flatbush – I agree.
dd – you misunderstood. the writer is stating that the yeshiva administrator’s salary and benefits was structured to maximize the qualifications (legally) for government assitance.
very smart of them.
squeak, it was a thin cover. 😉
SJS – do you need your return done?
As long as the low of the world take free reign of all available government money, every Jew should apply for and receive every available dollar they technically qualify for.
Jay, qwerty – Yasher koach.
azi – I haven’t ever seen that product.
areivim – correct.
squeak, I just asked for the favor of a larger synopsis 🙂 Do you know it off-hand?
squeak, your return is done. the irs accepted your amnesty plea. i did notice a precipitous drop in income since August. it is strongly correlated with the number of your posts made in the cr. i will give you the full scoop iy’h in the mikva erev shabbos.
As long as Jewish tax dollars pay for the chaleres using welfare, every qualified Jew should take FULL advantage of every available dollar.
there should be some leeway in allowing off topic posts; but it should not be allowed to stray completely into high school chatter.
anon – Many past President’s have done so. i.e. Reagan appointed his political opponent Bush (Sr.) as his running mate/V.P.
ames, was the mispallel physically blocking the door? That is, of course, wrong too. My thought was regarding the prohibition to walk within 4 amos in front of someone davening shemonei esrei (since the Shechina is there, and it disturbs the mispallel.) As a result, a person cannot daven Shemone Esrei from a spot the 4 amos in front of him include the entranceway of a door.
Aruch Hashulchan 72:7: “Now let us come and cry out regarding the immodesty of our generation, because of our many sins. For many years (some) Jewish women have been neglectful regarding this transgression, and they go with uncovered hair. All which they (the leaders, rabbis) have screamed about this has not helped or accomplished anything. Now the plague has spread, that married women go about with their hair just like unmarried women! Woe to us that such has occurred in our days.”
According to Torah law, married women must cover their hair whenever they are outside their home. A woman who fails to do so forfeits her kesubah and should technically be divorced by her husband (Kesuvos 72a; E.H. 115:1-4). Mishnah Berurah 75:14 and Beiur Halachah say it must even be covered inside the home.
Since the hair must be covered, when it is not covered it is considered an ervah, an uncovered area. No male may recite Kerias Shema, pray, recite a blessing, or learn Torah when the uncovered hair is visible to him (O.C. 75:2. This halachah applies to one’s own wife, sister, mother, etc. as well.). Accordingly, if such a person happens to be at the Shabbos table, Kiddush may not be recited.
The Mishna Brura states: even if it is the custom of this woman and her friends in that place to walk with uncovered hair publicly, in the way of immodest people, one may not recite prayers in view of her hair.
azi,
Please. You are treading on thin ice. Did you read the new rules posted? One of them is specifically regarding Loshon Hara.
As far as your amartzus (and mods, there is no nicer way to put it — this is halacha) regarding the Aruch Hashulchan — The Aruch Hashulchan (Orech Chaim 75:8) specifically says that it is forbidden for a woman to go outside without her hair covered. He is maiked regarding it being considered erva when a man must say a bracha, as long as the man cannot see her hair while he is reciting the blessing. However, the Mishna Brura (75:10) strongly disagrees even with this leniency (that is anyways only applicable regarding a man reciting a bracha in her prescence) and forbids any blessing or prayers to be said in the presence of a married woman with her hair uncovered. This applies even to a husband in his own home if his wife has not fully covered her hair.
A person should also be careful to not daven Shemone Esrei behind a door — thus preventing others from entering or leaving that door while he is in middle of Shemone Esrei.
Town Crier, spare us. You’ve more than made clear your left ideologies on the main yw board.
were, rather.
squeak, some of your usenet posts are hilarious.
He has yet to perform.
azi, you are mistaken once again. but please be careful in the future not to malign your bubbes when you make these mistakes.
jphone – all your arguments could technically be made about tv; I would certainly hope you wouldn’t advance the same arguments vis-a-vis tv.
azi, correct. In Poland and Russia our heilige bubbe’s were more likely to wear shpitzels.
If you want to talk about Mogen Av, start a thread about it…
Curious – You have not been using YWN or the CR long enough. I don’t need an invitation to any thread.
Day 111 – Relatives and Non-Jews
p
squeak – can you please elucidate that with more details?
Your description of rolling in the snow for mussar purposes fits in with what the Alter of Novardok had his talmidim do – they rolled around in the snow and layed down in graves, “al derech mussar”.
Which Chasidim did similar? And what were the original misnagdim’s taaina on the Chasidim? And was that taaina applicable to the original talmidim of the Baal Shem?
s
ICOT –
In your first case, I more than agree with your assesment.
In your second, if his intent is pure I think he is doing the correct thing. But it may not help all too much, as he will be seen hypocritically.
In your third, I agree with your assessment, but would give him more credit for accomplishing good.
In your fourth, you haven’t described your assessment of the matter, but I do agree with your description.
e
asdf, in all your years? it used to be 26, then 24. what is it now?
“chairperson”? That is politically-correct gobbledigook.
moish, your becoming a bigger tzaddik everyday!
squeak – re: your comments of the rolling in snow and mussar, I do believe you are referencing what they did in Novardok — which is of fairly recent vintage i.e early 1900’s — and the Alter of Navardok was a talmid of Rav Yisrael Salanter and the mussar movement. I’m not sure how you are fitting that into Chasidus.
I’m glad the comfort didn’t come from the dogs! 🙂
squeak – when is it that you are referring that it is a person’s option whether or not to accept what a Rav states as merely a suggestion or binding? And are you implying that the Chasidim of the Baal Shem rolled in snow and only learnt mussar all day (and that it only evolved otherwise later)?
squeak – And you tell me that I have a long memory?
syrian – its ridiculous that 95% of Syrians spend the summer in Syria? Why? Is it more like over 99%?
AL2,
You should wash and make hamoitzi for a Melave Malka.
Chacham, that is indeed a good nomination. To put it into context, one needs to see this thread:

Artscroll is permitted!
Curious, why were you trying to breach it? highly inappropiate… tsk, tsk, tsk.
opposites attract.
er, designated runner.
ames, the alternative is to follow squeak’s suggestion.
squeak, another tidbit you’ve recently added is that you have a train conductor you can actually talk to.
squeak – when did you become such a frummie to replace the A with a K? 🙂
gavra,
I’m not understanding your question to me – are you assuming violating ones shibudim are not assur? As you are aware, shibudim means “obligations.”
And any true Rov will defer when appropriate. One who doesn’t is a faker regardless of the garb he dons. If you can’t trust him not to defer when appropriate, you can’t trust him for Sof Zman Krias Shma.
squeak, I don’t believe areivim ever reference any particular age for you – just bachelorhoodness.
Curious – Just, please, have a designated driver today.
