What is it exactly that their willing to die for? The right to kill their unborn children?
Joseph: The Yated in America predates the American Hamodia by a nice few years.
Ctl; Why do you feel spiritual degeneration is a despicable hate filled term?
1; It’s always easier to choose an outsider than to choose between insiders. The Badatz Eidah Chareidis has been choosing outsiders for their top position for decades for this reason.
There goes KatanHadorah exposing her secularist mindset to one and all. Only someone steeped in secular culture would use the Hindu term karma.
The choices here are both bad. Can we at least spell publicly correctly?
Time for truth; You raise an interesting point. The entire Arab Spring revolutionary movement (which resulted in untold death and destruction) was sparked by a female Tunisian police officer who slapped an unlicensed male street vendor who in despair took his own life.
Shuttling?
Those who need to pace, let them, except during shmoneh esreh.
Zgate; Your shul sounds too rigid.Ff; OK, I won’t hock you up about the Bosch mixer, but what about the Bosch dishwashers, ovens and refrigerators? Can I use audio equipment such as a microphone stand boom arm made by K&M in Germany? Where does this end?
Zoom also has several models that work well.
I heard that certain Turkish kehilos of Spanish or Portuguese origin recite the Brich Shmei during Pesichah in Ladino. It begins “Bendico sunombre”, if I recall correctly.
הער צו! רבותי מיר וועלען בענטשען
Ashk; I don’t know Joseph so I can’t vouch for him. I highly doubt he’s the star of my story.
Ferd that story you linked to is from 3 years ago
Is there any evidence, anecdotal or otherwise that suggests that women’s facial lines etc. are due to cosmetics use?
The problem is it’s difficult to ascertain if a driveway is illegal. I’m referring to NYC. There is no central online database for it.
Obviously the OP is just trying to mock those who he imagines are frummer than him. Nonetheless a legitimate topic has been raised. The halacha that I’ve heard is that one cannot ask someone to do something that he/she holds is assur for him/her to do at that time. Benefiting from that action according to the Biur Halacha in Hilchos Shabbos who is discussing where a bona fide melacha was done is only mutar when the melacha did not transform the item into a usable condition, such as Hotza’ah.
CS; That was written up in Zman magazine about 6 years ago. The security situation in the vast Xinjiang region has intensified in recent years making it highly unlikely that they will be reached anyone soon. When Rav Chaim Kanievsky shlita was asked how is it possible in today’s world that we don’t know where they are, he answered מסתירים אותם מן השמים
Sounds like a NYC subway tranfer station. “Transfer here for the LGBTQ, stand clear uh da closin doors”!
What about BLT?
RY: Great logic! Now let’s see you get a shark for your fish tank!
Huju: Ever notice that when you follow a Naturopathic Doctor that the underlying condition is cured and you don’t have take unhealthy and dangerous side effects causing drugs for the rest of your life?
Apushateyid: Whoever took and posted the video doesn’t look like the one who made the tumult.
Divided as on all issues.
Midwest: “Some supplements can put you in the hospital, and some vitamins can make you very sick if you take too much.” Well that makes them safer than drugs, since many drugs can put someone in the hospital and all drugs can make one sick.
Personally I use certain supplements that I have found helpful. Primarily herbs or amino acids with limited vitamins. As with drugs everything has to be used in the proper dosage. Even too much water in too short a time period can be fatal.For all those hoping for the US Supreme Court to allow polygamy based on religious freedom, don’t forget that this can work both ways. Women will demand the right to marry multiple husbands. See what a can of worms will be opened.
Avi K;
An even bigger mitzvah may be safeguarding one’s ruchniyos by not enlisting. The Rav you quote is clearly a daas yochid. None of the recognized Gedolei Yisroel hold like that.
I heard from a son of Rav Boruch Kaplan z”l (husband of the famous mechaneches Reb. Vichna Kaplan) that his father related how he witnessed as a talmid in Chevron Yeshiva in the 1920’s, Zionist activists provoking the Arab population which led to the infamous riots of 1929. The point is that mostly secular Zionists instigated and eventually established the state. Therefore it is their obligation to protect it, not to force everyone to do so. To proclaim it a “milchemes mitzva” which was deemed by Neviim is preposterous.
Additionally since the holocaust tens of thousands of Jews have perished in wars and terror attacks in Israel R”l. How many have perished elsewhere? I am not a supporter of neturei karta or even the Satmar shita rather I’m an Agudist and just trying to put this in perspective.Anyone who has a smartphone without a good filter such as Netspark, Gentech or similar is guilty of giruy hayetzer at least and avizrayu d’arayos and avodah zarah/kefirah at worst. Ayin roeh, lev chomed vklei maaseh gomrim! Vehamayvin yovin.
Oops! To late now!
WC; Yes. He has several married children of his own already. Now let’s not get any ideas here people. They’re lucky it worked out but don’t try this at home!
