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.
CA: The argument presented was that it is nullified because the Goyim gave permission. But the Goyim only gave permission for a small part of what the Zionists took.
If the Goyim gave permission to make a state just in, say, Sfas, it is illogical to claim the vows are nullified and they can take 100x what the Goyim gave them.
CA/RW: So what? The point that was advanced here was that the Shalosh Shavuos was nullified because the United Nations gave permission for a Jewish State. If that’s the basis to nullify the Shalosh Shavuos, then on that basis the nullification is only applicable to the Jewish zone and not to the Jerusalem (international) zone or to the Arab zone, since no permission from the UN (or from the British) was ever granted over those territories.
A later war isn’t a basis to nullify the Shalosh Shavuos.
“Britain agreed to the vote so that’s why it was binding”
Okay. The original vote split Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state, with Jerusalem being an international zone. In that case, Israel only has permission to control the original Jewish zone and not the Jerusalem zone or the Arab zone.
Syag, you’ve been MIA for too long. Your absence is felt.
Good Shabbos
What could be possibly wrong with a Cuomo Bridge?
Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, the Interboro Parkway…
If the UN vote permitting a State is binding, then the UN votes partitioning Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state, with Jerusalem being an international zone, (and future UN votes demanding Israel leave the Arab zones) is equally binding.
On purim it is appropriate to be drunk. On purim it is the proper Chinuch to show children Yidden are drunk.
What was the instructions that you posed to the AI robot that generated the OP as its response?
Avira, excellent points. Yasher Koach.
Shimon: Don’t kid yourself. There are numerous very clear shittos to get completely, totally and utterly stone drunk, ad dlo yoda. And numerous Gedolei Yisroel, Talmidei Chochomim, Ehrliche Yidden and Poshuta Yidden, both past and present, have annually gotten completely drunk in full accordance with the Mitzvah, L’sheim Shamayim.
Have you ever learnt Gemorah?
Numerous gedolim, both past and present, get stone drunk on Purim.
Please post the AI summary of this.
MDD: Perhaps most gedolim don’t follow his shitta (I didn’t take a survey to know one way or another), but what is for certain is that NO gedolim whatsoever follow the Zionist/Mirachi/Daati Leumi/Modern Orthodox shittas.
AAQ: Do you deny the validity, importance or existence of the Rambam’s Igerres Teiman?
More of the Weissman garbage. You might as well put out what the AI at ChatGPT says about this. It would be more intelligent than the OP.
MDD: Provide a source, if it exists, regarding your claim about Rav Yoel zt’l.
You are supposed to get stone drunk on Purim. What the Rebbeum are doing by getting drunk is the best Chinuch for Purim.
BTW, I take full credit for Reb Volf having this massive annual hangup about his failing to get drunk on Purim. If you’ll look through the forum archives you’ll find me needling him for it year after year. It’s left a deep scar on his psych.
All the in Purim spirit, of course!
AAQ: Au contraire. Today, in modern liberal politically correct society, it is popular and brownie-points awarding, to say do not drink/I don’t drink. We have to worry that those who wear a sign saying I don’t drink on purim/I don’t get drunk on purim, are saying so to sound politically correct and goodie -goodies rather than any interest in doing the Mitzvah correctly.
On the other hand, those that the whole year barely drink, but on purim force themselves against their natural inclination to get drink purely lsheim Mitzvah, are true heroes.
MDD: It is definitely a far far greater chilul Hashem to be frei in Eretz Yisroel than in Chutz L’aretz.
Dorah: ad shelo yadah is, by definition, the opposite of moderation.
Dorah: Bush II’s verbal gaffes were nothing remotely comparable to Biden.
What did Mir do in Shanghai?
Zev: There’s a shitta that allows an alternative to getting drunk, so you’re not sinning according to every shitta.
Is regularly biking on the city roads risky?
What do Chabad shlichim and other Jews living in areas unclear which side of the international date line do regarding Shabbos, etc?
Avira, how were the prewar demographics different than today’s demographics?
Reb Yosef: I think Eretz Yisroel was even more dominated by Litvaks before the war than today.
Reb Yosef: Excellent point.
Menachem, can you give some examples of the creatures you’re referring to?
Democrats have played the race card and the sex card victim politics for many decades already. Claims of racism and sexism ring hollow and mean nothing more than politics as usual.
“First, Chananya Weissman has made shidduchim by directly introducing Jewish singles to each other, who are now married to each other.”
So now he’s a Shadchan, too? A Shadchan who is against Shadchanim; this must be a first.
“Second, Chananya Weissman has made shidduchim by personally organizing over 100 events for Jewish singles.
Third, Chananya Weissman has made shidduchim by encouraging mixed-seating at Jewish weddings”
Your “Second” and “Third” result in more boys/girls hookups than shidduchim. I know that proponents are in denial about this fact, but just take a little visit to the Upper West Side, where the “frum” hookup culture thrives on these events.
