Kneidlach is the most uniquely jewish food, because it is made from matza. Polish peasants did not have matza.
Gefen doesn’t post anymore.
Popa, anecdotally, I know people married from both, but I know more people from Stern who are married than I know people who are married from Touro.
I would think someone thinking about honors programs would know how flimsy anecdotal evidence is…
Also,
soft matza is idtiotic. You can’t make matza meal out if it, so what do you use for kneidlach, and what do you use to make cakes and kugels, and what do you use to fry shnitzel?
Squeak, can we speak aloud J-O-S-E-P-H, or should it only be scanned with your eyes?
As is my ordinary custom, I will be eating then this shabbos on plastic tableware.
on the shell. From the cage.
PBA: I think many do. Many consider them good friends and people to talk, hang out, or discuss life and religion with. There’s just a knowledge that they’re not “Frum”. Your question is that a woman can wear pants and still avoid the “not-Ftum” moniker. What’s the Chiluk? Probably that you can trust the Kashrus of a woman who wears pants but not a M’challel Shabbos. That’s an important distinction.
The second half of your post is a good point.
As regards the first half, I’m also friends with non-frum people, and non-jewish people, and religious people of other religions, etc. I think we’re talking here about who you consider part of your religious community.
And I think there is a bigger difference going on here, than just “these are the kitchens I eat in and these are the ones I don’t”
Dude, everyone does kiruv! It isn’t only chabad. Nobody kicks anyone out of shul for not keeping shabbos.
Yes, I’m aware they have members who are mechalel shabbos.
But on a social level, do you really consider them part of your religious community?
Sam,
I actually began my previous post intending to say what you are saying, that the chareidim have a misperception of what MO hold from, because MO are generally more willing to “live and let live” and accept differences in their community.
But I didn’t think it was true. And I don’t. I don’t think that any normal MO community would include a mechallel shabbos in public into their community as a normal member.
Maybe I’m misperceiving because most mechaleli shabbos don’t want to join the frum community anyway. But I just don’t think it is true anyway that you really would. Tell me RIETS would accept a student who was publicly mechalel shabbos (even not for semicha). Now tell me they wouldn’t accept a student whose wife dresses according to no halachic opinion m’dina.
I could be wrong on this; but am I really?
zdad:
I agree with you that some chareidi communities should do more to distance themselves from those who would cheat on taxes. It should be a communal pariah. I’m willing to take that criticism.
Your example of chareidim texting on shabbos is misplaced though, since if it were known that someone did, he would certainly not be welcome as part of the community among those who knew.
Better question is which is better for shidduchim.
I can say anecdotally that all the women I know from touro honors are married, and I don’t know anyone married from stern honors.
Sorry, Damoshe, I think you must be using different terminology than I am, because there is no way in the world that you accept people who drive on shabbos into your community.
I’m not talking about inviting for a shabbos meal; chareidim do kiruv just as much if not more.
I’m talking about accepting them into your community and allowing the notion that they can be full members of the community without changing what they are doing.
You would never allow it for someone who drives on shabbos; why do you allow it for someone who texts on shabbos?
Stop providing communal cover for it, and we’ll stop assuming that you condone it.
Would you make part of your religious community someone who drives on shabbos? No.
Someone who publicly steals? No.
Someone who publicly eats pork? No.
Someone who publicly molests children? No.
So why do you make part of your community someone who “eats dairy out”? (Assuming he doesn’t understand the issues like yitayningwut)
So why do you make part of your community someone who doesn’t cover their hair, or wears low cut necklines?
And it isn’t just about being more “live and let live”, because you certainly wouldn’t accept someone who did other issurim I mentioned. It is apparently about thinking these issurim are no big deal.
And that’s what you’re being called out on.
Semantics. One mans kula is another mans din
20 bucks says you’ll be annoyed if this stays on topic
Maybe you can just be pogem it by eating some ptcha.
The rebbetzin was korach’s wife. Korach was a big talmid chochom and a big tzaddik before he became a rasha on account of machlokes.
So sorry, that one is in tanach.
But you can use the one from Chabakuk and the dragon which is not part of tanach.
Someone took a girl on a date to a baseball game. When they got to the stadium he realized that their seats were on two different sides of the stadium!
I like the story with that guy’s brother better. He took a girl to a baseball game, and purposely got them seats on opposite sides. Now he’s married to the girl he went back and picked up and brought to the same baseball game. And she’s married to the guy who sold hot dogs at the kosher stand.
