JosephParticipant
It sounds like the best job ever.
JosephParticipantLB, I believe lot112 meant that there isn’t a *single* minhag for all of NY.
JosephParticipantHe said he’ll still move it but is only delaying the timing of the move.
What’s the big deal? Even if it stays in Tel Aviv, who cares.
JosephParticipantYehuda, how many did you adopt and were they each done at separate times? Do you have a mix of adoptees and birth children?
JosephParticipantChildren need their mothers; not babysitters and not day care.
June 2, 2017 12:36 am at 12:36 am in reply to: Anti Zionist demonstration planned in Barclays Center #1288834JosephParticipantI knocked out that comment by zd regarding them being powerless. See earlier.
That article by Rav Schechter is on the button and on target. More need not be said.
JosephParticipantAvrom, as long as you realize it is a compromise/unfortunate that the wife has to work outside of the home, and it isn’t the ideal, then you might be okay doing so.
JosephParticipantWhat could possibly be wrong with pocketwatches? Those are what men always carried when women wore wristwatches for centuries.
May 30, 2017 1:24 pm at 1:24 pm in reply to: Anti Zionist demonstration planned in Barclays Center #1288446JosephParticipantLook, HaGaon HaRav Aharon Schechter shlita, the Satmar Rebbe shlita, Rav Elya Ber Wachtfogel shlita and many other gedolei rabbonim shlita are personally exerting themselves to attend this Asifa. That speaks for itself. No one other than someone on an elevated level as a bal plugta to them has the chutzpah to level disagreement with their holy work on behalf of Klal Yisroel.
May 30, 2017 1:01 pm at 1:01 pm in reply to: Adopted non-Jewish babies who elected to remain non-Jewish after Bar Mitzvah age #1288442JosephParticipantIt’s a machlokes as to whether it happened or not. But even according to those that it didn’t occur, it is agreed that the concept is an important one.
JosephParticipantI haven’t seen gavra in a while.
May 30, 2017 10:55 am at 10:55 am in reply to: Anti Zionist demonstration planned in Barclays Center #1288393JosephParticipant“Is it?”
It’s a demonstration against the draft and against the Zionist State that enacted it.
JosephParticipantA mamzer can marry another mamzer. But, as said, the concern might be about not knowing who an adopted Jewish many cannot marry since you don’t know who his/her family is.
JosephParticipantA wife and mother should be stay-at-home. Women don’t belong out in the wide world.
May 30, 2017 10:05 am at 10:05 am in reply to: Adopted non-Jewish babies who elected to remain non-Jewish after Bar Mitzvah age #1288381JosephParticipantEven a ben sorer umoreh?
May 30, 2017 8:32 am at 8:32 am in reply to: Adopted non-Jewish babies who elected to remain non-Jewish after Bar Mitzvah age #1288353JosephParticipantYehuda, what did the frum parents do when their adopted child chose to remain a goy when he became 13 (i.e. continue keeping him in their home, etc.)?
JosephParticipantOomis1105 last posted four months and three weeks ago.
May 29, 2017 11:13 pm at 11:13 pm in reply to: Adopted non-Jewish babies who elected to remain non-Jewish after Bar Mitzvah age #1288288JosephParticipantHalachicly a goy is less trusted in a yichud situation, so it’s more of a problem.
May 29, 2017 11:11 pm at 11:11 pm in reply to: Adopted non-Jewish babies who elected to remain non-Jewish after Bar Mitzvah age #1288290JosephParticipantZD: In both the scenarios you mentioned, halachicly he is not considered to be that child’s father. Even though he biologically is.
May 29, 2017 10:13 pm at 10:13 pm in reply to: They Tried to Kill Us, They Won (somewhat), Let’s Eat #1288265JosephParticipantHow could I not notice after our conversations from nine years ago.
Have you served in Iraq or Afghanistan?
May 29, 2017 10:09 pm at 10:09 pm in reply to: Adopted non-Jewish babies who elected to remain non-Jewish after Bar Mitzvah age #1288262JosephParticipantYou have very many problems having a live in goy in your home, sharing in your meals and lodging.
Yayin nesech and yichud are just two to start.
May 29, 2017 10:08 pm at 10:08 pm in reply to: Adopted non-Jewish babies who elected to remain non-Jewish after Bar Mitzvah age #1288261JosephParticipantLilmod, if the family isn’t frum, there’s no way for the adopted child to become Jewish even if he wanted to – since he clearly isn’t being mekabel the taryag mitzvos.
May 29, 2017 8:31 pm at 8:31 pm in reply to: Adopted non-Jewish babies who elected to remain non-Jewish after Bar Mitzvah age #1288216JosephParticipantHe continues to raise a 13 year old non-Jewish child, in his Jewish home, until the non-Jewish kid becomes a legal adult?
