yytz no. You don’t know what a Litvak is.
There arent a lot of Litvishe people in America. It’s just a label used by Chasidim.
I’m sure Rav Hirsch learned the Rama. He learned secular studies.
Those who don’t wear hats aren’t the Litvish HMon Am
אתה בחרתנו מכל העמים
Does it matter if you aren’t going to a private college? Education is a joke, these days.
Too much dependence on Internet
You should pay more taxes. If you can pay it, then you’ve made it.
CTL should switch his law firm to an S Corp and be exempt from SE tax.
Israeli Yid state taxes were a big portion of people who itemized in blue states. CT has high property taxes.
Democrats made your taxes high. Vote to lower state tax.
CTL maybe that’s your punishment for voting Dem – enemies of the Jews
You can afford it either way
Lit real Chasidim do. Even professionals.
Move to a lower tax state.
It helped me
K-cup I think the ones he sees in the restaurants.
Just because a yeshivish person looks serious, doesn’t mean that he’s unhappy.
YCT shouldn’t exist.
In some places, modern people cause problems for Yeshivas.
Well, it’s not like a shtetl where a corrupt askan can throw him out. He won the 2016 election m that’s why he’s president.
One school isn’t good for everybody. There are out of towers who intermarry. Nothing is perfect.
Jews were more traditional, but there were a lot of ignorant Jews. There were periods of messianic Jews. Jews in Germany were more assimilated than Jews who lived in ghettos in the pale of settlement – parts of present day Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Lithuania. Even the Jews who were Maskilim or hellinists didn’t imtermarry at a high rate, if at all. In Germany, France, England, intermarriage was more common.
Akuperma, nice diversion.
Neville there are a lot of people who think that kosher means that the food was blessed by a rabbi. I’ve heard people use that.
For some, their first BH home is very hard to recover from, when they return to EY. New goyish music playing in the car, old friends ask to go to movies, sports games. Some old friends could be into worse things. I’m not going to say what to do, but OP has legitimate concerns.
Not many have the experience of being in EY for Pesach. If you can find meals, go for it. There’s a lot to see in EY. Take advantage by going to places you’ve never been.
Make sure to have a schedule. Being bored isn’t good. A commitment to make minyan everu day and learn after davening should be made.
Meno, yes it is. It is both.
Whether they intend to or not, a certification is an advertisement of its product. End of story.
Because of this, I googled the company. They certify flavors that have pretty offensive names. They could easily use that as a reason not to certify them. Then again, OU is a MO organization.
There’s no requirement for the OU to certify anyone. A halal agency would get away with not certifying something like that. But the liberal Dem Jews would be first in line to smear the OU. The OU shouldn’t give the hashgacha and every rav should back that up.
North Korea
Read making of a godol?
How can you forget Rav Gifter and Rav Scheinberg
Is YU Orthodox?
They do but it’s hard to give up the lexus and house in the suburbs. Some think being a Zionist means you hang a flag in your Shul.
Lerntmin it alresdy started before the war. YCB and YOB are over 100 years old.
What did you mean by “I am a Commissioner of the Superior Court in CT.” ?
CTL yes you are Because if it came down to it you’d have to support abortion in a court of law
ZSK wrong. He means people whose families lived in the middle east but not from Spain.
I want to eat nikkar meat
jackk take some fish oil supplements.
Do you not know?
CTLawyer that makes it even worse. You’re part of a force that allows abortion. “Settled law” doesn’t change the issue. You’re an example why Jews shouldn’t be lawyers.
Nowadays, it is needed for bochurim aged 19-20. A few bad apples can turn a yeshiva into a drug rehab.
How do you get to marry rich, if you aren’t?
The democrat party is worse for us in 2019. We shouldn’t be endorsing people like Cuomo or We Blasio.
Not all Jews put their focus on a rebbe.
It’s 2017. Get over it. Israel is a state. Move on. If you love the PA so much, move to the west bank.
