I agree with RebYidd23 that you have the record for average per year. You beat popa_bar_abba, the previous record holder for that category.
But for all time topics started by one person, there’s someone whose count is measured in four digits.
Orange juice.
No.
Meno gets it, indeed.
What is the oilem’s thoughts about those that marry someone davka who comes from a moneyed family (or is producing a good income herself) in order to enable himself to remain in learning much longer?
Unlike employers, who set a salary without regard to family size (young single guys can be paid a fortune while married guys with many children can be paid a pittance), government entitlement benefits pay more benefits the larger the family size. Thus a larger family loses more when switching from government benefits to employment than a smaller family.
DY: It’s more of an issue for families with many children, such as most of our communities and largely not so much in non-frum communities, since government social benefits are financially much more valuable to a larger family than to a smaller family.
So the head of household with many children who takes a not so high paying job loses much more social safety net benefits than a head of household with few (or no) children.
Those who used their PELL and TAP for a BTL, must realize it won’t be available for a future college.
Yes, that was the song I always heard as a child when the girls were jump roping in my neighborhood.
squeak accepted my offer to split the cookie with him taking black and I the white.
Yes, doable with father or other person as rebbi. But in real life it is exceedingly difficult to actually pull this off. And is rather rare.
“J-J Cholov Yisroel…”
Is that still the official jump rope song for girls?
9. 15%.
10. He never angers or raises his voice other than in defense against attacks on the Torah.
11. He slows down so that car can safely pass.
12. His mother insists on doing it, despite his offering to do it. He does it when she’s away.
13. Same as 12.

Jews in the State of Israel face a greater terror threat than the Jews in France. Furthermore, it has been proven from past experience of many Jews moving to Israel that the government works overtime — unfortunately successfully in the past — to shmadb them against the Torah or otherwise turn frum Jews into chilonim through pubic schooling, etcetera. Hence the rabbonim shlita (including Rav Dovid Feinstein shlita and others), led by the Satmar Rebbe, are working to avoid such a catastrophe by encouraging French Jewry to build up their Torah community in France.
There are Satmar rabbonim in Eretz Yisroel. But the Rebbe is in America.
Regarding France, to the best of my knowledge there aren’t even any Satmar Chasidim living in France. Though the Rebbes are involved in holy work for Klal Yisroel around the world, including for non-Chasidim. Satmar is renown for their chesed that they do for every Jew.
All rioters/protesters were given a legally upheld order to disperse that they refused to obey. As such by illegally remaining in the company of the violent rioters throwing gas canisters and rocks at the police, firemen and guardsmen, even if they weren’t throwing these objects at law enforcement officers their illegal presence with those violent student goons placed themselves at their own peril and they bare responsibility for the subsequent results that occurred to them when the guardsmen rightfully opened fire after a sniper starting shooting the guardsmen.
I didn’t explain it to him, I explained it to you. He didn’t explain his views at all, other than to self-describe to the category of Chareidi. But even that category, as much as he may self-identify to it, doesn’t imo correctly fit the multitude of views he’s expressed in writings. Indeed, a number of years ago Rabbi Sherer publicly criticized him from the podium of the Agudah Convention for his criticisms of Chareidi life. That wouldn’t happen if it were only an isolated, rather than continuous, criticism of Chareidim.
The Constitution doesn’t provide the right for Kent students to riot. There is no constitutional right to throwing beer bottles at police cars and breaking downtown storefronts, breaking into a bank, lighting a bonfire on the street, burning the campus ROTC building, throwing rocks at firemen and police extinguishing the fire, refusing legal (upheld) orders to disperse and instead throwing rocks and gas canisters at the National Guard, and with it all leading up to a sniper firing a gun on the guardsmen leading them to fear for their lives and rightfully return fire on the rioters.
Rabbi Adlerstein’s original multi-page Jewish Action article on frumteens is available online as a PDF. It is clearly effusive in lavishing high praise on both the frumteens site and the work and success of the rabbi behind the site in helping Jewish teenagers, via the site, in remaining frum.
Sure Rabbi Adlerstein mentions in the article that many readers of the OU magazine will greatly disagree with the sites strong position against Zionism and its criticism of Modern Orthodoxy. And after the article was published RYA felt the strong heat from the farbrente Zionist clientele of the OU magazine’s subscribers in letters to the editor that were openly bitter that RYA dared to lavish such high praise upon RYS, despite his highly admirable and undisputed success in saving Jewish lives — as documented in detail in the Jewish Action article — since RYS was outspoken in his writings against Zionism and MO leaders. And for this clientele, Zionism was the greatest form of their religion. Speaking against Zionism was heresy to them and wiped out even saving lives.
With the intensity of that heat RYA indeed wrote a letter in a following issue apologizing for not further making clear he certainly doesn’t agree with RYS’s positions on Zionism and Modem Orthodoxy and their leaders. But even then he still acknowledged the article itself was entirely accurate in describing the many young Jewish lives saved by RYS through frumteens.
Whether RYA describes himself as Chareidi, MO or anything else, even a cursory reading of his many writings in cross currents and elsewhere makes abundantly clear that his underlying hashkafas, and not just his endearment to Zionism but his overall views and take on religious events, is far closer to Modern Orthodoxy than to Chareidi. His site partner Rabbi Yaakov Menken is a bit more to RYA’s right and RYM could be better described (in his worldviews) as Chareidi-light.
Bashing the State in front of non-Jews is a Mitzvah in order to educate the non-Jewish world that the State does *not* represent Judaism or the Jewish world, as the State and Prime Minister often falsely claim to represent on the world stage.
By educating the world that the State’s position is a false narrative, we can hope to mitigate the negative reaction of the world when the State of Israel does harmful and reprehensible things, from the world blaming Israel’s badness on Jews in general, since the State of Israel falsely claims to represent world Jewry.
But all of that is aside from your demonstrably false claim that the Rov is affiliated with NK. He is not and never was.
