Joseph

Would you consider dating a Jew who was 6’11” or 4’9″ or a redhead or Buckharian or Moroccan or an out-of-towner or a city slicker or weighs 295 lb. regardless of their middos and frumkeit?

Would it matter to you how they were Jewish, i.e. a Satmar chosid, Modern Orthodox, Lubavitch, Brisk?

Would it make no difference to you whether you marry someone FFB versus a BT?

Do we have a winner for ??????

Flatbusher, there are frequently machlokes’ what the halacha is, with some shittas saying one way and other shittas saying the other way. Sometimes it is a difference between Sephardim and Ashkenazim (i.e. Shulchan Aruch and Rema) and other times there are differences even within Sephardim or Ashkenazim. And different communities may hold differently from each other. It’s been like this since the era of the Tanaaim.

mw13, google: Download Rabbi Moshe Sherer to Rabbi Moshe D. Tendler (18 November 1991)-1

Choose the first pdf. And read the contents of that letter on Agudah stationary from Rabbi Sherer. Rabbi Sherer references the other letter and events.

That SIL isn’t reliable regarding Rav Moshe. He’s on the record as citing Rav Moshe for things that turned out to be patently not correct. There’s even a letter from Rav Moshe Sherer calling out numerous instances, both during Rav Moshe’s lifetime and afterwards, when he distorted the view of Rav Moshe. Rabbi Sherer confronted him in Rav Moshe’s presence about one such instance when he had deceived NYS legislators about Rav Moshe’s view, after which Rav Moshe had a letter written on MTJ’s letterhead informing the legislator that his view was the opposite of what his SIL claimed.

Is there a Yeshiva in the world that will refuse entry to a child because the parents can’t pay tuition, if refusing entry will result in the child attending public school?

Lubavitch has farbrengen.

Avi: How do dayanim take more than minimum wage?

And don’t forget to chap shrayim.

The fish is delish and gebentched!

Neville, kindly let us know, please, specifically which US frum communities “have to worry about your kids being stabbed”.

Sam: The TC/P you speak of are MO? The link nisht provided was of Rav Pam saying the no mishing minhag must be respected and is legitimate. And Rav Pam offered a reason for the Minhag.

Every few blocks until the end of the zman.

theprof1: Does that minhag mean he could eat on chol hamoed Pesach at his daati neighbor’s house or only at another member of the gerrer kehila (who generally keeps the same set of chumros as he does based on the kehila and rebbe’s minhagim)?

Avi: Chacham Ovadia is on the record as supporting the pullout. He is not on any record as later regretting his original position. In either event, at most regretting it would demonstrate he believes giving land didn’t bring peace in that instance. It would not reverse his fundamental position that if peace can be achieved by giving up sovereignty of the land then it is halachicly mandatory to give up sovereignty to preserve Jewish lives.

And the halachic position that it is halachicly mandatory to give up sovereignty to preserve Jewish lives is the position of the Gedolei Yisroel across streams, Sephardic and Ashkenazic. Rav Shach explicit stated land for peace is “permitted and necessary to compromise on even half of the Land of Israel”.

And the Brisker Rov recently stated that if the zionist government continues in its efforts to make it untenable for Bnei Yeshiva to devote themselves to Limud Torah, it may be necessary and required for the Bnei Torah to move out of Eretz Yisroel in order to continue their Torah studies.

In summation, it appears there are minhagim of waiting one hour, three hours, effectively five hours and six hours.

Those were the goyim. The Yidden voted for Cruz. See my above comment.

I mean what does the 5.5 into the 6th mean? They start eating milichigs 5.5 hours after the last bite of fleishigs? Who has this minhag?

Mostly because they’re not Yirei Shamayim.

I think DY posted previously on another thread that there is an active legitimate minhag, even today, of waiting only one hour. Dutch minhag, if I recall?

Primaries have a write-in option. In 1928, Herbert Hoover won the Republican Massachusetts presidential primary on write-ins. In 1940, Franklin Roosevelt won the Democratic New Jersey presidential primary with write-ins. In 1960, Richard Nixon won the Republican Massachusetts presidential primary with write-ins. Ralph Nader ran a write-in campaign in 1992 during the New Hampshire primary for the presidential nomination of both the Democratic and Republican parties.
