The Chofetz Chaim dressed very simply, like an average Yid. Even his hat was a common one.
That said, there are different derechs in this regard. You wouldn’t expect, or likely accept, if the King dressed like an average Dave.
Wolf: Everyone knows the real experts are in the CR.
You guys won’t be the first transatlantic couple.
LB: If you didn’t know that Elizabeth was married, who’d you think is Charles’ father?
Diana will never become the Queen that Camilla will become. This is poetic justice given Diana’s sin. The vain Diana wanted nothing more than to become a Queen. Even after Charles divorced her she was still kvetching to the media that she still wanted to become Queen.
Now Camilla is, of course, no better than Diana and deserves the queenhood no more than Diana. She committed the same sin and they are two peas in a pod. But the reason to take pleasure in the fact that Camilla will become Queen where Diana will never get that title she desperately wanted, is the comparative public perception and reaction to these two trollops. While the public scorned Camilla, they worshipped Diana. And what they get is a crushed Diana and a Queen Camilla.
I’ve heard left us used for many tzaddikim but never heard a reluctance to use zt’l.
Wolf: We disagree about the likelihood of Camilla officially and publicly using her title of Queen.
Shopping, change a few slight details and you’ll be fine sharing them.
You and oyyoyyoy.
iac: Succession is set by law, and the law is jointly set to be the same by the legislatures of all Commonwealth nations. They’d all have to jointly legislate any change to make any adjustments. And the reigning monarch has no say in who succeeds him/her.
The four Chasiduses started by the Talmidei HaMaggid were Lubavitch, Stolin, Berditchiv and Cherenobyl.
It would not surprise me in the the least (in fact I anticipate as such) that King Charles will officially refer to his wife as Queen Camilla once he is King, despite the PR titles that were said will be used for Camilla not long after the untimely but deserved early death of the adulteress Diana occurred and emotions were still raw in the United Kingdom. The wedding announcement was a mere 8 years after Diana met her demise in a crush of metal. By time Charles ascends it’ll be more like 30 years thereafter.
Indeed, the rumblings from Buckingham Palace over the past five years has made clear that Prince Charles is making known that this will be the case.
CTL, absolutely incorrect.
Camilla WILL be Queen (unless she or Charles passes away before Queen Elizabeth). As wife of the future King, by law of both the UK and all Commonwealth nations, she is currently the Princess of Wales and will be Queen upon Charles’ ascending to the throne. Period. Whether she tells the newspapers to call her Queen or Princess of Wales or Duchess of Cornwall or HRH The Princess Consort or any of whatever the MANY titles both she and Charles have, is an irrelevant personal preference of either hers or the newspapers.
But no matter what you or others (even she!) likes or dislikes, Princess Camilla is now Camilla, Princess of Wales and will be Queen Camilla once there is a King Charles.
As far as the divorce issue, don’t forget that their zeida King Henry specifically broke the Church of England away from Roman Catholicism so that he could remain King and get divorced. So they surely have ample precedent. (And like adulteress Diana, two of his wives were beheaded for adultery, which he – like Charles – was also guilty of.)
Charles, Prince of Wales, will become the next King. At that time, Camilla, currently the Princess of Wales and Prince Charles’ wife, will become Queen Camilla.
Sandels.
The title of King is higher than the title Queen. Thus if the Queen is the sovereign her husband isn’t entitled King (as that would imply he is of a higher position than her), but if the King is the sovereign, his wife is entitled Queen.
Interesting discussion:
NCB: The Geszhe Lubavitchers (old timer families originally from the alte heim) speak Yiddish at home and in Yeshiva, wear different levush and eliminate most of the secular curriculum in school.
If the school tells the rebbe working in their Yeshiva that the discount for his children is because he’s an employee, then it might be taxable under the new law. If they tell him it is because of his low income they’re discounting the tuition, it is not taxable under the new law just as when they give a low income accountant (working elsewhere) a tuition discount it isn’t taxable.
It’s all a matter of structuring it correctly to legally avoid taxes.
The proposed law doesn’t treat rebbeim who get a tuition discount any differently than poor accountants who get a tuition discount.
The yeshiva can give anyone, including rebbeim no less than working parents, a “needs based” charitable discount. It would be no different in taxation-status between a low income accountant parent or a rebbi parent.
Most heimishe Yeshivas and Beis Yaakovs don’t have a fixed set amount as tuition. It is whatever tuition was negotiated with the parents. And the one’s that do have an “official” price, most parents pay less, even working parents.
Private prep schools require uniforms too. Does anyone know why?
Illegal aliens smuggle over the border.
ZD; So why doesn’t the hotline rabbi tell the caller he cannot answer and he must consult his local rabbi.
“So, how many yeshivos have a white shirt only policy?”
From mesivta and up, the vast majority (of Chareidi) yeshivos do. How many don’t?
iac, was that the school where you said the bochurim approached the Menahel? Perhaps the Brooklyn branch seeks a higher standard, being the frum capital of America.
In much of the Torah world a white shirt is as much the uniform of a Ben Torah and servant/soldier of Hashem as a black hat and jacket is. Just as every branch of the military has a uniform, every branch of Hashem’s army does. In some branches that requires a white shirt.
Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim allows it.
ZD, how do you have “inside information”?
If his Rav holds Chalav Stam is categorically assur and he’s a member of that kehila, then Chalav Stam is categorically assur for him. Full stop.
Some people are able to use humor in expressing profound responses to serious inquiries.
Does Queens have a community of Brisker types of Yidden or BMG types, Satmar or Lubavitch Yidden?
ubiq, your 5 and 6 sound like rabbi/psak-shopping.
