Remember if yeshivas get vouchers, Madrassas’s will get them too and other religious schools as well
Why should that bother me?
And if vouchers do become legal, they will not pay for Limude Kodesh, but would pay for secular education and the state would have the right to dictate what secular education is taught
They already do.
You said clise to 8,000 in BMG kollel.
That’s not a defense of your position.
Wasn’t supposed to be. Regardless, you didn’t answer the question.
There are cases in halacha where life and death matters are not decided by a simple numerical majority of lives saved and where the proper course of action to take is one where more people die.
That’s not a defense of your position.
I heard rav gifter used to hang an American flag outside his house
I heard Meno hangs salamis at the top of the staircase going down to the basement.
Simple. Keep a piece of salami lodged up each nostril.
The additional benefit is that you can go back to telling your wife to get the laundry.
I tried complimenting my wife by telling her that her food was very good for my pursuit of prishus.
That didn’t go over very well.
But we’re so good at stigmatizing people over things that have little or no consequence…
Are you suggesting that mental illness is of little or no consequence?
NPGS is no longer non profit, but they kept the initials as the stores’ names.
There’s no accounting for taste.
Especially with people who drink Folger’s.
If you don’t like the smell of salami, you probably won’t like the taste either.
Write away.
I’m not convinced that a numerical superiority is the proper way to judge that.
How would you judge it?
I think your overwhelming trust in arch-conservative lawmakers to make sensible exceptions in certain cases is severely misplaced.
Who says it would be overturned entirely by arch-conservatives? They would likely need to concede exceptions, even if they didn’t want to.
For argument’s sake, let’s say it became illegal in all cases. Still, it’s hard to imagine that more halachically mandated abortions would be prevented than ones that are halachically proscribed.
DY, what will you answer when you are asked if you leard דבר בתוך דבר?
I don’t understand what you’re asking.
TONIGHT DINA EVENT:
educating our community on legal and buissness topics. in Williamsburg
The continental 75 Rutledge stLearn to use spell check.

Maybe he means that
ואפלו היו המומין ההם בבעלה, יכולה היא לומר לאחיך הייתי יכולה לקבל ולך איני יכולה לקבל
is because she loved him. It doesn’t say that, though.
Right – I’m asking him to explain his reference.
Love conquers all (EH 165:4)
Care to explain?
DY, in debt? They made a million but spent $2 million?
Nothing close to that. A simple kollel family not involved in any such numbers or shenanigans. There may be a bigger investigation going on in which innocent, or at least less guilty, people are getting caught up in.
While I still see that to be lying and illegal, that seems to be a misrepresentation of what the case is really about.
I don’t know about all, but at least one family struggles to make ends meet (is in fact in debt). It wouldn’t surprise me if they’re exonerated.
Yes they do.
Even if there’s something better than what they recommend?
They got the money from taxes, which they have the right to collect.
Who gave them the right to collect taxes?
People without mental illness don’t have emuna and bitachon? Why is that implication not discriminatory?
You can’t compare a restaurant to a grocery. The way business is conducted is very different.
In a restaurant, there is someone providing the food before you pay for it. This is not the case in a grocery.
Obviously, if the store isn’t makpid, it’s okay, but I don’t know how you could just assume that they’re not.
The fact that “it’s done” doesn’t convince me. The store owner nay not want to antagonize his customer by telling them to stop, but that doesn’t mean that he likes it.
Where did the government get the money from?
I have no idea what the lease said, but if it compromised kashrus, they need to comply with the hechsher’s demands.
That doesn’t make them wrong in some cases, it just means they weren’t saying a blanket rule.
What about it?
The Bach would amend Joseph’s comment to this:
Winnie, although common practice is as you say – because yiras shomayim in our generation is lacking – meikar hadin the owner is trusted (if he is a shomer Torah umitzvos).
Winnie, you only partially quoted me.
To slightly rephrase:
Common practice is as you say, because yiras shomayim in our generation is lacking. However, meikar hadin, the owner is trusted (if he is a shomer Torah umitzvos).
“but most stores don’t allow”
what makes you say that?Some stores certainly don’t allow.
Unless you know that this store allows, you can’t assume that they do.
It’s usually easy enough to ask.
I was hoping for Rashi, but I guess I should be happy I wasn’t called Shteinzaltz.
Sprint and T-Mobile are very spotty in the Catskills. Verizon and At&t have better overall coverage, although it varies from place to place.
I’m pretty sure Sprint works in Camp Agudah.
Ubiq, that’s fine if the shver is emotionally supportive as well.
A girl from a wealthy family is more likely to want a higher (more expensive) standard of living.
Also, the literal bas talmid chochom has lived through it, while the virtual bas talmid chochom has merely learned about it, and there’s a big difference.
What ubiq is saying is that using a common expression is not lying.
Winnie, although common practice is as you say, because yiras shomayim in our generation is lacking, meikar hadin, the owner is trusted (if he is a shomer Torah umitzvos).
Menachem Mendel Schneerson is alive.
He is a partner in Basil.
Really? Am I the only one that makes decisions based on price?
Yes. Don’t believe the others. They’re pulling your leg.
You do buy Folgers, don’t you?
I agree with LC.
It means that it’s not allowed according to the NYC Department of Health.
The church subsidizes it (it’s an investment for them) and they have very cheap labor (nuns get paid a lot less than rebbeim).
Some guilt is good, and some is indeed the yetzer hora.
Some is both, it depends how you deal with it.
You really need a personal mentor to sort out the different situations and how to deal with them.
