It is well known in anthropological circles that Aschkenaz was the Hebrew word for Germany. Aschkenazic jews in fact, hardly migrated to turkey at all. Turkish jews never spoke yiddish. yiddish is well known to be a corruption of the german language. The yiddish language itself mutated into various dialects as jews migrated from germany to Poland, Russia, and the other European countries.
The term Aschkenaz is hebrew for germany. The jews of turkey are sefardic heritage.

The term Gaon is being used very loosely as a title. The minimum knowledge should be all Shas with all Rashi, Tosefos, Maharsho. All Chumash with Rashi ans Ramban. All Rambam, all Tur and all Shulchan Orech. Thoroughly.

each chasidic sect has different ways of referring to previous rebbes. Ger for example called the Imrei Emes, the rebbe of Poland, frierdeker rebbe until the Bais Yisroel was niftar. In Satmar Rabbeni Yoel is just called the rebbe zl or rabbeini. There isn’t a set name anywhere. Its just something that pops up.

Fruits and veggies which as raw usually have bugs, require a hechsher that they were washed for bugs. Blueberries do not have bugs. The general production method of freezing doesnt come near anything treif.

The so-called chasidishe and very strict hashgochos all rely completely on OU supervision of their ingredients. Their supervision is that they rely on the OU and just make sure that the firm buys only OU ingredients. The OU’s level of supervision is unmatched by the others.

Telz yeshiva in america was founded by rav eliyahu meir bloch ztzl, son of the telz yeshiva rosh hayeshiva maharil bloch ztzl. together with his brother in law rav chaim katz ztzl. it was founded according to the spirit and style of the lituanian telz yeshiva and is still operated in that path. telz chicago and riverdale are off shoots, also operated along the original telzer deredch by telzer talmidim of rav bloch and rav katz. although cleveland isnt as big as it used to be, chicago and riverdale are thriving yeshivos, among the best in america. those are facts. anybody cotradict that is basically complete not in the know of what telz is.

Nusach Sefard has Hodu before psikei deimra because in the Beis Hamikdosh they said Hodu after the korbon tomid but before the schachris davevening. Nusach Ashkenaz considered Hodu as part of the Zimra as part of Hodu is from tehilim. Instead of just posting, why don’t you look this up?

hey all you misnagdim. anything chasidim do is strange to you. apples are considered holy cause it says chakal tapichin kadishin, holy apple orchards. throwing the aplles shows an extra measure of love to the chasidim. you misnagdim will never understand this.

In the time of the gemorah, women in general, in all socities, were considered second class. However, the Zohar says that women have less mitzvos because they are on a higher spiritual level than men. Although the Torah is eternal and Torah life is the way we go, times and cultures change. In the early 20th century, girls were not happy with their place in society. They felt empty. This caused terrible departures from yiddishkeit. Sarah Schnierer saw this and recognized the need for educating Jewish girls in Torah so that they would fel meaningful and that yiddishkeit would be relevant in their lives. All the Torah gedolim of Poland and Lithuania and Germany agreed with her and gave her strong support, especially the Gerrer Rebbe ztzl. Result: we have generations of Torah true girls becoming strong supporters of Torah learning. Yes, women can have their own schar for learning Torah.

So eat meat and drink wine. Or go to Century 21 and buy yourself stuff. I’m a man and buying stuff always makes one happy.

an esrog should be kosher period. if you start looking for the best of the best, then hashem looks into your neshomo to see if you are perfect. i just make sure that i see nothing bad with my plain eye and hope that hashem looks at me and says, not bad, have a great year.

probably the only ones who really ready themselves for the yom hadin and do teshuva, are the ones who have never sinned at all during the year. the rest of us poor shmos just sit around waiting. but in the end, hashem will forgive us all and bring a blessed good year to everybody. kol yisroel yesh lohem olam haboh letova ulebrocho.

The Satmar rebbe felt that the gemora and medrash say that the jewish nation made 3 oaths after the beis hamikdosh was destroyed. one ws that there wouldnt be a medina in eretz yisroel. the problem was that the early zionists were actually apikorsim, like hertzl. they were purely cultural nationalists. that’s why the european gedolim instituted an agudas yisroel. to work on behalf of frum jws and to counteract seculr zionism.

Many people who know davening by heart, especially shemoneh esrei, still daven in a siddur because seeing the words, the holy words, aids in concentration. look at the words as you say them and think about the words, the prayers and who you are standing in front of.

STARBUCKS COFFEE IS KOSHER BUT THEIR FOOD PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE. BUT IF A CAKE OR COOKIE IS WRAPPED WITH A HECHSHER, ITS OK. DUNKIN DONUTS IN SOME PLACES HAS CHOLOV YISROEL.
