I heard of a girls high school that allows the girls to take “personal days”.
Yes, but who said that 🙂
There are many facts missing from this anecdote.
anyone care to translate some of these roshei teivos for those of us born before 1970?
“Are you so certain that it’s a violaton of dina d’malchusa dina??”
I dont know about the law in Lakewood, but I suppose one can look it up. If this incident took place in NYC…..
(On street Parking) (4) Parking prohibited. When parking is prohibited by signs or rules, no person shall stop a vehicle, attended or unattended, except temporarily for the purpose of and while expeditiously receiving or discharging passengers or loading of unloading property to or from the curb.
(A) Such person is, or is transporting, a handicapped permittee and displays a state special vehicle identification permit issued by the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles or
(C) Such vehicle displays a special license plate or parking permit issued by any governmental entity subject to the laws of the United States, or a foreign country for the purpose of granting special parking privileges to people with disabilities.
(ii) Handicapped plates or permits issued by New York State or by any other state, district, territory or other governmental entity or foreign country shall be valid only in designated off-street parking areas. They are not valid in on-street parking areas.
(o) Permits. For purposes of this section, a “permit” is the authorization granted by the Department to qualified individuals for special parking privileges as set forth in this subdivision. At the discretion of the Department, a permit may be represented by a permit card inscribed with information that describes the specific parking privileges it authorizes or by an IVPS programmed to contain the same information. Where this rule states that a permit must be displayed in the vehicle, a permittee using a permit card must place it in the appropriate place in a vehicle; a permittee using an IVPS must activate the system before so displaying it, in order to authorize parking pursuant to the permit. The registration numbers of the electronic component, the electronic debit card, and all related windshield stickers comprising an IVPS must match in order for such system to be considered properly activated.
(1) Permits for people with disabilities. (i) Authorized parking areas. An operator of a vehicle bearing a valid New York City Special Parking Identification permit may park:
(A) in any “No Parking” zone, including those marked “except authorized vehicles,”
(B) in any “No Standing Except Authorized Vehicles” zone,
(C) at parking meters without using an authorized payment method, and
(D) in “No Standing Except Trucks Loading and Unloading” zones.
Such special parking permit shall be displayed so that it is visible through the windshield. An IVPS must be activated to authorize parking.
(ii) Prohibited parking areas. Such special parking identification permits do not authorize parking:
(A) in a bus stop,
(B) in a taxi-stand,
(C) within 15 feet of a fire hydrant,
(D) in a fire zone,
(E) in a driveway,
(F) in a crosswalk,
(G) in a no stopping zone,
(H) in a no standing zone, or
(I) double parking.
No links.
The City of NY hosts a website that contains the entire administrative code that governs the city. If you ever have a need to board a pedicab and want to know where it is legal to do so, the administrative code is the place to go.
The relevant link for blocking a private driveway of a single or 2 family dwelling is here http://72.0.151.116/nyc/AdCode/Title19C1_19-169.asp?zoom_highlight=blocking+a+driveway
If you want to park in front of the shul, ask the shul to petition the city for a “no parking except authorized vehicles” sign to replace the current “no parking anytime” sign and then head over to pbas house where he/she will be happy to sell you a placard with such authorization for $500. I’m sure he/she will argue that all yidden have a right to visit the ribbono shel olam and are authorized.
looks like pba created an alter ego, bpm in order to have a conversation since nobody takes what he/she/it writes seriously.
“You think what the judge did causes sincere respect?”
The judge is not responsible to teach the girl respect. Her parents are. His job is to preserve the dignity and decorum of the courtroom. He did. You didnt see any other kids waiting for their hearing mouth off, offer snarky responses or otherwise treat their court hearing as if it was a trip to the ice cream store, did you?
As for the american legal system. You appear to be stating that since it is not a halachic system, it is a corrupt system that has no legal authority and should not be respected. Please correct me if I misunderstand you.
Research a little more. Just because it is your shkiya, it does not mean it is their shkiya.
“Heimish-What does it mean to you”
Nothing more than, you enjoy a good kokosh cake.
“Don’t get me wrong I cannot stand rude girls like her but that does not give people the right to kidnap her and demand ransom money.”
Are you high on Xanax?
DR. You do not show up to a hearing in court, high, reply to the judges questions with snarky and sarcastic answers and expect to get away with it. when the stupid behavior got her bond doubled she flipped off the judge and cursed him. that got her the 30 days.
for what its worth, the girl was back in court. in front of the same judge. She apologized to the judge and her parents for her outrageous behavior and her sentence was dismissed.
this time, she walked out of court with her lips zipped tightly shut.
is it the torah way to anonymously slam other people?
YY. If you come to my house on purim, I will let you suck on a tissue soaked in wine too.
who cares who he volunteers for or if he volunteers for anyone at all. he is a yid and in need of our tefillos.
The screws go into some sort of hinge. Find out who makes the hinge (the name is usually on it) take a picture of the hinge and send it to them. They can usually tell you what type/size screw goes with it.
Lands End.
“My new shul does mincha/mariv 20 minutes after shkia.”
According to the poskim they rely on, it is not after shkiya.
I though the punchline would be that popa invited the owner of the dog over for shalos seudos to taste the herring.
still laughing
thanks for the laugh
Oink.
