Why is that difficult?
That’s besides the fact that most shuls have email, hence an internet connection of some sort.
You didn’t say the shuls don’t have Internet, you said the people don’t.
It’s not hard for a shul to get an internet connection for a few hours.
Then saying that most people who would follow the Agudah don’t have internet was pointless.
Most businessmen who would follow the Agudah do have internet.
Dovrosenbaum, that is not the issue. The issue is if a frum teacher will care about non Jewish kids as much as, or more than, their non Jewish counterparts.
From conversations I’ve had with frum teachers who work in public schools, it seems they care very much, although I don’t have basis for comparison.
They’re pretty obvious.
It was answered at least twice. It’s your prerogative to not accept the answer.
No such tab is forthcoming.
It’s a business. They make money on advertising.
I’m sure if you offered YWN to compensate them for their lost revenue, they would consider obliging.
1. I have been in MO shuls where women were not dressed k’halachah.
2. It was answered a couple of times in that thread.
From the US government website:
Please note that the Copyright Office is unable to provide specific legal advice to individual members of the public about questions of fair use. See 37 C.F.R. 201.2(a)(3).
Feivel, it’s just another way of getting out of listening to authority. First they’ll point out that gedolim are not infallible, therefore we can just assume they’re wrong whenever we want, then they’ll add that anyway, their opinions are usually based on misinformation.
The result is “Ish kol hayoshor b’einov ya’aseh”.
however the Rabbis who perform the weddings can tell the people that they will not perform the wedding without the pre-nuptuals
They could also refuse membership to those who don’t keep halachah.
And saying chareidim don’t seem to care and that causes chillul Hashem seems backwards to me.
In fact, a huge chillul Hashem was caused not too long ago when a chareidi “beis din” was caught going TOO far to enforce giving gittin.
ZD, if they so desired, they could do so just as much as they enforce prenuptial agreements.
Anyhow, the point NCB made wasn’t about forcing, it was about not keeping silent.

Shaychus?
It was sarcastic, but it was very responsive.
I am saying that if pre-nups cause more damage than good, they should be rejected even if there is no solution.
More to the point of this thread, at the very least, the opinion of someone who feels that pre-nups do more harm than benefit should be respected
And what are you doing to prevent a Get being used as an evil tool in a way that Chazal (nearly certainly) did not foresee?
I advocate doing away with the anachronistic kiddushin ritual.
Any reason why you left out the opinion of Rabbi Willig who has suggested using these prenups for years?
He’s entitled to his opinion.
However, it seems that someone who doesn’t agree with any prenuptial agreement besides the kesuvah is not entitled to that opinion according to the RCA.
Geodie613, yes, if inadvertently.
What logic are you referring to?
I think that’s irresponsible; what if one week the doctors are all away? Anyhow, the point wasn’t your shul, the point was shul with a jammer. It doesn’t have to be unsafe as long as there’s an accessible landline, as the OP said.
Yes, the siddur app was completely a side point, but as an aside on the side point, some siddur apps will insert as necessary according to the day and season, e.g. Ya’aleh V’yavo, V’sein B’rachah, and that might not work if there’s a jammer.
ZD, all you need is a landline in an accessible place. If there are no doctors on call (who may have a heter to carry a phone) it would not be muttar to carry a phone “just in case”.
Because the poster was talking about, using the siddur app on the phone.
One poster made such a comment, but that’s not the pint. A jammer may or may not prevent a siddur app from working, but will definitely prevent phone calls from being made.
And as far as the phone being ossur in case of emergency, that is dependent on whether Shabbos is hutrah or hudcha.
Huh? It depends whether there’s situation of pikuach nefesh. Either way, the jammers aren’t there because of Shabbos.
According to you, a person should not turn off his phone when going to shul to daven and should actually constantly look and check their phone, incase there may be an emergency.
No, according to him, the phone should be usable in an emergency.
Cauliflowers?
I guess one of them saw this thread…
Look around most Israeli cities and tell me – in your own layman’s opinion, whether you can truly claim the open peritzus, toevah, and entire secular nature (exemplified by much of the Army culture, for instance) is what rotzon hashem is r”l.
