MDD: If the yeshiva guys stop taking any money from the Israeli government, would you support the frum yidden refusing to serve in the army even if the government wanted to draft them?
They need to fill the girls time with something.
Men at the office should definitely not be calling or referring to you by your first name.
Why, then, does the gemora tell us the goyim will be punished for recognizing such a marriage, if we shouldn’t care?
The Jewish beis din was deputized to enforce the sheva mitzvos bnei noach. Clearly, we care, as we should.
Avos.
So much good advice and so concise!
Every line in the Gemorah does have significance.
And we ought to fight against the legal institution of toeiva “rights”; be it so-called “marriage”, be it civil unions, or be it acceptance.
Where is your Emunas Chachomim?? Yes, the Gedolim know better than us. Yes, we must follow our Rabbonim regardless of whether we understand and/or agree with their decision. No, we cannot change the rabbonim we follow — like a new ice cream flavor — because we want to hear something different than what they are telling us.
That’s because a lot of Chareidim (Eidah, Brisk, Satmar, etc.) , b’shitta, hold it is assur to vote and therefore don’t vote.
And even though Chareidim are an increasing percentage of Israeli Jews, considering the influx of Russian goyim (some of whom go through a fake conversion but most of whom don’t even do that much) voting for parties like Lieberman’s Betanyahu (now merged with Likud), it dilutes the true Jews vote.
In yeshivas, Roshei Yeshivos and Rebbeim put down nochrim all the time. I can hear that we shouldn’t say it out loud for obvious reasons, but in essence it is true.
TCG: You are dead wrong. This has always been the way of the Torah and Klal Yisroel. See ???”? ?? ????? ????? ?????? ??? ?.
It isn’t merely the Gedolim of the previous generation. The Gedolim of today also are telling us loud and clearly to go to Yeshiva and stay out of the army. The message could not be clearer.
tsharer: You could not be more incorrect. It has always been the anti-frum in Israel that shoved against the frum, whose response was defensive. Of course the best defense is a good offense.
America has had anti-sodomy laws on the books that punished people for simply engaging in toeiva relations. (Forget marriage and all.) It only was struck down a mere 9 years ago by an activist Supreme Court. Hopefully with a turnover of justices that decision will be reversed and sodomy will be outlawed again. In the past some States had long prison sentences for a sodomy conviction, but hopefully in the next set of laws they’ll actually have a death penalty for it.
MSS: You are so right. ALL the single girls in my neighborhood are busy crying their heads off all day worried sick that’s they’ll never get married, as you said.
But I was thinking, maybe the OP is a married girl and thus able to kid around.
FWIW, I think its the same poster as blackhatwannabe and a host of other names.
An anonymous claim that someone supposedly made an admission has no more neemanos or believability than failed blogger. If you took your statement to beis din, beis din would give *you* malkus.
Show me a public statement (i.e. one that can be confirmed) by any Torah outsider praising the Chareidi refusal to serve in the IDF, and I will rethink whether or not it is a Chillul Hashem.
What’s a “Torah outsider”? The “Torah insiders” (i.e. Gedolim) have clearly said it is a Kiddush Hashem to remain in Yeshiva full-time and not serve in the army. What do you want from us? We are following our Gedolim! Do you really expect us to stop listening to the Gedolim because you disagree with them?!?
Shas and UTJ have an agreement where one will not join a coalition without the other.
It is not true that he ever did that.
It’s published in:
Law in a troubled world; a lecture series presented by Cleveland College and the Franklin Thomas Backus School of Law, Western Reserve University, fall, 1958.
I hope you don’t mean some people are wearing sweatshirts on the street with nothing on top of it?!?
DY,
Perhaps on an individual basis, but the Litvishe gedolim (as a rule) didn’t recognize tzahal as an institution.
DY,
613’s point is that tzahal violated the shavuos (and also caused the situation of those trying to kill us, that you speak of.)
I feel bad for my Yekke friends who are still bochorim since they are often mistaken as being married.
No, Ben-Gurion agreed because he was sure the Bnei Torah would die out and he was only agreeing to a temporary situation until the zionists converted the frum into chilonim. Once they realized the Bnei Torah weren’t going to disappear, they tried other angles to stop the frum.
A secular court and 12 jurors of one’s peers has no neemanus or believability or acceptability in halacha or Judaism. NW status to us remains the same as it was before the DA or court acted.
Papers publish whatever sells the most newspapers. This is tabloid journalism. The truth is ancilliary to profit.
???”? ?? ????? ????? ?????? ??? ?
Sorry, the gedolim indeed are quite capable of telling us Action X caused Tragedy Y.
Why waste your time debating this? Everyone knows the Chareidim will never change their learning system. And quit trying to force them as it is clear they will resist with their lives. Even the Israeli politicians acknowledge they cannot force the Chareidim to serve involuntarily.
No PROOF of anything untoward. He deserves every benefit of the doubt. As Jews we are FORBIDDEN to believe a single allegation. All we can do is take precautions without believing a word.
Ami is to highly commended for taking the politically incorrect stand of giving a voice to a Yid who the entire media and blogging establishment condemned in a knee-jerk reaction.
Give your love to humanity rather than to animal.
Some gedolim are opposed to anyone voting and some gedolim say to vote gimmel.
MDD: There is no major outcry by the secular to block people in kollel from receiving minimal welfare. The folks in kollel get very little money, barely enough to feed their family. There is no way to structure the law to block kollel guys from collecting welfare while allowing non-kollel guys from collecting welfare. If they stop one, they stop the other. Do you advocate ending welfare and letting poor children starve? How else do you suppose they would end payments to the poor?
Fish are the only non-humans allowed to reside in our home.
I vaguely heard of this publication before. I just took a look at some of their articles and noticed it has a strong left-wing leaning in both the topics covered as well as the authors published.
He certainly is considered a godol by the Torah world. Rav Malkiel Kotler holds highly of the gadlus of the Rebbe (and they are close friends.)
$35,000 + full benefits and pension starting salary for working 5 hours a day (2.5 hours each in the morning and afternoon) and 2 months paid summer vacation every year, is quite a deal.
The chicken or the egg?
Bonjour!
Mod-18: How long is/was the line?
Isn’t it extremely rare for a Hatzalah member to get a moving violation, while on call, anywhere in New York City?
Which time? Gain or Loss?
HOV restrictions were cancelled as of 5PM Friday.
akuperma: How far from the coast do you still deem too close to the coast for living conditions due to hurricane risk?
Hatzalah (started by Satmar and serving every Jew), Satmar Bikur Cholim (serving every type of Jew in their time of medical need), Shomrim, Chaveirim, Gemach’s galore, Tzedakah organziations galore, etc. are all wonderful examples of heartwarming and inspiring stories of chesed in the Jewish community.
There was an earthquake in Essex (near London) and an avalanche in Lewes, England. There was flooding in 2008, 2007, 2005, 2004, etc. And there was a tornado in Birmingham in 2004.
akuperma: New York City is one of the least hurricane prone areas along the Atlantic. Look at the history and destructiveness of natural disasters in NYC compared to other area. NYC does relatively pretty darn good.
Do you suggest we all move to Omaha, Nebraska?
Which area is not prone to earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, tsunamis, blizzards, cyclones, hailstorms, tornadoes or other natural disasters?
Haifagirl: Using your logic, shouldn’t all the constant wars and terror attacks over the 60+ years of the State have told you to leave?
In Haifa people run the risk of running into a famous girl who is constantly correcting everyone’s grammar.
Some of the happiest people have been some of the (financially) poorest.
And some of the unhappiest have also been the financially poorest…
Which proves wealth does not equate to happiness.