You are not making a sheva brachos for your sibling you are making it for the chosson and kalla, your niece and nephew.
You mentioned your siblings. What are the other siblings doing?
“If its just about contempt of court then standard punishment is 24-48 hours.”
No it isnt. Google the name Myron Farber. Or Elizabeth Morgan. President Clinton while serving no jail time, was fined over $90,000 for contempt and faced being disbarred in the state of Arkansas (he bargained it down to surrendering his law license for 5 years).
Someone who is charged with criminal contempt (as was this girl) is guaranteed the same rights as all others charged criminally, including the right to counsel, the right to put on a defense, and the right to a jury trial in certain cases. Charges of criminal contempt must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. However, jail time for contempt can begin immediately, before the contempt charge is adjudicated and the sentence decided.
So, this girl, if she so chooses, can have her day in court. who knows, she might win and sue for lots of money and buy even more jewelry thats worth, you know, lots of money.
Did anyone watch the entire proceedings? the local nbc affiliate has a 5 minute clip of the entire proceedings.
The girl was arrested for possession of “Xanax bars” (prescription drug abuse). She crashed her bike and told the cop she was high on the Xanax. Her appearance in court clearly showed she had zero respect for where she was, the way she answered some questions might lead you to believe she thought the whole thing was a joke (watch the video on the web page of the local nbc affiliate). As she was leaving, in a deragatory manner she told the judge “adios”, he called her back and doubled her bond at which point she uttered the expletive. After the expletive is when he called her back and gave her 30 days. Reminds me of the chris rock video, what to do when pulled over by a cop.
Thank you Sam. Saved me the trouble of heading over to hebrew books, to look for and then copy and paste from a teshuva where he uses the term “rabbi” in reference to members of the reform and conservative clergy.
they might be better off with a policy of designated drinkers.
Power walk for 30 minutes a day. Is healthier than these pills. more effective too.
They should have a nusach ashkenaz bus and a nusach sefard bus. Also, one for nusach ari, edah mizrach and one for the teimanim too.
“I know people who hand out $500 checks to those yeshivos who regularly come to their homes on Purim.”
How many are motivated by the limo and yosemite sam costumes?
What nusach is davened on the bus? whose minhagim are followed? Is the driver allowed to partake in the tikkun if he is part of the minyan?
I heard (am no expert in his teshuvos make such a claim) that R’ Moshe z’l used the term rabbi when referring to members of non orthodox clergy. Orthodox clergy were called Rabbonim.
The title rabbi really means nothing these days. I am routinely called rabbi by the homeless who solicit change outside the building where i work and the kenyan dry cleaner where I have my cleaning done.
Health. I read the entire thing. The father is doing nothing to ensure his kids are raised “normally”. he is using his kids as pawns, nothing more, nothing less. The schools are taking out their fear of the father on the kids too. Why is he in belgium to begin with? what is his connection to belgium?
snowbunny. I have no idea what you are saying.
the single should pick new parents, then look for a partner in life.
“and they are full of kids at risk”
It is probably a lot worse if they are full of alcohol. If you dont want him to go, speak to him about it, then speak to his rosh yeshiva about it and see what his thoughts are. it is also important to know who hired the limo etc…
“Above all, he loved his country, the United States of America,”
“they sit on the ladies side before all the ladies even are all on,”
This is not unique to a bus. The Rav of my shul was very adamant that men not sit in the ezras nashim during the week when ladies are not in shul, yet there are those who persisted in theis behavior. It got to the point where the Rav instructed the shammas not to turn on the lights or the heat in the ezras nashim to “encourage” all the men to sit on the “mens side”. There are still men who go straight to the ezras nashim, and daven in the dark and the cold. I guess they just dont like being in shul. At least they “chap a minyan” on the bus.
Noone is on welfare. Ultimately, the ribbono shel olam is the one who decides who has what. he also arranges the shliach. if he wanted the government to turn you down or otherwise reduce benefits to you, he can have it arranged. nobody has a penny more than they should have, unless they excercise their bechira and obtain it illegally.
“Even he wants his kids to turn out somewhat normal – can you imagine the results of his home schooling?!?!”
Your right. Forcing his sons into an all girls school and his daughters into an all boys school is the way to ensure they turn out “somewhat normal”.
Did dnainfo.com look into the avg test score on the statewide mandated tests (eg regents for high schools), or did the article run with the few choice quotes it got about a “lack of education in yeshivos”. If they did not, I wonder if such data is available to the public. I would also ask them, why not.
“BTW, the word “tikvah” in a congregation’s name almost always means toavah.”
I always thought rayim ahuvim was a euphamism for the same.
The bais yackov has every right to insist these boys wear the school uniform. if they agree, no reason not to let them in. they may never learn how to read a gemara, but they will be experts in tanach and home economics.
So, at the interview, the interviewer introduced him/herself, and said good morning “name on top of resume” and you said?
So, how did you identify yourself on your resume. At the interview? Surely this is not the 1st time you are meeting with a representative of the company.
OOOOOOYYYYYYYYY. Is that good enough?
she is certainly good at whining and complaining.
Just curious. How did you identify yourself on your resume? At your interview? Did you lose your three billy goats gruff?
any true concept can be twisted beyond its original meaning. doesnt mean the original concept is wrong. for clarification speak to someone you look up to for guidance.
