Just make 20-30 calls to the larger agencies you will be convinced

I have contacted the large agencies numerous times. What am I supposed to be convinced of?

BTW, the Rambam in the following halachah, A”Z 2:3, talks about being exposed to kefirah.

Rambam in A”Z 2:2 writes about reading a”z. I think it is assumed that

kefirah is no different, and hearing is no different. I don’t know if Sh”A in Hilchos A”Z explicitly refers to it, but he does refer to the issur (“Al Tifnu”) in Hilchos Shabbos (307:16) in regards to reading.

The issur applies when there is a chashash that someone will ch”v be swayed, and unfortunately we have seen many frum people fall into bad hashkafos or outright kefirah from exposure to the prevalent secular worldview.

BTW, leitzanusa d’avodah zarah is muttar, so I think what you posted is okay, since you painted it in a negative light.

Obviously, if the rabbi is haredi, he will say that it is assur to attend a class where the professor spews heresy out of his mouth.

Do non haredi rabbis have a different Shulchan Aruch?

If there were no other option other than the Shabbos class, the fact that you need it for your degree wouldn’t make it muttar. Perhaps that’s true for the issur of hearing apikorsus as well?

Go ask a competent posek.

I am not allowed to attend this class? It is a mandatory class for me to become a paralegal.

I said I don’t think so. Go ask a competent posek.

Thanks to all for the good wishes, and good job, Mammele, on figuring it out.

As I recall, my most recent subtitle was not nearly as flattering as what you (sort of) remember (which I never had).

Correction – his wife doesn’t post as far as he knows.

I wonder if that has ever happened to any of the CR posters?

You are My Sunshine is similar to This Land. The Jeapordy tune sounds more like I’m a Little Teapot than Twinkle Twinkle.

Happy birthday!

Thank you. I owe you a belated one as well. May there be many simchas in Klal Yisroel.

Also, on a side note, aren’t Ohr Someach and Aish HaTorah the same organization?

No. Aish haTorah was originally a split-off of Ohr Sameach.

I think, Daas Yochid, johnny meant that she does not want someone who does not want her for who she is as a person and that is okay

Education and knowledge are part of what makes someone who they are.

if someone doesn’t want me because i’m not smart enough, i don’t want them either!

What if someone didn’t want you because you were too smart?

You should get your high school diploma for several reasons, not the least of which is that you really don’t know if you will end up “going to seminary or college or any majorly official job”.

The ???? on such a ???? is ?????? ??????.

LU, why do you assume LF was referring to you? Perhaps you owe him an apology and a brochah?

Are all dyslexics related?

this is a useful technique for online food purchases

That’s fine if you’ll be receiving the item and can double-check, but I don’t have full confidence in it for past purchases where there’s no visible hechsher on the product you have.

Also, be aware that poskim disagree about whether tevilah is required and/or possible on the machines.

That wasn’t one of the choices. Besides, you didn’t know them in their prime.

too tired now, will try to look tom, b”n, thanks, I had missed that link. I thought I had remembered (from when I read it nearly 30 years ago) that he was very anti, so I’m surprised, but then again it was a while ago.

He is very anti, but is also a pragmatist.

what does that mean?

It means that’s the Ribono Shel Olam’s cheshbon, not ours.

Look at the link I posted. It’s from R’ Reuven Grozovsky, zt”l, and is the mainstream yeshivish hashkofah on this.

It exists. We need to deal with it.

Regarding whether this is the beginning of the geulah or part of our bitter galus, ???? ???? ?????? ??? ??.

I agree and am deeply embarrassed

Nah, don’t be. It’s funny, that’s all.
