Dorah,
If you want to let everyone know that you are clearly clueless on a halachic concept, just say you don’t know. There is no reason to try to make light of serious halachic concepts.
@Avirah
I assume he is rereferring to the inyan of being mor makpid on kashrus on Pesach than the rest of the year. That it is not considered yuhara to be makpid on things over Pesach that one is not makpid on the rest of the year. Thus he is referring to cholov Yisroel currently.
You didn’t mention Trump, but it’s clearly a symptom of TDS that would have you state that calling these people employed by Obama as “false information”.
I am not a lawyer, but I do not believe that legally it was an incorrect usage. Employed also means hired or used by. Which is clearly not “false information” as you initially called it. It is not even a “misstatement” as you tried to to down in your next comment.
Yechiell,
Are you saying that Trump is being led around by the nose by Obama? I hardly think anyone sane could say that. Neither are you denying that Biden is being manipulated by Obama. But you think Obama was good for the nation? Was (is) good for Jews? Was good for Israel?
Get out of your Trump mishegaas and respond to what the point of the post is.
CT,
Really? That’s false information? Who hired or approved their appointments? The semantics your splitting hairs on are so ludicrous as to be false information in and of itself.
I understand you abhor Trump. Fine. But to ignore that Obama was bad for the Country (it was him that exacerbated all or nothing attitude in politics today. Only he had the right answers and he knew everything about everything) and as I know you are a Jew, he was bad for Jews and bad for Israel. And the effects are growing even today.
The level of antisemitism in the US grew exponentially, particularly against visible Jews, from Obama’s reign.
So you get caught up because you “believe” Square Root used the wrong word, while missing the Donkeys in the house.
I think you have to take “Dora’s” word on this. It is probably an expert as it constantly demonstrates as it is vying for the president job at Harvard. And a University president would be expert at all things FAFSA. וד״ל
Bottom line, people like Jakkk, who label people fascists because they believe in the sanctity of life. They are more supportive of those who support abortion up to and even after birth. The support laws which forbid providing care to a baby who has survived an attempted abortion. They support euthanasia. You tell us who are the real fascists.
These radical liberals belive the only lives worth protesting for are those of murderers who have been sentenced to the death penalty. Or are terrorists killing Jews.
Sure these Christians ideas are beyond what the halacha is, but I would say that it is clearly way less so from the abortion celebrators and those who promote euthanasia. But Old King Obama wa in favor, so now its toiras lukshen mewashington.
AAQ,
You asked the following about wearing shatnez suit:
“maybe I missed the answer to the question – can I just take the jacket off for davening?”
Really. And you always ask questions?
Dorah,
1) Many communities, much smaller in size than even Cleveland or Baltimore have people who check shatnez. Either as sample takers which they forward to a lab or they are fully trained.
2) You are now creating a new heter to wear shatnez if you live in a small community?
Dorah,
You are going with “Some of my best friends are Jewish” defense for Mr. Hymietown? Jesse Jackson is a bigot. No different than Al Sharpton. Who are championed by the democrats because they are the “right type” of bigots.
DaMoshe,
How many town tell people how to dress. I’ve been in many predominantly Jewish towns here in the US and in only one place was the a “request”. It’s not all over the place. And that was by KJ, where i don not think you will find any non Jew who lives there. I doubt you are so worked up by another place that has dress protocols. Such as Jackets only, or no shirt no service.
As far as school boards, you seem so knowledgeable, what do you think actually happened in Ramapo? People exercising their right to representation? You sound like Peggy Hatton, who alleged that every Jew is a predator and then brough an actual registered s-x offender to “guard” against Jews. I know, because I saw this with my own eyes. This was clearly a case of blaming victims of vile antisemitism. You certainly didn’t hear any of ths from R Bender.Edited
Funnybone, i think it also interacts with the compressor cycles as it relates to opening and closing. I believe they suggest not to leave on Shabbos mode long term. I think I did read somewhere that Shabbos mode turns off, at least on some models, after 3days.
