I make all my parnassah from the internet and everyone who knows me knows this is true
DY
Do you Belive cancer and other illnesses are caused by the internet?
During the Yiddish speeches many people went to their Smart phones
I did not hear R’ Elya Brudny speak, I got in about 7:15 and left about 10.
I saw all the vans from all the TV Stations there and I saw reporters speaking to people
Correct Rav Wacsman speech was the only one in English, the rest were in Yiddish
Nothing since all the speeches were in Yiddish with no translation (At least in the Tennis Stadium)
Some people make incomes off ebay, Amazon, Yahoo and others.
These sites have been filtered. Satmar bans Yahoo for example because there is entertainment news

Ive seen this statement around. The message is for a different religion, but you can make the change
I Love “Yeshua”, its his followers I cant stand
I think sometimes this might be forgotten, Maybe your son Loves Hashem, but there are some “followers” that he cant stand and make he equate one with the other
Actually I have no problem with the price, I just said a fair price. Actually the Siyum which I dont have any issues with the event I think charges too high prices
I have many issues with the asifa, however I do not think they are doing it for the money.
Nish,
Abusr Affects the ENTIRE community even if it doesnt affect your personally, It causes others to go OTS and Kol Bnei Yisroel Evravim Zeh Lo-Zeh
elik +1
I actually wouldnt be opposed to it if it was an event where there was just a giant musser shmooze, sort of a religious revival event. Maybe a Maggid Shiur give a shiur for all to hear.
With fair ticket prices and nobody forced to participate.
You cant make up your own history
Yes there were many members of Chazal like Rebbe Shimon Bar Yochai who hated the Romans and the Romans Destroyed the Beis Hamingdosh
But you seem to be forgetting Yavneh, where learning occured for hundred of years until Rome itself fell into disarray.
The Romans left Yavneh alone and the Misha and Yerushalmi was written there
It was reported on VIN
Now tell my Women could not have been invited. The Subway and Roosevelt Ave makes a great Mechitza
There is no con
Thats why its called a BAR mitzvah

I am going to tell you a story I heard
Someone once went to a Rav saying he HATED Shabbos, The Rov couldnt belive what he heard and then the man repeated I HATE SHABBOS.
The Rov asked the man he hated Shabbos and the man said, when I was young My parents spent all week preparing for Shabbos getting the best Fish, using the best dishes, Getting the best meat.
The Rov thought to himself, that sounds like a very nice Shabbos.
Then the man said, Every Shabbos my father would make me eat that Fish, I hated Fish. My father wouldnt let me eat anything else until I ate the Fish. I almost threw up every time I ate it.
Then the Rov understood, He associated Shabbos with the Fish that he hated. And told me you dont have to eat Fish on Shabbos.
I have been to peoples house where Chulent was FORCED on the kids (The Kids didnt want to be Fleshing) , ive been told “Ain Simcha elah Yayyin, Dag and Bassar”
There are lots of places to go with this, But first Clothes are NOT Important. As long as he isnt naked what is the Big Deal. If he wants to wear Jeans SO WHAT.
Where does it say that wearing Jeans is ASSUR?
It doesnt, of course. People make up Chumras and for some Chumras are good, but for other people Chumras are TERRIBLE and have the opposite effect instead of making people closer to Hashem it pushes them away.
You need to seperate Chumras from Halacha. Just like the Father in the Story made his son eat the Fish , The son didnt learn to like Fish which was the intention, The Son learned to hate Shabbos
You still must register for the Draft (Selective Service)
I think they can throw you in Jail if you dont register
If you were drafted in 1942 you could have easily been shipped to the Pacific Theater and fight the Japanese as the European Theater to fight the Nazis.

