The biggest self-caused antisemitism (meaning limiting this comment to discussing the antisemitism triggered by Jewish actions) is when Jews try to integrate into non-Jewish society or are otherwise embarrassed to clearly and openly display their Jewishness or aspects thereof.
The biggest preventer of antisemitism is when Jews stick to Jewish places and society and when interacting with non-Jews make sure they’re wearing a big yarmulka so that there’s no mistake that he’s trying to downplay his Jewishness.
Places that didn’t want Jews and said so publicly was a good thing. Jews shouldn’t even want to go where we’re not wanted. Better to let the antisemites be public about it so we know to avoid them. It’s a shame that was illegalized.
Bumping old threads allows reviewing of what already was discussed.
Trump is the best friend Jews ever had in the White House. The biggest antisemites in America today are large segments of the African-American community.
The JDL are terrorists.

Ask yourself the question: Am I dressed in a very specifically Jewish way — in a manner that non-Jews don’t dress and that virtually anyone seeing me will immediately know that I’m Jewish?
If the answer is no, you need to do some soul searching.
Nobody.
The comparison of a dirty white shirt or it being untucked versus a clean tucked in colored shirt is a false dichotomy. That would be like comparing wearing dirty pants versus wearing no pants. The answer isn’t to wear no pants. The answer is to make sure your pants and white shirt are clean and tucked in.
Doesn’t Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim still allow its bochorim to wear colored shirts in its branches outside NY?
“What do we do?”
We daven. That’s the only thing that can save us.
P.S. Europe and Israel have much worse antisemitism.
“pilots and doctors dress the way they dress for the convenience of others so they can recognize them faster from further away”
And should a Ben Torah, or for that matter any Jew, be any less?
Yes.
The statement a white shirt (alongside the rest of his ostensibly Jewish dress) makes is: I’m a Torah Jew.
amosak: That’s a complete falsehood. Russian nobles never dressed the way they dress now or then.
Jews are supposed to dress differently than non-Jews.
Why is wearing a green uniform required for military personnel?
Why do many students require a uniform?
Why do piolits require a uniform?
Why do doctors require a uniform?
Why do waiters?
Poorly worded titles kill threads.
For the same reason wearing full length pants is more Yeshivish than wearing shorts.
I’ve never abused my power.
What do you do about the guy who answers his phone in shul during minyan?
CTL: When you’re a guest in another shul, especially one you don’t have a relative (or other acquaintance) in and you’re not too familiar with, where do you sit?
And also you’re not Joseph.
Don’t be so sure.
Because I only mod 2:00 to 9:00
I’ve always wondered who the Night Owl here is.

Anyways, you’re outside your hours. Back to bed you go.
Skepticism of Dr. Tendler’s credibility does not stem from anonymous internet commentators. The Agudas Yisroel released a letter over 35 years documenting Tendler’s lying about Rav Moshe’s halachic positions. The Aguda’s letter is easily findable online and has a precise indisputable outline of the sheker perpetrated by that Y.U. fellow.
Meno: Please clarify what point you’re trying to convey. Are you asserting that if milk that has no hechshor whatsoever is being sold in the U.S., people who use Cholov Stam would have no problem buying it and drinking it and actually do so?
Because according to Rav Moshe’s heter for Cholov Stam, such milk is kosher to drink. So those relying on Rav Moshe’s heter for Cholov Stam should drink such non-hechsher milk in the U.S. just as they would drink OU-D milk in the U.S.
There have been two different Y.W. Moderator-25’s over time. The “Old 25” and the “New 25”.
You also missed Y.W. Editor.
Y.W. Moderator-42 is the oldest (in CR years not birth years) and longest continuously serving moderator other than Y.W. Editor. He is one of the original mods that started serving in 2008, if I recall correctly, when the Coffee Room was first established.
The ones that say Member instead of Moderator are former Moderators, no longer active as a mod.
According to the heter for Cholov HaCompanies/Stam, you should not need any hechsher whatsoever to use non-certified milk in the United States. You should be able to freely drink any American milk even with no hechsher at all. The heter says you can simply rely on the US government and the FDA.
So why don’t user of the Cholov Stam heter use any Cholov Stam milk or products that has no hechsher?
Trips? This sounds like a year vacation getaway, not a Torah schooling.
Why are trips a routine part of the “seminary” programming?
I’m wondering why so many Sefardim go to Ashkenazic yeshivos while so few Ashkenazim go to Sefardic yeshivos.
Why do they choose as such?
LH: And what if Rashi were to walk down any Yeshiva isle? Sephardim would kiss the floor he walked on too.
Rav Moshe clearly wrote (in the Igros) that a Yirei Shamayim (“Baal Nefesh”) should not use Cholov Stam (“HaCompanies”).
Many Ashkenazi boys also have their application to join a better Ashkenazi yeshiva declined. It’s easy to assume the worst reasons for the declination but the reasons are generally legitimate. Like they’re already full or that they received more applications from top bochorim than they have slots available.
Location is also absolutely a potentially contributing factor.
Which means that if US Gov / FDA rules, regulations, practices and/or laws have changed (as many indeed have) since Rav Moshe’s psak, even Rav Moshe agrees that his original Cholov Stam psak isn’t applicable today as the psak was very specifically based on FDA/US Gov regulations at the time the psak was given.
I’ve never seen a shul short on siddurim.
LOT: 50% of each.
Confiscate all guns and make possession of it illegal for non-law enforcement/non-military.
Any fiction itself is a b’dieved in the first place. Goyishe fiction all the more so for so many troubling reasons.
29, You’ll notice my points are almost always concise un tzu zach.
But at your suggestion I did take a second glance and the OP seems to on the ball, though a bit wordy.
I guess humor is dead.
bk, there’s emes to that, yasher koach. But, still, he should have some busha that he ever ate it and not casually refer to it without acknowledging the error.
How do you know? You shouldn’t have been eating Cholov Stam!
What do you mean in point 7 about the lunch program, Meir G?
Not according to their terms of service that that agree to when you signup, Amil. They contractually agree to keep your information confidential and to not share it.
Can we get the tl;dr version?
Some poor people do the same thing.

It’s a chiyuv to be happy and to drink. Not doing so isn’t an acceptable option.
