I have phone number of young man who was and may still be member of that bais din. Email me at [email protected] as I won’t put his number here
January 2, 2024 9:40 pm at 9:40 pm in reply to: Is it assur to wish a goy a “Happy New Year”? #2250798yaakov doeParticipantCatlover, even those who believe in him realize that he wasn’t born 2024 years ago. The calendar was established a while afterwards when he was deified. The more knowledgeable of his religion know that he wasn’t born in December.
yaakov doeParticipantI have as much chance as Vivek being elected President. He is the most offensive obnoxious person to ever seek the White House.
November 11, 2023 11:09 pm at 11:09 pm in reply to: Easy questions to Palestinian “supporters” #2238771yaakov doeParticipantThose ruling Taiwan are not the indigenous people. They are descendants of those who fled China when the communists too over.
yaakov doeParticipantAnd what is your point? What does Neturei Karta have to do with Jews, Iran or Morocco?? They are a unique cult based in the New York area.
yaakov doeParticipantCoffee Addict, do you think the Kushner suite is available for Shmini Atzeres? I assume Mar a Largo has the yuugest Succah in all of Florida with gold decorations. As Trump is still in Bedminster I don’t expect to see him the the Succah.
yaakov doeParticipantCan anyone explain why women are wearing these ridiculous garments?
yaakov doeParticipantTry google
yaakov doeParticipantTrump may believe that he won and is president just as there are people in the streets claiming to be Moshiach or have other delusions. That doesn’t give them authority to do as they want, they are usually ignored, laughed at or sent for psych evaluations.
yaakov doeParticipantTrump is German Xian and no Jewish ancestry at all unless the Germans are from the missins shvatim which is unlikely. The anti Semites may claim he’s a Jew like they did with Rockefeller.
yaakov doeParticipantI consider myself ‘modern orthodox” as I accept and observe all halacha but I have a secular education and work in a non Jewish environment. I wear a black hat, daven 3 times a day, hold by glatt meat and cholev Yisroel, am strict about tznius, don’t have TV or go too movies but read newspapers and interact with the world.
Everyone’s definition of “modern orthodox” differs. There is a huige difference between the teachings of Rabbi Samson Rafael Hirsch and Avi Weiss.yaakov doeParticipantI freeze cheesecakes and eat cheesecake to break a fast. I have never had too much cheesecake.
I don’t think squirrels like dairy, they prefer mezonos.yaakov doeParticipantWouldn’t the Sheva Mitzvos B’nai Noach be more appropriate?
yaakov doeParticipantLet us know how your cholunt turned out.
yaakov doeParticipantThis Kennedy running for President a kook
yaakov doeParticipantYou can get a Rolex real cheap from guys selling them on Canal Street.
April 17, 2023 9:40 pm at 9:40 pm in reply to: why is Yeshiva world news bashing trump non stop #2181796yaakov doeParticipantThey just post the news much of which isn’t very flattering to Trump who nobody thinks is an exemplarily role model for Yiddin. He has a long history of being a deadbeat, a serial liar and a serial adulterer and now he’s facing accusations and being held accountable.
yaakov doeParticipantWhy drink coke on Pesach? What’s wrong with drinking heimish seltzer as our ancestors did?
March 27, 2023 10:15 pm at 10:15 pm in reply to: Should girls wait for older sisters to get married? #2177577yaakov doeParticipantI know of a 65 year old woman who is still waiting for her 72 year old sister to marry before she starts dating.
yaakov doeParticipantOne reason that the prices seem high and there are potential shortages is the closure of the Shatzer bakery. In past years there was inexpensive matzah from the Ukraine which I doubt will be available this year. Don’t wain until erev Pesach to buy as you may be disappointed.
Here’s a link to a Satmar bakery: https://satmarmatzahbakery. com/yaakov doeParticipantI don’t consider bourbon to be a food but Scotch is one of my favorite foods. Bottles of any single malt Scotch are much appreciated as shloch manos. For the 2nd item kichel or herring will do, anything except p’tacha.
yaakov doeParticipantMy adult step children have been great.
yaakov doeParticipantThe avreich should look into suing the NY Post for defamation. Their story differs greatly from the facts and he’s a private citizen.
yaakov doeParticipantSomebody must know who Yaakov M is.
January 17, 2023 1:59 pm at 1:59 pm in reply to: Shidduchim Between Litvish Girls and Chasidish Boys #2157105yaakov doeParticipantUJM, What is the basis of your assertion that there is a shortage of girls among chassidim? Assuming the proportion of male to female births is close to 50% among all Jews, why do you think the numbers differ between chassidim and misnagdin?
