What is the approximate amount of tuition these days in Brooklyn and Lakewood?
If the parent doesn’t have money to pay off the balance in the beginning of the year and is refused an admission card, the child will either be embarrassed when the school embarrasses him on the first day for not having a card or alternatively by him not having a school to go to.
AJ: Are you positing it is only permissible to post a negative review when the item is unquestionably and unambiguously defective, misrepresented and misidentified merchandise and the merchant fails to make good on it?
Whether you like the Halacha or whether your hate the Halacha or whether you don’t give a hoot about Halacha, the fact of the matter is that Halacha prohibits a negative public review of a Shomer Torah merchant OR of a product made by a Shomer Torah u’Mitzvos.
Period.
It is halachicly prohibited to post negative reviews about a Shomer Torah u’Mitzvos merchant.
Manitou: That’s one out of hundreds or thousands over 2,000 years.
KY: The grocery will not make a loud announcement that other customers will become privy to.
It’s also July 4th holiday weekend traffic today.
“As for the gedolim who never lived here, they have a different cheshbon. because of their communal duties.”
Those Gedolim never told their kehilos and adherents to move to Eretz Yisroel.
Even had the language of that “contract” been binding it would only have been a violation to make the first copy (and even then only be the original purchaser). Additional copies (or copies by someone other than the purchaser) wouldn’t violate any contract.
Mr. Mod: HaRav Aharon Leib Shteinman said people shave because they’re ignorant of the halachos against it.
ואומר רבינו: “כי מה שנהגו פעם בישיבות לגלח, כי לא היה ידוע האיסור” (פרי חיים ממרן הרב שטיינמן שליט”א, שופר ארגון להפצת יהדות, צוות שופר גנזי המלך, כו תמוז תשע”ב).
I said people used to wear Shatnes because they were ignorant of the halachos against it.
Follow the parallel?
Avi: Belarusian and Ruthenian are two different ethnic groups. The Ruthenians are based mostly on the border area of Ukraine, Hungary and Slovakia.
Where does it say in Shulchan Aruch that there’s such a thing in Halacha as non-tangible intellectual property?
If you quote a contemporary posek saying so and I quote a contemporary posek saying fakert, will you similarly say just as you follow a posek that permits shaving therefore by my quoting gedolei poskim forbidding shaving is not binding on you, on the same token if you don’t copy per your posek you’re okay with my copying per my posek?
Phil: See my above citation of Maran HaGaon HaRav Aharon Leib Shteinman. What he said about shaving is effectively the exact equivalent to my current comparison of shaving to the old state of Shatnes in Orthodox Jewry.
your calling it a comparison does not make it so…just sayin’
NP: Kindly quote any comment of mine anywhere on the thread stating what you falsely attributed to be.
Bibi Netanyahu is no better than Ehud Barak. If a better deal can be achieved with the left, then that’s a better outcome than a right-wing government.
The Zionist State isn’t a Jewish state.
BB: In that case Sephardim would have to stop learning Rashi and Tosfos.
It isn’t a Jewish state.
“To tell me that you hold it’s not permitted Is highly hashkafically questionable.”
He’s not telling you that’s what he holds. He’s telling you that’s what numerous Poskei HaDor hold.
It’s ancient.
There’s nothing more Jewish about the Israeli right than the Israeli left.
The OP is well stated and makes excellent points.
Please summarize here his main point.
3) The following response by Rav Aharon Leib Shteinman, zt’l to the “argument” that the students of the Litvishe Yeshivos of yesteryear used to shave their beards, was recently publicized (in a kuntres with a haskama from Rav Chaim Kanievsky):
ואומר רבינו: “כי מה שנהגו פעם בישיבות לגלח, כי לא היה ידוע האיסור” (פרי חיים ממרן הרב שטיינמן שליט”א, שופר ארגון להפצת יהדות, צוות שופר גנזי המלך, כו תמוז תשע”ב).
“The reason it was once common for yeshiva bochurim to shave is because the issur involved was not widely known.”
Rav Aharon Leib Shteinman zt’l is giving the same reason, as I explained, why many frum Yidden used to not keep Shatnes, that many from Yidden aren’t keeping the Halacha regarding shaving.
I’m in good company with Rav Aharon Leib Shteinman zt’l.
How do any translators do it? Whether live at United Nations speeches for all the world representatives speaking different languages or when world leaders are speaking up each other in different languages, often in public, or any other number of examples.
Until Joseph Rosenberger opened Shatnes Labs and spread the message in the 50s, wearing Shatnes was widespread in the frum community and people didn’t know if the issur.
Does that mean wearing Shatnes was okay? Same with shaving.
ubiq: What mistreatment? There’s been no pervasive such thing regarding these people. Actually, thugs. They’ve been given the red carpet treatment. Ferried into Israel when they never should have been allowed in. And unhindered and unmolested ever since they entered the country.
