The basis of what they’re investigating is a joke.
When (and why) did they change their name to to the Jewish Vues?
The Trump haters have snapped. After 3 and half years of attempting to oust Trump beginning the morning after the election, before he was even in office, utilizing Obama era appointees in the FBI and throughout the government using police and government forces for political means, together with a concerted media efforts to defame and lie about The Donald, ranging from a failed impeachment attempt to a fake impeachment that blew up in their faces, they’ve finally snapped and cracked under the unexpected coronavirus pandemic that made all their previous attempts all but forgotten.
So until age 6 it isn’t maaser, since its your duty. After age 6 it is maaser, since you’re not required to give that support.
or Macy’s bridal registry?
Drugs costs mega millions to develop. That includes the costs for attempting drug solutions that ultimately fail after costing millions to try. That too needs to be recouped when pricing successful drug solutions to cover the costs for previous failed attempts.
Rabbi Greenspan: Thank You. I agree with you here as well as other posts you’ve made such as regarding Israel’s memorial day holiday.
The Yeshivos and Beis Yaakov’s are NOT CLOSED. They are still teaching remotely. The teachers are working and being paid for that. The parents still must pay tuition.
common: All of what above?
Gadol: A person who is scheduled to be married is not supposed to delay his marriage.
YW29: It’s agreed that a) it was submitted and b) it was an official letter from Agudas Yisroel by Rav Moshe Sherrer zt’l to Tendler. If not for the length, why else wasn’t it posted?
Yesterday a major hospital in New York announced it is launching a clinical trial based on Dr. Vladimir Zelenko’s treatment. St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn is launching a study using Zelenko’s cocktail.
L’maaisa, are most American chasanim and kallahs who got engaged prior to corona and already had a wedding date going through and getting married? Or are a large number postponing their wedding, hoping that they’ll be able to make a bigger event after corona starts fading and things return closer to how thing were previously?
Secondly, are engagements being postponed in the hope of a later wedding will result in a bigger wedding?
Not nearly as much.
Cash presents are an important source of financial stability for & young couple
Where’d you ever get that idea??
shtumpa: The treatment is still being administered in very many hospitals all over NY and the US.
justsaying001: How about shiurim given by phone now, with everyone muted, due to the coronavirus preventing it being given in person in shul, as they were previously given.
For the same reason you might have any of the same conversations you have in this online coffee room as you would have with friends and family in your living room, lunch room, conference room or at the restaurant.
There’s no significant difference whenever you had the same conversation here or in real life.
The Yeshivos and seminaries in Eretz Yisroel would be following the same general policies on this matter as the Yeshivos and seminaries in America and the UK.
There’s no reason it would be any different based on where they’re located.
One per person. You may request an additional one for each member of your household.
I presume these will be cloth masks, not medical masks.
What percent of KJ residents are patients of Dr. Zelenko?
asy: The first citation was by the chief zionist rabbi appointed by the state government where even the non-Jewish and religious-hating members of the Kenesset get to vote on who is their state’s chief rabbi. The second citation was from an unknown source with an unidentified author.
The same reasons the rabbonim oppose Yom Hashoah applies to Yom Hazikoron. In fact the reasons the rabbonim oppose Yom Hatzmaut also applies to Yom Hazikoron, as Yom Hazikoron was originally the same date as Yom Hatzmaut but was specifically moved to one day earlier by the rasha Ben-Gurion to keep Yom Hazikoron directly associated with Yom Hatzmaut.
Milhouse, my comment posted momentarily prior to your own addresses the discussion regarding the date. Additional to the above, the same significant problems you referenced regarding Yom Hashoah that the Rabbonim protested essentially apply to Yom HaZikaron as well.
I’ve been thanked a number of times for expressing points that others recognized as correct but were either inarticulate to express or too bashful to post (possibly concerned about being on the aggressive end of leftist respondents.)
Other times some folks said I convinced them to my side of the argument, where before they had the opposite opinion.
DM: I’ll need to know the identity of the author in order to respond. So far this is a thinly sourced story of unknown veracity. Given that, even if there’s some שׁורשׁ of truth, it may be considerably divergent than presented.
Either way, as Milhouse proffered the suggestion of honoring people who protect Jews certainly isn’t remarkable; normally that indeed would be highly commendable. The reason why many gedolim are on the record opposing any commemoration of any Israeli state organs, including Tzahal, is because of the heretical nature of the state. That’s before even getting to Tzahal’s particular longtime reputation of plentiful unchastity in their mixed gender barracks.
Additionally, even the story of RSZA as quoted in no way shape or form indicates an endorsement of “Yom HaZikaron” or suggests that they be honored more on Yom haZikaron than any other day of the year. AIY’s suggestion that the date was chosen due to Kfar Etzion doesn’t bear historical accuracy. The Israeli Kenesset’s website says this holiday was originally the same day as Yom Ha’atzmaut (independence day) but military families wanted their own day so it was changed by Ben-Gurion to be “marked one day before Independence Day, emphasizing and symbolizing the connection between the fallen and their devotion, and with the establishment of the State of Israel.” (Quote from Israeli Kenesset website.)
