Somebody has off-CR info….
doniel: Angel is as chashuv as they come
If by they, you mean the conservative jews, that is very possible. I’m not personally in the habit of ranking their chashivus, and I’m not sure what the criteria would be, but I’m sure there is a way to do so.
But, I’m sure he doesn’t hold a candle to Saul Lieberman (who by the way, wrote a teshuva ????-ing the stuff that Weiss does, so they aren’t even conservative–they are left wing conservative. hee hee)
Doniel: You just keep on convincing yourself.
Look, if you want to rely on Angel, go ahead. Everyone can do their own thing, and I don’t really care one way or another.
But a chacham has einav b’rosho. That is, you should be aware that orthodox jews may not accept his geirus.
Also, for the record, I don’t care who is rebbi is. I care who he is. Rebi Meir’s rebbi was an apikores, and a large percentage of the talmidim in Volozhin were apikorsim.
They don’t even claim to be orthodox. They call themselves Open Orthodox to distinguish themselves from orthodoxy. The same way Conservative calls itself Conservative Judaism to distinguish itself from Judaism.
And this has nothing to do with Modern Orthodoxy. Modern Orthodoxy and chareidim are very close compared to the distance both groups have from these clowns.
Modern Orthodox rabbonim and establishments are the ones leading the charge on this. The chareidim are distanced from it; nobody from our community is going to get confused. It is the Modern Orthodox who to their credit have stepped up to the plate to expel this Eidah Ha’raah from our midst. ????? ??? ??????.

Angel is buddies with Avi Weiss.
Assuming you mean theologically they are buddies (which they are, as is confirmed by a simple google search), that certainly explains it.
I suppose if anyone wants a giyur with him, I don’t really care. But they certainly shouldn’t be surprised if nobody will marry their kids until the kids get an orthodox geirus.
yet conversions done by the most respected rabbis are not on the list either. R’ Marc Angel, for instance, is the former RCA president, and the RCA today has distanced themselves from him.
I’m not sure what you are trying to say, but I think if the RCA has distanced themselves from him, that is a sign that he is not “the most respected rabbis”.
He’s very broadly accepted. Good choice.
It is sickening that people go to Midtown Manhattan on dates.
A yiddishe date is something pure; it is for purposes of kedusha. It is insane that you would wish to degrade and sully it by taking it to that makom tummaa.
Better to go to a beis medrash.
WIY: ?? ????? ?? ????????
Shouldn’t this thread just be called “becoming jewish”?
This post is dedicated to PBA.
I always appreciate a good troll post dedicated to me. (kidding)
In seriousness though, I’m not up to seriously discussion politics for a few weeks. Perhaps after shloshim.
Can learn how to do anything on youtube.
Totally fine.
The way I do it is like this: I invite two couples on one invitation, and tell them they have 2 seats among the 4 of them and that they can work it out however they choose. They get the point.
The main thing to daven for is the ???? ????? ??? ???-???
Shtusim, for the win.
Wut is this I don’t even
That won’t work. What they think are the good things are what we think are the bad things.
They should write one bad thing they think about him, and then we won’t feel so down about it.
No, if you vote, you can only complain half the time. But if you don’t vote you can always complain.
So on any race where there was just a Democrat and nobody running against them, I did a write in and wrote B. Obama.
So I voted for Obama like 5 times. And only voted for Romney once. What does that say?
If the inner self is happy the external radiance will be attractive and the wight will not be a detraction.
I reckon it is way easier to lose weight than to become happy.
To destroy the anti semitic River Cafe. See their website, they are closed.
Do people need to be denigraded or their beliefs???
No, but people need to denigrate, and the best targets are people. People should learn to live with it.
They also have 12 Imams. That is probably also connected.
This is an important subpart of the shidduch crisis that few people realize.
See, every guy will only date girls from a few seminaries–which effectively creates a shiddush crisis within a shiddush crisis for girls who did not got to those seminaries.
The guys often don’t even know this, but if you ask any guy who has dated for a while, invariably almost all of his dates will have been from 2-4 seminaries.
Girls really should be attempting to game the system by going to seminaries which more guys date from, to maximize their odds. After all, this is an odds game, you know.
Hmmm. Ramat Eshkol.
And yet another good reason for the CR policy of not facilitating email exchanges.
Medium thinker:
Not quite. Intent to abandon means that you intend for other people to be allowed to use it; not that you intend to not use it yourself anymore. There is no evidence that he intended for other people to be allowed to copy it.
“n order to effect an abandonment, the proprietor must have an intention to surrrender or abandon his right and allow the public to copy.” 84 A.L.R.2d 462
Well, here is the Wikipedia entry on that:
Copyright protection attaches to a work as soon as it is fixed in a tangible medium, whether the copyright holder desires this protection or not. Before the Copyright Act of 1976 an artist could abandon or forfeit their copyright by neglecting to comply with the relevant formalities. Difficulty arises when one tries to apply the doctrine of abandonment to present-day concerns regarding the abandonment or gifting of a digitized work to the public domain. The abandonment of a work is difficult to prove in court, though Learned Hand stated proposed a test which parallels other forms of abandonment law wherein an author or copyrightholder could abandon their work if they intend to abandon it and commit an overt act to make public that intention.[3]
I have a pdf copy floating in my computer somehow. If I find it, I can email it or create a dropbox for you to get it, if you so request.
That sounds completely illegal to me. I’m not aware that the author gave up his copyright.
There is only anecdotal evidence, but from much first-hand experience, I’d estimate it to be in the ballpark of 1%.
I am sure it is higher than 1%. Then again, I am sure that the kids who you think only became non-chassidish, that many of them are really not shomer shabbos either but don’t want you to know.

