ZD,
The waste is not in the special education. The amount going to outside districts is not so much more than what it would cost to provide in the district and many times it is less. The public schools do not have the resources for many of these unfortunate children. You need to stop accepting the comments in LOHUD as anything approaching fact.
This was proven to you many times in the previous discussions.
Joseph happens to be correct, under an austerity budget there will be no increase in the tax. I know this because I saw the information mailed out by the board with the details of the new budget proposal and the results if the budget is again defeated.
“The two of you sound like some women – when you don’t like what you hear – you resort to personal attacks!”
Even “the pot calling the kettle black” does not fit this situation.
“I came to this thread, not to list all the cases which I know or heard about Hatzolah, but to defend EN.”
How interesting. I don’t believe you have written one positive word anywhere in this thread. Let alone in defense of EN.
Health – Much more than you!
All you know is CPR!fSo you are not saying what type of health professional you are. The only proof that you bring to the table is that you are arrogant, and that is a sign of being a health professional.
I never suggested I am a health professional. My comment about CPR was responsive to the suggestion that if everyone knew CPR there would be no reason for an ambulance corp. This was a suggestion by someone arrogantly referring to himself as a health professional. I would guess that you may be an HHA.
You are also self admittedly not practicing your so called profession, Hmmm…
You also apparently have a beef because Hatzolah did not admit you. Which does not in the least seem surprising.
You also want to run hatzolah for pay. An organization that has hundreds of people volunteering, but you are soooo good that you would demand pay.
Thank you for clearing yup for all of us why:
1) You are not in Hatzolah
2) Why you will not tell us what type of health professional you are.
3) Why you do not practice in the health field.
“Well, did the guy/gal live afterwards?!?”
What type of inane comment is this?
Even if everyone knew CPR, you will still need an ambulance Corp.
I have tKen and fact taught CPR and the first step was always to direct someone to call 911.
And knowing CPR is far less than an EMT, let alone a Paramedic trained in ALS.
And actually having performed CPR is much different than just taking a course.
Health,
Since you are asking to be challenged how about truthfully answering the following questions;
1) Just what type of health professional are you?
2) When have you last practiced at the health profession.
3) Why did hatzalah deny your membership?
I can only speak from personal experience and observation and I can say from those that Hatzolah has aced professionally, with great dedication and exceptional competence.
Sure there may be some politics, but that is any agency and that does not detract from the fantastic job they do.
There is a reason that when the police had an incident at the 70th precinct, the police called Hatzolah before city EMS.
Ubiq,
He is completely consistent in his disdain for Open Ortjodox in both instances. Who do you think was all up in arms about the Kushners, it was those self righteous phonies of the OO ilk.
Joseph,
Insurance premiums have skyrocketed since Obamacare was firs implemented and I know that the premiums on my plan have almost doubled in the last 6 years and the gross premiums have left $40,000 behind already. And that is with a decrease in the coverage. A plan with the same coverage would command premiums close to $60,000.
I understand meeting the pope to discus graves in Europe and I ma sure that is what was asked of Da’as Torah. I don’t understand singing “shiros vsishbachos” for the pope, certainly not the song selected.
I wonder if Da’as Torah was consulted about that.
I also don’t understand asking the pope about how to deal with children as risk and other similar situations seems to be beyond what would be recommended by Da’as Torah.These are well meaning people, but sometimes one has to wonder when people become so wrapped up that they can not take an objective look at their own actions.
ZD,
Your estimate cannot be correct.
In the ERCSD there are over 20,000 children in Yeshivas. That would show that there are quite a bite more than 19,800 Orthodox Jews in Monsey. (Even if you include NS in ERCSD).
The increase in Lakewood has got to be more than 10% over 7 years.
Ask any school in lakewood.
“At least there are tefilos in Aramaic, I.e.the kaddish. There are none in Yiddish. However, Yiddish has a lot of curse words; I don’t know of any in Aramaic”
There are many tefillos in Yiddish.
And that you do not know of something is far from being conclusive proof.

