Some say the Nes happened with wine, so its davka wine
Who says davka wine?
ad dlo yada should be achieved thru drinking wine.
Source?
You are not yotzei drinking w scotch, only wine.
Source?
There is no halachic source (if you find one, please share it) for imbibing any other form of alcohol besides wine on Purim.
Aruch Hashulchan 695:5 (doesn’t recommend it because it leads to vomiting, but holds you’re yotzei), Nemukei Orach Chaim 695:3 page 265, Orchos Rabbeinu 3 page 56:92, Mekadesh Yisroel Purim 328, Lehoros Nosson 9:21-22, Mekroei Kodesh 44, Rivevos Ephraim 7:360:1:1
Let’s start with the fact that the KKK endorsed Trump for one thing
If Trump endorsed the KKK, you’d have a story.
(No, his silly comment about “fine people on both sides” doesn’t qualify)Once the leaf has דם on it it becomes נפסל מאכילה altz מראית עין and בל תשקצו. So it’s anyhow not אוכל, so there’s no מעלה of אין צביעה באוכלין over using the אלונטית.
Yes, but according to you, it’s finished.
I don’t wait until the end to drink.
“The end of golus” doesn’t mean it’s over. It means it’s almost over.
Earlier in the piece, he says the tragedy of golus is the lack of hashroas hashechinah, and doesn’t claim we have that.
The renown possek Rabbi Hershel Schechter shlitah quotes it in his divrei Torah on Torahweb dot org, titled: “True Redemption”.
He doesn’t quote the Chazon Ish as saying golus is over.
Golus isn’t over.
No
I’m divorced & my Ex-wife and me weren’t that far apart.
Maybe there were other factors besides differences in hashkafa.
A better investment is to proofread before pressing the “Submit” button
Meh. It’s a CR comment, not a legal brief or a paper being submitted to a medical journal.
Some typos or autocorrected words are funny, but the one who wrote it didn’t do anything wrong.
Still going to maintain that it’s assur?
Of course not, but you’ve got to stop assuming those of us living in chu”l don’t also have valid reasons.
By the way, backticks are different from apostrophes.
That`s a good point.
I would start with requiring that all rebbeim/moros send their own children to the schools they teach in.
I would say parents should send their children to whichever school is best for them.
It’s amazing to me that I can visit the U.S. and see people read the words “וקבצנו מארבע כנפות הארץ לארצנו “, yet it apparently makes no impact.
It’s assur to leave Eretz Yisroel for a visit.
If you are going to use free market economies, then Yiddish loses.
You need to look outside of your own daled amos.
There’s an entire world out there.
Yiddish is a thriving language.
Please quote me exactly where the Torah tells us we need an Internet filter.

How Long is a Chinese name
I don’t have internet
I set up the process for legal clearance of music to be put ion the CDs that were sold for music on hold use
How did you do that?
And what your saying is that eventually there won’t be any frum ppl left?
Doesn’t sound theoretical.
I agree with TLIK.
“It is more important that you donate your big bucks to yeshivos than to support families that need to marry off their children.” Does that go over well?
No, it doesn’t. Neither does the other way.
Every individual needs to figure out halachically where his money should go, but I don’t think anyone collecting tzedaka should be pitting his cause against any others. He should solicit for his cause on its own merits.
Why one two? Perhaps you should insist all dates go for at least three or four dates.
What you really want is that we should insist that all dates get married.
Palestinian?
Why don’t we institute some sort of voucher system where teachers and school employees get vouchers to free or heavily discounted goods and services from Jewish owned vendors and venues.
Who’s paying for those vouchers?
People should not be opening new ones without enough cash flow and savings to be able to pay their teachers. It defies common sense.
Do you know whynew yeshivos open? Usually because there isn’t enough space in the existing ones.
Saying not to open new ones when there aren’t enough slots for everyone isn’t a solution.
ask your employees and vendors to accept lower compensation (aka cut pay for teachers etc)
Why do repeat this silliness? Do you think the yeshivas are intentionally overpaying?
If you cut teachers’ salaries, you end up with unqualified teachers.
We pay essential services. Babysitting is not such an essential service.