So the date of Yom HaZikaron itself was chosen to be directly associated with the establishment of the Zionist State; not for any noble reasons or yahrtzeits. Additionally, even though it isn’t the case but hypothetically if it had been selected to commemorate a particular battle where soldiers were lost, that the date was selected by heretics over any other date that also has yahrtzeits would still afford their selected date no significance in Judaism or for Jews.
shebbesonian: As I mentioned twice above, a Zionist source won’t suffice. If the story is accurate, why is the only source coming from Zionists rather than from RSZA’s own Seforim, Yeshiva, Talmidim or his Chareidi community.
Every time there’s been a recession over the last 60 years we’ve heard those with a more leftward view smirking and saying “the Kollel system is now over.” We’ll continue hearing that refrain from those same circles for the next 60 years.
That said, the Kollel system over the last 60 years has certainly improved the spiritual welfare of Klal Yisroel. It has been a tremendous tremendous benefit that outweighs whatever faults one might find in it.
Oh, AIY founda story on a bunch of internet websites so it must be true. And now he googled another story which must be true to.
After all, it’s on the internet! And maybe a Zionist book too.
Before I entertain responding to or explaining what this or that Rov allegedly said or did you’ll have to provide a maare makom more than “it’s on the internet” and our Zionist literature taught us this.
<ewm>Is that correct?
AIY: No, it isn’t correct. What’s your maare makom (aside from a Zionist book) for whatever you’re claiming about Rav Shlomo Zalman zt’l?
Check out Sweden, No broad lockdowns. And they’re doing comparatively better than New York. They’re aiming for getting herd immunity. They’re mainly sequestering only the elderly and vulnerable; not everyone.
Dina D’malchusa primarily relates to the relationship between a Yid and his local government, such as in matters of taxation; and not in matters between a Yid and another Yid.
Milhouse: Regarding this thread in particular, I’m sure you’d agree that the artificial day cited in the OP that was created by apikorsum is no more relevant to any honoring than any other day of the year.
Milhouse: The reason you enumerate would be even more applicable regarding American Jews honoring American soldiers than the soldiers of any other country.
Coffee Addict:
1) Limud Torah. Which also applies to Yeshivos.
And that’s just one example. There’s others as well.
Do you oppose opening Yeshivos? Do you similarly oppose opening other essential services permitted by the government?
2) You absolutely have no idea what the meaning of davening b’tzibbur is.
AJ: Agreed. The OP has a habit of trolling his Zionism here even though he knows this is a Chareidi forum.
Ubiquitin: How’s sitting in a doctor’s waiting room with other patients waiting to see a doctor more essential than sitting in shul beseeching the Creator of the world?
Israeli Druze and Israeli Arabs are foreigners.
British Jewish soldiers and French Jewish soldiers are my brothers.
Reb Eliezer, I said specifically not to modify the scenario described. If your Rov paskened, with all the information on hand from the doctor, that you must fast, would you disregard him?
Coffee Addict, do people who eat treif die from doing so? If not, is therefore eating kosher food not essential?
Bad, bad answer, coffee addict. Shuls aren’t essential?!?!
As an American I honor American soldiers. Why would I honor foreign soldiers from a foreign country?
Despite being American, I don’t remember you making a similar thread on Memorial Day for American soldiers.
Someone remind me the logic of why supermarkets and parks (both sometimes packed as evidenced by recent photos) are okay to remain open but shuls are not.
Excellent, Chaim B.
Reb Eliezer, please advise specifically in the above described scenario whether you’d follow or disregard the Mattersdorfer’s (or your posek’s) order.
Reb Eliezer, which “individual” are you referring to?
My question to you is if your doctor said to eat on Yom Kippur and then your Posek/Rov (let’s say the Mattersdorfer Rov, if that’s your Rosh Yeshiva) paskens, after hearing your doctor’s order including all the reasons behind it, that you are not permitted to eat on Yom Kippur. Would you follow your doctor’s orders or your conflicting Posek’s order?
Reb Eliezer, I still eagerly await your response to my above question to you (as I asked it without modifying the circumstances in the question.)
Vizhnitz philosophy consists of three things:
Torah, Avoda and Gemilas Chasodim.
too geshmak: It is correct that those rabbonim that advocate davening b’yechidus are certainly not left-wing and are advancing an honest halachic position that is equal in seriousness and earnestness as the other rabbonim who advocate socially distant minyanim such as porch minyanim. All that goes without saying.
But the tipshim individuals who publish editorials against those rabbonim who permit minyanim because their left-wing boich doesn’t like it and think they are qualified to pick and choose which set of rabbonim are right and wrong, is who I was referring to. Only them.
Mrs. Plony: Those are American cellular service providers. Check their websites.
Reb Eliezer, if your doctor told you to eat on that Yom Kippur but the Mattersdorfer Rov zt’l, after hearing what your doctor told you and everything behind it, told you to fast on that Yom Kippur, would you comply with your doctor or would you comply with your Rosh Yeshiva?
Misty: The idea of sending tinokos shel beis rabban to public school if they’ll constitutes 6:1 majority against the Goyim is the most dangerous and ludicrous suggestion so far (with the notable exception of huju’s anti-Torah idea of stopping to have more children.)
Would you let your children eat food if the non poisonous portion of the food supply was 6:1? Or, better yet, would you send your children to a school where children from Neo-Nazi families were “only” 1 in 6 classmates?