“The Mistake was made before the Mishnah Bruah”
And yet you know the applicability of Halacha better than the Chofetz Chaim.
That is why there are people lined up to ask you for Brochos and eitzos as well for your psaokim.
AK,
“Nisht, if you had scrolled a bit up you would have seen my post. Rav Moshe’s opinion on peanuts is in Iggrot Moshe, OC 3:63”
I know where the teshuva is, I have in fact read through it. But there are commenters who like to assert psakim in name of various poskim when it is clear that they have never opened the specific teshuva and only know about it from seeing comments on the internet.
And my point was proven.
ZD,
So if you were to look what Rav Moshe actually says, instead of just quoting what you read elsewhere on the internet, you would see that he says for those who have a minhag not to eat peanut because of kitniyos, for them it is ossur to eat peanuts.
So it is clear that he held it is not a minhag shtus for those who include peanuts in their minhag of kitniyos.
He does say that one can give a hasgocha on items containing peanuts and say on the package that it contains no items that are ossur, but it does contain peanuts.
Your recipe is a potato puff, it is not a bread.
“If you google “רב ליאור קטניות” you will see some good leniencies.”
There is something very wrong with Googling for kulos (or chumras for that matter, but I do not believe that the occurrence of such is anywhere in the realm of Googling for kulos).
As far as I know, Google never got semicha. Except perhaps from YCT, and that is utterly unreliable.
“Rav Moshe felt Peanuts were not Kitniyot (Movement is towards Peanuts being Kitniyot)”
ZD, and specifically ZD, can you tell us where Rav Moshe said this?
“Potatoes can also be turned into bread”
Every year it has been explained to you that Potato Bread is made with wheat flour. That is still regular chometz, you cannot say that it is muttar.
“Participant Coffee and Chocolate grow in trees, they do not grow anything close to a legume”
Your fantasy that legume is what defines something as kitniyos has been conclusively disproven more than once, why you keep harping that legume is the definition of kitniyos might be baffling to some.
(I am NOT saying that coffee or Chocolate are kitniyos, but your reason is not the reason)
APY,
If you read ZDs comment, he did not say to give their opinion “prominence”.
“Quinoa is not Kintiyot. it is not a legume its a berry”
I am glad that we have your psak, however there are real rabbonim who say that there may be reason to include quinoa in kitniyos. Ask your Rov.
But the distinction that you make, that kitniyos are solely legumes, is silly. Rice is not a legume, and everyone agrees that rice is included in the minhag. You love to comment that some consider potatoes kitniyos, yet potatoes are not legumes.
“The Army is about everyone being equal”
No, that is not true, the Army is about listening to the commands of those in command.
Command is clearly not equal, in most armies, the senior command does not get anywhere near the foxholes.
“When you are in the foxhole being shot at, the bullets dont care what you eat.”
So apparently someone does not believe In hashgocha pratis.

Whether you really have respect for R Shach has yet to be demonstrated. However, it seems you must have left a Sefer or two open at some point if you doesn’t know who the ש״ך is. The שפתי כהן is one of the classic נושא כלים that we pasken from.
And no one said forget “all” ones learning, rather it causes one to forget his learning. Any amount of it. Which it is אסור to do intentionally and the psak is that you cannot do action which can cause it.
Yekke2,
Thank you for defining what lesschumras calls “Bubba Maaseh”.
Wickliffe, Ohio.
Kirya”T” Tosh? Really?
The name of the town is Kiryas Tash
So I guess I was right. It did not sound like the lashon of the Rambam and it wasn’t.
I believe the Rambam says he sometimes quotes Aristotle.
קבל האמת מפי אומרו – רמב”ם
Can you tell me where the Rambam said this? It doesn’t sound like the lashon of the Rambam.

