TheBear: Were you dressed obviously Jewish, yarmulka and all?
We do not and should not change our current mesorah-based minhagim.
Next thread, please.
At least you wont be patronizing the tziyonim.
Stores have the right to set their own pricing policies. If someone doesn’t like it their only option is to shop elsewhere.
But a store does not have a right to be nasty.
Ask your date.
He’s Teimani. Tallis at 13.
Except that in these cases Rav Shmuel and the other Gedolim aren’t ordering everyone to protest. They are saying it is worthwhile for those that can to protest, as it will be mekadesh shem shamayim to protest. Thus, anyone else’s not repeating what those gedolim already said in no way, shape or form infers opposition. In fact, it likely infers support. As the other rabbonim have no need to repeat the obvious facts what Rav Shmuel et al already publicly stated.
Can it be folded near the crease, if you don’t follow the crease exactly?
Just because a Rabbi doesn’t have or use a trampoline, does not at all mean that his position is that trampolines are impermissible.
Who said anything about a “mandate”? No one is supporting your position. ALL the Gedolim who have taken a position, including Rav Kaminetzky, have taken a strong position that we ought to protest. And certainly be opposed to this abomination.
Supporting a flawed candidate in no way, shape or form implies support for all his flaws. Otherwise you could never vote for any candidate, as they are all flawed. (That being said, it should be additionally and seperately noted that afaik HaRav Kotler never expressed to be in support of Corzine.)
Rav Kotler expressed no such position implied. Nor has the non-expression of a position implied support for your position by any other Rabbi, OU, Agudah, etc.
You disagree with Rav Kaminetzky and the other named Gedolim. Which specific rabbi supports your position?
Is it a violation of the laws of yichud to drive alone with your next door neighbor?
Lately? The anti-Jewish biases in the American justice system is not a new phenominon. Its been known all along.
That being said, pre-war Europe was significantly worse by comparison. But that in no way justifies the biases here today.
This Lapid sounds worse than his father. And that is aside from his historical revisionism about Chareidim. Of course Chareidim are practicing the same default Judaism that Klal Yisroel has been practicing since Har Sinai.
JM19: There are a number of reasons why people protest: A: Because they believe the protest will inspire change B: They dont believe it will inspire change, but they feel they shouldn’t be silent on the matter, lest people believe they agree C: They dont feel it will inspire change, but by protesting you are reminding yourself where you stand on the issue.(Mussar for one’s self)
Let me tell you something, the reason for the protest wasn’t “Option A”.
Read again the very first sentence of the letter linked above and signed by the Gedolim. They specifically list your “Option A” as the reason for the protest. Clearly they hold it is worthwhile to change the goyim’s law against this abomination.
cb1: The seforim say it is better for a woman to give birth during the week so as not to be Mechallel Shabbos.
Anyways, after techiyas hameisim how long will the world last before it is destroyed? Year 7000?
The concert ban was successful. The rabbonim said it has to be cancelled and B”H it was cancelled. It was a Kiddush Hashem how it played out per the Rabbonim’s wishes.
Probably because there are about a dozen older threads of the exact same discussion.
Revive one of the older threads.
Yekke: What if the wife died before her husband? And what if he was her second husband (after the first one died)?
UTJ and Shas announced today that they are forming a bloc and will negotiate together as one.
mdd: Don’t believe everything you read in the news.
The spiritual danger of the army is certainly one of the main reasons the gedolim oppose joining.
Yichus: Friends in the press? There is a JPost story up all day already that makes the exact speculation you just pronounced.
Why post-2008? What changed?
After counting the military and prison votes, Bayit Hayehudi gained a seat (and the Arabs lost a seat.) So now the right-wing has 61 seats while the left-wing has 59. So, technically, Bibi can form a coalition without Lapid with just Likud, Bayit Hayehudi, Shas and UTJ. Even, as likely, Bibi forms a more broad coalition including Lapid, it puts Lapid in a weaker negotiating position since the coalition could be formed without him.
