So if a person is healthy but brings a Sefer to learn under the Chuppah (During the “break”) or a person is healthy but Learns a bit during Chazareth HasHatz (Between the Baruch Hoo and the Amens) its a good idea and shows he loves of learning.
How about bring a Sefer in the car and opening it up at a Red Light (Ive seen this done too) when stopped
Back in the yeshivot in Europe there was EATING DAYS.
Since food was scarce, you only had meals on certain days of the week and you fasted on others.
Since there are Minyanim at Mets , Yankees , Football Giants and likely Baltimore Orioles and Florida Marlins games
Since one is not permitted to daven in a treif place….
Yes it was Rav Dovid Goldwasser.
Happiest, dont take this the wrong way but if a Rav tells you to EAT on Yom Kippur you are required to eat on Yom Kippur just as halachaly required as most people are required to fast
A prominent rav (His name slips my mind ) is an authority on this topic and his FORBIDS people who suffer from this disorder from fasting even on Yom Kippur (He says its pikuach Nefesh)
He is in Brooklyn, Sorry if I forogot his name
Lots of people wear Yarmukas to baseball games in fact the have MINYANIM there as well (As least the Mets do , I am not sure about the Yankees since I am not a Yankee fan and dont go to their games)
I think the Football Giants also have Minyanim there as well
MINYANIM would not be allowed in a treif place
My friend taught me a General Rule of Thumb….If you are to embarrased to walk into a place wearing a Yarmulka, then you shouldn’t be walking in there at all.
Would you be embarrassed to walk into a baseball game where there sell KOSHER FOOD (The employees at the stand usually wear kippot)
There are many people who are not orthodox , but feel some closeness to yiddishkite.
They feel the davining at Young Israels is more real than conservative or reform, but they do not feel confordable in a more charedi shul (There is more singing , The Rabbi gives a sermon in english on topics of intrest to these people) (Chabad is an exception, but Chabad houses out of town are not aimed for Charedim anyway)
These people many times send their kids to a jewish orthodox Day school.
Media conviction?
The kids body was in his fridge, the kids actual blood was on his hands and body when the cops found him
Last I checked the prepetrator was a Male and last I checked the victim was also a male.
Exactly how is a male on male crime have anything to do with the issue of tzniut
Is anyone in favor of Pidyon Shivuim for Bernie Madoff
If one person eats cheeseburger that sin only affects that person
However if one person does the other sin he can affect alot of other innocent people and destroy their lives
We should learn not to point fingers what was “wrong” but what went “RIGHT”
Everyone went looking for the kid not matter who they were, everyone banded together.
We need to look why its takes a tragety to get everyone to agree on something and do something positive.
The victims blood was found on his hands
And with DNA testing its likely that his DNA will also be found on the victims as well.
They found part of the boy in his house.
And he was found on a survelieance video talking to the boy…
The evidence and not circumstancial.
I belive in the time of the Sanhadrein if there was someone guilty of murder , but they could not execute him for some reason they force fed him until he died
This is not the first time he tried to abduct a child 🙁
NO
The closest was Liberman who said he was observant.
He did not drive to the Senate on Shabbos, but I think he ate fish at non-kosher restaurants
Buying a herb at a chinese herbalist is really no differnet than buying a drug a drugstore. The only difference is at the drug Store the herb is packaged nicely and the drug is approved by the FDA as a cure.
The stuff at the chinese herbalist you have to rely upon what the person behind the counter tells you, but its not gurateed because the FDA did not approve it.
There is definalty proof that some alternative medicine works (Some of it may be the placebo affect person thinks stuff works so it actually works)
My advice go to the best STUDENT in the class. You probably have a good idea who has the greatest grasp of the material in the class.
It might be the frum guy , it might be one of the non-jewish girls. It might be a non-jewish guy.
Its pointless to ask for help from someone who has no grasp of the material either.
