What is faster. to chicago or by bus?

let her wear pants to school.

let the school psychologist deal with it.

The sad reality is that the men use the get as leverage against the women and the women in turn use the kids as leverage against the men. all sides run to the beis din they feel will be most sympathetic to their cause, and not necessarily because it is a beis din with a reputation for expertise in halacha (this is true in monetary cases as well). the concept of toanim further escalates the situation into a circus where nobody is interested in the halacha, just sticking it to the other party and drags the case on for as long as they can, to further stick it to the other party. as a tzibbur we made our bed, now we have to lay in it, as filthy as it is.

they dont make money from the machine. they make money from the sale of the k-cups (coffee, iced tea and anything they put in those little cups these days). is why you see advertised in every pharmacy “free meters” (whether for diabetes or other home testing requirements). the money is in the supplies, not the machine.

For horses they have spurs.

Being nice to your spouse is also a segula for shalom bayis.

Thanks for the info on tagim.

Something to keep leitzonim like you in line.

If I had wheels, I could have been a bicycle.

This entire thread is based on hearsay. Why dont you first verify that R’ Chaim actually said what they claim he said.

or maybe he is wearing a pair of tzitzis that is too large for his frame.

Speaking of Jewish publishing. I recently saw a sefer that was “printed in China”. Is this the new trend?

Lets work on ahavas yisroel of confirmed MOTs before trying to look for more.

“but much of this thread seems to be posts from Ashkenazim who want to make themselves feel righteous for defending the kavod of Sephardim.”

I dont see much in the way of defending kavod sefardim in this this thread. Looks to me like there is much in the way of defending the kavod of two decidely non sefardic communities from the vitriol of someone hell bent on sowing seeds of divisiveness under the guise of defending the honor or the Rav Z’l.

The Rav Z’l was a true oheiv yisroel, and there are those sowing seeds of discord using his kavod hatorah as the excuse. That is the true bizayon.

attack the school, its personnel and way of doing things all you want. at the end of the day, if you disagree with their educational philosophies, and their methods of carrying them out, dont send your kids to the school. if you do, you have no one to blame, but yourself.

Yes. It is called taking the initiative. Im ain ani li, mi li.

Klal yisroel has always had very capable leaders. We still do. How many willing followers do we have? Once upon a time when a Rav said something it was respected. Now his words are parsed by every two bit “scholar” who isnt afraid to state his or her opinion on the subject, anonymously of course, on forums such as this.

Rebbetzin Zahava Braunstien a’h related a story that took place with the Bobover Rebbe, Rav Shlomo Z’l that directly relates to the topic at hand.

The story goes that a certain chassid started relationships with people other chassidim considered “not appropriate”. They tried to dissuade him of these relationships and when unsuccessful, approached the Rebbe who advised them to let him look into the matter and deal with it as necessary. On the appointed day, this chasid came into the Rebbe and they discussed the importance of good chaverim in general and these chaverim and the nature of these chaverim specifically… after some discussion in which the chassid tried to explain his association with these chaverim, something which the Rebbe disagreed with, the Rebbe took another approach. The Rebbe asked him, (of course he said it in yiddish, I am paraphrasing in english), tell me please, what does “usmager” mean. The chassid replied with a blank stare. Again, “Nuuuuu what does usmager mean?” Again, the same blank stare. Once again the Rebbe asked, “usmager, come on, you daven shmone esrei three times a day, in the bracha of vilamalshinim, we say vihazeidim, miheira siaker, usishaber, usmager…tell me please what does usmager mean”. The chassid replied, I dont know. To which the Rebbe replied, in truth I dont either know, but, from his chaverim in the passuk I know it isnt something good. He got the message.

The miracle on ice.

“is it muttar for a ben torah to have a coversation with his female cousins?”

Does he want to discuss a Ketzos or a Ramban in Trei Asar?

If there are no kids, I could see there not being tension. If there were, every day would bring more tension, especially for the kids getting mixed messages from the 2 people they look up to the most.

“First of all, not all families follow the man-breadwinner woman-homemaker model. It used to be that more yeshivish families were MORE likely to use this model, and now, as more men are being encouraged to learn full-time, even yeshivish women are taking on responsibilities of parnassah. Therefore, the clothing may in many situations be funded by the woman’s work, not the man’s.”

1: What I was referring to was “Dad, can I use your credit card to buy a new whatever”, as a parent in that situation he should say as long as it conforms to this families standards of tznius, if not, it is going back. The mother of the family has a right to the same. I am not getting into family dynamics where one spouse uses his or her position as the breadwinner to withold purchases from the other. Tznius is the least of this couples problems.
