To signup for GV you need to use an existing US number to verify and signup from within the US or use a US IP address.
GV can dial international numbers for calling but cannot forward calls or texts to non -US numbers.
Google Voice only gives US numbers. Winnie is in Israel.
If a US number is okay, you indeed can get the SMS texts to your Gmail.
US number to US number only.
Most do not use cellphones either.
The main difference is two feet versus four feet.

Those are the off- the – derech Amish.
In places like Kiryas Yoel, New Square, Meah Shearim, etc., they do a wonderful job keeping the children sheltered.
Bais Rochel is a wonderful school.
The US national interest is to maintain friendly relations with the Saudis. As it happens, today Israel also has behind the scenes cooperation and relations with the Saudi government/ military.
Many of the Heimish are doing very good too.
Which yeshivos are horrible?
President Trump’s visit to Israel is the earliest any President in U.S. history visited Israel in their presidency. Obama didn’t visit Israel altogether in his first term. Obama did visit Egypt within months of becoming president.
And Pres. Trump is the first sitting President in U.S. history to visit the Kosel in Yerushalayim.
Israel is third world.
You remember the story in the Gemora of the Amora in middle of shemone esrei when the king greeted him?
Goyim eat meat for breakfast.
Making a loud brocha isn’t only for when there’s a Yid within earshot to say Amen.
You’re wrong. We certainly need to shelter our children from all the easily accessible trash from the street. They shouldn’t know much about mature material.
If it is a for profit entity we can generally eliminate it being tzedaka eligible. If it is non profit there’s a much stronger likelihood of it being tzedaka eligible.
Yes and Yes.
That is not accurate regarding Rav Shach.
The Chazon Ish even said Tachanun even if there was a bris in his shul on you ha’atzmut, even though normally he wouldn’t when there’s a bris.
Swiss is good. Never heard of the other narishkeiten.
Yingelech or maidelech?
City farm boy?
That’s all I’m advocating. We should all adhere to the Mishna Brura.
I couldn’t agree with you more.
Marriage is no joke.
This is far from the first massive US weapons sale to the Saudis.
Are US arms sales to Egypt any worse?
Halachically, first cousins are permitted to marry each other, hence they have all the regular Dinei Rrvah and then some. Even HaEzer Siman chuf-beis states that relatives have the din of “Libo Gas Bo”, meaning there are some hateiri of Yichud that while applicable in most cases are not applicable for cousins, who have more restrictions than normal. Shulchan Aruch (E.H. 22:8) and the Aruch Hashulchan (E.H. 22:6) present examples of a man and a woman who grew up together or are related – such as cousins.
Yes, the Chasidim and Litvaks wear their full Yiddushe levush to work, whether a black hat every day, shtreimal on chol hamoed, bekeshe/lange rekel every day, etc. and make their brochos normally without being embarrassed to do so.
I’m not suggesting that you violate the rules of the library or wherever you are if they have a rule against loud talking. Then go outside and say you tefilos at your full kavana and loudness in public without being embarrassed.
Many people hold by the Arizal and don’t shave or take haircuts for all 49 days of the Omer. Others hold otherwise and shave quicker than a full 49 days.
No one’s forcing anyone to marry their first cousin and no one’s stopping anyone from marrying their first cousin.
They author of that quote has a long history of saying things against the Torah.
Marrying first cousins is very far from being uncommon in very many frum communities. Many great rabbonim, both today and yesteryear, are themselves married to their first cousin.
And the Sanhedrin when they were around, in fact, did stone for the crimes the Torah says to. And Teimanim, even today, have multiple wives.
Why should you be embarrassed to proudly and openly act like a Yid In public and wear your Judaism on your sleeve??
Your mom’s incorrect about the English quoted being incorrect. Her suggestion is also correct and may have made the understanding easier, but the original post is linguistically correct as well.
Do we still have any country boys around?
That’s factually incorrect. The frum communities with the lowest marriage age averages also have the lowest divorce rates.
And very many Yidden have been happily and successfully marrying their first cousins from the time of Har Sinai through the current times of golus America.
In very religious Jewish circles the reality is that those who married youngest have some of the lowest divorce rates. Especially compared to those who married after completing a higher education.
Which in-laws?
Some of the finest families I know are with parents who married by 18 or 19.
YY – annihilation as in organizing their mass murderer?
