ZG; Miriam has einekelech, kenayna hora.
Learning Torah makes one the happiest possible.
WB Lightbrite.
The Rambam rules that not only the kingship, but rather every position of authority and all appointees of Israel are inherited to a son and to a son’s son, forever. The Ginas Veradim quotes an anecdote of how the rabbinate in Tzefas was passed on by inheritance to a son who was under bar mitzvah when Rav Shlomo Alkabetz ordered the community to wait for the young boy to come of age, and when the son turned thirteen he took over his father’s position! The Shulchan Aruch bases a ruling on the same halachah, this time in connection with the local cantor, who retains the right to bring in his son as an assistant and groom him for taking over his position (Orach Chaim 53:25).
In Yoreh Deah (245:22), the Rema states that somebody who serves as the rabbi of a city cannot be ousted from his standing even if somebody greater than him comes to town. Even his son and his son’s son, forever, take precedence over others. In Orach Chaim 13 the Chasam Sofer writes that he upheld the ruling of Rema that the son inherits his father’s rabbinical position and another Chasam Sofer (Choshen Mishpat 21) also implies this. The Kesav Sofer (the Chasam Sofer’s son, Yoreh Deah 123) confirms that his father implemented the Rema’s ruling in all Hungarian rabbinates that the son inherits the rabbanus. The Mishna Berura (53:83) cites both opinions.
GHD: Was that Rabbi mocking their pronunciation specifically or was it more him taking issue with a subset of them regarding their speed of davening, slurring words, etc?
RD: Because the mitzvah for women is to support the learning of their husband and sons. They come to celebrate for their husbands and sons who they supported their Limud Torah of.
Doing English only is an undercover way of rejecting French and Israeli Jews who don’t know English. Where’s the French and Ivrit?
Skipping Yiddish rejects the Yiddish speakers who represent about half of American Orthodoxy.
The Teimanim have the closest to how we had it by the Beis HaMikdash.
Southerner: Did you used to post here about 10 years ago under another screen name and once had a Mishpacha article written about you?
How many people do you think never missed a day in over 7 years?
Old story.
Yabia: That half the Sefardic population converted to Catholicism doesn’t give you pause?
Yabia: Because 50% of the sephardim converted to Christianity in Spain and Portugal. So their bad apples became Catholic whereas the Askenazic bad apples became Reform.
Anyone using the ™ symbol is copying you?
Avi Weiss and the rest of the Open “Orthodox”are much worse than even the Reform reshoyim.
Hating NK is no different than hating, say, the Sefardim since they have different views than you.
Welcome back JayMatt!
GHD: The learning cycle wasn’t seasonally timed. Each new cycle begins exactly when the previous cycle ended.
What are the lowest cost tickets still available?
LOT – Ruby Schron and Donald Trump are longtime business associates.
Did Rav Yisroel Reisman attend? He was initially reported to be scheduled to give the bracha.
CTL – Somewhat of a sidepoint to your comment, but most frum American Jews live in, what you called, the ghettos.
I assume they used their sushi money for this event. So they’ll be spending less on sushi, steak, entertainment and vacationing for the next six months rather than less on tzedaka.
Charlie is a diehard fundamentalist militant Democrat. So forgive him for his intentional gross inaccuracies and misrepresentations.
CTR – if there wasn’t any Yiddish, Citifield would be more more capacity than necessary and MetLife would be overkill.
So y’all love George Soros, Avi Weiss, Bugsy Siegel, Cardinal Jean Lustiger, etc?
CTR – The ninth siyum was 30 years before this one.
Hillary gave strong indications a few hours ago that she may jump into the 2020 Democrat primary for president.
Also, the former governor of Massachusetts may join the race.
Syag – why do you say not?
Breaking: The witch a few moments ago said she’s being pressured by many many people to run again for president.
Syag – they fit right in. His answer equally applies to any former frum person.
DY – It says V’ahavta L’Reacha Kamocha. So it is limited to those who fall within the proper definition of reacha.
Just go to Alcoholics Anonymous. The principles are the same at any of these Anonymous places.
What are the lowest cost seats still available?
Who do you have in mind when davening V’Lamalshinim?
Zion, sweety, did you have a bad dream again? Your last nightmare was that I was the fellow writing in the TV Vues.
Chazal didn’t tell us Shemone Esrei L’Chuppa just for kicks.
Torah is stronger than any snow.
We’re heard good arguments in favor of sending boys to Eretz Yisroel, i.e. the learning is on a higher level than in America etc. Some may agree and some may disagree.
But we haven’t heard any arguments why to send girls to EY rather than domestic Seminary, other than Israel is more fun and exciting. Is there anything more than that or is that basically why everyone who sends girls to Israel does so rather than locally?
Joseph isn’t Satmar; but what’s that have anything to do with this discussion?
Emes, how does a girl from the US grow in Eretz Yisroel for a year more than in America? (Without using vague concepts, please be specific.)
Satmar,I believe, was in Hungary for many hundreds of years prior to World War ONE.
Worst for Jews: Franklin Roosevelt, Carter and Clinton.
Best for Jews: Trump and Washington.
Someone added my number as a text recipient on a GroupMe group. Someone later I downloaded the app and converted my receiving/sending from regular text to the official app. Once I was using the app I was able to add someone else even though I am not an admin (and don’t see anyone listed as an admin.)
Emes: HOW do “children get the most out of this time period in ERETZ YISRAEL”?
GroupMe groups don’t have an admin?
Yes. The earlier the better.
WB, AZOI.IS
DY, do you work at a Yeshiva?
AJ: (to continue my other comment…) Unless you’re excluding non-violent property crimes in those figures. About wo crimes a month in a city of over eight million citizens, including two million Jews, seems rather very low. Many other cities with a much lower population, and an even lower proportion of Jews as part of the population, have higher crime figures. NYC has the lowest crime figures of any big city in the United States, per the FBI crime statistics.
AJ: Those numbers are mostly things like a punk graffiti spraying a swastika on a car, street or building overnight. IOW, in large part stuff like non-violent property defacements that are counted as anti-Semitic hate crimes.
Phillip, please take your blood pressure med. It’s dangerously high.