Definitely not the ratzon Hashem, so not what Rav Kook zt”l wanted or envisioned. Which is why, in hindsight, he clearly was wrong.
Well, my explanation is almost as plausible as yours…
Similar to eBay, but for Chinese sellers, and no auctions.
I also complained to a couple of sellers. One responded with a picture of a getchka wearing the necklace. I assume they mean to defend themselves by saying that people are buying it for avodah zarah purposes, not as a Nazi symbol. The Nazi symbol actually is a mirror image of the buddhism symbol, not the exact same symbol.
One well know shadchan has a 35% divorce rate.
Wow, how many women did he marry?
I’m not saying it, the Mishnah Berurah is.
???? ????? says, ??? ?????? ??????? ???? ?????? ???? ????? ???”? ???? ???? ??? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???.
Despite the fact that people did it, there’s no justification, so it’s wrong.
Because minhag doesn’t trump halachah.
Whatever its history, it definitely is now a hate symbol. I told the agent this.
I went to AliExpress, and a search showed many such items.
I chatted and reported it. The agent said he would report it to his superiors and they will send me an email.
You can do the same.
He very possibly would not have, but the point is that someone of authority did come to that conclusion, and once that conclusion was acted upon, we don’t change.
If no justification were found, we might assume that the change was made without halachically valid grounds, in which case we would revert to duchaning (or whichever din we’re taking about).
So minhag does not “trump” halachah, but it is a machria where there is a machlokes, even if without the minhag we would have paskened differently.
I’m not putting words in your mouth, and not attacking you. I’m simply telling you the logical conclusion to your argument to show you that you’re wrong.
What you just said now doesn’t make sense or is incomplete.
Whether the Rema would have come to his sevara without the minhag being in place is immaterial. The question you still haven’t answered (because the answer shows you’re wrong) is WHY those holy Jews stopped duchaning – specifically, was it a legitimate halachic reason, or not?
I’m not putting words in your mouth, I’m telling you what your approach seems to me to be saying if it is to make any sense. You still haven’t explained otherwise.
You wrote, “as to how the practice came about maybe it is one of those reasons, maybe another, that isnt really my point”. Well, maybe it should be your point; not the specific reason, but whether it was halachically legitimate or not. Once you decide that, we can see if we are arguing or not
Sure we’re arguing. I’m saying the minhag started from poskim deciding that for some legitimate reason (later generations tried to figure out that reason) it was better halachically to not duchan.
You are saying that some am haaratzim decided not to duchan, the rabbonim didn’t stop them, and later generations lied and said there was a reason, but we can see right through them, because we know the reason they give doesn’t make sense..
At least that’s what it seems to me that you are saying.
It’s pretty much the same argument we had about shlissel challah.
I lost you there.
I would venture to say that as the minhag started it was keneged halacha
You are being ????? ??”? ?? ????????, and at the same time arguing on all of those you mentioned above who do justify it.
The reason the Gr”a tried to reinstitute it was because he disagreed with the reasons mentioned (or held the reason no longer applies), and since minhag does not trump halachah, held we should duchan.
Actually, you already answered my question when you said “why the need for halachic justification?”
to explain how the minhag developed.
But I have a kashya on you. How did the minhag develop based on the justification? Until the change, there was no minhag to “trump” the halachah!
Why do you think the minhag became not to?
If minhag trumps halachah, why the need for halachic justification?
So, no, not a good example.
There is no good example, because minhag does not trump halachah.
Full tuition has a large range. Vacation costs probably do as well.
Ive been to Europe a number of times and I saw there that many of the Kosher restaurants serve Alchohol
I think drinking during a meal is very different than drinking while watching a ballgame.
Jews also tend not to drink alot
Please, let’s keep it that way.
It’s one thing to have a drink with your meal, quite another to have a dedicated TV room for people to drink while they watch a ballgame.
It seems that the people who think this is okay don’t realize that frum people are not immune from alcoholism.
Lesschumras, I find it hard to believe that there weren’t fights about it at least behind the scenes.
The problem is that titandata wants his sports bar.
But not curious from a hashkafic perspective?
BTW, we are more stringent than the Taliban. They eat kosher, but we don’t eat halal.
