Current thinking is Vote Republican.
smerel is correct. You can vote for Zeldin without voting for the Lieutenant Governor.
And smerel is correct that Mr. Doe above is a hypocrite for voting for Democrats who are intermarried. Of course he will neither confirm nor deny it, in order to leave it ambiguous. He can’t deny the truth, but neither can he claim a lie. So he’ll leave it unaddressed.
“Schumer claims his wife converted but I’m sure it was not an halachic conversion”
It isn’t possible to convert without becoming observant of the 613.
The New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, NPR, CBS, NBC, ABC, AP, Reuters, and virtually all the rest of Big Media are Exhibit 1 in spreading false propaganda while calling it “news”.
Zeldin. (Nevertheless, Hochul will unfortunately win.)
How is the wife more of a hero than the husband, in regards to this inheritance story?
So you’re trying to communicate that we should only refrain from engaging in the worst iteration of aveiros; but commiting an aveira in not the worst way, isn’t so bad?
Great point. Reb Moshe’s psakim are irrelevant to the non-Yiddish speaking public. They should all discard the Igros Moshe, which should only be used by the Yiddish speakers who mingle.
Rav Moshe Feinstein held that we can’t apply tinok shenishba status to someone who lived near an Orthodox community and was aware of religious Jews. (Even if he didn’t grow up frum.)
Igros Moshe OC 5:28 , Igros Moshe EH 1:82:11 Igros Moshe EH 2:20 and OC 1:33.Rav Ovadia Yosef held similarly that it depends on whether they were familiar with a Torah community. In practice that means non-religious Israelis and “in town” Americans are not considered tinokos shenishbau.
Rav Ovadia Yosef (Yabia Omer OC 10:55) and Rav Binyamin Zilber (Az Nidbaru 9:55).Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach held that non-religious Israelis are not considered tinokos shenishbau and that the they are mumarim.
Halichos Shlomo Pesach pp. 326-7 and Madenei Shlomo p. 27Does the avreich also not eat in his father’s home since his father purchased the food with the same tainted money that the avreich is refusing to accept as an inheritance?
Reb Eliezer,
a) who said that if it was a tinuk shenishbah that changes the Halacha in regards to this case?
b) the article says his father is frum but his father’s brothers (who are business partners with the father) are not frum. Therefore those brothers were likely brought up frum, but even if not they are clearly exposed to frum life — which means that they are NOT tinuk shenishbah.
There’s a special place in gehenom for that.
Women in power is not a good thing.
Take 2 — Trivia: When did England have three Queens simultaneously?
How do these neighborhoods compare to Meah Shearim (in terms of Yiddishkeit, demographics, cost, amenities, etc.)?
GHadorah: Would you have the same response if it was a Glock 19 or cocaine that the the kid had?
Menachem: Why haven’t you let his parents know what he has?
If anyone can make a similar recommendation as requested in the OP, just למצוות שבין אדם למקום instead, I too would appreciate it.

Menachem Shmei,
Yasher Koach for sharing this beautiful thought from the Rebbe.

Everyone please be mochel me for anything I ever did necessitating it.

