    You make it sound like all a husband is good for is to be the other party in bringing you children and einiklech. So basically if science found a way to work around that then you wouldn’t need a husband. Fantastic. Besides not everyone has children right away so until that happens the husband can’t make his wife happy?

    For those who practice Orthodox Judaism and believe in the Zohar it is quite ironclad and there’s nothing dangerous about it.

    For all those pro Roosevelters

    FDR deliberately hurt Jews by restricting their immigration to nearly zero and opposing opening refugee camps in N. Africa (Wyman p 117). In June 1939, FDR refused to save 900 Jews aboard the ship St. Louis. FDR repeatedly endorsed the Holocaust – he suppressed news about it (Treasury Report) and would not permit bombing of deportation railways or crematoria at the camps even when it could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives (Wyman p 295). FDR delayed the freeing of prison camps in the Netherlands as long as possible so the Jews would die. Report to the Secretary on the Acquiescence of this Government in the Murder of the Jews, Treasury Department, January 13, 1944, said FDR was “guilty not only of gross procrastination and willful failure to act, but even of willful attempts to prevent action from being taken to rescue Jews from Hitler.” Just one fact of many that are in the report – “By the act of 1924, we are permitted to admit approximately 150,000 immigrants each year. During the last fiscal year only 23,725 came as immigrants. Of these only 4,705 were Jews fleeing Nazi persecution.”

    For more on this gruesome FDR horror see Abandonment of the Jews by David Wyman, 1984; and PBS’s The American Experience | America and the Holocaust.

    You are correct. You must use a knife or some tool to scrape the cooked kernels off and inspect before eating to make sure its bug free.

    “A marriage should involve 2 people who are complete.”

    Our sources teach us that a person is in fact incomplete and only half a soul until he/she gets married. Marriage completes and unites the 2 halves of the soul into one unit.

    We have not gone off the deep end, but the world has. Its absolutely repulsive to see some of the ads that pop up in the apps on my filtered phone that unfortunately doesn’t filter out the ads on the apps. But of course if you lead a certain lifestyle you become “immune” to anything rated lower than R or beyond.

    There are Breslov Chassidim and Nanachs. Breslov chassidim by and large are Ehrliche yidden. Nanachs by and large are crazy drug addicts and criminals and made up a religion called Nanach that has NOTHING to do with true Breslov, has nothing to do with true Chassidus, and has nothing really to do with Judaism. They are unfortunately dirtying the name of the holy Rabbi Nachman Mibreslov who was a Tzaddik yesod Olam.

    Ms. Critique who may always know the answers correctly

    In the summer I spend a lot of time looking at the sidewalks when I walk hence my noticing the chalk and getting bothered by it. Its kind of the only place that is kosher for a man to look when walking on the street…

    Theres more than one story of parents being arrested for allowing their kids to chalk sidewalks and there have been some hefty fines as well. Its against the law in many places. You can be subject to arrest for chalking on public property. The NYPD has been known to enforce a New York City law that bars writing on any public property, including sidewalks.

    It doesn’t ruin my day chas veshalom but it does annoy me and especially the fact that frum people take a part in this. I guess some people are just so immune to breaking laws and caring about yenem that they are in the “everything is ok” as long as my kid is occupied stage. Thats totally anti Torah thinking.

    For this reason I try to always think or say “bli neder” when I offer to do something for someone. We never know what may come up and how the situation can change. To answer your question, “libi omer li” that you are fine you had no idea that you would be able to send it earlier. Your whole purpose in saying what you said was that you would send it asap. Not “davka” from your office.

    Daven in a chassidish place. Its normal to raise your voice by Davening. I don’t scream or make “kolos” I raise my voice when I Daven to a conversational level. Shemoneh esrei is meant to be silent. The rest should be loud. Its called pesukei dzimrah (from the loshon of zemer-song) for a reason.

    The little I know

    Interesting that when it comes to Davening a little loudly people are disturbed. I guess you never attended a loud ball game or anything of the sort. Yes its inappropriate to scream and shout (in most shuls) but its perfectly normal to daven out loud and with feeling. I have never seen an adam chashuv that doesnt raise his voice by Davening. If you enjoy and feel your davening you raise your voice. In fact there are places in davening where we mention the concept of saying Hashems praises to others, theres the idea that when you Daven you should Daven out loud and “spur on and urge” others to praise Hashem and sing to Him.

    All the money and power has gotten to their heads. What I don’t understand is that if these people are supposed to be their “spiritual” leaders, the ones looked up to admired and respected, what else can we expect from their students and chassidim other than the worst of the worst and thuggish behavior?

    When there were kings they had advisers and if those advisers chas veshalom didnt act with the right respect they were thrown in prison and in some cases killed on the spot depending on the power of the king and if he had absolute power and all that.

    What I have found is that the way to really impact the davening is to be a good example. I like to Daven loud and I try to daven with Kavanah and feeling and I find that when Im into it, it tends to rub off on the people sitting around me and they start davening louder and with more feeling. Davening is one of those things where you can really impact other people just by you doing your best to Daven with a lot of dveikus.

    I would like to add that good Davening starts before Davening. the hachana and attitude we come to davening with is key to a successful Tefillah. If you go straight to Davening from conversation and shmoozing, well its not going to be easy to switch tracks and get into a focused davening state. I have seen people shmooze it up and then a second later roll up their sleeves and put on Tefillin. We need to think more about what we do. Bottom line.

    “My yeshiva called me for a donation. I told them they did not support my ambition to work then so I will not support them now either since my money should be considered treif and donating would be considered Mitzvah Bo Bavayrah.”

    This is one hypocrisy I will never understand. Additionally, when you were in their Yeshivah they did “diddlysquat” for you and were hardly aware you existed. But now that you have some money they have no problem making calls sucking up to you in such a disgusting manner.

    I am ok with my my wife giving me constructive criticism when necessary as long as its not too often and done tactfully. It is a wife’s job to be a “helpmate” according to our tradition. However if she berates her husband and is a nasty critical woman shes obviously not helping anybody.
