Yiddish for “good”, in the Galitzianer dialect.
Welcome to the CR.
My friend keeps on posting really dumb questions on the internet, pretending to be a man. Should I stop her? How?
Because it’s not at all inconsistent with being happy, which plenty of people are, even ifyou happen to know a few who aren’t.
Joe still hasn’t explained why marriage will suddenly preserve the idealism, while staying unmarried will allow it to degenerate.
There’s someone to whom you promised to live a certain way, and you wouldn’t want to disappoint them (among other reasons).
just boys assume that they have to be in long-term learning in order to get a shidduch
So you agree that it doesn’t exist, just that you think it should. So do I, but that wasn’t the point.
you’d have to use embryo selection if you really wanted to regulate effectively (two children per family, exactly at replacement level, to prevent population growth)
If this were serious, I would respond that:
1) No matter how much social engineering we do, there will always be some who don’t get married.
2) There are more boys born than girls, so we could grow a bit, maintain an age gap, and still have even numbers.
But it isn’t, so I won’t.
MDG, 🙂
Sam, that’s a separate question, but don’t confuse it with someone drowning.
???? ??????
Sam, the answer could easily be yes, save her life (of course) but not necessarily give her a ride for her convenience.
WS, I’m not sure what you meant by locked in, but I think I understood it differently than what I assumed Joseph meant.
I thought you meant stuck in a marriage and society which she feels she doesn’t belong (bad), and that Joseph meant that she will retain her idealism and type of frumkeit, and be happy in her marriage (good).
I think both are possible, and there’s an upside and a downside to getting married soon after sem.
A girl would be better off marrying someone who is looking for what she’ll be in 6 months than what she is now. If her ruchniyos is so unstable that 6 months of being single is going to sink it, then its completely superficial.
What if what she’ll be looking for in six months doesn’t exist?
It’s not a lock, but it is a stabilizing factor.
Rabbi Miller wanted girls getting married younger so that they don’t lose their idealism, but a boy might be better off marrying a girl whose hashkafos were developed in her home rather than adopted in the past few months in seminary.
I give my daughter’s friends rides home at night. I don’t want them walking alone late at night.
I also sometimes give rides to my wife and daughter.
I hope you at least have the decency to put them in the trunk.
“If you don’t have seichel… then what???”
Perhaps you shouldnt be driving altogether, but if you do, ask your Rav what to do.
What if your rav doesn’t have seichel? I know you should pick a rav who has seichel, but if you don’t have seichel, maybe you’re not picking a rav with seichel and you don’t even realize it.
Syag, that doesn’t really explain how there are some really big talmidei chachomim who have more bitachon than you or I will ever have, understand where bitachon and hishtsdlus overlap, and, agav, have long passed the shidduch parsha in their own lives.
But I don’t care if a state recognizes a marriage.
Neither do I. (I do care that certain marriages are beach recognized.)
ML, true. 🙁 I should have said they perform certain marriages which used to not be recognized.
Popa, and some of those weddings may not be recognized in every state…
A cloth diaper service called trying to get us to become customers. I asked them how often they come to change the baby.
Doesn’t this belong here?:

Put them at the kids’ table.
There isn’t a “pride parade”, per se, for anything else.
Precisely. So the comparison to anything else is faulty.
The point of the protest isn’t to change their minds or actions, it is to stand up for the kavod of Hashem and His Torah, and to strengthen ourselves.
We see from this thread alone how desperately even frum need chizuk in their hashkafos.
Yichusdik, you should object to any display of “pride” in hedonism.
You are telling the OP what he shouldn’t do; why is that any better than he telling you what you should do?
ZD, that wasn’t the question.
Jfem, your post and its relevance to the subject. We are not discussing initiating a protest against any people or group, the OP was talking about protesting their pride parade advocating for an average and prideful in their taivos.
Would you not protest against a chillul Shabbos pride parade, or a theft pride parade, or a parade displaying pride for any aveiros or taivos?
I would hope you would. Because I would hope that you’re on the Torah’s side, and Hashem’s side.
Yichusdik, are you telling me that you would not be opposed to a parade supporting financial crimes?
