I feel sorry for the girl who only wants a full time forever learner, and then one morning wakes up nauseous out of her mind and must get to work, to support her family. What a rude surprise of what real life looks like.
No time in history have women been expected to earn a living so their husbands can learn. It is scandalous! Women have to bare children, raise them, and run a household, which is a full time and exhausting project on its own. Adding to it the responsibility of parnossah is simply not fair to women.
My zeida O”H told me that when he was in shidduchim no girl was interested in a boy who couldn’t support her. He worked hard and learned more hours a day than the average kollel fellow.
This without even taking the children into account, who are being raised by babysitters 9-5 and then brought home to an exhausted mommy.
One of my childhood memories is Shabbos morning after a blizzard hit, the snow was waist high for grown men. We stood by the window and watched all the men plowing there way out of their homes with their bodies, and neighbors helping to pull each other out to the road which was already plowed, the road being after an ample front yard. None of the men stayed home.
Thank G-D for driveways.
Charlieh: “We modern orthodox don’t believe in Daas Torah because Rav Soloveitchik z’tz’l told us not to.”
If you don’t believe in daas torah, I assume you believe the concept expired, as in not shayach in 2016. Doesn’t asei lecha rav = daas torah?
none intended!
And thank you Hashem that snow is white. Imagine if snow was black!
Lay low until he can leave the states, for his own good. Then let’s hear the truth.
Charlie: according to you the mishna in Pirkei Avos Asei lecha rav is expired?
Shekerm: “IN GALUS THERE IS NO ROOM FOR IDEOLOGIES” exactly. I agree with you 100%. Every person according to their daas torah, with no yid bashing another person’s daas torah.
” I wont say there’s a tuna beigel community there because that wouldn’t be nice.”
No it wouldn’t be nice. Maybe you can say there is a more modern crowd there. (if there is)
Or maybe he simply has a mind of his own and isn’t so hung up about doing what “everyone” does.
what are the rules?

Mammele: Jews are lemaleh min ha statistics.
Avi: A Kohen did the Avodah in the Mikdash, a Levi got to make the music. No matter how wonderful a musician you are, unless you are the son of a Levi, you couldn’t join. Yiddishkeit isn’t America with equal rights. It’s about equal responsibility to do G-d’s will.
In the 80’s there was a movement to build up a heimishe community in Pomona – the housing was cheaper there. It didn’t really take hold and many people moved out.

BTW this term is fairly new. What were ex chasidim before they became tuna bagels? Ingredients for a tuna bagel? Tuna fish swimming in the water? 😉
and x misnagdim are they egg salad bagels? lox bagels?
What about x frei (BT) are they also on the lunch menu?
Sorry YW fan, for some reason I didn’t see your post.

Shekerm ” whats the big deal calling chashuva women “rabbi”.??”
Why are you upset that they are called Rebbetzin? like Rebbetzin Zahava Braunstein, or (lehavdil) Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis. Do you want women to be called Mr. instead of Mrs. also?
No reason to be ashamed of the title Rebbetzin, there are some very Choshuva women with the title.

Mods, why is it ok to label derogatively an entire community of yidden? Is that not loshon Hora?
When you find it necessary to edit a debate over who is the best singer, with nothing derogatory having been said about either singer?

writersoul: Why doesn’t rebbetzin count? How about Rebbetzin Kanievsky?
Hashemisreading: I fit right into Monsey, have fit in my entire life. And Tuna is sometimes on the menu at lunch.
My daughter was kind enough to enlighten me to what the derogatory title Tuna bagel implies. I’m surprised the Mods are letting this whole thread here, when they edit some comments which are a lot more benign.

Fathousewife: So you are saying Yes, if I like tuna I’m a tuna type. and Yes you spoke to people for more than 10 minutes before sorting them.
You haven’t had any conversation with me, yet you have no problem sorting me into a box.
“Joe: What about women?”
The title would be Rebbetzin
fathousewife: “Chasidim basically are either tuna types”
If I like tuna that makes me a “tuna type”?
Have you had a conversation that lasted for more than 10 minutes with any of the people whom you are putting into various boxes, before the sorting?

Avi: “Queen, for that matter all American universities required their students to study Tanach in Hebrew”
The emblem of Yale University has the words urim vetumim in Hebrew lettering in a Luchos.
I said all along that chances are a yid is the best singer.
The shower is a great place for singing. Try also the Shabbos tish.

Rabbi Ken Spiro has very interesting lectures on this topic. The constitution was based on Jewish thinking. The Luchos was the first idea for the American emblem before the eagle was decided upon.
