Threaten the boss that if he doesn’t give you $100,000, you’ll report him to the authorities. (Because you said other than ask a shaila 🙂
I have two frum families homeschooling on my block. To say “most families can’t do it” IMHO is a cop out.
It’s not a cop-out. It’s true. Saying it’s a cop-out is to claim that most parents could really be good teachers, but they nevertheless chose a different career, which is occasionally, but not usually the case, and to say otherwise, besides being IMHO untrue, is an insult to our rebbeim, moros, and teachers.
And those choosing to homeschool, in many communities, are not doing anyone a favor; their limited tuition is still something that the schools could have benefited from.
And the numbers given by SJS and zahavasdad, IME, are overinflated; most parents, in the schools I’m familiar with, are not paying nearly that much in tuition (either they are paying less than full, or tuition is not that much to begin with).
I know a lot of people living in Lakewood. Not a single one demanded a down payment from the parents. Mod 80, you hit the nail on the head.
*Except the ‘??”? ??”? ??”? ???? ?. *
That’s a minhag, not a halachah. There is a difference!
That difference is not that it can be disregarded in someone else’s home!
Something which may have started as a ???? becomes a ???. Specifically by ??????, the ??”? says
“??? ?????? ?????? ?????? ?????? ???? ????? “.
The ?”?, when explaining the development of the ???, says, “?????? ????? ????” and, “????”.
*Except the ‘??”? ??”? ??”? ???? ?. *
Also worth mentioning is that we don’t even follow all the Remah’s minhagim! For example, the six closest Ashkenazic synagogues to me recite Hallel in shul on the first night of Pesach.
This one is universally (AFAIK) accepted by ???????.
“he claims he received such a psak”
What is the basis for such a psak. Gebrokts is agreed by everyone to be minhag, not halachah.
The minhag may have been to not allow keilim either.
(i.e. having communications on FB with an opposite gender.)
don’t we do that here all the time?
If pictures or personal contact information were allowed, most of us (I would guess) wouldn’t be here.
I don’t have facebook, and I don’t know how it works, but Philip Rosenthal, who does, highly recommends against it, certainly for teens.
The only “story” I know first hand about it was a (now married) friend of mine who closed his account in disgust when girls he had dated asked him to be his “friend”.
Like alcohol, the “anonymity” of sitting in front of a screen reduces inhibitions. Same with texting, etc.
Stam kelim enam ben yom?
You would only need that to use the dishwasher within 24 hours of when the ??? left the house.
But what if they serve onions and you use your fork and knife that were in the dishwasher?
Interesting thought. Following the same reasoning, if you kasher a ??? in a larger ???, both ???? ?? ????, if there is no ‘???? ?? (which is not required in this case), the larger ??? should never be subsequently used for a ??? ???? (this is, of course not the case).
The (? ??”? (??”? ?’ ?? quotes his son ?’ ??? ????”? who uses this ??? to be ???? washing dishes ?????? in a treif (???? ?? ????) dishwasher. R’ Moshe argues because it becomes part of the ???? of ???? ?? ???? ??? ?? ????. No mention is made of potential use of a knife (or fork to spear) a ??? ????.
A Yeshiva education is a luxury. Homeschooling is very cheap and you can hire someone for a few hours a week to supplement what you can’t.
Most people are not equipped to homeschool, and if they were, they would have to quit their jobs and would be worse off financially.
With rare exception, you don’t NEED meat and chicken. You can have a small piece l’kavod shabbos and that’s it.
Let’s see you live that way first, then you can comment.
You’re being ridiculously unrealistic here.
You don’t need ???? ???? ???? ????,
to know how he appeared so sudden.
You’re a hard worker,
but he’s just a lurker
Or is there a dual identity? ?? ????!
The word ciao (Italian pronunciation: [?t?a?o], English: /?t?a?/) is an informal Italian verbal salutation or greeting, meaning either “hello”, “goodbye”, “bye” or “hi”. Originally from the Venetian language, it was adopted into the Italian language and eventually entered the vocabulary of English and of many other languages around the world. The word is mostly used as “goodbye” or “bye” in English, but in modern Italian and in other languages it may mean “hello” or “goodbye”.
Either that, or food.
Yes, zahavasdad, it’s expensive to be frum. But it’s also a much more satisfying way of life, even in this world. And blaming the schools for overcharging (which, IMHO, is ridiculous since most run on a deficit even though waste is kept to a minimum) doesn’t help pay the bills.
BTW, no yeshiva or BY that I know of will insist on $50,000 tuition if your income is only $70,000. They’re not dumb, they know how to add.
“According to this, you could eat the actual kitniyos”
And you would violate absolutely no halachah by doing so.
Except the ‘??”? ??”? ??”? ???? ?.
zahavasdad,
The following specific comments address the books:

eclipse, wolf and popa!
You mean a committee, as in Lakewood?
Avram in MD,
Sorry about your loss. Just post your bank routing and account #s so I can deposit $ in your acctount to cover your fees.
They may ask me for your SS# for verification, so post that as well, just in case.
Yes. I am pretty sure my Rov holds that your minhag or the p’sak that you follow doesn’t necessarily override the p’sak someone else follows from a reliable rov.
According to this, you could eat the actual kitniyos, as long as your Sephardi host has a reliable rov.
Nothing new…
or will they give you grief the first time you do not attend a family Bar Mitzvah that is more bar than mitzvah?
