    Based on what the OP is describing, if a Ben Torah or Yeshivish person or Talmid Chochom has a son or children that are also a Ben Torah or Yeshivish or Talmid Chochom, then none of the criticism cited in the OP is applicable to him, since his child/children ARE like him.

    The SY shuls are just as happy as anyone else to have geirim. Their takana is only against members marrying a ger and against their rabbis conducting conversions. Nothing else. Geirim are more than welcome to join SY Shuls.

    Besalel: The Tosfos Yom Tov attributed the terrible travails of Tach V’Tat to talking in Shul. Others have attributed various tragedies, including the Holocaust, to other specific reasons.

    That said, your last paragraph is absolutely true but it doesn’t negate my former point.

    Menachem, I do not have my own opinion. I simply follow the Gedolei HaPoskim and my Posek, as I mentioned. And they paskened what I told you. You aren’t in a position to tell anyone that they cannot follow certain Gedolei HaPoskim and must follow the ones that you choose or identify.

    As far as the second point, I very much deal with non-Orthodox “Jews” very frequently. And I can tell you with a great deal of certainly that a large portion of those who self-identify as such or are affiliated with Reform and Conservative congregations are, in fact, Halachicly non-Jewish.

    Jack, akuperma’s point was that when the Republican party was new, the two major parties were the Democrats and the Whigs. The Republicans, then, were a “third-party” that nevertheless won the presidency.

    Aside from that Lizzie would be disqualified for high office, or any office for the matter, even if she were a man, additionally of course there’s the undeniable fact that women shouldn’t be holding office or political leadership positions altogether.

    The Torah says the world was created in 6 days. And that Rashi says explicitly that when the Torah says Vayehi Erev Vayehi Voker Yom Echad it means 24 hours.

    The 6 days of creation were in fact 24 hours. How could they not be? Aren’t days 24 hours now? So when did this change? Where does it indicate in the slightest that the first Sunday after creation (or the first Shabbos?) was suddenly shorter than previous days?

    On the contrary – it’s clear that on the fourth day Hashem said the sun should shine during the time-period that was called “day” and the stars/darkness should rule during the time-period called “night”. Since then, that hasn’t changed, and obviously as we can see today, the sun and the stars have decided that the time period called day plus the time period called night, are 24 hours.

    The Gemora says this explicitly. It describes 10 things that were created on the first day of creation, one of which is the “length of the day and night” – as it says, “vayehi erev vayehi voke yom echad”. So the time span of the day was created on the first day of creation. And, as Rashi states, it means “[the day and night together] – i.e. 24 hours between them”.

    Menachem, you give too much credence to modern science. EVEN IF modern science categorically declared with great unequivocality a certain “fact” that didn’t comport with what the Torah or Chazal wrote, we would have absolutely no reason to no longer take what the Torah or Chazal declares as absolute literal truth, or doubt it even in the slightest, despite the “science” to the contrary.

    Science can be, and often is, overturned.
