Avira, I’m not sure I agree with you. If a Reform Jew posted on this site would you entertain his Reform views and engage in a conversation whether the Orthodox or Reform views are more correct? If not, I don’t see why engaging with the above Open Orthodox adherent is any different.
Veggies, whole wheat bread with a cup of cold water or seltzer.
Fech. Hall is an Avi Weiss apikorus adherent.
Australia? Canada?
Ghadora: Your reply left out responding to the second paragraph of the comment you were addressing. If you live your life in a Western societal framework and base your worldview on the same, rather than living a Torah societal framework and view on how you evaluate societal issues, then indeed what you say may be the current secular view on these issues. (Secular society changes its stance on these issues every several decades, moving further decadently/”progressively” to the left.)
And to be consistent with your self-subscribed views, you’d surely express the same modern Western views on supporting toeiva, abortion and blasphemy as being the correct and proper view for yourself and others to believe in, support and subscribe to.
Ghadora: Does Kayin having killed Hevel also demonstrate, per your above logic, that the Eibeshter’s opposition to murder changed somewhere along the way? And that the Yidden’s mass worship of the eigel whilst Moshe Rabbeinu was away demonstrates the Eibeshter’s previous opposition to Avoda Zora also changed somewhere along the way? As you argue, the record shows that the Eibeshter “abstained” in each of those cases.
Presumably you also argue for the righteousness of abortion, toeiva, and blasphemy, as they too are all fully legal and constitutionally protected practices in modern Western society, apparently demonstrating the Eibeshter’s “abstentions” and thus change in reasoning somewhere along the way.
“I think her time is long overdue, whether she is black, white or other.”
To huju: While you disagree with Mr. Biden, Old Joe in the White House does insist it be a person of African descent and not an Asian, Caucasian or “other”.
Regarding your agreement with Joe that it be a she and not a he, Hashem has very good reason to insists judges only be a He.
To huju: Proper English syntax requires you to use the term him rather than his.
If you’re in middle school you likely learnt this already.
5T: Which part of Czechoslovakia?
The three went to their graves as unrepentant sinners. Jews are embarrassed of them.
Next time he comes to Shul give a klap on the Bima and yell “Sheigetz Aross!”
Use an in-home dryer rather than hanging it outside on the clothes line.
The zionist State IS an apartheid state. The way that state brutalizes Chareidim, and has continuously been doing so since its founding in 1948 until this very day, as witnessed by many and reported widely including on this site, amply demonstrates as such.
What new theme? It’s only one person engaging in such immature behavior.
In our Shul, popa_bar_abba is always our designated Gelila mechubed; as such, such a situation couldn’t occur.
Dear Romain,
Eretz Yisroel belongs to ALL Yidden. That’s a befeirush Torah. It is no more owned or controlled by its residents than Yidden anywhere, equally. Every Yid everywhere has a right to say what should be in Eretz Yisroel.
Cheney should be completely booted out of the party.
The oilem thinks this is a gevaldike maaisa.
Yes. Biden thinks Russia is likely to invade Ukraine. Europe, and Ukraine itself, think Russia is unlikely to actually invade, and is merely sabre rattling in order to extract concessions from NATO.
No. Her family was owned by a Goldberg family. Upon emancipation they took their master’s surname.
Reb Eliezer, even if the two most qualified candidates were equal to each other, it is absolutely wrong to use race or other such factors as a tie breaker. Race and such should have absolutely no bearing whatsoever in making the selection.
Would you be okay if the white guy was selected over an equally qualified black candidate simply because he’s white?
The reality is when they specifically select a minority or woman or other such criteria to the detriment and exclusion of white guys, they’re selecting a clearly less qualified minority candidate.
The Ukraine is an artificial country created by the communists. Prior to the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, it was never an independent country. It was always, essentially, part of the same country as Russia. It was effectively first created as a separate legal entity after the Russian revolution in 1917 when the communists created for their own political purposes.
Furthermore, Crimea has been part of Russia for hundreds of years from the time of Catherine. It was only transferred on paper, since it made virtually no legal difference, from Russia to Ukraine in the 1970s by the Ukrainian dictator of the USSR, Krushekov.
And in 2014 Obama and Hillary supported and assisted the violent coup d’etat against the democratically elected President of Ukraine, replacing him with an anti-Russian government.
America and NATO have no interest in protecting the Ukrainian government.
