Tylenol.

I know nothing of the dispute you’re referring to, but despite the position on that dispute that you’ve taken and enumerated, even assuming you have the basics correct, it can be well assumed that the hechsher had legs for their statement and/or had a legitimate reason to believe what they stated — even if their might have been another legitimate side to the dispute.
ujmParticipantBesalel: The intermarriage rate in Israel is much higher than acknowledged. This is because of the huge number of fake conversions the Zionists conduct. These Goyim then, often, marry real Jews, but statistically they’re not counted as intermarriage since the Goyim are counted as Jews.
Baltimore: Many of those Russians are Halachic Goyim.
ujmParticipantWas their hechsher any worse than OU?
ujmParticipantThey’ve been trying to change that law for decades, already, without success.
March 28, 2023 7:08 pm at 7:08 pm in reply to: Should girls wait for older sisters to get married? #2177983ujmParticipantChazal tell us to check out a girl’s brothers, and insure that they are of good caliber, before deciding to marry her. Because your children will inherit the same traits as your wife’s brothers.
ujmParticipantLakewhut: It’s better to live in Southern Lebanon than in Eilat.
The Canadian police and army also protects Jews.
ujmParticipantBecause we make a misheberach for the President. Not for the army. And not for a foreign country and army.
March 27, 2023 10:17 pm at 10:17 pm in reply to: Lessons Learned from the False Arrest of the Innocent Tzadik in Flatbush #2177588ujmParticipantN0: Qualified immunity only applies to the officers as individuals; it does not protect the department or entity as a whole.
ujmParticipantAssuming the anarchists in Israel end their shutdown of Ben Gurion airport; as of now their are no flights into or out of the State of Israel.
March 27, 2023 12:18 pm at 12:18 pm in reply to: Lessons Learned from the False Arrest of the Innocent Tzadik in Flatbush #2177405ujmParticipantBravo!
Does the “condemn all Jews’ crowd of Dofi, Dorah, Amil, et al wish to comment?
Or, perhaps, they were hoping that once the news cycle ended with reports of false accusations of criminal behavior — but the complete exoneration of an innocent and upright citizen is never reported by the same hate based “mainstream news media”, that we’d all forget about their immediate condemnations.
ujmParticipantMods, “benToiroh’s” posts have been going straight to spam for the last half of week.
March 26, 2023 3:41 pm at 3:41 pm in reply to: Should girls wait for older sisters to get married? #2177044ujmParticipant5TR: You didn’t date until your older brother got engaged? How old were you when your brother got engaged? How old were you when you got engaged?
Also, you say he “waited till he was 30”. He took his time/wasn’t ready or he was actively looking but didn’t find till then?
ujmParticipantAvira, would you consider many MO conversions potentially invalid, given the issues you outlined?
ujmParticipantThe RCA prenup results in a Get Me’usa when the husband gives a Get to avoid the monetary costs stipulated in the prenup even though he doesn’t otherwise want to give it (despite having signed before marriage). This is despite the RCA’s verbal gymnastics trying to call it mezonos, when al pi Halacha it is too high a dollar figure to be considered mezonos (even if you try calling it that) and it is Halachicly considered a knaas (which even his original agreement doesn’t alleviate the Halachic problem of knaas) to pressure him to divorce; and thereby resulting in a Get Me’usa.
ujmParticipantN0: False citation of Rambam. Rambam absolutely does not say these two groups have the same extent and degree of arayos issues as each other. They are most certainly far from equal between the two groups I cited.
ujmParticipantYseribus: A plain and fresh programmer straight out of college with a BS, can make six figures or close to it.
ujmParticipantAJ: It is Halachicly forbidden to have a girlfriend. (See Igros Moshe E.H. 4:60 for the Halachic citations.) The crowd that openly has girlfriends and proudly watches Hollywood flicks with miniskirted (and far worse) people is obviously going to have far more arayos than the crowd that doesn’t have girlfriends or watch movies.
March 24, 2023 5:12 pm at 5:12 pm in reply to: Why did the Brisker Rav zt”l call giving brachos “shtusim”? #2176773ujmParticipanttakah is a tziyoni. He doesn’t like old fashioned Yiddishkeit.
ujmParticipantN0m: Some JTS rabbis also learned in BMG.
Arayos is absolutely a far larger provided by the left-wing crowds, such as the YU oilem that large numbers have girlfriends openly and have no compunctious viewing Hollywood pritzus even publicly.
ujmParticipantYseribus: What is your day to day function employed as a computer scientist?
ujmParticipantThe first step is to rent your own (possibly studio) apartment to live on your own.
ujmParticipantYseribus: What is your line of work and does your type of position generally earn significantly more than a computer programmer?
