You’re okay.
I’m not as sure about the local version of the Daley Political Machine organizing a get-out-the-vote effort for people residing in cemeteries but still not expunged from the local voting roster.
Reb Eliezer: An elderly vulnerable person with preexisting conditions living at home cannot get the vaccine through normal channels currently.
Yet young Congresswoman AOC did get the vaccine. Explain that.
AAQ: Pekuach Nefesh is doche virtually everything.
johnklets, the seforim hakedoshim say that after Moshiach comes Klal Yisroel will stop celebrating yomim tovim d’oraysa, like Pesach. But the occasions instituted by the rabbonim will continue even after Moshiach. As such, l’choira nittel nacht will continue to be observed.
Reb Eliezer: Ada’s Yereim is Vien. Vienna, Austria is Catholic. They also use December 25.
What is the Jewish Journal?
Reb Eliezer: In America the goyim keep it on December 25, not January 6.
I have no idea if the allegation is true. I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if it is a complete fabrication. I would assume it is false or at least grossly mis-portrayed in the absence of proof otherwise.
That said, even if it is true there are over two million Jews living just in the five boroughs of New York City. And over a million more in that metropolitan area. Probably 25+% are Orthodox. That’s almost a million Orthodox Jews in the region. There’s always man bites dog stories of those one in a million that makes the news. The issue is the media is anti-Orthodox and portrays the one in a million as routine.
If this had been done by a black person, Hispanic, Baptist or any other group the news would not have pointed out the ethnic, religious or nationality of the offender. That antisemitism is only reserved by the media for Jews, especially of the Orthodox variety.
Another option is to, as our parents warned, put soap in the kids mouth.
It depends if nittel is a nidcha.
Charlie: common carrier laws don’t require Google to continue Gmail service to known antisemites. Thus by your own argument Google is anti-Semitic.
Why do you assume that there’s a vaad of Rabbonim decided on the curriculum rather than each girls school principal or teachers dream up their own curriculum?
I think they should teach hashkafa, home keeping, food preparation and child rearing.
Reb Eliezer: After 2100 it will change to January 5.
CTL: How were you aware of every student of yours economic status, as to whether they were poor or rich?
What if nittel falls on a Shabbos?
Before the Beis Yaakov’s started girls were educated only at home by their mothers on how to be a good Jewish wife and mother.
We’re machmir and observe both dates.
If the country passed a law with a ten year jail sentence for anyone who crossed the street illegally when the pedestrian light was red and said Don’t Walk, would you say that falls under the Torah rubric of goyim establishing laws and a justice system per the Sheva Mitzvos? Of course not. The fact is that the current laws are way out of whack and extremely and unjustifiably harsh.
Did anyone consider the correlation between parents and teachers no longer utilizing (or it becoming much less prevalent) corporal punishments (potching, etc.) and children’s behavior haven gotten much worse in the generations since such punishments have gone out of style?
Charlie Hall: AT&T and Verizon are antisemitic, as they refuse to cut off telephone service to antisemites who express antisemitic thoughts to others over the telephone. Google is also anti-Semitic as they refuse to take away Gmail accounts from anti semites.
commonsaychel: We should use Torah as our guide on right and wrong and on what proper punishments are. In the Torah jailing is exceedingly rare as a punishment, and never is it utilized for financial crimes.
President Trump and Bob Grant were made from the same caliber.
Meir G: Flipping on a LED light is d’rabbonon?
All the Mueller hoax pardons were well deserved.
Reb Eliezer: The proper punishment for white collar crime is repayment of damages plus a fine. (Check your local Bible.) Prison is counter-productive. Put white collar criminals to indentured servitude (in whatever area of business they are professionals in) and use the proceeds of their work to repay the victims.
No, it would not be a good idea. That’s aside from the extreme unlikelihood of getting a constitutional amendment passed.
This country needs less people in prison not more. Save your energies to reduce the prison population; not prevent its decrease.
End prison for white-collor crime; reserve it for violent crimes only, where it is only used to prevent reoccurrence of violence.
Is it in one of Hanoch Teller’s books?
Biden’s pending pseudo-presidency is increasingly becoming discredited. Democrats know this, have acknowledged it and are extremely angry about it.
5ish: In Chasidish and Lubavitch yeshivos they make clear to the boys that not all of them can become Talmidei Chachomim?
