Jothar, you are using a WIDE brush to paint an entire group of people of whom a small minority MIGHT ascribe the belief you mentioned. I can’t tell you what to think. But I believe you are wrong, very wrong despite all your “kushyos” on the movement as a whole.
“do you think it is kind of questionable for a leader of one group to take on the title of the leader of the whole generation?”
You think he gave himself these titles?
Which of the 13 Ikkarim does appending shlita after a dead person violate?
I dont think the skew is left or right. Rather, those smart enough, know to stay away from anonymous online forums.
I have a personal chumra not to be machmir.
The Chofetz Chaim had a suit ready to put on to greet Moshiach, they have banners hung ready to greet him. What are YOU actively doing to greet Moshiach who you undeniablely believe can come before I press “send post”.
Is there something wrong with the term “Nesi Doro”? Who do you expect a chabadnik to referr with such a title, if not the Lubavitcher Rebbe of that time, the Belzer Rebbe? The Kovo Rav? Why are you up in arms over their use of the term?
I wonder what the very same sicha says, when learned directly from likutei sichos and not from a pamphlet that has an agenda.
Perhaps he was checking out your cart to see if you were loading up on things that indicate you will be eating your shabbos and yom tov meals home, alone, and was thinking of extensing an invitation.
Perhaps his Rav said to throw out his iopd, blackberry and cell phone, leaving him bored with little else to do, so he decided to play a game called spot everything that starts with the letter M in that guys cart.
Perhaps he was really bored, but also very shy and wouldn’t strike up a conversation and was hoping you might give him shalom and strike up a conversation and instead was left wondering why you were looking at him with a negative expression on your face.
“It was Ecuador, not Peru (and not all natives of South America were Inca).”
I remember him discussing the country named “peru” which with hindsite would be the incas. Perhaps you have read it more recently that I, and remember ecuador. I don’t recall stating that all natives of SA are Incas, but if you inferred that, I’ll try to be more careful next time.
Go to seforimonline.org and look for the sefer “mikveh yisroel” by R’ Menashe ben Israel about 350-400 years ago written at the height of the exploration of the “new world” where he addresses the claim that some Inca Indians found in Peru are from the “lost tribes”. Is a fascinating read.
Only a jerk leaves before the final amen of the last kaddish. No, I don’t have a source for this statement, but perhaps the guy who called you a jerk does.
I can emphasize with both sides.
I don’t know what your friend does or the type of business he works for. Perhaps it is the type of business where the frum owner doesn’t make much money either since very few people conduct this type of business on yom tov or chol hamoed and the owner can’t afford to pay employees when the business is not operational.
On the other hand, not getting paid for 2 weeks is not an easy thing to deal with either.
Has this employee spoken with the employer about their Rosh Hashana agreement and why the terms were changed?
Situations such as these (no matter the religious affiliation of the employer or employee) are why an employment agreement should be in place.
What terms were agreed upon when he took the job?
We should be clear here. Fun City is NOT a restaurant. It is an indoor amusement park that sells food and drinks from a concession stand. There is no reason to assume that the kosher and non kosher food is sold from the same “stand” and there is no reason to assume that just because Fun City is open on shabbos the kosher concession stand is also open on shabbos. But why speculate, call the Rav Hamachshir. 90 seconds of internet browsing and you will find contact information for Fun City, The Rav Hamachshir and even a brief bio of the Rav Hamachshir.
“Hevi dun es kol ha’odom li’kaf zechus…”
And this is not li’kaf zchus, how?
Sounds to me like your husband doesn’t know how to say (or is embarrassed to say), “I like it when you wear perfume, please do so more often”.
To the OP:
“There is a new amusement place in the Palisades Center named Fun City. They have an add in the local Monsey add paper that the pizza there is Cholov Yisroel and Pas Yisroel under the supervision of Rav Asher Schechter.”
Please reread the ad, and then reread your opening statement. Does the ad claim the pizza is under the hecsher of Rav Schechter or does the ad state they have a kosher concession stand that sells kosher pizza that is pas yisroel and that the concession stand is under the supervision of Rav Schechter. It should not take a Pinkerton detective to figure this out.
Then, please answer if the KOSHER concession stand is open on shabbos, OR is Fun City open for business on shabbos and selling concessions from its NON Kosher concession stand where no kashrus claims are made. If the KOSHER concession stand is open on shabbos, please tell us how you know this?
“Unmasking unreliable hechsherim is also a mitzvah and those who give dubious hechsherim are machshil es harabim.”
Are you implying this is the case in this particular instance?
“How can pas yisroel be guaranteed on Shabbos?”
I’m not so sure, those ordering pizza on shabbos are overly concerned about this.
“I doubt anyone serious about kashrut will trust them.”
Akuperma. I doubt you meant to cast aspersions on the Rav Hamachshir, but you did. HE obviously trusts them.
“Which Is The Best Internet Filtering System?”
The off switch.
This is a shayla for your Rav, if the halacha is not clear to you (this halacha is discussed…I don’t remember what the SA says).
“There is a new amusement place in the Palisades Center named Fun City.”
The mall is open on shabbos. How is this Poretz Geder? Is this store open on “main st.” In Monsey?
” They have an add in the local Monsey add paper that the pizza there is Cholov Yisroel and Pas Yisroel under the supervision of Rav Asher Schechter.”
Those who have concerns, can call Rav Schechter and see if/how he addresses them.
MM: Did your Rav speak to Rav Schechter? The store owner? Do you truly believe that that either Rav Schechter (I know neither and have never heard of this Rav, until this thread) or the store are deliberately concealing that they are either owned by non jews and/or open on Shabbos?
I think R’ Moshe addresses this in the Igros (as do, I am sure, other poskim). I dont know his answer, but I do know that a major point of discussion is the question, for a dvar r’shus (such as a trip to the park) may you put yourself in a situation where you will not have a succah (or be able to perform other mitzvos).
