So instead of plastic straws let’s destroy all the trees to make paper straws which last maybe one drink before falling apart and then we all have less oxygen and food. Do you liberals think these ideas through before blindly following? Liberals don’t do anything right.
January 25, 2023 10:36 pm at 10:36 pm in reply to: What’s Our Response to Environmentalists. #2159748lakewhutParticipantShimon, the liberals often create new environmental issues when they try to restrict the use of one material by replacing it with others. They can’t do anything right. Ok don’t use fuel so use more batteries instead. It’s narish.
lakewhutParticipantThe chasidim who are wealthy and there are a lot give back more to their communities far better than modern do. The ones who are poor are able to make weddings b’kavod because the chasidim give back . MO communities often they’re the majority of the community and they are too soft to take over the local governing boards and they don’t all have bussing. The chasidim take over the towns and use power for their benefit. The chasidim can accomplish for their towns in 6 months far better than the MO do in ten years. E.g. the one shared mikveh that’s a mile away.
lakewhutParticipantThere’s no passing grade on the SAT. You don’t really need one altogether. The modern orthodoxy approach to modernity is let’s try to incorporate the left wing view to Yiddishkeit not what does Yiddishkeit think about the left wing view.
lakewhutParticipantThe MO aren’t balancing education and Torah as R Hirsch and Soloveitchik had in mind.
lakewhutParticipantAAQ MO people need filters. Everyone does. They know what’s on there they just don’t want to talk about it and tell their community to get a filter because it’ll get backlash.
lakewhutParticipantIf you say you’re a racist and or against the American government you won’t have to serve
lakewhutParticipantYserbius the yeshivish world is on a much higher level overall.
lakewhutParticipantYserbius there are more chesed and advocacy groups within yeshivish circles than in modern. Did you ever hear about an Asifa? The agudah convention? Modern communities don’t have these things.
lakewhutParticipantMBD is a singer and Yossi Green is a composer.
lakewhutParticipantIn Lita it wasn’t uncommon for a woman to know gemaras due to the learning they were accustomed to hearing from their fathers at home.
When I was single I didn’t really understand the issue of with it; once I got married I understood pretty quickly why women should not to learn gemara, Hameivin Yavin.lakewhutParticipantWhat if they want to become a Yoetzet?
January 17, 2023 1:59 pm at 1:59 pm in reply to: Shidduchim Between Litvish Girls and Chasidish Boys #2157111lakewhutParticipantOn average chasidish boys will come off as too controlling to litvish girls. The inverse makes more sense.
lakewhutParticipantAnd CTL making simchas wasn’t the example I was getting at. Though I do think that if a wealthy person makes a party where the scene is not fitting for Jews than such person should be admonished. e.g. wild dj parties playing goyish music or lack of tznius. A bar mitzvah and wedding shouldn’t be a club scene.
lakewhutParticipantOverall it was worse in Europe than in Muslim countries. Zionism incitied rage in Arab countries towards Jews. It’s a fact that Zionists won’t admit but it’s the truth.
lakewhutParticipantCS your point?
lakewhutParticipantKiryat Moshe is near Bayit Vegan and City Center. The light rail stops there
lakewhutParticipantCTLawyer right but the difference is the rabbis won’t admonish a wealthy person when making an over the top event but will preach to others not to.
lakewhutParticipantPekak they monopolized the standard to the point that people think not glatt isn’t good when it is.
lakewhutParticipantAgain Israel would’ve taken the 48 partition plan but the Arabs didn’t even want that. Jordan is the real so-called Palestine
lakewhutParticipantThe Arabs didn’t want a partition. They want the whole thing. The so-called Palestinians won’t recognize Israel. There was an idea was that their land be Jordan and the Jews get Israel but the BH British changed their minds.
lakewhutParticipantA dating picture of a woman is usually featuring her with her best looks e.g. dressed up and full makeup at a Simcha or other rehearsed photo. It’s safe to say that women don’t always look the way they are featured in Shidduch profiles. It can be a bit disappointing if the way she appeared looked different than the picture but it shouldn’t be a dealbreaker. A mature adult would know that the picture is for show and that she’ll probably not always have her hair done and have makeup on and if the girl looks ok still that he should give her a chance to know her before saying no on account of a picture.
lakewhutParticipantAn abusive marriage isn’t a marriage it’s trapping someone
lakewhutParticipantThe fewer divorces among the chasidim may be due to women feeling powerless.
