Neville: You’ll also need to change it to a fictitious email in order to prevent yourself from doing a password reset.
N0m: The old Flatbush eiruv from the 1970s was built by the MO and the MO were the only ones that used it. Rav Moshe was opposed to it.
Neville: You remember illini07? He was from the pre-CR days when there was only the main site. When the CR started in the summer of 2008 he was from the first posters here. (In fact, his last post was directed to me.)
Any old timer will surely remember this classical thread:
Eight highly active far-left-wing posters [from a Torah perspective] (all of whom were active on both the main site and the new CR) were identified in the OP. And they weren’t the only ones.
The Modern Orthodox built an Eruv in Flatbush, that only the MO used, during Rav Moshe’s lifetime. In the 1970s, about.
You can do avoda zora for darkei shalom?! You have to die rather than do avoda zora!
ubiq,: I’m glad to see that you still have that Pintele Yid in you.
Neville: Every Ben Torah has a little bit Joseph in them.

A July 29, 1981 JTA news wire states that Chief Rabbi Immanuel Jakobovits did NOT attend the church service wedding of Charles and Diana.
mentsch: This isn’t an isolated incident. This same Chief Rabbi has in the past expressed public support for toeiva practitioners as well as having taken other positions anathema to the Torah.
Neville: Thank you for this post. You have said everything that needs to be said.
And welcome back.
DaMoshe: Without addressing your claim, since it is irrelevant to this case for the following reason, the official invitations sent to everyone authorized to attend the coronation specifically says:
“… The Earl Marshall is directed to invite Mr. John Doe to be present… “
(Replace John Doe with the invitees name.)
It does NOT whatsoever “command” the invitee to attend.
mentsch1: Yes, it absolutely is hard to believe that this was done by many chashuv rabbanim throughout history, because it simply never was. No chashuv rabbanim have attended a Christian prayer service in a Christian church where they bow down to yushke and pray to him. No matter what the reason or excuse. No matter if it was the King himself who directly ordered him to or not.
Do you remember the story of Chana and her seven sons? Jews do not enter the sanctuary of a church for a prayer to Avoda Zora.
Throughout history Yidden have rather given up their lives and allowed themselves to be killed rather than do such a horrendous thing.
The British coronation service was in the main sanctuary of the church.
smerel: That’s untrue. They have not been doing this for 150 years. It is a recent thing.
Additionally, the prohibition is to even enter a church when there are no services. But the coronation as well as weddings and funerals are official Christian church service, replete with Christian prayers and bowing to yushke. It is not a secular service.
Camilla was coronated today, with her official title henceforth being Queen Camilla, and styled “Her Majesty The Queen”.
DaMoshe: Even according to the shittas you quoted, you cannot disregard right is left, etc. You cannot decide to ignore it and not question the Rov. You must ask him for clarification based on your objection. And follow right is left, etc. if he continues to insist that you do.
hoo hoo: What’s Brooklyn have to do with it, regarding this, that you’re differentiating Brooklyn?
Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau and Suffolk are all part of the same one land mass.
How’s this different than the Boro Park Eruv built 24 years ago or the Flatbush Eruv built 50 years ago?
Chinese people eat dog meat.
What does the donor lose or what is the cost to him (not financial, other)?
BTW, even under the original plan when she got married the Palace announced that Camilla “intended” to use the title Duchess rather than Queen upon Charles ascension, when had they stuck to that intention Camilla would still have legally been Queen. The announced intention was only that Camilla would only publicly advertise herself as duchess even though she*was* Queen. After the ascension she immediately advertised herself with her higher title of Queen Consort, per Queen Elizabeth’s “fervent desire” that she announced about a year before her passing. And now with the coronation the Palace is simply calling her Queen Camilla, without reference to Consort. Which is in line with how traditionally the British Queen Consorts have not used Consort as part of their title as Queen.
CS, again, Rambam very clearly and explicitly declares Christianity to be avoda zora for goyim.
CS, and, as i mentioned, rambam specifically writes that Christianity, whether you call it shituf or not, is avoda zora.
CS, the Noda B’Yehuda wires that shituf is avoda zora even for a Goy.
CS, Christians are akum, worshipping avoda zora. It says so specifically in Rambam.

There are no covid vaccination requirements. You can be totally unvaccinated.
The one excellent outcome, certainly, is that the adulteress Diana never got the undeserved title of Queen that she strongly coveted.
College today is 1,000 times worse than 50 years ago, when the Gedolei Yisroel, even back then, said it is forbidden.
Jackk: Hilary was a bigger political nobody when she used her last name and husband to run for the Senate.
This Kennedy is a lot better than Ted Kennedy ever was.
Hadofi: You’re agreeing with the point. As the girls get more secular education than the boys, and yet there’s no evidence boys have a greater OTD issue than girls, there’s no correlation between less secular ed and OTD.
interjection: very high rate is an exaggeration. But your point about girls does refute the premise that the fault is about too much Limudei/too little secular.
You can go to the kever of the Chofetz Chaim’s Rebbetzin in Queens as well.
Avira, Yasher Koach. You’ve said everything that needs to be said on this.
You didn’t hear about the curse the Rov put on the Kennedy family?
Avram, Philly is really a bit NY-like? It’s been a long time since I was there, but I believe it was in suburban Philadelphia where we were behind more than a handful of cars waiting for the light, and when it went green the car in front for some reason took almost 30 seconds to start moving. And not a single car blew their horn. They all waited like they had all the time in the world. It impressed me so much I still remember it decades later.
If driving customs are based on local minhagim, how is anyone not from the area to know what the local driving customs are, given that there are thousands of different jurisdictions in the United States alone, with most people coming from any one particular area but potentially driving through many other areas outside their own town or city.