If not for Ishay Ribo saying a kapittel of tehilim, the only mention of G-D was from the christians (getting their “can we get an Aymehn” responded to).there is another part of the hagadah, shfoch chamascha el hagoyim asher lo yedoucha, which seemed to be in play here, unfortunately.
Seek out a Rabbi to issue Ketubah? A ketubah is written in conjunction with marriage. So it would be went to a rabbi to perform the marriage. Also “rings”. There is one ring if done correctly. The glass is not a meakev. I find it inconceivable that a knowledgeable orthodox rabbi would perform a marriage if the parties had no intentions to actually be married. This would likely result in mamzeirut. Or sofek makzeirut at the minimum. Best bet, you are a troll.
Holding,
Maybe he’s tried shibuta.
Dorah,
Not surprisingly you misunderstood what Rocky was saying (albeit jokingly). He was saying this is new to litvish shuls. In Lita they did not sing lecha dodi. He was jokingly saying that it should be banned in litvish kehilos. Not because it is litvish, but because it isn’t. Now you will see why your comment does not seem to make sense. It’s like too much herring got to you.
I cannot take too seriously anything about Mesorah from someone who by definition denies the whole concept of Mesorah.
I just saw a thread where people wrote about items paid for but rarely or hardly used. The responses ran the gamut, but along the lines of a wedding dress or similar.
A person who is described as a musmach of YU, a member of the RCA and a member of their ethics panel responded that a yeshiva education is paid for but is rarely used. And another MO individual agreed with that.
I do not know what to make of that. I cannot belive that is actually the attitude of MO.
I do not think anyone would consider RSR’H as what is today’s modern orthodox.
There is a very distinct difference between Torah Im Derech Eretz (TIDE) and Torah Umaada (TU). TIDE calls for secular studies to accompany Torah, but the clear and absolute primacy belongs to Torah. TU equates both on the same level. The actual terms used clearly describe the differences, which are vast.
Jealousy is really not an attractive trait.
And here I thought you were going differentiate between being a Jew and actually acting Jewish.
Not sure which circles you are in, it seems to be standard practice where I have been going to shul.
GH,
I assume like everyone else, you saw the video. So you might want to explain why you say the person was shlepping this child. No such thing happened.
Dora,
Are you accusing Chareidi politicians in EY, of “travel on shabbos or eat at locations serving treifus” Do you have a factual basis to allege this?
NoMesora,
Your comment makes sense for someone who says he has no value for mesorah. It is also why it is not surprosing why you make such incorrect comments.
I bet you have no idea why there is a cherem. There were clearly defined reasons and myriad examples. Primarily that the “pirush” veers unapologetically from mesorah.
Perhaps Eretz Yisroel. Not Israel.
Bavel?
Coffee Addict,
Do you think Gdorah’s problem is the food? No, it is the Chassidim. He sees Chasidim and its bad.
User176,
Yontef is typically how it referred to in Yiddish. SO while you are you are Thinking of the Hebrew Yom Tov, Yontef or Yontif is not incorrect.
Many people rent apartments from those who can use the extra funds, they pay for 10-12 days amounts that can cover 1/2 year rent. Or more.
They directly help in a very significant way people who need the money.
A good thing. Can you imagine that if there were a law suit and the lawyers brought up comments from some of the so called intellectual and enlightened commenters here?
“like getting paid for transportation “regardless of distance to school”
That’s actually the law in NYS outside of NYC. That transpiration is provided regardless of distance.
Marxism
“It’s funny how Yaffed came from an ex-Chasid and not a Litvak”
I refer to my comment about failure being because of their own failings.
All his multiple siblings are thrilled with the existing system.
I expect you to reference footsteps YMS as well.
It is a fallacy to state that the Chassidish Moisdos have a failing education system.
Their systems is well developed and they very successfully teach their children tons. Children come out knowing what they need to live life, including as a Jew. Additionally, these schools teach children responsibility for their community. With a focus on responsibility, and not just focus on “rights”.
SO the issue is not about education, it is about what the schools teach. And the DOE and the liberals clearly want to control that. No matter how good the education is.
And that is what Yaffed wants. Not to help anybody. That is complete and utter hogwash. Which is crystal clear from the Molesters public comments and statements.
