Thanks health, you have done a far better job at showing your true character than anyone else could.
“I would be shocked beyond words if I saw the wife of our Rav dancing like that”
I would be shocked beyond words if I saw our Rav playing golf, but that doesn’t mean that there is anything wrong with it.
Now that the Agudah; OU; RCA have strongly condemned these behaviors; it will be interesting to see which Israeli chareidi organizations join this group.
“so you wouldn’t have a problem if women learn and do belly-dancing in class, right?”
I’d have a big problem if it were in a Tanach class.
“It is also my personal opinion that dancing with poles or similar should not be done in public”
Nor dancing with Chechs, Slavs, Brits, or Danes.
No one wakes up one morning and starts to and lob spittle at children. This behavior is learned and taught by the likes of mmd and Health who have in fact shown us that they are part of a sick and disgusting group of individuals who will pay a heavy price for the chillel Hashem which they fomented. It is assur to give musser unless you how to give it and the halachos involved. This is no Pinchas situation. Bais Din; parents; a Rebbe are authorized to exact punishment; not any self-appointed pervert.
Why did Eisav go off the derech. Guess what? No reason; that’s the way he was born. People are born with different personalities, character traits, and degrees of yetzer hara strengths; and the ability to overcome their yetzer hara.
Es Chataei Ani Mazkir Hayom. Seeing is believing. I went on-line to assess the Zumba exercise class and determined that it is clearly no different than any other vigorous exercise. Naturally, in a frum environment, you would not have men in the class; but you can say that about any exercise class. I have seen far worse moves by young yeshiva fellows in men’s circles at weddings. In fact, I would say that many of the Yeshiva Boys Chior movements comes right out of Zumba. I only wish that I had the koach for such leibedekeh exercise. So let’s find some real znius issues to expend our energies.
“Are you obligated to mention that a boy smokes, when you know that it would probably be a factor on the girls side”
That’s like saying,”Are you obligated to mention that a boy is not always shomer shabbos and he eats a little pork on the side”
“while the candles are lit.”
For the first half hour they burn during the zman.
Hey, hypocrites! The Internet, which you are on right this minute, is infinitely worse than a frum boys group on TV. The same goes for most cell phones. You are wasting more time with your blogs complaining than the nine year old kid’s batala.
What’s next, chassidic Chazzanim appearing with symphony orchestras with women musicians in way untzniusdic low cut sleeveless dresses?
Hey y’all; get a life and enjoy. The kids were terrific and they don’t need your yapping off. They work hard and we shep nachas.
“Has anyone heard of this?”
YES
“Is this a good Hashgacha?”
NO
“how about potatoes?”
You can’t use potatoes or other food. Wood and glass are also not first preferences. Also, clay pottery needs to be new for each lighting and glass must be clean for every lightning. Ner Chanukah should be lit using an esthetically pleasing menorah, preferably of metal.
I have five Amex cards and so does my wife. Credit cards enterprises do not lose money. When they offered this promotion, we used all the cards at our disposal to help our einacle’s yeshiva. No one is pulling the wool over Amex’ eyes. Most banks and large businesses support charity programs and other programs that endear them to the community. Sh’koach American Express.
“do i light because it is our minhag”
To be safe, give a coin to your father so that you share in the mitzva.
“Most people are so repelled by the idea.”
You mean most amaratzim are repelled by the idea. They would feel the same with an uncle marrying a niece.
“3) R’ Moshe still recommended cholov Yisroel (in the classic sense).”
He didn’t. Rav Moshe said that one who wants to go beyond the halacha (lifnei m’shuras hadin) may eat cholov Yisroel (in the classic sense).
Just because your posek only eats glatt meat; it doesn’t mean that you are eating treif when you eat meat that is OU non-glatt.
“There’s your answer”
Actually, the answer is that you can really do both. And if you think that you can’t, do the shiur three times a week and the daf yomi every day.
happiest, I’m sure she had the gastric bypass surgery; not the lap-band procedure. Unlike the lap-band procedure, the gastric risks a 2% fatality rate.
No; divorce for your sake and for the good of the kids.
That means NO CLEMENCY in political language.
If all he did was to give up chabad; kol hakavod.
I am a male. The emergency room is not a fun place and you would rather be in your own bed when the stone is passing. Everyone has different thresholds of pain, but be prepared. Have your doctor prescribe powerful pain medication (i.e.;vicodine)for the eventual and painful stone passing event. During the “passing”, take the medication as prescribed, get into bed, and keep drinking lots of water. You will be ok. The actual last moments of the passing out of the stone is not painful, just its trip from the kidney.
I learned in shiur given by a posek in Flatbush that while meat and fish may not do harm to the guf, it may however do harm to the yiddishe nashoma.
