because all the chickens are crossing the roads to escape from the shochet
it is subjective, it is not subject to a standardized guideline, that is not the way to proceed. but that doesnt mean nothing can be done.
i think what you are calling “the actual Halachah” (youre basically referring to inches, right) has actually much improved over the last few years, and needs little strengthening (among the frum). the inches are almost always adhered to.
i wish i could use speific language here but i cant. im sure you know what im referring to, see sheins quotes of me.
the Halachah is being trampled on and erased.
i dont know about the socks issue and whatever else you are referring to as extras, im kind of out of the loop on these specifics.
im referring to the manner of dress that would have our alter Bubbies running away and weeping, if not grabbing a blanket and throwing it over them. maybe screaming at them, or fainting. in spite of all the inches being covered.
youre right, ill change it if you want. but ill have to also remove the ‘very” from your post, let me know.
YW Editor thought up the idea of YWN website, later he decided to start the CR (i disagreed with him), and he later appointed myself as a mod.
it is equally possible that Rabbi Scheinberg didnt actually say anything at all and it was actually a ventriloquist in the closet.
i think gavra (as well as Halachah), deserves the last word here.
mods- I am a firm believer that we should be allowed to express our views without censorship. ……. Either you must close this thread or start censoring it.
i learned in high school that the first and last sentence of a paragraph should parallel each other. wow
youre right shein
today a proper Yirei Shomayim man should probably not attend a Chasunah. i do, and i rationalize it in many ways, but it really should not be done. most Chasunahs that im aware of anyway.
yes i know the Gedolim attend, but they are able to insulate themselves from the problem in many ways
youre right shein
i think tznius has greatly and rapidly worsened over the same time period. i dont mean the technicality of inches (which is of course critical in itself). i mean the frummest women, even young Rebbiitzens, dressing in a manner (well i cant say) and its not only accepted but expected.
of course there are some true Aishes Chayalos, who are exceptions.
i do not understand the reason for this except perhaps that we have been living in america immersed in the nations for too long.
it is frightening.
in response to the question of the title (which is completely different that the post)
yes, tremendously!
i have seen a huge difference in the last 20 years or so. before the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation, the majority of frum Yidden werent even aware of the issur.
the idea mewho, if you would stop and think about it, instead of immediately being critical, especially without adding anything helpful of your own is:
to associate something that one is always carrying (ie purse for many women) and would sense it missing immediately,
to associate it with something (baby) that is NOT always present, especially for men.
people are human, sometimes they are preoccupied with worries or other things, some people intensely preoccupied, mistakes happen, even deadly ones, it is a shame, it is a tragedy. and if people need help tp prevent it, then they should avail themselves of it.
what a great idea!
when i have something important at home or Shul, or wherever, and im afraid i might forget it, i put my car keys near it. more than i few times i got to my car and realized i left my keys and i remembered the other important item
i never thought of applying that aitzah to this.
interesting
Interesting stories – but I wish you would stop separating between Yid and goy.
do you say Havdallah?
do you know the meaning of the words?
do you think about them?
DO YOU BELIEVE THEM?
do you understand that Hashem has made us a Holy Nation, a Kingdom of Priests, above and apart from the nations of the world.
you should address your wish to HaKodesh Boruch Hu.
you could give a very nice, boxed pen and mechanical-pencil set to a Bar Mitzvah for about $10-15, a challah cover for very little.
if you are single, people dont expect you to spend much, but if possible its nicer to give a gift
expresses a chiba between the parties, shows that you care (as does coming to the Simcha)
no one condemned the parents in a case of necessity, or lack of understanding of the dangers.
do you ever miss an opportunity to condemn anything more frum than you? seems to be a constant pattern in your posts.
thanks gavra
youre right
but its one of those Gemorrah things
if you notice in the first half of my post the raisha was worded (in the quote) a certain way so i worded the saifa the same way.
what i dont like is when people say that the only way to educate a frum child is by sending him/her to a frum school
well then, youre not going to like this:
the only way to educate a frum child is by sending him/her to a frum school.
if you are forced by circumstances to send him to a public school, well what can you do?
but that is a very poor and dangerous thing to do to a Jewish Neshama, and it is a pity if someone is forced to do so.
sorry 72 it took so long. ive been in and out
just replace B with the word: “strong”
whoah..look what happens to a moderator when he retires.
i think you should go back to school and then join the ranks
the turkey chicken one is actually pretty good
doesnt really belong in this thread
1. puffed wheat
2. my brother
3. fodder for j.a.p jokes
4. doesnt ring a bell
5. dont think thats possible
why did the chicken cross the road?
to get the chinese newspaper.
i dont get it.
neither do i, i get the ny times.
except for the road-crossing chicken
there is no joke worse than that
why did the farmer say that?
how would anyone know where his tractor is if he himself doesnt?
sounds like he was mentally challenged
you shouldnt make fun of people like that
thats not funny.
ergo: the worst joke ever!
i do but im afraid if i post them someone…ahem..will steal them.
A joke isnt good when you need to disect it…
gumball, anything you disect isnt very funny
why did the cognitively-challenged person tiptoe past the medicine cabinet?
he didnt want to wake up the sleeping pills.
blinky
very original
your logic is staggeringly impressive!
nevertheless you fail to understand Riddle World
im not capable of explaining it but it its rules are consistent and have their own logic. which is often quite illogical. kind of like quantum theory.
i once visited there. you can check out anytime you want, but you can never leave. i would recommend staying away.
this might be the worst joke ever but if you are about 5 years old its very funny
why did the cow go to the theater?
to see the mooooooovie.
yes coke
i know what you mean but it made me “uncomfy” if you know what *I* mean
so what do you think you should do then?
it enriches the receiver without impoverishing the giver
not strong enough
it enriches both
so coke
what do you think about my suggestions?
right
it should have turned into a thread about maize
veteran
you are right
in the real world.
however this episode took place in Riddle World
which has its own rules and logic
in Riddle World there are people who always lie
there are unlabeled boxes of fruit which no one is allowed to look into but is free to remove one piece from
and other such anomolies.
i see why that bothers you.
i guess you would have to explain this to them beforehand.
or pretend you are like a nurse who has to deal with unpleasant things, and think of how Hashem appreciates what you are doing, even though it is hard emotionally as well as physically.
its terribly wrong
the teacher certainly should be corrected
fired? maybe
sometimes a teacher can be so frustrated, feeling she has no way whatsoever to control her class, that she acts out of desperation, and probably doesnt realize just then how wrong it is.
could be this itself is a sign of her incompetence and she should lose her job, but im not so sure
always this has to be done by someone who is sensitive to both the wronged and the wronging parties.
i know i have done some very foolish and harmful things and eventually came to see just how wrong i was but somehow at the time i just didnt see it.
of course the Binos Yisroel must be protected at all costs from harm.
hows that for wishy-washy?
you might see “ames” mentioned. all of her posts disappeared (not deleted, its a long story).
sjinnyc, oomis, squeak are still regular posters
roshyeshiva i think is joseph
feivel is still here but only posts occasionally
