    More Jews are irreligious than religious.

    More gentiles speak English than French. Lets end French.

    Tell that to 750,000 frum yidden and bnei Torah across the globe to whom Yiddish is the mama loshon, their native first-language, used for everyday speech. Many of whom aren’t even fluent in any other language. (They can sometimes “get by” with a botched English.) And the many more to whom Yiddish is their second language, that their Limud HaTorah is conducted in.

    To them it isn’t 2012. It is 5772.

    Bat Tzion?? I never heard of a name other than Ben-Tzion. And I have seen it spelled as two words in English.

    If someone says Tikun Chatzos every midnight, that practice might fairly be described as kedusha vtahara. Now, that doesn’t mean that all the people who do not say Tikun Chatzos lack any kedusha vtahara. Just that those that do have an extra kedusha’dika practice.

    Nothing wrong with that. And same principle here I believe.

    Why are you rabbi shopping? You ask the same rabbi all your shailos. Not look for a rabbi whose answer you’ll like.

    bpt: You speak from your own perspective, and perhaps what you say is correct in your own home, but you are very incorrect as a rule. The boys in the frum community are wonderful and being brought up beautifully.

    If you tried Good Shabbosing everyone you passed on the way to shul in BP (and possibly Flatbush), your voice would be hoarse by time you got to shul after passing dozens and dozens of folks. And if your son (or anyone) was walking with you to shul, they wouldn’t be able to get a word in edgewise with you since you’d be too busy Good Shabbosing someone every 3 feet. Now wouldn’t that be ruder, and not to mention a lack of attention to your son?

    13th Avenue is bumper-to-bumper Jewish shopping, on both sides of the street, from 39th Street through 54th Street. 15 city blocks straight. That isn’t replicated elsewhere.

    If the seforim say we make a celebration on the 13, 60, and 70 birthdays davka, obviously the underlying basis is that we don’t do it on every birthday.

    There’s nothing wrong with mentioning someone specific. Others might have mentioned Rav Moshe Feinstein. Others the Satmar Rebbe. And others who 147 mentioned. All would be correct.

    Lately they’ve been called Orthoprax or Heterodox. But whatever you call them, they’ve been around throughout Jewish history. They tend to disappear from the Jewish scene and assimilate into the gentiles after a generation or two (or a bit longer sometimes.)

    In the sefer Afraskta D’anya he writes that the tradition of the Chasam Sofer is that one shouldn’t celebrate his birthday. The Minchas Elazar writes that the Rabbonim of the previous doros didn’t celebrate birthdays. And the Gemora in Avoda Zora lists the Roman holidays and celebrations (in an uncomplimentary way), and one of the Roman celebrations mentioned is birthday celebrations.
