I respect Sephardim for their strong Kavod HaRav and unquestioning deference to their Rabbis.
You see that isn’t true by the simple fact that the mere discussion of ND”K got you all bent out of shape. There clearly was no misinterpretation or misapplication of Chazal’s concept. If there was anyone can happily point out specifically which comment they think misinterpreted Chazal’s application of ND”K, Yet no one has because there is nothing to point out. There was nothing here than a vanilla discussion of this Chazal when you got all angry and agitated for no reason other than your not liking to hear of this Chazal. Of course you’re embarrassed to admit that you don’t agree with the Chazal so you instead go after the messenger with nebulous factually lacking tantrums vacant of any argument.
I again invite you or anyone to actually quote any comment of mine and point out what exactly you disagree of its interpretation of the Chazal and explain how you understand that Gemorah. But we all know in advance that you won’t do this because you can’t do this because nothing I said is anything more than a mere citation of the plain Chazal. It is the Chazal itself, despite your assertions otherwise, that you disagree with. But the invitation still stands.
Then you rant about sinas chinum in the very same comment that you go on to make ad hominem personal attacks. As anyone can notice, none of my comments contained any such element. It is only the antagonists that engaged in such behavior.
Bruriah: Kiddushin 80b – מ”ט תנא דבי אליהו הואיל ונשים דעתן קלות עליהן
It’s quite notable that certain folks get bent out of shape simply over a discussion of a Chazal. You may not like this Chazal but it is still Chazal.
Today we’re spoiled brats.
” I assure you I’m not part of any militia.”
If you’re registered with the Selective Service you certainly are.
They go where the largest frum communities are. Starts with Brooklyn, then Monsey, Lakewood, Five Towns, etc. Baltimore doesn’t rank. There are other larger frum communities that come before them.
bk613: Others have already answered the sun/earth rotation issue.
Anything Chazal say always was, is and will remain 100% Emes.
Nashim Da’atan Kalos is as true today as it was in the time of Chazal. To attempt to claim that Chazal made a mistake or even trying to reinterpret Chazal to something other than its original meaning how the meforshim explain it is simply apikorsus.
The Constitution of the United States states: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
As such, so long as it is well regulated, the militia is fully legal.
“That goes against the story with bruriah”
But it’s politically more expedient and correct to reinterpret it differently than Chazal, Rishonim and Achronim to better fit the 21st century Western model and sensibilities.
Do it for “kiruv”.
“Both are involved in advocacy.”
Antifa is also involved in advocacy.
Why are some folks uncomfortable acknowledging this Chazal or its truthfulness?
Considering the hakaros hatov Yidden should give President Donald Trump, it is a shanda they don’t share that Jewish pulse in their articles.
OU is stricter in the US than in Israel.
Did you know that in Europe, even today, very few people have air conditioning in their homes? Even in rich Germany only 2% of homes have air conditioning.
Left.
Grilling down to the alleged justification of overlooking (even if not facilitating with an open parking lot) congregants driving to shul on Shabbos by saying it keeps them Jewishly engaged, that defense is absurd and unacceptable as the rabbi is clearly encouraging actively violating Shabbos and Torah law.
Encouraging trashing of Jewish Law to supposedly keep them “engaged” is completely unjustified and kneged halacha.
And is exactly what the Conservative movement was condemned for when they first started permitting driving to their “synagogues” on Shabbos.
If all Jews keep the same Shabbos one week, Moshiach will come.
OU is the flagship Modern Orthodox group.
whitecar: Avi Weiss, leader and founder of OO, leads an OU synagogue in Riverdale that has women “rabbis”/”rabbas”. Walnut Street Synagogue is another OU synagogue with a woman “rabbi”. So does the OU’s B’nai David-Judea Congregation. As does the OU’s Congregation Netivot Shalom in Teaneck. And OU member congregation Ohev Sholom in Washington.
All the above are dual OU and OO affiliated. Get the gist? Those are some examples. Even the headquarters of the Women Rabbis’ seminary is based in an OU congregation.
Some OU synagogues have open parking lots on Shabbos and their rabbis are Open Orthodox affiliated.
Syag, no idea what you’re ranting about. All I commented was on Sosha’s comment immediately above mine where he put it behind succinctly and correctly.
Sosha said it best.
And what are parents who are dirt poor and cannot afford to pay any yeshiva’s tuition, are unable to raise the funds, and work hours or ability preclude home schooling, supposed to do?
Send their Yiddishe kinderlach to free public school?
We all know how Jewish children turn out after public school.
Most Yeshivas are part of a kehila, community, etc. Not for-profit business enterprises.
AJ: You’re wrong. Yeshivas receive donations from benefactors who have no children in the Yeshiva.
Your last sentence is exactly the attitude I wrote against in my last comment. Every Yiddishe child must be accepted by a Yeshiva. EVEN if the child’s parents are dirt poor and cannot pay a penny and cannot raise sufficient funds.
Let’s see: The goyim make sure every child gets into a school, irregardless of the parents income or ability to pay, The parents have zero income and pay zero in taxes — no worry, all their children get into school for free. The parents are illegal aliens and don’t even belong in the country? Still no problem, their children get a free education in school even though their parents pay zip.
But some “yeshivos” throw out Yiddishe kinder into the street or into public school because their parents can’t afford to pay? Even if their parents can afford to pay a dime!
So who is better — the pruste goyim or the administrators of those “yeshivos” that throw Yiddishe kinder into the street because their parents are poor?
Pennsylvania Dutch is a dialect of German.
Amil: Do you reckon it might end up with a Mazal Tov?
Mammelle: Children in these new home schooling associations will be losing millions in government educational benefits such as transportation, special ed (P3, CYAT, OT, PT, etc.), textbooks, etc.
GHD: That’s like mixing milk and meat. Or mixing non-treif with treif. Or mixing J4J with plain ‘ole Jews.
Amil, the frum (and even the very frum) don’t differentiate before dark or after dark, regarding this, any more than the non-frum. Unless, perhaps, the darkness is a hindrance to the couple’s being seen whereas that isn’t the case in daytime.
Motchah’s point was to not try to push people into waiting to get married (even for the reason you cited.)
That’s the elephant in the room.
That’s what you get with off the shelf software.
Mods, it is generally a better idea to post your opinions as a comment of your own rather than editing it into someone else’s. Even if it is a good answer.
I agree
Yes.
Anil: What are you implying about referring to after dark?
Welcome back mdd!
Living in Israel today has the same status as far as Judaism and Halacha, as well as the status of the government, as living in Palestine under the British and Ottomans.
Dovid: One must check with the PC Police to know what the currently correct terminology is and which terms are forbidden.
yytz: Actually he was supposed to say “a man” but forgot the “a” and only said “man”. NASA originally claimed the “a” got cut off in the radio transmission but later acknowledged he didn’t say it.
YY: Why didn’t you get a police report where he must give a statement to the officers at the scene?
A person of color is whatever the leftists currently define as a protected minority against the evil majority.
It is forbidden to even enter a Conservative or Reform temple.
Syag, do I appear in your dreams? Or do I keep you up at night?
