Or attend one?
Rav ovadiah Yosef says co-ed yeshivah high school is better than public school, for communities that can only support one school. There are number sh’ut seforim that discuss it.
Does he say you’re allowed to open one?
I’m confused. I thought the asifa was cancelled?
an ‘east cost big city’
Which one?
Anyhow, it has nothing to do with them thinking that (the collective) you look drab or silly. It has to do with their profit. (Maybe they’re hoping that you think you look drab and silly).
Are they allowed to compete with local businesses? That’s a Choshen Mishpat shailah (hasagas g’vul) and a posek would need to hear all details to make that determination. You certainly have the right to decide to give your business to the local merchants.
When Rav Elazar Shach gave a speech in 1990, lambasting secular israelis, calling them breeders of pigs and rabbits, (which later became known as the famous “rabbits and pigs speech”) the Lubavitcher Rebbe came out, calling for rav shach to apologize and saying that its not the way to be mekarev yidden.
You left out the part about the secular man who later told Rav Shach that he took it to heart and did teshuvah.
Isn’t this issue then also relevant in cases of post-Chuppah vision loss?
Yes.
Since they have support from Rav Chaim Kanievsky, Rav Shteinman among others
Their website has a video endorsement from R’ Elya Ber Wachtfogel, saying that where possible, one must try to have women deal with these cases.
I thought we were talking about a digital clock. Now I’m really confused.
Would you give a dollar to tzadakah for every pot, pan etc. that has ever had to be toiveled in mikvah because of some crooked mashgiach, whether chasddish, litivish or Eastern Shore leading to treifus being sold to a frum yid? Please name your favorite tzadakah.
I’m not sure how that is a defense…
Also, what does tevilas keilim have to do with anything?
Is it troublesome to you if someone knows something which you don’t?
Why is that so troubling since you admitted to not knowing?
It is true.
We as a community need to stop being so gullible and stop believing random stories posted on the internet swiped from chat groups.
Why do you think that? I haven’t eaten raisin bran in years.
My sources say that your sources are probably anti EN so they’re not giving accurate info, with an agenda. Like that quoted in the OP.
I heard a very different version of the story. Many details, some extremely significant, did not occur as posted by the OP or by 2scents.
Also, newsflash, 10 minutes is NOT a long time.
It is for someone having a heart attack.
get over your cuddled NYC ways
Really? So people in NYC should die in order not to be coddled?
Who says raisins (for those not concerned about the bugs) need a hechsher?
No, that’s not what he’s arguing.
Okay, let’s see you come clean. What’s your real name, and what’s your connection to Ralbag?
My insight is not to believe a word, especially since at the end, the person admits to holding a gripe against EN.
One of my daughters just brought her daughter-in-law a beautiful diamond ring for $700 and the girl is glowing from happiness. Maybe it’s different here in Israel.
In the U.S., unfortunately, that would be a rare story. Or the daughter in law would be faking it.
I’m jealous.
Milk needs (or at least benefits from) a hashgacha because of the additives.
I dont know him, but have no reason to believe that he doesnt enforce his standards.
I do have good reason to believe that, and that being the case, have not violated anything. I hope I have warned some people off from rationalizing that the Triangle K is not so bad and eating from it in a moment of weakness and inconvenience.
First, mazel tov.
Please be aware that your financial situation and locale are likely very different than the vast majority of the CR readership.
Curbing wedding expenses in the in town yeshiva community often does eliminate jobs – a one man band means no drummer, bass, guitar, or horn players.
A cheaper photographer means fewer assistants.
Plastic gemach flowers means no florist.
Simpler cuisine means less profit for the caterer, and fewer workers.
You also didn’t answer my point that good health tips cuts income from undertaker’s.
Mainly, though, you missed the point I’m making, which is that you don’t advise people to spend money they likely don’t have because someone else will lose out. Unfortunately, because of societal pressure, people spend more money than they can afford on simchas.
B”H, a lot of progress has been made on the cost of the actual affair, with “takana packages” and the like a way for people to save. Jewelry, however, has not had the same success. Although in some communities, attempts have been made to keep costs down, overall it hasn’t worked.
Halevai that Joseph’s suggestion would become reality.
My town’s Rosh Kollel explained that we believe the lenient rabbis when they tell us about their subpar standards (that we don’t accept).
That’s also true, but not the only problem here, unfortunately.
Anyone who would forge a letter in the name of Gedolei Torah are Reshiam and there is no reason to belive them for anything
Do you know who did it?
Your suggestion to not buy diamond engagement rings could hurt the economic livelihood of many frum yidden in the diamond trade…from importers to cutters,setters and retailers.
