So you are retracting your comment of earlier
“If someone is happy in their life and marriage, they are not looking elsewhere for satisfaction”
Ok. Fine, that is where I was getting. That your comment is not even close to the rule.
The fact is someone can stray even if they have a perfectly happy marriage. And the wise thing to do is to avoid things that can cause straying.
I am not saying facebook will always cause straying or even does so a significant amount of the time, however one can never be sure (not my words, its the gemara’s words) and it is therefore samrt to be cautious.
He says that it is a sympton (sic). I do not want to be considered his sympton.
Zdad,
please don’t. I would not want you to involve me in any way as the cause of your problems. Nor as a sympton.
ZDAD,
So we are safe to assume then that you are not happy in your life and marriage?
Because you seem to frequent the coffee room for social interaction.
Less,
I am sorry to hear that you grew up in a terribly abusive environment,but you can hardly infer that your situation is the norm.
However, you have all naysayers about the shidduch system who say that people met on their own back then and therefore they chose more suited mates. Quite the contrary to what you are avering.
You have to make up your mind.
As an aside, there is no question that frequenting social media can certainly affect even a healthy relationship. When one statrts sharing all sorts of personal stuff with others, it can lead to devoloping relationships that can harm an exisiting healthy relationship.
And Facebook is all about that, sharing stuff and then interacting. Do you really think that intercating so cannot poosibly lead to relationships where there shouldn’t be?
How else does one build a realtionship if not through sharing and social media encourages sharing well beyond what used to be typical. And may lead to having one’s guard down.
It is not just “symptons”, it can actually be the cause.
ZD,
What is the point of your story?
And it would seem that you do not know the story first hand, since you do not even know if the person who was publicly flaunting that they practice a perverted lifestyle was a male or a female.
I notice that that there was no allegation that the pervert was denied service. So it does not appear that anything illegal was done.
The pervert proudly proclaimed that he/she was disgusting and the person who noted it responded in kind that they are in fact disgusting.
What were you trying to say?
waze
onyourway (one word)
Just because you say it, doesn’t mean it exists.
Between Kings highway and the Belt is quite a stretch. You would have to be more specific than that.
Zd,
It’s been a little while since I’ve cruised the whole Coney Island ave. however I do not recall any Jewish girls schools on CIA. Something seems fishy.
You can try calling Kars 4 Kids.
Even if they don’t take this, you will get to hear a great song while on hold.
But they do accept more than just cars.
Less,
But Brooklyn is not Eastern Suffolk where the large accumulations were. Is is several hours drive away. But you knew that. You just were trying to infer that there was 30 inches in Brooklyn and there was nothing if the sort.
Am I the only one rolling from laughter about someone asking advice anonymously on a web site about whether one should seek advice anonymously on a web site?
Worthy of pba.
Zd,
Which gedolim? Please name and cite references.
Besides, your comment makes no sense, how will making Sunday a day off change what the chilonim will so on Shabbos? Going to work does not seem better than what they are doing now.
It willhowever make working even more difficult for religious people. If the day of rest, the day off, is not Shabbos. I am sure that there will be chilonim who will use this as another reason not to hire religious Jews. And I am sure you will defend them as well.
I tried it with a rebate check. You know the ones that come as a post card. Apparently there is a limit to the size of the check you can deposit via the app. Anyhow, I snapped the picture and instead of reading the $4.50 amount, it read the serial number and said 16,436,675,223.45 is too large to deposit.
So there went that.
Based on what I have seen? More than $5. Certainly not the average. My experience is that you are off at least 500%.
The price was, as I said, $92 per hour in NYC. Plus a tip, still not so much.
Anyway, $5 is that what you figure? I see that your 500% error rate remain consistent.
Dunno,
A simple google search shows that the rate for a 8 passanger stretch limo is $92 while a 9 passenger van is $84.
SO ZDAD was off by a factor of more than 500%. Par for the course.
And I would think that the $8 an hour for safety (A little more if you add in the tip) is probably worth it.
My statement was based on A) Reason and B) Query, so it was not an assumption at all.
squeak,
It is a pretty big assumption that you are making, that only you spoke to a knowledgeable person. While you say you spoke to a mumcha, I think it is more than just likely that Oorah spoke to a rov and a dayan, not just a squeak defined mumche.
Anoying1:
I have been on the minyan bus and other buses as well. I think I can identify you. There are several people who have little self esteem and seem to blame their misery on others. Anyone who travels these buses regularly knows exactly which passengers I am referring to. Thank you for describing yourself.
My experience is that at least as many women have double seats as men do.
You don’t like the bus that stops (And there is only 1) Take another, that has been the longest running route of the company. Which is a 6:40AM bus. You can hardly call those people lazy, they are on their way way before netz a goodly portion of the year.
I am calling you out precisely because I have been on those buses a number of time and it is clear that you are manufacturing “facts”.
Dunno,
Your assertion was sufficiently dealt with above and I quote;
“These drivers have experience driving much more rowdy groups. (Think proms). It is actually responsible to use such an experienced professional driver. The slight incremental cost is worthwhile for safety.”
According to your logice they should go to a rent a wreck and get the cheapst shmattah car available. Who cares if the tires are bald and the breaks are soft. Turn signal are an unneccesary luxury and headlights, why those just waste gas.
Yungerman,
I did not address his comments because they were so far from anything resembling facts that there was no point. It would have meant rewriting his whole comment.
As a matter of point, I have a lot of experience with not for profits. I am commenting from my experience with not for profits.
As far as costs, zdog mentions 500 an hour. It’s an assumption that like so many of his, has no basis in reality and is easily ascertainable.
