Thank you hello99. Was his rulings in conflict with the vast majority of other Poskim and accepted practice while he was official posek 50 years ago, or did he start that after he left, or perhaps that’s why he had to leave?
That’s because they focus on Gemorah more than Tanach. What’s wrong with that?
Itche: What lesschumras described I believe to be correct.
Mazal Tov!
Who is next in line, you or blinky??
sam4: Which is the same thing these egalitarians are doing.
I thought Conservative started out as a breakoff from Reform, when they thought Reform went too far off. (Which is why they are called “Conservative”, compared to Reform.)
Why is it best not to discuss here?
Yom Kippur is on Shabbos this year again.
Gmar Chasima Tova!
If he asked for mechilla properly, and asked so many times, it’s inappropriate that the person refuse it.

Chasidish girls don’t fast?
I just googled it. I would definitely stay away from it.
What is chidon hatanach?
I think this has been proposed here dozens of times.
Mazal Tov dealz! I’m glad it all worked out!
All Nusach Sefard shuls and many Nusach Ashkenaz shuls blow shofar during the silent shemoneh esrei.
Sam2: The diamonds made their way in when the De Beers diamond monopoly started promoting it. That’s what I meant that it has no basis in Judaism.
Who is Rabbi Abady?
Kesiva V’Chasima Tova!
yita, why would you be less offended when popa told someone to “go away”?

Does it affect your year even if you dozed off by mistake?
He said his rov set him up with a different girl.
Getting a “diamond ring” has no tradition in Judaism. It is a habit picked up from secular society. So just get whatever works for the two of you.
What will Obama do?
gavra, the position you attribute to the RY of Lakewood is incorrect. (It is at best only half correct in what their position is.) Also see the third comment made by a poster on this thread, a point you haven’t acknowledged.
“Source?”
A woman’s place is defined in the Torah and commentaries. It is at home, not at work.
Girls definitely take it harder. (As a rule. Of course there are exceptions both ways.)

m in Israel: Was it worth spending all those years pursuing a BA and MS for just 10 entry-level years of post-school work? You almost spent as much time schooling as working using what you were schooled on!

I agree 100% with what the Rosh Yeshiva told BaalHabooze. Do NOT send flowers to a girl you are dating. It is entirely inappropriate (and will send all the wrong signals). You will IY”H send it to the girl you are engaged to.
One thing I can say is that I find Chasidish girls are generally very temimusdik. (By others too, but by them it is much more prevalent.)

There is no issue with the internet provider (phone or cable company.) The internet provider providers the customer all you can eat service. The concern would be between you and the customer paying for the service.
Some people purposefully leave their internet service with no password since they want to let others use their signal and service.
You are obligated to return the money.
some people davka leave their wifi with no password so people could use it.
