CS: Can you translate your comment into English?
Do Non-Moshichists Lubavitchers believe that the Rebbe is not Moshiach?
Is that because the New York metropolitan area is home to a disproportionate percent of high income families?
P.S. Make sure you don’t delegate bringing up your children to the Polish (or Spanish) cleaning lady.
Look what you did to your brother. He was gone for over a year, you invited him back (*cough*cough*), and now he has been posting incessantly for almost a week already.
It isn’t the Security Council that’s the main problem. The United States has a veto there, which they routinely use to veto anti-Israel resolutions. The General Assembly is much more of an issue. And the UN (so-called) “Human Rights” Council devotes most of its time on Israel whilst ignoring North Korea, Iran, Syria, etc.
WB Dr. Hall!
You’re probably missing something.
AAQ: You might consider asking yourself why you’re more sympathetic to her than you are to the other case. L’maaisa, aside from sinning herself she’s causing untold thousands of others to sin, both unwillingly (they saw her unwittingly) and willingly (they took a second look, when if not for her they wouldn’t have.) It is unrealistic to impossible to expect society at large to close their eyes when crossing the street or to otherwise not notice.
It’s like becoming Jewish. Once in you can’t leave.
“I have found that when those who don’t have children in the public schools try to take over a local school board it is often an attempt to keep expenditures down and local property taxes down.”
CTL: I’m sure you heard of the good ‘ole American saying “No taxation without representation.” If you want to tax the people, those people have a right to be represented and a say. They had a right to seek to reduce expenses. If you don’t like that, then don’t tax them.
CTL: In NYC and many other municipalities the parents and taxpayers are given no opportunity at board meetings to have any influence over the curriculum.
A nekudah on our attitudes: I mentioned to kids a story of Bernie Madoff.
One asks: Was he frum?
We settled that one can only ask: was he “frum”?AAQ: I’m sure if the kid asked whether a woman who was dressed in a skirt which didn’t always cover her knees and above whether she was frum, you’d similarly conclude with him that you could only ask whether she was “frum”.
All countries in the world are members of the UN, except the Vatican.
Philosopher, there are very few countries in the world that aren’t part of the UN.
This is a famous question.
AAQ: Was Rav Moshe zt’l your friend, that you’re on a first name basis with him?
Avi,
1. No sovereignty isn’t, prior to Moshiach.
2. The zionist government protects, defends and encourages toeiva, r”l, in their state.
AAQ,
The spiritual live in Eretz Yisroel, which predates the existence of the State, is despite the best efforts of the State to interfere with it.
And don’t bother with the false premise of money distributed. The money received is a) less than the communities tax burdens and b) less than the money the State distributes to secular universities.
What are the actual halachic and what are the actual hashkafic issues in regards to taking in the Mikva?
Yseribus: If the State removed army service as a condition to permitting citizens to become employed, Chareidim would be in the official workforce in huge numbers.
HaLeVi: Please explain what the halachic issues allegedly are and what the hashkafic issues allegedly are.
huju: A woman in the army is akin to placing an elementary school student as your local firefighter. That your woman friend pays taxes makes her no different than any other taxpayer. And her employees make her like millions of other small businessmen.
If she became frum, Klal Yisroel would win regardless of where in the world she lived. If she is replaced by a Torah observant Jew, then the world wins.
Ah, so Chabad of Lakewood is alive and well.
Ah, so Chabad of Lakewood is alive and well.
“whereas in America many if not most jobs are closed to anyone who is at all frum (defined as Shomer Shabbos, Shomer Kashrus) either because the job requires work on Saturday, or the job requires living in an area where there are no frum shuls or schools).”
akuperma: What on earth are you talking about? The vast majority of jobs in America are available without needing to work on Shabbos and have kosher food in the area. Indeed, most if not all major American cities, where the majority of good paying jobs are located, have frum communities in town.
Satmar is famous for hachnosas orchim. Perhaps Satmar of Lakewood can help.
huju: Your friend would do far better for both herself and for Klal Yisroel by living a Torah observant life in the Philippines than by living a secular life in Israel.
Is there anywhere (other than Kiryas Yoel and New Square) that lacks a Chabad house?
Vote No to all the proposed constitutional amendments in NY.
P.S. This is a general election open to all. It isn’t a “Democrat” primary.
The day is properly called Erev Shabbos.
Contemporary public schools indoctrinate their children with secularism, antireligion and left-wing dogmas.
TLIK: And who do you think is best suited to make that decision of yay or nay?
No. No.
You really knew all that, right?
MBD also used goyishe tunes.
Another episode of the Health-ubiquitin squabble! Pass the popcorn and enjoy the show.
Regularly scheduled commercials will resume in sixteen days, following the ending of this fun-filled part.
Novelty, what was the “little bit of an interesting family history”?
This website has no method or ability to connect strangers.
There’s a big Sopron kehila in Williamsburg.
Did Yiddishkeit survive in Hungary until 1956 and after ’56 the frum left the country?
WB Reb Wolf. It’s been ages since you last graced us with your presence.
The zionist government has been beating frum Jews mercilessly since 1948.
TLIK: More often than not the fighting between exes after a divorce is more bitter than it was when they were still married. And after divorce they are far far more likely to be using the poor innocent children as their pawns in fighting with their ex than they ever did while still living together.
Divorcing to “spare the children” from the fighting is typically a foolhardy course of action that is counterproductive. All that is “gained” is now the children are no longer living with both their parents, having traded that in for a broken home with a missing parent who they’re lucky to see once a week instead of seven days a week.
Growing up without both full time parents causes far more harm than acknowledged.
