    If your friend thinks shes smart then he will think his kids are smart as well even if they arent. (She will convince him if hes in doubt).

    “Believes in interpreting halacha to conform with modern, 21st century, western sensibilities.”

    Does this mean kula shopping as well as that if theres something they want to do and they find a daas yachid they will pasken like him?

    Sometimes the person calling doesnt hear everything that the one who answers the phone says especially if they are really focused on what they have to say and what they need and not expecting more than a hello.

    I think finding people annoying is directly related to how much time you spend here and how seriously you take this place.

    I asked a Rabbi and was told that if you hold an Eruv isnt kosher then you cant ask someone to carry and be “oiver” for you.

    Is it appropriate for a young recently married guy to be checking out single girls for his friends? Doesnt sound all that kosher.

    I hear, but at the same time you may not ask him to carry for you in an eruv that you dont hold of.

    The question is if there is a chiyuv to give tzedaka to someone who knocks on your door and says he is collecting so he or his fellow chassidim can go to Uman.

    They are not imposing their frumkeit on you so stay out of it. If they dress their 3-4 year olds al pi Hilchos tznius then for them its a problem to have such a picture and therefore they did what was necessary.

    You are correct. Some people just dont know how to behave. I know other people who didn’t attend and they were all harassed by friends and family. You dont know whats doing by yenem and you have no idea why they didnt go and even if they didnt want to go they have that right. Its very mean to make people feel stupid and put them on the defensive for such a thing.

    Honestly there are many great ideas on this thread but if a person doesnt know what every word means its not possible to enjoy Davening. I dont know why this is advice that must be given it should be common sense but it seems that when it comes to these things common sense goes out the window. Some people foolishly expect that spiritual attainments should be easy. Just like you have to work extremely hard to earn a million dollars, to excel spiritually also takes a lot of effort. Davening is not automatic, it requires feeling and heart and to access the heart it requires thought and contemplation. You have to be fully mentally absorbed in it.

    I dont know why but the first thing that came to mind was the shoe exhibit at the holocaust museum. The Nazis took our shoes. Jews dont take other Jews shoes they GIVE shoes to other Jews who cant afford them.

    I asked a Rabbi and was told a girls skirt must extend approx 4 inches past the knee when standing so that when she sits bends…no part of her knee will be showing. How many women may be covering when they stand but the second thsy sit down WHOOPS?

    I second what Mod 42 said. People dont understand how much in debt these organizations are. I was once speaking to someone who runs a large kiruv organization and he was almost crying to me how he is close to half a MILLION dollars in debt and he doesnt know what to do.

    “I know many women who would be offended enough to expose more. “

    Are we talking about mature adults?!

    Its Hashems Torah and we have an obligation to keep it fully. If someone tells me what I ate had a questionable hechsher I should go and buy pork?! What would that accomplish?!
