Are you moichel me for jesting with you?
Where’s eclipse (or Watermelon)? Monday is her big day!
TLIK: Chasidishe yeshivos or Litvishe yeshivos? There’s a huge difference. You’re correct that the Chasidishe yeshivos aren’t losing their student population in Brooklyn, but the Litvishe chadorim/mesivtas/kollelim very much are. (And from my non-authoritative understanding this is also being experienced by out-of-town Litvishe yeshivos/mesivtas.)
There is unquestionably a very notable migration of newly married couples from all over Litvishe America (as well as to a much lesser extent from outside our borders) to Lakewood and its environs, as well as a slightly less numeric, but also a notable one, of somewhat older couples with yeshiva aged children moving to Lakewood from New York and from out of town. But it is the newly marrieds coming to Lakewood from elsewhere that are the greatest contributers of the dropping Yeshiva population elsewhere where they’d of naturally otherwise had stayed and raised their young and growing families if not for moving as a couple to Lakewood to stay in Kollel there or to purchase affordable housing there (compared to unaffordable housing in Brooklyn and other large metro areas).
I’m not.
If the gentile seller owns the slave, why could he not sell him to a Jew (consent or otherwise)?
Lakewood is k’h growing by leaps and bounds every single year with the arrival of more and more Yidden from outside moving to Lakewood each year. Thus, Lakewood needs more seats for school children every year. A side effect of this dynamic is that schools outside of Lakewood are shrinking as a result of young couples and families moving out to Lakewood.
People have a tendency to view, rightfully or otherwise, the more established and older schools as more successful than the newer ones. And a school moving into town from another town is viewed, where they moved, as a newer school to those unfamiliar with the school. It takes them some years to become established and better known locally.
Didn’t we learn the ingrained habits of each nationality when they rejected the Torah? Edom (descending from Eisev) murders; the nations from Yishmael steal, etcetera.
Yekke, I only asked a question. I didn’t issue a statement.
There’s a lot of ineffective treatment in the modern world of psychology that enjoys widespread medical acceptance and usage.
GHadorah, that was the goyishe “minhag”, certainly not the yiddishe minhag.
Should we wear a white kittel when walking home from Shul every Friday night for the Shabbos seuda?
If you put a mechitza halfway through the bus, the driver’s rearview will be obstructed. Doesn’t seem safe.
On Shabbos. During the week I think you’ll find people in blue (etc.) shirts as well.
I thought it was mandatory.
The city loves citizens like you. Because you increase city revenues when you pay your sanitation summons for not complying with this.
And believe you me, those sanitation inspectors are coming to a garbage can near you.
RY23, I meant to ban them (Confederate flags and statues) on all public properties (federal, state and local — including legislatures and parks), not to ban them on private property or persons. The government is entitled to choose to not host statues of Robert Lee, King George III, Stonewall Jackson, Mussolini or Stalin as well as to choose not to host (or pictures on State flags) the flags of the Confederacy or Mexico.
mw13:
Even all things being equal, there’s absolutely no reason for Yidden to surrender to the political zeitgeist to prove ourselves to the goyim or to the feminists (Jewish or gentile).
Secondly, even were one inclined to surrender to said political zeitgeist and the loudmouths, as I elucidated above there’s very good halachic/hashkafic reasons to put men before women rather than vice versa. (Otherwise you could just as well argue against separating the seating on the bus in the first place.)
Who said these modem special ed techniques are effective and/or appropriate?
I’d also rant if forced to live in FR.
I think the Gemorah says he did kishuf or used the Shem Hameforesh to do super natural things.
What time is the eclipse happening in New York?
Did Benedict Arnold switch sides or was he a secret British spy from the beginning?
And of the 24% of the vote Clinton received in Lakewood, it can fairly be assumed a large majority came from the non-Jewish voters in Lakewood — who are the Clinton voting demographic. (In fact, it is about the same percentage of non-Jews/non-Orthodox living in Lakewood.)
So the Orthodox vote for Donald Trump is likely in the upper 90s (95+%) percentage points.