OK, so here is the funny thing.
OP miswrote what he meant. He meant to say that it bothered him that girls don’t get dates, and he knows that is so because the girls he dates don’t often get dates, and he is fed up with that. He wrote it badly because facially it looks like he is fed up with the fact that he has to date them–not with that they don’t get dates.
Popa decided to be funny, and pretend he understood OP the way it appeared written. Then, that framed the thread because if you read OP and then Popa, it was natural you would not reinterpret OP as you probably would have without Popa.
Popa still thinks it is funny. And will still think so later also. You may check back if you are unsure.
Popa, how would you know if she needs it?
If she isn’t absolutely phsychotic, she doesn’t need it. Just needs good old fashioned therapy.
Would you need to meet the psychiatrist?
No, only a psychologist. I think psychiatrists are witch doctors.
Would you demand that first she stops the meds and then you’ll date?
No.
As a spouse, do you feel that you are in charge of what meds your spouse can take?
No, but as a potential spouse I can be in charge of who my spouse will be.
Do you really believe that meds are “overprescribed” to the extent that “she almost certainly doesn’t need it”??
Absolutely.
Do you have research to prove that???
Yes.
I will. But I’ll wait for the right moment.
He probably will. But he will wait for the right moment.
You’re saying nonsense. You expect the parents in meah sheorim to have a picture of book entitled “types of jews”, where they will point out each one and say “this is a teimani, this is a bucharian, this is a chardal, this is a dati, this is someone from the five towns, this is someone from chicago.”
MO kids don’t grow up in insular neighborhoods, because such neighborhoods don’t exist. If they did, then I expect they would be very surprised the first time they saw a chossid, who would look nothing like the jews where they were from.
My father is a clean shaven man. Once a young chassidishe boy came over to him and said “du bist a yid”?
My father was furious and outraged that a child could grow up thinking that despite wearing a yarmulke, a man might not even be Jewish without a beard.
And that, my friends, is closed mindedness at it’s best.
I disagree.
It is quite normal for little kids to think that other jews look like the ones they see every day. The kids father never showed him a clean shaven jew with a yarlmuke and said “goy”! And besides, the arabs in yerushalaim also cover their heads with a kippa looking thing frequently.
Anyone else in that situation would have said, “how cute”, and understood where the kid was coming from–instead of being upset.
And that my friends, is closed-mindedness at its best.
Yes. This is exactly how I am in real life.
Wanna marry me? How about my son?
Would you rather marry me or my son? (assuming same age and both previously unmarried). Just extrapolating from me what my son is like.
Yavneh
Coincidence. I don’t believe in a G-d who would make this big storm to punish all of us for the fact that there is a lawsuit. We don’t even know who is going to win that lawsuit.
There are a lot. I’ve had many people tell me they or a family member is familiar with my work here.
This bickering is ridiculous and pointless. In 30 years, there will be no more MO young people since all the kids won’t be frum, and MO will be relegated to a few ill attended shuls of old people in formerly frum neighborhoods like Lawrence and Woodmere.
So just stop bickering and let nature run its course.
sorry popa, I already married him.
Syag, there is contradictory info on this site about you. I think you must be trolling us. http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/here-we-go-again-1#post-413119

You are talking about a long distance romantic relationship?
I think long term romantic relationships which aren’t marriage are a bad idea anyway, and long distance marriages sound like a terrible idea.