You really need to read the History books, The Romans even intended to rebuild the Temple under Julian the Apostate around the year 363 , but the Earthquake hit and it was not possible anymore.
If Rebbe was not Pro-Roman why was his good friends with the Roman Empereror Marcus Antonious.
I will reveal the secret but you have to promise not to tell: at the asifa, the Rebbe shlita will reveal himself as Moshiach (shhhh)
LOL!!!
But seriously the Expo has already been cancelled, that is no rumor the latest flyers posted around town say so
Actually from rumors Ive heard the event will be mostly Tefillot and very little about the internet (They will be giving out booklets with filter companies)
It seems certain groups who were against the internet (Satmar?) would not endorse the asifa unless it was done this way
I think also the dispute between Rabban Gamliel and Rebbi Yehoshua was at least partly about the Romans, One of them favored good relations with the Romans and the other didnt.
(I think Rabban Gamliel was pro-roman as he was a decendent of Rebbe…but I could be wrong and have them mixed up)
Are you oblivious to the countless anti-Roman statements of Chazal?
Not all Chazal were Anti-Roman especially Rebbe Yehuda HaNasi and Likely Rebbi Yochanan Zakai as well
My definition of Charedi are either Chassidim or Litvish (Lakewood and the Like) people.
Chabad and Chofetz Chaim IMO would count as Charedi
mdd: Every civilized nation has an exemption for religious students. Including the U.S. and Europe. Obviously the State of Israel is not a civilized nation
The exemption is not Indeifinately and its not as big a percentage
I was wondering, where did this notion begin that Lag Ba’omer is a relic of a celebration of the Bar Kochva revolt? It actually doesn’t make any sense to me to celebrate it.
Actually it makes plenty of sense
It is unlikely that Rebbi Akiva had 24,000 students (Think how big that really would have been) And its was also was likley illegal under the roman to celebrate the Rebellion.
So they said it was for the “Students” of Rebbe Akiva rather than Bar Cochba Soldiers to bypass Roman censors.
zsdad, The Israeli parades and protests are mostly frei non-Orthodox.
And where do you get this information.
Why not go to the Israel Day Parade and you will see who marches, its mostly Modern Orhtodox Day Schools. The largest contigent at the parade is Yeshiva of Flatbush.
While there are non religous at the Parade, they are by far the minority
The truth is nobody really knows.
They will not tell even Rabbis who will speak or what they will speak about
The Salute to Israel Day Parade gets over 100,000 people a year almost all are MO since almost no charedim go.
There was a protest in Washington DC on the national lawn for Israel in 2003 I think, Over 300,000 jews (mostly MO) attended, While you could claim the Salute to Israel parade is free, It cost money and time to get to Washington DC. (More than $10 and more than 4 hours of your time)
Also what is charedi, How do you count Chabad. Does someone who drives to a Chabad shul count as Charedi, but goes every Shabbos.
There are very few Charedim outside NY area (Lakewood counts as NY) and Baltimore, Miami as its almost impossible to be one as thing as Chalav Yisroel are hard to get and Yeshiva education not available
Look on the Map neat Lancaster, PA
Just answer the question
Which invention did more damage to Yiddish Neshamas
The Train or the Internet
Actually Lag Ba-Omer might have been a sad day
In the year 363 Jullian the Apostate emperor of Rome had promised to allow rebuilding of the Bais Hamingdosh. Jullian was the last non-christian emperor of Rome and tried to return Rome to Pre-Christian days.
On Lag Baomer in 363 there was a massive Earthquake in the Gallile which destroyed what was left in Israel and shortly afterwards Jullian the Apostate was killed in Battle and all plans for rebuilding the Bais Hamigdosh were shelved
Would you be thrilled if the Telephone, Printing Press , Electricity and Internal Combustian Engine (Car ,Train , Plane) would also be able to get rid of.
The fact of the matter is the Engine has done more damage to Klal Yisroel than any other invention
Has anyone considered what a terrible Chilul Hashem this is.
There is no such thing as free money, If you dont like the options dont take the money.
To expect non-charedis to fight to protect you and support you as well is not tennable especially as the charedi population grows larger.
What happens when more than 50% of the population is charedi not in the army and not working you cant expect everyone one to give all their energy and power to support you.

Do you think Columbia or NYU hires professors based on Nepotism. Do you think teachers hired by YU or The New York City Public School system hire by Nepotism.
Now I am not saying nepotism never occurs in these places, of course it does, but the majority of hirees at these places are based solely on merit. If one or 2 slips though, its doesnt make much of a difference, but at many yeshivas almost the entire staff is somehow related to the R’Y
You would have much better rebbes if they were hired on merit than nepotism. Ones who could actually teach and cared about every boy, not just those who are the “best”
Unfortunatly Yeshivas are not run the way most schools are run, even day schools.
Most regular school and day schools, hire people by merit, they ask for resumes and hire the best candidates and fire people who do not meet up to specs about teaching (You have to be qualified and a decent teacher to get tenure)
However yeshivas are not run that way, Rebbes are hired via nepotism (Son, Son-in-law,Brother, etc) of the RY regardless of their ability to teach (I know plenty of people who know torah, but it doesnt mean they can teach, let alone teach teenagers)
But this is the cruz of the problem here, WOW’s son is not going off because he wants to, He is being PUSHED. Why would anyone want to be part of a religion that tells you , that you are a failure.
It has become a negative connotation and very hurtful.
I dont have much advice to give unfortunatly.
Sura is now called Fallujah
I just got an e-mail from Air Berlin for $1288 from JFK to Tel Aviv
You best bet is try to find a ticket consolidator.
They have cheaper tickets via European Airlines and you have to switch planes in Europe
Rabbi Berel Wein was once RUNNING in Jerusalem in a sweat Suit and Rav Shlomo Zalman Auberbach saw him and he was a little embarrassed.
Rav Shlomo sensed this and said to him NU your health is important to

While the best students do well and Chinuch works great, for anyone average or CH’V less than average or at the bottom, they want nothing to do with them.
Anyone can make a good student into a Talmid Chacham. Good Chinuch turns a TERRIBLE student into a a Tzadik.
Rav Shlomo Freifeld went to Rav Hutner and asked for the 12 WORST learners in the yeshiva. And he made them into the leaders of today.
Please tell us what is ASSUR about Bowling?
wow
I heard a speech from a Rav about OTD Kids given at the Agudah Convention.
He said that even OTD kids for the most part have some connection. He metioned a girl who was pregnant from a non jewish man, but still wanted her new daughter named in Shul.
Maybe he doesnt want to daven. Maybe there is something else. Right now I think its best to concentrate on those mitzvos he wants to do and not those he doesnt want to do
There was a case all over the news about 15 – 20 years ago of a couple in a bitter divorce where the father declared he married off his little daughter in this manner, and refused to disclose to whom. It was an ongoing situation for a number of years. I don’t know or remember what the resolution to that case was, but everyone was all up in arms (obviously
This is where Rav Shlomo Auerbach came in, He had said someone who marries off he daughter like that is a Rasha and not to be belived and it was void
