The question is not, does it help to have a tzadik speak to hashem on your behalf, but, how much is it worth for you to have the tzadik speak to hashem on your behalf. If $36, pledge.
Please a) quote the shulchan aruch that is relevant here and b)apparently these extenuating circumstances are legitimate enough that despite whatever shulchan aruch you might quote Roshei Yeshiva are willing to not only look the other way, but actively employ these women for their own offices.
El Al planes do not land in Isreal. Their planes land in Israel.
A point to consider. Many women start “school” and “work” before they have children and almost always before they are even engaged, let alone married.
Are you proposing that all those years of schooling go for naught? Are you suggesting that all jewish females enroll in a full time seminary until the day they have their first child?
It is nice quote pie in the sky sentiment. It is quite another to offer something practical.
Please offer something concrete.
Teshuva, Tefilla, Tzedaka Mavirin es roah hagizera.
You do teshuva yourself, you dont pay anyone to do it for you (nor can you), so, daven yourself and give whatever amount of tzedaka you can, to any worthy cause.
Chazal never stipulated that only tefilla by specific tzadikim, or specific amounts of money will be mavir es hagizerah.
“gavra, the position you attribute to the RY of Lakewood is incorrect.”
I would have to assume the Roshei Yeshiva Shlita of BMG have no issues with married women with small children working outside the home. They employ married women with small children in their own offices.
“A woman’s place is at home.”
I wonder what every female who teaches in every pre school, elementary school, high school and seminary has to say about this? Once we have their response, we can then ask every married woman who works in a Yeshiva office what their reply is. We can then ask every Yeshiva administrator who employs married women in his yeshiva office what their answer is, or perhaps we can ask the Roshei Yeshiva of these very same yeshivos what their reply is.
“A woman’s place is defined in the Torah and commentaries. It is at home, not at work.”
Please quote one.
Did Rav Kook write his teshuva regarding E”Y or a country like the United States?
Either way, I prefer that I am the only vote allowed, so that I will always get my way. Unfortunately, others disagree with me.
Olam hafuch raissi kan. I took PBA seriously, and still think Aries is pulling our leg.
I am really curious how the OP believes a women with children should spend every waking hour of her day? The implication is that if she does anything or has an interest in anything other than to take care of the children or the household she is a feminist.
Some janitors make a lot of money (see NYC school custodians for example). I just never knew any jewish janitors.
Its interesting when a reporter quoted Obama exactly in a speech to the NAACP where he dropped his “gs” and said words like workin, payin and the like, the reporter was branded a racist for not “cleaning up” the speech. The reporter for his part stated he felt Obama purposely dropped the gs to make a point and he quoted him that wayto report the point being made.
Selective reporting (*nd when and over what to make a tumult) by the likes of CNN is what keeps folks like honest reporting in business.
Ask the Dr. to have a look at it. Perhaps it is cellulitis. If it is, nothing short of an antibiotic will clear it. You don’t want c”v that it should spread.
“They have no choice!”
sure they do. the husband can take on a first, or even a second job. jewish men have been doing so since avraham avinu raised cattle. the chofetz chaim spent a few hours helping his wife in the store. the battle for the man has always been how to balance his torah and his ol parnassa. If his wife accepts this role upon herself, good for her, it does not mean it is the ideal.
Go to a DR. Infections are never a good sign, especially those that last more than 7 days.
My wife was advised by her DR to clean the posts on her earrings with rubbing alcohol every 4-6 weeks, since you never know what has built up there over time. Are you always sure to touch your ear lobes with clean hands, even if you are wearing “real” jewelry? It was also suggested that every so often she dip the posts into bacitracin or neosporin before putting her earring back on since it could never hurt and you never know what might just be inside that opening.
One does not have to spend an entire year in E”Y to visit and daven at mekomos hakedoshim, or “experience” eretz yisroel. yes, e”y is special and one can grow just from being there. Conversely, one can sink to great depths. The greater the kedusha, the stronger the corresponding forces of tuma (no, I dont have a source for it, but I hearn R’ Mopdechai Finkelman shlita, say this in the name of chazal, a number of times). Unbridled freedom, thousands of miles away from parents can be a recipe for disaster for many boys, and girls.
“if a woman CHOOSES this life”
Isn’t she then assuming the mans tafkid? Isnt that what the OP is railing against?
