Tizku L’Mitzvos.
Halacha describes what age one must marry by. No need to reinvent the wheel. Simply follow the Halacha.
A husband doesn’t have to give a divorce (Get) if he doesn’t want to if he wants to remain married to his wife. Even if she wants a divorce. That’s the rule and law in the Torah and as codified as Halacha in Shulchan Aruch.
There are a very small number of exceptions where she’s entitled to a Get upon request, when the situation meets one of the few exceptions specifically listed by Chazal stating so. But as Avira pointed out even in those exceptional cases he’s not obligated to give a Get unless and until a bona fide Beis Din that both parties agreed to its jurisdiction over their case rules he’s obligated, after conducting a full Beis Din trial and reaching a Psak Halacha whether an obligation exists or not.
Shows how much I know.
“@ujm, and who said thats a bad thing?”
Hashem in His Torah.
5T: If we’d follow your absurd advice, huge swaths of Yidden would c’v remain single indefinitely.
5T: To be honest, I only know of 42 because it used to be an insider’s joke when this coffee room first started.
Just ask Moderator-42.
There are only three posters. You, me and the moderator who posts as everyone else.
Avira, de Blasio also was not a known radical leftist before he became mayor. He proved himself that only once in City Hall. In fact, he previously represented the frum Boro Park coming in the City Council.
Sliwa, while once made an unfortunate reference to our community (Eisav Soneh L’Yaakov is pretty universal), overall he has a decades-long history of friendly and helpful interactions with the frum community.
All this said, Adams is a shoe-in to winning the election in this one-party city.
42.
benignuman: How do you like Montreal?
The general rule is Democrats are a disaster. And Republicans are clearly much less bad than the Democrat candidate.
Despite all the sophistry the leftists use when trying to sell you a bridge. Actually give away the bridge for “free”.
Reb Eliezer, many chasanim are mature and do get married before age 21.
Until 4 years ago, the minimum are for marriage in the State of New York was 14, for both groom and bride
GHadora: You seem, uh, a bit too familiar about where exactly all the prutzas head down the runway to show off their guf.
Avira, ich farshtay. I wanted to raise a more relevant and consequential discussion on a tangential issue.
16 or 17. By 18 Chazal say he should be getting married already.
A large segment of women are following the shmutzdik styles spit out from Paris. They’ll modify it a bit to make it appear less goyishdik, for example by adding something to barely cover what is supposed to never be uncovered, but the general idea is coming from Paris.
In frum lingo, the “town” is New York City, Greater Lakewood and Greater Monsey.
Do you remember when people traveled to Eretz Yisroel by ship?
“Anyone knows more on this?”
AAQ: Rabbi Tendler met his future wife in the New York Public Library, as you mentioned. Her father, Rav Moshe, had nothing to do with facilitating, approving or putting the shidduch together in any way.
Whichever one has better shrayim.
When the coffee room first started there used to be a handful of highly active high school teenage girls posting here.
mbachur: Wolfish, squeak and the venerable CharlieHall still swing by.
Juno was liked since it was originally a pure email only service that you could dial in directly to Juno’s servers with your modem, and there was no other internet access.
DaMoshe, most Chasiduses (other than Chanad) are pretty similar to each other. Give or take certain dress or minor minhagim differences.
Gentlemen, here are the missing comments:
Anyone old enough to remember when NYC had trolleys?
Did you have a rotary dial phone in regular use during your youth?
Did you have a pen pal that you communicated with via postal mail?
Do you remember paper food stamps?
Do you remember when calling out of state cost 25 cents a minute and calling Israel cost $3+ a minute? (Still in the early and mid ’90s.)
Do you remember the nuclear threat from the Soviet Union?
Do you remember the G & Sons store in Brooklyn or Alexander’s in Kings Plaza?
Did you ever use CompuServe, Usenet, IRC or Gopher?
Do you remember when pizza and the subway cost a dollar?
Do you remember using tokens when driving through the toll booths?
Do you remember when very few people knew about the Internet and very few people had a cellphone (or “car phone”)?
ubiq: The chilik being that in your Yeshiva Olomeinu was considered to be a divrei chol, whereas by Yseribus it was deemed a divrei kodesh.
/bracing
We should struggle to fulfill Hashem’s commandments for us even if we were to get no Gan Eden at all.
Yseribus: At least you’re not old enough to remember when the boys and girls used to dance together in the Young Israel social halls.
How ’bout we all guess each other’s ages.
Syag is 100% correct My chavrusa learns with me for free. And there’s never been a thought of him being underpaid.
Read the Seforim Hakedoshim.
Shimon: people will still have the same spouses after Techiyas Hameisim.
I’m not aware of a Chasidish community in Passaic.
AAQ, a man will get all his wives back. (Non-Jews aren’t coming back.)
Reb Eliezer, the same thing that Yaakov Avinu will do regarding Rochel Imeinu and Leah Imeinu.
Reb Eliezer, the same thing that Yaakov Avinu will do regarding Rochel Imeinu and Leah Imeinu.
Philosopher: Do you have a source that the husband and wife relationship is broken in Olam Habo? Because we know that the relationship remains active even after Techiyas Hameisim.
“that takes no breaks for yom tov, weddings, or clock change.”
Not necessarily. Many Daf Yomi Shiurim do take breaks for Yom Tov, etc. And catch up afterwards. And some people, individually, take off from the Shiur for chasuna, simchas, work and other family or organizational events.
Other choices:
Manchester, England
London, England
The Samsung and Motorola flip phones are fully functional Android smartphones. No different than their regular Android phones.
Who is gonna cook the food and do the laundry after Moshiach?
Why are people these days too “weak” to fast and instead seek to replace it with tzedaka?
In the entire Chicago their are only three such groceries?
TLIK: “I wonder the source of your Torah. Firstly, tell me where it says to give petch? It is not included among the 613 Mitzvos, not according to the Rambam, Ramban, Sefer Hachinuch, and Shulchan Aruch does not give any such mitzvah.”
Is this pasuk missing from your Tanach (Mishlei 13:24)?: חוֹשֵֹ֣ךְ שִׁ֖בְטוֹ שׂוֹנֵ֣א בְנ֑וֹ וְ֜אֹהֲב֗וֹ שִֽׁחֲר֥וֹ מוּסָֽר:
Is your Shulchan Aruch missing Orach Chayim 551:18? The Shulchan Aruch makes a special point to say not to hit children during “the three weeks” between the 17th of Tammuz and Tisha Bi’Av. This makes clear that parents and teachers, when appropriately hitting the rest of the year, is to be for the purpose of education. The Shulchan Aruch says not to hit like an enemy nor to hit cruelly; the adult should hit the child with a small strap (Yorah Daya 245:10). Pischai Tshuva on this expands further on how to hit a child.
Ashkenazim do permit hitting a child till the age of twenty two. However several complex issues enter the question after the child is bar/bas mitzva [Yora Daya 240:19-20, Rama, Pischay Tshuva and Birchay Yosef and Rambam Dayos]. Hitting a child over bar/bas mitzva would be a possible option only if it is for the pure sake of chinuch. The parent must make an objective evaluation of the child’s nature. The hitting is not allowed if the child is married.
