You mean like practicing Christians whose great-great-grandmother was a Jew who converted to another religion?
CTL, “The most important thing about family money and financial background is that you and your eventual bride should not come from a very different socio-economic background.”
Is that a suggestion that money should marry money?
Why are you taking an internet “news” outlet at face value?
The vast majority of frum working baalei battim got married before they had a career or higher education set.

The kallah’s family giving the chasan a dowry is an age old Jewish minhag.
When they started on 12th Avenue in 1902, their name indeed was Congregation Beth El of Borough Park. But by time they built their current building on 15th Avenue in 1920, their name, as inscribed on the building itself, became Temple Beth El of Borough Park. After they merged with Young Israel of Borough Park in the 1980s, they changed their name to Young Israel Beth El of Borough Park.
“Should Director Comey have been fired?”
The President of the United States can fire the Director of the FBI for any or no reason at all. The Director legally serves at the pleasure of the President.
Since he no longer pleasured the President, he was correctly fired.
“What do you think Trumpβs real motivations were in firing him?”
He was a loose cannon who unpredictably did what he wanted. President Trump is also like that. But Pres. Trump doesn’t like anyone like that to work for him.
“Will all of this help or hurt Trump?”
It will blow over in a couple of weeks as the next rattle the President does takes over the news cycle.
Signing a military pact with Russia. War with North Korea. You’ll forget Comey faster than last week’s news.
18 months before the next election is equal to more than three political lifetimes.

Which godol hador dressed in color shirts and jeans?
Men stop wearing black in the summer?
What do you have against policemen?
Right. But he won’t wear a yellow hat or other attire if that attire is not what identifies one as part of the yeshiva crowd.
Why should both a l’chaim *and* vort *ever* be necessary?
How was the arbitration agreement with BD Maysharim legally cancelled?
Why don’t you want to give a Get (assuming your wife separated and refuses reconciliation)?
You initiated the case at BD of A and your wife agreed to accept your choice of that BD? Why’d you choose BDA? What makes you think they’re better than Maysharim?
How long ago did your wife become religious? Why haven’t you become religious? Are your kids religious?
What’s your end goal?
Does R. Yair Hoffman retract?
Some people don’t get why people wear a shirt over their undershirt when it’s hot.
In the previous eras as well as the current era, hats were part of men’s uniform.
What makes you assume that black tights/winter non-black summer are the correct uniform in the system?
The Chofetz Chaim was known and called as such during his lifetime.
Hygiene is important to all Jews. So how is mentioning that halachicly relevant?
Okay, I remember that. But that isn’t an ERA and that was merely a cosmetic change that changed nothing legally from a practical point since women were already considered covered even without “her”.
DeHaan didn’t invite a media spectacle and bring cameras to publicize his necessary interaction with the galach. Nor did he put on a shtreimal l’kovod the Vatican and bring a yiddishe band to joyously sing arichas yomim for the galach.
You know many Yidden will only use water to wash their hands on Shabbos, correct?
Probably watered down liquid soap.
I didn’t say any halacha in this thread. I simply answered a question as to what I use to wash my hands on Shabbos with.
Check out Tello. Put in $10 that never expires (as long as you make one call every six months) and pay 3 cents a minute with no requirement to add more funds (2 cents/text). Use your same Sprint phones. Or they have a $15 plan for unlimited calls.
It’s okay DaasYochid. I still love you.
Or perhaps DY is still upset that RingPlus folded.
DaasYochid is still in proving mode to demonstrate he’s not my Rashi. π€
Why must you mention that hygiene is important to you? Is it not important to every Jew? So how will mentioning that be relevant to the psak?

Which part of the answer did you fail to understand as accurately responding to the question asked?
Absolutely incorrect.
Water.
Err, Constitution. (Autocorrect.)
Where does the NYS Condition have an ERA?
Ask the person you spoke l”h about for mechila.
Vindication is sweet, isn’t it.
You mean that until Obama became president higher sodium and less whole grain was okay? And Nanny Obama saved our children’s health?
Are you suggesting that the only school in town draw a hard line and “not accommodate” local Jewish children whose parent is, say, unemployed or under-employed and simply cannot pay the minimum tuition no matter how hard you squeeze them since the money simply doesn’t exist, thus forcing the frum yiddishe kinder of those mishpachas to the local non-Jewish public school to grow up with daily nivel peh, retzicha, giluy aroyos, drugs, crime and avoda zora so that they eventually become frei themselves?
Rav Elchonon Wasserman zt’l hy’d wrote a letter, which the ksav yad is publicly available today, stating it was better for the talmidei hayeshiva to stay in Europe and face a possible physical death rather than go to America under the auspices of YU where they would face a possible spiritual death.