Any concerns with a hashgacha should be aired with the rav hamachshir first, not the coffee room. If the answers of the rav hamachshir dont sit well with you, (or even if they do), speak to your own Rav, not the coffee room. The Chaf K is a sponsor of the CC Heritage Foundation Tisha Bav Shmiras Halashon videos and their tag line is be as careful with what comes out of your mouth as what goes in. Was the Rav Hamachshir contacted? Did you consult your own Rav?
Wait a second, NO Pizza shops in Krakow? Was there at least a Sushi place?
Is there a din of donut or pizza shenisalem min hayain that concerns some? So, they are open on shabbos. The Rav Hamachshir presumably is aware of this fact.
Not every Rav Hamachshir or kashrus agency will give a hechsher on anyone open for business on shabbos, however, many legitimate ones do.
Lastly, Monsey Mom, if you have concerns regarding the kashrus, contact the Rav Hamachshir, surely the establishment has contact information for him. Why post this on YWN, what do you hope to gain from giving over this information?
If your a male, go for it, just leave your peyos.
Don’t some chassidishe women shave their head after the chasuna (or is that an urban legend)? What do their poskim hold about an obligation to cover their head after they do so? This might be “Boich svara” but, is it possible that the “fuzz” still has to be covered since chazal didn’t specify a length to hair that must be covered?
“Ideas for learning for Rav Elyashiv refua shelama”
Anything. Especially if you do that learning when you would otherwise be doing something as “useful” as posting a message in the CR.
I thought one rapped with the homies, but never talked with them. Live and learn.
So, why does the average yeshiva bachur need a cell phone?
Why does the average bachur in BMG (or any yeshiva for that matter) need a cell phone, even without texting capability?
I didn’t dive very deep for this thought.
If he who is without sin is invited over for dinner by the guy who lives in the glass house, does all heck break loose?
The question is not one of “why”, rather one of practical application.
These are the relevant words of the Tur in Siman Ayin Gimmel. Just prior to these words he is discussing what the husband is obligated to give his wife (clothing, household needs) and then discusses the difference betwene an ani and ashir. He then writes why it is important for his wife to have the appropriate attire to go out (I hope the copy and paste comes out clean and readable)….

I am not a posek by any stretch of the imagination. How to practically understand the words of the Tur, consult your Rav. On the one hand he says clearly there are legitimate needs for a woman to go out and even makes the statement she is not in prison, yet he continues that she should not be accustomed to going out often. The nosei keilim (both the Prisha and Beis Yosef) attribute the comments of the Tur to various midrashim and perhaps gemaras as well (its not clear to me).
I’m surprised the “moshe rose like” commenter didn’t jump all over the statement of the SA regarding “Redid” and advocate burqas for all frum women 🙂
NYers aren’t rude OOTers are overly sensitive 😉
I always thought “anim zemiros vishirim eherog” was a reference to the chazzans singing talents, now I see it might be a reference to his pronunciation.
At the time of the 2000 census, Manhattan had a population density of more than 66,000 people per square mile. Brooklyn just under 35,000. They ranked number 1 and 5 respectively as the most densely populated counties in the country. Add in the number of daily visitors who come to work or as tourists. That is a lot of people trying to share not a lot of space. (The Bronx and Queens were also in the top 8 spots). Despite that, NYC and its surroundings are home to some of the largest and greatest chessed organizations around. I think those who malign NYers are just jealous that they are not NYers.
“It’s obvious from SA to rather take tzedaka than go out.”
This is implied in 73:1?
73:6 (Siman Vav) clearly contradicts this. Of course a woman has a right to be mochel any “rights” guaranteed by her kesuba, and I suppose the children can be mochel whatever support the father is obligated in too, but the question then becomes, should the wife/mother become the breadwinner (which 73:1 comment of the Tur surely would not be happy with, I think) or should the family rely on tzedaka? You have paskened take tzedaka. What is your source for this psak?
“Taryag” is lashon nikeivah?
Perhaps they “Davka” mispronounce words because they never learned proper pronunciation.
Again. Please define “ultra”.
I dont believe “some figure”.
Please define “ultra”.
I am a close relative of someone who works very closely with these teens at one of the popular organizations that works with such teens. This is not strictly a MO problem.
10 hours.
“Mainly in the MO community”
If you think this is true you either have your head in the sand or a bone to pick with “mo”.
TOI. “wall street women” may very well be committed to a career. It does not mean they are not committed to their family. People juggle many commitments quite successfully. My main objection to the OP (or her friend) is the very broad brush used to swipe whole groups of people with one quick stroke. i dont understand how “they”. why dont “those who”…
The newest volume of Igros Moshe has an interesting teshuva about Touro College for Women. It is the every last teshuva in the hashkafa section (right before the teshuvos of his brother R’ Mordechai Z’l). Lest I be accused of misquoting or misinterpreting, I suggest the OP (and her friend) read it for themselves.
I’m not labeling them feminists. That’s my point.
The store was in back of his home and people didn’t realize the store belonged to the CC? Did he go into the real estate business?
I guess I’ll chalk it up to a kasha af a maaseh.
A school principle is also a “career woman”.
“When the people from Radin discovered that the store belonged to the Chofetz Chaim they all shopped there. In order that the other shopkeepers shouldn’t lose out, once he made the money that he needed to survive for that day, he would have his wife close the store. In total his store was open for maybe 2-3 hours daily. All in all, his store was opened for maybe 5 years. I’m sorry if it doesn’t fit into your modern Hashkofos.”
From this citation is would appear that the Rebbetzin ran the store, not the CC himself. Was the Rebbetzin of the feminist bent that she held a job? What was she doing outside the home?
