gr8 masmid, Daas Torah doesn’t allow you on the internet to post at YWN.
I’m waiting for Charedim to stop using waambulances and actually sit down and try to figure out the solution. Merely repeating “they hate us, they hate us” doesn’t do anything. Once you graduate sixth grade, you might have some logic skills acquired.
First of all, the iron dome was not entirely funded by the US, it was also funded by Israel. Secondly, one of the reasons why the US funded it is because it benefits the US. They get real life testing of a weapon that the US can use.
Health, where exactly did MDD state anything about his feelings about Charedim? He merely stated that it is not a right to sit and learn and take funding from people, especially if they don’t want to give it. That seems pretty reasonable to me.
Mods, please allow this:
It is the definition of idiocy to state that the cause of Arab hatred of Jews is Zionism. It is also playing into the Jew hater’s hands. It’s a terrible shame that many of you stopped your education at third grade. You have a very dangerous viewpoint, one that can kill.
(In my head, I’m using much worse and much harsher language. Unfortunately, the tuchis kicking you deserve won’t be allowed to be posted and it’s not my job to educate you. I just hope you don’t kill yourself when you decide to take action on your misguided views.)
1) 200 million dollars is not spent on hotels.
2) Let’s say it is, why should I, who doesn’t daven in Landaus at all, give money to them? If I decide to go to a hotel, I now have to also give money to every shul in the world who collects?
Yichusdik,
It’s even much worse. 1) why can’t the name be posted? That means something.
2) big name rabbis were on the take for millions of dollars do that they didn’t condemn him. And worst of all, he’s making a comeback and even was a guest speaker at a big name rabbis school. That’s pretty disgusting
You really think politics never played a role in a psak?
Nowadays you can find an entire Pesach “book” in 3-4 pages. Contact the OU, Star-K, CRC, etc.
That book has been responsible for many, many shalom bayis issues.
ah talmid,
That would/might get them away from the battlefield, but not out of the army. Israel is giving the charedim something even better, National Service. I still don’t know why they would be against that.
There are lots of thoughts, but Latin, then French seems the most likely.
Gamanit, for the same reason single girls don’t go to mikvah.
He also is proof of the good of university. He became frum through the local Jewish group.
Maybe they’re using Tide, and not Clorox.
By Orthodox do you mean frum Jews or do you mean Charedim?
Because right now frum Jews make up a good chunk.
Most likely the teenage girls are married, or engaged by now, so it’s not an issue.
ari-free, if that’s the case, then doesn’t the fact that you want to legislate full time learning as the norm and no army service kind of legitimize Israel as a Jewish state?
nitpicker, why in the world would you have to ask your rav? If it’s chametz, it’s assur.
They’re not working , they don’t pay taxes
Why would you expect money froma state you don’t recognize?
You can insult all you want. I’m the one with thousands of years of mesorah on my side.
Yeah, think of the schnorrers.
It’s not a sincerely held belief. It’s a recent invention belief.
Can a 911 operator legally do that? Would you risk it?
I also want incoming calls.
She was not employed as a nurse, so under California law she wouldn’t be covered.
I’ve used it over home wifi to cut back on my minutes when I was nearing the limit, but I really set it up so that when I went to Israel I was able to make free calls to the US using WiFI.
Yeah, considering that Israel Landlines are 2 cents a minute, you can’t really beat that.
Israel and the US is quite different. In Israel many organizations would not survive without the national service.
bentch, this is on my cellphone. I needed a way to make outgoing calls, and using GV+, it creates an incoming call from an outgoing call, and IPKall gives me the number to plug into GV.
From my computer, I can just go to gmail and put in a number and dial.
You need a connection to the Internet.
Another option is getting an Israeli number to ring your home phone and then it would be free for Israel to call you.
Check out http://www.misparchinam.com/ Mispar Chinam I’m not sure how it works or if there will be ads but you get an Israeli number to your US phone.
DY, the government is not siting in their little dungeon trying to figure out how to make all charedim not frum. Scare tactics notwithstanding, if you’re in a society, and taking from that society, and where everyone else is giving to help make the society better, then you have to do your part as well. What is so bad with that? And Nationa Service is not a quasi-acceptable replacement, it is an acceptable replacement.
It uses minutes, it doesn’t go over the data plan. It calls a number that GV converts to your number. (The number GV dials makes money for Google, you’ll notice that it’s in “weird” area codes that costs the carriers more money to terminate to.)
What I did with my plan was use Google Voice, IPKAll and Callwithus to have a 100% totally free system. IPKall gives you a free telephone number, Callwithus gives you a SIP plan, you add your IPKall nummber to GV, have your phone connect to Callwithus and use GV+ to make your outgoing calls for free calls to the US, from anywhere in the world.
BTW, you should see what the Chacham Tzvi (and/or R’ Yaakov Emdem) had to say about Kitniyos and other Pesach minhagim.
It’s a good think he lived a long time ago. His posts would’ve been banned from the CR.
I despise most divrei Torah at the seder. It’s not the time for it. Save it for the afternoon seudah, the seder is for sipur yetzias mitzrayim and klerring chakirahs doesn’t fulfill that obligation.
It doesn’t clear it up because National Service is also being protested by the charedim. Explain that.
This has nothing to do with DNR.
Under the law, if she would have done CPR she would not be covered by the Good Samaritan law. How many of you when push come to shove would risk everything for that? It’s very nice to be a shalosh shudis quarterback but we don’t know the entire story.
WIY,
Why is that chutzpahdik?
What happens when you get rid of all bechira?
And it is called CPR. The first step is to verify breathing/pulse.
DNR has nothing to do with this, and DNR is not always assur.
One thing to remember Is that she wouldn’t be covered by California’s good Samaritan law. While she Is a nurse she was not employed as a nurse. She would then be liable.
You can get it from your provider, no need to spend money. Just call up and turn off text messaging and internet.
countless generations?
OK, for countless generations you had some people dedicate themselves solely to Torah. The others did what was needed to survive.
Except we don’t know what happened other than he ran away. I’m not comparing the two, the other case just popped into my head because it’s slightly similar and people had different reactions.
I’m not sure I had a point with my story. Like I wrote, it popped into my head. But thinking about it, why is this girl any different than this case? She killed someone due to her negligence. We don’t even know what exactly happened here.
I’m not sure why, but this just popped into my head.
Last year a frum girl texting while driving hit a man and I think she killed him. The community put pressure on the DA and she only faced lesser charges and not manslaughter.
When did I say anything negative? For corn, I explained why it is considered kitniyos. For peanuts, I have no idea why it’s considered kitniyos, since as the previous poster attested it was widely eaten. I think that’s why people are making a fusswith quinoa, they don’t want it to go the way of peanuts.
You can even make the argument that it’s a mitzvah to talk during kabbalas Shabbos to show that it is not part of davening, which is why most Nusach Ashkenaz shuls have the chazzan by the bimah and not the amud.
And it is assur to talk in a shul, but not in a beis medrash and most shuls today are classified as batei midrashim.
Except that’s not how halacha works. Something is permissible until you assur it, it’s not assur until you mattir it.
R’ Moshe even wrote that you do not add things to kitniyos. I still can’t fathom this need to make everything assur to eat on Pesach.
It won’t be a dioraysa anyway unless you have kosher near and kosher milk.
