Shikron, Yes Zalman Umlas is Frum.
They started Broadcasting from the Upsala College Campus in East Orange, NJ, an Evangelical school.
Zalman handed the reins to Nachum, (not directly) & they later moved transmitters to the current one which has a MUCH stronger signal.
Both programs were ‘listener sponsored’.

I know, Auto-correct is geferlach.
Lesschumras,
more spelling!
and a partial thank you to BTGuy
Never really understood why Nachman C needed this at his stage of life. Unless being the king of condo/co-op law he’d make a ton of $ on the ‘Plan’, while his son, Moishe, would develop/build.
The pipe-dream ‘plan’ being the only platform Caller was running on, was obviously not enough to lead the voters to turn their backs on Dov (now that the election is over, we can take back the ‘Smicha’ he was crowned with last week!) who has served us well for three and a half decades.
And lastly, while it is true that there is a shortage of available housing, I don’t believe that bottle-necking our already overcrowded streets is the answer. We are simply saturated; and 2000 more apartments would’ve choked us completely!
Dov…Hatzlacha!!
Hikind – 78%
Caller – 22%
And I am perfectly content to remain under the radar, read everyone’s (usually) insightful thoughts, and just occasionally comment when my ire is raised past my level of control.
Keep up the great chatter, people!
If u r really Rocky,
What happened to ur parakeet on 49th Street?
This Yeshiva has “Russian kids, from Russia”!
“Well, uuhhhhh, dat makes sense”!
Not unless he’s eating in a restaurant and doesn’t have the money to pay for his meal!

Men get excited by leather on a woman ’cause the smell reminds them of a new car.
Perfect example of ‘NOVOL B’RESHUS HATORAH’!
If I remember correctly, the only place it’s brought down is in the MEAM LOEZ on PARSHAS KI SAVO.
Thank You Haleivi.
I sit corrected.
Sam2…
Have you no sense of humor??
My comment was typed tongue-in-cheek.
(Yes, it happened to be empty for a change!)
Shreck, HUH????
yossi z.
Definitely NOT Toldos Aharon.
You meant R’ Aharon Hagadol,
better known as the Bais Aharon for the sefer he wrote by that name.
Also famous for the well-known Friday night zemer he authored; Ka Echsoif.
I have a better question.
If I overeat on Erev Yom Kippur (when it’s a mitzvah to eat) am I oiver Baal Toisef?
Dougies in Baltimore opened the day 18th Avenue closed.

nitpicker,
Absolutely wrong!!
Why can’t they all be in one proper place?
eg. I put all the forks in their proper place.
(not in their proper places, as you suggested.)
FERD,
I understand your feelings toward BMG.
They find people to build new botei medrash and dormitories.
And they can’t find anyone to sponsor a new stable for you, l’zecher nishmas a loved one?
No wonder you’re disgusted!
Yussel,
If you would understand what made R’ Ovadya tick, you wouldn’t talk like this.
He himself would not want what you seem to be demanding to take place.
Common, You call that growing? That happens naturally at my age.
Did anyone ever notice that the Roman numerals for 40 are XL?!!
Reminds me of an old joke.
There are three ways to get something done:
1. Do it yourself.
2. Hire somebody to do it.
3. Tell your kids NOT to do it!

Naftush,
And yours does as well.
You have to admit that the straying eyes admonition of ‘V’lo sasuru’ notwithstanding, any woman who is dressed immodestly is definitely oiver the lav of ‘Lifnei eevair’!
Interesting. The government has controlled where we can smoke, using the logic (almost universally accepted!) that your right to smoke ends where my nose begins. Meaning your right cannot be used to PHYSICALLY harm me.
I propose the same logic as follows:
YES! You have a right to dress as you wish; but it ends where my sight begins.
Meaning your ‘right’ cannot be used to SPIRITUALLY’ harm me.
How about: THERE – THEIR – THEY’RE
Easy mnemonic device is:
They’re there to be used in their proper place.
MOD 18 –
You heard correctly.
I heard it directly from the landlord.
He, by the way, is now making more each month from the bank than if KD had accepted his raise.
No pun intended, but he’s laughing his way to the proverbial bank!
The bank actually had a good laugh when I walked in and asked for a grilled frank with spicy fries and a coke!
For three days he was still hearing shots?!?!
The only shots in this sad story are the ones he drank!!!!
I’ve recently started shopping at Netzach on 16th Ave in B.P., owned now by Nachman Kletzky (Leiby’s father), and honestly, am extremely impressed with the cuts, quality, prices, and level of customer service.
Of course!!

