How much actual power does the NYC mayor have in the day-to-day operations of the city?
I’m not sure if hatzola has a similar policy, but in our case, calling back would have done nothing to change the response.
The police have the policy because they’re responsible for responding to all potential emergencies: illness, accidents, home invasions, domestic violence, etc. If they fail to respond to a 911 call, they could be subject to civil and criminal penalties.
I would think that Hatzalah’s scope is more limited, and they would cancel their response if informed that the call was a mistake.
a triangle has 3 corners
I wouldn’t trust someone who doesn’t know that. Even my cat knows that.
It’s safer to eat coffee beans. You won’t get bloated from excess hydration.
This is a non-productive topic.
People should be recognized for their accomplishments, not for their degree of being victimized.
“Aveiros are forbidden regardless of the consequence.”
A cheeseburger would be permitted if you were starving and had no access to kosher food.
An important change his administration can make is to restore traditional values, including respect for laws and law enforcement, and disrespect for to’evah.
Dogs are emotionally shallow. Intelligent people have cats.
Also, the Talmud clearly dislikes dogs:
Yoma 53b
Yoma 83a
Yevamos 59b
Kesuvos 41b
Bava Kamma 15b
Bava Kamma 79bAnd favors cats:
Shabbos 128b
Pesachim 112b“Actually, the smell of fresh garlic does not repel people.”
It’s supposed to be effective against vampires.
And if you run out of food, you can eat the garlic.
>Should America (and/or Canada, Australia, etc.) offer Israeli citizens a safe haven, in case the situation becomes dangerous?
If you believe that Jews should live in Israel, then doesn’t encouraging to leave indicate a lack of bitachon?
>What was gained?
In the future, they’ll waste time and money checking their electronic devices for booby traps.
“Someone who was born religious and then went down and sinned and then repents is the real definition of a BT.”
What does “born religious” mean?
“As a taxpayer I oppose my tax dollars being spent in private institutions.”
The complication is that we’re compelled to pay taxes that are used for activities that go far beyond basic education.
School vouchers enable us to reclaim some of our tax dollars and spend the money in a way that aligns with our values.
“If you were a MLB player hitting .333 they’d pay you millions.”
That’s true, but do MLB teams let their players observe Shabbos?
@Ex-CTLawyer
You’re right about one of those three issues.
Public hanging of violent criminals should be reinstated as a common practice. Stoning, burning and decapitation would be okay too.
“We know today that smoking is very harmful to your health.”
Since we’re supposed to afflict ourselves on fast days, doesn’t that knowledge support smoking, even for non-smokers?
“Chat/AI apps are sometimes helpful but frequently provide totally meshugah rants.”
That’s true, but the same applies to human beings.
“attractiveness level”
That’s subjective.
ChatGPT is surprising good for this type of project.
Me:
Write a short argument that provides a good reason for having a cat.ChatGPT:
Having a cat offers numerous benefits, both practical and emotional. Cats are natural hunters, helping to keep homes free from pests like mice and insects. Their independent yet affectionate nature makes them low-maintenance companions, providing comfort and reducing stress without requiring constant attention. Additionally, the presence of a cat can create a calming atmosphere, as their purring has been shown to lower blood pressure and promote relaxation. Thus, a cat not only enhances the household with its charming presence but also contributes to a healthier and more peaceful living environment.In an interview published on July 8, Kamala gave her viewpoint on the people protesting Israel’s response to the Oct 7 attack:
“They are showing exactly what the human emotion should be, as a response to Gaza. There are things some of the protesters are saying that I absolutely reject, so I don’t mean to wholesale endorse their points. But we have to navigate it. I understand the emotion behind it.”
In other words, she thinks that “there are fine people on both sides.”
“That said a President who commits a violent crime such as murder should be subject to criminal prosecution and appropriate punishment.”
Then Biden should be in jail for at least negligent manslaughter.
“Dovid, that suggests that SIL can (should?) respect FIL.”
But how does that relate to the topic, “Serving Your Husband Before Your Father”?
Moshe went to greet his father in law>
Is that relevant to this topic? Did he neglect his wife to do that?
“I will vote against a particular candidate for President this year, but don’t consider myself a supporter of the other.”
It’s people with your attitude who are destroying this country.
He could arrive in the next five minutes.
The much less expensive machine-made matzos produced by Manischewitz and other companies don’t have this problem.
Are machine-made matzos less fragile? Or does the higher volume of sales enable them to spend more money on packaging?
“If we make brochos on earthquakes and thunder and rainbows why dont we have a brocho for an eclipse?”
According to Sukkah 29a, a solar eclipse is a bad omen.
“You sound like an 8 year old calling the President a vegetable.”
“I cast my ballot for him as a vote against Mr. Trump.”
Those remarks prove that you have nothing of value to contribute to this topic.
“The Democrat Party does not have an organized effort to get non-citizens to vote.”
Do you really believe that?
That’s like saying that the vegetable sitting in the Oval Office is a competent President who is doing a good job.
The answer is obvious. The Democratic party needs their votes to stay in power.
They’ll try hard to let them vote legally, but even if that fails, they’ll use them somehow to stuff the ballot boxes.
She’s probably not fit to be a university president, but her resignation doesn’t matter. She’s a figurehead appointed by the put-black-people-in-important-positions racists. She’ll be replaced by someone who has the same attitudes and policies, but is better at being two-faced.
Chabad has been doing public menorah lighting for a long time, as part of their outreach.
It’s only in the mainstream media now because the left is using antisemitism to promote their own agenda.
If you take that approach, then the liberal mob will assert that the transit system is racist and should pay reparations.
How can anyone ever pass judgement on anything without a fully understanding what the issues are?
If everyone followed that rule, the mainstream news organizations would be out of business, and 99% of internet content would disappear.
I was on the moon for the entire month of July 1969, and can personally affirm that no one else was there. I don’t know about the later alleged landings.
Children would be good auto mechanics. They could fit under the car more easily than adults, for doing oil changes, etc. And you wouldn’t have to pay them as much, which would reduce car-related expenses.
how did we morph from if a jew can go to a non jewish funeral to a debate over yakov and esav?
Is that a trick question?
How about baking soda?
Can the Chief Rabbi attend the service at Westminster Abby?
Jonathan Sacks, the former Chief Rabbi, attended the royal wedding there in 2011.
-isn’t that before Torah was written?
If those dates are accurate, it could precede Hashem’s giving of the Torah to Moses. But I don’t know if the Vedas actually existed then. Even if there’s “proof” they did, that could be part of the stuff Hashem does to test our faith, like dinosaur fossils.
Dovid: Yoga is pure Avoda Zora.
ujm: One of us is an ignoramus, and it’s not me.
I practice yoga for the physical benefits (mainly joint mobility). I’m not interested in the philosophical side of it, but I’ve been exposed to a little of it in learning yoga, The oldest documents are apparently the Vedas, which were supposedly written 1500–1200 BCE.
If they are so sure that Trump is disliked by the masses and doesn’t deserve to be president, why must they find every way to besmirch him and terrorize him into staying away?
Saying that he’s disliked by the masses is propaganda. It’s a classic example of The Big Lie. They keep repeating it with the hope that people will eventually believe it.
What are the pros and cons between Waze and Google Maps?
One advantage of Waze is that it’s more specific about telling you which lane to use, for example when you have to make a left turn, and then a right turn after a short distance.
