    The above 28 year old is exactly what I was saying about kollel culture and wanting girls with rich parents. This is an upside down understanding of limud hatorah. Our sages learned without this “system”.

    Also, I come from an environment were both men and women had to figure out their lives at a younger age. FFB communities with such a problem is a result of a failed culture. However, I don’t know if every community in the frum world is like this.

    As a late 20’s single who is still in the פרשה of שידוכים, I can say the following:

    1. I admit to have been more picky that needed.

    2. I have been told that because of my B”T background, some parents were skeptical of me dating their daughters.

    3. I was told that I’d find better learning and dating opportunities in Israel.

    4. Paying for a dating site means nothing since you have no way of knowing if you’ll actually get anywhere. Having a resume/profile is good enough.

    5. Some שדכנים don’t understand basic, human compatibility.

    *Remember that it’s all from Hashem.

    1. Trump was the best for Israel.

    2. Joe isn’t really mentally there, so his policies could be dictated by a secular, Left-Wing, San Fransicko nutcase who inter-married a non-observant Jew. That Yid doesn’t have a strong Jewish identity. The so-called “Jews” that will be in the Biden/Harris administration are likely to be relatively worse than their Trump/Pence counter-parts.

    3. I would be less skeptical of the Biden/Harris administration if it did NOT overturn any of Trump’s policies that made it easier for Israel. For example, if they didn’t move the embassy to Tel Aviv or denounce the Golan, then I wouldn’t be as critical. However, Israel is also affected by other countries, and if they turn a blind-eye on Shia-Islamist Iran, that could be a problem for Israel as well. It would also be an issue for the Gulf Arab states too. It’s all a big chess game.

    1. Historically, men married women younger than them.

    2. FFBs aren’t as open to marrying BTs as they could be.

    The Unstumppable Trump is the greatest president in American history who has done more to fix the economy and military.

    Traitor Joe would make it easier for Communist China which puts Uighurs in concentration camps and is a threat to Japan as well as India.

    The city that Harris represents had an increase in crime when she became more politically powerful.

    To the first post, Harris isn’t as vocal on supporting the Arabs as much as she’s vocal on other issues, but given the people that this woman is affiliated with, she will be putting Anti-Israel politicians into power.

    To Reb Eliezer, given both countries are now allies, it isn’t. That would be like saying that Russia is Anti-Russian for selling guns to a Russian ally.

    To UJM, That means that Biden is getting help from foreign help for a campaign. Where’s the Biden-Abbas Collusion story, here?

    I don’t live in NYC, but logically, getting money for schools is more important than having rights to play in playgrounds. If you’re already paying taxes to NYC, bout might as well get some benefit from your own taxes. Logically, just sitting this out is logical.

    Now, besides that, there is a wicked double standard I do not like when people have the right to go on planes (which is a small space) but not shuls (which can be much larger). The Corona pandemic is being used by the secular elites as an attack on our traditions.

    Interesting.

    The A1 visa seems good. The student visa would be good (as I am still single). Perhaps, when the lockdown gets less locked, I could try to at least get a student visa or travel permit. Though, the A1 seems like it’s worth it for the long-run.

    I would consider going to an Israeli Embassy in America since I did meet someone who obtained an Israeli passport via it.

    The cases for allowing abortion don’t come up that often. Most abortions in the world are forced, and goyim can not take a life with leniencies that apply to saving Jewish women. But again, I repeat that you can’t have a government built on leniencies that are based on rare situations. Even former abortion “doctors” do not claim that there were actually any life-saving operations done from their sins.

    Also, on a sociopolitical note, if you brainwash goyim to murder their own children, they’ll murder our’s. That already happened in many countries, and the idea that you can’t see the long-term damage done by heavily promoting such a leniency. Sometimes, a nation has to be stringent.

    P.S. The political party that overtly promotes abortion also promotes sexual immorality.

    There will be new world order when the mashiach becomes king of Israel. The evil elites are trying to create their own kingdom but will ultimately fail.

    We already live in a morally torn society where abortion and sexual immorality are normal. Americans look down upon families with many kids, the food is unhealthy, and you can’t watch most TV channels or hear appropriate lyrics on popular music radio. These evil animals already influence this place.

    The last comment is true. Morroco and Tunisia aren’t as heavily involved in the Islamist ideologies that are affecting countries like Yemen. Pakistan is somewhat more influenced by the English-speaking world (given its history). They’ve had some respectable leaders that wanted to make Pakistan more decent.

    However, the original post would practically make sense for Oman. The Sunni-led gulf states have an incentive to seek help to deal with the Shia-led Iran.

    Saudi Arabia has also undergone some serious changes in the past decade, so their kingdom’s historic anti-Jewish sentiment might decline with the rise of some newer leaders.

    The actions of Bill and Hillary are not the same; Bill was not in the Obama administration.

    Kennedy was the last Democrat to do anything special for us since the Post-1948 world. However, he was killed while in power. The other democrats’ since him were not that great even though Bill Clinton pardoned many people. However, Obama had his entire administrative era to pardon Rubashkin. Obama was generally weak with Observant Jewish people.