Caveat, if the person who seems to have the best grasp is Asian (or any other foreigner) , make sure they speak good english and you can understand them. When I was in college, It was hard to ask some of the Asians for help because they spoke english with a very hard to understand accent.
I dont know what college you go to, but many have math labs with free tutors. They realize that calculus can be hard.
In truth once you get it Calculus really isnt that hard.
I saw the original Spiderman and nothing fell on me.
The stunts were really good. Spiderman flys throught the theater
Or been in a Shul where they auction off Aliyot on days like Yomin Norayim
BTW I was in London and the Shul there had a PRICE LIST on the wall for Kibudim
Have you ever been in Shul and there is an appeal
You make your pledge to someone and its called out in front of everyone
Ploni 5 times Chai
In life and especially with teenagers you sometimes have to pick your battles.
The teenagers are not really that mature, thats why when they get that first bit of freedom in Israel they take advantage of it.
You have to look at the bigger picture, the girl in the story turned out OK and in the end thats all that really matters.
I just look upon it as a lesson in life.
This thread should not be a thread in Halacha as much as how to raise teenagers especially those who might have a little rebellion .
One can yell at the teenagers all day Assur M’Arysa and Koreis etc, some it will work and some it wont. For the ones that it wont, many times its just best to wait it out until it passes. And it seems in most cases it ends up just fine.
I think you mean MVH… Vaad of Massachussets.
If you do not keep Chalav Yisroel it is fine. Its a big Haschacha in New England based out of Boston
The only jewish NY baseball player at this time (that I know of) is Mets 1st basemen Ike Davis, His mother is definatly jewish, his father is not (Former Yankee Ron Davis) . I dont think he considered himself much jewish, but as it has become known to him that its a good idea to play the jewish roots, he has warmed up to the idea.
Anytime there is a potential jewish player in NY its well known because the teams want to promote to the jewish fans.
Ama’re Stoutamier of the Knicks might also be jewish. He has said there is jewish roots on his mothers side, but its been unclear exactly what that connection is
So you are going to tell me that a girl who hung out with a guy and they held hands and kissed when they were 18. After they both mature a bit (not everyone who is 18 is very mature). He gets married (and she gets married) both to other people.
He becomes a real Ba’al habyis is she becomes a real ba’als Habusta.
But because they engaged in holding hands and kissing when they were 18, He gets Karis and no matter how many times he keeps shabbos , Learns Daf Yomi, Gives Shiurim or anything else he does. He is cutoff from the rest of Jewery.
Not trying to minize the issue.
But many frum teens are not makpid on stuff like shomer negiah and if thats what she broke it isnt the end of the world, but if she ate a Big Mac thats very different.
Doing either is not according to Halacha, and its probably a bigger deal to have eaten the Big Mac
They are not doing it for the $10 admission, they are doing it to get the $500-$1000 or more purchase of tickets.
It is very hard to get people to donate larger amounts of money to a charity especially one they are not involved with. A Chinese auctions tends to attract people not normally involved with that charity.
Also it draws attention to your charity and maybe get other donors to come.
I went to a chinese auction for TAG, I have nothing to do with them, but the auction was held at the inwood country club with the best Sushi ever!!!!
I can attend such an auction
before Pesach your house is entirely cleaned, EVEN ONE CRUMB of Chametz is not allowed.
In most respects people feel this way like in the case of the one shmutz in the Library of Seforim.
But it seems in this one issue people are willing to look away , put their heads in the sand , make up excuses and do anything except find that one crumb before Pesach.
That is what I dont understand, I dont think the house is full of Chametz, It was cleaned. But that crumb is still there and you are required to search for it COMPLETELY
Its very different having “fun” as a teenager than as an adult.
While its true than a 12 year old girl or 13 year old boy is halachly an adult, maturity wise they usually are not.