ZD, wrong thread?
Jfem, huh?
Ubiquitin, and what happened to them?
The moral degradation with time is easily visible to anyone with an eye on the past.
As is readily seen in some of the posts defending pride parades on any level.
Sickening. This is something to proud of?
I second Lakewood Auto Sales.
Sam, that would be a terrible thing even if it weren’t an issur, simply because of the immodesty of it.
How low have we sunk that we can blithely say “that’s just how it is” that people identify themselves according to things we would probably be better off not even discussing.
So to me it is clear that 1) it is more dangerous in the settlements,
Of course, and thank you for being objective about that.
and 2) it is still good that Jews are willing to live there.
Why does that need to follow? Why can’t the Medina be a good thing (or, I think more to the point, there be a mitzvah to live in Eretz Yisroel) but stay away from the more dangerous areas?
There is an objective definition to sakana
There isn’t just one dividing line, and something can be assur or muttar depending on the context, and something can be muttar but still ill advised.
Your assertion that the issue is binary is not true.
Charlie and Barry, you are using statistics which are not accurate for drum communities.
Avi, sure, but that doesn’t justify making them even less safe. They’re at risk everywhere, but I still don’t let them play in traffic.
This thread isnt really about safety.
It’s about an ideology which says to put your children at risk to settle more parts of Eretz Yisroel, as some of the pro-settlement posters have admitted.
How many KJ residents have been killed by terrorists? Your analogy is ludicrous.
Start by protesting your own communitiy’s hisgaros be’umos regarding the KJ annexation
I guess I should have mentioned that the settlements are not only less safe than Tel Aviv and Ramapo, but also more dangerous than Kiryas Yoel.
He wasn’t right then, and you’re not right now. I guess that puts you in good company.
He was right, but his timing was bad, and he shouldn’t have said it publicly.
The settlements are far less safe than Tel Aviv or Ramapo.
No, he said you’re better cooling off with ices.
Can you please be more specific about which things you say and which things you skip before P’sukei D’zimra?
That’s terrific that you started davening Shacharis! May you continue to grow in your Yiddishkeit.
Which parts do you already say?
So it’s okay to criticize someone to your right, but not someone to your left. Gotcha.
I don’t know what was on the show, but I have no idea why you think the OP was trying to criticize.
OURtorah, I think you badly misunderstood his intention.
The real question is why so many people are willing to endorse Hillary given her unbelievable history of absolutely outrageous lies. And how she compromised our National security & is responsible for deaths of Americans in Libya?!?
Because Trump is a charlatan and a fraud, and an immoral person, with an even bigger ego than most presidential candidates, and no political experience.
RoB:
You’re doing it again. You do it when we discuss halachah, now you’re doing it when we discuss politics – you’re putting words in my mouth.
Trump is not my hero, and I don’t even know if I will vote for him.
Hillary, however, was found to have committed a crime, but let off the hook for political reasons with the ridiculous claim that no prosecutor would prosecute, when people have been prosecuted for lesser infractions.
Maybe it was in the country’s best interest that we don’t need to go through the turmoil that we would if the Democratic presidential nominee were thrown out for legal reasons, but to claim that it’s not understandable why someone would endorse Trump is to be completely lacking in objectivity.
I would similarly understand if someone would endorse Clinton because of Donald’s huge flaws.
OURtorah, welcome back.
To whom was that comment directed?
The real question is why so many people are willing to endorse Trump given his unbelievable history of absolutely outrageous lies.
The alternative is someone who should be in jail for recklessly compromising national security for selfish reasons.
Thank you for the mazal tovs! How did you all know? The bar mitzva was beautiful!
If his bar mitzvah was a year ago, he must have just graduated yeshiva ketana.
So, did he get into a good mesivta?
Lol, Sam.
Try the 15th track from the Belz album Yatzliach.
Golfer, IIRC, there is one shittah (Shiltei Giborim) that it’s okay, but Mishnah Berurah say we don’t pasken that way.
S’chiras r’shus is a big problem for almost all eruvin. We get around it by doing s’chiras r’shus from some kind of government agency, but it’s not so pashut.