May 29, 2017 8:31 pm at 8:31 pm in reply to: Adopted non-Jewish babies who elected to remain non-Jewish after Bar Mitzvah age #1288215JosephParticipantWhere does that leave the Jewish parent when his adopted child elects to be a goy? He’s the parent of a goy?
JosephParticipantYehuda, I think the scenario LC was referring to was when the adopted Jewish child is ready to marry, there’s a problem being sure he/she isn’t engaged to a birth sibling or other forbidden marriage partner.
JosephParticipantHealth, you could adopt a yiddishe kindd as an infant.
May 29, 2017 8:13 pm at 8:13 pm in reply to: They Tried to Kill Us, They Won (somewhat), Let’s Eat #1288208JosephParticipantWelcome back, Chaim! It’s been a very long time.
May 29, 2017 7:51 pm at 7:51 pm in reply to: They Tried to Kill Us, They Won (somewhat), Let’s Eat #1288191JosephParticipantOr as much sense as them using their “god”‘s name as a curse word.
JosephParticipantSo the maskama here is he who would allow his wife to wear “tznius” pants, may himself wear a “men’s” wristwatch? π
JosephParticipant“Remember the Old Timers?”
I wish I was around when these greats frequented here!
JosephParticipant“Does the definition of beged ish/ishah not change with popular practice?”
In that case you might similarly argue just as men started wearing wristwatches, women started wearing pants.
Are both those changes equally acceptable?
May 29, 2017 3:47 pm at 3:47 pm in reply to: They Tried to Kill Us, They Won (somewhat), Let’s Eat #1287918JosephParticipantGoyishe kup.
JosephParticipantThe difference is shoes were always worn by men, whereas wristwatch for centuries were almost exclusively worn by women.
May 29, 2017 1:51 pm at 1:51 pm in reply to: Anti Zionist demonstration planned in Barclays Center #1287629JosephParticipantThe Satmar Rebbe attends alongside Rav Aharon Schechter and Rav Elya Ber Wachtfogel.
May 29, 2017 12:13 pm at 12:13 pm in reply to: Anti Zionist demonstration planned in Barclays Center #1287598JosephParticipantThe Brisker Rov zt’l was very close to Rav Amram Blau zt’l, founder of Neteurei Karta.
JosephParticipantHalacha gives clear priority to the mother’s life over an unborn fetus. Birth is considered once the head comes out of the womb. Once the baby’s head is out, the mother’s life no longer takes precedence if only one can be saved.
JosephParticipantHe isn’t merely “a poishete Rabbiβ. He is “HaRav.”
JosephParticipant… you give a pshetl.
JosephParticipantHealth: How’s bringing up goyishe children preferable to bringing up yiddishe kinder?
JosephParticipantHalachicly, the biological parents are always the child’s parents and continue to have parental rights.
JosephParticipant… you become bar or bas mitzvah.
JosephParticipantDaven to Hashem for pain relief.
JosephParticipant… you get married.
JosephParticipantEven a “not the most” suitable adoptive parents are many times better if the alternative is abortion.
JosephParticipantYY: If you send me a Rolex I could answer your question most accurately. π
To answer your question, no, a Rolex isn’t jewelry (in the halachic sense.)
May 27, 2017 10:20 pm at 10:20 pm in reply to: Anti Zionist demonstration planned in Barclays Center #1286397JosephParticipantDorah: No one advocated that “everyone gets a draft derferral”. Only those who learn Torah. Since most men in Israel, unfortunately, don’t learn Torah – they can join the army.
May 26, 2017 5:50 pm at 5:50 pm in reply to: Anti Zionist demonstration planned in Barclays Center #1286366JosephParticipantzd “Cancer and Car Accidents are not issues just related to Yiddishkeit.”
Abusers and thieves are not issues just related to Yiddishkeit.
JosephParticipantmentsch – that’s very inspirational.
May 26, 2017 1:09 pm at 1:09 pm in reply to: Anti Zionist demonstration planned in Barclays Center #1286315JosephParticipantAre they also powerless against cancer, car accidents, the common cold, bank robberies, poverty and mental disorders?
May 26, 2017 12:16 pm at 12:16 pm in reply to: Anti Zionist demonstration planned in Barclays Center #1286301JosephParticipantThe Asifa will be on Sunday, 17 Sivan/June 11, at the Barclays Center.
Rabbonim attending include, among others, HaGaon HaRav Aharon Schechter shlita, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivas Rabbeinu Chaim Berlin and HaGaon HaRav Elya Ber Wachtfogel, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva Gedolah Zichron Moshe of South Fallsburg.