Gmar Chasima Tova and a Gut Gebetched Yur to EVERYONE in the Coffee Room and to everyone in Klal Yisroel!
You defended the Ukrainians who celebrate and honor Bandera and Khmelnitsky with statues throughout the country, national holidays in their honor, putting them on Ukrainian postage stamps, having celebrations and marches in their honor, Ukrainian presidents awarding them Hero Of Ukraine ceremonies and the masses of Ukrainian citizens considering these mass murderers to be national heroes.
Mentsch1: if the South had fully enforced all Torah requirements for the institution of slavery, you’d be commending them now for having been righteous in the matter?
Chmielnicki and Bandera were Hitlers. Do not tell me the they or that Hitler had “good points” to celebrate, aside from their side -job of mass murdering Jews.
Are you okay with putting up statues of Adolf Hitler and making holidays for his birthday and issuing postage stamps and coins in his honor to commemorate Hitler being a great orator and restoring pride to the German people after WWII? Nothing to do with Hitler’s killing machines; only celebrating his “good things”.
That’s what you’re saying about Chmielnicki and Bandera; that we can’t do “cancel culture” or violate free speech honoring Hitler, Chmielnicki and Bandera.
Ukraine is indefensible. They still honor these mass murderers today.
And speaking of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, he was duly elected President of Ukraine by a democratic majority of Ukrainian voters. And the anti-Russians, supported by the Obama Administration and specifically Secretary of State Clinton, supported and abetted the violent coup de’tat that overthrew the elected President.
chiefshmerel: Wrong! It was the anti-Russian Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko who named Bandera a “Hero of Ukraine,”. The Russians are the ones who executed Bandera.
In late 2006, the Lviv, Ukraine city administration announced the transference of the tombs of Stepan Bandera, Andriy Melnyk, Yevhen Konovalets and other key Ukrainian Nazi collaborators to a new area of Lychakiv Cemetery honoring them.
In October 2007, the city of Lviv erected a statue dedicated to Bandera. In October 2007, the Lviv City Council adopted a resolution establishing the Award of Stepan Bandera.
In January 2009, his 100th birthday was celebrated in several Ukrainian centres and Ukraine officially issued a postage stamp with his portrait was issued to honor him. In January 2014, Bandera’s 105th birthday was celebrated by a torchlight procession of 15,000 people in the centre of Kyiv and thousands more rallied near his statue in Lviv.
In 2018, the Ukrainian Parliament designated Bandera’s birthday as a national holiday.
Today’s Ukrainians, including their modern day Presidents and leaders, also honor and celebrate with statues and public holidays, Ukrainian Nazis such as Stepan Bandera, who was Hitler’s Ukrainian man responsible for mass murdering Yidden in Ukraine. Just a decade ago Ukraine’s President established a holiday in honor of this mass murderer.
mentsch1: Slavery is a supported Torah value.
Kuvult: Pray tell and explain how you see Bogdan Chmielnicki yemach shemo vzichro, the Ukrainian Adolf Hitler ym’s, as a hero and how you justify his mass murdering Yidden. And explain how you justify today’s Ukrainians putting up statues of Chmielnicki all over Ukrainiane and honoring and celebrating this mass murderer, ethnic cleanser of your ancestors.
Do you also defend the masses of Ukrainians, including average citizens in Ukraine, who collaborated with the Nazis in liquidating Ukraine of its Jewish population into mass graves the Jews were shot into en masse?
ymribriat: Are you expecting a language here other than English?
ymribriat: I can assure you that most prewar shtetlech were very strict about adhering to tznius, not having girl friends, not having mixed gender schools, secular studies were an afterthought – if they even had any, they certainly did not fraternize with the Goyim or the Reform, they dressed very conspicuously Jewish that you could differentiate a Jew from a gentile a mile away and, yes, they got married young and had many children.
It’s true some things weakened after World War I, but certainly prior to that it was very strong and even after WWI it was much better than we see in OOT America.
Reb Eliezer, who said I have an excuse? It’s a weakness I’m still working on.
Moish26: Yasher Koach.
(Brace yourself for an assailment.)
#1: Are any of the following examples of what works in Lakewood and Brooklyn but isn’t realistic for other communities?
A. Tznius k’hilchasa
B. No opposite gender friendship
C. No television or unfiltered internet
D. No coed institutions or mixed gender events
E. Getting married young
F. Prioritizing Limud Torah over secular studies
G. Not fraternizing with gentiles or with non-Torah observant
H. Dressing conspicuously Jewish#1, can you also please share and explain with us in full detail the reasons WHY these things (whatever they are) that works in Lakewood and Brooklyn do not work in other communities?
What is it regarding these other communities’ demographics and institutions account as to why these things don’t work there?
If you could kindly explain all this it could help alleviate the problem you identified in your OP.
Yasher Koach
CA: Have you been playing too many video games lately?
#1/OP:
Can you please explain in more details examples of “What works for Lakewood or Brooklyn isn’t necessarily helpful or realistic for other communities”?
In Lakewood/Brooklyn the men put on Tefilin six days a week. I assume that isn’t an example of what you’re referring to. So what is?
The Kievan Rus is Russia. After the Mongols invaded it, the capital changed from Kiev to Moscow once the Russians regained the land.
Why should Crimea go back to Ukraine? It’s been part of Russia since 2014. You want to take it away?
We shouldn’t bash the Conservative, Reform and Reconstructionist communities?
Your grammar and sentence structure aren’t using proper English syntax. I responded to the exact points you wrote. Your regret about making illogical statements notwithstanding, after your logical flaws were pointed out.
There’s no pro-Russian folks here. The only pro-Russians were the American Left in the Democrat Party while Russia was Communist. Once communism went out the window in Russia, the Democrats lost their appetite to support Russia. The Far Left held out a little longer until Hillary Clinton supported the coup de’tat in 2014 against the democratically elected government of Ukraine, which triggered Russia. But acknowledging that Russia has some points about Ukraine being strongly pro-Nazi, doesn’t negate the fact that Putin is a madman, as I pointed out earlier above, and that Russia itself is a backwards country.
Also note that Crimea specifically was never Ukrainian until the Ukrainian Dictator of the Soviet Union unilaterally and unconstitutionally transferred it on paper away from Russia into Ukraine in 1954.
“Glad you admit Putin is a madman.”
Glad you don’t deny the Ukrainians are Neo-Nazis.
“But it wasn’t Ukraine that bombed the Shoah memorial in Babyn Yar.”
Who cares about a “memorial”; lives are much more important. And no one targeted the memorial specifically.
“Stop thinking that historical genocide”
Yeah, what’s “historical genocide” when we need our Volkswagen, BMWs and Mercedes from our great and lovely German friends.
” (which by the way, as per your logic, Ukrainians are Soviet citizens, hence Russian)”
That’s not logic; that’s illogical. That akin to saying “Texans are Americans, hence New Yorkers.” Ukrainians aren’t Russian any more than Lithuanians are, which was also part of the Soviet Union.
“Putin’s terrorism shall not go unpunished. May he meet his Maker soon.”
Hey, here’s something we agree on.
May he meet his maker soon together with his Ukrainians Nazi adversaries.

