ujmParticipant
I was about to post a comment when I noticed that Syag already posted exactly what I was about to say.
October 18, 2021 6:47 pm at 6:47 pm in reply to: Shabbos Goy Colin Powell Dead from COVID-19 #2018116ujmParticipantL’maaisa, the man is now getting much more schar in Shamayim for being a Shabbos Goy than for being a Secretary of State.
October 18, 2021 4:53 pm at 4:53 pm in reply to: Shabbos Goy Colin Powell Dead from COVID-19 #2018029ujmParticipantRegarding YWN looking for editors and journalists to write articles for the site and soliciting submissions thereof, the above OP is my official example.
Somehow, I don’t think I’m going to get Reb Eliezer’s vote.
ujmParticipantAvrohom Avinu never looked at Sara Imainu.

(i) His endorsement of Obama in 2008, alleging that John McCain was “too right-wing” (!! don’t laugh too hard) is a prominent example. That after everything the Republicans did for him throughout his career. Suddenly he made an endorsement based on race.
(ii) Obviously evidence will, by definition, not be left visible, nevertheless an educated analysis clearly points to that based on the party’s need to have black cabinet members, military leaders, etc. to mollify the false accusations of racism. As well as the number of much better candidates passed over in favor of Powell.
October 18, 2021 2:21 pm at 2:21 pm in reply to: Shabbos Goy Colin Powell Dead from COVID-19 #2017987ujmParticipantDespite all his well earned criticism, it much be acknowledged with great appreciation that he was an excellent Shabbos Goy for the Bronx Jewish community.
ujmParticipantAs Rav Moshe and Chacham Ovadia Yosef found it necessary to issue a teshuva on this question, and they didn’t typically get shailos from Chasidim, it demonstrates this question was relevant to the Litvish and Sefardic communities as well.
ujmParticipantOf course an “air show” is quite vital to the security of Klal Yisroel.
They should have better used their time to daven or learn Torah, rather than put on an air show to show how big and powerful they think they are.
October 18, 2021 12:06 pm at 12:06 pm in reply to: Shabbos Goy Colin Powell Dead from COVID-19 #2017931ujmParticipant“He had cancer so the COVID created the finishing touch.”
Why didn’t his full vaccination help?
October 18, 2021 11:58 am at 11:58 am in reply to: Shabbos Goy Colin Powell Dead from COVID-19 #2017920ujmParticipantRE: Iraq was probably the only thing he got right. At least the second time. In the first round, in 1991, he forgot to take out Saddam. Which is why America needed a round two to take down that genocidal dictator.
ujmParticipant“why are there duplicate of old posts like 5 times and whya re the replies always gone?”
A CR software (bbPress) upgrade, about 6 years ago, went haywire.
ujmParticipantAh, so the Zionists buddied up with the Amaleikim.
ujmParticipantAll the Seforim throughout the ages that discuss the point clearly say that Ahavas Yisroel doesn’t extend to those who reject the Torah. Including the Chofetz Chaim.

ujmParticipantKollelman: I’m comparing it to the new medicines specifically designed to treat Covid. Not to the vaccines.
ujmParticipantKollelman: HCQ and ivermectin don’t have “decades” treating Covid.
ujmParticipantAhavas Yisroel does not extend to those who reject following the Torah.
ujmParticipantKollelman: Most importantly Molnupiravir, as well as Ronapreve and PF-07321332.
Of course there’s also good ‘ole remdvisivr.
ujmParticipantPhilosopher, in that case, in the future how will you ever know whether a medication is safe or not?
ujmParticipant“Tautology? As halakha does not generally recognize breaking common laws …”
Dinei mamonus are governed by Halacha rather than by secular law.
October 18, 2021 12:18 am at 12:18 am in reply to: David Amess (fatally stabbed by Islamic b) accused the BBC for anti-Israel bias #2017249ujmParticipantAAQ: Muslims are goyim. The difference between them and Christians, is that they are not baalei avoda zora whereas Christians are. You can daven in a mosque but you cannot even enter a church.

ujmParticipantThere are brand new drugs that treat Covid that were just released to the market by the FDA. As such, why would you even need to consider drugs like Ivermectin?
ujmParticipantThere are so many basis for warranted and justified attacks on Biden, that it is completely unnecessary to utilize any baseless attack.
ujmParticipantfarb, those reshoyim abused the word in falsely using it to describe themselves.