Yes, and suggesting that people curb their chasunah expenses hurts the livelihood of caterers, florists, musicians, and photographers, and suggesting people eat healthy and exercise hurts doctors and undertakers.
What is a zakor?
Most people I know don’t use it. I’m talking about people who comfortably and completely rely on hechsherim such as OU, OK, KVH, and many local vaadim.
Don’t be naive. We’re not talking about being extra machmir. We’re talking about someone who’s interested only in collecting his fees.
I said nothing about the circle k.
Triangle K/Ralbag is completely unreliable. Most rabbanim are aware of this and that’s the main reason it’s so widely rejected.
First and most important, Rav Ralbag, shlita, is a chashuvah rav and a big talmid chacham
That is not an uncontested assertion.
Issues of personal integrity aside, it is definitely l’toeles to warn the tzibur away from a hashgacha with subpar standards. There are certain accepted norms which some hashgachos don’t follow.
Who says there’s a line?
Other communities will use modern Hebrew names, and names like Sora and Dovid would sound strange.
I doubt that’s the case anywhere.
Why is it hard to check the news? You see the headline you want, you click it, and voila🎻, you’re checking the news.
Not King, king.
How can she not acquiesce? We’re dealing with a king who is commanded to treat his queen with more respect than he treats himself.
Considering that, how does your point still stand?
Makes perfect sense. When he insists on honoring her by being her chauffeur, she has to listen.
Joseph, for how long have you been a Zoroastrian (you obviously believe in a god of good and a god of evil)
That’s a terrible mischaracterization of the Satmar Rebbe’s shittah (all Joseph did was quote him).
HKB”H often has His malochim do His bidding. If the malach he commands to do something is the Satan, it is ma’aseh Satan. The Satmar Rebbe’s point is that the success of the IDF creates the false impression that Hashem is somehow pleased with the redefinition of Am Yisroel as a nation based on land and language, not the Torah. This doesn’t ch”v mean that it wasn’t allowed or even commanded by HKB”H.
To take the Rebbe’s shittah and describe it as sh’tei r’shuyos ch”v is an egregious error.
DaMoshe, shame on you for casting such aspersions on the motivations of a Gadol bi’Yisroel. You’re better than that.I second both parts of that.
the real problem
“The” real problem? Is there only one real problem?
No need to shlep it around with you, it is right there waiting for you though. 24×7.
Need? What does need have to do with it?
Let me play devils advocate (literally). This “small screen” is easier to use unobtrusively than a larger laptop and you know, “just this once” let me see what else this thing can do.
It’s also easier to use something which is already in your pocket than to take the subway to someplace you shouldn’t be going.
Thank you. I’m not sure why your proof threshold is so high – what it were shown to have a 90% likelihood?
DaasYochid – if you could show direct proof that more social welfare would prevent abortions maybe you would have an argument but as I mentioned that is probably impossible or practically impossible to prove.
I didn’t address that part of your argument.
We should be approaching it from the point of “Abortion is murder and therefore should not be allowed because murder is wrong and evil”
The main problem is that people think it’s ok to murder an innocent human being in an extremely barbaric way. Just because they don’t have enough money does not make that ok. If somebody is on rough times does that justify going around killing people? So then how would it justify killing a child?
Okay, abortion is evil. I didn’t disagree with you about that either. If increased social spending would prevent that evil (I stress if because I know you don’t think it’s true), wouldn’t you be in favor?
I would be in favor of more social spending if it would prevent parents from murdering their children. Wouldn’t you?
what I find most perplexing is this view: “It was simply a natural occurrence”
If you read it in context, he’s saying that the inclination to consider the formation of the State as a positive would have been that much stronger had it been an obvious nes.
Then they would have to explain why.
I don’t think they need to explain every decision they make.
btw, being dan l’kaf zchus doesn’t mean being stupid and thinking that an aveira is not an aveira. This is clearly assur according to Hilchos Loshon Hora.
You are entitled to your opinion that it’s assur. I happen to think you’re probably right. You’re not entitled to say motzi shem ra on an organization by saying they don’t care about lashon hora, when you know quite well that in the past, they have deleted (when pointed out) lashon hora and probably delete a whole lot more which never got approved to begin with.
Again, I’m not telling you to change your opinion about whether this particular case was (is) assur, rather to not accuse YWN of deliberately violating hilchos lashon hora.
Because that would perhaps make him technically ineligible to be president.
Perhaps you should be dan l’kaf z’chus that whoever made the decision that it stays does care about hilchos lashon hora but disagrees with you about this being assur.
I think most conservatives will tell you that they’re not against helping those in need per se, they just feel that people take advantage of the existing safety nets as a lifestyle choice.
BTW, is there s’micha in Hilchos Lashon Hora?
