Since we left Egypt

Ha!
First of all, my advice is to see if a therapist, you shouldn’t get married if you think the only reason to do so is because “you have to”.
And you definitely shouldn’t get married to someone you think is ugly.

What ended up happening? It’s been 5 years.
Lame apology, and even Lamer points.
Who said it’s a frum community problem?
The minhag against groom meeting the bride, frivolous, right before the cuppah? Nonsense
The minhag of taking thousands of pictures of the groom and bride? Torah M’Sinai
Got it?

Chabadshlucha,
I think you’re misunderstanding Rabbi Millers advise.
What does it mean to respect someone?
What does it mean to engage someone?Rabbi Miller isn’t saying not to act respectfully to them. On the contrary, he tells you to do just that. Not only is he advising you to act respectfully, he’s advising you to do your part to make sure that they genuinely think and believe that your actions to them are respectful in every way.
At the same time, he’s asking that you not join their fraternity.
You are different and you should know it. Not let them know it necessarily, but you should know it.Now, the problem is that when you engage people on a daily basis their beliefs thoughts and aspirations often seep into your consciousness. As a Torah Jew, the long term effects can be devastating. So what can a Torah Jew do? (say it quickly, it rhymes!)
The answer is to look at them as if they don’t exist. Not to engage them any more than necessary. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be polite, on the contrary, its your job to make them feel comfortable. But just that. Going to workplace parties is obviously wrong. Hanging out with them outside of work is also wrong.
You have to know who you are, you have to know what you’re doing is correct, the rest of the world be damned. that’s where the asylum example comes into play.
You have a job to do, you do your job, and you leave.

Joseph, you’re starting to sound like Hillary.
He was a week candidates, so he lost. If Steve Bannon wouldn’t have been involved, we would have been in this mess.
Thank God he lost, goodbye and good luck.BaltimoreMaven
Enjoy the double taxation of Baltimore City. If I move there, it’ll be to the county.

Good point.
Did you get any complaints?Lol.
It’s your website, your rules. That was definitely the gist of my previous comment, I don’t remember my exact wording either.
It’s hard to predict what’s going to pass and what’s not.
And the censorship continues
I didn’t realize that modern Orthodox agreeing with elements of evolution is controversial.
They regularly espouse that view,
It’s been said before but don’t assume the main subject is the only basis for deletion. Don’t remember your specific post but just mentioning that sometimes it is for other reasons. – 29

Empty inside…. Sort of like a Modern Orthodox Jew. Why are you complaining? More people are joining your ranks.interjection
thanks for not answering the question. Yes or No?
PS.
EY belongs to all Jews. “if you don’t like it leave” doesnt fly here. They came first, so YOU leave.

Remember that if he’s a repeat offender BD ends up throwing him into a pit and waiting for his stomach to explodeAs others have mentioned, it seems that your wife has to be on board before you make this type of decisions. As others have also mentioned, the divorce rates should not be a factor in this decision.
Being a convert has a lot of drawbacks and difficulties, this is one of them.
Do you have a rabbi that you’re close with? Someone who knows the community? Did you convert locally or out of the country?Joseph, good point about liberal activist judges. It’s terrible, and that’s why it’s more painful when I so cold conservative does the same thing.
Since you’re a fan of his, I’m sure you know the reason why he was removed from the bench twice.
That’s the definition of an activist judgeRY
I was thinking of buying When Zaidy Was Young 3
Since it isn’t an original Kunda production I decided to do some research if it’s worth it.
Unsurprisingly there was a coffee room topic, penned by none other than, Mr interested613, noted that it had “Good impersonations, story, dialogues, songs, music.”I actually bought the album Sunday based on that thread. I got annoyed when I realize that the thread was created as an advertisement.
This is a very, very serious matter. (Obviously not as serious as the Vegas shooting, but close, a close second.)
Joseph,
As a judge you have the obligation to enforce the rules of the land.
Separation of powers is what makes America great. Don’t just don’t get to decide to create laws, just to interpret and sometimes reflect on the constitutionality of a law. That’s it.If he believes he cannot be an American judge because he’s a Christian, he shouldn’t have applied for the job
I think you should have identified yourself as a representative of the company before asking for opinions of the brand.
ubiquitin
My Ruv tried working with that model for many years, saying that the usage of a Mikva should be akin to using a siddur.
After having this policy for close to four and a half decades he finally gave up about 5 years ago.
When people were okay with dilapidated mikvahs it was feasible. People today expect a much better experience, including better towels, soap and other amenities. Besides having to rebuild the Mikvah, taking care of it and replenishing it is a costly endeavor.
I forgot the exact figures he told me, but he explained to me that simply washing and replacing the towels cost over a dollar each time someone uses it. And that’s just the towel.ubiquitin
I think Joseph’s point is that by definition, it’s not price gouging. Price gouging would only make sense as an capitalistic endeavor.
Price gouging only works with supply and demand. That’s not the case here.
Takes two
I have no idea what you’re talking about. Prices are the same throughout the year unless there’s some kind of sort of shortage or something.
Come to Brooklyn.
In places where people use the Mikva often, the mikva pays for itself throughout the year. When people use it twice a year, they expect the full facility to be waiting for them with limited use. How in the world is it supposed to support itself?Try getting into a private swimming pool. Let me know what that cost you.
I think Joseph point is a good one.
I was wondering the same. It seems that the name Joseph doesn’t link to the Joseph profile

The question isn’t if this occurred, the question is, is this something to aspire to do. Would Rav Moshe continue this practice in the 80s? After Woodstock?
I think this would be a good question to ask RD or RF, as his children, to explain their father’s thinking. If anyone on this fourm it’s close to them, I think this would be a worthwhile question.Regardless, our own Rabbi today are very against this practice. This entire conversation is important as intellectual exercise, not for actual practice.
Yekkishe practice. was to have four married couples to a circular table (withno man sat next to another’s wife and with singles deliberately mixed so that young men and women could socialize with each other.

Do you have a source for R’ Breuer’s writing?
