Karlin Stolin doesn’t sing lecha dodi

I can’t explain it but my kids also like these shirts

I think it has something to do with the name brand

But also they can get them super custom fit. I personally would never fit into them.

White reflects heat better than blue. Clearly they felt a person who doesn’t know that isn’t a good fit.

UJM and other critics

I hope you never need an attorney to represent you

I hope you are never injured and get a small tort award

There is a jury system set out in the law for a reason. You think you know better than the jury. Vote with your feet and move to Canada.

Our Shabbos Sheva Brochos was at camp MaNaVu with 1000 people I never met before.

The Chassidishe Kollel and kehillah have integrated nicely. Everyone in Baltimore loves and appreciates the Chassidim. They do daven everywhere but that shows they have integrated. There are at least 4 Chasssidishe shuls like Taubs Eichenstein Kedushas Yisroel Sternhills and a fee other nusach sefard shul as well. ..at least two of the Kollel Yungeleit give shiurim at other shuls in the community and upcoming Lag BaOmer bonfire gets hundreds of attendees across the spectrum.

You are 100% wrong. The QUALITY of life out of town is amazing and anyone who left NY to come to Baltimore as an example raves about the trees, grass, kess traffic, healthy living, excellent mosdos etc etc. There is Chassidishe shechita and cholov Yisroel milk and an eruv everyone holds by.

There are 16 pages of hock and information on ivelt with this title

Baltimore has a full preschool and full girls school and a real cheder.
Vouchers for daycare pay for the daycare costs if the mother works or is in school or otherwise qualifies.

Baltimore has had a Chassidishe Kollel for 8 years. The Mosdos have 150 children bli ayin hora in a daycare (licensed with vouchers), preschool, girls school and cheder up to Kittah Vuv. Chassidishe shechita, solid Eruv and affordable housing. 50 shuls in town including Kedushas Yisroel and the Chassidishe Kollel run by Rav Amrom Jungreis who is the Domet”z in Netai Gavriel Beis Din. They have had over 100 families come for Shabbos and a few dozen are actively looking to buy houses and to move.

United United United!!! Their fresco kosher meals are amazing. They are the only airline that never stopped flying during covid. They fly 2 daily nonstop from Newark and allow minyan.

I use an app called Keepcalling. It’s simple and cheap

There is also a service st onesuite DOT com where they give you a USA number which you can forward to any Israeli phone number.

In Israel they get plans with a USA number already assigned to ring on their phone

I haven’t read this in the original or in the translation. But your own quote doesn’t support your theory.
They MAKE themselves APPEAR poor… but are not poor?
They go about LIKE an impoverished people… but are not actually impoverished?
Yaakov according to meforshim didn’t need food from Mitzrayim but pretended to, so as to not arouse the ire of his countrymen.
Same idea everywhere in Golus. We need to keep a low profile.

Anonymous Jew(hater):
The Vilna Gaon had many different minhogim. As did the Arizal. Why blame Chassidim?

Rashi in Meseches Yevomos68 states that the yartzeit of a tzaddik is a regel, and some poksim say based on this, no tachnun is recited on this day.69

68. 122a “Tulsa.” Refer to Meshmeres Shalom 12:4, Avodas Ephraim 2:pages 510-515 on why some have the custom not to recite tachnun on a yartzeit of a tzaddik. Some say a yartzeit is like a chasuna (ibid). See Kaf Ha’chaim 580:24 who brings that the day of a yartzeit of a tzaddik is a day to fast not a regel. Refer to Shem Aryeh O.C. 14.
69. Meshmeres Shalom ibid, Ketzos Hashulchan 24:badi 19.

Tachanun was never recited at a certain chassidish shteibl; each day was the yahrtzeit of some rebbe. One day, no one could think of a rebbe who had a yahrtzeit. “Whose yahrtzeit is today,” the gabbai asked. No one responded. “I demand that someone tell me which rebbe has a yahrtzeit,” the gabbai shouted. No response. “Do you mean to tell me that not one rebbe ever died on this day?!” the gabbai thundered! Its amazing! What a special day!. “No tachanun! Yisgadal!”

The almost universal minhag of Chassidim is to not say tachanun by mincha. Of course, mincha is typically davened by them at or after shkiah and tachanun isn’t supposed to be said after shkiah.

I can show you the text of tachanun in every nusach Sefard siddur, every siddur used by every Chassidishe Rebbe and by all Chassidim. They do day tachanun regularly. They also have minhagim hundreds of years old to refrain from tachanun on certain days. Lav Davka Mondays and Thursdays. Many Rebbes would ask mohelim to daven elsewhere so the minyan could say tachanun. So yiu are just misinformed. And plain wrong. And motzei laaz on an entire sector of Yidden.

@Nodel please stop making fun of people you disagree with, don’t understand and don’t want to try to understand. If you lived in the tines of the Tannoim or Amoraim you would have gone meshige. See yaknehaz sugia, for example. Minhag Yisroel Torah, even when it’s not YOUR minhag

1) why do we pour water from becher into wine bottle before kiddush?

First let’s explain that one must rinse out a Kos before using it for Kiddush. The Gemora in Pesachim explains 10 things relevant to a Kos, some of which are meakev. Rinsing inside and out, shtifa and hadocha, are required. Usually some water is left in the Kos rather than emptying it all out after the Rinsing.

One reason was given, in case the wine in the bottle is pogum, since adding water to pogum wine allows us to use it for Kiddush. Pogum wine cannot be used for Kiddush.

A second reason is that, kabbolistically, the wine represents Din as it is usually red, and water represents rachamim. We want to be mamtik the din with chessed and rachamim so we add some water from the Kos to the wine.

Added bonus questions:

How many segulos for Parnossa or hatzlocha do we find in the Mishna Berura, which is a halocha sefer?

Doing a daf in 30 minutes requires talent and expertise. Don’t belittle it by comparing it to speeding up a shiur so the Rov sounds like a squirrel.

The Ben Gorni explains that Eliezer Eved Avrohom went into Gan Eden alive. How is that possible if Avrohom Yitzchok and Yaakov didn’t? He explained that any tzaddik could go into Gan Eden alive since they have sufficient zechusim. The Avos, however, chose to leave over for us zechus Avos so they didn’t have enough to go in alive. Eliezer didn’t care about his eineklach so he kept his zechusim all to himself.

The question then becomes…. what about Moshe? He clearly had enough zechusim to get in alive even after leaving over for us zechus Avos. And that is why the Torah says Kevuraso – it’s a wonderment how he was even buried.
