There is a night Seder program that is held in a number of shuls, Rabbi Daniel Osher Kleinman’s shul being just one, that will help you find a chavrusa.
Huju,
FYI, nowhere did UJM mention NYC.
Even in NYC, walking from one avenue to the next is almost 1,000 feet. there are about 6 blocks to the mile.
You are perhaps as factual as CNN or MNBC or Nancy Pelosi.
Dorah,
If you want to know which statement is borderline apikorsus, it is this one “Assuming we stipulate that “everything that happens in the world is controlled by Hashem”:.
Writing this as “assuming” is at a minimum borderline apikorsus, if not the full blown version.
I am not sure why we are complaining about GOP associated anti-semites not being discussed as a news item on YWN, when clearly there are liberal ones regularly posting in these forums.
It seems the simple and correct answer is that they are banned for foodservice . Which is not home use.
Let’s not forget that one of the posters here is a radical leftist liberal who, as is typical for that group, ascribes statements to people that were never made nor even intimated.
Er,
The clear takeaway is that you align yourself with the squad.
As bad as any of the most vile bigots who you think are aligned with the “right”. Yet these are the leading arm of the democrat party.
Er,
The Democrats of late have not been supportive of religion or teligious rights, to put it mildly. Need I remind you of Democratic leadership in NY?
And that is very much the direction of liberals as a whole. Look at how they attacked ACB because she is religious.
The left leaning anti Israel and anti semites very much voted for Biden and his party because of those beliefs, that religion is something to be scorned. And intersectionality makes Palestinians preferable to Israeli’s.
Look at the actions of the most vocal in the Democratic Party now, the unholy squad.
I don not support everything Trump said, says, did or does, but he is not an anti semite. Words that are ascribed to him that might have drawn hateful people towards him were intentional misrepresentations ( in other words, bold faced lies)by MSM and the Democrats. You know the whole there are good people on both sides fiasco.
Dorah,
It was your comment that was lacking symmetry. You clearly negated the husband’s expectation of respect.
My post explicitly said “Just as a wife is owed respect”. And that was added because I expected you to harp on something that was not the point of the comment.
The corrupt radical feminist agenda you ascribe to seems too inform to many of your screeds.
Huju,
Can you explain why so many rabid anti-semites support Biden, Harris, Clinton etc.. (Apparently for Obama, you don’t need an answer to understand).
If actions speak louder than words, then try to reconcile your comment about who are the true anti-semites. If you are willing to be honest in your assessment.
I do not know details, but I can tell you that Putin did not pull this while Trump was president. And who knows what type of deals old and young Biden had in Ukraine.
Dorah,
Spoken like a feminist, which is obvious from your selected nom de plume.
“Respect is EARNED, not a default position”.
Presumably a husband earned some modicum of respect when his wife agreed to married him. Just as a wife is owed respect by din of being a spouse, before having to EARN additional respect.
Feminism, as evidenced by your ludicrous comment above, has done away with assuming that a husband is entitled to basic respect just by dint of being a person, and a person who is in a spousal relationship.

RE,
Unfortunately the attitude of Amei Haaretz has not changed to the better.
I think it is readily evident.

DO you have something against the many talmidei chachomim who live in West Palm Beach?
From your posts, I would doubt you wouldn’t know the difference between an Am Haaretz and a Talmid Chochom if it bit you on the nose. FYI, googling something does not remove the Am Ha’aretz title.
Huju,
1) Full of bull is not describing someone as an animal
2) Ham Actor is not referring to an animal
3) Udder fool? really? I think this is from an utter fool.CS,
Do you know how the gemara defines and Am Haaretz?
Have you seen the attitude of am hoaratzim? I don’t believe you could find one with emunah peshutah.
The gemarah when describing which is better, uses mamzer and not am haaretz. That should tell you something.
I left my house and made the bus.
I walked to shul and did not trip.
I can go on and on.

GH,
I don’t think you know what time hanetz is now. The very fast minyan in my neighborhood davens much before hanetz, in fact there are times they wait at yishtabach for mishayakir.
SYAG,
It is not so irrelevant. A goyish kup would say its “karma”.
