    I am New at this, I promise to work and improve on this, but it’s hard when I have to keep a close eye on my wife…

    A wife should be forbidden to leave the house until dinner is cooked, laundry done, house cleaned, the exception being to go out for groceries, but I suggest being machmir and get deliveries. If it’s being delivered by a male driver,she must remain in the house until he leaves, then schlep the boxes up herself.
    BH for nanny cams, so the husband can keep a close eye on her

    I wholeheartedly disagree with you. There are many gamoras that are proven to be completely contradictory to known science and the way people try to say that science doesn’t know what they’re talking about or some other convoluted answers that the nature changed from 2000 years ago to now so drastically. I think that’s complete disrespect to our previous rabbi’s, and grmaras, it turns educated people off to the authenticity of chazal. They were great people light years above our level. We don’t come up to their toenails. You will also find that even in learning they made mistakes, their contemporaries proves them wrong and sometimes they backtracked,yes chazal can be wrong they were exceptional HUMANS. The Torah itself records Moshe rabeinu sinning ro teach us that he’s not a god he’s human.

    Using chazal and Torah to market stuff is not new, I remember how an add in a Lakewood paper from a plumbing company,advertising that ‘Bidets’ are the most halachikly best way to clean yourself…

    You brought up rubashkin twice as an example, firstly he had a massive support system with thousands rooting for him and helping him,which is immensely helpful for his morality, this hardly helps someone that has private marriage troubles.
    Secondly, what makes you think that he was happy in prison, to be sure he worked on himself, that doesn’t mean he was happy and didn’t need moral boosting. If it was so terrible and horrible in there as he always said,then im pretty sure he spent some of time being depressed in that horrible evil place of Otisville

    I’ve heard many people make comments like, why don’t the rabbis change the laws…. rabbis can only make safeguards or certain stringencies to uphold a torah law, it’s amazing how many Frum ppl don’t understand this.

    You say as a fact that get Meuseh is kneed halacha and causes mamzeirus, I assume you are a ‘bar plugtah’ and know better than rav belsky,amongst other rabanim who was a strong advocate for them. I’m sure if these rabbonim spent as much time on yeshiva world, then they would know better.and they would be blown away by your arguments.

    The torah says explicitly many times that if you want brachos, then you need to follow in God’s ways, you can’t do whatever sins you want and then go get a magic blessing from your rabbi, much like the fools that line up at these so called self proclaimed kabbalists

    What about the mishna in avos “lefum tzaara agra” pretty explicit that your reward is on your effort. So if it’s more of an effort to be machmir ( real bona-fide chumras) then it follows that you should get more reward ( this is coming from someone that tries to be meikel!)

    I agree that I made assumptions, which is how I started my statement that I’m pretty certain, of course I could be wrong.
    My main point was contrast, of course some people are more suitable for the ideals of Lakewood, and some people need the YU, derech. And I believe in many cases Lakewood has pushed too far to the right, on the contrast yu. is pushing too far to the left. And I certainly agree that gay people need help and support. I was expressing my concern that making an official club would mainstream it too much.

    Seeing that the world is at the point where homosexuality is not only considered accepted and normal we’re almost at the point that straight people have to apologize for being the way we are,
    The only purpose the club would serve would be to normalize that in the Torah world. Even if the intention is to do it using Torah values and guidance, it would normalize it too much. I’m pretty certain that if the Lakewood yeshiva was faced with that decision that they would not cave an iota

    FYI a dj usually comes out cheaper than a full band, and is just as lively if not more. Now I’m not saying that shaking and wiggling to hip hop/ reggae is the way to usher in your Ol malchus, but these are the times….

    Putting the actual psak Halacha aside for a moment, most companies are making products more convenient and user friendly, if for what ever reason people would be more comfortable not tearing letters, would it be such a big deal to redesign the label? Random products that have no reason to have gluten in it, will have large print proclaiming it to be gluten free,so why not from a business standpoint start advertising “mehudar candy wrappers no Chashash of chillul shabbos, endorsed by all the gedolom”
