    Yussel- its kinda funny that you have a live and let live approach to people talking during davening, but not to those who cant help but learn during davening? retarded.

    pshh, azah daykan. yes. the neighborhood is a mix of americans and francs. the americans are, biderech klal, much more baalitbatish couples who mostly are the type to come for a year aid vacation in israel yes, there are some serious bnei torah among the maericans, but they are the minority in this neighborhood. mostly rich kids.

    I think that since everyone already said the maaylos (no pun intended), ill stay off that part of the op question. i think its kiday to ad that after R nochum eisenstien, the next most popular rov there is R caliphon, who specializes im shalom bayis/counselling and is in high demand. nuff said. thats not hearsay, im in the shchunah often and my brother in law lives there, so i have a pretty clear picture.

    just to clarify, i grew up frum all my life and never ate treif, though my family does it chalav stam.

    dripping yeshivish is a common expression, and i happen to be pretty yeshivish myself, i just thought his mistake was hilarious.

    i wasnt at all insulted, we were making fun of each other.

    didnt mean to insult anone here. sheesh.

    Sam2- the issur would be copying an avodah bachutz. probably, if there is any isur, you would have to do tinufah with the lechem. actually, heyos the tnufah was done w/ the shtei kvasim, maybe you need them too in order to be oiver. hmm, ill think about it.

    rabd- i think its more along the lines that the rest (or should I say the whole) of orthodoxy in america rejects the notion of having female rabbis. its ironic for this issue to be posted here on the erev of the parshah of digalim, the yisoid of which is that Hashem gave a specific avoda to every cheilek of klal yisroel. in trying to be ‘as good as’ men are, women are inherently degrading their role in yiddishkeit, and their role as people. kinda ironic.

    crational- chazal saw malachim, heard them speak, and regularly met with Eliyahu hanavi. you are an ameoba compared to them, morally, ethically, in terms of scientific undrstanding, and closeness to Hashem. to talk about and critique them is tipshus.stop being a tipaish.

    the ksav sofer in last weeks parshah talks exactly about this. He says the Hashem cheshbons schar based on the tovah done for the mikabel, but that theres a special maaleh to the mitzva of one who gives although he’s not rolling in cash.

    rational- the vort was the R Shachters shittah says theres no such thing as the less leaned listening to the rabbis in matters not directly pertaining to halacha, what we chareidim call daas torah. the rabbis you so bakovodikly mentioned by their last names, (ahem…hypocrite) do hold of such an idea, and opa was simply stating that lishitaso of R Shachter he neednt listen to what he thinks on the matter.

    you really have 2 options. try to get bochurim or tourists headed to your hometown to shlep one or two and end upsending them all, or get a part of a lift. i dont know of any other practical way, unles you spend 1800 dollars on seforim at shankys and then he will ship your seforim for you.

    why is everyone mad at this guy (assumed) for asking the oilam to try and help out their fellow jews who need it? you may have taaynos on certain things a small minority does and they may be justified, but thats no excuse turn your backs on jews in dire circumstances. we all have our differences, and we all need to sort them out but in the meantime, we can do this much.
