Is it davka necessary to “chap shirayim” with bare hands?
What is the difference between “bronfn” and “schnapps”?
Furthermore, no one forces anyone to be Orthodox or Chasidish. Every Orthodox and Chasidish person chooses to remain as such. And CHOOSES to follow their customs. They could get up and leave like this rashanta did.
Wolfish: No one forces them to refrain from driving in as much as no one forces them to go to the ritual bath monthly. The secular world would be angrier to hear our women are forced to go to a ritual bath than that they don’t drive or have separate seating on buses.
Wolfish: Why don’t you have the same argument against women being FORCED to go to ritual bath waters monthly and do personal inspections for a week in advance? Or do you?
Feif: Like popa pointed out, how are modern orthodox rules on women respectful to them? Rules like, they must cover their torso, knees, upper arms, they are “unclean” 2 weeks out of 4, they are forced to go into ritual waters once a month, etc.
The perushim are the biggest anti-zionists.
Popa: That she was able to leave and that she obtained custody is a negative not a positive.
Feif: Rav Moshe allows sitting on a subway next to a woman since there is no other choice. If there is an ability to seperate, he holds that is better. But this is irrelevant to this rashanta in any event.
besalel: what you write is fiction.
HaLeiVi: What is the source or reason that Rebbe’s give shrayim?
Avi K: You have a repeated tendency to take the names of many strongly anti-zionists rabbonim zt’l and imply they somehow supported zionism c’v by falsely attributing positions to them they never took.
Nechoma, do you posses any superstitions that smoking kills?
The issue is that taking an organ will kill the person (i.e. cause heart failure.)
I thought if you break a mirror you’ll have 7 years of bad luck.
Do you have proof the Turks attempted genocide against the Armenians and the Crusaders against the Jews, or do you doubt their occurance?
Yichus, unlegislated grave sins against humanity and the Torah are no less severe than if they had been officially instituted.
Gavra: what, exactly, is an example of an “unbiased” source that discusses this issue?
He doesn’t like it or he stops it?
A judge in secular court can shut up a lawyer, why can’t a dayan shut up a taon?
Yes because its a mitzvah (not necessarily to be first.)
Yes.
They placed them in respectable environments with food and shelter. They didn’t leave them to beg.
Popa, Jewish orphans weren’t left to live in shul and beg for food in Europe.
SW: My question is in the positive rather than the negative. I don’t care so much for proof who it isn’t. I’d like to know who IS.
Why is the question not easily answered (as you’ve indicated)?
Optimus,
It is “written down” where exactly? In the coffee room? On some blog? In someone’s filing cabinet? I can write things down too.
If you believe the Torah and its description of Adam’s creation you must reject evolution and its description of man’s descent from ape.
SW: Who IS the founder of MO?
What corraboration (if any) is there that the alleged letter by Rav Aharon Hakohen is authentic?
The Yerushalmi’s are Perushim (i.e. Litvish). Even though they wear shtraimels, vaise zuken, and white yarmulkas.
Women should be stay-at-home moms.
Emunas Chachomim is not a popular concept in the modern world.
My point still remains.
Longrakel: yet not all sefardim. i.e. the Teimanim can marry multiple.
Visiting Eretz Yisroel isn’t like visiting London or the Grand Canyons, where you ought to be touring fun and interesting sites. Eretz Yisroel is about kedusha.
Popa, we all assumed this was just another of your hypotheticals presented as reality.
Daas Torah IS Emunas Chachomim.
Gatesheader and gavra:
To be consistent and avoid hypocricy, you surely support legal polygamous marriage which is far far less problematic (to put it mildly) than homosexual marriage. Fundamentalist Mormon’s practice it, and you surely do not want to interfere with their religious practices, as you’ve put it. And Sefardic Jews also can do it (they only don’t because it violates secular law; but once it’s legalized they can marry as such.)
For the same reason men are first, yehudim are saved first. And it would also seem a godol chayiv in mitzvos would be saved before a koton.
The halacha, as stated in Shulchan Aruch, says you save men first.
Hoffman Tours at 1 Yona St. right in Geula (Yerushlayim), given by Mr. Hoffman and his son, is great and meets all your requirements. He has a brochure in many hotels.
Golden Flow makes Cholov Yisroel lactose free milk.
Shulchan Aruch paskens l’halacha a man must stay “very very far” from women. L’halacha.
Good point Health. Rav Kook held that women shouldn’t run for or be placed in public office. He has an officially published psak in his sefer that women shouldnt even vote! And his tznius standards for women were as strict as Satmar. Do all those promoting his shitta on Zionism accept these shittas of his too? Or are those simply unpalatable despite being Rav Kook’s position yet his position on Zionism neatly fits their agenda despite the hypocricy.
Popa’s correct. The Litvaks were forced by the goyim to stop wearing Jewish levush like long jackets, while the Chasidim persisted in continuing to wear traditional Jewish garb.
The entire Torah world agrees with the Satmar Rebbe’s position on zionism – i.e. that Zionism is treif. The only thing most don’t agree with him is how to deal with the zionists now that they created the state. The Rebbe says don’t have anything to do with the state, while most (but not all – Brisk agrees with Satmar even on this) feel it is okay to participate in state functions.
DY: Wouldn’t supply and demand work against the non-participants, as the participants get (and scoop up) a better shot at the available shidduchim (with less available guys than girls in the shidduch pool)?
