Kuvult: Reform and Conservative do not have Shuls. They have some kind of Chapel that is closer to a Church than to a Shul. They have nothing to do with Judaism.
AAQ: We Jews don’t decide “according to your view” (our view); we do as the Gedolei HaDor (such as in this Kol Korah) and our Rabbonim shlit”a instruct us.
Why wasn’t the wealthy bochor paying you per session (rather than a small one time tip at the end of the zman)?
Vice President-Elect J.D. Vance will be an excellent future President of the United States.
The Torah answers this question. Dovid HaMelech, in Tanach, told us what to do. Halacha also, explicitly, addresses how to discipline your children. It can be learnt anywhere you have a Shulchan Aruch.
Go to a local seminary.
The main thing is that you shouldn’t talk during leining. Everything else is commentary.
The Wolf: Why isn’t it possible currently?
CTL: Why is it any less appropriate than discussing the weather, the crime rate, health foods or sports?
Melech: What is the issue regarding meat that people who are not someach on OU for are concerned with, that’s also applicable to this product?
Menachem: Was it Chabad ‘s minhag to remove shoes already in prewar Europe?
Former federal prosecutor Rudy Giuliani should be appointed by President Trump’s new Attorney General as an independent Special Prosecutor in the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute all government officials within the Department of Justice and all other government agencies and officials who abused their government positions for political purposes beginning with the Russia Hoax in 2017 through the politically motivated persecutions of Donald Trump by federal, state and local officials.
This newly created Special Prosecutor’s office led by America’s Mayor Rudy Giuliani should be open ended, with no end date, to follow all leads these investigations and prosecutions lead to.
The Trump supporter in this story sounds like the average Yiddishe Trump supporter.
Hopefully Dictator Trump will round up all the leftists and other anti-American self-hating cranks and deport them all to Guantanamo Bay on Day One of the second Trump Administration.
Following that, we expect Dictator Trump to outlaw the Democrat Party and dissolve all far-left extremist groups such as Antifa, J Street, the ACLU and anything related to George Soros.
Multiple generations.
AAQ: European Jews never dressed like the local gentiles. (I’m not as familiar with Sephardic attire, but I believe the same can be said for them.) Not even like the upper-class goyim. The Jews *always* dressed differently, obviously excluding secularized Jews.
The 2020 polls were badly mistaken. They overestimated the Democrats.
Agreed that polling in general has overestimated Democrats compared to the election results. This has been the case for a long while, already. Especially the non-final polls; IOW all the polls until the last one was really skewered in favor of the Democrats. By time their final poll before election day comes out, and they know that’s what they’ll be judged on, they become slightly more honest. Which is why you’ll usually find in the last polls before the election Republicans usually see improvements.
BTW, how did polling do any better before telephone landlines became almost universally owned by Americans? As far as today, I understand polls started calling mobile telephones over the last number of election cycles.
P.S. I believe the polls will, for the third time in a row, prove to have under-counted Trump voters; and he will have a convincing win on election day (especially in the Electoral College, but he’ll most very likely win the popular vote as well.)
You could ask similar questions regarding Shmitta.
Y’all saw the signs on the stores; “No shoes, no service.” Now we need our own signs saying “No hat, no quorum.”
How do out of towners manage without a minyan factory?
Neville: I was thinking of answering him, as well, but I realized (as usual) it wasn’t worth the effort. Since you addressed his nonsensical comments, you could also point out that when he wrote “men wrote seforim about what they want women to wear” is that he must be under the impression that G-d is a man or that men are G-d, because the Gedolei Poskim who write the Shailos U’Teshuvos seforim on Halacha do not pasken “what they want women to wear” but rather the pasken what Hashem wants women to wear.
But something so obvious needn’t even be stated.
Trump.
CA: In Sephardic countries when it was the norm to come to Shul in a turban, indeed coming to Shul without a turban would be disrespectful and warrant being asked to leave until the turban is put on.
How do you want to it transmitted? Posting it here might not be the best idea.
The software is buggy. Somethings are outside the control of the moderators. And the programmers don’t often update the underlying code.
MadeOf: Struggling doesn’t necessarily define one as OTD or, even, at-risk.
Who said there is any minimum shiur?
I don’t know the numbers, but from what I’ve heard from multiple sources is that the vast majority of Lubavitchers believe that the last Lubavitcher Rebbe will return as Moshiach.
Coming to Shul without a hat and jacket is like going to a fancy restaurant wearing a sleeveless T-shirt, shorts and sandals with no socks. (Actually, coming to Shul without a hat and jacket is worse.)
You wouldn’t complain about a dress code to come into a store or restaurant or the White House. Coming into the House of the King of King’s demands a high level of respect.
Just because society has gone to pot, with anyone or everyone thinking dressing down is okay, does not mean a Shul needs to get with the times and welcome you with your sandals, shorts and t-shirt. They appropriately demand you dress befitting meeting the King of King’s.

I wonder if girls are less likely than boys to go OTD or become at-risk.
Yichusdik: Close to half the DL/RZ soldiers who entered the IDF religious are irreligious by time they’re discharged.
Asking one and all for mechila for anything or anytime one was hurt or offended.
Absolutely treif.
Gadol: I very much doubt that is an accurate rendition of what Rav Hirsch shlita indicated. Nevertheless, even if it were, his Talmudic who aren’t learning may follow that advice. Whereas, the talmidim of the Gedolei Yisroel shlita that strongly state that even those not learning full time should still not serve, will follow that advice not to serve.
somejewiknow: Yasher Koach for explaining it so well.
IY”H soon America’s greatest and biggest Oheiv Yisroel president will, once again, return to the office of the presidency of the United States of America.
The husband is the “Baal”. AAQ, check the translation.
“why can’t we have all the mitzvos and still have separate jobs?”
Kohanim and Leviim (even b’chors and other categories) have different Mitzvos than others. There’s no reason why men and women shouldn’t, also, have different Mitzvos.
Yisroelim shouldn’t be saddened over the fact that they don’t have the same greater responsibilities and Mitzvos as Kohanim, and women shouldn’t be saddened over the fact that they don’t have the same greater responsibilities and Mitzvos as men.
I will add a side point in that I believe the fact that this bothered you, more than a Yisroel is bothered that a Kohain has greater responsibilities, obligations, Mitzvos and receives more Kovod (honors) than himself, is primarily due to the negative influences on the world (over the last 100 or so years) from the terrible feminist/women’s liberation movement. It affects people without realizing it, even those who think they’ve been immune to it.
Vasikin comes especially late in Boro Park.