Troll
Any sensible business would figure risks into their balance sheet like missed payments and plan their expenses accordingly.
In other words, pay employees less?
You’re making the same mistake GH made. They’re already trying to run on the tightest budget they can while still offering quality chinuch.
I know many such parents, and they never end a school year with an outstanding balance. But their tuition payments cannot follow a schedule to accommodate weekly or biweekly payroll.
I would expect that there is administration that understands this.
It’s not only a matter of the administration understanding, it’s also a matter of being able to make payroll, which is what this thread is discussing.
Although, if they know a certain percentage of the parents have seasonal income, it might be possible to obtain short term loans from some understanding wealthy supporters.
The other reality is to scale back the scope of spending by the Mosdos to match their combined tuition/donation income.
Great idea. Use exclusively volunteer administrators, rebbeim, teachers and staff, and classes should be taught in public parks (those mortgages and electricity bills can be extremely burdensome).
The sound is supposed to be Greek. Salonika is a Greek city with a rich Jewish history.
Also, if this is insufficient money to the teacher, why is the power bill first? When I learned this up, the employees come FIRST then the power bill and mortgage!
Maybe when the poskim for the schools learned it up, they decided that it’s more important for a school to have a building, with electricity and heat.
NCB, let’s shut down all yeshivas, we’ll send our kids to public school. That’ll solve the problems.
I don’t think yeshivas have a “business plan” to delay paying salaries. The plan is to raise money through tuition and fundraising to pay. Sometimes, the plan doesn’t work as hoped.
Replace guns with Jews.
Why? Maybe we should replace guns with cocaine.
“well, you’re being oiver on a d’Oraysa too, so I guess that makes us even”.
The moicher is an am haaretz.
OK. Change my original statement to “mainstream non-profit organization” and it still holds true. If they have employees, they pay them. If the money isn’t there, they go bankrupt.
That’s not the first time you’ve advocated for closing yeshivas. What’s up with that?
Vouchers is probably the only viable one but even that has serious flaws (Like the government having the right to dictate what is taught)
The biggest problem is that the government isn’t giving them.
I’m really curious to know what ideas you may have to improve the situation. I’m being serious.
Free tuition for all. That will solve it.
Short enough for you?
Yes, thank you.
That was one specific case, but most moros are married to husbands who work, but many still struggle to pay bills.
Can you please provide a citation that this is true. I might understand a dispensation of אונס, but you imply that there is no issur. Please reference.

Will there be a scale at the entrance?
No, a tape measure. We wouldn’t want to embarrass guests by weighing them.
Will you have to send in your weight in advance?
No, we wouldn’t want any fraud. Measure by the door.
Will invitations be sent based on the obvious…?
That’s a good idea. Why waste money on invitations to people who won’t be allowed in.
What if the Chasson or immediate family is overweight?
Push off the chasunah until they lose weight. Meanwhile, they can work on making shidduchim.
What’s the Halacha if they are currently on a strict diet?
No exceptions allowed, just like the rest of the takanos. Once you start allowing exceptions, the whole thing falls apart.
Specifically, limiting the size of guests
That’s a fabulous idea, because the larger guests usually eat much more, so this will cut down the expense of the caterer.
If it were a mainstream business it wouldn’t be open because it’s not profitable.
For one, they’re protected by mesirah and they know it. For two, people don’t want to publicly say anything bad about them (see child-abuse threads) on account of societal pressure. Good thing the CR exists for such situations.
What a horrible thing to say. You make it sound like they don’t pay because they can get away with it.
When they don’t pay, it’s because they don’t have the money.
I agree with ZD.
It’s a horrible thing when hard working rebbeim, moros, teachers, and other staff don’t get paid on time, but if the school doesn’t have the money, they don’t violate the איסור of לא תלין or the עשה of ביומו תתן שכרו.
Rebbitzen etc (aka troll) even though the rabbis in Lkwd said that the schools wouldn’t open until all girls were place they still do.
They do delay opening, and most girls do get placed. Maybe some are in such a bad situation in ruchniyus that nobody can accept them, nebach.
You are a rather inept troll, I suggest a new career path.
