’s book on dangerous therapeutics.
If you didn’t know that halacha is determined by standards and not your opinion than you are either a fake or very new at learning. Either way, lol to the mommy’s basement. I am the mommy.Ouch! Not sure that was warranted. It is not unheard of for 30 and older singles to get a presentation from the shadchan and go out yourself to learn the rest without bias, broken telephone or false impressions. If questions arise you can still make calls. I know several who do it that way and I’ve never heard that the shadchan could care less. Nothing about that says lack of interest. If anything it gives a better chance to a shidduch.
move on indeed.
You seem to be unaware (as is AAQ if I recall correctly) that pikuach nefesh is not a phrase that means “can be really dangerous, even fatal, to some people”. There are guidelines to determine if something falls under the halacha of being pikuach nefesh and there has been such a crazy misuse of this over the covid years.
You don’t have the option of applying the requirements of how to behave when pikuach nefesh is involved, unless it actually is pikuach nefesh. And by your comments it seems you may not be well versed on these criteria.I am not sure why he cares who check the references. He can do his checking and they can do theirs each to whatever works for them.
Adding to Amil I would say perhaps an attitude shift may be another productive step to finding the right one. If this is the face they see it might not feel warm and encouraging.GH -This probably is a response to a recent comment in a different thread but my organizational skills are limited.
I hear the disgust/disapproval in your ongoing presentation of full time learning, especially as it connects in your mind to wealthy in laws being bilked. The choice of words serves as propaganda to others as well, creating or enforcing the hate.
What you may not know is that in so many situations the full time learning is a source of tremendous pride, serenity, protection, foundation and affection. It often breeds appreciation between the wife to the husband who exerts and the husband to the wife who exerts. The “bilked” in laws are often not only not wealthy but living financially difficult lives who will thank Gd regularly for having the privilege of supporting someone to whatever extent they can in order for them to learn and bring wealth of a different type to the world.If I had attended the latest simcha event of yours, I could probably describe it in a way that would make it sound tasteless, unappealing, over or under done – or paint it as the most enjoyable, tasteful evening ever. Same event, different glasses. (I in no way think it would have been negative, but that doesn’t mean I can’t spin it that way)
“where her husband was a FT learner with no income”
Why are you assuming full time learners have no income?
AD – you are going waay off topic. I specifically said I am not talking about private. It includes too many people who don’t want to believe. I am talking ONLY about public behavior that is assur. And yes, if Challila a gadol did something like that in public, we would drop him. And no, it isn’t a process that takes time, that is with rumor and private behavior. When a respected Rabbi wrote a column about a topic of hashkofa in a publication and it took a wrong turn, it was over.
And yes, anyone who decides to set fire to someones house on orders of a trusted individual is definitely a cultist, not an eved Hashem. And the trusted individual who picks and chooses who to give such orders to … that too.
But the topic was cult vs religion and when a cult leader starts veering from torah in public expecting approval, and the followers approve, that’s a cult, not a religion.GH – how is it a good point? If he is a rasha gamur and they are supporting him in droves, then they are obviously in cult mode
I believe that in addition to many of the above ‘stuff’, a huge determiner of cult is when the leader starts doing things that are wrong (halachically, morally) and people keep following anyway. Which is why Avirah is wrong about Berland followers. He may have been a talmid chochom at one time but as soon as he was rubbing his hands on female faces, telling people to put explosives under a bed and other things out in the open to followers who don’t call him out on it, well, that’s when it’s a cult. If CH”V a gadol or talmid chochom displayed these behaviors in public, yidden would shut him out.
The problem is when it involves bad behavior done in private. I am not addressing that because there are other factors involved, but PUBLIC displays of inappropriate behavior that are accepted by ‘followers’ indicates cult behavior at worst and non Jewish behavior at best.Mazel Tov to some talented boys at Yeshivas Toras Chaim in Baltimore for composing and recording a beautiful song!!!!!! Definitely worth a listen (and yes, I am hugely biased)

“We also live in a society that suggests to young women that it’s more mentchlich to work…not just work, but to be wealthy and materialistic.”
I think you’ve been reading too many magazines.
I voted trump to keep Hilary out of office so it’s not hard to understand some people voting for Biden. Can’t for the life of me figure out how they can still think it’s going well. Perhaps it’s just that people are that incapable of admitting they were wrong about something.
Hi CS – long time no see
“just because you got yeshiva education and know how to browse internet does not necessarily mean that you understand facts better.”
But those who study science and got a few hours of yeshiva education no doubt are proficient in both. Yup, we hear yaIf you don’t mind saying – what’s with the need to repost newspaper articles about violence against jews past and present? Anyone who wants to read news articles can go find them themselves.