But more seriously, the fact that the three people who were shot have violent pasts presents a strong likelihood that their threats and the way those threats were presented were more likely to have seemed like real immediate threats to the life of Mr. Rittenhouse.
There is a very big difference between someone who just yells “I am going to kill you” vs some yelling that who has actually attempted to kill people or actually caused people serious bodily harm. And that difference and the follow up actions would be perceived by the person being threatened even if they were unaware of the attacker’s violent/criminal past. We all have seen actions and said “stay away, that person is dangerous”.
Even the prosecutor presumably would agree with this, because he averred that just playing a video game is indicative of a person who would readily cause harm. Al achas camah vcamah for someone who has actually attached real human beings. (Rosenbaum’s mental issues even exacerbated this. Mental illness “may” be an excuse regarding being found guilty, but in no way will it make his threats less threating, quite the opposite)
“Read the room”?
There is a reason why halacha is to let the availim start the conversation. You are not going on a marketing visit, that you should need to read the room.
GH,
I would refer to my comment above, where I talk about being defined as Choshuv by bnei torah.
I doubt someone who is completely clueless about how two brothers marrying two sisters applies to Maseches Yevamos could possibly be construed as a ben torah. Vda”l.
Noodles,
Really? GH continuously makes false allegations about and denigrates bnei torah, talmidei chachomim and upright people, and calling him on his lies is the problem?
Really, Reb Shimon, think this one through.
GH,
You are an out and out liar. I do not for a moment believe you have seen any of the following occur by people bnei torah call chashuv. Perhaps people of your ilk, who you might consider choshuv (you even call yourself a Gadol! And you are clearly the furthest from that.)
“I have been to levayahs where the hesped is more about the person giving the hesped than the niftar, shidduchin where the mesader kidushin stumbles over the brachos because he was “mesamach” choson v’kallah before the festivities officially began.”
What is Nuchem Availim?
I would think that it is in good part because of a chashash of Chatzizah. Just as many sephardic women were makpid to shave hair as well.
AAQ,
“Give the guys their due – they figured out that it is easier to travel on Yom Kippur than on Sukkos. Drilling holes was not approved. You can say that cold temperature outside is enough of an exemption.
On the other hand, if the whole capsule lives for less than a week, can it qualify as a temporary dwelling?”While find that a yoitze laderech is patur from Succah, we find no such heter for yom kippur. , you really need to ask better questions.
Dor Haflaga,
“I also note that at the same time we are having this exchange, segments of the frum media are running stories with photos of a former chazar-eating, mechallel shabbos, yarmulkaless politician current being tried for felonies showing up at the kosel with a kipah for kol nidre as if this was some big kiddush hashem (since he was NOT also smoking one of the expensive cigars he was accused of having illegally accepted).”
I am unfamiliar with the story you are referring to, I am pretty sure that a good part of it is fabricated. Even if it was reported, that does not mean it was reported as a kidduch hashem.
However, someone going to daven us a kiddush hashem, regardless of his other shortcomings.
Being mechallel yom kippur befarhesia is a chillul hashem, regardles if the person is a billionaire. And glorifying it as you you continue to do, is also a prime example of a chilul hashem.
A limud zchus is that the gemara brings amoraim that said what would be considered for them a chilul hashem would be even a slight matter, because they are looked up to. I think you may gat a slight slide on your comments because the contrary is true with you.
Shouldn’t be too hard for you to google the kosher market there. There is a whole Jewish community. I’ve been to the Pizza Store.

AAQ,
You say that if people are making less than $60 an hour, they should do their own oil changes. Especially if they are learning in kollel. Because an oil change costs $60.
For someone who “always ask questions” you did consider some very simple ones that show the fallacy of your comment.
1) How much does the oil cost, (Actually, about $23 for 5 quarts now)
2) How much does the oil filter costs (Cheapest is $4.50, better are about 8.50)
3) How much do the tools for doing an oil and filter change cost (considering that a person would typically need maybe 2-3 oil changes a year)(Wrench, funnels, oil filter wrench, oil drip pan)
4) Where I live, the oil change places include a car wash in the price, that is worth a few dollars
5) What about the hassle of disposing the used oil and filter
6) There is a cost to purchasing the other fluids that get topped off at an oil change
7)The amortized cost of clothing that you can wear when doing an oil change. You don’t expect a kollel person to do so in his white shirt and dress pants. And more casual clothing is not suited for that either. Perhaps the clothing you are used to wearing might be more suited.