Good line. I also agree with the sentiment.
First get me a teacher earning $50k…. Then, I might agree w/you that schools/yeshivas are on a tight budget.
So you think the yeshivas have loads of extra money around?
Read this, with the comments. You aren’t the first person to not properly understand a school’s actual expenses and income, and you won’t be the last.
The actual number I heard is about $10K a year.
Not in the schools charging 10k+ in tuition.
But this is supposed to be oxymorons not redundancies or repetitions,
I introduced some redundancies earlier.
redundancies or repetitions
That’s one!
The money is going somewhere.
Where do you think it’s going? Do you agree with Mod. 80?
Wolf,
Yes, since it’s not a ben-yomo, the food is muttar b’dieved anyhow.
Did I miss something?
Yes. So did I.
Zahavasdad,
OK, so what do you suggest?
Would coveting it not involve the issur of jealousy?
He doesn’t want it because “yenem” has it, he wants it because it’s nostalgic.
Oh, and if the am hanivchar is superior on all levels in all regards across the board, why are we in golus, exactly?
Do you think that being in golus is determined by how we compare to the nations?
I don’t.
Religious Zionists would emphatically disagree with that statement.
They would be wrong, at the expense of being m’zalzel in the honor of a true adam gadol.
“so too does a woman/girl have a right to say she wants to marry someone who does wear a hat.”
Yes, we have a right to be stupid.
If she wants only someone who wears a hat and doesn’t care about anything else, that’s stupid. If it’s one prerequisite, then it’s not so simple.As an example, if a chassidishe girl would insist on a boy who will wear a streimel, would that be stupid? It would be, in fact, stupid for her not to insist on that; she’d be going out of her cultural boundaries and just asking for trouble.
Your example of you with your wife is unfair; we don’t know either of you.
I don’t have a TV. Does that make me no longer Modern Orthodox?
It makes you smart. 🙂
At least you only wear $15 shirts.
Tip #2: Keeping Your Automobile Properly Fueled
- 1) Pull up to full service pump with fuel cap facing pump
2) Roll down window
3) When attendant comes, say, “fill ‘er up on regular”
I would open it first.
dvorak,
Quit changing the topic. 😉
Wolf,
There probably was no good reason not to post your link, nor one or two of my links, but the moderator might have had many posts to approve and didn’t have time to visit your link (and mine) and check it out as well.
I’m with oomis on this one. The OP was baloney. Her answer was wry. (Derech Hamelech, I apologize for not talking respectively. 🙂
the shirt was ruined … when a large part of it disappeared.
Then it’s takeh not tzniusdig.
Is it true, alcohol lowers ones inhibitions?
I’ve seen that a number of times.
BTW, the reason so many posts said the same thing is probably because they were posted when the earlier ones were not yet approved.
Or they thought they were being funny.
Now everyone try to be funny and repeat my post… 😉
Wolf, i found the link, thank you
See that, Wolf, you did the mitzva anyway!
Please be advised that we do not post links here in the CR that are not on the Kosher Website list.
Why wouldn’t hebrewbooks.org be on that list?
Why don’t you ask the same rav this additional detail?
Personally, I would think that if merely an exchange of information (“shidduch resumes”), it’s okay, but any actual shidduchim should definitely be done through someone else, and the two of you should not even know if any of each other’s suggestions are being followed through on.
Since ma nafshach he’s going to break the rules, shave v’al ta’aseh adif (unless he doesn’t grow a beard naturally, such as a young boy).
Do you think that Hashem isnt capable fo taking care of those “costs” for you? You say tehillim and let Hashem take care of the costs. Saying tehillim is never bad.
That explains why most of your posts are so ridiculous; you’re too busy saying Tehillim to think about what you’re writing.
Wolf,
They have been quite restrictive lately; don’t take it personally. They didn’t allow a link I posted to a teshuva written by R’ Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld on hebrewbooks.org.
metrodriver,
I agree with you about “Szol a Kokosh Mar”. Not about Yidden. And it’s not about who wrote it, it’s about the way it sounds. As a certain R”Y told the band playing at his child’s chasunah (as legend goes) “I hate Yidden and I don’t want Moshiach!”
pba,
Don’t tell hhhh what not to do.
yup! I figured the majority of Mods were in walled cities celebrating Purim 😉
Either that or hung over. I guess they don’t drink in moderation :).
Bad idea. Bad for your middos, bad for your reputation (if someone catches on), and bad for shidduch prospects (if someone knew you were no longer married, maybe they would have an idea for you).
My suggestion? Just say the truth in as subtle way as possible.
Examples:
What’s your married name?
I went back to my original name which is _____ .
Where do you live?
_____ Street.
What does your husband do? (trickier one)
I haven’t kept up with my ex-husband.
* Yes, I’m well aware that some might say that this makes me a hypocrite. Consider it a character flaw of mine.
I wouldn’t merely consider hypocrisy an incidental flaw; someone who fumes at one who talks during davening yet himself talks during laining is likely not fuming out of righteous indignation, but out of personal annoyance.
I have a theory, though. I think when you say that you talk during laining, you’re just using a clever play on words; you are actually the one reading the Torah (you’ve mentioned that you are a ba’al koreh), hence the reference to “talking” during laining. If so, you’re not a hypocrite, but something which I’ve accused you of before: overly self-critical.
Am I correct about your reference to talking during laining?
