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?
(Please use a restaurant with a universally accepted hechsher.)
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.
Which kids are on Instagram?
AJ: My first hand community work on the issue in multiple municipalities.
DaMoshe: While .08 puts you unambiguously over the legal limit, any amount of alcohol consumption inhibits your ability to drive and reduces your inhibitions, reaction time and vision. You can be arrested for DUI even if you are under the limit and for safety reasons (even if you think you won’t be arrested) you should refrain from driving after any alcohol, even if you are under the limit.
DaMoshe: How “small” was the amount of wine you drank and what leads you to believe that it is small enough that you can drive after consummating it?
Reb Volf: Refuah Shelamo
A much greater proportion of students in Yeshivos that offer secular studies are teens-at-risk than students in Yeshivos that offer little to no secular studies.
If the argument is based on reducing the number of teens at risk, the better argument is that those Yeshivos still offering secular studies should drop their secular curriculum.
Yeshiva kids do quite well as fabulous Yidden even without knowing American history or earth science.
ConcernedMember: A standing panel of judges who are educated in the law and of known high moral character would certainly be far better than 12 random people off the street.
mentsch1: Beis Din executing outside the normal rules, that you refer to, can do so for any widespread societal issue. If there’s a lack of tznius problem they can execute every woman in public with uncovered knees or wearing pants.
Have you ever seen a Walmart selling live crickets as food? I have. You can advocate executing half or more of the gentiles in the country for violating the Sheva Mitzvos against eating a living creature, and thereby being chayiv misa.
And as the Rambam defines Christianity as Avoda Zora, you can advocate it for all Christians, even the ones with a phobia of eating crickets.
And how many Goyim aren’t guilty at some point of stealing a pen in school or in the office, anyways, even if they aren’t Christian and don’t eat crickets.
mentsch1: that’s may be if his guilt is certain but he got off on a technicality. Like, there was 100 witnesses to him murdering someone but no one warned him (or only one person warned him) in advance. Not if his guilt is in doubt, even if it appears more likely than not that he’s guilty.
When there’s doubt, it’s far better to risk letting a guilty man go free than to risk an innocent man spending his life in prison.
CA: And where do you see that poetic license is permitted?
Two additional points:
1. Using 12 random people off the street, in a system that proudly insists on including lowlives, drunks and the homeless in the jury pool, who are experts in nothing, can be uneducated in basic life and are of no particular moral standing, to decide the fate of an accused’s life, is the height of rishus.
2. There’s a necessary tension regarding either giving the benefit of the doubt to the accused and acquitting him if his guilt is uncertain, even if his guilt is likely yet unproven — versus not giving him the benefit of the doubt if guilt is likely but unproven, and thereby convicting him in such circumstances, essentially using a system of guilty unless proven innocent. In a moral system we use the rule of innocent unless proven guilty; America claims to follow this principle but actually that claim is a lie as they frequently convict innocent men, and certainly often convict accuseds whose guilt was clearly not proven.
3. Correction to typo in previous post above: It should read “AFTER a month long trial” (not ‘street’).
Milhouse:
A. Specifically what proof existed that he’s guilty? There isn’t any.
B. Circumstantial evidence is, by definition, not proof. Even with circumstantial evidence the accused can be innocent despite the existence of circumstantial evidence.
C. In Beis Din circumstantial evidence can never be sufficient to find guilty of murder.
They jury came to a guilty verdict after three hours of deliberations in a single afternoon, street a month long trial chock full of contradictory complicated testimony and detailed evidence from both sides.
The American justice system is a farce.
Jack, thank you for sharing. In short, Rav Miller is saying to get drunk but not too drunk.
He also acknowledges other shittos (than his own) that hold that you should get very drunk. And even cites one of his rebbeim that gave alcohol to his talmidim to get them drunker than they already were.
Jack, Rav Miller was a proponent of getting drunk on Purim.
guteyid is absolutely correct. It was Rav Ahron who said to not have secular studies in Mesivta.
You can get it for much less.
Avira, kuvult’s comments generally reek of sarcasm where he intends to generate criticism of what he’s saying.
So start a thread that you find interesting and worthy of discussion.
Much better than complaining.
Albert Einstein was a Baal Aveira.
Dear YWN Username:
The very term “significant other” is a disgusting goyish terminology. We Yidden only have a Choson/Kallah or a Husband/Wife. Nothing else and nothing in-between. Until a couple is engaged they are strangers to each other, no different than when they first met on their first date. It is pure pritzus for any outsider to refer or discuss them as a thing or for either of them to discuss their dating, whomever he/she is, with someone other than their parents/rebbeim.
One thing you didn’t clarify in your previous posts is what time of the day, each afternoon, you are dismissed from high school.
The Palace or Tiferes Mordechai.
There’s always a man bites dog.
Rav Volf shlit”a: When your old talmid 50minus in early February expressed his sentiment of missing you, you had been MIA since last September.
CA: Is your reply to me supposed to be a rejoinder to my point?
CA: The kehila in Klal Yisroel that is the most anti-“shtultz”is Satmar.
Try coming to a Friday night minyan (with or without children) for the first time, where no one knows you, in any Satmar Shul dressed in the most opposite of Chasidish clothing (or Litvish, MO, or Chasidish if you want), and you probably won’t receive less than 10 invitations to come home with someone for the Shabbos seuda.
Which part of North America is also part of the European Union?
N0m: If that’s addressed to me, that term was only used once in the history of the CR before this thread. And that once was 13 years ago.
takah: You didn’t learn the term HC in the CR. You got that from the blogs that are anti-YW.
You should be asking the Mashgiach.
It’s entertainment. And a fad.
