Yes, GAW, I got that he’s using the Satmar shittah against them. I am too upset at the anti-Satmar hatred spewed on this site to be amused, though.
42,
Who’s to say they won’t listen to them when she’s away?
Yekke2,
You are neglecting to mention the opinion of the poskim that there’s geneivah of “intellectual property”.
Mdd,
Your argument is disingenuous. The charedim (or anyone else) are not permitted to go to work without first doing army service.
Note that the article made no mention of a protest, only of an attempt to persuade. The fist sentence in the article mentioned anger, but didn’t say how that anger expressed itself, other than attempting to convince the TSA not to do the inspection.
So why do you assume that the money will be used for a private jet?
ZD,
We assume people to be Jewish based on chazakah; a family known to be Jewish is assumed to actually be Jewish. Tat presumption, though, becomes suspect when there are known factors to question it. We no longer assume, unfortunately, that someone coming from non-Orthodox movements is definitely Jewish, because they define Jewishness differently than we do. I would think that this includes the Karaites too, unless, as daniela implies, we still assume that the majority are halachically Jewish, and any specific indivial is presumed to be from the majority.
ZD,
Let me get this straight. Someone asked you to donate towards a fund to charter a private jet for the Satmar Rebbe?
Mdd,
Why wasn’t it good enough for you that Derech Hamelech answered your question?
And, “Chillul Hashem”? No, doing the right thing when it seems wrong to people with secular hashkafos is not chillul Hashem. Quite the opposite.
Leyzer,
You wrote, “Why is the Yeshiva velt so opposed to giving anything back to the State of Israel?”, and pba claimed that this showed that you wrote lekanter. You deny that. Fine. But don’t you see that when you write against the chareidi position in such an inflammatory way, it certainly doesn’t lend itself to being perceived as impartial?
Squeak, I’ve never had TR, I just know it’s cheaper than others. What do you mean “henpecked”?
Are you making a reference to Fiddler on the Roof?
Aside from other reasons, who decides which bochurim stay in Yeshiva and which go to the army?
42, no Mattisyahu this year?
ZD,
The same Wikipedia article (if that’s where you got your info from) also states that others do not consider them Jewish.
If they believe in patrilineal descent, it’s easy to understand how someone could question their status.
Just noticing the irony.
ZD,
Who ruled them Jewish?
Feminism is a form of “social justice”.
Tevya’s Ranch?
Looks lot a lot of other posts in the CR.
No.
Mostly Music has many free downloads. Those should be fine.
As far as the OP, your geirus might very well be valid; check with a competent posek.
The Tannaim debate whether Kusim were legitimate geirim or not, because their motives for conversion were questionable.
It is only a recent phenomenon that some demagogues claim that legitimate rabbinical authorities cannot make a determination that a conversion was invalid from its onset.
ZD,
Ketchup seems to be considered a liquid, which is assur to reheat on Shabbos; it’s considered bishul according to some opinions.
A solid food such as chicken, is still considered a kli rishon (which causes bishul) when hot, according to some opinions, even after being transferred.
It follows that it should be assur to put ketchup on chicken, but R’ Moshe permits it, because there are opposing opinions on both issues, and we don’t need to be machmir on both halachos simultaneously.
Attach a cord between the bluetooth and the phone.
RD,
It sounds like you want a Mesivta gemara in English.
ZD,
That’s all part of the question. Obviously, if the owner says he doesn’t want it back, there’s no problem. The question is whether he needs to ask.
WIY,
It didn’t work for you. It worked for me.
SaysMe and 42,
If I understand WIY correctly, the shiduchim would be redt offline by live shadchanim. The database would just be a way of allowing easy access to information.
It’s assur to steal less than a pruta, it’s just that there’s no recourse in beis din.
I know you need two different “minim”, but who says they have to be two separate brachos?
If the principal is makpid, it probably is geneivah – not from the parents, from the school.
ZD,
One doesn’t pasken from the CR, but one can discuss.
WIY, I’m surprised that you haven’t grasped the age gap/population growth issue yet.
Frummy, yes we understand it the same way.
APY,
I’m not denying it. I’m just saying that if that’s wrong, then so is this.
WIY,
See Rash”i Kidushin 29b s.v. “l’hu” (five lines from the botom).
How many Yeshivas in the US deny education to kids IN THE USA because the parents “Arent Frum enough”
Zahavasdad, do you agree with that?
ZD,
That doesn’t make it a C”H, although it might be unwise.
If you’re not ready, but the kol koreh tells you that you are, switch to Chofetz Chaim.
The current pot luck mess seems to get at least 95% married within a few years.
I don’t know if there ever was a shortage of males in the non-Jewish world or not. I don’t know if we would ever know about it if there was, for some of the reasons posted here by others.
The assumption that there should be one today, according to the age gap theory, is, though, incorrect.
While he is learning, give him instruction in a profession for two hours a day. It will not take away from his learning
Of course it will take away from his learning.
If they dont send bochrim to Israel earlier it doesnt matter
The point is to get them to skip E.Y. or at least cut their time time there shorter.
Would you make a kiddush Hashem by returning it?
They don’t have the population growth that we have.
What I have difficulty understanding is why my local elementary and high school charge a yearly registration fee of 200 dollars for a child who is already enrolled! What is the justification?
It helps pay the bills.
I assume the kol koreh means when they are actually ready in all respects with no qualifications.
I don’t.
The original Toronto Pirchei had a beautiful “Al tira ki ya’shir ish”.
MBD sang “Usid HKB”H” on “Efshar L’taken”.
We can call it “Artscroll”.
Yes, Bar Shattya, I did notice the implications. But as I said, some choose to wait, even some time after being emotionally ready.
Also, the freezer forces some additional waiting time, so the kol koreh would suggest going to Lakewood earlier than the current norm.
The NASI ad reads: “…our Gedolim have called on us to encourage our bochurim to get married a the earliest appropriate time”. i don’t have the text of the actual Kol Koreh which was signed by many gedolim, but IIRC it was similar.
