I used to daven at a Chassidish shtieble in Baltimore. I would daven mincha and arvit at the regular time; as our minyan was leaving, the Rebbe and others would enter to daven mincha.
“True believers” would be going to Yerushalayim, not someplace in the middle of Jew hatred country.
I thought from the title that there was going to be a rumble. I even brought popcorn.
Yeshivish is a subset of chareidi.
“It’s halacha to wear a hat during davening.”
Incorrect.
The traditional straw hat season in the U.S. is from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
You can find cheaper rentals if you go to a place that’s not such an Anglo ghetto.
“Its definitely not recommended!”
Seriously? You don’t want to add in anything about the cases where divorce IS recommended? Divorce is better than a husband beating a wife isn’t it? Divorce is better than a husband abusing his kids, isn’t it?
Are you living in la-la land?
“West Bank settlers do that anytime a settlement is dismantled just to name a few,”
“West Bank” means nothing. Refer to the areas by their proper names – Yehuda and the Shomron.
Some tzitzit are made of cotton (like undershirt material) and are designed to touch your skin. They need to be washed.
“the known Jewniverse of NY and NJ”
As someone who has made aliyah, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry at this.
“And TKM, your father was wrong. The whole idea is unworthy of a republic.”
As they say in the armed forces, you salute the rank, not the man.
“I don’t like the heading. At all. Say what you want. Protest too. But no name calling a sitting president.”
This.
Exactly.
As a know-it-all teenager, I once said something disparaging about Jimmy Carter. My Dad z”l heard me, and he said, “You may disagree with the President, but he’s the President, and you always respect the office, even if you don’t like what he says.”
Volunteer Fire Company?
Joseph, I’m sure you have a cite and/or source for your allegations. I’d like to see them. Perhaps others would as well. Can you please post?
What about “yalla, bye.” Works for me.
Troll
“I don’t see anything wrong with ten people standing ten feet away from each other and not touching anything.”
Are you a doctor? A scientist of some type? Then your opinion, in this case, means nothing.“Based on that description of the danger I don’t see anything wrong with ten people standing ten feet away from each other and not touching anything.”
In Israel, at least, it’s now illegal.I see some people are using their isolation time to create tin-foil hats. You may have made yours a few sizes too small.
“DRINK MORE HOT TEA AND WATER. AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 40 DEGREES, VIRUS CELLS DIE.”
Nobody reputable is saying anything like this. The virus is in the trachea and lungs, not in the esophagus. Unless you’re going to pour hot tea into your lungs, this does nothing. Google “drinking hot tea for covid-19” and you’ll see that this theory was debunked.
And this is why one does not rely on unsolicited medical advice from anonymous posters, just as one should not rely on anonymous posters for halachic concerns.
I have already been informed of two “virtual siymim” in our locality. And yes, I am a bechor.
“People need to have access to take out foods . . .”
They do? They NEED to have access? Why? Can they not cook at home?People still send invitations thru the mail?
It’s “you’re,” not “your.”
You’re a moron.
Perhaps it would be better to spend less time worrying about the shidduch crisis and more time learning to write English properly.
Simply want to wish CTL and Mrs. CTL and family a mazal tov! Wishing you all the best!
In honor of this debate, I went into our machsan yesterday and counted the bags:
Freezer bags, small 4
Freezer bags, large 3
Regular sized grocery bags 18
Net bags 1All the freezer bags are from various places in the states, as are some of the grocery bags (mostly from Trader Joe’s).
” And because of the spike in disease from unwashed bags, they had to build a new medical school.”
JDF007, you can’t possible expect anyone with at least half a brain to believe this silliness.
I think there are more important things going on in the world to worry about than plastic bags. Just deal with it and move on.
If it bothers you that much put a band-aid on the boo boo first, then kiss it. My kids used to want the band-aid more than anything else.
I thought the “end goal” was E”Y.
“no clue why anyone would recommend a yeshiva boy to go to Ben Yehuda area, full of pritzus.”
No clue why any yeshiva boy would be walking around looking for fast food. Isn’t he supposed to be in the b”m shteiging away? What’s wrong with the food served in the cheder ochel?If it was a work day, I was working.
“Why do you think some Jews did not feel it? Would the same Jews lack joy in Moshiach?” Rubashkin is not Moshiach. I think that’s a good reason right there.
I worked, and I learned a bit. Same as other nights.
Better to just take a pocket knife and slash the tires than to call the cops.
To answer the OP, because despite what you think, Flatbush does not belong to the Jews.
You say they are “probably” safe. Why risk your life on a safek?
Please, I invite you to come to the shule where I daven shacharit during the week, and ask you to tell everyone there (including the Rav) why we’re all “violating halacha” because there’s nary a jacket or hat in sight (unless it’s cold).
We didn’t have stuffed cabbage. Come to think of it, we didn’t last year, either.
I asked my doctor about the flu shot last week. Her answer: “Just like everything else, אחרי החגים !”
If you’re not in the military, you don’t salute. Standing up and standing still is all you need to do.
This thread was started by oomis, one of the people I really respected in the CR way back when. I miss her posts.

Stanley Miller“30 year ago this was normal.”
Ha! 30 years ago this August I went out with the young lady who became my wife. She lived in Flatbush. We went out, on our first date, to Bernstein’s. (I didn’t live in NY, and that was the only place I knew.) It was a Monday night, so the place was empty. Afterwards we went over to South Street Seaport and sat and talked until some early hour of the morning. We were married the following June, and still B”H married 29+ years.
The moral of the story: there’s nothing wrong with going to a restaurant on the first date.
“The Brisker R”Y said circumstances imposed by the Israeli government upon Bnei Torah living in Eretz Yisroel may compel us to move out to chutz l’aaretz to continue our Torah life.”
That would be impossible, as other civilized countries do not put up with rioting in the streets the way the Israeli government does.
Anyone not in E”Y IS OOT!
“We once had an adom gadol for a sukkos yom tov meal, we had a bar-b-q going on a low flame, so we served hamburgers, hot dogs and bar-b-q wings. The adom gadol complained that it is not yom tov’dik.”
An adom gadol should have enough common sense not to complain about the food at a meal to which he was invited. And by the way, our minhag for last day of Pesach is to BBQ for the day seuda. We had hot dogs, hamburgers, wings, and kebobs. A nice time was had by all, and nobody complained that the food was not fit for a meal on chag.
