    Yes, R’ Baruch Chait produced the Kol Salonika albums and composed many of the songs.

    Ma Ahavti is credited on the album back as an “Israeli Chassidic Song”.

    Skinny pants and shirts aren’t tzniusdig.

    Tznius isn’t only for women. (It isn’t limited to clothing either.)

    As far as dressing as they did in Slabodka, apparently before Slabodka, and in other yeshivos, they didn’t dress that way, so meiheicha teisi we should follow davka Slabodka?

    But Joseph feels that it’s OK to call me a liar. If he saw me face to face, he would realize that I am old enough to be his zeidi.

    How would he realize? Only Hashem knows how old you are.

    I think if we were talking face to face, you would feel the need to show a lot more kavod.

    I am not looking to make this thread a debate on kollel life

    Lol

    You take any possible opportunity to bash kollel. ZD mentioning kollel was completely a side point, and you turned it into one of your classic lengthly kollel bashing essays.

    I think we need to get the support of some of the big baalei tzedakah – Rechnitz, Herzka, and others. With their backing, a program like this can be implemented

    They give a lot of money to tzedaka, including yeshivos, already.

    The generosity of people like them is one of the reasons tuition in the types of schools they support is much lower than the tuition in the types of schools you refer to in Central Jersey.

    I don’t see how restructuring the system to raise base tuition and move tzedakah funds to subsidize it will solve the tuition crisis. For that, you either need to raise total income for the schools, or lower costs. Shuffling around the same money isn’t a solution.

    I am looking to get a couple sets that are classics and will be useful for the rest of my life.

    Definitely Mishnah Berurah if you don’t have one. Dirshu is a good idea.

    Another idea for a classic which you haven’t mentioned is a set of Mikraos Gedolos.

    The unpopular but sensible answer is to model a yeshiva after your local public school system.

    In NYC, the cost per student is around $18,000 annually. That’s not a sensible system to emulate.

    If the recent increase in anti-Semitism has anything to do with Trump, it’s more likely a counter-reaction to his pro-Israel stances, and his close association with many Jews, than with any personal anti-Semitic views.

    If Jews are supposed to dress differently than non- Jews, why do chasidim dress in the same clothes as 19th century Russian nobles

    There are other animals besides cows and pigs.

    Whether or not financial incentive plays a role is a machlokes between the Chasam Sofer and the Pri Chodosh (others as well). As Rav Moshe writes, the minhag in klal Yisroel was always like the Chasam Sofer, and Rav Moshe held that his heter works even according to the Chasam Sofer.

    The main reason I do not like this story ,is then you have the problem with the Gemara in Chullin 7a.

    Meh. He held it was muttar meikar hadin.

    If you still think he wouldn’t have drank cholov stam, so say it was cholov Yisroel but in a cholov stam container, but he wasn’t machzik himself a tzaddik. Either way, it’s a kashya oif a ma’aseh.

    The mishna in Maseches Megilla (perek 4) says that someone who only wants to daven in white shirts is suspected of heresy.

    Here’s a fun fact: when they routinely check your receipt as you leave Costco (and I suspect the same is true in other stores), they aren’t checking to make sure you didn’t steal stuff. They’re checking to make sure the cashiers rang stuff up correctly.

    It’s true. The internet said so.

    I just read that too. A few posts above.

    Any teshuva which states shas hadchak was not meant for the public.

    The teshuva to R’ Weinfeld was published in the מדריך לכשרות, and R’ Binyamin Forst shlit”a reprinted in in his sefer. So the Debriciner Rov zt”l and yblch”t Rav Forst Shlit”a don’t feel that way.

    There is no such thing as cholov stam anymore (except Germany), it’s called akum or cholov treif, per Igros Moshe

    Where in Igros Moshe?

    Rab Belsky’s heter is not based on the established facts the Vets do to the cows.

    Rav Belsky’s heter indeed seems weak, but others are mattir based on bittul (R’ Yecheskel Roth, and I believe that’s the basis on which R’ Dovid Feinstein is mattir as well.

    I may be wrong, but I don’t think R Moshe ever said not to rely on his heter.

    You are wrong. Rav Moshe writes that where CY is available, even at increased inconvenience and price (not significant), one should buy CY.

    The heter is still valid, but he’s saying that where it’s not too difficult, one should not rely on it.

    To those of you that have an issue with Rav Moshe’s heter, the non cholov Yisroel milks back then we’re not yet ou certified. Hence, he recommended Chalav Yisroel, if feasible and available.

    Today however, ou certified milk is plentiful and this hashgacha is as good or better than cholov Yisroel.

    That’s a total fabrication. Even the OU acknowledges the validity of the position to be makpid on CY.

    Reb Moshe never claimed chalav stam is literally chalav Yisroel

    He actually did. The heter is based on anan sahadi being the halachic equivalent of a Jew seeing the milking.

    You’re original statement was unconditional, implying that every case of mevushal wine is a heter.

    Come up with cholov Yisroel and tell people that ou and ok certified milk is not good enough. What a bunch of malarkey. The US regulatory system does not allow for foreign matter in dairy milk.

    You seem to be unaware of the fact that many poskim disagreed with R Moshe’s heter, and that even he said it’s better not to rely on it (and didn’t personally rely on it).
