“really strong female protagonist”
there supposed to be “strong”? Is that a N.O.W. ideal?
tank, I agree that it is absolutely ridiculous the noise emanating from these various devices used during megila leining.
Those acting badly ARE a minority within a minority.
Reb Moshe specifically said in his teshuvas that handshaking is derech chiba. I quoted the three Igros Moshe’s in a previous post.
Minors drinking alcohol was discussed here:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/smoking-2/page/2
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/smoking-2/page/3
with the law allowing minors to drink for religious purposes/obligations. The law (in NY at least) makes no distinction between quantity or religious purpose.
Yasher Koach Feivel.
Jothar, I’m right, but squeak doesn’t like absolute statements.
yossiea, “IIRC” doesn’t cut it. Please provide a mekor. Additionally, even if your quote about a famine is correct, that would apparently be a pekuach nefesh issue not a financial issue.
Jothar, you seem to view Gedolim as helpless pawns of “askanim” and who cannot see past them — something apparently you can.
Raised, you’re a baal teshuva?
How could it not be a Kohein’s first question if the proposed shidduch is a divorcee (especially if hes divorced and can assume people may make such a mistake)?
Clinton tried the same thing by attacking Limbaugh. It elevated Limbaugh and lowered Clinton (how much lower though could Clinton go?).
ames, it requires further study.
whats hope the queen can too?
moish, did you really need to cut short all the accolades I was receiving for my original humor? I should have posted it here first before posting it on the other sites.
Jothar, you have a repeated tendency to make bold, and incorrect, assumptions. 🙂
BTW, since when can a psak din be “quietly withdrawn”? And saying “from what I understand” does not instill a whole lot of confidence in your statement.
If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn’t it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, and dry cleaners depressed?
Laundry workers could decrease, eventually becoming depressed and depleted! Even more, bedmakers will be debunked, baseball players will be debased, bulldozer operators will be degraded, organ donors will be delivered, software engineers will be detested, the BVD company will be debriefed, and even musical composers will eventually decompose.
On a more positive note, though, perhaps we can hope politicians will be devoted.
kapusta, please explain yourself.
David,
There are poskim that pretty much hold all Torah shebaal peh is assur to teach to ones daughters. See the post I quoted on the first page of this thread.
5 years ago. AXA already owned Equitable. (It was Equitable that demutualized late 80’s; AXA is the French insurer that purchased Equitable early 90’s.)
cherrybim,
You are mistaken. There is no such thing as halacha being something is assur, but that “no Posek will ever tell them that they must adhere to these rules.”
You are also mistaken that “all contact between the father/[adopted] daughter or mother/[adopted] son must cease and Yichud issues apply as well.” The Igros Moshe E.H. 4:64-2 says it is permissible. (Most other poskim disagree with Reb Moshe though.)
Its a very old minhug yisroel.

“Even to speak with her when she is behind a fence is not something we tell him to do. He should die rather than speak to her from behind a fence.”
This Rambam is talking about even an unmarried woman whom he lusts.
squeak,
AXA Equitable has a great Annual Renewable Term that I found costs less than even the best Level Term policies from even the best priced carriers. Less even in gross dollars vs a (10/20/30/etc. year) Level Term policy over the same period. Plus you pay less in the early years, thus holding onto your money longer. And it IS affordable. And you can even keep it longer than 30 years. With Level Term after the (10/20/30) policies period, you are essentially forced to drop it by the premiums thereafter.
And like Jothar said, with ROP policies, and especially with Permanent Life policies, policyholders have a very frequent tendancy to drop the policy early costing them dearly in hefty premiums plus in the case of Perm Life hefty Surrender Charges (usually in the first 10 years or so), often losing even principal money. So yes, “buy term and invest the difference” does entail necessary discipline, but so does Perm Life — and at some point(s) a policyholder may no longer be able to afford a Perm Life’s premiums, costing him principal.
squeak: “I just got mixed up.”
AGAIN?!

The Queen will then end up like Anne Boleyn.
Al’s my secretary.
Jothar, I think Rav Fuerst is contending that the person — who is a Godol himself, not an Askan — who checked out the matziv in India was fooled or mistaken. Nevertheless, I believe Rav Eliyashev disagrees with Rav Fuerst and stands by his India psak. Am I mistaken? Here you are contending the Gedolim were all mistaken, as they haven’t retracted their signature from last year.
moish, should we not take on Iran, since we are not certain Iran has or is building WMD? Maybe if we attack Iran we will end up finding out they in fact don’t have WMD.
Should we wait till we c’v see a mushroom cloud rising above an American city before we attack Iran?
regarding the free comment, generally marrieds don’t have time to drive bochorim around collecting on Purim…
ames, great last comment.
ames, thats why I recommended Annual Renewable Term. Its rates are spelled out to you up to age 70 in New York, and 100 in most other states.
cantor, yet these Yeshiva’s that you state are offering less produce Bnei Torah of a far higher caliber than the high-priced schools you feel offer more. You may dispute this, yet it is a truism that deep down we both know is the case.
squeak, BTW its time that I ought to be moida I really have no idea who you are despite having pulled the “Y” initial gag on you that got you scared, about a month ago. I knew it was true from a LONG LONG ago comment you made, that was off-topic, a very brief side-point, smack in middle of a very large thread. I knew you wouldn’t remeber having made that post; in fact I came across it entirely coincedentally when searching for something completely else. I immediately knew I hit a gold-mine, that would get you running.
you really want me too?
Thank you mazal.
just a suggestion.
Yasher Koach Editor.
Term is usually the best way to go. Whole Life and other permanent life policies, is usually (I believe) best stayed away from. You can get term and an annuity (or other investment product) separately, and generally you will do better and have less complications.
Within term, Annual Renewable Term (what squeak referred to as renewable term), I have found you pay less over the life of the policy. (This may vary.) The problem can be finding a provider that still offers ART. AXA Equitable is one. I also think its better than 10/15/20/25/30 year term, since it doesn’t expire after 10/15/20/25/30 years – requiring a new medical and a new policy.
Re: Return of Premium Term Life Insurance, you are almost always better off getting plain term and investing the difference (what more you would’ve paid for Return of Premium Term Life Insurance).
Same with Permanent Life Insurance. Get Term Life and invest the difference in an annuity or other investment product. You can choose from a wide variety of investments, have more control of it, and not have the HEAVY financial penalties if you cancel a Permanent Life Insurance policy early.
So we have a King, Queen, and Princess.
Now we need a Prince and a Pauper.
squeak volunteer pauper? Any volunteer Prince?