ujmParticipant**Mod**, you posted the last comment. It seems you didn’t intend to approve it’s pubic visibility
ujmParticipant“if those actions are not per se recognized as “ganavah” under halacha and there is no liklihood of being caught so therefore “no chilul hashem”. Or are you saying exactly the opposite which I think is what you meant (i.e. ganevah is ganevah).”
It isn’t geneiva if those actions are not per se recognized as “ganavah” under halacha.
ujmParticipantProbably the Zionists putting on a show of how strong they are.
ujmParticipantDo we expect more from a Prince?
Or can the king’s son acts no differently than the commoner on the street selling hot dogs on the corner in his stand?
October 17, 2021 7:40 pm at 7:40 pm in reply to: David Amess (fatally stabbed by Islamic b) accused the BBC for anti-Israel bias #2017128ujmParticipanttuna: to the point that we’re not allowed to even drink wine with goyim.
ujmParticipantYouTube is known to strictly police copyright violations. If it is on their platform, presumably the artists permit it to be on YouTube.
October 17, 2021 6:53 pm at 6:53 pm in reply to: David Amess (fatally stabbed by Islamic b) accused the BBC for anti-Israel bias #2017073ujmParticipantHealth, part of our religion is not to assimilate.
ujmParticipantGoldilocks, these days you can become anything you want. 🤣
ujmParticipantAAQ: What “contract” did you sign when you bought a book in Barnes & Noble or a CD in your neighborhood supermarket?
Dina Dmalchusa doesn’t necessarily apply to issues between Yidden.
IP in halacha doesn’t have a straightforward answer.
October 17, 2021 6:26 pm at 6:26 pm in reply to: ADHD can be an expression of the creative mind #2017013ujmParticipantPhilosopher, all the same points can be made regarding someone labelled as “austistic” or “asperger’s syndrome”.
ujmParticipantThe Rama 246:4 rules explicitly that it is absolutely prohibited according to Halachah to engage in a curriculum of secular studies. To read secular studies now and then, is permitted, he says. The source of the Rama is the Yerushalmi Sanhedrin.
ujmParticipantMaivin: Thank You.
AAQ: Are you comparing Rabi Shimon Ben Shetach’s simultaneous hanging of 80 women to the French revolutionaries??
ujmParticipantYouTube music has heimishe singers?
ujmParticipantPhilosopher, in fairness to barlshwartz1, barlshwartz1’s comment does cite various sources.
ujmParticipantThe Gemorah, Rambam, Shulchan Aruch and sh”ut seforim from ancient times down to modern seforim all talk about and discuss the obligations of women and what is and isn’t appropriate regarding dress, behavior and many other matters, on a wide spectrum. And all are authored by men. These halachic requirements and obligations are taught, learnt and discussed in yeshivos the world over, all populated by male rebbeim and male talmidim. It has been this was 2000 years ago through today, with no pause in between.
Men bear the halachic responsibility and obligation to to insure and enforce that their wives and daughters are always in compliance with these Torah and halachic obligations that they, as women, are duty-bound to adhere to. When a wife or daughter fails in these regards, it is the husband and father who rightfully bears blame.
The very idea that men aren’t supposed to discuss women issues and the laws relevant to them has no basis in Torah, Yiddishkeit or Halacha. It purely comes from modern Westernized thinking of the post-feminist movement. The pro-abortion arguments, in fact, are fully predicated on this modern foreign idea.
If Jewish men would abdicate their responsibility to insure that Hilchos Noshim are known and followed, compliance would undoubtedly go down 25 notches. Which is why rabbonim the world over keep impressing in their droshos to men (including often and importantly regarding tznius) the necessity to know and follow these obligations.
ujmParticipantAAQ: This hasn’t to do with our visions of the Sanhedrin. Forget than neither of us are anywhere on the madreiga of the Chazon Ish. But Rambam himself writes that Beis Din can execute 100 people per day, if need be. And above I brought the story from the Gemorah where Rabi Shimon Ben Shetach, the Nasi of the Sanhedrin, hanged 80 women in one shot.
October 17, 2021 12:43 pm at 12:43 pm in reply to: ADHD can be an expression of the creative mind #2016859ujmParticipantSome of our most amazing community members, entrepreneurs, askanim, rebbis, menahlim, teachers and talmidei chachamim are also using their autism properly to make the world a better and more interesting place.
ujmParticipant“If we can guarantee that Sanhedrin would do exactly what Chazon Ish says, we do not need a Sanhedrin.”
AAQ: That’s the same point I made. After one or two executions the problem would be solved and the rest would fall in line.
“Of course, if all members of Sanhedrin will vote that way – then there is no death penalty, of course because deliberation is ot valid if there is no diversity of views … something to keep in mind in discussions”
If the Sanhedrin decided to execute such a woman, they’d be utilizing their extrajudicial powers rather than their normal judicial authority. Much like when Rabi Shimon Ben Shetach, the head of the Sanhedrin, hanged 80 women for practicing witchcraft. He did so without any formal convening of the Sanhedrin or Beis Din to try those women. And he used a method of execution outside the normal four methods of Beis Din. As such, I don’t think they unanimity concern is at issue in such a case.
October 17, 2021 12:23 pm at 12:23 pm in reply to: Research: The ultra-Orthodox are happier than the secular by a considerable marg #2016832ujmParticipanthuju: What does your comment have to do with the obligations to follow Hashem’s commandments?
October 17, 2021 8:10 am at 8:10 am in reply to: ADHD can be an expression of the creative mind #2016799ujmParticipantIsn’t the same argument presented regarding autism? That autistic children are simply living their own unique individual life, and don’t need to be changed, and should be accepted as is, being their own normal selves.
ujmParticipantSome people don’t care if a book is prohibited by Halacha to be read. If they want to read it, then the heck with Halacha.
ujmParticipantRE: what water?
ujmParticipant“Cutting hair short was definitely a widespread custom.”
Among those that didn’t shave completely, cutting short was the norm, standard and default. Anything more than short was certainly the exception.
ujmParticipantAvira, your citations of the Maharil Diskin, the Baal HaTurim, Rav Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld, etc indicates this mesora was the minhag in Lita and elsewhere, not just places such as Hungary. Do you know how extensively this was practiced by the Litvish and others?
