Reb Eliezer, right. So a woman putting on Tefillin is less of a problem than a woman learning Torah Shebal Peh.
Reb Eliezer, she also gets rewarded for putting on Tefillin.
Yaakov also married two sisters. Would you encourage that as well?
The original system was never that boys and girls mingled. We always had mechitzas separating the genders. This how it was always done in Europe as well as in the Sephardic countries.
The American leniencies breaching our mesira that existed in prewar America and continued for a time in postwar America has properly been discarded and corrected in the decades after many European gedolim came to America after WWII.
Random: Yes, that comment was for you. Also read the comment answering you from “It is Time for Truth” addressing tiflus in response to your point.
Do you disagree with Chazal and Halacha?
Women’s Schar Torah comes by their helping their husband and sons go learn Torah.
Why don’t you suggest that they make a bar, with the bartender serving beverages, for the boys and girls to hang out together with each other after the chuppa?
Reb Eliezer: Please share with us the reason Chazal and Halacha strongly admonish fathers not to have their daughters taught Torah Shebal Peh.
Quote from Hagaon HaRav Moshe Feinstein:
“There are people who maintain that Talmidei Chachomim are not qualified to decide political matters, that Gedolei Yisroel should limit themselves to Torah and Halacha. Such people cannot be considered within the Torah camp. One might well say ignoring the advice of a Talmid Chochom is far worse than violating a commandment. One who violates a commandment because he is too weak to resist temptation, at least knows that his action is wrong. By contrast, one who ignores the advice of a Talmid Chochom denies that a Torah scholar’s wisdom is superior. This is a far more serious breach.”
(Reb Moshe, p. 123)

Many things originally from Yidden were stolen by foreign religions, mistakenly leading some to think that Yidden took it from the goyim.
Tiflus.
Guys and girls should not be meeting prior to first researching whether it is a potentially appropriate match. Once boy/girl meets infatuation can take over logic that prior research would’ve indicated makes it an inappropriate shidduch for any number of reasons.
Tiflus
It is quite common that the ultimate wrench in the mechanism gets used. It’s called “I want shalom bayis”. It forces the hands of the dayanim to “give it one more try”. A common excuse for a m’again is “I don’t want to divorce, I want to work on the marriage”. And because of the halachos of gett me’usah, the beis din is limited in what it can do. To be fair, there are as many women who refuse to take a gett, using similar excuses.
TLIK: Your characterization in this part of your comment is absolutely incorrect. Declaring a desire for Shalom Bayis, even if the other spouse is adamantly insisting on divorce, can and often is legitimate and sincerely desired.
Indeed the Torah, needless to say, is absolutely correct in extending this right to the husband; and Rabbeinu Gershom is correct in further extending this right to wives, where she previously hadn’t had the right Al Pi Torah, to insist on Shalom Bayis. Your opinion would indicate a belief on your part that Rabbeinu Gershom was mistaken in making the insistence of Shalom Bayis, despite the husband’s insistence on divorcing, a right for wives to veto their husband’s wish to divorce. Not to mention disagreement with the same Torah right husband’s have to veto a wife’s request for divorce.
Play chess.
The US doesn’t need the State of Israel’s political or military support.
I know MO bungalow colonies with mixed swimming. Does that make it right?
TLIK: It’s happened a few times already and is widely known as of now such as any husband in a contentious gittin dispute should be well aware of the risk prior to traveling to Israel that the zionist rabbanut there can be utilized to prevent their departure back home.
That being said, there’s a well known case from a number of years ago where the rabbanut prevented an American husband from returning to the US for that reason and he got the US State Department involved and the State Department forced Israel to release the American who was only being held over a religious gittin dispute that transpired in the US with his American wife, none of them having any permanent connection to the State of Israel.
It’s a Mitzvah to park in front of an illegal curb cut as by doing so you’re making available an extra parking spot for the rabbim.
The new front page layout style is a big mess.
1 – you think there should be no Siyum altogether so that the yeshivos don’t end early?
Haimy: Who said there’s a Chiyuv to give a Get? Generally there isn’t; a husband is under no halachic obligation to give a Get if he wants to remain married.
That said, where’s the outcry against all the Moredes’? Of that, unlike m’agnim, there are many. That’s where the real pressure, intolerance and lack of silence needs to be directed.
Haley is an also-run. Yesterday’s news.
DY: Yaakov many 3 on the street in front of the driveway. But it is only illegal for someone other than the homeowner.
I can ask Rabbi Zweibel directly, if need be.
She’s not his Mashgiach.
Only a moderator can make the change if the topic is more than (about) half an hour old.
Any day they made it would cause Yeshivos to lose time. What difference which day as far as that point is concerned.
Many driveways aren’t legal driveways.
Random: Were you able to make it through those few difficult days with no coffee room?
This one understands.

How do you look cold over a video feed?
How do you know Rubadhkin isn’t Moshiach?
No, at the end of Shmiras HaLashon (Hilchos Rechilus 9:15), the Chofetz Chaim writes that the prohibitions against Lashon Hara and Rechilus do not apply to reshaim and kofrim and that it is, in fact, a mitzvah to mock such persons:
“מצוה לפרסם דעתם הכוזבת לעיני הכל ולגנותם, כדי שלא ילמדו ממעשיהם הרעים.”
“It is a mitzvah to make their false opinions public before all, and shame them so that others do not learn from their evil deeds.”
“החפץ חיים בהלכות לשון הרע כלל ח’ סעיף ה’ – אומר: “אותם האנשים שמכירם שיש בהם אפיקורסות מצווה לגנותם ולבזותם בין בפניהם ובין שלא בפניהם”.
ובהמשך- “אפיקורוס נקרא הכופר בתורה… ואפילו הוא אומר כל התורה כולה מן השמים חוץ מפסוק אחד…”
Do you disagree with the Chofetz Chaim or before we should ignore this Chofetz Chaim?
How much does Dirshu change for a ticket?
Chalk up another will for the Torah. No inclement weather.
There was an option to post anonymously without logging in for a brief period lasting a few weeks about two or three years ago.
Trump scared the kishkas out of the Arab terrorists. They’re even scared of rioting in reaction to him, since they know his counter-reaction will be even worse for them than what they want to riot about.
Bernie/AOC 2020 is the Republican’s dream opposition ticket.
The current Chief Rabbi of England is much worse that his immediate predecessor, who himself proffered apikorsus in his published book.