So, perhaps, Amsallems costing Shas a seat wasn’t as consequential as first thought.
JM19: You ignored the point that your logic demands that Jews express no public opinion on matters such as a preference for specific political candidates or parties. Or for that matter, to be consistent you would need to be opposed to an expression of an opinion on any public policy matters not directly related to Jewish issues. Will a review of your history of comments on this forum find no such expressed preferences? Do you not express such political preferences among your social network?
Well, that is a more consistent position and I can respect that and perhaps even agree to an extent. But then why aren’t you as vocal in opposing the many more times (than the toeiva anti-advocacy) when frum Jews publicly and often even prominently support or oppose political candidates for office? In fact, your enumerated position should indicate your opposition to frum candidates running for any political office. That is more prominent and frequent than this… where have you voiced opposition to all that?
JM19: I take it, then, that you are equally opposed to any Jew taking ANY political or activist position. You are opposed to Jews voicing support or opposition to any political issue. That is the seeming logic of your comment.
We?
Men and women are not equal. Women should not get an aliya and men should not tzind lecht Erev Shabbos.
No. That is not acceptable.
Say no yourself.
yichus: You’re argument sounds like a racist who swears that him having a black friend proves his non-racism.
benignuman:
What locks? As DaasYochid asked, where did this rumor of three locks come from? It ain’t so cause the blogs say so. And how would three locks help more than the one lock every door has, anyways.
Amsallem cost Shas a seat. This is very consequential, as now the right has only 60 seats and cannot form a coalition without the left. Whereas if Shas had one more seat the right would’ve had 61 seats and could form a coalition without the left. (And even if they accepted a left-wing party, they would’ve been in a much stronger negotiating position against giving them too much, as they would’ve realized they weren’t needed.)
takah: There is nowhere better. This is golus. It is bad everywheee. Even in the medina.
Considering there is no proof even in the one and only case where he was falsely accused, it staggers the mind that anyone would believe anonymous allegations that there are others. Even if it is Horowitz hurling it around on his blog.
The trip was with his wife. And he testified that the credit card was used by his wife to help those in need that the charity assisted. The prosecution did not dispute his testimony on these points.
Hatzlacha in improving your bedtime avoda.
For the people who would consider voting Gimmel, there isn’t any alternative. Who else can they vote for that is remotely like Gimmel? Only Shas. So the Ashkenazim vote Gimmel and the Sefardim vote Shas. There isn’t much else to consider.
A beard is the cleanest look. Clean shaven is very feminine and immature.
No, the army would never give up their pritzus for that. This is Provence so openly every time there is another report that the army forced religious mizrachi soldiers to listen to Kol Isha against their will. Is the Kol Isha helping them fight better? Of course not. It is the pritzus they wish to IMPOSE on others.
And that is why there are MULTIPLE reasons the Gedolim are dead set against frum yidden joining the army. Something we must fight with our lives against.
The fact that he was sentenced to a longer term than MURDERERS and traitors and mafia killers, clearly demonstrate that the judge decided his guilt as soon as he saw his yarmulka.
There are only 60 MK’s between Likud and the rigjt-wing/Chareidi parties. So it isn’t enough for a coalition, since he needs at least 61. Bibi NEEDS a leftist party like Lapid.
Chaim Amsellem, received 43,095 votes (1.2%)
Otzma Leyisrael received 61,825 votes (representing 1.73%)
None got it. Wasted votes.
Personally, my opinion is that every guy in shidduchim should have a beard. It enhances ones stature and declares himself a Torah Yid.
Canada doesn’t have a President.
Rabbi Tendler is no raya. Besides not being a son, he differs from Rav Moshe frequently.
GAW: Can you bring even an example of Rav Chaim disagreeing with the Steipler or of Rav Shmuel Auerbach disagreeing with Rav Shlomo Zalman — especially on a large notable issue?
The Chazon Ish says it is yeherag val yaavor for women to join the idf.
Depends whether you are Chasidish or Litvish.
