Obama doesn’t want to upset his landsmen in the Arab world..boo hoo hoo…sob sob. New truths come out every day. We know what they want us to know, no more. I too would like to see the video of the creep’s last moments.
Very simple Boro Park Girl, just tell your husband to mind his own business and not be so controlling.
Now, if your female cat was found in the Lubavitcher shul where you davened, and if her ‘husband’ was giving birth to a litter of kittens in your daughter’s room, under a portrait of the Lubavitcher Rebba, I’d be impressed (and I’d even switch sides).
Have it bronzed.
There will be a minyan for mincha after the chupa at the palace, before the seuda.
I know quite a few who have obtained positions this way. When someone is out of work, his self esteem is very low and that is why I suggest that the Rav sets up the meeting and advocates for you at the meeting.
Go on their websites and apply for jobs with City, State, Federal governments. Ask your Rav or school administrator to go with you to meet with your local elected officials; they are connected. Hatzlacha.
Daas Yochid – I heard Rav Moshe’s heter of music in general from my Rav many times. A number of g’dolim listened to classical music and even opera. “Perhaps the same heter applies for s’fira” is my shaila, which is a tzoruch iyun.
Rambam – Ishus – 15:1

Rav Moshe permitted any type of music in spite of the ban after the Churban since we need it in today’s times because of our nervousness, like a r’fuah. Perhaps the same heter applies for s’fira.
I wish we could hear from Mrs.SilentOne since there is always “the rest of the story” which we don’t know about. When a marriage comes to hatred, it is assur to have relations; there could be a Rav who is advising Mrs.SilentOne. Let’s not be overly judgmental without knowing the “other side”.
You ought to know from the many threads on this topic in the CR that there is a large abumdance of women seeking men in the frum community and eventually, any man will do; even those with a lot of baggage and even if the marriage is only with k’dushin and not a civil marriage.
There is nothing wrong with any 30 year old female reading catalogues or magazines which advertise women’s clothing and other accessories. If they are inappropriate for men, politely ask the daughter if it would be ok to remove them until the boys have gone home. You’d be surprised at the response to a little bit of sincere honesty.
Is it music that you get up to dance to; I don’t think so.
Why not?
SilentOne – “For obvious reasons, it is diffciult to post personal information (such as dollar amount of support) publically.”
Why? No one knows who you are here.
Many men in your situation will complain but will not follow through on child support and other commitments and it’s the children who suffer as a result of their deadbeat dads. Just ask the yeshivos who are left with unpaid tuition from these deadbeat defiant uncaring fathers. And guess who ends up paying; everyone else with increased tuitions.
“Maybe we close Aish And Ohr Somayach because the BT’s should do their own work and get no help.”
No, read your own words. These organizations help the BT, who for the most part already have the spark. They don’t create the BT from nothing, as in “Are you Jewish?”
david1999 – censoring is right. I responded to achosid’s post, which did get past the mod’s in the other post, but that was not to be seen. This post will probably go the same way.
“The rav was not there for Pesach.”
Where was he? And if the rav were there, would the problem have been resolved?
SilentOne, how much money do you actually give for your children’s living expenses, clothes, tuition? And what are your current visitation arrangements?
“despite my desperate efforts for many years to do everything to save the marriage”. What did she say was the problem/s?
I would not daven in a shul which you describe. There are b”H other shuls which respect and adhere to the rules of the shulchan aruch. When a guest sees an unoccupied seat during davening, he assumes it’s available; and a regular mispalel ought to come to daven on time.
It’s interesting that in the last few years a new eruv phenomena has come about. Many frum Yiden have come to accept the Eruv in Flatbush but are afraid of being ostracized by chaveirim and family. So they have become “pocket carriers”. They will not carry openly so as not to offend anyone and also to keep the peace, but will carry privately and quietly.
This all becomes academic for most non-gebrochnekers tomorrow night. Hmmm…can’t wait to have my chometz knaidlech.

You’d lose. And we are talking average. Many communities have a lot higher than five at once and others don’t. Even if you lower the average to four instead of five, the huge amounts that you state are way beyond reality.
“Remember to count Sefira, especially the women out there who do not go to maariv”
It is preferable that S’fardic women not count the omer. Most Ashkenazic poskim rule that women may count while they are not required to do so.
TO THE FRUMGUY:
Also, anyone who is davening properly should not notice if someone is staring at them, or care.
Finally, yes I agree, loud daveners should be banned from shuls along with the talkers.
According to the Gr’a and the vast majority of poskim and rabbonim, g’btochts does nothing to keilim. Shlishi, do you eat chometz on the eighth day of Pesach; I hope not?
yswo – “if there are 200k kids in Yeshiva then there are two parents equaling 600k”
yswo, did you cut math in yeshiva? If we are talking about families with an average of five children in school, then a population of 200,000 children would amount to about 80,000 parents or a total of 280,000, not 600,000.