FYI It is not clear what the friend did that was wrong. Going to the movies for example is not the same thing as hanging out at McDonalds
Imagine you had a Library of Seforim a full room of them, And someone told you there was a book of prizus in there somewhere. They did not tell you the name of the book or magazine or tell you where it was.
I am fairly certainly most of you would turn that library upside down looking for that prizus material.
I dont know how many are victims, but lets say One tenth of 1% which seems like a small number.
If there are 500,000 jews in NYC area. One Tenth of 1% is 500 people which is 500 too many
I agree Hatzoloah SHOULD charge insurance. That way less money would need to be raised for it and the money could go to other causes
I truly wish it could be explained to me why there is a cover up.
It is not Loshon Hora, If there is a teacher who is accused of this, I would want to know to keep my kids away from them.
If a yeshiva insits on hiring such a person, I want to know not to send my kids there and not to send them any money.
I dont belive its rampant in the frum community, like it was in the other religion
It could be that one person is doing it to more than one person so it seems there are more victims.
That is where the coverup is the problem. These people need to be outed and punished severly.
If I ever found out my daughters were victims, I would go to the authorities ASAP. Moser or not and If I had to move so be it.
England was also the first western European country to let jews in.
Look up Oliver Cromwell. While jews were not officially let in until much later, it began under cromwell.
During the middle ages jews were kicked out of England (even before France) but the fact of the matter is there were not that many jews there until very modern times (Basically after World War II)
England is in WESTERN EUROPE not Eastern Europe and was not invaded by the Nazis and the only jews killed there where those who served in the RAF or BEF
I am astonished so many times how little hakarat hatov we give sometimes to this country
If a company saying they are kosher produces non-kosher chicken marked as kosher every rabbi of every shul in that community would announce it in Shul not to eat from that supplier
It should be the same for other trayfus
Sometimes it takes openess to solve a problem.
Some people need to be embarassed. It is not the crime that is anti-semetic, its the coverup. If a crime is committed and the perpetrator is punished, I think most people do not blame anyone but the person, but once the perpetrator is protected in some way then people have a totally different opinion.
When to British got controlled of Palestine during the British Mandate. The yishuv wanted the Beis Din’s to have legal standing.
The British agreed to allow the Beis Din to have legal standing if the Beis Din’s agreed to have a court of appeals. I forgot which Rav when he heard of the Court of Appeals , praised the idea
You can go to Philly lots of stuff there to do and see less than 3 hours driving (Liberty Bell, Franklin Institute, Independecnce Hall etc)
Over shabbos with a Minyan in a motel is tough almost anywhere you go because most jewish areas are not in the tourist areas. There is actually in philly the second oldest congreation in the US Congregation Mikvah Israel (only the Spanish and Portgese Synagouge in manhattan is old) It dates from before the revolutionary war
I am married but it seems there might be a place for those who are not married to go
You can get there by train or Shortline bus. If you go by train, Take NJ transit Metro North to Harriman station and there is a bus from there to the outlet stores or you can take a short cab ride.
I once found alot of comic books and I sold them for $500 (I could have gotten more had I known what they were actually worth)
I am well aware of that, Most family members did get married early. Although it seems the girls get married around 20 and the Boys around 23-25. This is yeshivish not Chassidic
28 is not old to be single 40 is old to be single.
I got married at 28 and it was the perfect age, every person has the perfect age to get married and I am sure for most 18 is not it (I know it wasnt for me)
OT
A friend of mine once went to a yeshivish wedding , both Parents were real yeshivish looking
The father of the groom spoke first, And he spoke in a real Brooklyn jewish accent (In the Toirah it says etc)
And then the father of the bride spoke. He spoke in a real Southern Drawl. A yeshivish looking man speaking in a REAL southern Drawl . he was taken aback a bit
Having met the rebbe Rebbe Levi Yizchok several times, I always found it amazing that one expected a European accent when he spoke, but it was 100% Bostonian!
LOL
I guess an authentic BOSTONer Rebber must Pahk the Cahr
