Why don’t men seem to need boots to keep their “toes warm”?
Of course it matters. One line of thinking may be wrong but mistakenly so. The other — admittedly — purposely so. Which is it?
(Another possibility is there is nothing wrong at all.)
First baby advice? Have a second.
You won’t be changing because you disagree with that interpertation of the Torah or you won’t change even if you agreed the Torah unambiguously said you were wrong in doing so?
The Torah says in Bereishis that a wife follows her husband’s rule.
AZ: Are you against 19 and 20 year old girls dating and marrying?
shmoel
He makes a binding promise and she agrees to waive his obligation while he is still in Yeshiva. It is a perfect, truthfuk and beautiful arrangement. He is obligated and took the binding commitment under tha chupa. And she excercised her right to waive what she’s entitled to. He still has the obligation and she can stop waiving it.
So how do the Yekkes get away with 3 hours and the Dutch with 1 hour?
That’s why I said yeridos hadoros created a shas hadchak where it is unrealistic today to expect us to follow the Rambam and Shulchan Aruch to the tee on this issue, so the Rabbonim gave a heter for that. Nevertheless we must recognize and be cognizant of what the Shulchan Aruch paskens and even if we cannot follow it precisely we should strive to come as close as possible to what the Shulchan Aruch and Rambam pasken.
AZ: Thanks for that information. But can you please share where, specifically, you got those approximate annual numbers of 2000 girls able to get married while 200 will never be able to get married. Where did that particular figure come from and how was it derived?
Thanks
The Wolf: Check the NYTimes archives from before the repeal polls. It was a much broader proposal than to just allow funding parochial education, which was a little discussed aspect. The referendum (all in one vote) was more than just repealing Blaine.
Previous referendums on the Baine Amendment repeal did NOT focus on funding religious schools. It was much broader and the school funding issue was little discussed. A more narrow amendment can succeed at the polls.
AZ: According to your numbers close to ten percent of all young girls today will never get married. Really, is it 10%? 2000 married and 200 never to get married? As many as it is, it sure does not seem that high — that 10% of all new, frum, Bais Yaakov girls today are never getting married.
WIY: Why are you wasting your time posting this junk? The only solution is for you to become a highly engaged shadchan.
Why haven’t you? You, Sir, are the problem – not the solution.
The cherem expired (according to Shulchan Aruch) at the year 5000. (About 750 years ago.)
Princess (or anyone): Which places are hangouts?
I hope as many less wealthy yidden as possible collect money from the government so that I get as many mitzvos of giving tzedaka as possible, via the taxes I pay going to these less fortunate families.
Remember the “shoresh” of the word “attractive”. It is to “attract”. Attracting is not something a bas yisroel should be doing.
Rambam rules, and Shulchan Aruch paskens as such l’halacha, that a woman shouldn’t go outside much. He rules that she should be allowed to go out a couple times a month to visit her parents or such.
Now I know we are more meikel these days (due to yeridos hadoros). But the concept is certainly halachicly applicable.
As I said, we need to take the Teimani (and some Sefardim) Yidden’s minhag of polygamy across Klal Yisroel to resolve this number crisis.
Fashion is worn for the purpose of getting the body noticed.
If the “age gap theory” is correct that there are more girls than boys in shidduchim, the best solution is to reinstate polygamy.
Because the intention of fashion is to be noticed, the same purpose as pritzus.
I make all three brachos with a lot of Kavana with special appreciation to the Ribono Shel Olam for not making me a goy, isha or eved.
Rebbis and Morahs have the obligation to come on time every day when class is scheduled to begin — and do! Probably much better than secretaries.
And if someone is envious of the “great” benefits of being a rebbi/teacher, they can switch jobs and become a teacher.
MSS: In the religious Jewish community, we allow G-d to determine the number of children a couple has. It is against our Torah to “stipulate” a limitation upon the number of children.
They chose a low-paying job with many days off. And that’s how it’s staying.
If you want to change it, start paying 20% more tuition and the school will add 20% more hours/days.
Eat your heart out.
Schools aren’t a babysitting service. They aren’t here so parents can maintain a two-income work schedule. That is not a schools function.
When your husband earns a rebbe’s salary, with a rebbe’s erratic pay schedule, you can complain.
Or you can complain now. Who cares.
Finding out the identity of the owner of the car who blocked the driveway is a trivial matter.
A less wrinkled faces brings with it more children.
I’ll just hire a mafia guy to eliminate you. So what theres a small chance I might get some jail? You’ll definitely get a lot worse.
Schools cannot cover their expenses as it is. Demanding more hours and more days is very expensive.
And it simply will not happen.
If you don’t care about the law, I presume you won’t care about the $65 parking ticket the city may issue to you every time you park as such. Or the potential $250 towing fees the tow truck operator may demand before returning your vehicle.
Someone who doesn’t shave during the times it is prohibited per the Torah does not even look like a slob. Chas V’Shalom to even say as such.
Agreed. There is nothing wrong with older men marrying younger women. It is a simcha every time it happens (as it often does.)
The rebbeim and teachers are getting paid a LOT LESS than you (and often are late or entirely miss in getting their paycheck) and are entitled to more days off than you.
Popa: You are entirely incorrect. In NYC, the homeowner is legally entitled to park on the street blocking his (legal) driveway, while anyone else is legally precluded from doing so. In fact, the homeowner can have a car ticketed for blocking his legal driveway, while if he (mistakenly) gets ticketed in front of his own driveway it will be dismissed.
Out of NYC it may or may not be different.
Why do they give off Chol Hamoad? That is a very important time to learn Torah in Yeshiva. Much more important than the other days some people are clamoring for.
The literature doesn’t indicate it starts nearly as early as you indicated.
Chanie –
It isn’t a false sense of security. Like you said, men have a much easier time getting a date and getting married at any age or status compared to women. Which explains why older men often marry young women.
And there is no biological degradation until at least the late-50’s.
I believe it is legal to make a u-turn at most intersections. Only certain streets it is illegal (Ocean Pkwy, Coney Island Ave., etc.)
It should be done very safely when done.