Nothing wrong with this kind of intermarriage. What is the ration of boys to girls among the Sefardim, and Bucharians?yaakov doeParticipantCan anyone enlighten me as to what community standards I can violate if I become rich?
yaakov doeParticipantVisit Israel and have your dental work done there for much much less than in America.
yaakov doeParticipantMy neighbor dips a ball in honey at midnight before he bangs pots and pans. He has some unusual minhagim.
yaakov doeParticipantYankel grew up in the Mt Eden area of the Bronx and was frequently seen walking with his father. I first saw him in Brooklyn around 2000 although I assume he left the Bronx much earlier as most of the Jews did.
Although we share the same first name, he was not related.December 22, 2022 6:26 pm at 6:26 pm in reply to: Frum LinkedIn Users with He/Him or She/Her in their profile? #2150977yaakov doeParticipantBetter he him than me me me me.
yaakov doeParticipantIf mainstream kashrus agencies would give hasgacha there are always the 2nd, 3rd and 4th tier hashgachas such as the Shakey K.
yaakov doeParticipantContact with the married siblings machatonim can alert people as to how difficult they found the potential shidduch’s parents to deal with regarding the chassanah etc. I know families who wish they had been warned.
November 21, 2022 11:54 am at 11:54 am in reply to: Florida Gov. Says Judea and Samaria Are Not ‘Occupied’ #2140989yaakov doeParticipantDo you all understand what pandering is?
November 21, 2022 11:54 am at 11:54 am in reply to: BHI (No, not the Business Halacha Institute) #2140988yaakov doeParticipantHas anyone ever asked about their mesorah? Or who their great grandparents were?
November 20, 2022 7:49 pm at 7:49 pm in reply to: Can anyone recommend a mover in Flatbush? #2140860yaakov doeParticipantBakin 718-444-4869 a family owned company has moved several family members with no problems.
October 25, 2022 10:11 am at 10:11 am in reply to: Is YU officially a modern-Orthodox institution? #2132326yaakov doeParticipantAn interesting quote from one of those with an alternative lifestyle “This process violates one of our core queer Jewish values of ‘nothing about us without us,’” . Do they actually have Jewish values if they act on their passions in clear violation of what is most clearly stated in the Torah? There is no ambiguity as far as men participating in acts forbidden in Achrei Mos.
yaakov doeParticipantSmerel, where did you ever get the idea that Chuck Schumer’s wife isn’t Jewish? Iris is the daughter of
Melvin Weinshall and Ruth Weinshall of Brooklyn, parents with obviously Jewish names. There is a possibility that Ruth’s mother wasn’t Jewish, but 90 or so years ago intermarriage was a rarity.
I did not vote for Spitzer but have voted for Schumer who I’ve known since he first ran for Assembly many years ago.yaakov doeParticipantI will not vote for the intermarried Jew who has a lesbian running made. There are something I just can’t do.
yaakov doeParticipantYes, hired by Magen David as a woman. I also tried searching for news and couldn’t find anything after the story was pulled.
yaakov doeParticipantFor those who want to know I suggest you read A Lost Art Handmade Silver Kiddush Cups of Eastern Europe by Jonathan Greenstein which you can buy on Amazon
yaakov doeParticipantGot mail from Charles Tyrwitt today 3 shirts $99 with offer code JAMES
yaakov doeParticipantDaMoshe, I agree about Paul Frederick and hope the 3/$100 sale price returns someday.
September 12, 2022 9:50 pm at 9:50 pm in reply to: Can we have an adult conversation about education? #2123806yaakov doeParticipantI haven’t noticed any comments about the fact that the yeshivas take government money or the possibility that parents could possibly be charged with educational neglect for not providing a minimal secular education.
yaakov doeParticipantMy Rav told me to go to the wake rather than the funeral when I asked the shilah. The deceased was in an open coffin wearing a suit which he never did in the 20 years I knew him. He looked great!
I assume there are hetarim for a Chief Rabbi to attend a state funeral.yaakov doeParticipantakuperma, do you have vultures in your neighborhood? Bird feeders have seeds and in the winter some include suet which is some kind of animal fat. Although they are birds, I don’t think vultures are attracted to bird feeders.
yaakov doeParticipantMy next door neighbor has one and it never bothered me at all. What’s the problem with a bird feeder?
It’s not like throwing bread on the ground to feed pigeons and rats.August 30, 2022 10:22 am at 10:22 am in reply to: Thank you for your love, best wishes and prayers #2119727yaakov doeParticipantBDE
yaakov doeParticipantCuriosity, I saw videos of a surge of people with Trump flags and Trump hats breaking through barricades, attacking police officers and breaking doors and windows to enter the building but none of them being waved in. Are there different videos showing peaceful protesters being waved in? Where can I find them?
yaakov doeParticipantWhy is Trump regarded almost as a deity who is infallible by so many?
August 16, 2022 8:56 pm at 8:56 pm in reply to: The coffee room is ussor and I’m trying to make sure people chap #2115804yaakov doeParticipantHow does one determine if someone in the coffee room is a man or a woman? I assume Moish and Reb Eliezer are men but I can’t be certain that men are posting under those names.
