Reb Eliezer, it depends whether you’re Orthodox or not. (I assume you’re Orthodox.)
CY: Sorry, I just noticed your post directed to me. I don’t recall when I first noticed your new thread, but the timestamps generally reflect the time the mod approved it for a regular post; I recall, though, that OPs/new threads have some weird behavior and the timestamp on the OP itself is different than the timestamp on the main page for the thread (until it gets additional posts on the thread.)
As far as it being objectionable, absolutely not; there’s nothing objectionable about it whatsoever.
Dr. Pepper, I’ve had the practice of emailing him a few times a year, before each Yom Tov, over the last decade. (And cc:ing it to his alt email, in case he didn’t check the other.)
Bill Clinton set the record for a lying politician. He was disbarred while in office, in addition to having been impeached for perjury.
Quick quote from Rabbi Dr. Benzion Twerski:
Every frum Yid benefits from the things that askanim do. From intervening with governmental matters, legal issues, dealing with yeshivos, getting streets blocked for various events, and others too numerous to mention, we all derive much benefit from what they do. Nearly all, or perhaps absolutely all, function selflessly. Hatzoloh, Shomrim, and Chaverim are totally volunteer staffed.
Rabbi Dr. Benzion Twerski is a renowned and much sought-after mental health professional who holds a Ph.D. in psychology from University of Pittsburgh. He lives and practices in Brooklyn.
Gadol: There’s at least one famous picture of one of the gedolim playing chess on nittul nacht.
Send him to DailyKos, where Dr. Charlie Hall will fix him good.
When your opponent forfeits the game, you win by default.

Checkmate.
“They even wouldn’t mention Yom Ha’atzmaut.”
They wouldn’t mention Christmas either.
“It would be better” isn’t “speaking out” against.
DaMoshe: Your ideas from where you’ve “studied the arguments between the early chassidim and the misnagdim” that you’re expressing here come from the secular academics who hate Torah Judaism and invented falsehoods on all this.
MDD, why would anyone take seriously your “disagreements” with Rav Chaim, considering that you “do not accept everything Reb Chaim said”.
And what’s wrong to compare the Zionists to the Nazis, considering that the Zionists teamed up with the Nazis during the Holocaust to accomplish their mutual goals.
Pirkei Avos has the answer to this question.
It means the fellow who is yelling troll violently disagrees with the comments of the poster he’s calling a troll.
Yseribus: Agreed 100%.
CY: Try again. Perhaps tone down anything perceivably objectionable.
catch yourself: what was the subject of it?
The Right supports protecting religious rights, bris mila, schechita, building shuls in residential neighborhoods, kapporos, wearing religious clothing in public, marrying our children at young ages, having many children, protecting us from minority violent criminals, educating our children in Yeshivos according to Torah standards rather than government standards, etc.
Whereas, it is the Left than opposes Jews on the above issues.
SQUARE: The Chareidi Olam has a much much less Shidduch Crisis than the non-Chareidi Olam. And within the Chareidi Olam, Chasidim, who have even greater stringencies on the inter-gender issues that you’re ranting about, have an even smaller Shidduch Crisis than other Chareidim who are less strict about it.
Yo, is this a Christian thread?

That old canard again?
Chabad is “Heimish”?
YO (Ye): You’re still counting based on the years of Yushke?
Well said.
Yasher Koach
HaGaon HaRav Ephraim Wachsman shlita and HaGaon HaRav Avrohom Schorr shlita are about the same temperament and hashkafa?
AAQ: Chazal give the story of Yochanon Kohen Godol as THE example EVERYONE needs to learn from. Namely, say Chazal, to NEVER think you’re “fortified” and safe, as you constantly pontificate.
“By this time, B’H the young person had about 15 years of Jewish schooling. Should we expect that they are able to fortify themselves by this time (I presume parents, friends and community did not abandon them)?”
Extremely foolish comment for multiple reasons. To take one, Yochanon Kohen Godol was the tzadik and Kohen Godol for 80 years when he became an apikorus tzeduki.
But he was fortified, you say!
He doesn’t have to ask a woman. There are more appropriate and effective ways to accomplish the goal better, more efficiently and, most importantly, more Halachicly appropriately.
The fewer divorces among the chasidim may be due to their having traditional marriages the way it was done throughout Jewish history, without them updating to an American romantic fairytale “marriage”.
Shimon hates Yiddishkeit. He doesn’t have a right to express his opinion here on Jewish topics.
Thank you for sharing your boich svara.
I see that Rabbeinu Ha”Gadol” has already given the correct teretz.
Future doros will learn from these teshvos.
Google remember your previous manually typed words. When you type something similar in the future, it’ll suggest your custom database of words, even if it isn’t an official English word.
Florida is no longer purple or a swing state. Florida has moved decisively to the right and is now solidly red.
Of all people in the world, Donald Trump is thale least antisemitic of all. Donald Trump is a proven, lifetime (i.e. reputationally and actionably long before he entered politics through his presidency), Oheiv Yisroel. Klal Yisroel has few friends from Umos Haolam as good as Donald Trump.
This is a farcial meaningless so-called “poll” that was designed to produce the Democrat desired results.
The Democrats have been the party tolerating, accepting, welcoming and honoring antisemites, especially black antisemites, for many many decades. Whereas the Republicans have institutionally rejected antisemites.
YeshivaGuy45:
Ruach Hakodesh certainly exists today.
This is Avira’s response to the OP (from the other thread with the OP’s duplicate post):
Chaimish – Rav Gamliel Rabinowitz is known as a true mekubal and is accepted by the litvishe and chasidishe community.
Yes.
Then there are the folks who are smart enough to know which rabbi to ask which questions in the first place. They know Rabbis A, B and C don’t allow what they want to do. But Rabbi D is known to allow it. So after they did their rabbinical research they first ask Rabbi D. When the next question comes up that their research told them Rabbi D doesn’t allow, they find out that Rabbi X allows it. So, obviously, Rabbi X is their first phone call for that question.
This way no one could ever accuse them of Heter-Shopping, since they never asked a second rabbi for a different answer after not liking what the first one pakened.
That’s why it’s good to have friends to ask which rabbi to call for what questions.
Of course there are some rabbis who just let about anything. They can be relied upon for any question.
“Once a Rav assers you cannot ask another Rav for a heter”
Once a Rav matirs, can you ask another Rav for an issur?
Disabled Yidden also struggle with be given a sense of belonging. So do mentally ill Yidden. Unmarried Yidden aren’t allowed to daven for the Amud on the Yomin Noraim and have other Halachic restrictions. The fix for the unmarried is to find them shidduchim. The fix for the other aforementioned Yidden with this issue are more difficult to help.
ubiq: What would be YOUR answer/solution to that unanswered question you quoted?
I have my Israeli passport always ready in case Iran is about to attack and I need to fly out of Tel Aviv ASAP.
Reb CTL,
Do you anticipate that at some future point you’d want a shidduch? What general age range would you consider, and why wouldn’t you consider below the lower end of your range?
Are Roster:
Only the first two per Yeshiva get a monetary prize? That’ll be enough? Afterwards the rush might peter out.
And every small Yeshiva and large Yeshiva will get the same two?
Reb CTL,
On the somewhere brighter side, you’re making Are Roster (see comment above) happy by alleviating his #1 takeaway from the study; namely that single girls who marry divorced/widower men take away shidduchim from divorced girls.
That vital point made,

You think Beis Din didn’t prosecute murderers if they technically couldn’t issue a death penalty verdict?
Are Roster & Meir G:
Please share a very detailed explanation of what YOUR SOLUTION to this problem is.
Thank you
