    biggest proof that there was lots of fraud that could have possibly altered the election is that there was no transparency. To prove that there wasn’t fraud they should have opened up a complete investigation for 10 days and have all the data exposed. Meanwhile instead of doing that they just kept on pushing the democrat narrative that there’s no basis for the fraud and what not. When you have millions of people believing that there was fraud, even if Trump is the one that made them believe that you must prove not. You can’t just say there’s no basis. Which leads us all to believe that there probably was so much fraud that they were afraid to expose the data. That’s it. Plain and simple. Common sense. But common sense is quite uncommon these days with the democrats running the media
    Nice to see you!

    Let’s be clear and realistic. The vast majority of bochurim who smoke don’t smoke heavy. They smoke a few a day.
    Almost all bochurim stop completely or smoke considerably less after their married.
    It is a problem.
    But Yeshivas have to pick their battles. In todays day and age you cannot be to strict on bochurim

    Reb Eliezer, It’s not that Biden will listen to his advisors, it’s that they will own him.

    Trump has a brain, quite a smart one.

    with Biden president there would have been many more deaths. He called Trump Xnephobic. Meanwhile he’s the Znephobic one now. Trump is balanced. But the media picks at every second Trump doesn’t wear a mask. Masks became a religion. It is no longer a safety measure. It’s a religion.
    People are judged completely by whether they wear a mask or not.

    Unfortunately it’s leaked into our community to.
    I heard a guy say that he no longer respects someone because he heard that he davened by a porch minyan. [this was said in April] People no longer are given the right to make responsible decisions.
    Doctors are now putting out kol koreis!!
    This is not normal. Only competent Rabbanim should be doing that. Yes, even regarding medical things. Doctors are only to inform Rabbanim of the facts, not sign kol koreis.
    Doctors were only given permission to heal, not to lead the Jewish people.

    ReElect Trump! No, he isn’t the biggest mentch. But he has balanced ideas and policies. He isn’t narrow minded. All Biden sees is to close country people are dying. We could close country but well have more suicide, more drug and alcohol related deaths.
    For any thinking person, the riots that took place in the George floyd thing were all partially due to the lockdown. Yes, the lockdown that some say saved lives, was partially responsible for the riots. People were cooped up in their houses for months so they let it all out. Also many had no cash because of the lockdown…
    Now I’m not saying the lockdown back then shouldn’t have been done. Could be that back then it was necessary. But all i’m saying is that everything has to considered.
    But Biden doesn’t see that.
    So sad that people are fooled by Biden

    he isn’t responsible for 210000 deaths. He’s responsible for making sure it wasn’t 1,000,000 or more by closing the border for China. He is just being balanced and wearing a mask when neccessary but when outside in a nicely spaced area it isn’t necessary. He has a balance of caution and normalcy. Unlike Biden and the media. Life must be normal. Yes people did die. Everyone has to be careful. But also normal.

    so sad that so many people are fooled by Bidens facade. He’s a robot to the liberal left. He’ll be incapacitated within a year or two mentally.
    We know Trump isn’t a mentch but he’s gotten the job done and from the only ones that see things clearly regarding the virus. Biden sees it like this. Close the economy, people are dying from the virus.
    Trumps sees it like this. People are dying from the virus. If we leave the country totally closed more people will lose their entire businesses bringing them into clinical depression. Drug and alcohol addiction will go up. Children won’t function properly. So Trump says, we must make a balance. People at risk should properly protect themselves. Otherwise life must resume. Wear masks when neccessary. Yes you may get the virus. But it’s not a deadly illness for the vast majority.
    So sad that people are fooled by Biden and the Liberal left.

    And Law enforcement. Basically Biden wants to dismantle Law enforcement. He wants to social services involved instead. What a clown. And people so sadly fall for that.
    No wonder why our cities were torn apart by the riots and Deblasio and his cronies just stood bye. Well, well see alot more of that with Biden the robot.

    rabboisai, I am not encouraging minyanim. But for those who quote Reb Chaim, you always have to know how it was presented and the type of case that was presented. Someone told me he doesn’t want to participate in my block minyan because R’ Chaim paskened not to. I told him, it’s quite obvious to any person that the rabbanim and Gedolim that have assured minyanim were referring to minyanim in shuls and houses and outdoor minyanim that require congregation albeit six apart, its still congregating and increasing the risk of spreading disease. But in a case that every person sticks to his porch and there is no mingling at all, that obiously wasn’t meant to assur. It’s just that this is very uncommon and can lead to mingling so it’s definitely not being encouraged. But if someone arranged it and there is no mingling just sticking to each ones porch I wouldn’t think that the rabbanim meant that.

    correct. It’s definitely better in one room. I believe it’s not agreed by all the poskim. I’m going to be meayin iy’h over Shabbos. But that would explain why your RY didn’t want to use that. But obviously now that’s the only thing we can do.

    an israeli yid: There is a din of “roeyin zeh es zeh”. Yes it does work {lefi most shitos} forsure if there are ten people that can see each other. The lashon is “im miktzoson royin zeh es zeh”. I’m not sure if miktzas is enough because there’s only two separate reshuyos in that case so if some from each reshus see some from the other reshus it connects them. But in my case everyone is in a separate domain so maybe everyone has to see everyone to be connected. I have other shaylos in this. This concept of royin is nogaya with davening with a minyan and about zimun by bentching. There is a shita that if there is a derech harabim mafshik, it separates the minyan. But that seems to be a daas yachid. This is all according to my understanding. If you check and see differently let me know the mareh mekomos.

    well guys, my block in flatbush has a minyan daily now which fits with all the guidelines. Although in the beginning I was hesitant to daven there being that all the rabbanim said we should daven beyechidus. But then I realized that this minyan fits the guidelines. Everyone stands on their front porch and together we have around 20-25 people along approx. a third to half the block and we daven beminyan. Shabbos on person davened for the amud all the tefillos because he had a nice loud voice that everyone was able to hear. But now someone got a speaker so it’s easier. Everyone stays by their porch. No mingling. It’s beautiful.

