AAQ: Don’t forget to include in your “Joint Siyum” the “shitot” of Yeshivat Chovevei Torah, Yeshivat Maharat, the International Rabbinic Fellowship, and the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale.
Some of the prominent “Talmidei Chachamim” you might invite include Rabbi Avi Weiss, Rabbi Asher Lopatin, Rabbi Shmuel Herzfeld, Rabbi Ysoscher Katz, Rabbi Daniel Sperber, Rabbi Zev Farber, Rabba Sara Hurwitz and Maharat Ruth Friedman.
Thank you for you non-partisanship!
It is the same top notch Yeshiva it has always been.
And Rav Pinchos Scheinberg zt’l learnt in the Beis Medrash LeRabonim yeshiva, in New Haven, famous for being Torah-only — with zero secular studies.
DaMoshe: It has nothing to do with the Scots or Scotsmen. Theoretically, perhaps, YU could have produced a godol; if not for its krum hashkafas that are kneged HaTorah. But given that YU is what it is, it had about as much chance of producing a godol as the Princeton Theological Seminary has.
Square: Rav Pinchas Scheinberg zt’l was a talmid in Mir (in Poland) and in Kaminetz (also in Poland, at the time.) That’s how he became a godol. Not because went to NYC public school and YU (both of which he passed through).
DaMoshe: You have a different bar for who you call a godol.
anon1m0us: YU never produced a single godol in all its history. Some godol’s may have taken a job there as a rebbi to try to be mekarev some of the students there, in the early years when that may have still been possible. But they were not products, themselves, of YU.
Mr. Weissman had posted on YWN about 10 or so years ago.
Rav Ahron Kotler refused to enter the YU building even when one of his students levaya was inside. Instead, he stood outside.
somejewiknow: Excellent point. Yasher Koach.
HaKatan: That is powerful statements you shared from Rav Elchonon hy’d and from the Brisker Rov ztvk’l. Everyone should pay heed to them.
Yasher Koach
Hagaon Harav Elchonon Wasserman hy’d already wrote (the Ksav Yad is available), as far back as in 1940, that it is better to physically die at the hands of the Nazis ym’s rather than be saved from physical death by Yeshiva University and then be spiritually murdered by YU.
Aside from the fact that the high likelihood was that the crime was committed by an intruder into the building, hypothetically if a Yid (including any who dormed there at the time it occurred) had a “hunch” or assumption or theory or suspicion, he would be prohibited to share it with any nochri or authority due to mesira. Especially as there’s no ongoing threat to safety.
Supporting its security from Arab terrorism and war is not support for Zionism or the State. Far from it.
Jews in London, New York and Los Angeles have all the same rights to voice their opinion about Eretz Yisroel, as Jews in Tel Aviv and Haifa. And if someone doesn’t like that, that’s just too bad.
In fact, Torah observant Jews in Jews in London, New York and Los Angeles have *more* right to strongly express their opinions than non-observant Jews in Tel Aviv and Haifa.
Why was the maintenance worker not questioned again?
Kastner was killed by a fellow Zionist in revenge for Kastner being a Nazi collaborator, who worked hand in hand with Adolf Eichmann to murder over half a million of his fellow Hungarian Jews.
Kastner was even found guilty of Nazi collaboration by a Zionist court, Judge Halevi.
Rubio is 100% correct.
The janitor let his local accomplice in.
The Chareidi parties do NOT take a position on how to conduct the war or when to end it (or not the it).
False narrative.
ubiq/Yankel: All three of them are better than the so-called EHK. At least they openly admit to being in the company of kofrim.
And the more of the openly kofrim that win, the less there will be of Jews who wear a yarmulka and publicly and proudly associate and collude with kofrim, thereby possibly confusing true Jews.
Nu, did the so-called Eretz Hakodesh party crash and burn?
The greater Yeshiva world has always been anti-Zionist. From when we were still in Europe before the war.
Now that voting has closed by the Kefira WZO, how long will it take to confirm how badly the EHK lost?
Google Chat and Hangouts lack an audience.
Hashem is here, Hashem is there, Hashem is truly everywhere.
AAQ: Karaites are heretical Jews. Kusin/Samaritans are Safek Jews, also heretical.
A Bnei Noach is a righteous gentile.
Yes. Absolutely, someone who hid in Budapest is a Holocaust survivor.
This was never a question and isn’t one now.
DY: You have missed my entire point. It’s not about being against SA. It’s about it being backwards.
He didn’t miss your entire point. On the very next paragraph that you quoted Casual wrote:
The others respond to MS that the svarah of Chabad is weaker than the the svarah of those that light inside/eat outside, to which MS doesn’t agree. That is a subjective argument, with no answer.
No, you are exactly like most people.
Let it be pointed out that one can be a MAGA supporter, a supporter of President Donald Trump on most issues, yet disagree with him on some issues. And neither worship nor despise the President, as you put it.
In fact, that is exactly how most Americans are.
Israel doesn’t have the military capacity to completely disable Iran’s nuclear facilities without, either, US assistance or at least US military armaments. (Especially, but not limited to, bunker-busting bombs.)
Yankel: In the case you mentioned they all admitted they made a mistake. Over here RJBS and RHS have never said they made a mistake,
Yankel: They all admitted they made a mistake. RJBS and RHS have not.
Definitely an improvement.
But still the rampant loshon hora in the the main articles themselves.
Does it have a warning that it’s only for ladies?
BTW, Chabad Feminist has been MIA from this thread she started, from shortly after starting this.
DaMoshe and other MO folks: How do you feel about the fact that Rabbi J.B. Soloveitchik (as testified by Rabbi Hershel Schachter and others in addition to photographs) was close to the Lubavitcher Rebbe and held very highly of him?
AAQ: Are you really that unknowledgeable? YWN has been reporting for years, current events, where on many multiple occasions the Zionist Army forced male religious soldiers — against their explicitly expressed will and request to their commanders — to remain in attendance while army girl singers sang in the army choir.
YWN was not around in the 1950s. Search YWN.
Heimisha Guy: The Zionist Army is much worse than what you pointed out. Their army is notorious for the last 75 years of not only tolerating but even encouraging and promoting open znus within their ranks.
Furthermore, they accepted women into their army long before civilized countries around the world did. And even today the Zionists are one of the only armies in the world, other than North Korea, that actually involuntarily drafts women into their army.
“I think its fair to say that anyone who advocated to move to EY after 1917 when the baflor declaration was approved knew that by advoctaing to move there you are by default supporting zionsim.”
This is a false assumption.
I seem to recall a story where the Brisker Rov zt’l said that a certain godol (I forget the details of which and regarding what issue) was being misinformed about the nature of a certain topic, and that the people surrounding him weren’t allowing anyone to approach him to tell him what the real story is.
DaMoshe: It was a question, not a statement. I know guys who Rav Shteinman encouraged to go to YCT; because he knew the alternative was they’d go to HUC.
Toi: What *would* impress you?
DaMoshe: If Rabbi Bender is “your rebbe”, why aren’t you following his Chareidi shittas, instead of being Modern Orthodox?