I’m trying to determine what the toeles there is to this thread.
Your sure princess di was jewish? Adam sandler doesn’t mention her in either hanukah song.
I’m still trying to figure out if sammy davis jr was jewish.
We are all one big happy dysfunctional family.
“Where would you take a tiyul to”
She could go on a 6 week tour of E”Y and tiyul to her hearts content, while saving her parents most of that 21k. If any of my children ever told me they wanted to go to E”Y for yeshiva or seminary and used “tiyul” as an argument, I would sign them up for a 6 week tour and enroll them in a local yeshiva/seminary.
The 70s? Who wants to remember disco and bell bottoms? 🙂
Maybe if you are hallmark.
R’ Ahron Rapps? He is a big talmid chacham. Bachurim seem to like him. He has a column in the Yated. I know nothing about the yeshiva.
Rotary phones. Rubiks cubes.
Those technologicaly advanced 5.25″ floppy disks.
Asteroids, Q-bert, dig-dug and frogger.
I set you up for that one 🙂
Whatever it is, they were murdered and today is their yahrtzeit. Their neshamos should have an aliya. They should all be a meilitz yosher for their families and for all klal yisroel.
The Artscroll siddur (the original version with the square nekudos – I know that might sound funny and yes, there was some negativity towards the siddur in part due to the square nekudos).
Wayne Gretzky literally obliterating every offensive record in hockey.
I missed the but.
T-Shirt seen on an obese person. “I beat anorexia”.
I’m confused. You go because it has a water park, but only go when the water park is closed?
If all the people who were sick of NY moved away from NY, it will make me much happier. Less grouchy people to deal with on a daily basis.
“you have to go online to ohr naava’s website to register.”
You could send them a postcard with your name and hours pledged.
The death of Ma Bell and the birth of the “baby bells”.
In theory, it should be easier to keep these devices off after a three day yom tov, because you already did it for three days and your world didnt collapse. A Rebbe of mine stopped smoking after a three day yom tov (he figured he held off for three days and his world didnt come to an end, he held off another day, then another and it is 20 years later and he is still holding out).
It is about redeveloping a relationship with the world around you. That can include your family, if you dont have a family, you have a social group that you belong to (yeshiva, school, shul, work etc.). It is about being part of the world that you belong to, instead of detached from it absorbed in your laptop, music, phone, messaging device etc.
Did you see either of the 2 videos Ohr Naava put out promoting this?
I think you missed the point, if you think it is about family.
the mujhadeen who drove out the soviets were a mishmash of many afghan tribes (including many who lived in the mountainous regions of pakistan who joined up to help drive the soviets out). with the soviets out, what we call today the taliban emerged as the strongest of the groups and took control of the country. it did not happen overnight. the soviets withdrew in 1989, by 1991, the taliban were running the asylum.
You can pledge in 1 hr increments.

“new” coke.
The US supported what later became known as the taliban in afghanistan in their fight against the soviets. (in the 80s they were called mujhadeen – freedom figheters).
We leave the car to the mechanic and the yard to the gardener.
When sony introduced the walkman, I remember one Rosh Yeshiva railing against bachurim who walked around all day “with those keilim in their ears”.
Buying a roll of subway/bus tokens to get to yeshiva because I was 1/10 of a mile to close to the yeshiva to get a bus pass.
When my parents bought a new car that came a cassette player. Boy, were we cutting edge.
The olympic boycotts.
Mike Eruzione (captain of the 1980 gold medal usa hockey team) telling president carter, “sir, I’m no hero, I’m just a hockey player”.
The Miller Lite commercials (taste great, less filling – especially the one with billy martin and george steinbrenner)
How many frum men do you see changing the oil in their car or replacing sparkplugs? 🙂
Neither is all chewing gum. What is your point?
In NYC. Squeegee men at major intersections. Time out games. The worst possible thing you could do in yeshiva was be caught with baseball cards. Nobody heard of sushi. Abe Stark ice skating rink in Coney Island. Pirchei trips on Chol Hamoed Asbury Park. When we went to sleepaway camp, the trip to camp WAS the major trip.
“What was the point that the rosh yeshiva wanted to make?”
I interpret the lesson as “dont be a tzadik on your wifes cheshbon”.
What in sam hill is going on in beit shemesh? how did this get from rioting over a girls school to pushing people out of a community?
