If you could do well as a MLM marketer, you could do well at ANY sales job and make alot more money
Because NY makes you manually enter in the tickets, Making it impossible to do all 100 Million combinations
In NY thats impossible, but in another lottery (I think it was Virginia) a conglomeretate actually did this, they were not able to buy all the tickets as they have to be indivudually entered, but they were able to buy enough to win (They bought more than half of them)
Queens and Brooklyn college are ALOT cheaper, Why break the bank
Rabbi Moshe Faskowitz is the Grandson of Rav Avraham Joffen and the Great Grandson of Yosef Yoizel Hurwitz the Alter of Alter of Novardok
How about Brooklyn or Queens College with Yeshiva on the side
Most of the Students at Brooklyn and Queens are commuters and leave campus after classes.
Chofetz Chaim and Lander are near Queens and there are plenty of Yeshivas near Brooklyn
Ill assume you live in the NYC area.
One can hop on the Subway in NYC and go to some great places like Times Square , Maybe hop on the Subway and catch some rays at the Beach at Coney Island
And Lakewood is not far from the Jersey Shore.
The point is wherever you are there is tumah, You can either “protect” your sons from seeing this and he will see it later, or you can teach him how to deal with it

I have a friend who used to work at a tourist souviner store in Manhattan. Next door there was “a place where a frum jew shouldnt go”
As part of his job was to stand on the sidewalk and pull people into the store. Of course he could see who was going into the place next door.
He told me he used to see such people go all the time to this place and this was BEFORE the internet.
Things were done before the internet and will continue to be done. No amount of filter will stop it
ANYONE especially kids can disable a filter, there are anonymous internet proxies out there (They are usually used by people in countries like China who block political sites) that will overide any filter
Why would you call it a Zechus? It’s a tremendous Pikuach Nefesh for no reason.
Why do you say its Pikuach Nefesh, thats the way it was done for thousands of years
If husband and wife both agree to and want this lifestyle, then why do you even care?
If you are not Ger you might not know this chumras and even if you are Ger, you arent told of these chumras until a few hours before your wedding
<em > This is not a chiddush. Besides which, it is not at all clear that the much-touted letter the Steipler wrote – IF he wrote it (there are serious claims that he did not)
I dont know what the Steipler said or didnt say, but I do know this every time a letter is published that someone doesnt like , its seems SOME claim its a “FORGERY”
Outside of NY, Ive seen people eat Pizza with a Fork and Knife, It looks so strange
Try to eat a slice in the NY area with a Fork and Knife you will look more uncouth than if you eat it the “Proper Way”
Just because the Cops dont catch you, doesnt make it LEGAL
HASHEM is watching you Dinah D’Malchus Dina
“Some would say it is actually about politics and economics during the turn of the century, though that was watered down in the movie.
L Frank Baum (The author of the book) said that
And Yip Harburg who wrote the songs was a communist and was black listed later.
If you dont use a Mirror, you cant drive safely
Staying married and few divorces does not mean you are happy
If someone is a Ger male and doesnt know these Halachas and is told of them 2 hours before his wedding
How is anyone supposed to know that he is “open minded” and even if he is.
If he is told the Gerrer Rebbe said to hold these halachas, even if he is open minded it doesnt mean he wants to disobey the Gerrer Rebbe
What’s RBS?
Ramat Beit Shemesh. Its a city in Israel
@Smart there were some Bianers (Not sure of spelling), Skvaers there and quite a few Lubavich (Ive known a few Lubavich in my life)
I was recently at a chassidic wedding in New Square (At that beautiful hall just outside the main part of town) I dont know what kind of Chassidim they were though.
I also recently met a Bobover at a cousins house.
I dont think Ive ever met a Ger, Vishiz or Belz.
Most of my family is Yeshivish not Chasidic, so frankly I am more familiar with that crowd.
Hashem creates emotions and feelings, for instance Hashem creates Hunger for a reason. Do you think Hashem would create something BAD?
Maybe you dont know the reason for it, but it doesnt mean its BAD.
Since Hashem doesnt create BAD things, how could a feeling that Hashem created like infatuation be BAD. Hashem created it for a reason
As long as you said the Brocha Shlo Asni Dati Leumi you are fine
I used to work for Chasidim. I knew alot of them, Especially Satmar.
How would you know if a couple divorced for a “stupid reason” or for a “valid reason” Like Abuse
Isnt talking about abuse Lashon Harah? If its Lashon harah then it cant be discussed and the average person doesnt know about it.
There is a famous couple in Borough park, I dont know if they are Chassidic or Yeshivish (They are not MO, I know that) who really HATE each other and the divorce is nasty than they literally split the house in half.
Should people who hate each other remained married?
I am not divorced, but I know plenty of people who are divorced and frankly most (if not all of them had really good reasons for being divorced)
Issues like abuse, Husband refused to get a job, division of household jobs , issues related to the kids.
I dont think their should be a stigma for getting divorced. Why should an abused spouse be stigmatized for getting one and if it means someone who got divorced for a stupid reason isnt stigmitized so be it.
