Stevia is natural, just like sugar. It is healthier than sugar and causes much less heath problems than sugar.
No. But if you have any questions regarding an unlimited flying pass with American Airlines, I might be able to help.
Coffee: What led you to have that opinion? Are you a Holocaust survivors grandchild and that’s what your parents experienced?
Dr. CTL: Well done!
Anonymous Jew: That’s what the Reform and Conservative Jews say as well. They’re just following their “rabbis”.
“if your driving on the left either creates danger due to your own speed or due to you impeding those who drive fast, then you should not.”
You’re worried I’m in the left either driving too fast… or driving too slow? I’m driving neither too fast nor too slow; driving just right. Faster than the right but within the limits.
Use Stevia.
Where can I buy one as a pet?
In Jewish law the Jewish courts enforced (notice the “forced” part of enforced) compliance with Jewish law, with force, if necessary. The Jewish courts could, and did, physically force with corporal punishment or worse compliance with Jewish law. Whether the law was to eat kosher, give a Gett when required, cover a married woman’s hair, keep Shabbos, dress tznius (hello tznius police, in the form of agents of Beis Din), or any other Jewish law, for that matter.
“keep non-Jew on your right”
That’s why I always drive in the left lane.
No. It’s been pretty much the same for the last 75 years. No significant changes in the past 5 or 10 years.
That said, we live in Golus. And in Golus there always was, and always will be (until Moshiach), anti-semitism. In Israel and in Europe and in America.
What sort of “lack of social standing” are you referring to?
none: married women don’t have to cover their hair? Please remind us which “Jewish” denomination you’re a member of.
Ex-CTL: Can we confirm that you never sleep on used fabric in hotel rooms, never drive used cars from car rental agencies, never eat or drink from used utensils served in fancy or standard restaurants or wedding venues?
See the sources again. They say (including the ones you cited) that teaching women or girls a curriculum of Torah Shebksav is bad but teaching them a curriculum of Torah Shebalpeh is even worse.
In other words, both are bad but one is worse than the other.
none2.0: Did you get that “vort” from your Rabbi Susan McArthy at your Temple Emanu-El service at her last Shabbat “drosha”?
Thank you, doctor.
AJ: And there’s no penalty if someone wears a blue shirt instead of white, or an uphat instead of a down-hat.
Ex-CTL: please see my question above as to whether you ever rent a car.
Simcha613: Although all the sources you mention warn us not to teach girls or women a curriculum of any Torah Shebal Peh as well as not to teach them any curriculum of Torah Shebksav, you’ll notice they differentiate in the severity of teaching them Torah Shebal Peh versus Torah Shebksav.
Ex-CTL: Would you buy a used car? What about drive someone else’s car or rent one? Aren’t you, similarly, taking a chance on what might be inside to make you sick?
The consensus of the Ranbonim was critical of the revolt; the idea of it being a proud revolt doesn’t come from Jewish sources.
DaMoshe: Are you open to hearing and potentially accepting the view that Zionism is diametrically opposed to Judaism; and if it makes perfect sense transforming yourself, DaMoshe, into an anti-Zionist (in the same sense and extent that you’re anti-Christianity (presumably)?
Welcome to the 1980s!!
This was already very widespread by the 1980s.
Conformity is a blessing and a necessity. Every member of every Jewish community absolutely should strive to conform to community standards, on all levels, to the greatest extent possible.
Blessed is he who conforms.
How do you know that the girls who got in have secret boyfriends?
Aside from Faur signing up with the heretical conservative movement and their JTS, led by Mr. Lieberman, the fact that he took these other stances against Chachmei Yisroel and the Gedolei Yisroel of past and present, indicates that Artscroll is right on rather and got this exactly right.
I’m going to buy this book. Thank you for this thread bringing it to my attention.
We need a guide on how to live on a shoestring budget.
Jews have a right to live in Eretz Yisroel. Doesn’t matter whether Eretz Yisroel is controlled by the Turks, the British or the Zionists. Jews have a right to live there despite those three foreign rulers (or any of their predecessors.)
HaGaon HaRav Avigdor Miller ztvk’l famously said many times that therapists are mostly good at lightening the burden of your carrying cash in your wallet.
A related issue is unqualified therapists. Therapists who think they know, when in reality they are more incompetent than competent.
And unfortunately the patient usually has little way of knowing it realizing and are often lead astray.
none: You beliebe in none of the Torah? If the Torah tells us what not to do (or what to do), as explained by our Rabbonim, that is an obligation you must follow.
Simcha613: You’re ignoring the fact that both Shulchan Aruch and Rambam (and the Gemora and others) all pasken l’halacha that teaching girls Torah that they shouldn’t be learning is “tiflus”; which Rashi explains leads her to open immoralities.
And we see the fulfillment of this Shulchan Aruch/Rambam/Rashi in real life today where the girls who do not learn Torah shebal peh are overall much more Eidel and Ehrlich than those that are taught Torah shebal peh as part of their school curriculum, in defiance of the aforementioned Shulchan Aruch, Rambam, Gemora et al. And where these “over-educated” girls are far more likely to be dressing non-tznius and otherwise be acting publicly in loud and unrefined and unfeminine like manners.
NP: You’re splitting hairs when it is directly and implicitly the same thing. Chazal’s criticism of Bruria for her mocking of the truth about Nashim Da’atan Kalos is well understood by the meforshim to be a result of her learnt Torah not intended for women and as a result her thinking herself more knowledgeable and understanding than reality, directly a result of her “over learning”.
none: Stop drinking the Western Kool-Aid. Yidden are G-d’s Chosen People because we are better. One of our worst is 100 times better than 100 of the Goyim’s best. We are far above them in every way.
Apikorsus is a real thing. There are real apikorsum. You can pretend as much as you want that the idea is ad hominem and/or only an unfair attack. But the reality is that it exists and there absolutely are people who fall into that category and ideas and opinions that squarely fall within that description.
Yankel: Who ever said the Khazar kings were tzadikim or that whatever they did was the right thing?
