0.79 fatalities for driving per 100 million traveled miles on urban roads
< 0.5 for flying commercial
but higher for using general aviation – 10You’re making a huge mistake, because if we banned driving, people would travel less and be safer.
Charlie Hall how does you showing the NYPD officer your receipt stop the fare evaders?
Do you think they have roach hakodesh to know who the fare evaders are?
That’s how lost chasidim hold
What do chasidim who have found themselves hold?
Wow, a cameo appearance by hello99! So nice to see you!
If the therapist cannot control themselves when the patient is vulnerable, then he is not a good therapist.
Having a yetzer hora doesn’t mean one isn’t a good therapist.
Why would a religous person become a licensed, certified mental health professional? The potential for יחוד and inappropriate relationships should suggest that it isnt a “frum” profession.
Male therapist should only see male patients, and female patients should only have female therapists. Problem solved.
The reason this isn’t a simple “supply and demand” issue is because a good Jewish education is not a luxury item.
In many countries, items such as basic food, housing, and medical care are subsidized and don’t completely fit in to the supply and demand model.
Without more “government subsidies” (philanthropy), the schools cannot provide the superior product which we do not consider a luxury, so following the regular rules of supply and demand, which leaves the schools staffed by inexperienced and underskilled teachers.
I can’t tell if you are anti frum or just a bigot.
I’ll be dan l’kaf z’chus that he’s just drunk.
(while the husbands learn in kollel)
We all know how much you hate Kollel, but what does it have to do with this discussion?
The reason Fauci wants us to wear masks so is we can’t speak up in protest of the vaccine, in which there are tracking devices which make sure we don’t travel to Roswell.
HaLeiVi, the fact that someone is willing to sacrifice his comfort and do a mitzvah even when it seems bizarre and embarrassing, is a form of mesiras nefrsh and therefore a kiddush Hashem.
Syag, everyone has Covid. No other illnesses exist anymore. Don’t you keep up with the news?
The kikayon wasn’t made by reshaim with the intent to destroy Yiddishkeit.
Heresy? It’s Zionism which is heresy.
Have you read בעיות הזמן? Perhaps you think you are iyf stature to argue with R’ Reuven Grozovsky?
Obviously there are those who disagree who have the stature to do so. But I suspect that none of them comment in the YWN comment fields.
Perhaps not, but we heard it from people who most definitely did have the stature to not only disagree, but declare, as Avira said, that he wasn’t merely wrong; his opinion was based on foreign influence.
And you don’t have the stature to disagree with them either…
AAQ, please, I beg of you, stop making your twisted halachic proclamations.
They are painful to read.
Why would it be? Is it Shiluach Haken to light Chanukah lights?
Doing a mitzvah, particularly in public, and particularly when it’s not comfortable, brings glory to Hashem’s name.
Sending away a mother bird does not ignite a menorah.
but you seem to be more interested in a hypothetical crazt flight attendant rather than in typical cases.
I’m just responding to the hypothetical case Avram mentioned.
You decided she’s a rasha or deranged. Maybe she’s just in a bad mood and/or thinks it’s rude that he won’t respond? It’s just a hypothetical story anyhow.
Yet still you can’t/won’t answer.
If you do want to bring Covid into the picture
I was actually teasing you because you do that all the time even where there’s no shaychus.
Look up my posts above and review references therein of multiple gedolim pointing various nekudos what can be inappropriate
That’s exactly what I’m talking about! You brought that in this discussion where it doesn’t belong.
If you are suggesting a Zeresh character
The story didn’t say she was a Zeresh character or deranged. There would presumably not be a way to know
The story didn’t describe any trace of an inappropriate action on the part of the frum couple. Why you inserted that is quite curious and perhaps informative.
Why can’t you don’t answer that in the story as presented, he made no chillul Hashem?
Why can’t it just be neither?
You don’t think it’s a kiddush Hashem to do a mitzvah?
I am saying that if there is a trace of inappropriate behavior in the man, that he is doing some aveira, however slight. Even if he is in a window seat.