You will find that it not not so much more than the cost of renting a van with a driver from a reputable service. These drivers have experience driving much more rowdy groups. (Think proms). It is actually responsible to use such an experienced professional driver. The slight incremental cost is worthwhile for safety.
But it is irrelevant. Zdad is just looking for a reason to use when he does not give.
T613,
So, as you yourself have admitted, you are clueless about the issue being discussed here.
The women are not relegated to the back of the bus on minyan busses.
Zdad,
Have you ever looked a 990? Would you even know what it says? Have you ever seen the financial statements of a not for profit entity?
I have. And more than just a couple. It is clear that you are just spouting nonsense. I guarantee that I know more about not for profits than you do.
You have no clue at all. That is clear from your comments.
ZDAD,
Like I said, it makes no difference to you. You are not in charge of the moisad collecting nor will you be contributing anything.
And I wonder where you get your 50% figure from. It’s not a number I have seen, nor is it close to any accepted standard. This statement of yours proves that you asking the question is pointless.
Zdad,
What is it to you? There is no logical reason why it should make a difference to you.
T613,
What are you talking about? I have had the occasion to be on a minyan bus on more than one occasion as well as when there was no davening on the same bus line. The women are not at the back of the bus at all. (Unless they walk there themselves).
In fact, from my experience it is clear that almost no one commenting here has been on the minyan busses. And that the poor attitude described by anon1 is his own.
ZD,
You are wrong yet once again. There was a whole magazine Klal Perspectives, recently about kiruv and the consensus was that they cannot tabulate the number of Ba’alei Teshuvah and there is no point in doing so. On the contrary, we hear all sorts of numbers of people going of the derech. Some of which I believe you yourself conjured on some of the other threads here.
Rashi to Shemos 19:3
???? ????. ??? ?????
Someone here is a never ending font of incorrect and/or irrelevant information.
ZD,
And you will only eat Twizzlers with that Hashgocha. After he is mashtin on them.
Morahrach,
You say “What is the evidence that it didn’t occur?” If that is your stance, then you too are guilty. Where is the evidence that you have not molested someone.
The real and correct answer is that no Chassidic movement requires one to grow a beard.
You can ask another question about which allow cutting off a beard. Which is something else entirely.
ZD make up your mind. Simchas, smichas or semichas?
ZD,
I know quite a few people form there who got married very shortly after they started going out. Why do you say it takes long to get simchas from them?
And does the the yeshiva itself produce simchas?
ZD,
What does “It make landfall around Atlantic City.”(sic) have to do with the topic at hand?
ZD,
How did Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim get roped into a discussion about chasidim with beards?
Yeshvas in the US are private enterprises and if they feel that they will not be able to service a certain child, should they be forced to accept them? Or what about when the parents will attempt to undo what ever the schools are trying to teach? You think the school would be wise to accept this child.
As far as Friedman, the school has a simple eitzah, they can show that the results of academic testing show his children lag far behind and plcae them in grades 4 or 5 years younger.

“I said Touro is another 4 years of High School where people insult and speak to one another in condescending tone of voice”.
Did you go to Touro? Or is this a typical case of “oif der ganev brent di huttel”?
Oh, and anecdotally, where I work there are Touro graduates as well as Ivy League graduates including several with PhD’s. And a number of the Touro Graduates have higher positions and make more.
Not a heimishe place.

Where does this attitude from – Gaivah?
And btw, I’ve experienced this attitude many times before.
No one could have said it better.
147,
So you say whole hallel in honor of “the day” on December 25th? Like you do ion Yom Hatzmaut and Yom Yerushalayim? I can see the congruence.
Do you trim a bush for all three as well?
Banana.
Health,
Your latest comments makes as much sense as most of your other comments. None.
And, there is nothing you have ever said here that would give me, or anyone else, reason to believe that you portrayed an accurate picture of events. Your many other comments show you have quite a skewed sense of reality, to put it kindly.
You really should not howl every time you see the cheese.
From what I understand, and I may be wrong, the Jewish area is only a stop or two away from the airport.
Does anyone have a clue what this story allegedly is? Has anyone heard it anywhere else.
I wonder if the reason you won’t find this anywhere else is because it didn’t happen.
So you would want to translate the Chasam Sofer’s dictum to mean that Torah is osur min haTorah. I can see that certain groups feel that way.
Really,
So that’s your answer? I guess it was another one of your assumptions that only made it a third of the way through the assumption.
Ada,
Now you are an expert and know what caused it? Because e perta all over say tht the exposure to violence is what causes this. Sure his mother took to shooting range, but that is shooting at targets. However the movies and video games glorify mass shooting and insane violence.
Your comment would make sense only if he never way he’d never watched violent movies or played video games. Have you verified that? And how?
And it would be wonderful for discipline as well. You know how the cops show their gun when dealing with someone unruly.
Syag-
I will preface this with saying that I do not know what happened. However you say
“there was evidence. Children who aren’t abused cannot make up stories and keep them straight under such cross examination”
1) Kids make up stories all the time and if it is a fantasy, they can see it in front of them. Think of kids who have imaginary friends.
2) The point is moot, because the girl is now 18, hardly a child.
3) Your point might have some basis if the story was about something the child would normally have no idea about. This girl apparently was sexually active with a boy friend of whicch there apparently was indisputable evidence. Accordingly this is not stuff that she would have difficulty transferring to someone else.
Just because she said a story is not proof. I do not know if it is true, but proof it is not.
And your argument about what is in the letter being proof about Weberman’s guilt is about the most convoluted attempt at reason I have seen here, and that includes quite a few lulus.