In Lakewood, Donald Trump outpolled Hillary Clinton 18,139 to 5,927 – in percentage of votes won, it was 74.3 to 24.3, his biggest margin in the state among towns with populations greater than 10,000. (Overall, Clinton won New Jersey by 13 percentage points.)
Bring down all those statues of the traitors and ban them as well as the Confederate flag.
Yes, indeed.
“Maybe I should just put on a hat?”
Not a bad idea! Putting on a hat for davening in Shul is respectful when speaking to the King of Kings.
And isn’t even that hard!
If you look at Orthodox majority voting districts in presidential elections, not just 2016 but any presidential election in the last 30 years, if you didn’t know those districts were in New York or New Jersey, you’d be sure you were looking at voting results in a deep red state in the heart of Texas or Alabama, as the results are heavily Republican.
They were right.
And they’d do it again. And if he’s the Republican candidate next time, the Orthodox will again vote for him.
I was diagnosed with Clairvoyancy by those greater than I.
Barclay’s Center is in a residential neighborhood.
See my previous comment. I addressed that question.
Halachicly there’s no absolute Halacha that men and women have to be separated altogether on pubic transportation. So why aren’t you demanding that the private Jewish buses stop the separation completely?
The answer is that it is a geder to separate them. And when it comes to issues of men and women, Halacha specifically tells us to add more gedorim in this area. And far better to have the men looking ahead at the driver for the 7 hour commute to Montreal (or three hour commute to the Catskills or two hour commute to Lakewood) than for the men to be seeing a bunch of women every time they’re looking up.
Gamanit, do you know the reason *why* the Halacha is that men are prohibited from walking behind women? The same reason could easily be applicable to sitting behind them, especially for an extended period of time.
So while I certainly won’t tell you it is an absolute prohibition, once you’re separating men and women on the bus, it makes far more halachic sense and common sense to put the men in front of the women.
I’m a clairvoyant.
“If her brothers aren’t baalei middos who is marrying her brothers? 😕”
Girls with bad middos brothers.
What about a Jew’s Eved Knani who runs away.
Didn’t Yushke do some magical stuff to attempt to prove himself and convince Yidden? (Which is why the Beis Din said he was chayiv misa.)
I know this isn’t exactly what you asked about, but thought it to possibly be tangentially related.
Yes, a Muslim, privately owned bus company, would have that right.
Secondly, your suggestion of men in back has no legal distinction (in secular law) from women in back. Furthermore, halachicly men shouldn’t be behind women.
He asked that it be deleted.
“Source?”
Look at NY Board of Elections voting results data from majority Orthodox districts in places like Boro Park, Williamsburg, Flatbush, Monsey as well as Lakewood, NJ.
Her punishment for murder is execution, so she is beheaded and will never have a shidduch.
“Joseph – yeah, that’s what I thought. ”
I’m glad we concur that all Brits sound the same. 😎
Most people, if not all, care about how their children’s middos will be. So it is prudent to research her brothers before marrying her, to insure they are baalei middos, so that your children will likely be too — as the Torah tells us.
Who cares. This is all irrelevant “palace intrigue” that means little to citizens, but gives much space for newspapers and media outlets to fill up stories so they can sell papers on slow news days.
She would have lost the popular even without just California OR New York.
But it’s interesting to note that the virtually all the voting districts that have an Orthodox Jewish majority, gave Trump a strong majority of their vote. Literally like deep red states. Even though they are surrounded by districts that voted strongly Democrat.
Syag, ma’am, my filter allows YWN, and the YWN story states, in English, that it’s a woman.
The word I used for her was based on her action and attitude (described), not her appearance.
The end of the story was that the bus driver called the police and the officers forced that woman and her male friend to leave the bus since the bus owner has the right to decide who he permits on his private bus.
Syag, someone like that who makes a public spectacle to attack tznius and Torah Judaism, and violate the bus owners principles of proprietary and modesty, is not entitled to the assumption of possessing a pintele yid within her.
