    smerel: That’s untrue. They have not been doing this for 150 years. It is a recent thing.

    Additionally, the prohibition is to even enter a church when there are no services. But the coronation as well as weddings and funerals are official Christian church service, replete with Christian prayers and bowing to yushke. It is not a secular service.

    Camilla was coronated today, with her official title henceforth being Queen Camilla, and styled “Her Majesty The Queen”.

    DaMoshe: Even according to the shittas you quoted, you cannot disregard right is left, etc. You cannot decide to ignore it and not question the Rov. You must ask him for clarification based on your objection. And follow right is left, etc. if he continues to insist that you do.

    hoo hoo: What’s Brooklyn have to do with it, regarding this, that you’re differentiating Brooklyn?

    Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk are all part of the same one land mass.

    BTW, even under the original plan when she got married the Palace announced that Camilla “intended” to use the title Duchess rather than Queen upon Charles ascension, when had they stuck to that intention Camilla would still have legally been Queen. The announced intention was only that Camilla would only publicly advertise herself as duchess even though she*was* Queen. After the ascension she immediately advertised herself with her higher title of Queen Consort, per Queen Elizabeth’s “fervent desire” that she announced about a year before her passing. And now with the coronation the Palace is simply calling her Queen Camilla, without reference to Consort. Which is in line with how traditionally the British Queen Consorts have not used Consort as part of their title as Queen.

    The one excellent outcome, certainly, is that the adulteress Diana never got the undeserved title of Queen that she strongly coveted.

    Hadofi: You’re agreeing with the point. As the girls get more secular education than the boys, and yet there’s no evidence boys have a greater OTD issue than girls, there’s no correlation between less secular ed and OTD.

    interjection: very high rate is an exaggeration. But your point about girls does refute the premise that the fault is about too much Limudei/too little secular.

    Someday: Obviously we disagree. You haven’t identified whom you’re referring to, so I can’t individually address your allegations. But, I should add, the first two I forgot to specify which Rabbonim with those titles I was referring to, which I suspect you may have misidentified (and, thus, you’ll withdraw your comment in regards to). In both cases I was referring to the Rabbonim who assumed those titles already before the Holocaust.

    Avram, Philly is really a bit NY-like? It’s been a long time since I was there, but I believe it was in suburban Philadelphia where we were behind more than a handful of cars waiting for the light, and when it went green the car in front for some reason took almost 30 seconds to start moving. And not a single car blew their horn. They all waited like they had all the time in the world. It impressed me so much I still remember it decades later.

    If driving customs are based on local minhagim, how is anyone not from the area to know what the local driving customs are, given that there are thousands of different jurisdictions in the United States alone, with most people coming from any one particular area but potentially driving through many other areas outside their own town or city.

    Dr. Pepper: …”a/b/c. Is it (a/b)/c or a/(b/c)?”

    What logic could argue for a/(b/c)? (a/b)/c is following your original equation left-to-right.

    In the OP’s example you could invoke left to right. Or you could invoke the basis of prioritizing the touching rule. The left to right only became prevalent with the advent of calculators. Prior to the widespread use of calculators (i.e. within the last less than hundred years) the generally accepted convention was to prioritize touching — such as 2(2+2). Of course that’s only applicable where they otherwise hold equal priority, such as multiplication and division.

    It is age irrelevant, in my opinion. Every (married) Yid should be referred to as Reb Yankel (or whatever his name is). And every bachor should be referred to as Habachor Shimon (or whatever his name is).

    The official royal invitation to the coronation states:

    “The Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III & Queen Camilla

    Queen Camilla is given equal billing to King Charles. This is also in line with tradition in how recent previous British Kings titled and referred to their wife simply as Her Majesty and Queen (generally without any reference to Consort).

    Her official title, in full, is now: Her Majesty Queen Camilla. She is receiving equal billing on the official invitations to the coronation of herself and the King. No more queen “consort” as part of her title.