I dont think the reason there are less divorces in the Chassidic communities vs other is NOT because of Beshows vs Dating
I think its the way Divorce is treating in general. In many communities Divorce is not seen as that bad and if the marriage isnt working out, get a divorce and get over it.
However AS I SEE IT (and I could be wrong here) in Chasidic communities divorce is strongly frowned upon and only done in extreme circumstances (Although I think that is changing slightly)
How do you know if you can love or get along with someone after meeting them for 30 mins.
Just because my parents like someone doesnt mean I would like them. Nothing against my parents, but there are likes and dislikes I do not share with them.
IMO a Kehila is that sub-group or community that you belong to.
What would be interesting if you lived in a Ger community but was not a Ger, you might be required to follow these halachas even if you werent a Ger
Imagine walking into a new car dealership and the dealer shows you a car, Basically you are pressured strongly to buy the car and while you can say no, you are expected to buy the car. A car is a committment for a long time and you are expected to make this decision on the car in 30 mins
Even more Lehavdil on a marriage, you are supposed to spend the rest of your life with this person and you are expected to make a decision in 30 mins.
Now what if you parents brought you to the dealership and showed you a Lexus. A Lexus is a great car and your parents would never steer you wrong, but it doesnt mean you want a Lexus. It doesnt mean you are a bad person, or anything like that, you just dont want a Lexus.
The Cromwell Rebellion occured after Shakespeare, So there were no jews in England at Shakespeares time (At least open jews)
Merchant of Venice was not as anti-semetic as say The Jew among thorns by Grimms Fairy Tales (Cinderella, Snow White)
Shylock was not really portrayed as a bad guy at the end , Shakespeare probably never met a jew in his life
I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands,
organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same
food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases,
heal’d by the same means, warm’d and cool’d by the same winter
and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If
you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?
And if you wrong us, do we not revenge? If we are like you in the
rest, we will resemble you in that.

The Best segula is go see a doctor who knows how to turn the baby around in the womb.
“With a Beshow are the young people allowed to say no?”
Of course. That’s what it’s for.
Serious questions, if you parents spent a long time finding this person and you just dont like them for whatever reason. Is there pressure to say yes.
With a Beshow are the young people allowed to say no?
Or is it pretty much a done deal?
You dont “get out of tickets” from having a PBA card.
the Cops know people who have that dont get a ticket
And its not Chilul Hashem to try to fight a ticket. There are plenty of legitimate ways to beat tickets , perfectly legal
Someone once asked Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach a Shailah and Rav Shlomo personally felt it should be forbidden.
However in this case he felt the person needed it to be permitted so he asked another Rav that he knew was Makil in this case and had that Rav Poskin and not himself
Why should someone take upon a Chumra that they dont even know exists
in all seriousness, they’d better be able to sell out all or at least most of the 42,000 seats. There is nothing more embarassing than having a rally in front of an empty stadium.
In todays world if they dont sell out they will look incredbily foolish to the outside world
Is anyone planning to live-Tweet the event?
LOL
New York Water Taxi operates a free ferry to the stadium from Pier 11/Wall Street and the East 34th Street Ferry Landing before every game
There is no FREE Ferry to Citifield
13th Avenue is in Borough Park, there is nothing really like it in Flatbush, its much more spread out
what’s Coney Island Avenue?
Its not the same as 13th Ave and neither is Avenue M or Avenue J.
13th Ave has a certain look and feel.
Other streets like 16th Ave have a feel, but not like 13th Ave
The Superintendent Lydia R. Silva resigned because she felt there was things going on.
She has said this herself, its not a rumor that she said it
13th Avenue is in Borough Park, there is nothing really like it in Flatbush, its much more spread out
Can you prove the haaretz article is wrong?
Before you condemn the article why not read it.
Its main source is a woman named Nava Wasserman who is getting her PHd from Bar Ilan on Gur
The real issue is not the Gerrer customs. The Issue is if the OP’s cousins know these customs and is willing to accept them and if she doesnt know them should the OP tell her and accept the ramifications if he tells her. (And I dont mean halachic problems, I am sure there is room Halachically to tell her, I mean FAMILY problems.)
Would he want to be the one who broke up a Shidduch “to a fine boy and fine family”.
About discussing these on an anonymous blog, the fact of the matter is these topics are somewhat secretive and if you asked your Rov he would not tell you and if you asked a Gerrer Chussid, they probably would not tell you either.
Just because its in Haaretz doesnt mean its wrong, if you know anything about Gur and you read the article. It basically confirms what you think you know
Wolf, except for absolute minimum they dont even touch
Husband and wife dont even hold hands in private
Haaretz did an article on this, you can google it
They are noheg to generally follow the rules of nidah even when the wife is not a nidah and keep contact with spouse to a bare minumum
If you pick up a ticket IN PERSON you can avoid the fee on normal events.
However if you use a ticket service like Ticketmaster there are fees.
I have no problem with the fees using a ticket service, but there should no fee for pickup for the tickets