Wishful thinking and assumption does not create facts.
Big Brother Apple is watching you at all times.
If there are any doubts, break it NOW.
The shuchan aruch says that you should use the best wines for the seder, which is usually 13.5% and up. I have never gotten drunk at a seder using these wines and no one else needs to either.
And the feather is for your hat. “There’s a Sucker Born Every Minute”
“I do not see why that is inconsistent with one million considering the large family size, and especially since each of those 200k kids have two parents.”
This is stupid logic. You mean a family with five children in yeshiva have 10 parents?
“Charoses in not eaten.” Oh it’s eaten, just depends how hard you do the shaking. What’s the point of the shulchan aruch giving a delicious recipe if it’s not going to be eaten?
Falsha fish…is that eaten with falsha teeth?
“But alot of time spent in various matzo factories – both hand and machine – has shown me that the possibility of free flour that hasn’t been properly kneaded or exposed to the high heat is much higher than most people think.”
Not according to the g’dolim amd other experts.
“anyone who does put gebrochts in a utensil of someone who is makpid is probably being oiver on gezel”
They are not oiver on anything.
“On the same token if someone says he is Christian, they will count his Jewish wife and children — all halachic Jews — as NON-Jewish, thus reducing the true count.”
This statement is not true. These are demographers for secular Jewish organizations who create the criteria for the greatest possible count for political purposes and also to increase the size and proportion of non-Orthodox “Jews”.
charliehall – You are very correct and remember a relatively large proportion of these children, while they do attend Orthodox affiliated schools, do not follow Orthodox practice and neither do their families.
How many halachic jews do you think there are in the U.S.A.?
If one responder “says” that he is Jewish, the Jewish population demographers will consider the entire household Jewish. Using this response as the criteria for the Jewish population count, it is understandable that the total Jewish population is far less than recorded, but Orthodox Jews would have a higher proportion of halachic Jews.
“There aren’t a million frum jews in America.”
I doubt if there are 500,000 shomrei Torah u’mitzvos in the U.S.A. Out of New York, being a member in an Orthodox synagogue or children attending an Orthodox day school should not necessarily count as being frum.
It was cheaper to prepare for Pesach in the shtetle than for chometz. The only extra expense for special Pesach food was for matza, and their seder k’zaisim were alot smaller than ours. Everything else, including the wine was homemade. Pass the borsht.
And shtetle Jews did not have large sedarim or guests, they could barely feed themselves. They had no hotel or travel expenses. Chol Hamoed was not the time to hitch the horses and take the kids for fun things $$. And sinse people did not mish, you did not have to feed your Yom Tov visiters with all kinds of Shicks, OhNuts,Bartons,etc.
“I have seen them in action drying the leaves”
Why, does it take them 18 minutes to eat Koreich?
commonsense – these are modern people who adapted the modern invention of plastic to the minhag; what did their bobbehs and zaidehs do?
Also, how do they manage Koreich, when matzah and food are eaten together?
Mod – Except that we tend to confuse a necessary abstention for the times with halacha l’maseh. If the Shulchan Aruch didn’t forbid it and it wasn’t picked up by k’lal yisroel as a group, it is a minhag that only that particular group may feel a need to follow. There is absolutely no inyan to pick up and follow minhagim that your family going back doros did not have. Adaraba, what does it say about your ancestors that they did not follow that particular minhag that you have chosen to follow, that they were not frum enough? Not so poshet is right.
The gr”a did not stand in line for hours for his havdala beer after Yom Tov.
Years ago there was no mechanism to produce food before Pesach and to preserve food for Pesach use. As a result, most foods had to be produced by the consumer at home on Pesach or right before Pesach. Many of minhagim of what was not eaten on Pesach is a direct result of this reality and has absolutely no bearing to the current way of producing and processing foods and the sophistication of the hashgacha enterprise. Most of the non-meat foods did not have hashgacha all year, so for Pesach many of these foods were not used at all.
Our housewives are not opening up and cleaning chickens and gizzards right before Yom Tov and our floors are covered, vacuumed and chemically cleaned.
Our homes are more halachically cleaned and hermetically sealed than the homes of the past. Many families are already pesachdic a days before Yom Tov, which was never the case back then.
It was not economically viable to produce dairy for just the few days of Pesach since everything had to be fresh and, no matter what, dairy was not eaten on Yom Tov or Shabbos.
So it seems to me that while there was good reason at the time not to use certain foods, today I would consider them shtus minhagim; certainly those minhagim that were not universally accepted by ashkanazim or s’fardim as a group.
charliehall- “My only Pesach chumrah: We don’t sell chametz.”
So what do you sell?