March 23, 2023 10:26 am at 10:26 am in reply to: Achievement for Haredi female students in Math VS Hebrew / Open University #2176163ujmParticipantRav Matisyahu Salomon shlita said that the Kollel guys with wives who graduated college and are employed in the outside world are generally the first ones to leave Kollel.
ujmParticipantCalling out to Syag (again)…
ujmParticipantReb Dorah:
That’s the second “rare agreement” you’ve had with me in two days.
I’m starting to detect a trend. I always knew that with enough effort on my part even you’d start coming around.
Winning one heart at a time…
ujmParticipantDofi: Generally by Ocean Liners.
March 23, 2023 12:28 am at 12:28 am in reply to: Achievement for Haredi female students in Math VS Hebrew / Open University #2176146ujmParticipant“If your worried about women going out, kol kevuda…”
N0: Why “If”? Kol Kevuda is specifically cited in Shulchan Aruch (and Rambam) as actual Halacha. It’s a mandatory and obligatory part of Jewish life.
ujmParticipantCTL: Just to preempt your comment about a NYC public school teacher posting a terrible run-on sentence, I do not put as much effort (at all) into the grammar of my comments in a very active online discussion as I put into my dissertation.
March 22, 2023 11:40 pm at 11:40 pm in reply to: Achievement for Haredi female students in Math VS Hebrew / Open University #2176121ujmParticipantN0m: Neither of them worked on Wall Street.
The Gemorah says Michal bas Shaul Hamelech wore Tefilin. Some also say that Rashi’s daughters wore Tefilin and that Chana Rochel Schumacher of Ludmir wore Tefilin. Should we introduce Tefilin into our Bais Yaakov’s?
March 22, 2023 11:40 pm at 11:40 pm in reply to: Why did the Brisker Rav zt”l call giving brachos “shtusim”? #2176120ujmParticipantThe world follows the Chazon Ish (and Rav Chaim) on this issue.
Rav Brog is an einekel of Rav Miller.
ujmParticipantDr. Pepper, I’m not an expert on this issue, but is the public school systems in suburbia as bad as those in the major cities? I somehow got the impression that often well to do parents move to towns known to have decent to good (or better) public schools that are in another league compared to major cities.
ujmParticipantHaving never flown first class (and not missing it either) I am curious what justifies such a significant cost to spend several hours in? Anyone have thoughts?
ujmParticipantDear N0: You and yseribus are changing the goal line of this train of thought. The only point relevant here is that this third-world style persecution pioneered by those in power in Venezuela, Russia, Cuba, China and Iran and picked up by the Democrats in power in the US attempting to use government power to “prosecute” their political enemy based on a novel legal theory for an act that occurred 7 years ago and the DA in office at the time didn’t prosecute and the newly elected Democrat hack DA also decided wasn’t prosecution material, despite having overtly campaigned for the office of DA promising to persecute his party’s political enemy, until his far left woke constituency demanded he reverse his decision not to prosecute, to which he complied.
March 22, 2023 3:01 pm at 3:01 pm in reply to: Achievement for Haredi female students in Math VS Hebrew / Open University #2175914ujmParticipantDorah: You have a misconception of what “living a torah life” entails. The OO crowd also claims to be “living a torah life”.
There is a contradiction between careerism with Kol Kevuda, tznius and the proper role of Yiddishe mamas. And the contradiction is especially pronounced even employed daily in a secular or non-Jewish work environment.
ujmParticipantI hear that Turkish Airlines is quite popular.
ujmParticipantMany 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).
ujmParticipantDear N0,
No. This discussed hatred of Trump didn’t exist by all these folks prior to Trump entering politics.
March 21, 2023 4:57 pm at 4:57 pm in reply to: Achievement for Haredi female students in Math VS Hebrew / Open University #2175564ujmParticipantDofi: 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.
ujmParticipantMidwest: Where did you hear that’s the reason they closed?
ujmParticipantCA, how old is your son?
ujmParticipantmentsch1: 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.
ujmParticipantDear 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.
ujmParticipantYseribus: There’s no way to avoid the rampant pritzus on any American college campus.
March 21, 2023 12:05 pm at 12:05 pm in reply to: Achievement for Haredi female students in Math VS Hebrew / Open University #2175424ujmParticipantMen are supposed to primarily go out into the world. Women are supposed to primarily be in the home.
ujmParticipantcommonsaychel: You’re sure that isn’t a tzeilim on your necklace??
ujmParticipantAAQ: The Sephardim still price shadchanus in the Spanish Lira or in the Ottoman Kuruş?
March 21, 2023 12:37 am at 12:37 am in reply to: Conscientious objectors Haredi VS lefty secularistts #2175282ujmParticipantAAQ: It’s been almost unheard of, even historically, for a rabbi to need approval by the local government to be a rabbi.