Apparently not. When have world leaders ever been wise?
“so the situation is escalating with the threat of Russia going nuclear.”
You are correct again.
Like father, like son.
He is Tommy’s boy.
Putin is a madman; the Ukrainians are Neo-Nazis. They are made for each other. Let them continue shooting each other up while the rest of the world stays away from those Slavs.
“the Nazi German occupying terrorists murdered over 33k Jews in Babyn Yar.”
… With the very eager help of the Nazi’s Ukrainian collaborators.
Ukraine is the land of Tach V’Tat. Ukraine TODAY still celebrates the Ukrainian leader who mass murdered the Yidden in Tach V’Tat.

Trivia: When did England have three Queens simultaneously?
Interjection: If the US attacks Russia ‘s army even with conventional weapons, as the senile Biden is threatening to do if Russia tactically nukes ukrai6, that means a direct hot war between the US and Russia for the first time in history; something that never occurred even during the Cold War. In fact, it would be the first direct war between two nuclear armed states. And even though the US is much stronger than Russia conventionally, in a nuclear war both sides lose big time. And once Russia uses nukes in Ukraine, there’s no betting it won’t use them against the US if the Biden goes to war against Russia.

Florida is your place.
Okay.
You’re welcome.
Avira, that’s exactly the point in my last comment.
“Just your friendly septennial reminder”
No offense, sir, and said with the greatest brotherly love, but I believe you have not issued this “septennial reminder” seven or fourteen years ago, even though you were active here in both those timeframes.
