    No one will ever forget what they were doing the moment they heard the Zos Chanukah neis two years ago of the completely unexpected very early release of the Tzadik Rav Sholom Mordechai Rubadhkin.

    Zos Chanukah is a day full of nissim.

    No one will ever forget the neis of Zos Chanukah just two years say with the tzadik Reb Sholom Mordechai.

    It was very clear that Obama was far far worse than Trump, any way you slice and dice it. So unless you opposed Obama you’d have no grounds to oppose Trump.

    Reb Eliezer, it’s a machlokes haposkim regarding the timing. But Rav Ovadia zt’l isn’t authoritative on this inyan. See the other thread (titled: “Nittel”) that I bumped and see the the second and third (or fourth) posts.

    It’s become more of an issue over the last 11 years, especially since the advent of the smartphone which barely even existed when the OP posted. And he was correct even then when very very few people had smartphones, that was barely introduced a year before.

    Avi, that Gemora is only speaking if he’s physically on your personal property (and even then it has severe limitations not permitting mesira and isn’t necessarily applicable altogether.)

    In this case where the car is on PUBLIC PROPERTY, not your private property, that Gemora is completely inapplicable. And it is certainly mesira.

    Everyone learned as a child that the Seforim Hakedoshim say that any mispronounced word in Tefila causes a deformed malach to be created that testifies against you acher meah v’esrim shana. Whereas correctly said Tefilos results in good malachim created that testify on your behalf.

    Reb Eliezer: You make an interesting point regarding the Aruch Hashulchan and hair covering. The Aruch Hashulchan strongly denounces and decries the terrible machla of married women not covering their hair and says it must stop. Then he says since it is prevalent in some places therefore you can krias shma in front of her if you don’t look at her.

    To take your example to this discussion, perhaps a small degree of immunity is obtained, but nevertheless it is very very wrong and must be stopped.

    “If the husband tries to claim that his wife stole the money from him, I doubt they will be married much longer.”

    Interjection: The husband can be mochel her and not wish to (or even agree to if she wanted to) divorce her. She may have made an error in judgement and not realized in advance that her husband objects to spending his money on whatever it was.

    GHD: Actually a father gifting something to his married daughter is one of the few receipts of monetary value a married woman maintains in her possession rather than it instantly automatically becoming the property of her husband. Another example of such an exception is property she owned prior to marriage. But even in that latter example, whereas she still retains ownership of the underlying properties that she owned prior to marriage, any income generated from those properties (i.e. rent) automatically belongs to her husband. Any actual income she receives, for example from her employment, belongs to her husband.

    Milhouse: Looking at a standard tenoyim, I don’t see that phrase. Are you looking at a Chasidishe tenoyim (I think they’re different) or Litvish one or a Sefardic one? In any event, even if that term was inserted into a tenoyim, I fail to see how a tenoyim changes the Halachic default monetary obligations of a married couple for a lifetime. A tenoyim?

    Reb Eliezer: That’s only the case if the wife explicitly said איני נזונת ואיני עושה. And then it applies from that time forward but not retroactively. But in any event she had to have made that explicit statement; by halachic default that is never effective or assumed regardless of her income status. And as a practical reality, very very few wives (even high earners) say איני נזונת ואיני עושה.

    DY: Note that the title of this discussion refers to a “substantial sale”; that obviously refers to something “outside of their normal spending patterns”. Given that, the burden of proof would be on the merchant, considering that the money he was paid was rendered to him by a person other than the owner of said funds.

    If Reuven goes to Shimon and purchases a Yacht with Levi’s money, when Levi comes demanding Shimon return to him the money Reuven gave him, he will have to do so unless Shimon can prove Reuven acted with Levi’s authorization. This high burden will be on the merchant’s shoulders.

    And by the way, some shittos say even if the dollar figure in the transaction that the wife spent was a very nominal amount the merchant still bears the high burden of proof.

    A very large portion of the Russian “olim” are gentiles with some Jewish ancestry on their paternal side. Many (but not all; many others among them didn’t bother to) of these Russian gentiles in Israel underwent a fake “conversion” by the Zionist rabbanut that justified it in the name of “nationalism” even though they openly acknowledged that these Russian so-called converts never intended to keep a single Shabbos, before the Mikva water dried off them, or to ever stop fressing the Russian delicacy of bacon.

    As a result of a Beis Din, notably headed by Av Beis Din Dayan Avrohom Sherman who is Daati Leumi and was a visiting scholar at YU, ruled that all those thousands of so-called “converts” never were halachicly converted and all remain gentiles.

    As such, these non-Jewish Russians are a perfect fit for the Reform movement, which itself conducts phony conversions and recognizes paternal descent.

    iac, why do the old timers need to see the flag “bump” given that, as you point out, it is easy to tell as the replies are date stamped? Unless what you’re really trying to hint is that the old timers might not have yet put on their reading glasses or more ominously their mental acumen is not what it used to be.

    It usually indicates a level of desperation for frum people to move there.

    The reality is that the NY metro area not only has the largest concentration of Yidden in America, North America and the world, it actually has more frum Yidden (between NYC, Monsey, Lakewood and their surrounding areas) than ALL the rest of the United States and Canada combined.

    Make up your mind — do you want to deport illegal aliens together with their families in order to avoid family separation? Or do you want to deport illegal aliens without their US citizen children, thereby causing family separation? Those are the choices. Either way the illegal aliens must be deported. The illegal aliens should be given a choice whether they want to be detained and deported together with their family or separate.