It is an easy in to start with the Cassidim because they look different and even talk different. But the intention is to force all sort of anti Torah and anti Halachic subjects in all Yeshivas.
And that is why this is an issue. No Marxist, it is not the Chassidim’s fault. This has been the goal and they are the canaries in the mine for this.
Marxist,
Spoken like a rabid marxist. VDA’L.
Ubiq.
“Some would argue drug addicts too have a right to education.
Moreover the reason WHY they are drop outs and nebachs, is because the system failed them, which is by design.”They have a right to education, however their failures are because of their drug addictions, not because of the “system”. Their education system works for the overwhelming majority of their students. There is no evidence to even consider that the failures, resulting in nebachs are greater in their system. Compare to many LWMO, where more than 50% are no longer shomer Shabbos, (vchol hanilveh al zeh) once they hit college. I cant speak to drug use other than what a coworker who had gone through such schools and he said it was “ubiquitous”. You want to talk about providing for those who are slipping or not doing well in the system because of whatever issue, those need to be addressed individually.
One of the great real estate moguls is living rent free in a very vacant area.
The amount of baseless anti a specific poster here specifically on tisha B’Av speaks much more about those posters than Mr. UJM. Vdal
None of the places above are for rooms, they are campgrounds for tents. With shared bathrooms. And I wonder how good their Wifi is. Once you get into rooms or renting a tent, it is hardly so cheap.
You can check out motels in Ellenville, where there are minyanim year round.
It seems cheaper than Liberty or Monticello.
Jackk,
Neither bail reform (letting multiple/mass offenders out without bail) nor the right to abortion at anytime for any reason are rights in the constitution.
Not even Roe V. Wade, ever said that abortion at any time for any reason is a constitutional right.
I wonder why someone who lies with such alacrity would refer to them as any sort of gadol.
N0mesorah
Perhaps ponder for a moment why the Halacha is so. Did you really think I was advocating burning down the internet?
It is clear from the mesorah we have from gedolie poskim such as the mechaber is that you should not from such books.
But, your answer is that it’s on a screen. Very elegant.
It does say in the gemara that “sefer Torah shekosvoi min yisoref”.
Its easy enough to look up the halacha. See what poskim say, not gadolhadorah.
Mamzola,
Perhaps your temple misused the funds. Don’t project your dishonesty on others.
How much money do you think the grants were? How many places do you think got them? How much of the actual cost do you think such grants covered? Do you have clue what security costs? You could read Rabbi Benders letter where he says they are spending $350,000 annually just on security guards. That is far from all covered by grants.
Dorah,
It certainly seems that would be a step up from who you currently consult with or follow.
jakkk,
What issue is there for a nochri to eat Rocky Mountain Oysters? Who said they are ever min hachay?
Jackkk,
“Republicans hate safety laws.” I think word you are looking for is over regulation. No republican has issues with monitoring safety of formula and the like. You are being dishonest. However regulations like labels saying “known to cause cancer in the state of California” is what Democrats are all about. Nonsense that is only there to harrass people.
Regardless, a leader should have been able to make facilities and supplies available to ramp up production, and should have made sure laws to prosecute those stealing formula from stores to sell on ebay and the like. Not just let them loot stores wholesale.
@Common Syachel
No, the comment thread is about unusual professions for frum Jews. I did not see anything about muttar or ossur nor did opine on what is mutter or ossur, either for a plastic surgeon or for people looking to undergo such surgeries. Accordingly, my comment stands, it would seem that it would be clear to someone who really had common sense that AAQ was referring to specific type of plastic surgeon.
Common Saychel,
I think using common saychel someone would understand that @AAQ was referring to those Plastic Surgeons who do elective enhancements as their practice.
I know that it is a D&C. Someone else referred to it as a “DNC”. Which actually is the Democratic National Committee. And that is clearly an abortion.
At least it is not like those with No Mesorah fress away at a seudas Achashveirosh like super bowl parties.
Yserbius,
I think it is without question that the DNC is an abortion. Certainly under the radical membership therein.
