“Punkt the segment of Klal Yisroel which has the disparity issue.”
Only a subset of that segment has the disparity.
“The present chachomim don’t want to rescind the ban to “solve” the shidduch crisis”
That’s merely your speculation about their motivation for not having acted yet.
“only to make a much worse sholom bayis crisis.”
That’s your opinion. (Remember, even if enacted it would still only be done by a small minority of families; and they will be selective in who chooses to, and is able to, do so.)
Everything you’re saying about this, you could’ve equally have claimed about the crazy idea of pushing for closer in age shidduchim before the Gedolim came out in support of that initiative.
Only part of Klal Yisroel’s chachomim forbid it. And even that ban was time limited. Just as it was later extended by Ashkenazic chachomim, our chachomim can discontinue the ban.
Hashem allows Klal Yisroel to marry two (or more) wives. That’s Hashem’s solution to the shidduch crisis.
Lincoln wasn’t the cause of the Civil War.
Anecdotal evidence strongly indicates a correlation of those who are technology non-savy/little users are much less affected by the shidduch crisis and get married much quicker.
I’m writing you in, CTL. I’m moving to the CTL compound just to be an eligible voter there.
LC, who said anything about not. All I asked anon1m0us was a question.
Crying to Hashem.
anon1m0us, would you be as happy if your daughter/sister married a Bucharian Jew as you would be if she married an American Jew?
I believe the OP meant does she put on top of the letter “Motzei Shabbos Parshas Bereishus” or put “Motzei Shabbos Parshas Noach”, for example.
They have an Israel reporter. Shabbos ends there before it ends in New York.
Doing teshuva.
Did you think it is only coincidence that I share a name with the magazine?
The Chazon Ish.

“it is doubtful that most people without it are followers of those gedolim.”
And you know this, how? Why are you assuming that most of them are followers of Gedolim who support it?
“Other than that, nearly everyone is supportive of life insurance.”
You took a survey of Gedolim?
Machlokes. You have great Gedolim on both sides.
Lilmod, I was referring to chayiv/onesh in Olam Hazeh, not Olom Haba. A gentile is chayiv misa even if he did something completely b’shogeg.
I don’t think a donation is mandatory anywhere.
I very much agree with you.
Do you see a difference between indecent exposure of an adult women versus an infant baby?
I’m looking for the maare makom. I was going off memory. There certainly are sources that men bzman hazeh should not shower after the Mikva.
That would make him twenty-eight-teen now.
What is slither?
How can anyone answer this without knowing what your needs and usage for the device is?
Can you explain in what sense you mean it doesn’t have to be serious?
Nursing in public without covering themselves is gaining in popularity in the perverse mores of secular society and the liberal politicians who serve these degenerates.
Which Dovid B. Kaplan?
Best advice: Marriage is like jumping into a cold pool on a hot summer day. Don’t be afraid; jump in and you’ll be happy you did.
Worst advice: The pool is too cold; stay out for awhile.
More from Rav Schwab:
“And now we address ourselves to our chaveirim bedeah, our achim bemitzvos of the Rabbinical Council of America. Ad masai? How long do you want to remain a branch, without becoming part of the tree? . . . We say to our achim b’mitzvos, “have Rachmonus with yourselves, and lemaan Hashem, part company with those who have given obscene semichah to to’evah clergymen” . . . Have rachmonus with yourselves, and break off your professional relationship with those who, for instance, consider Yishu HaNotzri merely a failed moshiach . . .We implore you . . . to part company with those gravediggers of Torah. I know it is a painful subject but it is unavoidable . . . We call on you to join us, the true Modern Orthodoxy [Rav Schwab is referring to previous statements of his that MO is today outdated and “anything but modern”], which is a generation of sincere mevakshei Hashem”.

Absolute equality is not a necessity for a democracy.
I think this question is best answered by the Rov who led the Kehila of Torah Im Derech Eretz in America. Who can be a better authority than he. That, of course, is HaGaon HaRav Shimon Schwab ZT”L, Rav of the Torah Im Derech Eretz Congregation Adas Jeshurun in Washington Heights, the congregation started by TIDE founder HaGaon HaRav Samson Raphael Hirsch ZT’L:
“However, in addition to the legitimate shitos we have discussed, there is yet another, more modern version in vogue called “Torah Umaada”. Apparently this is identical with Torah Im Derech Eretz, especially since both claim a belief in the priority of Torah over maada. Both seems exactly alike, but like two left gloves which cannot be worn together, they don’t fit! . . .
“Rav Hirsch ZT’L has inscribed two emblems on his banner. One is Torah Im Derech Eretz and the other is the so-called “Austritt”, which means severance, or total and non-recognition of any type of institutionalized heresy, “minus” or apikursus. This is also a resolution not to contribute, participate in, or support any cause which accords validity to the disbelief in Hashem or to the denial of the authenticity of Torah shebiksav or Torah shebaal peh. In other words, “Austritt” states that the Torah is our sovereign ruler, and it makes us independent of all those who deny its Divine origin…
“To summarize, Torah im derech eretz without Austritt is considered treif l’chol hadeios! Even if you call it Torah Umaada.”(Selected Essays pp.160-162)
Avram, yes, more exposure is what’s being referred to. I didn’t think it needed to be spelled out.
Halacha says something about this. That should be your starting, and ending, point.
Journalism is a dirty profession. Many of the lowest of society are purveyors of this trade.
And allow me to note, despite her preferring I not, that I fully agree with Syag Lchochma. (Hopefully this won’t preclude others from agreeing with Syag.)
Avram, we’re taking here about the small minority of women who in-your-face do nurse in public. Not the common sense majority (including non-Jewish) that will seek a private area — and in the absence of that availability coupled with the absolute unavoidable necessity of nursing without waiting until in a more private venue, will ensure steps to hide their nursing.
The former is clearly worse than a short-sleeved woman. Just as a woman in public in swimwear is worse than a short-sleeved woman. Even though both are offensive to public morality there are surely some more severe violations than others.
Avram, someone not infected with the perverse mores of secular society would consider a woman in a short sleeve shirt in public as severely worse than a woman publicly nursing in the open?
