Do you want to pay commission or a flat fee?
They moved into the new building in 1995 (previously having rented space in the Shulamis building on Avenue M), so whatever it was has been 25 years since demolishment.
Add your bug report to the New Bug thread. YWN programmers are working overtime getting the bugs ironed out.
Just propose to him and rent a hall.
Avram, there’s absolutely nothing disrespectful nor out of context in pointing out that the Torah and Shulchan Aruch tell us we must hit our children when necessary to discipline them. Period. If one wishes to make the argument that today’s generation needs to be dealt with using kid’s gloves, and thus physical discipline is verboten, fine – state the case effectively. But don’t be dismissive of when someone points out what clearly and unambiguously is told to us by the Torah and Halacha. And was practiced throughout Jewish history uncontroversially.
I never used the term “libs” (neither here nor elsewhere), so you’re confusing me with someone else or with your imagination, Avram. What I said was pure Torah and it was said because it is pure Torah. If you have a “hard time” with something the best course of action is to request help not sputter falsehoods.
You’ve been vaporized! 😉
Undoubtedly most of the time it is assur to hit our children. That doesn’t change the fact that sometimes we are required to hit our children.
Wearing a tichel outside or inside is very very far from being comparable to going around with a bathrobe.
Has this discussion of unconditional love broached the fact that the Torah, directly, and Shulchan Aruch, al pi halacha, tell us we are required to hit our children?
If a sheitel is designed to make you look better, why are you wearing it outside the home to look good for street people, which you shouldn’t be going out of your way to do, rather than wearing inside your home to look good for your husband, as you’re supposed to.
What’s the issue some shittas have with Chabad mikvas that they hold it isn’t kosher?
The biggest win for religious rights would be the right to refuse to serve the IDF.
Use Chrome as your browser.
I believe Norton Internet Security includes Norton Antivirus. Norton is excellent as long as the subscription is active.
In addition to the two excellent programs iac mentioned, make sure you have an antivirus installed. If you don’t, Avast is an excellent free download. (Decline their offer for the non-free version and decline any trial offers.)
If a child shmadded or intermarried, the halacha is to sit shiva for him.
Rav Shlomo Zalman personally attended protest against the draft.
No one justified the little kid who kicked her. But the rest of the protesters are probably justified after she did what happened before the clip started.
If inducted to civil service, they’ll be a fifth column from within the system.
Only one little kid made any physical contact with her (by kicking.) Obviously he shouldn’t have due to negia. But as far as the rest of what’s happening, the video doesn’t show what she did before this clip starts.
That all could be true. I was merely pointing out the numerical reality. There are a notably larger proportion of older single never-married girls than older single never-married boys.
M, of course. That’s why mothers are called the Akeres Habayis. Traditionally the mother would be home all day, putting the kids on the bus, there for them when they came off the bus, cook and feed them their meals and obviously be with the children longer than her husband who is working all day.
That’s a feature of family life, not a bug.
(I don’t think we’re disagreeing, I’m just nitpicking with some of your descriptive verbiage.)
M, your complaints don’t make poorer fathers. What you enumerated is generally part of the duties and job description of being a wife/mother. So the wives being better at those aspects you listed (dialer changing, food/clothing shopping, waking up for crying babies, etc.) is obviously to be expected in as much as it’s generally expected for the husband to be better than his wife at handiwork, moving furniture, being a breadwinner, learning Gemora, etc. Your comment seemingly assumes being a husband has the same duties as being a wife.
My comment (which holds true) was not specifically referring to age differences.
A woman’s primary role is generally defined by her being a wife and mother whereas a husband’s primary role is generally not defined by his being a husband and father.
Supply and demand gives men the upper hand in shidduchim.
BYLiberal: Because men and women are different and have very different roles in life.
WB streekgeek!
Bug fixes.
M29, why are you uncertain or reluctant to say I’m right? Is your impression that my above understanding is too far?
Ner Yisroel permits high school bochorim to come with smartphones?
If you invite there’s an obligation to attend.
When you’re 25 (for example), a guy who’s 15 years older than you is still young, but when you’re 45 (for example), a guy who’s 15 years older than you is very old…
A third problem is simply that 60 is old and 45 isn’t, and most 45 year old girls don’t want to marry someone old.
Lilmod, Why is it less of an issue for a 25 year old to marry a 40 year old than for a 45 year old to marry a 60 year old? When the 25 year old becomes 45, her husband will also be 60.
The whole “מכין אותו” allowance is only to enforce the commandment before it’s breached.
Yekke, so how did you apply the halacha you’re referencing in your earlier suggestion that she potentially could be hit to stop her, considering she already breached the halacha.
I’m assuming your answer is that her breach is ongoing so it is still applicable.
Mazal Tov, SIDI!
How would beis din give a woman malkus?
I suppose he could do it with a tool so he wouldn’t have to touch her.
Yekke, you can’t hit (or use lethal force) if a lesser rebuke will work. So, of course, I’d yell if that might work.
As far as the stronger options, if halacha permits it and the secular authorities won’t intervene against it (you aren’t required to surrender your freedom to enforce it), then of course they should be used if the lesser options didn’t work.
Where Rubashkin’s is based has a frum community.
WTP, what would you do, if anything, were you to c’v find your neighbor’s kid using drugs?
If you won’t get problems from the secular authorities for that, then sure.
I’d yell out, loudly to drown out his voice, “loshon hora!”, so no one else could hear it. If it was just me there, I’d stuff my ears or run out.
The above point is both a bein adam lamokom and a bein adan lchaveiro perspective. But to take the bein adan lchaveiro point further, if you knew someone in the community who was investing other people’s life savings was conducting a ponzi scheme, would you do nothing? You’d probably intervene to save hundreds more of people from losing their money. And if someone violating tznius is costing thousands of people olam haboh with their lifnei iver, you’re going to do nothing to stop it?
Okay, so I used the wrong word. (I only used it once, btw.) But if you saw your neighbor’s kid smoking drugs, or with needles or whatever, would you ignore it and do nothing and notify no one because “it’s none of my business”?
If damaging one’s body (which we have temporarily) warrants intervention, so much more so when damaging one’s neshama (which we have permanently) and olam haboh demands it.