Fake news you also you’re not saying I’m wrong ok.lakewhutParticipantAAQ there are certainly shadchanim who’d rather put in the time to match couples from wealthy families – more gelt, more commission.
lakewhutParticipantCY are the moral standards a bit arbitrary?
lakewhutParticipantCY why can’t a hashgacha lead the way and tell people who are closed minded not to judge. If an employer doesn’t treat employees right will the establishment get a hechsher? The lines get blurred. There are often different demographics within a community.
lakewhutParticipantShmili it doesn’t mean you can’t take advice from more than one Rabbi. I think that’s the flaw with the chasidish world. Whenever one person says that’s what’s done or your in cherem.
lakewhutParticipantSo you only started to respect them when the corporate media told you to
lakewhutParticipantA lot of pundits we’re saying Hillary would win in Georgia and she didn’t. It isn’t just Trump.
lakewhutParticipantEfshar but the robots who are out of touch want DeSantis. We shouldn’t be taking their lead.
lakewhutParticipantRecognizing Jerusalem as the capital is supporting Israel which means Jews. Democrats not doing the same was because they support Palestinians who hate Jews. Democrats hide their antisemitism by hiding. Trump supported Jews with action. Obama a follower of reverend wright and Farrakhan didn’t pardon rubashkin when he could have because he doesn’t like Jews.
lakewhutParticipantHow many Democrats believe anti-zionism isn’t antisemitism? A great many Democrats are anti Israel but think they are a separate issue from hating Jews? Many progressives are allies with Islamists. Go to a university with a kippah and you’ll get harrased by such liberals.
lakewhutParticipantThe thing is the Reagan revolution was a populist movement vs the Bush/Rockefeller elite types. We need both but we need policies and but to respond to everything with “but it’s socialism” when we’re already a half socialist country. Democrats are smart. The promise big and give you a little to make it look like they’re helping. Republicans just try to obstruct.
lakewhutParticipantWhat if the Rabbi Doctor knows something a different Rabbi doesn’t? The Rambam was a doctor. His approach to Torah lasts til today
lakewhutParticipantYou can have more than one Rabbi.
lakewhutParticipantI’ve always had this question and it’s never been answered properly. I understand the importance of having a Rav but sometimes you have a circumstance which is different than the general rule. Sometimes the reasoning you get is political as well.
lakewhutParticipantA yid should know what depraved people are working for Biden. There’s more to politics besides for handouts.
lakewhutParticipantJackk because trans people are sick and the Democrats want them to dominate every space. Every Democrat supports same sex marriage that’s the difference. The federal government isn’t supposed to be involved in deciding marriages. It should be up to the states. This is Democrat big government fascism.
lakewhutParticipantSo?
lakewhutParticipantI must admit that the Sefer mentioned in the op is not the one I was thinking about. Indeed there is a Sefer Pshuto Shel Mikra by R Cooperman Ztl which has approval by R Weiss there is no ban for this Sefer. A number of years ago, the Leshem publishing company put out a Sefer, pirush on Chumash called Pshuto Shel Mikra which is under this ban. As it stands this Sefer of controversy is indeed alleged to not have legit haskamah.
lakewhutParticipantIt has a haskamah from a reputable Rav.
lakewhutParticipantRav Asher Weiss approved of it
lakewhutParticipantDoes the sefer have a haskamah?
lakewhutParticipantSefardim didn’t have a yeshiva system like there were in Europe. Porat Yosef was revolutionary for the sefardi world
lakewhutParticipantUJM yes but the people of Vietnam fought them with guerilla tactics. The US didn’t win. Vietnam is still a communist country. The US mission failed.
lakewhutParticipantOf course there have been Jewish individuals who were physically strong but by an large it’s not our main attribute. We just learned this past pasha that there’s a dynamic הקול קול יעקב ביד וידים ביד עשיו.
lakewhutParticipantYes. It’s an injustice that boys yeshivas don’t teach Hebrew. Yiddish isn’t the mama loshen anymore.
lakewhutParticipantWould they pull the hechsher if the owner doesn’t pay his workers fairly or cheats on his taxes? It shouldn’t be agenda based.
lakewhutParticipantThat’s supposed to be food wise not what something that goes against who the business sells to
