It’s a moshol for zionism. The zionists took Eretz Yisroel, which is supposed to be about kedushah, and turned it into the state of Israel, which is not.
If they had listened to calmer, nicer music, they probably wouldn’t have done that.
I agree with myself from four years ago.
Anyone else think its weird that I’m posting love threads for my car?
FTFY, and yes.
I mostly agree. I think the store owners may have a valid practical concern which is unrelated to antisemitism, but most of the opposition probably is motivated by antisemitism, although they can’t admit it.
That was very nice of him, but it doesn’t suddenly transform them into a class organization.
Unsuccessfully
I have no idea what you mean.
All I see is you making an analogy but not letting him make one.
Would you accept that as a reason for the Us to have turned back the St. louis in 39?
Start a new thread, how does that affect the issue at hand
I think (ii).
I wouldn’t call a hechsher on beer “entirely unnecessary”. There are some potentially problematic additives which could be (and in some microbreweries, have been) added. True, the agencies all say that domestic unflavored beers from large breweries are fine, and they are right; achazukei issur lo mechazkinan. However, since things can and do change, I think it’s a maaleh to have a hechsher.
I drink Vintage seltzer. Is there anyone here that wouldn’t, but would drink seltzer with no hechsher (unflavored is said to not require one)?
Companies dont pay for something they dont need. It could be they are adding ingredients that make it an exception to the general rule of “not needing”, or perhaps the manufacturing or bottling process is the cause of a required hechsher
I don’t think one needs to be choshesh for that on a product which doesn’t require a hechsher. The kashrus symbol is a marketing tool.
Eg. Triangle K being too lenient when it comes to meat or wine does not necessarily have any weight on their ability to certify potato chips
I agree that some products are less problematic than others, but I think there is a relationship between reliability for meat and potato chips. There have been potato chips produced on the same equipment as pork rinds, with a “hechsher”.
There are no available beds now. Would you take them into your home?
It’s a moshol. You would not want to compromise your or your family’s safety, despite your compassion, and we feel the same way about the refugees, and we don’t trust the government agencies’ claims that it is not a major security concern.
If the homeless shelters were full, I’m sure you’d open your home, though. Right?
So get one to replace your dehooded ’98 Civic. (Or put the hood back on. Tip – duct tape can do wonders.)
Coffee can be dangerous!
If coffee were dangerous, I would be dead.
It acts as a diuretic.
To counteract that, I put fluids in mine.
Are you paying alimony?
You know you drink too much coffee…
…when you consider sleep to be a last resort caffeine alternative.
How’s the car doing? Still holding up?
It is legal to sell miles. It is also legal for the airline to confiscate them or throw you off the program if they catch you.
That is the din because that’s what the dayan said.
The OU statement implies that the policy should be to accept them, and through creativity, we will figure out how to keep safe. Essentially, if there is a will, there is a way.
I do not have such confidence in the government. I don’t know if there is the will to make the tough decisions, or a way to overcome the political realities, necessary to be compassionate not only to the refugees, but to the innocent people who already live here.
Ubiquitin, it wasn’t only me, it’s been posted several times, I’m not sure how you could miss it.
America doesn’t have the ability to check Syrian police or government files on applicants to determine if they are radicalized.
There is no way for America to do a real background check on Syrian applicants.
I am very skeptical about the US having the “creativity and compassion” to allow in the innocent without significantly compromising security.
and dont kid yourself, the same people who say you cannot close the door on refugees just because known ISIS members are among them, will also tell you you cannot monitor them, background check them, put surveilance on them etc because then we are discriminating and profiling.
Blindly believing that no terrorists could infiltrate along with the masses and making up laws that weaken the USA’s border policy is wrong.
just to clarify – it was ISIS who stated they will insert their terrorists among the syrian refugees.
whihc part? Already posted.
Which, BTW, is not a zoo.

So if I told you that I feel really bad about the innocent people who will suffer, but that we unfortunately can’t take in refugees because it is too dangerous, would you be satisfied?
Ubiquitin, is it feasible to take in the children without their parents?
I am very skeptical about the US having the “creativity and compassion” to allow in the innocent without significantly compromising security.
Ari and Ruth Schwartz.
It’s not nonexistent, it just can’t be completed without a melech.
There were gedolim who paskened shailos chamuros when very young.
Nah, nobody holds secular studies are inherently assur, aside from bittul Torah.
Perhaps no chiyuv to wipe out the entire Amalek, but a mitzvah if one finds an individual.
That would anyhow be a chiddush of the C”S, that there’s a mitzvah on an individual where it’s not part of a whole mechiyas Amalek.
Is that a college?
Touro Monsey?
Did you hear it?
Of course it does. It is not okay to violate the tznius standards of a particular city or neighborhood.
No, you need to show it in person. No, there is no need to use the word local, but people will do it anyhow.
I must say, though, that although there were some, I am under the impression that it was still rare. It’s almost unheard of today, although we still live in a medinah shel chessed, and religious accommodation is the law.
Can you show the non local rabbi your lulav and esrog on Instagram?
I solve the issu by not playing at all. It takes much less time that way.
My understanding is that it is frowned upon primarily because of bitul Torah, but the issue of learning inappropriate things – arayos and kefirah – is very relevant, even in “frum” colleges.
That wouldn’t be a raya in any case – killing one Amalaki doesn’t mean there still isn’t a job for Moshiach to finish off, but building the Bais Hamikdosh does.
In a hospital setting, where the doctors and families are deciding to pull permanently, if the decision is made, it’s not as if someone is going to put it back. I think it would be gram retzichah.
Amein!!
You’re asking as if it’s theoretical, but in fact, frum Jews for the most part have always tried to avoid military service, because it’s next to impossible to keep the Torah there.
How many frum people of any type, chareidi or otherwise, do you know who join any other county’s military voluntarily?
You would be allowed to momentarily shut off a respirator as well if your intention was to immediately turn it back on. The problem is if you don’t plan to put the tube back in.
Is it not retzichah to lock someone in a room with no food, since he won’t die immediately?
What story?
Lol about Sam Klein. I don’t think he means that he had a special revelation, I think he just thinks he’s more tuned in to Hashem’s rotzon than the rest of us.
Today, there are few places which truly have minhag hamakom. Most people follow their father’s minhag. The reasons to prefer a rav who is local have been mentioned – some shailos should be asked in person, and if the rav knows you, he can better gauge where you’re holding in terms of chumros and kulos and to apply sha’as had’chak. True, it is possible to have a rav who is not local, but the term and expression are sensible.