Simcha: Yes. Reagan was absolutely wrong on that. If the nine Supreme Court justices, selected due to their being the most qualified candidates, were all White Anglo-Saxon Protestant men, then G-d bless all those male WASP justices. And long may they serve.
Bean counting has no place in selecting the most qualified candidates.
That was R Wein’s own commentary on history; not simply his reporting history. Avira’s correct question was how smerel’ citation of R Wein’s commentary is relevant to this discussion.

Never leave a patient alone in the hospital.
I always knew that after much hard work of making convincing and historically and factually accurate comments, that I would finally be able to count huju as one of my legends of followers who agree with my posts.
The Democrats support gross immorality, abortion, toeiva and terrible social policies to a far greater extent than their political opponents.
Grover Cleveland was both the 22nd and the 24th president. He is counted twice since his two terms were non-consecutive.
Just like Donald Trump can be both the 45th and the 47th president.
huju: You’re not the only person who keeps his head in a bubble and laughs when only listening to sources that conforms with your worldview while shutting yourself out from the truths that hurt your sensibilities that inform about news happenings and viewpoints that your left-wing upbringing cannot stomach.
P.S. The Economist (which I’ve been reading since the early/mid-90’s) is liberal. And the Wall Street Journal news pages (not considering its editorial page) is certainly not conservative and, in fact, leans against conservatism. This has been the case both when Dow Jones was owned by the Bancroft family as well as since it has been bought by News Corp, which under its Bancroft contractual sale terms is permanently firewalled from influencing the news pages.
AAQ: Is that also why TSA agents do a patdown and hand search on little old ladies at the airport while letting the Arab guys go through unmolested?
It’s always bad news when a Jew is running the show in politics.
Ukraine is a highly antisemitic country. They’re infamous for the Cossacks that murdered Yidden. Tach V’Tat. And during the Holocaust they helped the Nazis annihilate Jews.
Even today they revere and honor those antisemites who murdered thousands of Jews, with statues, holidays, parades and celebrations.
huju: I don’t know that there are three reliable news sources. The ones you cited are all far left ideologues infamous for lying and twisting. Examples of other outlets that are comparatively more reliable, even if they suffer their own biases to a notably lesser extent than your examples are The Economist, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Times.
Switch back to Saf. (As an aside, you shouldn’t have switched in the first place.)
Most people don’t keep Shabbos, either.
“How many guys would notice something like that.”
Wearing a Talis 7 days a week, 354 days a (Jewish) year, you’d surely notice it on yourself, if not on the dozens of other Talis-donning men (and Yekkishe/Sefardishe bochorim) you’re with every single morning.
Oddly, in all the years I’ve rarely seen someone’s Talis fall off in Shul.
It’s been working the good ole fashioned way for thousands of years. No need to reinvent the wheel.
Because any ehrliche Yid’s filter blocks Discord.
huju: busses is a valid variant spelling of buses. In fact, until the 1960s, busses was the default spelling in the dictionary.
Regardless of Tianamen, the New York Times, Washington Post and Reuters are unreliable and disreputable sources.
Check Yelp.
RW: Where have you ever heard that they stop people who already got off the bus and are on the public street?
33, what about 42 (not to mention 99)?
America shouldn’t be the world’s policeman.
Bouncing_Yak:
Why aren’t you out there publicly protesting against the African cannibals that murder and eat their fellow Africans?
And protesting against the African tribes (Hutus, Tutsis, Zulus, Amharas, Igbos, etc. etc.) that are at constant unending unceasing warfare against other African tribes, killing each other mercilessly and capturing, enslaving and selling opposing tribesmen and tribeswomen.
You only care about the Chinese perpetrators but not so much about the African perpetrators?
Just add a little glue to any fabric Talis.
Much more effective.
The Uyghur’s aren’t being killed.
Totally crazy comparison.
It is ridiculous. Likely a fad. Certainly meaningless.
It’s like when meme traders move the market on a certain stock for a period of time before it falls back to earth.
There’s no inherent value here.
The trick is to know how to say what you’re trying to convey in a sufficiently subtle manner that’s proven to past muster, whereas had the same message been worded slightly differently it would end up in the recycle bin.
CharlieHall: There’s a lot more than three countries in Africa.
Perhaps you visited those without cannibalism.
EJM: You should be more worried about the constant killings in Africa.