Huju – you are neither naive enough nor stupid to think that makes sense.
Do the people who don’t think the laptop has any info also believe suppressing it before an election isn’t interference? Does the now reviewed as truth information that Clinton wanted a distraction from her email story qualify as interference? Or are you actually thinking made up cnn stories are the only qualifying scenarios?
Me a break?? Why me? I’m not the one freaking out at every turn that the world is coming to an end. Have you read any of your posts lately? On second thought, don’t! They might worry you…
🤣 thanks, I hadn’t been expecting you to clarify!!
Oh please, Reb E. How far are you really gonna play that?
“I just say this since …”
possibly. but i figured you “just say this” because no matter the topic you have been consistent in pushing either fear mongering or just worse case scenarios. I have no clue if this is an anxiety issue for you or an entertainment issue but it’s pretty expected at this point.
In 50 years of listening to Mesilla on the women’s side, I have not ever, not once, had that experience.
stone drunk is your words, not theirs. and your attempts to be extreme for it’s own sake continue, as always, to put Torah and frumkeit in a bad light.
AAQ – I know few things excite you more than stories about people forfeiting their chumros or standards for others. I’ll have to assume it never ocurred to you that it is equally giving and honorable to forgo ones stubbornness and resistance to be strict or machmir. When we went to my parents house, they insisted on serving us the food we ate even if it meant they had only 20 foods on the table instead of 100, even tho we never implied we wouldn’t eat whatever was on their table.
Typical Joseph style – punch with the right but forget the rest of the story.
The places that tell boys to get drunk Ad Dlo Yada ALSO tell them that drinking at night is NOT included in the mitzvah, they must be AD dlo yada so they don’t inadvertently curse mordechai, they don’t pass out and miss maariv, and they are sober enough to daven respectfully and with kavana by nightfall.“I am open to other possible explanations if you have them. ”
not at all. you don’t give credence to things that “don’t work” for you, be they scientific, medical, religious or communal. When it contradicts what you think you call it an agenda or pretend you didn’t hear it. And then claim you are open to alternatives but haven’t heard any. No matter how strongly someone feels about something, or wants it to work, they need to be willing and able to turn on a dime when the facts point the other way.
my point was that when someone brings up points you don’t like you call it an agenda. but that your opinions are somehow exempted from that…
🙂 to quote Kamala Harris.
aw, you stole his line
AAQ – there were people who died from covid that they coincidently got very shortly after the vaccine with no exposure to covid. I know you will spout opinion that that can’t happen but that is your agenda.
“she voices her disagreement but does not explain what she thinks, so I am not able to respond to her concerns.”
False. You often say you would love to respond but you never do.
I used to answer you very clearly and extensively and you would rewrite my comment and distort my question. Sometimes responding to a totally different point or none at all. You would accuse me of saying things I never said, deny things you said or just plain not respond. So why in the world should I bother.#1 if it was moral I wouldn’t disagree.
#2 facts aren’t defined by “stuff that makes sense to me”. Nor can it be defined as “papers i read that i decided were valid”. And not even, “things that don’t conflict with stuff I have already decided were fact”
…he says as he perpetuates the denial theory that nobody died from vaccines. I wonder if you can call the fear mongers murderers?
“Facts can be inconvenient.”
guess that explains why you left out the response from the oil companies?
“It’s all about how righteous Russia is and evil the rest of the world is.”
said absolutely no one.
you must check under a lot of rocks in order to find things you can pretend are commonly out there.Which was basically my point
P.s. I was specifically NOT talking about the non frum.
GH – (The original one) – I’m sorry, your post makes no sense. I hear your constant frustration that people are not accepting of other Jews who are not homogeneous. But to get annoyed that people are not giving respect and tolerance to people who go against Torah (the real one) or who use all their kochos to distort torah and lead others astray is mind blowing. I understand your expectation of achdus and tolerance but are you trying to tell me you actually think that there should be tolerance of people destroy torah? Or are you trying to imply that accusing them of that is just our opinion, or perception and really people can do whatever they want with torah as long as there is a popular concensus?
Are you bothered that people can’t acknowledge the good of chabad because of the bad (which I think you are wrong on, btw), or are you actually trying to say that someone “just being a mashichist” shouldn’t be so annoying to us?These types of posts written here and there are what remind me of the pitfalls of your version of tolerance. Although, as you know, I have NEVER condoned the levels or styles of INtolerance we see here from a few posters, your preferred path seems to have dangerous pits and valleys, whose greatest danger seems to be that you fail to see or acknowledge their presence.
