The mezuza isn’t the reason. So covering it helps in no way.
Poster: What you are describing about yourself is almost the opposite of MorahRach’s situation. Morah is in dire financial circumstances and needs the financial assistance. And yet her in-laws are not only not helping, but they are helping the siblings who don’t need it. You, on the other hand, are in a good financial situation yourself and don’t need the financial assistance. So your in-laws are helping the siblings who need it more than you.
Quite different than Morah’s matzav.
Buy your husband a necktie. But, really, celebrating a wedding anniversary is a goyishe zach, not a yiddishe zach.
Do you have any evidence Cohen retracted? I don’t believe he ever has.
I think it would be more with the Hebrew/Yiddish referral on the invitation “Uriso”, which to me sounds much more like the woman being the shlep along (pardon me if I am wrong, I do not know where or why this began, or if has any Halachic source. For that matter I think Mar & Maras sounds better than “uriso”, if indeed some feel it’s a lack of tznius to mention the woman’s name, though I don’t understand it.
Uriso (after her husband’s name) is the proper Jewish way to refer to a wife.
Which is why, for example, Chasuna invitations utilize that language.
Generally speaking only companies with a presence in that State ae required to charge their online (web) customers sales tax. If they have no presence in NY State, they do not have to collect sales tax from their customers.
New York decided that any retailer that pays commission to any New York person or company to refer customers to their website is considered to have a NY presence and thus required to collect NY sales tax. Amazon and others are fighting NY State in court to stop this.
It’s like getting a tattoo.
When someone says they’ve tried it both ways and can only connect with the opposite gender, all sorts of red flags should be raised. That is exactly why they should not be seeing the opposite gender.
Many stores have started their Black Friday sales tonight (Wend. night/Thurs. morning) at midnight on their websites.
popa: “Wear a nice shabbos outfit. Most girls don’t wear fancy like wedding.”
Off topic, but why do girls dress nicer for a wedding than they do for Shabbos Kodesh?
The schools must raise tuition costs if you want more from them.
The kids get more than enough time off as it is. We need more school days.
$10-12.
This is a State issue, not so much a Federal issue. You need to fight on the State level.
Best Buy and Staples have some good deals on electronics.
If all the girls would move to New York, they would have whom to marry.
WIY: I don’t see him listing too many specifics about BF. Just a discussion thread.
How can anyone have an expectation that their in-laws should provide them with financial assistance?
Too many “problems” have occurred.
The Torah protects the city.
During the Persian Gulf War in 1991, bombs from Iraq were falling in cities literally all around Bnei Brak. Yet not one missile landed in Bnei Brak!
Don’t be such a wiseguy. Obviously this is referring to one-on-one sessions not involving a married couple.
Style is what Paris decrees. It goes in cycles. After a few changes in styles, the old styles come back and are in style again.
Just wear what you think looks good and disregard styles.
What’s an “active date”?
Anyways, a guy should never advise a girl how to dress. He shouldn’t even discuss with her how she dresses.
2scents: How are you differentiating (based on the earlier comments on this thread) between criticizing Hatzalah and bashing Hatzalah?
Bad idea. Certainly not alone (which is how therapy typically is done.)
There is nothing wrong with discussing benefits with others. And nothing wrong with helping others obtain benefits.
Furthermore, I find it deeply troubling that some people simply assume (falsely, in most cases) that others do not report all their income when applying for benefits. For one thing, families with income are entitled to government benefits. To assume and claim that someone failed to list their income when applying, is simply motzi shem ra.
And, finally, I do hope those who oppose these benefits are not hypocritical, and when filing their IRS and State income tax returns decline to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit or the Child Tax Credits and other tax credits offered by the government. Many of these tax credits people receive even if they don’t owe taxes or it exceeds the amount of taxes they pay (usually referred to as “refundable tax credits”.) They get a check from the government for it.
Well, who here forgoes claiming tax credits they are entitled to?
Anyone?
Poll after poll, over the last 50 years and as recently as in the past few weeks, have confirmed Americans are strongly supportive of Israel and opposed to the Palestinians actions.
The WSJ is indeed high quality. But it is nowhere near as comprehensive as the NYT. The WSJ is actually more comprehensive for business coverage, but nowhere close for international, national, political and local news.