BenK; Are you ready to put your money where your mouth is? So go ahead and print them out, who’s stopping you? You probably expect “someone else” to do the dirty work, don’t you?
In any case, they’re highly unlikely to show up in your community or shul. These people are a small fringe group who have their own little shul in Monsey and maybe London.Years ago a bochur was learning in Yeshiva in Yerushalayim. He came to a “bashow” with a a girl from a Yerushalmi family. After a short time of meeting the girl and parents, all of a sudden many relatives began arriving and wishing them Mazel Tov on their engagement! The father had apparently arranged a fait accompli! The bochur was American and on his own and was too embarrassed to protest or escape. They’re still married and have a large family.
I know him personally and he is still embarrassed until this day. I only heard about it from an older person who helped me with my shidduch.Dorahleh; You totally misinterpreted my post. You don’t know what ma yomru hagoyim means?
Also your post can be misunderstood to read that Rabbi Wolowik runs the Chabad house in 5 Towns together with the 2 galochim! That is obviously not what you meant. Reread your posts before hitting the submit button.
Re the awkwardness, I once heard an interesting story from Rabbi Manis Friedman. He was asked to speak to a Jewish woman who wanted to convert to Christianity. He asked her why she wanted to convert. She said that she discovered such beautiful scripture there. He asked her, such as? She said, like Psalms!!! She had no idea it was from our Tanach! So if the galach quotes Tanach it should be off limits to us? By the way I was proud that President Bush quoted Tehillim when he addressed the nation after the Sept 11 attacks. He quoted from the mizmor ledovid we sing at seuda shlishis. גם כי אלך בגיא צלמות לא אירה רע כי אתה עמדי. Even though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death, I am not afraid because you are with me.Dorahleh; Why are you bothered by the publishers trying to help more Yidden? Re the type size, I already had to get “progressive” lenses, probably would be more suitable for you😏! If you’re not nearsighted as well, then you could always get a pair of reading glasses attached to a band which can hang down. This would look better when you’re knitting Afghans for your einiklach on your rocking chair.
Seems Take 2 is not responding so I will. The main chillul Hashem is doing an avairah bifnay asarah meyisrael! Not ma yomru hagoyim; why didn’t that Jew stand up when our savior cheese-us was invoked.
Dorah; It would be nice if you gave an example of a real accommodation as opposed to some mindless Purim Torah.
Chumras; I agree with you about the irritating arbitrariness of the varying font sizes. I find the uniformly small font size of the Artscroll siddurim irritating as well.How about a “shafer” instead of a shaver. Also known as a shofar.
Joseph; “anyone else”?
RY & Meno; You guys crack me up!😂
Maybe she should say over some good jokes from Rabbi Dovid Orlofsky! Or if she can do a good southern accent she can say how “seminarah has totally changed ma laf”!Dorah; Not sure what your post has to do with this thread.
I guess since it’s on an ad hoc basis it’s mutar as opposed to an actual service in a structure dedicated to serving cheese-us.
Dorah; You should consider writing for the National Onion.
Joseph: Your comments re: potential jury members are inaccurate. A homeless individual would not receive a jury summons. An obvious drunkard would not be allowed to serve. What is your objection to one who is unfortunately unemployed?
Iaskern; That’s an old sugya (in Yevamos?) known as “I am my own grandpa!” Of course that’s when both of those couples have children. That’s when you need to have a bottle of Tylenol ready when you read through the ensuing family tree.
Though not qualifying for your extreme example, reading a description of the intertwining marriages of the Skverer Twersky’s and the Vizhnitzer Hager’s would require the bottle of Tylenol at hand as well.Haleivi; I’m awaiting your response to my profound question! 🌝
I now have another question. Should we throw the sheitlach into the 🔥 or just the advertisements for the Headlines show?Lesschumras; A Yehudi is a Yehudi! There, are you happy now? Or will you say I’m biased against the Aseres Hashvatim and should say Israelites?! By the way I bet my Edot Hamizrah havarah impersonation could pass for the real thing! 😏
Those Romans, are they the same ones who destroyed the Bais Hamikdash? Nice of them to save the Jews or as you would say the Romans who “happened” to be Jews!DaMoshe: Who says they can’t choose? As seen in many large kehillos such as Satmar, Bobov, Viznitz, Lelov etc. they have chosen.
Oyoy: 13th ave??Haleivi: Where does lehavdil the inyan of bitul hayesh figure in this muddled morass or better in this knotted entanglement?
Mik5; Nice suggestion, but you are not answering his fundamental question. What about if he decided to learn Novardok or Chabad or Breslov seforim? Would his Yeshiva be happy with that? I’m not recommending any mehalech in particular, just wondering why the Yeshivos don’t address this on their own.
How much does each session usually cost?