Cognac.
Not a bit. Hasn’t even cleaned the garage yet.
Dr. Pepper, thanks for checking in today. Excellent!
yeah but MIT is better in robotics
Hence real men go to Harvard.
(if you were already making that joke, I apologize for being slow)
only reason I am not saying this about YU is because they are a top 50 school
You looking for prestige or to get a job?
Who cares. Real men go to Harvard.
Why end the thread?
Ner Yisroel does have UMBC and John Hopkin nearby. But it also has Georgetown, no?????
I think the mesivta of Boston is very close to Harvard. Check it out.
Likewise, there is a chabad yeshiva in New Haven that is near Yale.
lol
You probably didn’t even notice it was there until the mod posted that it was getting unstickied. Nobody used to read it or notice it.
1. Depends what it says.
2. Depends what it says.
3. Depends what it says, and where you live.
4. By putting things to that effect in the rental agreement, or by living somewhere where there is a statutory limit of by how much they can raise it.
just watch a youtube clip and DIY
What are the chances you have a common acquaintance with your future spouse? I’d say pretty low. It makes sense to rely on strangers.
Popa is the seminary expert.
You should go to BY half day, and teach at BY high school the other half day.
Why not just delete all the torah from the website while you’re at it.
And you call yourself yeshiva world. More like IDF world.
Sit around. Unless my mother in law lets me make Osso Buco like last year.
did you see what i posted earlier.?? it seems that the law is not clear.
I don’t see that.
and even if you cant be prosecuted it doesent mean that the dina dimalchusa actually permits it . they just dont prosecute the violators
Is your distinction between civil law and criminal law? Because it isn’t illegal or immoral to do things that result in civil causes of action. Like my example with the contract.
if you had a country which did not press charges against realy burglary. would it mean you break in to s/o’s house.—obviously not.
I assume by that you mean would I break and enter the dwelling of another in the nighttime with the intent to commit a felony within. I would not.
breaking a contract isn’t stealing.
We have plenty of laws that make illegal all sorts of stuff, like larceny, larceny by trick, robbery, embezzlement, burglary, etc. None of those include breaking a contract.
The idea that it is stealing to break a contract is lunacy, and would violate the 13th amendment which prohibits slavery. If I make a contract to paint your house, and then my son is getting married that day–I am forced to paint your house anyway? No, I break the contract, you sue me, and I pay damages if any. But that’s a civil suit–not a criminal action!!
The footnote insinuated some certain people who might not be real men.
Bacon is crispy.
You are not a real man*.
*for example, like DY**.
**DY is more of a real man in his little pinky than ROB is in his fat head***.
***That insult is a registered trademark of ROB, and is used without permission of the trademark holder.
Last night I finally successfully grilled some beef fry so that it was like bacon. I’ve never had much success with it.
But I saw how they do it in the cafeteria with real bacon, so I tried like them.
I laid each piece flat on my cast iron grill pan (which I assume every real* man has) (Lodge, 20 bucks), and let it grill until it seemed almost ready to start burning (flipped in middle). Then I took them out and piled on a plate. Then, i was gonna put them on my burgers, but instead just ate them.
It was excellent. The beef frye was from Romanian in chicago, naturally, and had been in my freezer for at least a year, probably more. Also, IIRC, I left it out of the fridge when I got it for like a day. Also, I had a very bad stomachache later last night, but that is unrelated I’m sure.
*footnote redacted
It reminds me of Yogi Berra saying, “Nobody goes to that restaurant anymore, because it’s too crowded”.
lol, that hits the point precisely.
Agree with interjection, but slightly differently, and I call it the ice cream theory and some call it the standard deviation theory. The theory is that girls are more likely to be looking for a “plain vanilla” BMG guy, than guys are likely to be a “plain vanilla” BMG guy. Guys might be a chocolate or strawberry BMG guy, or might be a rum raisin and certainly not in BMG, or even a chocolate caramel swirl with heath pieces mixed in and getting a Phd in electrical engineering.
Ice cream theory.
I once heard or saw the same described as the “standard deviation theory” of the shidduch crisis (probably saw on YWN, but if not, here it is). Boys are more likely to be further away from the mean boy, while girls are more likely to be closer to the mean boy (smaller standard deviation; taller curve). Girls are all looking for boys within a small deviation of themselves, but there are less of them.