    This reminds of something a friend of mine told me. So this guy had separated and divorced unfortunately like 3 months after he got married. So we were schmoozing and he told me how some people were seemingly inconsiderate and rude to him without even realizing what they were saying.

    He told me an example. Right after he separated so he was out in a restaurant eating supper with his brother. One of his friends saw him and told him jokingly something along th lines of “your wife doesn’t make good enough food so you ran away to eat?”. …go figure…

    Not everyone realizes how things sound on the other end.

    Mount: I definitely feel your pain. Even for non working boys there’s those things that your just treated younger even if ur 28. For example gelila is usually given to kids or younger people. Now, it happens to be that its a zechus to do it. But the minhag became that its given to younger. So there could be a shul full of married guys 22 and a single guy 28. The 28 year old will often get it. Now that’s a bit embarrassing. A friend of mine whose 30 told me he davens in a place where he’s the only bochur and the married guys aren’t old. He told me he got gelila EIGHT TIMES IN A ROW. EMBARRASSMENT.

    So all singles out there, were all in this together. Sometimes people aren’t as considerate as they should be. They don’t usually realize it. So we should be Dan lkaf zchus. Also, we should accept this as part of the nisayon. It’s hard. But it’s like any nisayon.

    Wow. I’m happy to see that there is another opinion on this!

    I’m just thinking that those that appreciate it may be of the female gender so it may just be a difference in nature. That’s just a thought but I could be wrong.

    Additionally, it seems that some people here think that if a single doesn’t receive the “iy’h by you”, it means that he or she is not being thought about.

    I beg to differ on that one. You don’t need to remind me openly that i’m single to show that your thinking of me. If you just give the single a call or even a text to say hello and see how he or she is doing also shows that you care about him. If when you see the single by a wedding or event you strike conversation and genuinely show that you care about the person WITHOUT openly reminding the person that he’s single, also shows the person you care. In many cases the person will appreciate a warm hug.
    If you think of a shidduch for the person and mention it also shows you care.

    monsey shechita-just because the person doesn’t wish back iy’h by you bekorov, doesn’t mean he doesn’t care. If he says “Thanks so much for coming I really appreciate it, it means so much to me, and a big hug, I wouldn’t think most people would feel bad. But again, I could be wrong here.

    Joseph- I’m just recalling the good old CR days, I think we used to fight alot back then(:

    But I don’t think that the kvata thing is so openly reminding someone that their single. Rather most people would feel good that their cared about.

    Have I addressed everyone?(:

    To add, that by getting a smartphone at the age of 20, a person is there bye committing to spend no less than 18,000 hours of his life on his phone. This is those who don’t use it more then an hour a day.
    18000 hours is roughly 2 years. and in awake time it’s 3 years. That’s like commiting suicide 3 years before a person would die.
    Think twice before you do this.
    Your time is precious and limited. You could possibly learn shas b’iyun in that amount of time!
    Imagine after 120 when they show a person that he could have done that with the smartphone time.
    That is, in shul waiting for davening to start, in the doctors office, on the train, and so on.
    Think twice!

    showjoe: I tell you Rav Shteinman and you tell me DatiLeumi? Is that normal? Dati Leumi are not the people who are telling us what the Torah wants. They are going right K’neged the hashkafos that Torah wants from us. Modern orthodoxy is directly Kneged the Torah. Hashem wants us to follow the people who live with the Torah and know exactly what is wanted from us. Not people who think that we have to fit in to society. We are different. We are the chosen nation, and we have to be proud of that. We need not modernize ourselves even one iota. Rav Shteinman is leading the Jewish people. Modern orthodoxy is MISLEADING the Jewish people.

    With that being said, Gut Voch to all.

    BarryLS1 and to all who express opinion here opposite the Gedolim:

    It’s mind boggling to me to see how people can talk straight up against our Gedolim who are leading us in this rough golus. Rav Shteinman and the other Gedolim have told us NOT to go and stay in Yeshiva. No questions as asked. We listen unconditionally, no matter what our own logic tells us. This being because they perceive everything the way the Torah wants and they act upon that. We see with our own logic, not necessarily through the Torah. But of course we”ll answer it up to fit with the Torah with logic like “Hishtadlus”. Foolishness this is, do you think R’ Shteinman Shlita doesn’t know about hishtadlus.

    You show very little yiras shamayim with your posts. Who are you to argue with gedolim of our generation. They are the people who know and will guide us what to do. You say that the charedim are the minority and have no monetary or military power. You seem quite misguided. The charedim are the ones that are learning Hashems Torah. They have all the possibal backing that they need by the Torah. Those fighting the Torah on the other hand have no one with them. They are living in a daze thinking that fighting the Torah will get them somewhere. This is a fight AGAINST the Torah by the zionists. It is clear which is the Torahdik view.