Joseph,
According to the 990 forms filed by the anti religious group, Uri ltzedek, his name is Shan Yankelowitz.
Unsurprisingly, the form is full of lies.
Back to the OP, about Sean’s ludicrous statements. That are not even his original idiocies. They were originally spouted by egalitarian rabbits.
What bothers these lunatics so much about Purim is that the nes of Purim was a nes done “b’hester” and seemed to many like regular teva. That is why that cannot handle the nes of Purim. These morons deny that there is hasgocha and that even what appear to be every day occurance include ?????.
That flies in the face of their whole system of disbelief in HKB”H. ????.
Avi,
By being intentionally obtuse and ignoring facts, you show that you know that your comments are baseless.
I will therefore not respond further to your silliness.
AK,
It was clearly not a lashon guzma, it was a clear psak that Goren’s psokim can not be relied on. Apparently even retroactively. These were not just signed by an individual, it was signed by gedolim and rabbonim across the board.
You are right that this is consistent with retroactive invalidation that you talk about now, that when someone uses bases for a psak, or as a reason to accept a ger, that is completely out of the realm of Halacha, it has to be protested in the strongest of terms and it has to be made clear that the (in these cases) the geirus never occurred.
A Geirus BD that never requires kabbolas mizvos, the only requirement being army service, is clearly beyond the pale and its geurus is invalid, never happened. Just like all these gedolim paskened by Goren, that his psokim were NEVER psokim.
That a psak, or a geirus, that is made solely for political reasons and has no basis in Halacha is not a psak or geirus and those who do so have proven that even their past psokim or geirus are unreliable and null and void.
Completely consistent.
ROB,
How can you say that “many people testified that he had not left his gentile ways” when not a single reliable, or even remotely believable, witness has been identified. (An army buddy of the Langer boy who married a non Jew and was totally irreligious has no neemanus in such a case. It was not even remotely meisiach lfi tumoi). In fact that statement had been conclusively disproven. (Joseph never called Borokowski a “Tzaddik Gomur” he said a share torah. Big difference).
And it is “your belief” that there was nothing unusual with Goren’s hetter, is soundly contradicted by every major Posek of the time.
So much so that if this were in time of Sanhedrin, he would likely be considered a ??? ????.
There have been disagreements over psokim in the past, but I hhave not heard the proclamations by all those same poskim say as a blanket statement that no psak of ( in this case Goren) can be relied upon. That is unusual. Go look at who made those proclamations.
It seems you accept the word of Moshe Dayan over R Shach, R Moshe, R Elyashiv, and R Shlomo Zalman, tthe Steipler, to name just a few in regards to this serious Halachic matter.
Ok. As long as it is clear.
You can go to the same JO issue referenced above and on pages 20 & 21 there is analysis of the bases provided by R Goren for his “hetter”.

“Team israel beat the Netherlands 4-2 with their Mascot, Mench on a Bench”
Wow, that must have been some sight.
I wonder if Mench on a Bench was hurt during the beating.
“1. His conversion would only be invalid if he was an apikoros at the time of his conversion.”
Not if the alleged bet din was the IRF, which the gerut bet din was headed an acknowledged apikoros.
Then there was no acceptable gerut, even if you were to assume that Sean has just recently changed to apikorsut. Which is what what I said earlier as well.
If Farber was the person who did the conversion, then it’s no question that the figure was deficient. And unless he just recently when off the deep end, his statements make it clear that he was not mekabel kol hatorah kulah as emes, so that is another deficiency.

What an inane thread.
Starts off with an assumption that is not based in reality. Certainly not if you are referring to chareidi yeshivas.
Everyone knows that anyone who learnt in Brisk wears a sweater. They all do. And when I was recently visiting Eretz Yisroel, I lead in the Mir and saw many bochurim and yungeleit wearing sweaters.
I guess it is +1 for silly people who think this really happens. (Sarcasm).
At least Fiddler has something that relates to Judaism.
Portnoy’s Complaint does not have that. You have not said what would make it “Jewish” literature. Sure a non Jew might call it that because it promotes a stereotype of Jews they would like portrayed, but that hardly makes it Jewish.
I fail to understand why anyone one frum would deem “Portnoy’s Complaint” to be Jewish literature.
Perhaps the Chosen can be called such because the story has something to do with Yiddishkeit. I vaguely remember the Chosen, I read it so many years ago.
I have heard that one of the reasons why Chasidim wear a heavy Atara on their Talis is because they wear “zeidene” (satin or silk) kapotes which were slippery. The heavy atara kept the Talis from slipping off.
There is a concept in Halacha that “sicha” is like “achila”. That is why there are people who are makpid not to use non-kosher products to apply to their body, such as ointments, oils, perfumes or make up and the like.
I have never heard that “levisha” being considered like “achila”. There is no reason to refrain from wearing objects from non kosher animals, while there is a reason to refrain from spreading animal products from non kosher animals on one’s body.

ZD,
You are a funny asking for sources. You have never provided sources for any of the statements you have asserted are in the Gemara or in Halacha. Never.
ZD,
was this comment “The Earth is not the center of the Universe, its not even the center of the Solar System ”
in response to
“The earth is the center of the universe for us.”?
Because you apparently completely misunderstood what that poster said. You did not read or understand that last 2 words of the sentence.
ZD,
The story with the Chazon Ish not looking at Ben-Gurion (taking off his glasses) is printed in a number of places.
Even your so called “printed source” which is just something on the internet by a completely unreliable source is conflicted by other reports on the internet.
I think what you really mean to say is that you would trust a secular, even anti religious source, apparently no matter how often that source has be shown to print gross inaccuracies and blatant lies, over Orthodox sources.
That is your prerogative. As it is our prerogative to decide how to interpret your reliance on those sources.