(As an aside, while the WSJ is conservative on its editorial pages, it is not conservative [or pro-Israel] by any means on its news pages. And indeed the NYT’s very strong left-wing biases completely color virtually every news story. Nevertheless, I can see right through that and still get the news after discounting their prejudices.)
There have been over a dozen death, r’l, attributed to these drinks.
Frum Jews are more likely to be in the 47%, than the 1%.
That’s a mathematical fact that is true regarding any random American. The 47% is 47 times larger than the 1%. (Duh.)
That being said, we should consider Jews as a whole for the purpose of this issue, rather than breaking them down in frum vs. frei.
I read it both online and on paper. The reason being is that there is no competition with as comprehensive coverage. It is as simple as that and it is the truth. The other papers are tabloids full of trashy pictures with little news. Only the Times has the level of international, national, political, business, and local coverage that it has.
So tell me, whose sins are worse?
It is worse to sin in public than to sin in private.
akuperma: A treaty can only be ratified in the Senate if it is between the U.S. and a foreign nation. Since the State in question will still be a part of the U.S. at the time it may seek secession, a treaty is not a possible avenue and is irrelevant to the issue.
A constitutional amendment is indeed the only avenue to legally secede. But passing a constitutional amendment, as you know, is very difficult as it require the acquiescence of 3/4 of all the States in addition to requiring 2/3 of both houses of Congress (or 2/3 of State conventions.)
The bottom line is that if someone is foolish enough to get a conversion through Angel, he shouldn’t expect that conversion to be widely recognized.
aCookieJar: Reminding folks that there will be hell to pay for going OTD is certainly worthwhile. First of all, the person him/herself may have gone OTD even though they still believe in G-d. In which case he/she can still recognize there is reward and punishment when one comes upstairs after 120. Second of all, even if the person went south and doesn’t believe in G-d, G-d forbid, reminding that he/she will be punished is still a deterrent for others who may have otherwise been enticed to go OTD but who hear the message that there will be hell to pay if they do.
Marine Park is Modern Chareidi, with a very strong leaning on the modern side. Kensington is very frum, insular and very approachable and outgoing.
Those aren’t positions of Rav Eisenstein shlit”a; those are positions of Maran Hagaon HaRav S. Y. Eliashev zt”l.
Also, the Ethiopians are gentiles (unless they convert.)
Angel is as Orthodox as Avi Weiss.
A prospective convert who does not accept all 613, his purported conversion is invalid and was never effective.
A Dayan who is an apikorus, is an invalid Dayan. And as Rav Eliashev said belief in evolution is apikorsus, that makes it pasul.
L’Chaim!
I think all 50 States ought to secede!
After all 50 States have successfully seceded — and the U.S.A. no longer exists, — the 50 independent states will then form a new union and call it the United States of America.
The fighting doesn’t hurt the Palestinians, in the least, at the UN.
Why does the full iPad set cost more than the full printed set????
Torah Law, including the Noachide provisions, are perfect, just and refined. It is secular law, including U.S., that is crude and unjust. Your secular outlook clouds your mind from recognizing this fact.
Angel is buddies with Avi Weiss.
Bustercrown: True, but I’d put the blame on that more widely than just the moderns.
B has no obligation or responsibilities to C.
N must honor his obligations to C. (N’s monetary rights from B does not affect his obligation to C.)
B is obligated to compensate N for his loss.
How many people didn’t commit suicide because someone pleaded – yes simply pleaded – with them not to.
Many I’d bet.
Pleading works.
However much suicide is an “informed decision” that suicidal people “choose”, going OTD too is a so-called informed decision that is chosen.
Parents who take away inappropriate items (or items utilized inappropriately) from their children, are practicing good parenting. Same with teachers.
You’re a funny camper, Health. You incorrectly insinuate I got my information from the “liberal media” and then you immediately go on to attempt to disprove my point by quoting a Conservative so-called “rabbi” writing on the most liberal website around.
May I humbly suggest that you change your reading habits to the American Thinker rather than the Puffington Post?
If it is one of the first two or three dates, the hotel lobby at any one of many hotels would be perfect.
Despite whatever propaganda you may have been subject to, the Jews living in Iran are not mistreated anymore than the Jews living in Mexico or wherever.