    With Trump, Orthodoxy is on the spotlight (which would be good for our future even if it means very little now), and America has a better relationship with Israel (which matters even if you’re not a Tsionist since most Jews live in either America or Israel).

    NYC has been a broken and corrupt place for ages. The culture of Non-Khasidic Yidden living in Brooklyn is limited to only a small number of places. It’s over. Queens is pathetic too! And Manhattan is more modern for my type. If you’re a Frum Yid living in NYC and plan to stay in America, you have a better option in the Greater Lakewood Area (including Jackson and Tom’s River). You also Frum communities in or near other cities like Philadelphia.

    I didn’t want to go into detail during the heat of the debate, but I did want to share some thoughts.

    I would like to add that I was not born into a Khareidi or Dati family (though I am now involved in a Yeshivish community). Currently, I do not identify as part of the Tsionist movement even though I did before I became Shomer Shabbos. I only identified with the word “Tsionist” back when I knew little Torah and had a developing interest in identifying as a Jew. I became less interested when I became aware that the Jewish religion is the crown of the Jewish Nation and essential in the preservation of nation. I guess identifying with a word like “Tsionist” is just as logically irrelevant as whether or not someone identifies with any other “-ist” or “-ism”.

    There were Yidden making Aliyah in the Pre-British [colonial] era. The Rambam was, at on point there, and there was the khevra in Tsfas. The Khassidish and Yeshivish/Litvish sub-cultures of Ashkenazi Yidden have well-established communities in Eretz Yisrael. So do Sfardim! The user “Rational” did have a good point by saying this wasn’t battled out generations ago. If there was, then there would have already been commentary about it.

    The Gemara in Kesubos actually claims that the 3 Oaths are really 6 Oaths. The gemara in Kesubos also claims that one who makes Aliyah should make the opposite of Aliyah.The gemara also claims the following:

    ת”ר לעולם ידור אדם בא”י אפי’ בעיר שרובה עובדי כוכבים ואל ידור בחו”ל ואפילו בעיר שרובה ישראל שכל הדר בארץ ישראל דומה כמי שיש לו אלוה וכל הדר בחוצה לארץ דומה כמי שאין לו אלוה שנא’ (ויקרא כה, לח) לתת לכם את ארץ כנען להיות לכם לאלהים

    The Rabbis taught: A man should always live in the Land of Israel, even in a city of which the majority are idolaters, and not live outside of the Land of Israel, even in a city where the majority is Jewish. For whoever lives in the Land of Israel, it is as if he has a God. And whoever lives outside of the Land of Israel, it is as if he has no God. For it is said (Leviticus 25:38): “to give you the land of Canaan, to be your God.” -Kesubos Daf Kuf-Yud Amud Beis.

    How can one choose not to live in Israel when there are [ברוך השם] many Khareidi communities one can live in? BeUrBest claimed that it’s different which makes sense. It’s surely not like America; it’s surely not like any other part of the world. Toldos Aharon is based in Israel. Other good rebbes live in Israel too. I don’t understand why many Jews practically worship New York. Shouldn’t the trend of moving to Lakewood at least signify something?

    Someone interested in learning an entire concept should learn not just one part of one sugya but the whole thing. It’s not like every Pre-Tsionist Rabbi was historically against Aliyah. However, some people have tried to manipulate and amplify a specific hashkafah in order to make it look like that.

    I am also upset that “holier than thou” people have openly misused (if not abusted) the 3 Oaths and misued the words of the Satmar Rebbe and Brisker Rav. I’ve only heard the words “Satmar” and “Brisk” being in the same paragraph in reference to Tsionism. However, I was never told by [most of] those who oppose Tsionism that living in Israel is literally a bad thing to do. I’ve ironically met a Tsionist who doesn’t believe he is ready to make Aliyah.

    During the Corona Pandemic, I realized that it can be hard to live anywhere, so why not live in the land that was meant for us? My interest in making aliyah is dominated by rukhnius. There are more people there interested in rukhnius. The Israeli people that are “Kharedi” take Yiddishkeit seriously. Marriage is a holy thing, and for my type, it is better for shiddukhim. The secondary motivation (which I did not learn untill after applying to make aliyah) is financial. Certain schools have subsidies. It’s not like America (which is too big and diverse to have Israel’s socioeconomic system). You don’t have to be a money-chasing animal that has to take up a lucrative career. I intended to make Aliyah in the true way – which implies making it without the intent of leaving. That is the true Aliyah.

    P.S. I did call Tsionism a “physical” reason to imply that it is secular and should not be seen as Kadosh as the mitzvah of living in the desireable land that Our Father gave us. Politics is part of the physical world just like economics. It’s בעצם secular.

    And as a late and irrelevant comment to “Rational”: tucking in tzitzit doesn’t make someone not Frum. It would specifically depend on the reasons why one tucks it in.
