Nope.

Perhaps providing the background of the boy looking for a yeshiva, where he is on the ‘yeshivish’ spectrum, and what he’s looking for in a Yeshiva will help us help you.

I mean, does legally designating yourself as a woman give you the same right as a biological woman to enter the leagues, should you prove talented enough.

If your posts is written in regular dumb person english youll have a better time getting answers just though youd like to know

zdad- Those Jews left practicing Judaism due to financial pressures, or a desire to join American/European culture, not an institutionalized antipathy for God and his Torah.

Interestingly enough, the OP’s op crystallizes the difference in ideology between them and everyone else. Because typical Judaism understands and accepts that Moshiach’s coming won’t be all champagne and roses (yom hadin hagadol, etc.) we know that when we daven for Moshiach we aren’t/shouldn’t be davening with selfish motives, because all we want is giluy kavod Shamayim in this world, so who really cares if that means we’ll suffer on a personal level- we want it because it’s ratzon Hashem and ritzoneinu la’asos Ritzoncha. To come to this madreiga is obviously difficult, but that’s our avodah- to want it because it’s Hashem’s will, regardless of how we will personally benefit or the opposite, not to try and find chiddushim/pshatim or pretend/gloss over what’s coming. All your doing is admitting your motives are selfish, because now you can get the goodies and not be worried about the hard parts. But that’s all you wanted in the first place, isn’t it.

New is a relative term. You’re pretty new, too.

My remarks were both sexist and accurate.

This place is not so so fun anymore….

I think you’re trying to make regular machoness into hashkafa. Most men will want to drive because they feel all the wonderful male feelings associated with being in charge. Also, women in general stink at driving, so most men will probably want to put themselves in the best position to get home alive, ie., they drive.

You’re trying to avoid taking out the garbage, that’s all.

lol,wut

Like Ahavas chinam pointed out, today’s flour is generally washed as wheat, and could be osur midi’oraisah. Before I found this out, I actually asked a posek about selling it for Pesach (I don’t sell chametz gamur), and he mamash looked at me like I fell off the moon

Ya see, this is where eating all that tofu will get you.

I find it pitiful you don’t have a clue how hashkafically off this is.

LC- I’m not sure who gave you the right to ‘expect’ anything. It’s not my ‘approach’ as if I made this one up and am trying to see if it’s viable- it’s our tafkid, tachlis, and avodah.

CS- I decided after the last thread not to answer any of your posts that pertain to Judaism ( though we can discuss potato kugel), seeing as you’ve been pre-programmed and brainwashed to a frightening extent. Just thought I should at least let you know why I’m not replying.

Laskern- Never did I imply that it’s unimportant to want to give nachas ruach to Hashem. My post was a simple rebuttal to the notion that it’s our job to sit and deliberate how to bring Moshiach. It’s not. We want him to come, we yearn for him to come, and we understand that doing what Hashem wants from us the best way make that happen, but in no way does that become our avodah. Spend time horeving on a R’ Akiva Eiger, not mulling ways to bring Moshiach. I once heard a mashal, I believe bisheim R’ Elya Svei, though it may have been someone else. Spoiler alert: it’s a mashal to describe the way traditional judaism feels about chabad, but I’m not bringing it here for that, but to make my point. A king once notified a simple village person that he intended to visit his home on a certain day and stay for a short while. Obviously, the average hovel was in no condition to receive the king, so the derfel yid (why not make him a jew) and his wife began preparing their humble home to receive his majesty. As they worked, it became evident they would not finish in time. For every repair they made, the kids, or chickens, or goats, or village drunk, managed to break something else, sending them into a never ending spiral of break-and-repair. When the day arrived, there was still much to be done, and no time to finish. While the children rushed outside to receive the king, the wife asked her husband, who had remained indoors, frantically trying to accomplish what he could, why he, too, didn’t go greet the monarch. The husband replied,” It’s for children to go singing and dancing in front of the king when he comes- I have to make sure His home ican be considered a dwelling place of the king.”

That’s what we’re doing- not figuring out eitzos to bring Moshiach, but readying this world to receive him.

Davka in english?

It’s friggin annoying, so no.

@mentsch1- You’re hilarious. I was trying to find a way to communicate that exact thought.

I jus have ma packebook.

@DY- Thanks, that’s a much more concise way of putting it. 😛

My wife’s taller. It works. I make her get all the stuff from high up. And when there’s stuff lower down, I make her get that too. Cuz she’s the wife.

It’s well-known that the OU is the gold standard in physical hashgacha, but not in the level of chumra they’re makpid. That’s why, as someone above pointed out, lots of people don’t eat plain OU meat, not because they don’t trust the OU tod do what it says it will, but because the level they stick to is less than what yeshivaleit are comfortable with. Examples are cases where they paskin leniently about bishul akum, etc., meaning the hashgacha is great, but the psak, not so much. Now, before I get flack for this, I KNOW the psakim are from R Belsky, you just need to understand he was paskening for a national hechsher, not yeshivaleit. I once heard someone explain that as the reason for maintaining an OU and a chaissidish hechsher: one to know the food is kosher, and the other for the chumros.

Nope, just not celebrating.

Can I be nominated to put it out?

I like cookies on Chol hamoed. Macaroons if it’s pesach. Its my minhag.

Spork. You need the pointy parts for when it congeals a bit.

Let her put on a sweater and go bake me cookies in a matza oven. She’ll be warm, and I’ll have my cookies.

When it comes to shechita of chickens, any on the ball, nonpolitical Rav will tell you they’re top notch. It’s everything besides chickens. I’ll explain later.
