Uncle Ben

Translation please.

Moshe Dovid is right, long term Kollel is not for everyone. It’s important to learn for a year or two to establish Torahdig home. Girls shold be taught that frum boys are worthy marriage candidates even if they are not planning to learn for long term or even not at all in Kollel
One thing that always puzzled me was that boys who were in their upper twenties and already had their 5 years of learning would still insist on 5 years of support! Hello! You had your 5 years already!

Winnie; “When in Rome…” is a quintessential goyishe hashkafa. A Yid is a Yid wherever he/she may be.

My father, he should be well, told me that he remembers that the music at weddings in the pre late ’60’s era was not amplified. It seems though that shockingly those Kiddushins & Nisuins were nontheless chal and the couples were Halachicly married! I believe that if that was tried nowadays, doubt would be cast on the validity of such a marriage.

Which pastrami cut has less fat?

Tlik & GC; I don’t approve or disapprove of anyone’s behavior, Hashem and his Torah may though.
One of the definitions of a min/apikorus is not accepting even one mitzvah of the Torah.
I am not disagreeing with Rav Moshe zt”l or any other Posek chas veshalom as I am not even a Rav. I’m just pointing out a hashkafic or emotional aspect. If he had eaten pork in public in order to bring lost souls back to Yiddishkeit, would all his defenders feel the same way? What is the difference? Could he have used the same vacuous pikuach nefesh excuse?

Freddy; She’s a woman, that’s why. As indicated by tbe feminine ending of her pen name.

Iaskern; Maybe because in the Gemara it’s a machlokes and since it’s not halacha lemaaseh we don’t pasken one way or the other even though we usually just hear one of the shitahs quoted.

Re: the public restroom; easy one, just take the cost NYC paid for the 18th ave park restroom and divide it by 10!

Shopping: I believe that most girls who wind up in Arab relationships come from dysfunctional homes. Nonetheless, constantly greeting female neighbors or co-workers can lead to kirvah and is discussed in the Rambam.
The concept of an office where men & women worked together was unheard of in the times of Chazal. If it was there is no doubt that they would have instituted precautionary guidelines for them.

Slonimer; The problem is we don’t know which ones are illegal. We need someone to do the research manually at Dept. of Buildings and post it on a dedicated website so we can check it up on the fly when we’re parking.
Thank you in advance.

Toi: I tell my wife to just let the men hold on to the roof rack. Why bother with the rope and all.

I think it was mentioned somewhere that due to industry consolation the Jewish owned distributor just recently acquired a majority of the wholesale market in this area rendering it assur.

Jj2020; Are you advocating the death penalty even for psychopaths who aren’t serial killers?

Meaningless purposefullness.

Ubiquitin;
One reason it’s bothering me is because I subscribed to this thread and didn’t realize until now that one can unsubscribe.
Another reason is because the thread was about Ezras Nashim and degenerated into an EMS vs. Hatzolah contest.
Thirdly, it’s one of these unprovable debates such as vaccines or climate change.
What do you mean unprovable? I can prove it to you right now ….!!!
See what I mean!?

Joseph: A Rosh Yeshiva is usually busy sending his talmidim out of the coffee room not spending so much time there himself.

Little Froggie: Reminds me of the ad for a product that proclaimed that it was made with real people. Of course most actors are real people or are they?

Joseph; What language do you think our forefathers used for mundane speech in the time of, say Bayis Rishon?

20goingon724; It says the moderation message for everyone.

Also too much caffeine (energy drinks etc.) and alcohol can cause cardiac arrest since they have opposite effects on the heart. Use caution!

They wear it by their chasuna and then on Yomim Tovim. I don’t know when it started but it definitely is not new. I saw it done over 20 years ago. By the way the Chazon Ish wrote to Bnei Torah in his Igros; “It is proper to wear a “chaluka derabonon”. That was well over 30 years ago!

KetanahHador; That was a very funny comment about Zuckerberg being the guest of honor at the most assur the internet asifos. I guess if I laugh at Jackie Mason (Yakov Mazza) jokes I can laugh at yours as well. Please check your spelling before hitting the post button. By the way, my name is not Binyamin, it’s Benzion.

The answer can be learned from the following story which took place with Rav Avigdor Miller זצ”ל. In his older years he was told that he needed surgery to replace a valve in his heart. He refused to have the operation, insisting that he had bitachon that Hashem would heal him. His wife and family pressured him to undergo the operation but he steadfastly refused. This went on for a period of time, I don’t recall for how long. One day he suddenly announced that he would proceed with the procedure. When he was asked about his change of heart (pun intended) he said that as far as he was concerned nothing changed however he realized that he had no right to practice his bitachon on his wife’s cheshbon!

Lightbrite; Someone who consistently mocks Daas Torah by not only her silly posts but by her username as well needs to be called out, consistently!