“Everybody Except Popa is Retarded”
There are no exceptions.
Rabbi Chait is a tzadik and a talmud chochem.
No time for himself?! What a tzadik! Samet is serving 27 years in prison for a $3million crime, and he has no time for himself.
You mean 24 months off; he has not served.
originial thinker – I’d appreciate if you would tell me what tanach says about which stock I should buy tomorrow.
Don’t worry about money or debts; you don’t live forever.
If your husband has the time to hang out with his friend at night then get him learning in the Bais Medrash and not only will you not have this fellow over but you’ll have a talmud chochem husband.
There are too many unknown variables for anyone to offer useful advice.
Neither one.
“A Vaad protects us.
What protection did they give in Monsey?
“If I CHAS V’SHALOM found someone hurting a child (not just mine), I’d wrap my hands around their throat. Pikuach nefesh overrides shomer negiah.”
You talk the talk, but would you really do anything? Has anyone? I have not seen or heard of anyone protesting in front of yeshivas or institutions that harbor and protect child abusers and/or molesters.
What about Rav Bick and Rav Bulman to name a few of many top Rabbonim.
Who is going to delete most of my posts now?
FROM WIKIPEDIA:
Centrality of Torah – Despite its simultaneous acceptance of both Torah and secular knowledge and culture, Torah Umadda, as a philosophy, prioritises a Torah outlook and knowledge, and in its practice, requires strict adherence to Halakha.
Thus, as far as a secular knowledge, Torah Umadda demands “unquestioned allegiance to the primacy of Torah, and that the apprehension of all other intellectual disciplines must be rooted and viewed through the prism of Torah.”[4] [5]
Similarly, as regards observance of Jewish law: “Not a single fundamental of Judaism has been disturbed by us, we adhere to the same ikkarim (principles of faith), we are loyal to the same Torah, we strive for the same study of Torah and observance of mitzvot that our parents and grandparents before us cherished throughout the generations.” (Norman Lamm, Some Comments on Centrist Orthodoxy.)”
Why do only seminary girls get to learn navi? Because most of the experts in navi today are women. Would you have a woman teaching navi to our frume yeshiva bochrim as Nachama Leibowitz used to do years ago? It doesn’t pas.
It’s one thing to have a table for aniyim at a chasunah but it’s something else when many chasunah invaders disturb the chuppa and are very aggressive with their shnorring. In addition, at the meal, they sit in seats reserved for guests. Women are not aware of this annoyance since they are spared schnorring in their section.
When I make a chasunah, I leave several hundred dollars with the hall manager to distribute to schnorrers to avoid having my guests subjected to this unwanted behavior. I don’t invite friends and relatives to my simcha to get solicited.
To all of you who are pro-shnorring at simchas: How about allowing them to invade your home when you make a vort or birthday party and have them mingle with your guests and work the crowd. How about shnorring at a shiva house; who would deny a shnorrer there? And set up some seats for shnorrers at your dining room or simcha hall the next time you have a parlor meeting or bris or bar mitzvah seudah, let’s all enjoy.
Give tzadaka, but there are times and places when it is not appropriate.
The are no n’viem today and no one knows for sure all the details of ma’seh b’reishis.
I only eat Cholav Yisroel and I eat OU-D; not a s’tirah.
“Our Gedolim have many times said and cried out in public that much of the problem of kids at risk etc lays in the fact that our classes are overfull”
Which Gedolim might that be?
The Mishne B’rurah was knocked when it first came out, and many still knock it for the same reasons. And yes, those who don’t learn Mishne B’rurah because they feel it’s not the original, remain amarotzim, while those of us who do learn it grow in halacha.
Well not Avodah/Heichal shailos.
Working on it – What makes you think that it will be any better with a different wife? Just try to make her happy because that’s what counts the most and make the best of your circumstances; I have seen a lot worse. Many women stay home and raise their kids so you should be thankful for any money that your wife earns. Show your appreciation rather than complaining.
real-brisker, where did you get that bologna from?
“or is this the same thing as bariatric surgery or a nose job, both of which were approved already”
“I can’t see the difference between this or any other cosmetic procedure that is done to make a person feel (s)he looks better.”
It may be mutter for a “she”, but most certainly not for a “he”.
Also, bariatric surgeries and nose jobs may be beneficial health wise, while other cosmetic procedures are not.
“But seriously, can she answer if the Avodah was done with someone in the Heichal, does it have to be redone or not?”
But seriously, how many yeshiva bochrim can answer this question? To answer this question, you need to ask a working stiff balabos who learns daf yomi every day.
My working/learning son-in-law asks his Propect Park Yeshiva wife to paskin his shailos, and she is always right on target.