By the time you add that up, the savings for doing an oil change by one’s self really is very small if at all and likely does not exist.Additionally, it often takes significantly more time to do an oil change at home (including the associated clean up) that going to a quick change place. This is time that many Yungeleit do not have. They are busy shopping, or with kids during bein hasedorim and evening hours as well. Neither do they have off on Sundays. And many people do not have a place they can just do an oil change. It is not wise to do so on a public street, and not all driveways are suited for that as well. And if oil spills during the change on the drive way, its a huge hassle.
I have a relative who is a regular yeshivish person. He did his own oil changes. But he was driving between 1,500 and 2,000 miles a week for his job. For him it was a savings. But most people, it costs more do a change your self, if you add up the actual costs. (And if you have an issue with car, you may have an issue proving oil changes done your self, but if you go to the same place you can get a history of oil changes, to protect your claims, but you go buy the extended warranties we all get calls about)
Joey Newcomb has a song called niggun nechoma
Avi K.
“As for the topic of that debate, perhaps the team should have entered and given the Torah view. As for the opposing point of view, they are going to eventually encounter it. ”
I think your response was the most significant point in Avirah’s comment. A matter that is a clear issur d’oraisa is not something that should be considered a matter of debate in a orthodox Jewish school. A debate suggests that there are two legitimate sides to the matter. Dah mah lehashiv is not that it is a matter of debate.
Additionally I believe Avirah’s comment about honesty was not that he felt it is not important. His point was that this was used as an excuse to not address an elephant in the room. The people there felt smug, the Rabbi can speak about honesty because we all think we are honest. But heaven forfend he should talk about same sex marriages, because his crowd would find that threatening. Or perhaps not woke.
Asd far as your comment about demonization, I think there is more than a little of the pot calling the kettle black.
What is defined as anti- MO on the forums, for the most part is not directed at center or right leaning MO as much as those who are way off to the left on the way to or including those who once called themselves (or to use their language, “identified as”) “Open” orthodox. This does not need more explanation.
For an organization to provide a kashrus certification, there needs to be a level in trust for the kashrus organizations procedures to be effective.
I guess, quite reasonably, that an entity that adopts anti-semitic policies likely would negate that level of trust.
UJM,
Motcha’s comment remains. Your comment makes no sense.
KetanahBemunah,
I am sure you find your comment amusing. I suspect you think that those involved in hashgocha should not be paid for their expertise. Nor should someone who tests for shatnez. Because that only a Frumie thing.
While neither item relates to the cost of uniforms. As mentioned above by Syag, there weren’t the economies of scale to lower the prices. Which is very different from what RE said.
Jackk,
Why are you more of an apologist for BidenHarris than anyone on these boards have been for Trump? BodenHarris have consistently shown themselves to be much worse for Jewish causes, Jews and Israel than the previous administration. Possibly even worse tahn teh Osama administration.
How can anyone call thenmselves rational when suggesting that internet postings are less likely to affect people lives when posting “stories” without having to prove anything, than pashkevilin.
Must be a sarcastic description.
History Buff.
I believe it was in 1978. The protest was that they wanted the police in their neighborhood. The BLM movement is to get police out almost entirely.
Seems a bit different.
Huju,
Mr. Bush was waiving a hammer, but he was not immediately next to some one. This girl was literally leaning on another girl swinging a knife at her.
The cases are hardly the same.
But you prefer that a Jew is killed apparently.
Mr. Sheker,
You say “Ronald Reagan was President from 1981-1989 in that time, murders in NYC went from 2,228 in 1980 to 2,246 in 1989.
George HW Bush was president from 1989-1993 which during that time murders reached their high of 2,605 in 1990 and in 1993 was at 2,420.
Bill Clinton was president from 1993-2001 which saw in 2001 the murders decline to 960.”
Why dont you put in who was the mayor of NYC then? Because mayors have a lot more to do with policing indiviual cities than do the President?
