@ujm: I’m well aware of that. However, there are also many, many families who cannot trace back past 1-2 generations before the Holocaust. I consider myself lucky that I B”H can trace my family back to just before the Haskalah started. Also what YYA said, which is why I responded to you in the first place, because I am aware of those Halachos in Yore De’ah.
Let me guess, you’re casting doubt on my Jewishness because (1) I disagree with you over one issue – the State of Israel, and (2) because of a deleted thread where I defended a so-called “Conservative Rabbi” who wasn’t actually Conservative, and called out Artscroll for slander. That isn’t a good reason.
Grow up.
@YYA: That is true and I tend to agree with you. Usually you don’t find Chassidim on the internet, but there are exceptions. As it happens, I do question just how Yeshivish/Chassidish ujm, HaKatan and somejewiknow actually are (I increasingly believe they are either flame throwing secular, OTD or MO trolls posing as Yeshivish). However, I unfortunately have had nothing but really bad interactions with Satmar and Vizhnitz Chassidim.
@GadolHadofi: Could be. More likely he just didn’t like me calling him out.
