Why blame parents when there are so many libs who deserve blame?

To philosopher and common saychel: You seem to believe that Hashem expects nothing of us regarding our health and the health of others. That is colossally wrong. You also fail to make any connection between the mitzvah of chesed and an obligation to protect others from your infections by wearing a mask and taking other precautions.

And philosopher, not all viruses are the same. Death rates from viruses other than COVID is generally low, whereas death rates from COVID is, well, a deadly pandemic.

To philosopher: You clearly underrate the willingness of people who do not know you to do something to help you and others infected with COVID. And you overlook the responsibility of government to help put an end to a deadly pandemic. I don’t like wearing a mask, or staying inside, or any of the other precautions that are necessary during this pandemic, but I do it gladly to protect the rest of the world, including you, and to bring this pandemic to an end.

Unilever, the owner by acquisition of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, is also the owner, by acquisition, of Slim Fast, a company that makes and sells dietary supplements. The founders of both companies were Jewish, both enormously successful financially, and both made edibles. But one purports to get you slim, fast, and the other one gets you (without directly advertising the fact) fat, fast. The Unilever business has one mission – to be profitable, whether supporting or opposing healthy eating.

My father has COVID. Please say tehillim and wear a mask.

The White House has eggs on the lawn once a year.

To ujm: I had no idea you were a grandparent, if that is what you implied. Kollel – one subject, essential, but one subject. “Career training” and “education” are not the same, not there is anything wrong with either. So, as I guessed, you have an education of a 19-year-old.

To common say: Driving like normal people is not safe enough.

Wikipedia is a generally reliable source of information. Take a look at “Temple Beth-el of Borough Park.”

I thought a Ben-Giver was a person who gives money in hundred-dollar bills.

To Lostspark: How much money is enough? None, and that is what you should pay them.

There is a woman who aggressively seeks tzedukkah on Fridays outside the grocery store in my neighborhood, and many other woman seeking tzedukkah non-aggressively. When I give to someone other than the agressive woman, she tells me that the one I gave to is not Jewish. Sometimes this is correct, but sometimes it is not, but the aggressive woman always says it. Is she in breach of halachah? She has a letter from a rabbi authorizing her to collect tzedukkah. Should I tell that rabbi about this?

To ujm: (a) I am not confused. (b) I consider “JAP” an anti-Semitic term. (c) Saudi princesses make more money and/or have more wealth than anyone else their age.

need more info. good-looking or ugly? current income and wealth? professional degree, e.g., MD, JD, CPA?

Regan was New York State Comptroller some years back, maybe when Pataki was governor. I couldn’t tell you whether Biden is the new Regan since I remember nothing about the old Regan.

There is a Polish university that wanted to become harder to get into, so they made the doorways narrower.

I misinterpreted the headline on this topic. I thought it was going to be about bochurim getting jobs and supporting themselves with their earnings while learning. I guess I have not been paying close attention.

I think there are some NFL quarterbacks who are Jewish. Maybe they could pass it to bochurim.
