Perhaps the OP can be illuminated with the basis for this love affair.

CS: And thats really important since one is more likely to spend quality time in the lodge than on the slopes. In the EuroSki guide listing the best ski resorts in Hungary (Magyarország), the ski resort Síaréna Vibe Park – Eplény is on top with 1.6 out of 5 stars. No information provided regarding the hashgacha.

“i love tosh so much…’
If you ski, consider a visit to Kiryas Tosh on your way to Laurentian. Not quite the same as anUngarishe ski trip but a close second if you want a hybrid experience.

So lets see….he lived, he was controversial with passionately devoted followers along with equally passionate doubters, he was niftar and now some expect him to return as Mosihiach. What don’t you get??
Oh wait, doesn’t that sound like a goiyeshe concept???
Perhaps we need another thread to clarify the 782 other threads…..

“I never understood how parents who keep a watchful chinuch eye on their children all year, hand them over to a 19 year old to be the mechanech for 2 months. Does the director really know if the counselor is 100% mentally stable?

Yidden have been shipping their yinglach to summer camp for at least 70-80 years and I’m not sure I recall any cases of a 19yo counselor attacking the kids in his bunk and cutting off their peyos with a chainsaw. Indeed, I suspect that in many cases, the counselors are more mentally stable than the parents (at least judging by my recollections of parental behavior on visiting day).

Simple: Until the Republican party reverts to some level of sanity and rids itself of the narcissistic, racist, misogynist and increasingly antisemitic tropes of the guy who they worship, then normal Dems and Rhinos are preferable to MAGAmania.

So wish them “long life and happiness” or”do you know what you are getting into” or “hopefully it will work out for both of you”. Whatever seems most appropriate for the couple, time and place.

Perhaps some creative entrepreneur (with good legal advice regarding local gender discrimination laws) will recognize a community need and open a venue for young women to “hang out” along with a commercial shtick (as long as its not a certain Thursday night special).

I presume your farewell tour will be the first of many annual iterations like the ageing rock bands that have been doing farewell tours for decades.

Sechel83: Among our resident Moishichists are some who might believe that the Besht himself is Moishiach

Much depends on whether korbonos will be subject to PETA oversight.

Eat only potatoes year-round and avoid the machlokes.

As usual, CTLawyer makes a critical point. A college degree for the wife is in the interests of BOTH parties, especially if the guy is planning to shteig 24×7 for even a few years. More importantly, it is essential going forward for the wife so she never feels at risk of having to stay in a dysfunctional relationship solely for economic reasons. Hopefully, that will never be an issue but certainly it will be a net positive when the time comes to pay multiple yeshiva tuitions, summer camp expenses, etc.

Daiya has an incredible vegan New York Cheesecake (with OU hashgacha) that is preferred by squirrels and other rodents.

A bunch of Litvish guys in Black Hats can run up and down 13th Avenue passionately waving yellow flags and singing yechi. Does that make them any less yearning for z’man moishiach than if they did so on Eastern Parkway??

CS: There are companies which originally had “ties” to the Nazis that were sold decades ago to other entities in the U.S., EU countries, China and even EY. So it really depends on how you want to parse the ownership issue. One of the most widely referenced web sites listing corporations with direct Nazi ties or collaborations listed one of the three largest U.S. banks as selling Nazi war bonds, the 4th largest U.S. pharmaceutical company manufacturing drugs using Nazi slave labor and one of the most widely used providers of 401Ks to American businesses was a major German insurance company providing direct support to the Nazi war effort. There are still some direct 100% owned German companies that haven’t changed their upstream control since the Shoah but many have.

If you are a political cynic or pragmatist, you’d want to track ALL the news sites (from far right to far left) and maintain your own assessment of reality. Alternatively, you can subscribe to certain hard copy reliable frum media and make sure you scan the most recent edition before your wife grabs it eruv shabbos to wrap the fish.

So it wasn’t you getting off that plane with an umbrella in your hand smiling at the cameras and intoning “peace in our time”???

So Neville, after 2 weeks and 175 posts later, has anything really changed or will you be taking another 4 year hiatus and returning again in 2027 like the Rip Van Winkle of the CR bemoaning the fact that Trump had another election stolen from him and Hunter Biden has announced his candidacy to run against Don Jr. in the 2028 Presidential elections.

Square Root: There is new technology available for methane capture and utilization via combustion.

After watching a few deep fake campaign ads for both ends of the political spectrum, its going to be almost impossible to know whats real in the coming election cycle. Most impressive was an impassioned video featuring Trump himself endorsing AOC for reelection and Chuck Schumer urging voters in the Third Congressional District on Long Island to reelect George Santos.

A story he shared regarding a time before his future father-in-law visited his father to speak about the proposed shidduch with his daughter, he saw his father remove from his bookcases every sefer that had his son’s name written inside. The Rav, Z’L explained that it was customary for visiting talmedei chachaim to browse through their host’s bookshelves, and he did not want to “impress” his visitor with anything that did not belong to him personally. Among his great contributions was to compile and reissue the sefarim of his grandfather, the Chasan Sofer to which he added some of his own thoughts.

Reminder that it is Justice Gorsuch, the author of the opinion, who has consistently pushed back as to how the dormant commerce clause can be applied. Justice Gorsuch’s opinion holds that California’s law on pork sales is strictly kosher because it doesn’t intentionally discriminate economically against out-of-state businesses, unlike other state laws that the Court has struck down. Gorsuch along with conservative Justices Thomas and Barrett were true to their federalist beliefs and did not find any Constitutional basis for federal preemption of a state’s policy preferences on how food sold in that state should be produced. To rule otherwise, would grant the federal government powers to override state laws on virtually unlimited matters of varying import, something that seems to have escaped the Chief Justice.

Justice Kavanaugh puts it best: California “has attempted, in essence, to unilaterally impose its moral and policy preferences for pig farming and pork production on the rest of the Nation” and “propounded a ‘California knows best’ economic philosophy” that “undermines federalism and the authority of individual States.”

Justice Gorsuch writes that Congress, under its Commerce Clause authority, can pass a law that overrules state regulation like California’s. That’s a good message to send to Capitol Hill. But until that happy day, and especially in this polarized era, the majority opinion will embolden more states to impose their social policies on the commerce of other states.

The Court’s majority also offers no clear guidance to lower-court judges who will have to decide challenges to those state laws. Don’t be surprised if the policy preferences of judges replace the judge-made doctrine the Court has now thrown over the side.
