WIY, you, squeak, and ubiquitin could co-author.;)
DY – Girls can insist on that too if they wanted.
I meant successfully.
I just don’t think it’s that simple that if there were more boys in the world every girl would be matched up with a boy.
I agree; as it is, with more girls than boys, not all boys are married. But more would.
My suggestion is to see what the underlying problem of this crisis is
We already know. It’s not speculation.
Jf2, I’m not sure why #2 is to the boy’s advantage.
I think #3 was always the case. Maybe a case could be made for post wedding expenses.
You changed your complaint. First, you said it was with the explicit or implicit guidance of leadership. Now there’s a leadership vacuum.
BTW, were you affected by the power outage?
You probably didn’t study at all.
They can insist on marrying girls with specific maalos, including, but not limited to, midos, looks, yichus, intact family, geographic desirability, earning potential, etc.
There are more girls in the parsha than boys. If the numbers were even, there would be the same amount of boys unmarried as girls.
No he didn’t. Just saying the name of a daf is not a raya.
if they can take care of it quietly, your son will have a great summer.
And if not, he will probably have a disastrous summer, with possible severe long term effects.
It’s also unfair to the counselors.
Naftush, you’ve just excised an entire mitzvah from the Torah with your “logic”. I guess you don’t like lifnei iver.
I’d prefer the Torah’s way, in which we are commanded to withstand temptation, and also prohibited from presenting others with temptation.
The two are by no means mutually exclusive.
Frumgirl93,
If you define the problem as too many girls not getting married, as opposed to boys, then you’re pointing at an inequality in the numbers of girls and boys in the shidduch parsha. Changing dating habits would hardly help.
If you were to define the problem as girls seldom being “redt” shidduchim, this might help. That’s a very narrow definition of the problem, though.
I took a blood test. I studied very hard, but I got only B-.
Toi, I agree. I thought the same way. The key words (regarding ROB’s opinion) being “those cases”.
Go for it.
Just curious though: how do you define “the shidduch crisis”?

As I pointed out, ROB, the gemara in A”Z gives us clear basic guidelines.
The word “BECAUSE”, it should be pointed it out, is ROB’s, not the gemara’s.
No he didn’t. Just saying the name of a daf is not a raya. Besides, he was referring to a different inyan.
What does hamotzi mechaveiro have to do with anything?
Let him bring specific mekoros and explain how they support his position, instead of merely vaguely naming mesechtos.
Kosher Palette is the name of a cookbook. The title is a play on words.
Of course I did. To say that one gemara which paskens l’kula makes it the rule is laughable. I though your son straightened you out on that.
Give him the choice.
I personally would choose the medium NVS.
ROB, if these Maseru m’komos are anything like the ones you’ve shown me before (e.g. Pesachim 74b), I’ve got nothing to worry about.
Are you in favor of emptying put the kollelim in the US and having all the avreichim joining Hatzolah?
Again, they don’t say violence is acceptable.
MZ, would anyone starting a thread be a troll under your definition (unless the obscure part is m’akev)?
I wonder if ZBerman (the New Vilna Shas is theirs) would be cheaper (stores; I think .com is under different ownership).
The difference is that the Arabs have it in their textbooks. Violence is part of their “chinuch”.
At worst, violence in the chareidi community is a negative byproduct of strongly held hashkafos. I don’t think you believe that they teach it in cheder.
Am I still the only one who noticed that there are two almost identical threads, except that one only shows one post on the front page, and is dropping lower down (but shows all posts)?
Weird glitch.
Finally, do you agree that the “chalmis” condone the attack?
If it was physical, likely most don’t. But if I would say I knew for sure, I’d be guilty of the same type of “biased” judgement I’ve accused others of (although “guilty” is probably the wrong word, since there is a chiyuv to judge others favorably).
Even if you are correct, let’s expand the conversation. What in the world is Gimmel thinking by not condemning the attack?
I don’t know if they know that it was a physical attack. Even if they know that it was, it’s pretty clear to me that they don’t agree with it, and I don’t know enough about Israeli politics to know why they would or wouldn’t make a statement on it.
ZD and GAW, which politicians condemn is based completely on political, not moral, considerations, and is a separate discussion.
I took a quick look online. The New Vilna Shas is less expensive than the Oz V’hadar, and unless you have the budget to offer a choice, I would go for it. It’s a beautiful set inside and out.
Mazel Tov!
Typical Chosson Shas is full size, not medium or peninim. The typeset is larger.
Is Oz V’hadar more expensive than the new Vilna Shas? The NVS is beautiful. Does Talman have a new print? I wouldn’t buy a set of Shas nowadays that wasn’t completely computer typeset.
How do you know which version is true? I don’t. I think it’s just another assumption you’re making out of bias.
More importantly, you’re condemning people for not condemning an act which you, and probably they, don’t even know happened.
It’s mostly politics.
So it’s mostly kosher?
And I would venture to guess that if you told this secular people, they would feel frustrated that chareidim don’t serve simply because there are others to pick up the work. that’s not a halachic point, but think about how it would sound to them. “I can’t do this because YOU can, so go do it.”
So?
You shouldn’t be sending him to sleep away camp.
The other half is probably on the other thread.
(Am I the only one seeing this thread twice? It’s quite odd, because they have the same address, and when I post on one, the post goes up on both.)
In retrospect, I find this to be less of a joke and more of an apt social commentary and accurate description of a decrepit state of affairs we’ve found ourselves in as a people.
You have an odd way of expressing your so called love for all Jews.
My feeling is that most Haredim will be deemed unfit for combat, so they’ll end up serving in the capacity of a “conscientious objector,” i.e. peeling potatoes, emptying latrines, etc.
This is how you express your achdut during the nine days? I guess it might be a little better than your earlier call for deportation of the chareidim.
Also reported by YWN, but, for some reason, not quoted by yichusdik:
According to reporter Avishai Ben-Chaim, the soldier was verbally attacked with insulting and hateful words but he was not physically attacked, quoting police investigators on his Facebook page on Wednesday morning, 3 Menachem Av.
RF, what I am telling you is halachah l’maaseh. Where it’s “efshar al y’dai acherim” (which it is) one doesn’t stop learning.
Talmud Torah k’neged kulom trumps the importance of hatzolas nefashos.
This is a halachic shaila. The reasoning I gave is, I believe, correct, and likely the reason any posek would give.
Yerachmiel Lopin
Ugh.
She posted that months ago.
????? ???? ???? ????.
It’s the same reason yeshivah bochurim and avreichim in chu”l generally don’t join Hatzolah, which doesn’t even carry the ruchniyusdik’e dangers of the IDF.
Maybe the same as is done in yeshivos.
Horde to bare.
Yichusdik, nobody here defended attacks on soldiers. You’re conflating the issues and creating a straw man.
Boo boo?
That wasn’t a twisted fact, it was a misguided assumption.
