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).
Dear N0,
No. This discussed hatred of Trump didn’t exist by all these folks prior to Trump entering politics.
Dofi: The Gedolim may have accepted that they might have to earn some money doing a job locally, at home or in a Jewish environment. What they never accepted, despite your unfounded protestations to the contrary — and what you’ll never find evidence you can present us with, is that they ever allowed, permitted or advocated that frum woman work in Manhattan, Tel Aviv, etc., in secular gentile culture workplaces.
Midwest: Where did you hear that’s the reason they closed?
CA, how old is your son?
mentsch1: The OP’s underlying point, as has been for the past several years in his comments, is that girls’ moms’ are unfairly relying on shidduch references to reject a first date with him.
Dear N0,
You don’t need to be competing for the same office as Trump to hate him. Indeed, most of his political enemies aren’t running against him.
Yseribus: There’s no way to avoid the rampant pritzus on any American college campus.
Men are supposed to primarily go out into the world. Women are supposed to primarily be in the home.
commonsaychel: You’re sure that isn’t a tzeilim on your necklace??
AAQ: The Sephardim still price shadchanus in the Spanish Lira or in the Ottoman Kuruş?
AAQ: It’s been almost unheard of, even historically, for a rabbi to need approval by the local government to be a rabbi.
maskildoresh: Thank you for your comment. But why would you exclude the Kol Kevuda aspect?
Amil, Ari’s been posting here for years how terrible the girls’ mothers’ are in rejecting dates with him for all kinds of illegitimate reasons.
Doesn’t Touro College do what you are demanding?
Get refusal can be legitimate or illegitimate, depending on the circumstances and ruling of Beis Din. By default, a husband is under no obligation to give a Get even if asked for one. Unless, that is, he committed a wrong proven in Beis Din where Beis Din rules that wrong obligates him per Halacha to give a Get. But there’s a only a small set of circumstances under Halacha that obligate giving a Get against his will. Absent those conditions it is within his rights to decide to decline a request for a Get.
CTL: Even the left acknowleges that Bragg is using a novel legal theory to bring this “prosecution”. Additionally, Bragg rejected prosecuting this a year ago. but he came under intense political pressure from the left to change his mind. Furthermore, his predecessor didn’t prosecute this, even though this incident is 7 years old. And as mentioned earlier, Bragg campaigned for the office of DA promising to prosecute Trump, before he was even elected.
Mentsch1: That’s no different than if a college student is accused of being a drug dealer based on non-solid circumstancial evidence, during the course which he admitted to stealing a pen, but was convicted perhaps wrongly of the drug dealing and sentenced to 25 years, and you’re okay with that since he stole a pen anyways.
Yseribus: I’m seriously trying to encourage following Torah Yiddishkeit as always practiced and discourage switching away from that towards a now Western/American worldview.
Mentsch1: Can you name that bakery?
These places secularize former Beis Yaakov girls.
CTL: The DA in Manhattan organizing this political persecution of his political enemy, much the same way they do in Venezuela, Russia, Cuba, and Iran, is an elected position. And Bragg is a Democrat political hack who made political promises during his election for DA on who he will prosecute and who not.
AAQ: One need not be approved by the government to be a clergyman. It isn’t the government’s business to approve religious activities.
AAQ: False. They are claiming that the mesorah is to be just as educated today as we were 100 years ago, 250 years ago and 1,000 years ago. None of those periods included a secular studies curriculum for the masses of bochorim. It did include a highly rigorous Biblical and Talmudical curriculum. That, both then and now, is far from being your characterization of “willfully ignorant”. It is only your ideology that all our zeidas were “willfully ignorant”, and that only when we came off the boat to America and adhered to secular mandates on what to teach that Klal Yisroel became less ignorant than our forefathers.
Amir: Even those that learned a trade at a young age (which was NOT a majority at the age you cited) never stopped Limud Torah. Indeed, Limud Torah has been a lifetime commitment of Yidden throughout Jewish history.
AAQ, mentsch1: If you’re willing to throw a man in prison for life for stealing, since under the Sheva Mitzvos he’s chayiv an even worse punishment, are you also advocating a college kid who admitted he stole a $2 notebook from his school (or that he committed adultery) be thrown into prison for life (based on another more severe accusation he’s convicted of based on circumstantial evidence that doesn’t solidly prove guilt on that other count)?
Yseribus: Are you trying to claim that in the pre-Holocaust era it was common for Mesivtas in Europe to offer a secular studies curriculum that most bochorim attended?
Avira, Loyal: Don’t we have a mitzvah bzman hazeh to eliminate Amalek?
“That’s what I paid total.”
How long ago?
It is absolutely the case that the Roshei Yeshivos since Rav Ahron supported a no secular studies arrangement in Mesivtas under ideal circumstances. The various Roshei Yeshivos may have had different opinions of what ideal circumstances were that allowed a Mesivta to forgo a secular curriculum. Some felt that many parents wouldn’t send their children to a Mesivta with no English so they permitted secular subjects to prevent the bochorim from being sent to worse schools. Others may have felt other criteria needed to be considered whether to allow or forbid secular studies.
Yseribus: Why are you limiting your view to the post-Holocaust era? The pre-Holocaust era is much longer and more important to authentic Yiddishkeit. In the pre-Holocaust era in Europe secular studies was by far the exception by Chareidim, both Litvish and Chasidish. In fact, secular studies was especially rare pre-WWI and still by far the exception pre-WWII.
How do WhatsApp status do anything?
Avira, I agree with what you’re saying. I’ll just add that sometimes on this forum there’s a suspicion a poster is making an imaginary tumult rather than anyone not taking a real situation seriously.
Yseribus: Au contraire. Since Rav Ahron’s times the Roshei Yeshivos advocated no secular studies. But in earlier generations the Roshei Yeshivos couldn’t widely implement such a Yeshiva program since the parents refused to send their children to Yeshivos with no secular studies; so the Yeshivos were forced to offer secular in order that the parents shouldn’t send their children to worse Yeshivos.
Nowadays many of the parents have come around and agree with Rav Ahron and the Roshei Yeshivos, and are willing to send their children to Yeshivos with no secular studies.
Baruch Hashem!
The 2008 bailout was smart and vital, even though it was politically toxic, since the bailout prevented a much worse economic disaster.
Obviously the Roshei Yeshiva *today* not only agree with Rav Ahron Kotler that high schools shouldn’t have secular studies, but they believe the imperative today to eschew secular studies is even stronger than in Rav Ahron’s time as it has been more successfully implemented today than when Rav Ahron advocated this practice.
Rav Ahron Kotler encouraged high schools, already in his time, to have no secular studies.
And Jews were killed in revenge for his attack
It’s seems clear to me that the OP is referring to someone who passed away in the current news cycle.
Who is sponsoring today’s pie?

You should also speak to Christopher Wray: (202) 324-3000
The best teshuva is to start taking the prescribed meds.
Rabbi Cohen is an excellent choice to speak to about this.
Square: Whatever Mr. Weissman suggests, do the opposite.
N0m: please give the different possible definitions of a Yeshiva that you refer to.
N0m: Do you also believe no parent can keep their teens off drugs? Away from girls? Not to shoplift?
The OP’s break was two years, not nine years. It’s still notable.
You only need to pay a Shadchan for a successfully made shidduch.
