The official royal invitation to the coronation states:
“The Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III & Queen Camilla …
Queen Camilla is given equal billing to King Charles. This is also in line with tradition in how recent previous British Kings titled and referred to their wife simply as Her Majesty and Queen (generally without any reference to Consort).
mdd: You don’t think it is reasonable to Finland to fear a Russian territorial grab sometime in the next 35 years given that Russia has made territorial grabs against many neighboring states over the last 35 years?
Finland, too, was once part of the Russian Empire.
SR: OO rabbis are also never referred to as Gaon, regardless of how much they know.
Reb Eliezer, Google: coronation title queen camilla
Since when does Yated, Hamodia or YWN get to decide what anyone’s rabbinic title is? They’re just journalists; nothing more.
Her official title, in full, is now: Her Majesty Queen Camilla. She is receiving equal billing on the official invitations to the coronation of herself and the King. No more queen “consort” as part of her title.
Is every plumber who got smicha somewhere a rabbi? When calling to unclog the toilet, must we refer to him as Rabbi Finkelstein?
Turkey is blocking NATO from accepting Sweden until Sweden deports Kurdish terrorists to Turkey.
This is a transliteration to another language, using a different alphabet. There’s no official rules or right and wrong.
MDD: Why would Finland want to make a “stunt”?
akuperma: What is this “big rumble” you’re referring to?
Tylenol.

I know nothing of the dispute you’re referring to, but despite the position on that dispute that you’ve taken and enumerated, even assuming you have the basics correct, it can be well assumed that the hechsher had legs for their statement and/or had a legitimate reason to believe what they stated — even if their might have been another legitimate side to the dispute.
Besalel: The intermarriage rate in Israel is much higher than acknowledged. This is because of the huge number of fake conversions the Zionists conduct. These Goyim then, often, marry real Jews, but statistically they’re not counted as intermarriage since the Goyim are counted as Jews.
Baltimore: Many of those Russians are Halachic Goyim.
Was their hechsher any worse than OU?
They’ve been trying to change that law for decades, already, without success.
Chazal tell us to check out a girl’s brothers, and insure that they are of good caliber, before deciding to marry her. Because your children will inherit the same traits as your wife’s brothers.
Lakewhut: It’s better to live in Southern Lebanon than in Eilat.
The Canadian police and army also protects Jews.
Because we make a misheberach for the President. Not for the army. And not for a foreign country and army.
Assuming the anarchists in Israel end their shutdown of Ben Gurion airport; as of now their are no flights into or out of the State of Israel.
Mods, “benToiroh’s” posts have been going straight to spam for the last half of week.
5TR: You didn’t date until your older brother got engaged? How old were you when your brother got engaged? How old were you when you got engaged?
Also, you say he “waited till he was 30”. He took his time/wasn’t ready or he was actively looking but didn’t find till then?
Avira, would you consider many MO conversions potentially invalid, given the issues you outlined?
The RCA prenup results in a Get Me’usa when the husband gives a Get to avoid the monetary costs stipulated in the prenup even though he doesn’t otherwise want to give it (despite having signed before marriage). This is despite the RCA’s verbal gymnastics trying to call it mezonos, when al pi Halacha it is too high a dollar figure to be considered mezonos (even if you try calling it that) and it is Halachicly considered a knaas (which even his original agreement doesn’t alleviate the Halachic problem of knaas) to pressure him to divorce; and thereby resulting in a Get Me’usa.
N0: False citation of Rambam. Rambam absolutely does not say these two groups have the same extent and degree of arayos issues as each other. They are most certainly far from equal between the two groups I cited.
Yseribus: A plain and fresh programmer straight out of college with a BS, can make six figures or close to it.
AJ: It is Halachicly forbidden to have a girlfriend. (See Igros Moshe E.H. 4:60 for the Halachic citations.) The crowd that openly has girlfriends and proudly watches Hollywood flicks with miniskirted (and far worse) people is obviously going to have far more arayos than the crowd that doesn’t have girlfriends or watch movies.
takah is a tziyoni. He doesn’t like old fashioned Yiddishkeit.
N0m: Some JTS rabbis also learned in BMG.
Arayos is absolutely a far larger provided by the left-wing crowds, such as the YU oilem that large numbers have girlfriends openly and have no compunctious viewing Hollywood pritzus even publicly.
Yseribus: What is your day to day function employed as a computer scientist?
The first step is to rent your own (possibly studio) apartment to live on your own.
Yseribus: What is your line of work and does your type of position generally earn significantly more than a computer programmer?
Rav Matisyahu Salomon shlita said that the Kollel guys with wives who graduated college and are employed in the outside world are generally the first ones to leave Kollel.
Calling out to Syag (again)…
Reb Dorah:
That’s the second “rare agreement” you’ve had with me in two days.
I’m starting to detect a trend. I always knew that with enough effort on my part even you’d start coming around.
Winning one heart at a time…
Dofi: Generally by Ocean Liners.
“If your worried about women going out, kol kevuda…”
N0: Why “If”? Kol Kevuda is specifically cited in Shulchan Aruch (and Rambam) as actual Halacha. It’s a mandatory and obligatory part of Jewish life.
CTL: Just to preempt your comment about a NYC public school teacher posting a terrible run-on sentence, I do not put as much effort (at all) into the grammar of my comments in a very active online discussion as I put into my dissertation.
N0m: Neither of them worked on Wall Street.
The Gemorah says Michal bas Shaul Hamelech wore Tefilin. Some also say that Rashi’s daughters wore Tefilin and that Chana Rochel Schumacher of Ludmir wore Tefilin. Should we introduce Tefilin into our Bais Yaakov’s?
The world follows the Chazon Ish (and Rav Chaim) on this issue.
Rav Brog is an einekel of Rav Miller.
Dr. Pepper, I’m not an expert on this issue, but is the public school systems in suburbia as bad as those in the major cities? I somehow got the impression that often well to do parents move to towns known to have decent to good (or better) public schools that are in another league compared to major cities.
Having never flown first class (and not missing it either) I am curious what justifies such a significant cost to spend several hours in? Anyone have thoughts?
Dear N0: You and yseribus are changing the goal line of this train of thought. The only point relevant here is that this third-world style persecution pioneered by those in power in Venezuela, Russia, Cuba, China and Iran and picked up by the Democrats in power in the US attempting to use government power to “prosecute” their political enemy based on a novel legal theory for an act that occurred 7 years ago and the DA in office at the time didn’t prosecute and the newly elected Democrat hack DA also decided wasn’t prosecution material, despite having overtly campaigned for the office of DA promising to persecute his party’s political enemy, until his far left woke constituency demanded he reverse his decision not to prosecute, to which he complied.
Dorah: You have a misconception of what “living a torah life” entails. The OO crowd also claims to be “living a torah life”.
There is a contradiction between careerism with Kol Kevuda, tznius and the proper role of Yiddishe mamas. And the contradiction is especially pronounced even employed daily in a secular or non-Jewish work environment.
I hear that Turkish Airlines is quite popular.
Many more Roshei Yeshivos and Rabbonim will not be mesader if the RCA Prenup *was* signed, since it potentially causes mamzeirus by coercing a Get Me’usa (i.e. Kneged Halacha).
