Of course they should know Loshon Kodesh (not Ivrit.). But they should not speak Loshon Kodesh (and certainly not Ivrit.)

MOISHE PLOTNICK’S CHINESE LAUNDRY

Walking through San Francisco’s Chinatown, a tourist from the Midwest was fascinated with all the Chinese restaurants, shops, signs and banners. He turned a corner and saw a building with the sign “Moishe Plotnik’s Chinese Laundry.”

“Moishe Plotnik?” he wondered. “How does that fit in Chinatown?”

So he walked into the shop and saw a fairly standard looking Chinese laundry. He could see that the proprietors were clearly aware of the uniqueness of the name as there were baseball hats, T-shirts and coffee mugs emblazoned with the logo “Moishe Plotnik’s Chinese Laundry.” There was also a fair selection of Chinatown souvenirs, indicating that the name alone had brought many tourists into the shop.

The tourist selected a coffee cup as a conversation piece to take back to his office. Behind the counter was a smiling old Chinese gentleman who thanked him for his purchase. The tourist asked, “Can you tell me how this place got a name like “Moishe Plotnik’s Chinese Laundry?” The old man answered, “Ahh… Everybody asks me that. It’s the name of the owner.”

Looking around, the tourist asked, “Is he here now?” “He is right here,” replied the old man.
“He is me.”

“Really? You’re Chinese. How did you ever get a name like Moishe Plotnik?”

“Is simple,” said the old man. “Many, many years ago when I came to this country, I was standing in line at the documentation center. The man in front of me was a Jewish gentleman from Poland.
The lady at the counter looked at him and said, “What is your name?” He said, ” Moishe Plotnik.”

Then she looked at me and said, “What is your name?” I said, “Sam Ting.”

“Whose life would have been saved had the Warsaw Ghetto uprising not happened?”

Potentially any life lost when the Nazis razed the ghetto, and whoever was in it, to the ground.

America was winning in Vietnam. But Americans got tired of losing American servicemen.

The Nazis did what they did despite the “partisans” making armed resistance. The Nazis killed 10 in revenge for every one of theirs killed by a partisan.

uno: Don’t be a fool. If Jews were armed in Europe, they couldn’t outshoot the Nazis.

Yay.

Yseribus: What you are writing is a complete falsehood. Republicans voted to fund Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, WIC, etc.

Yseribus: That’s a complete fabrication and falsehood. Republicans have consistently voted in favor of funding welfare.

The mainstream left accepts and honors their antisemites, such as those in the black community (Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and numerous other fully accepted black Democrats) whereas the mainstream right rejects their antisemites. Furthermore, antisemitism is very large on the left whereas it is the fringe on the right. Additionally, the violence from the left, just look at all the reports in major cities of black violence against Jews in NY, NJ, etc., far far outnumbers the rare violence from the right against Jews.

“pour water from becher into wine bottle before kiddush”

It’s a very common minhag.

“The idea that Zelensky would send a rocket into Poland and then blame Russia for it in order to bring NATO into the war is far fetched.”

It’s hardly far fetched at all. Zelensky has been attempting to draw the United States and NATO into war against Russia, in what would effectively be World War III, since February. He made many such attempts, including trying to get NATO to establish a no fly zone and shoot down Russian pilots.

AAQ: You’ll happily purchase German cars as easily as you might purchase a Japanese car? After all, you say what the Germans did 75 years ago killing six million of your grandparents, brothers and sisters is irrelevant to today’s Germans.

Would you be crying in defense of Germany if France bombarded German cities and invaded it?

All the folks named in the title are executive members of the Elders of Zion.

I’m surprised no one pointed this out yet.

“likely assur” but maybe muttar, DaMoshe? Where do you get such chutzpah?

YO: As a self-loathing Ashkenazi who is envious of Sephardim, even though you completely do not understand a thing about Sephardim, you’ve blamed your having grown up Reform on your ancestors who ditched Torah observance. Yet your claims to have become a baal teshuva are belied by your disagreements with following Jewish law.

North Korea is developing ICBMs that can carry nuclear payloads to American cities.

“Taiwan is the #1 leader in semiconductor manufacturing worldwide. The US does not want China gaining dominance over such an important market… there is still a serious national interest for the US to defend Taiwan. North Korea isn’t the up and coming rival of the US the way China is.”

Marxist: America’s national interest would be much better served by the elimination of North Korea, via it being absorbed into South Korea, at the trade-off of granting China the benefits of acquiring Taiwan. North Korea is mortal nuclear threat to the world. Taiwan is, by comparison, only an economic advantage.

What accomplishments does Mrs. Obama have that anyone should vote for her to hold the nuclear suitcase? That she bakes great cookies?

Fool. The Reform don’t have anyone to blame for their rishus, other than themselves.

AAQ: The United States and the United Nations both recognize the Beijing government as the legitimate government of China. The US and the UN do not recognize Taiwan. And the US does not have diplomatic relations with Taiwan.

“Does it ever occur to ask the people in Taiwan, which is a democracy, what they think?”

akuperma: Did the US care that the people of the South wanted to secede and form the Confederacy? Did it occur that the people of Crimea wanted to secede from Ukraine?

If we allow Taiwan to secede from China, there’s no stopping the secessionists today in Spain (where Catalonia has already voted to secede), France, Bosnia (Republika Srpska) and others from seceding.

Everyone, including Taiwan (whose legal name is the “Republic of China”), acknowledges that Beijing and Taiwan are both part of the same country.

The British acknowledged China’s right to Hong Kong when they returned to it to China in 1997, despite the Hong Kongese preferring British rule.

Philosopher, keep up the great contributions. I stand behind all your comments here.

Avira, some of the big Chasiduses endorsed Hochul for the very reason you’re outlining.

#1: Al Gore conceded, Stacey Abrams refused to concede and falsely claimed election fraud.

“keep dressing yeshivish”. What does that even mean?

It means dressing Jewish. Jews dress differently than gentiles. And they should dress differently than gentiles.
