    Trump means what he says for no longer than 15 minutes, and rarely says anything that has a coherent meaning.

    To ywnjudy: In your last sentence, are you alluding to the “herring maven” in the Vita Herring commercials? I have not heard those radio ads in years.

    And for those of you who do not recall the advertising tag line, it was/is: “Make your day a little bit brighter (pronounced Brooklyn-style without the final r-sound/it a little piece of herring by Vita.”

    The opening post implies that Jews in shidduchim are extremely superficial. I don’t believe it. And the opening poster has not disclosed his credentials for giving nutritional advice.

    Chabad is likely the best place to start. They are non-judgmental, interested in keeping off-the-derech Jews on the derech, and very welcoming. The schluchim I have met are also very smart, very kind and ready to help any Jew in any way they can.

    “If I were a goy” was a song in Fiddler on the Roof”, but it was cut from the show. The producers were concerned that it would cut ticket sales to, Wii, goyim.

    To always asks: it sounds like you are proposing something I have been proposing for years, i.e., frum Jews enrolling in public schools for secular education, and teaching Torah in separate schools. It is plausible in NYC public schools because of of laws that allow “pullouts” of kids for religious training, and because dumping all yeshiva kids in public schools would overwhelm the public schools.

    Well, only nOnesorah answered my question. Some others had worthwhile comments. The correct answer is as follows: No, a law (federal, state or local) requiring the posting of the Ten Commandments is not good for the Jews. Among other things, such a requirement violates the establishment clause of the US constitution. And it would set a precedent requiring the posting other laws , e.g., accepting a savior, accepting a single prophet, and lots of other things that violate, or are contrary to the teachings of, the Torah. So, no, a legal requirement to post the Ten Commandments would not be good for the Jews.