He was davening. I guess you think that’s inappropriate if it’s not outdoors??
Please dont include situations where exceptions weren’t granted or the employees weren’t sensitive to religous tastes.
Why not? That would be the most likely form the antisemitism would take.
TS Baum, as mentioned above, although kiruv is grey, the successful ends don’t justify the inappropriate means.
As Avira and Shimon pointed out, if someone is following the halacha properly, it a kiddush Hashem, not a chillul Hashem.
Halacha takes into consideration not to disturb people, etc, so TS Baum is totally missing the point when saying keeping the halacha can be a c”H.
The fact that AAQ can’t answer Avram’s question in a direct manner demonstrates that some people conflate kiddush Hashem with making goyim happy and/or not doing anything to embarrass frum Jews.
Although those frequently correlate, they are not synonymous, and if there is a conflict, following the halacha is ultimately the kiddush Hashem even if it looks strange and/or angers goyim, and violating Halacha is a chillul Hashem even if it seems to curry favor with goyim.
<em,>Do you work for the Corrupt government or you just believe whatever you’re told?!?
You keep telling everyone to read some wacko fringe website, then complain that I believe everything I read?
Read Scott Alexander who debunked a lot more than the one blatant fraud.
Also, everyone, his name is Avram.
It seems to me from all this poskim that the answer to Avrum’s question is –
Seems to me you misread his question.
Why didn’t you make this same point when referencing the flag waving motorcades here: https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/affinity-for-donald-trump
Are loud motorcades ok for a goyish politician, but not for Chanukah?
Chapped. 🔥🔥
I think both are wrong for the same reason, although arguably, the menorah has more of an upside.
I guess 60 or more studies aren’t good enough for them!
Many were fraudulent or invalid, and the few which seemed to show ivermectin prevents death were all in locations with a high prevalence of worms.
Speak for yourself
Ask your LOR
That’s basically an admission that you don’t know.
You’d be better off just not posting.

Philosopher: Is one Brocha that Hashem gave us inspiring while another Brocha that Hashem gave us not inspiring?
Good point. I suppose the next big hit by Shwekey will be “על פדיון פטר חמור”.
As is well known, some of the popular frum singers have made albums that include a song “shelo asani goy”. Very nice. But why have none of them included a song shelo asani isha?
Why make a song which only applies to half of the population when you can make one which applies to everyone?
If you were truly curious, rather than trying to offend, you would have asked about שלא עשני עבד as well.
Ultimately, the consensus was that it would be better off for man to not be born and have to contend with the challenges of this world.
Not better, ch”v. Easier.
Nevertheless, good pshat.
“Ashkenazic” is not a race.
Ok, fine. So you’re stam a soneh Yisrael and a ba’al machlokes.
And, yes, there are probably more important things to talk about in 2021 than the CR poster Yabia Omer.
“Who said that Y.O. is even Sephardic??”
You did! 🙄🙄🙄
Good catch. Here, though, he said he isn’t.
Who is Rav Shlomo Kanievsky? Is he being groomed to be the next Godol HaDor?
More contagious and more lethal. Like the delta variant.
Is Delta inherently more lethal, or only more lethal because it’s more contagious?
Vaccines have little to No effect.
We don’t know that yet.
Oh I know, everyone Cower in their Houses.
How about Okaying Ivermectin?!?
Naw, it’s too Cheap and the Pharmaceutical companies can’t make Billions!Also, it doesn’t work.
Other cheap repurposed drugs do work, so why are you pushing Ivermectin? If you have worms, by all means take Ivermectin, but otherwise it’s likely useless and potentially harmful.
I think halacha allows that as long as you are aware of the pricing. If you were to come in without doing market research and he would add the price without explaining, this would be wrong and you could demand it back if overcharge was more than 1/6 (20 percent of normal price)
There no ona’ah on real estate, and that’s what a room rental is.
Might be a poor business decision if it annoys the customers too much, but I don’t otherwise see a problem with it.
If the Rosh Yeshivos said to vote for Biden, would you still vote for Trump or sit the election out?
I would pose the same question to you, about Trump.