What about in the girls schools and Beis Yaakovs? Do they make sure the girls know that not all can become top girls and marry top guys?
CS: You mean Flim Flam Florio.
Dinkins was a washroom attendant before he got his affirmative action promotions.
Straight ahead… Let’s be heard. Before another politician folds like a cheap camera. Don’t forget, your influence counts, use it!
Mario azende me tuzeprovenos sfachim. Now we have Andrew Figlio di Sfachim.
Get off my phone, you spotchime!
ENS: Using your logic Republicans can decide that only Republicans won elections for the Senate. This way they can perpetually ensure that Republicans control the Senate.
In any event, controlling the House doesn’t in any way permit Democrats to decide who is President. The Republicans control a majority of state delegations in the House.
3 USC 15 isn’t legally enforceable in court.
Rational: How is the unmomeyed Litvish girls suffering more than the unmoneyed Chasidish girls?
Excellent points, Meir G.
Meno and Yseribus: The separate answers you offered in response to my question are giving differing explanations.
Mods review and approve new threads less frequently compared to regular posts. So they usually take longer for approval.
ENS: This process is Constitutionally exclusively in the domain of the legislative branch (Congress) and not the judicial branch. As such, the Supreme Court would rightfully rule that the courts can play no part in the process. And that the courts cannot order Congress, a coequal branch, in how to act. No court has ever ordered Congress to take any specific action.
CharlieHall: You’re a terrific virologist but (wadr) a poor constitutional scholar. There is a powerful argument that the Succession Act’s placement of the speaker in the line of presidential succession (and after her, the president pro tempore of the Senate) is contrary to the Constitution’s Succession Clause. That clause states that only an “Officer” may succeed and act as president. Most of the pertinent commentary maintains that the term “Officer” here does not include members of Congress. As such, Pelosi could not constitutionally “act as President,” even though the statute says she can.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo (the executive officer next in line under the statute) can declare himself acting president on the basis of a legal opinion from the Attorney General proclaiming legislative succession to the presidency unconstitutional.
Furthermore, as I mentioned, to preclude even getting to the above scenario (that I described in my previous comment) the Senate before January 20 could have a contingency election for Vice President and elect Michael Pence. Then Pence would remain vice president after Trump’ term ended at noon January 20 and Pence would precede all other persons in assuming the presidency.
Don’t forget that for EACH objection in the joint session of Congress on January 6 made by one congressman and one senator, Congress needs to debate (separately in the House and in the Senate) two hours over each objection. And then the two chambers need to reconvene the joint session.
And there are 51 slates of electors. And there are 538 actual electors. An objection can be made against each of the 51 slates. That’s 2 hours (plus additional administrative time to reconvene) times 51. Meaning well over a hundred hours of debating time and 51 times to regather.
Furthermore, (buckle your seatbelts) a congressman and senator can object INDIVIDUALLY against each of the 538 electors purported vote. That’s 538×2=1,076 hours of debate plus 538 times for the two houses of Congress to reconvene.
In short, one congressman and one senator can delay proceedings past January 20th.
Oh, and there’s a serious constitutional debate whether a non-member of the Executive Branch can become Acting President. The constitution says no even though the presidential succession act says yes. If the Attorney General rules the act is unconstitutional, then (is your seatbelts still buckled?) Secretary of State Mike Pompeo becomes Acting President in the absence of Congress confirming a winner of the presidential election (electoral college).
Alternatively, the Senate could have a contingency election for Vice President and elect Michael Pence. In which case he’ll become president in the absence of Congress declaring a winner of the electoral college. Because Republicans would also win a contingency election for president in the House, since Republicans control a majority of state delegations. So Pelosi would surely refuse to hold à contingency election in the House that Trump could win.
Meno, a person who lived in Antarctica from 2018 until now, with zero contact with any other human, gets vaccinated in Antarctica and returns to the US now for the first time since 2018. He isn’t safe from becoming a carrier and/or spreading the virus? Why on earth would be need to wear a mask?
Meno, come again? Someone who doesn’t have covid (not currently and perhaps not ever) can spread it??
The far lady won’t be singing until January 6.
But it’ll be kol isha to listen.
AAQ: If you’re already vaccinated I don’t see any reason you’d ever need a mask again, even if only one percent of the population has also vaccinated. Once vaccinated you’re safe from catching or spreading covid.
