It isn’t.
The proper way is to look for middos, ehrlichkeit, talmid chochom (or bas talmid chochom).
” It is no coincidence that the levels of heart disease, diabetes, and similar issues are high in our community.”
Where were these stats invented? Who said it is any higher than average?
Is this in Snopes?
What other calendar remained in use, unmodified, for nearly as long (and accurately maintained the dates correlating to the seasons and solar/lunar cycles)?
Something a yodle comes up with on his own to shlug up accepted psak or teitch.
Certain commenters here have a tendency to practice this.
An ugly girl can plaster makeup hollywood style, and presto, she’s pretty.
lesschumras: You gotta be kidding. Where do you come off saying that the Arizal negated Mesorah and Daas Torah?? Aside from chutzpah that is about as inaccurate as can be.
Segulas are brought down in various seforim. They are a yiddishe concept.
If a SY girl marries out, she loses her SY minhagim/traditions and assumes her husbands.
The original beis yaakov’s most certainly did teach bnos yisroel housewivery.
Chacham: Please provide a cite for the Reb SZ,CI, and Steipler (if its true). Thx
oomis: As mdd pointed out to you, it is not a matter how you “feel” or “prefer” about it, it is a matter a of Jewish law. And I’ve already cited above the law is that one must even give up their life rather than shake a woman’s hand.
yoyo56: where does it say that?
See Igros Moshe E.H. 4:60.
The ARI HaKodesh instituted Nusach Sefard. I would take the AriZal anytime.
147: Your comments about havara (and nusach) are your own boich svaras.
What’s your plan?
21 is a bit late for a girl to start dating.

The Chazon Ish stated [re: a man shaking a woman’s hand who is not his spouse, his mother, his daughter, or his granddaughter] [p.p. 130-131])
A Yeshiva student from England refused to shake hands with his step-mother when greeting her. His father was extremely upset with his refusal. He demanded his son display “derech eretz” towards his step-mother and shake her hand. The son refused stating he was taught it was impermissable with a non close blood relative. This affected the fathers relationship with the son. Some family members told the son to give in al sholom bayis. The son asked a shaila from the Chazon Ish. The Chazon Ish responded with a short and sharp answer – “Chok V’lo Yaavor, Issur Gamur” (It is a prohibition that one dare not violate; It is absolutely forbidden,) Violating this halacha was out of the question despite sholom bayis and kibud av. (Oz Vehadar, p. 494).
The Chazon Ish and the Steipler have broad enough shoulders.
Marry him.
When there is a gun to your head there is no time to go call a rov.
I see a lot of jealousy against Brisk above. Although there is reason to be jealous of Brisk, jealousy (and sheker) is still forbidden.
Sam: The Chazon Ish and the Steipler says shaking a woman’s hand for business is yeheirag v’al yaavor. Rav Moshe has multiple teshuvos saying it is assur to shake a woman’s hand in business. The case I presented is certainly worse than shaking a woman’s hand.
Oomis: Yeheirag v’al yaavor exactly means one must be ready to be killed even if they are an anusa.
What is Israel Option and Masa?
There is no reason this invented date couldnt be changed by a simple legislative act.
OneOfMany: Tell me about these scholorships. They are news to me. $7k for a year in Istael??
Hugging is derech chiba.
Yes, ask. You can’t go wrong. And he is wiser (and a bigger talmid chochom) than you.
See m in Israel’s comment. There are studies and patterns, not guesses.
Why are you surprised, considering who invented this?
And they chose the date of the Warsaw Uprising, because that is what they think Judaism is all about. They have nothing else.
The real, and only, day is Tisha B’Av.

Shabbos guitar? Why not kosher pork or electronic wings to fly with.

oomis: Violating Shomer Negia is Arayos and more chumor than violating Shabbos. If a goy put a gun to your head on Shabbos and said turn on the stove, you could turn on the stove. If a goy put a gun to your head — even if you were a single girl — and said hug that man, you would have to let him kill you rather than hug that man.
There are exceptions to every rule.
Skulener Rebbe.
Rav Moshe has 3 or 4 teshuvos in the Igros Moshe where he keeps repeating it is prohibited to shake a woman’s hand in business. Two of Rav Moshe’s teshuvos prohibit it even if she offers her hand first to you.
Comp777: Not necessarily correct. I’ll start a new thread about this later, since it is OT here.
Most women will not walk away from a good marriage.
A woman can’t walk away from a good marriage, since her husband can deny her a divorce as he is under no halachic obligation to divorce her considering it is a good marriage.
What’s a non-male?
The Chazon Ish writes shaking a woman’s hand, even for business, is Yeihareg V’al Yaavor.