Hint, murders were at abn all time high during the Dinkins years. Hardly a conservative.
They started a rapid decline with Gulianin, hardly a liberal.Bloomberg was no liberla when he started office, and his policing policies were certainly not liberal.
Look where crimes against people have been going since DeBlasio has been mayor. The streets in NYC are scary again.
Who likes irony?
Today Chuck edited Schumer annouces that today is a holiday because the federal governmaent is going legalize marijuana. Yesterday Biden said he was going to ban methol cigarettes and limit others.Smoking is great when it addles the mind?
Is it irony, or is liberalsm spelled h-y-p-o-c-r-i-s-y?
Mr. Sheker,
The trend to extend abortion at will up to the time of birth, and beyond (yes, those are the words of your blackface wearing, Ralph Northam) is a key platform of the Democrat party. That is out an out murder.
In addition, the bigoted policy of equity and critical race theory are supported and promoted by the Democrat party as a whole. I frankly do not understand how those are different from the worst white supremacist except as to who the target is. And that it is supported wholeheartedly by the political party in charge.
Further the liberals actively limit the civil rights of people, not least amongst them the right to freely practice religion.
Without saying eithe side is like the Torah, i would like to make a few small observations.
1) The hot topic now of “equity” is very, very far removed from equality. One might even say it is the complete opposite.
2) Repulicans are not more selfish than democrats. certainly not the left leaning that fall into communism. Conservatism is not selfish, nor is liberalism being generous. And generosity withothers resources iss actually selfish.
3) What is going on in society these days scarily veers into what Chazal describe as occuring in the dor hamabul which led to hineni mashisum. And into the actions of the Shiva Ammamim.
4) The sheva Mitzvos include setting up courts and clearly include capital punishment, which does not seems to follow the dinim of sanhedrin. R Moshe ZT’L has a letter to Governor Coumo about Capital Punishment. Read that before making your comments here.
Shooeey,
The notice was posted on multiple “drum” websites. ( I agree with your hesitation to call any website frum).
In addition I received emails about this from a number of shuls and it was announced in shul.
This was communicated openly and widely.
On the news this morning they mentioned the process for the impeachment, but the politicians now say it will take time. This is not something that should be rushed and Cuomo is entitled to due process.
I whole heartedly agree with due process, but why did these same peopel rush to two impeachment hearings with Trump? Without evidence for the most part, very rushed, and clearly without any due process. Only entrenched democrats are entitled to due process? And it would seem that Andy has ben this way since his father was in office, he was the enforcer.
How does that play to any of the mionorities that feel they are denied due process, or to any of the regular people who are not entrenched demorcrat politicians?
“The same goes for Cuomo, they care more his nursing home scandal and his terrible Covid policies than his personal life.”
Abusing and harrasing the people who work for him as governor is hardly his personal life. And threatening people who disagree with him that “he will run them” is not a matter of personal life. It is abuse of power. He was elected to serve the people. Not to make peole serve him. (Though the leftist democrat party has slid headlong into communist russian tactics. and we know which posters are strongly in favor of that)
“I challenge you to cite a post, here or anywhere, that backs up your claim on this issue.”
Actually, you would have to show us posts of yours ssupporting Kavanaugh in spite of teh claim against him, all of which were specious and championed by the low life leftists radicals you are so enamored of.
No body says Trump was a tzaddik, but the claims against Cuomo are much worse. They are of him abusing his power as an elected official. They are of him sending seniors to their death by fiat and lying about it so he can satisfy his ego and make money of his book. Neither are things Trump has done while in office.
Reb Eliezer,
There were no claims of Trump abusing women as president. Huge difference. People get impeached for what they do while in office.
I think the biggest problem is that someone would look on line for the answer to a halachic shaila.
Reb E,
I am guessing you haven’t been learning daf yomi.
As Beneepraom noted it’s a korbon that was brought so the pesach can been eaten “al hasova”
There is a machlokes of all the Halachos of the korbon pesach apply to it. But it is not docha shabbos as is the pesach itself.
Benephraim, it is a zecher. It’s not the korbon itself. Where do you find that you get rid of a zecher on shabbos.
