WTP, how about we choose the day the third Beis Hamikdash is built?
That is way too harsh. It’s not as if they have the money and are intentionally withholding it.
I heard a figure that to fully educate a child for the next generation it’s expected to cost $2,000,000 PER child!!!!
How do get to those numbers? (Sorry, but “I heard” isn’t a great source for something which doesn’t seem to make sense.)
I don’t think nobody who comments in the CR providing a source is considered confirmation.
That’s precisely what he’s objecting to.
Let’s say for argument’s sake that they’re not halachically binding. Is it therefore a good idea to engage in hisgarus b’umos? (Based on the Arabs’ reaction, it clearly was hisgarus b’umos.)
There are groups using the NK name illegitimately. The real NK in Yerushalayim have nothing to do with them. The Satmar Rebbe and Brisker Rov were very close to NK founder Rav Amram Blau.
Also, Pappenheim doesn’t represent the Eida, despite his media campaign claiming so.
All that doesn’t address the point that the Satmar Rov did not agree with supporting the Palestinians.
My point was that to call it a “silly” holiday is wrong, as there are plenty of Rabbonim who take it very seriously.
There are also plenty of rabbonim who think it’s silly (or worse), so why is it wrong?
The latter is surely assur l’chol hadeios.
That is surely incorrect.
You can’t pay if you don’t have money.
Also, your comment is gender neutral.
There’s a chiyuv for boys to learn Torah.
That’s awful.
Hopefully, they can raise money to pay their salaries and resume classes. (Am I right to assume that’s the issue?)I believe R’ Moshe has a teshuvah about rebbeim striking, but the issues aren’t the same in a girls’ school.
I don’t assume that there is one.
Eda Haredit: We condemn them
Rabbi Shmuel Pappenheim, a spokesperson for the extreme ultra-Orthodox Eda Haredit faction in Jerusalem, slammed Neturei Karta on Monday, clarifying that they had nothing to do with the Satmar Hasidim and Eda Haredit members in Jerusalem.
According to Pappenheim, “The actions of Neturei Karta members contradict the method of the Satmar rabbi. It is prohibited, at a time when the Jewish people sitting in Zion are suffering, to do such things and to defy our soldiers and people in danger.”
The rabbi added that the anti-Zionist Neturei Karta faction in New York concentrated today around a yeshiva led by Rabbi Moshe Ber Beck, a former Vizhnitz Hasid who split from the Hasidic dynasty about 40 years ago.
One of the prominent spokespersons of this group includes Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weis, who met in the past with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and other Muslim leaders.
According to Pappenheim, additional Neturei Karta groups live in Canada and London. “They have been ejected from Israel, so they go abroad and make a lot of noise,” he said.
Rabbi Pappenheim further argued that the late founder of the Satmar Hasidic dynasty, Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum, had slammed Neturei Karta at the time, claiming that the phrase “Let there be no hope for informers” was directed at them.
“We have nothing to do with them and we condemn them,” he added.

I’m not a rabbi
So how do you know that a grandfather clock is not a person?
I’m pretty sure tobs means that it shouldn’t sound like there are musical instruments being played, only vocals.
I guess it’s a bad thing to simply accept the differences between frum Jews doing the will of HKBH.
As opposed to rejecting it, or as opposed to discussing it?
We can accept yet still discuss.
Maybe a sheitle is more a chumra than a hat/tichel
Ashkenazim hold she can wear either.
It’s only ???? according to the ??”? if it’s ????? ?????.
Why does everything have to be X vs. Y. Can’t we just appreciate the fact that we are all doing the bidding of HKBH, however we got there.
Who says it has to be? It’s just an interesting discussion, in which nobody implied anything to the contrary of what you wrote, that both are doing the bidding of HKB”H.
????? ??? ????? ???? ?? ??????
what’s wrong with nationalism?
Read what R’ Reuven Grozovsky zt”l has to say about it.

Wolf, you tend to take things way too literally.
Yes, I meant that hitting “reply” to a specific post would quote that post. It would be? much less tedious than copy/pasting.
I agree with Mammele.
I don’t remember what I meant.
But I like Norman’s Creamy Blends.
The posts should show up in order posted, just there should be a way to see which post it was responding to – maybe a link, or quoting that post.
I actually like the idea of being able to reply to a specific post, just not the way it’s been implemented.
It’s just indented differently, no?
Way too indented…
A reply to an earlier post gets put after that post, so it can get lost.
Oh.
It was a sefer about putting on makeup on Shabbos.
How can you tell if a reply was to a specific post?
Try a silver store.
Daven three times a day with kavanah.
No, he meant that it’s fine to discuss on a date how assur TV and movies are.
I’ve been wondering why Meno’s parentheses are backwards.
I’ve been wondering why Meno has parentheses around her name.
Linguine squash.
Sorry about that.
It’s only weird if you don’t account for the law of supply and demand.
DY, I am. However, in general Jews should make aliya.
Then you shouldn’t write “period”, because people with reading comprehension issues (that’s everyone but you) will take it as an absolute.
Jews should make aliya. Period.
Oh, I thought you were maskim that there are exceptions.
Does anyone wear a black hat 24/7?
I think Joseph said he does.
DY, he wrote that I denied that there are heterim for individual situations.
Where?
Winnie, you need a course in reading comprehension. I wrote that there are individuals who are exceptions. However, the default position is that a Jew should live in EY.
Winnie wrote that there are maalos to E.Y.
Disagreeing with you, and thinking that for many people, perhaps most, it’s better not to shows no lack of reading comprehension skills.
LC, follow the conversation. I said I wouldn’t move to Israel because of the army situation. Is the possibility of a highly unlikely scenario here going to change that?
It’s still much more likely for a yeshiva student in E.Y. to end up in the army, or at least in a difficult situation because of the army (see this past week’s Lifelines in Mishpacha Magazine), but not every boy ends up in yeshiva full time. In the U.S., that won’t end up causing a problem with the draft; in E.Y. it will.
I don’t see a problem.
Avi, if you think learning isn’t contributing to society, you’re davka the apikores the Gemara is talking about.
I would be even more concerned about a child who isn’t learning. Here, the chances of being forced into the army are infinitesimal. In Israel, there’s a very strong likelihood.
