Pretty sure Joseph didn’t mean YWN when he referred to “Jewish blogs and facebook and other social media” (Joseph’s on Facebook??!! [No wonder they reached one billion]).
Which YU rav besides Tendler gets regular criticism here?
Joseph knows the story isn’t true because he was there when it didn’t happen.
What percentage of people take the flu shot? What percentage of flu ER visits are by those who didn’t take the flu shot? What percentage of flu shot recipients vs. non flu shot recipients visit the ER for either condition?
There are so many other relevant questions to be answered to actually think that flu shots are inadvisable.
I was once not wearing sunglasses, and I almost squinted.
It is cultural, not halachic.
Of course it’s true with some; the gemara says there’s a tremendous yetzer hora for gezel, and I made no comment implying otherwise.
I do sometimes wonder why some people seem to like to view the frum community in the worst possible light.
Goq, I think you owe Health the apology. He claimed to be yeshivish and erlich, and your response was to say he’s wearing blinders.
You actually owe the apology to anyone who considers themselves yeshivish, because the implication was indeed that it’s not possible to be yeshivish and erlich.
I know that’s not how you think, but that’s how it came across.
Or it may primarily be age gap/population growth.
Neither issue precludes dealing with the other.
They might both be true. An age gap/population growth combination would cause a disparity, and more boys leaving the fold (or even simply looking for wives outside of the mainstream shidduch scene, would cause a disparity.
If they’re both true, it makes the disparity worse.
ItcheSrulik, don’t bother explaining.
Good point, golfer, although one could argue that the money could be used to support Torah in a more efficient manner.
Akuperma, you continue to use the same flawed argument, although it has been pointed out to you numerous times.
One of the main arguments Jewish anti-feminists use is that raising children and being a wife is to a woman what learning is to a man.
Not the way you’re using it.
Concerning support; unless the fellow is a super talmud chochim and learns 24/7, the sacrifice is not worth it.
I strongly disagree.
Obviously, what you wrote is a guzma, but the fact that you used such a big one tells me that you and I have very different ideas about his big of a masmid/talmid chochom is worth supporting.
Not enough details to know if there was a yichud issue.
Not everything which violates the Shulchan Aruch’s principle of “meod meod” can be neatly put in the assur box.
It doesn’t seem to me that the Torah wanting men to be men and women to be women would be a chok.
The meforshim do talk about a concern about arayos, but that’s only one aspect of it.
Like most Time articles about minority cultures, it doesn’t say much worth reading.
I have found almost any article in the secular media relating to frum people, culture, or practice, to be inaccurate. I suspect the same is true about any minority culture.
In fact, I suspect it’s true about most subjects.
Flatbusher, why do you assume that it must be assur out of concern that it will come to a different issur?
Rav Elyashiv held kids should be vaccinated. Kids whose parents didn’t vaccinate them should be kept out of school to force them to fulfill ??? ??? ?????.
Alas, true. But, they started making an oval personal pie, with three toppings on it, and it was excellent.
I did not feel like popa when I ate it, though.
More kids live in houses with stairs and TVs than guns.
That is an excellent point. More people die every year in car accidents than jumping off of the Empire State Building, but it’s still safer to drive than to jump off of the Empire State Building.

Are you trying to project that on the rest of us? Because some of us had a different experience than you did.
Hmmm… I wonder if any of the parking lots would let you pay for a spot and put luggage instead of a car.
Old man, I don’t think it’s fair to compare lack of knowledge (CR posters) to deliberate twisting of halachah to fit modern sensibilities (YCT).
Flatbusher, what do you mean my reasoning? it’s a halachah in Shulchan Aruch, and the Igros Moshe which old man quoted (which I linked) says outright that the medication (vitamins?) which he assered restored the original color.
If you want to be dan the individuals you see l’kaf z’chus, you can assume they did it to get a job, which R’ Moshe is mattir if there’s no ona’ah.
since it was impossible for the first two to answer the question as referring to the group
It was impossible in the affirmitive, but possible in the negative.
L’chaim!
Newbee, if noticing what someone writes on the CR is a problem, we’re all guilty.
Why? Is there a mitzvah to have gray hair?
No, but that doesn’t mean there’s no issur of beged isha to dye it black.
DaMoshe, that’s true in some cases, not all.
Had the first or second not wanted a drink, the answer to the question, “would you all like a drink?” would have been, “no”.
The third one was also correct.
Considering the fact that the issue is beged isha, yes, a woman is permitted.
I don’t think restoring the original color is any better.

I feel bad for you, that you have a husband too cheap to spring for a decent normal oven.
Either that, or the malach is keeping quite busy.
marriage is not something that saves anyone from anything
The gemara says differently.
I’ve heard both sides of the argument, and I don’t know who’s right. Most important points have been mentioned here. There’s a way of thinking which says that if boys knew they were going to get married younger, they would mature younger. Others think below a certain age (obviously not a hard rule) they’re not able to deal with marriage maturely.
(Some of the more learned posters here, may shoot down that idea by quoting sources that date back many many years suggesting the advisability of a man choosing a wife that looks nice to him.)
Or I might.
:?????? ??
??? ??? ??? ?????
Even if you want to say that the gemara is lamenting rather than advising, it’s certainly nothing new.
I used to have windows expy.
Is anything, besides Yiddishkeit?
Open Orthodox/Reform/Conservative
If that’s true, and what popa says is true, it disproves the old adage “what goes up must come down”.
Then why are there so many overweight married women?
Maybe, but then they should be the first ones hired as teachers.
Mike Bloomberg?
i stopped reading the thread because there was alot of that reflexive – “take what you think you heard and disagree”, or “assume the chareidi lifestyle is being attacked
I don’t know if you think that’s what I was doing, but I certainly wasn’t intending to.
I think you identified the problem clearly – the students suffer when the teacher gets married and leaves.
What I don’t have a clear picture of is what precisely you think can and should be done about it.
Safety first.
Someone can get killed changing a flat tire.
Color war, if done properly, can be an opportunity for kids’ talents to shine. It can also be an opportunity to learn good midos, again, if done properly.
Marbehshalom, you should send your kids to camps where it’s done properly.