The elephant in the room is that the blacks are rioting, beating policemen, injuring people and sending them to hospitals and destroying hundreds of thousands of dollars or more in property. That’s real rioting and lawlessness.
Whereas a few Chareidim burn garbage and block traffic. And no one gets hurt and it’s over in a few hours. That isn’t rioting. That’s called civil disobedience. Technically illegal but it is done in every democracy including the United States where they also arrest the civil disobedience protester, give them a desk appearance ticket and quickly release them. When it comes to court they get a small fine.
But in Israel where the government hates the Torah and the Jews who observe the Torah instead of Zionism, they send their Yassam thugs on horseback to beat the non-violent frum protesters and throw their bloodies victims into jails without charges.
Unlike the real rioting thugs who are beating police officers while the government stands back and allows them to riot without response.
So those in favor of non-Orthodoxy being okay are similarly in favor of the father being Mechallel Shabbos in my example? You said he could’ve gone to a kosher restaurant but you raised no objections to that it was on Shabbos.
And given that there’s no kosher restaurants open on Shabbos, which is the only day he doesn’t work (he works Sunday through Friday) and could take his mentally ill daughter out to eat, surely therefore you’d be okay with a non-kosher restaurant given the circumstances.
The Zionist government tolerates and accepts whatever its black residents want to do. But should Torah Jews do the same, the same government beats them and arrests them after beating them.
Call it Eretz Yisroel instead of Israel and we can discuss this.
I recently had a conversation with a non-religious coworker who’s a single father to a teenage girl with mental disabilities. They go to a non-kosher restaurant every Shabbos morning, and they sit together. His daughter usually stares at the food and no more. He told me that this past Shabbos, his daughter ate the entire meal, for the first time. He was very emotional about it, and obviously very proud of her.
He then said “And that’s why the going to Chris’s Steakhouse on Saturday morning is the best method. Families should spend time together. If we had been Orthodox I wouldn’t have been able to enjoy that moment.”
I wasn’t sure what to say at that point. So I said something like “yes, for you it is clearly the best method.”
What would you have said?
They are Talmidei HaGRA. They’ve been following the Vilna Gaon’s austere way of life for the past 300 years; from the time of the GRA and when they moved to Eretz Yisroel following his petira through the present day and age
I’m wondering whether those that follow Rav Moshe ZT’L on an issue he’s a Daas Yochid when he’s mattir, such as permitting shaving, also follow Rav Moshe when he’s a Daas Yochid and he assurs, such as prohibiting having an air conditioner turn on during Shabbos with a timer.
Surely those that shave will never permit an air conditioner to be set to go on or off during Shabbos.
antibias: What on earth are you talking about? You really believe there’s a benefit to the goyishe way of try before you buy, where they live together before marriage? You’d have to be off your rocker to even contemplate that possibility.
Mrs P: Au contraire. There aren’t enough good girls. Really it is much easier being a good girl than being a good boy, since far far more is expected of boys in other to be considered to be good. But for a boy to find a girl equally good to himself is hard since there aren’t many.
A majority of Chareidi girls are married before they’re 25.
Yasher Koach for pointing out that glaring omission.
Completely incorrect. Divorce rates are lowest among those who marry young, the lower the marriage age the less divorces, and the divorce rate is highest among those who marry at an older age.
“I know a number of people who married for money when after the marriage either they lost their money, which made the person feel all the goodness of the partner was gone, so they divorced, or they were ruch but did bot share the money with the couple, again resulting in divorce.”
The other spouse can and should refuse to give/accept a divorce in such a case. This is precisely a case where it would be entirely justified to use the perogative the Torah gives to decline divorce.
rational: While it isn’t permitted to share a review with negative information, it IS permitted to post a fully positive review.
Warren: The CC says no such thing.
I pilot Air Force 1.
Where do you pilot?
Neville, where did you ever hear that the Eidah HeChareidis posken’s that they’re safek Jews?
YO: The descendents of the Khazars are Sephardim. The Ethiopians were never Jewish.
Allan, with a majority of Sephardim having converted to Christianity between the 1300s and 1500s, and later a number of the Marranos having returned, are you not concerned about Christian parentage of Sephardim.
GHD: You seem to not like that Halacha has to say about this question.
Buy used.
It’s the same story whether the book was bought new or used.
Besides L”H, many other issurim are additionally violated. Such as hasagas gvul, etc.
Yes, it would be Loshon Hora. Additionally, Jews are prohibited from posting such critical reviews about Jewish establishments on the general internet sites such as Yelp.
Also note that such reviews are subjective. They are not absolute truth. And even if they were the L”H objection would apply.
