True, but still…
Yeah, but mine are much greater.
Sam, did you look at the Tos. Yom Tov I linked?
Responsa of Modern Judaism
Avraham Fried probably sold a couple of hundred more albums because of that post.
Well, that answers Joseph’s question – http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/darchei-torahs-campaign-for-the-rabbeim#post-613939 – had they been short, they would have donated to themselves and used a different name.
You can donate with filtered internet.
They said it’s not optimal, not that its assur or that some people don’t need it.
I don’t see how you are making an issue out of this.
What did the “anti-internet” letter say precisely?
I’m quite sure it didn’t say that.
See ???”? ??? ?????.

Less than 17 syllables.
I also don’t know who Rav Vosners’s granddaughter’s rav is, or who is the rav of whoever started the campaign. Rav Vosners’s himself obviously didn’t allow it (although he might have, since someone could donate while at work).
I don’t believe R’ Chaim’s position is as presented.
There’s a difference between allowing a child to browse at home and performing a specific task under the principal’s supervision.
So far, 0-3.
I don’t think any of them hold filtered internet at one’s workplace is assur.
Find me a mosad that says one can’t have internet under any circumstances and collects online, and then we’ll talk.
It could also be that where the marriage is over refusing to give a get in order to extract concessions from her or for spite is a type of violence. Emotional and verbal abuse can be worse than physical abuse.
That argument pretty much says that the halacha requires him to give a get because he’s not giving a get. Seems a stretch to me.
LC, I think you’re wrong, although I’ll ask my accountant to double-check.
There’s nothing inherently non tax deductible about paying for a wedding, if a tax deductible organization is doing it for someone in need.
Paying for milk is similarly not tax deductible, but you would agree that if an organization collects and distributes money for the needy, and gives them or pays for the groceries, it is deductible.
I think you would be right in the case you cited. The family requested the donations go through the shul, and all such donations were earmarked for that family.
The Darchei fund has neither of these two elements. It’s Darchei requesting the donations, not the family, and donations go to this fund, controlled by Darchei, not earmarked for a specific recipient. They can give the money to whichever family they feel needs it.
The key here is who controls the donation. In your case, it’s the donor, and indeed, when the donor controls the money (by earmarking it), it’s not tax deductible. In this case, it’s Darchei, so it is tax deductible.
Whose gloves are those sitting in my closet for the last seven years?
Huh? Why?
Why should they unblock me? Because I didn’t do anything wrong!
Actually, it turns out they just changed my subtitle but didn’t block me.
I don’t know that it hasn’t happened. I do know that it’s come close to happening.
1. The person who must signs that form is the plaintiff. Thus, if the wife is the one who files for divorce she is the one who must sign.
AFAIK, you’re correct, which may make the scenario uncommon. But if the husband files, but refuses to give a get, it can come up.
The courts do, in fact, recognize lack of a get to be a barrier for a frum woman. The law was written for this scenario, and is recognized as such.
In America, they can only penalize him financially, which they are already doing.
In some places (New York for sure), in some circumstances, he can be thrown into prison.
Can beis din be kofeh based on Mitzvah L’garesh, or do they need Chayav L’garesh?
I would also be surprised if my rebbeim couldn’t beat the living daylights out of yours.
I would be very surprised if your rebbeim disagree substantially with mine on this.
I think it’s asking for trouble on several levels.
When I got engaged, I asked my rebbe how often we should meet. He responded, “not often”.
I think every chosson should get guidelines from his rebbe about this, and follow them.
I believe I’ve demonstrated in the past that I am more than capable of apologizing or retracting when I am convinced that I am in the wrong.
Yes, one of the few.
Considering all the halachos they will face for the first time the answer should be “yes”
Considering that they’re not married and shouldn’t be looking for more reasons to see each other, and considering the types of halachos they will be learning, the answer should be, and usually is, “no”.
That being said, the chosson’s teacher and kallah’s teacher should be on the same page, and this is not always the case.
Any French people here? Do you eat French toast? Do you make it at home? Do you use syrup or cinnamon and sugar on it?
How can you possibly know that someone would or would not have gone off the derech had they gone or not gone to college?
You can’t. That’s why you’ll never hear the stories.
Gavra, they can be part of the one for smokers.
Can you include smokers as well, or will they need their own organization?
ZD, I know of someone who jumped off of a bridge and survived. That doesn’t mean it was a good idea, or that anyone should follow suit.
ZD, you’ll never hear the stories about the girls who would have gone OTD had they gone to college, and were saved because they didn’t.
Also, I’m not familiar with who you refer to, but most of the famous OTD people come from dysfunctional homes. I’ll bet she did too.
I take pareve ones (the milchig ones aren’t kosher) and fry them in butter. Does that help you?
ZD, most kids don’t want to learn Gemara, or anything else for that matter. They’d rather be playing.
So, no, that us not by definition abuse.
Whether or not they’re being abused would depend on how they’re being forced, not if they’re being forced.
I conducted one interview and can basically confirm what Mammele said. I would say it a bit differently, though, that these people have encountered severe emotional trauma in one form or another, mostly some form of abuse.
The interview I conducted was with a professional who has conducted many.
Has carrots ever have any bugs
Ah, so you are saying anything which has ever had bugs needs to be checked l’olam vo’ed. I don’t think that’s true. Do you check onions?
In some situations, blending can be l’chatchilah.
Why not?
There’s lots of bias from all involved.
You should blend them too just to make sure.
A friend forwarded something from Kehilah Kashrus to me.
Do you check carrots?
It could also not be, it changes and has to constantly be monitored. Of course it’s relevant nowadays.
In fact, I recently got an alert that romaine lettuce is particularly bad now, and the recommendation was not to rely on home or sample checking, but to only buy Pos-Tiv.
Who says no one cares what they have to say? Who says no one listens?
It’s important that they be listened to, and there are people who do listen (although certainly not everyone shares), but what someone says is what caused them to leave isn’t necessarily the reason they left.
Has anyone here ever gone up to an otd person and asked why?
Sure, but do they really know? There’s lots of bias from all involved.
Even Daas Yochid won’t admit that anyone has Da’as Torah.
This is not true, I just won’t name names.
Why should the caller have known better? He knew better after Rav Moshe told him.
The caller, as I heard the story, was Rav Shmuel Berenbaum, who went through a sugya for many days, and asked Rav Moshe a big kashya, which Rav Moshe immediately answered to Rav Shmuel’s satisfaction. He told Rav Moshe it was good he had just learned the sugya, to which Rav Moshe responded that he hadn’t learned that sugya in years.
He was so impressed by Rav Moshe, that he called him again, and then again, at which time Rav Moshe told him that t he reason he gets up so early to learn is that this was the only time he gets to learn uninterrupted.
Joseph, so you’re saying it’s geographically possible, but not politically?
NDG, you’re saying it’s not geographically possible?
Joseph, the frum districts don’t want it either.
ZD, so it wouldn’t be entirely, but the burden would be lessened.
Could the district lines be drawn in such way so that the burden of the public schools didn’t fall on the shoulders of the frum community?
