Queen: Wolf answered that question for you the other day after you inquired:

Queen: We can accept submissions by you as well.
I try to spread the humor more widely.
Rabbi Avigdor Miller’s ten commandments of marriage
4) Never say the word get
Because the word was mentioned, from now on it has entered the realm of possibility. It should be unpardonable to say that word.
Torah613: There is a halachic school of thought that once a tenaim has been made the engagement should not be broken under any circumstances. Certainly not unilaterally and I think according to some shittas even mutually.
mordern: Even if that’s the case, the father and children still see each other and he has influence with his children.
That is absurd. Once you give up a shidduch prospect, in the vast majority of cases you gave it up for good. You generally can’t come back later, after having sampled other prospects and realized the earlier one was the best of the lot, and say gee you were pretty good – and sorry for breaking it off – can we get engaged?
Mammele, I believe the study actually did measure that. You could look at the study to see a breakdown of all its conclusions.
Rav Avigdor Miller, among other gedolim who made similar points, said that 99% of the divorces in the frum world could and should have been prevented as they were unnecessary.
CTL: Why were they discussing wedding plans before they even planned to get engaged?
Would you suggest a divorce if it was the mother who wasn’t as frum as the father and she was a bad influence on the children, mordern?
How does divorce help in that situation? The divorce is between the husband and wife; the divorce is not between the father (or mother) and children. The father (and mother) will still see and influence his children even if he’s divorced.
I believe that is only accepted by the Ⓞ (Open Orthodox).
The ® (Orthodox Rabbis) isn’t as accepted as the © (Orthodox Chachomim).
I get the sense some people don’t want to believe it, even if it is true that divorce has proven negative health consequences. Throw away the data cause I have an anecdote!
I skimmed through it. Though, note, I didn’t critique it based on my reading, I noted one of its conclusions. It’s a serious study by well qualified PhDs in their field so criticizing it based on a very short web forum summary isn’t fair.
Another point the study found, that I hadn’t mentioned, was that parental divorce while the kids were still children statistically has also been shown to lead to a shorter lifespan for the children of the divorcees.
Aside: the yated has been hocking about speed-dating. I fully agree that speed dating is problematic, as shown from this story.
Which story?
Folks having beshows effectively speed date with great results.
He was davening to be safe from the other drivers who were on their cellphones.
C’mon, that was paraphrasing a tiny snippet. You can’t make that comment without perusing the actual study which backs up its conclusion in much greater detail and proofs.
Brotherly love.
Looks should be #7 on your shidduch requirements, in rank of importance. #1 should start with middos followed by yiras shomayim, a bas talmid chochom/proper hashkafa, good brothers/family and the other more important requirements. If you do very well in the first six items then you can compromise on looks/#7.
Steadily married men — those who remained in long-term marriages — were likely to live to age 70 and beyond; fewer than one-third of divorced men were likely to live to 70; and men who never married outlived those who remarried and significantly outlived those who divorced — but they did not live as long as married men.

You’re funny old man. A comment ago you admitted your source was the yellow journalism in the Hebrew websites. And now that you were called to the carpet on the untruths of your presentation, those yellow journalists are suddenly “Torah-true sources” when you have no other leg to stand on. Uch un vey to anyone whose Torah is political websites. Now you “don’t know or care what the Mir Yeshiva feeds its’ talmidim” but just a couple comments back you were making absolute claims what they feed them. Oh what a difference just a few hours makes with your “truths”.
No, old man, you’ve been rightfully censored on this site before when you’ve engaged in your misinformation campaigns and you’re now again demonstrating how this is a repeated issue with you. As ndg pointed out above, there was an internal shaila whether a certain procedure was appropriate. It was quickly answered and resolved. Of course that didn’t stop the purveyors of yellow journalism from hawking a story for pageview shekels.
squeak: Who amongst the four remaining candidates would you hope secures the Republican nomination?
Am I chopped liver here?
And where, pray tell, are you on this thread??
old man: I contacted a talmid and a magid shiur in the Mir today and both told me that fleishigs was served this evening, including chicken, that is (only) under the Eidah’s hashgacha. I don’t know if you’re intentionally spreading misinformation or you’re misinformed but either way consider yourself corrected.
My shitta is one should make every effort to pull over in a safe location, exit the vehicle, and daven like a mentch with the proper kavava.
“Dogs don’t persecute people, other people do”
You sound like a guns rights activist.
Typically when someone “donates” a Sefer Torah to a shul, with an hachnosos Sefer Torah and all, is the Torah owned by the shul or by the sponsor? If the latter, that would seemingly mean most shuls don’t own their own Sifrei Torah. Do folks takes their Sefer with them when they move or even just change shuls?
CTL: What’s your hourly rate?
Popa – see your own response; second post on the linked thread.
As far as a yarmulka is concerned, if you wear a large enough yarmulka it won’t blow off.
All my rebbeim taught me that a Yid on the street should always have a hat on his head.
Also realize that specific hechsheirim that were good years ago might be less so today. Or vice versa. Speaking generally.
The Chofetz Chaim’s name was never Poupko. One of his sons took that name, but it was never used by the Chofetz Chaim or his ancestors.
I would vote for Trump over Clinton without doubt, but I think there are enough people thinking like DY to insure a Clinton victory.
My estimation of Trump vs. Clinton is a range of somewhere between a Clinton landslide to a bare Clinton win.
Who added you to the WhatsApp group 42 times?
Related to answering question ‘b’ is consideration of the loss of a percentage of traditional Republican voters if Trump is nominated.
squeak: two sincere questions…
a. Is Trump your preferred candidate, from those running, that you intend to vote for?
b. What would you say the likelihood is of Trump prevailing over Clinton in the general election?
If you don’t wish to address ‘a’, at least ‘b’.
nfgo3: Your last contemptible comment on your beliefs about marriage clearly indicates you believe that polygamy should be legal. So why do you not say as much or otherwise admit to your hypocrisy?
Seltzer, preferably, since it’s usually the most convenient.
There’s a big difference between a Rov selectively using certain OU products that he researched and verified meets his proper kashrus standards and requirements to use as ingredients in food products he certifies as kosher – or advises his adherents they are permitted to consume specific OU products, than saying that there is blanket permission to eat any and all OU products.
You’re supposed to decline accepting the amud three times before agreeing to it.
Poor wife. BD”E
I believe it costs more for a smaller Sefer Torah than a larger one.
Why is it necessary to be seen from the rear seats?
You’ll end up giving cumulatively less if there was only one organization asking you for a donation rather than five asking.