B’mechilas R’ Pruzanski,
Be advised, Yiras Shomayim is a noun.
Y’rei Shomayim is the adjective you’re looking for.
If you eat shmura matzo oduring that meal, then you are showing that you are doing the seuda leshem Pesach; and it would be OK.

RuinT
A level of drunkenness only known the morning after a good bender. A cross between the worse hangover ever and still being drunk. The worse headache, gut rot, just about to blow chunks but you can’t be cause you lost your cookies the night before and there is no givener left but you still so drunk and you don’t feel a thing
EG. After i finished that case of beer and bottle of something someone handed me I passed out and when I woke up I was ruinT
1. 2SCENTS: While detectors are permitted in NY, radar ‘jammers’ are not.
2. If 2scents was permitted to go ‘off topic’ a bit, I would like to as well.
MOTHERS!
PLEASE, FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR CHILDREN (AND FOR THE SAKE OF THE INNOCENT DRIVER) DO NOT YAK ON THE PHONE WITH YOUR HEAD COCKED TO ONE SIDE TO HOLD THE PHONE, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME PUSHING YOUR CARRIAGE OUT (TO BEGIN CROSSING THE STREET) AS A LITMUS TEST TO SEE IF THE COAST IS CLEAR!!!
RECENTLY, IT’S GOTTEN WORSE AS THEY ARE TEXTING INSTEAD OF TALKING.
ICOT,
Now you’ve whet my appetite,
and then you ask not to be posted??
That’s simply not fair!
At least have the mods forward your ‘megilah’
to my email address.
I’m sure your points are valid.
They usually are.
If you knew any of them just a wee bit, you would not have to see a t’shuva from them to know how they held.
Sadly, there are precious few of them left to watch and learn from.
Still, in Elul, should we not try to go a bit ‘lifnim meshuras hadin’, just as we would want HKB”H to do soon when judging our (mis)deeds?

Voch, Halachically Assur aher,
Halachically Assur aheen,
Bottom Line…Would the 3 departed Gedolim referenced above say you should do it??
Stop pontificating!
Put your $ where your mouth is!
You know they would never advocate such actions.
That’s why they were heilige Gedolim…and you’re vochindik.
ICOT,
Your eloquent post far outshines mine.
Thanx for standing up for,
“TRUTH, JUSTICE, AND THE JEWISH WAY”.
Yek dear,
I have absolutely no problem with copying any cd, software program, (or to give away my age, 8-tracks!) once you buy it.
As long as you are using it yourself, and not distributing it.
My problem was with downloading an item under the guise of a ‘trial period’ and then keeping and using it as if you bought it.
My ‘Aseres Hadibros’ point was only to the extent that if a govt. outlaws thievery, you quite obviously can’t use said Ra”n to circumvent that law, because it also happens to be assur.
But having somewhat ceded you that point, I somehow still doubt that Rav Schwab, Rav Pam, or Rav Avigdor Miller, Zichronum L’vracha, would advise one to do it.
Just my opinion which cannot be disproven as we no longer have these giants. But we do have Rav Belsky, l’orech yomim v’shanim and I believe he would agree with me.
What was the reason for the cheirem in the first place?
Sam,
It’s not that simple.
According to many it’s dependant on g’dolim or k’tanim.
Accordingly, many pasken that due to sofek b’rachos we don’t make the b’rachos again.
You are correct though, that it is 100% muttar to speak with t’fillin. And as usual, people are way more makpid on chumros than halachos.
One of the craziest examples was ther time I saw someone lift his shel rosh a bit to be able to speak loshon horo!!
Hope you’re better at editing than spelling!:)
2Scents, Kozov, & Shlishi,
Don’t take Yekke to seriously.
He’s good at (mis)quoting Gedolim and twisting their thoughts to match his.
See his ‘pikchus’ in the video-editing thread.
YEKKE certainly never heard Rav Schwab speak on YASHRUS.
You are not doing the Ra”n in Nedarim any favors by twisting his words around like a pretzel.
Just how did you manage to use the Ra”n to make that quantum leap from violating a Dina D’Malchusa to being oiver on one of the Aseres Hadibros??
You think that’s what the Ra”n was trying to accomplish?
