They were, in order to continue to learn without “reichayim al tzavaro”. But they were emotionally ready to handle marriage.
Mind you, I think it’s a perfectly good reason to push it off.
I don’t think it said to go out before you’re ready, just not to push it off any longer once you’re ready.
An automatic troll detector.
I think shmendrick’s back.
You shouldn’t worry about something which is beyond your control.
I know plenty of people with stuttering problems who married wonderful spouses. It’s actually a good filter; you’ll surely marry someone who is understanding and patient!
Hatzlocha!
WIY,
Some need it, some don’t.
Uneeq,
The latter.
You saw that in his profile?
WIY,
You describe yourself as “a very ruchniyusdik frum guy” and say, “I am very into my Judaism”.
Well, you should be looking for a ruchniyusdik frum girl who is very into her Judaism.
You should not really care how much time she spends learning, if she fits those qualifications.
The term “lamdan” is used in different ways. The typical “yeshivishe” usage is the for word “lamdan” to be used in contrast to the term “talmid chacham”. “Lamdan” refers to someone who is able to make fine distinctions within a sugya, with deep analysis. Think R’ Chaim Brisker, The Brisker Rov, R’ Shimon Shkop.
“Talmid chacham” is used to describe someone with a large breadth of Torah knowledge, also referred to as “b’kius”. The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive, but some excel in one area more than the other.
The term used for someone who spends a lot of time learning, and/or whose learning is focused, is “masmid”.
the moment you pick and choose which halakhot you wish to keep and not keep, you’ve effectively separated yourself from the Torah
Well said.
Yes, sb, not your fault.
I was looking at his profile to see if women are still Jewish.
And…?
Snowbunny,
He was being sarcastic.
no
Old man,
Not that it’s the same, but if someone came here to ask if they should go to Burger King or MacDonalds, would you expect people to ignore the fact that the OP was doing something wrong?
If you post asking for advice in the CR, expect those with halachic OR hashkafic objections to voice them. And expect someone (as you did) to come along and object to the objections. That’s what the CR is all about.
As far as giving musser – aren’t you doing just that?
1) I don’t turn to anonymous strangers for advice (although asking non personal questions, such as where to repair an ipod, makes sense) .
2) In real life, you have to deal with people, so if you’re having an issue, you need to learn how to cope. If I felt like I was being bullied in the CR, and couldn’t tolerate it, I would just leave.
Hershi,
I wouldn’t open a thread about intetrnet bullying.
it occurred to me that all this ‘troll activity’ keeps people coming back to the CR,
Bingo!
It helps defray the cost of the menthol traveling to and from interviews.
I didn’t know toothpaste was so expensive. 🙂
Oy vey, my auto-correct made my post go haywire. It was supposed to read “beis midrash”.
Uneeq,
The problem is, most interesting, controversial threads are started by [a] troll(s).
Kozov,
I don’t disagree. I thought it was in very poor taste, for example, to interrupt the “What it means to be poor” thread with his drivel. But some of his stuff was still funny – kind of a CR Purim shpiel.
But I would have also blocked him (in fact, sooner), because of the inappropriate stuff, and because people were falling for it.
I believe that Sefardim believe in making a public Bat Mitzvah celebration.
GAW,
You have to be realistic and not force someone into an embarrassing situation. Kavod habrios demands not forcing a chossid into the bris Mideast without a shtreimel.
One post calling someone a troll is called bullying? That’s a bit over the top.
I didn’t say he should stay; too many people aren’t getting the joke.
But it doesn’t surprise me that greatest wants him to stay. Right, OneOfMany?
Ferd, that was one of several plagiarized halachos. WIY pointed out what he was doing before I did. I only knew to check because of WIY’s research.
Oomis, he’s referring to the fact that a mod called him a troll. This threat indicates that the mod was right.
I’m actually enjoying your posts. I think you have nice sense of humor, I’m just afraid that some people are taking you seriously.
Straight from Hirhurim (also quoted on BeyondBT). You should have changed “Terumat Hadeshen” to “Terumas Hadeshen” and “Iggerot Moshe” to Igros Moshe if you wanted to pretend that this was coming from a BMG guy.
WIY,
I wasn’t suggesting that the OP is a troll or that it’s not a valid discussion, just that the posts suggesting that the wife be locked up and such were posted by a troll.
Wolf,
You’re hired as executive director. 🙂
MorahRach,
You are being gullible. This is a troll.
It’s definitely not the mainstream yeshivish attitude.
Repharim,
It’s been two months for you. Does that make you a troll? 🙂
How often does one have to post to avoid being a troll?
ZD,
Who said anything about forcing someone?
anon1m0us,
You totally misread part of CH3’s post.
APY,
Natural
Yes, but since BMG assers it other than for parnassah, you’re not allowed in the BM.
Do MO schools also understand?
I can’t generalize, but based on one story I know, you’re right. Someone I know, who has a large family and sends his kids to MO schools, is making aliyah because he can’t afford tuition, although he has a large income. The tuition in MO schools, from what I’m told, is higher than in chareidi schools, and they (at least in this case) don’t easily give breaks.
GAW,
Does the S”A say one should compromise his halachic standards?
We do find such a concept regarding d’mai, but that was built into the din.
ZD,
On another thread you advocated boycotting a store which carries Twizzlers with an extra sticker. And on this thread, you wrote, “Its extortion plain and simple”. To you, this is not just about saving a few cents.
Our phone line in the bungalow colony was once crossing with someone else’s (we immediately told them). When I called Verizon to complain, the rep gave me a credit. While I was on with her, the other person’s conversation started coming through. The rep put me on hold, and came back on and told me that she gave me an even bigger credit! That summer, they actually paid me to have a phone.
Maybe blackhatwannabe is Doswin’s uncle.
Tuition committees understand that it takes more money to raise a large family.
I don’t think Henny Youngman is very “pop” nowadays.
Oh, and it’s a “he”. “Take my wife…please!” would likely be a man’s quote.
Toi,
He’s probably starting, so he needs to know what to keep and what to throw out.
Wolf,
Similar to the famous Henny Youngman joke?
BTW, I think Mike and Ike’s uses some questionable food coloring in some flavors, which aren’t in the ones with the stickers.
If Ruffles has a heimishe hechsher (I’ve never seen it), then they make sure it’s bishul Yisroel. Some poskim require it for potato chips.
Some salad mixes have a KAJ sticker on them. They are more stringent in the standards for cleaning and inspecting for insects.
Some cereals also involve bishul Yisroel issues.
I don’t know whether Twizzlers involves any change, or it’s simply a marketing tool. Either way, it’s valid, because some people simply do not automatically accept the national hechsherim, because they are meikil on certain halachos which some heimishe hechsherim are machmir on, and its easier to buy items with a hechsher which keeps one’s personal standards than to do research on every product.
The purpose, believe it or not, is not to make you, ZD, pay more. You can still buy your Twizzlers in Walmart if you want. Nobody’s stopping you. I buy mine in Costco, but it doesn’t bother me in the slightest if my local kosher supermarket carries Twizzlers with a shtreimel on it.
