It is self-explanatory, based on its name.
Reb Eliezer, if you learn the Theory of Relativity, you’ll farshtay.
… and since Rav Moshe was the Av Beis Din of Agudas HaRabbonim…
According to Albert Einstein, the sun revolves around the earth.
Btw, Rav Dovid Feinstein zt’l was fairly easily reachable, as well. You just had to call the Yeshiva payphone and ask whoever answered to put him on the phone.
Unless things changed in recent years, Rav Shmuel was easily reachable on his home phone. He usually picks the phone up himself when it rings.
Wait, none of the usual suspects reprimanded the OP yet for an allegedly poor education?
Hello, huju and company, where are you?
“How can you tell?”
Mod, often on the main page of the CR you will see under the “Last Post” column for a thread the name of a poster. But then when you open the thread you see that named poster isn’t the last post and often doesn’t have any post there. This is a tell-tell sign that the bbPress software running the CR put the post into spam, despite listing that poster as the Last Post for the thread.
A very significant portion (very possibly a majority) of non-Orthodox “Jews” (secular, Reform, Conservative) that self-identify as Jewish, are in fact non-Jewish. These Goyim who are members of the Reform or Conservative movements, or these gentiles who identify themselves as “Jewish”, descend from — or are themselves — invalid conversions from the Reform and Conservatives.
Or the false conversions in Israel of Russians and Ethiopians who never were religious, never intended to be religious and never kept one Shabbos.
Or alternatively were deemed “Jewish” by virtue of patrilineal descent (mainly in the Reform and Reconstructive movements, but even the Conservatives accept their so-called Jewish status, as they cross-recognize the other movements), having a Jewish father and a Gentile mother. Or being several generations down from said goy (great-grandmother) or were adopted by non-Orthodox Jews, or descended any number of generations back from such a child.
Menachem: Are you accusing Reb Moshe, the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, and the numerous gedolei poskim of “theoretically let a fellow Yid die (חס ושלום) because Reb Moshe, the Kitzur, etc. chose (on their own) to have their opinion”?! The fact is these are the normative psakim of poskim throughout the doros. Your trying to discard these great psakim is beyond the pale.
Yes, absolutely I have clarified with my Rov and Posek that these are the psakim we follow halacha l’maaisa bzman hazeh. And, no, they do not have the din of תינוק שנשבה.
“In these last moments of golus, let’s focus on the positive and holy parts of every Yid.”
The halacha is absolutely clear that we do not consider someone who habitually violates the Torah, Shabbos, etc b’rabbim to be part of us. And isn’t entitled to the various protections and considerations we afford to a Shomer Torah U’Mitzvos.
You should be very concerned to lean לחומרא for the mitzva of שמירות שבת. Let me ask you a serious question, if you were alone in an isolated rural area and saw an akum drowning in a rural lake on Shabbos with no one else around to save him, would you save him knowing that whatever choice you made no one else would know you were there?
Ken Zain that AAQ is correct and that since Covid they’re doing virtual brochos.
CA: Before you know it you’ll it”H be making a Shidduch. Just like the last 13 years flew by in the blink of an eye, the next few years until your bochor’s Shidduch will be even quicker.
Poor Mr. Hitler. What a horrible childhood. No wonder he did what he did.
Menachem: Rav Moshe Feinstein and the majority of poskim rule that to be a tinok shenishba a person has to be totally and completely unaware of Judaism. Anyone familiar with frum Jews is not a tinok shenishba.
Regarding saving lives on Shabbos, Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 92:1 “Shabbos is pushed aside for Sakonas Nefoshos… therefore it is a Mitzvah to desecrate Shaboss for a Kosher person (even if he sometimes does sins [[ed: not a habitual sinner]]) who is in mortal danger”. Also see also the uncensored Shulchan Aruch Yoreh Dei’ah 158:1. See Shearim Metzuyanim Bahalacha 92:1; He brings the Pri Megadim who says we do not desecrate Shabbos for one who doesn’t keep Shabbos Litai’ovon (for convenience reasons).
Mods, it seems Always_Ask_Questions’s posts have been getting caught in the spam filter for the last week.
How can you tell?
The vast majority of non-frum Jews are NOT תינוקות שנשבו.
Menachem: You can’t be Mechallel Shabbos to save the life of a Mechallel Shabbos. (Unless there’s an issue of Darchei Shalom.)
CA: Your profile indicates you were a bochor when you signed up here.
takah: When you’re children reach your age they’ll be saying “I will tell you that if a teacher or school administrator had EVER given a mark less than an “A” to any of my children, that teacher or administrator would have felt my anger in a real way before the day was over.”
akuperma: Gut gezugt.
Mazal Tov , CA!!
Parents have the legal right to hit their children for disciplinary reasons. If it is excessive there can be issues.
By extension, it used to be that teachers could use corporal punishment anywhere, in every US state. Including in every public school. But as the left encroached with their liberalism across the country, mainly starting in the 1960s and continuing ever since, they started banning them in schools in the more liberal states.
As far as parents, if the leftist could have their way, they’d take away such parental rights as well.
Amil: How prevalent are residences in your area that lack air conditioning?
Parents can use corporal punishment anywhere.
Benephraim: For every of the greatest Rabbonim who spent time in the library, there were 100+ others who did not. So whoever it was that was there was non-representative.
Yes. All things being equal, I generally prefer to vote for a gentile over a Jew. The Jewish politicians tend to have problems voting Jewishly, whereas a friendly gentile more often can vote for Jewish interests without having to worry how he’ll look among other goyim for doing so.
And as things generally aren’t equal, more often than not there are gentiles more naturally inclined to vote for our values moreso than Jewish politicians.
Dofi: Seeing you get riled gives greater gratification than responding to your nonsensical rants.
CA: Your quote aptly describes the liberals.
CA: 48 out of 50 states permit private school teachers to utilize corporal punishment. About 20 states permit corporal punishment in public schools, as well.
Jack, you are again acting hypocritically. I’ve pointed this out before and you still keep spewing the same lines. You refuse to support repealing state laws against murder, even though you acknowledge they are based upon Christian concepts of murder and not Jewish laws against murder. As was pointed out to you previously, in most states if you kill someone who broke into your home unarmed, you will be charged with murder, homicide or manslaughter. Even though under Jewish law you acted completely in self-defense, and had the absolute right to kill the intruder who broke into your home.
Which clearly and unambiguously demonstrates the falsity of your hypocritical “declaration” that “I am an Orthodox Jew living in Galus. I advocate for laws that will allow me to live as an Orthodox Jew is Galus. I will advocate against christian murder laws.” (ftfy)
sensible: Thank you for sharing that important information.
CA: New York State law permits private school teachers to use corporal punishment on their students.
OP: Maybe Hitler had a rough childhood in school and even in home life.

Halevai today’s teachers had the courage and smarts to do it. Yesterday’s generation didn’t come out as spoiled as today’s generation. We need to reintroduce traditional Yiddishe disciplinary measures instead of being afraid of what the Goyim will think.
Jack, let’s cut to the chase. Do you or do you not support me in advocating and hoping for Congress to pass a law that firmly and completely bans abortion nationally in all cases other than when the mother’s life is at risk — with when the mother’s life is at risk the law shall strongly and completely protect the right to abortion, but in all other cases it will just as strongly ban it?
Let’s put the double talk aside of beating around the bush trying to pretend the reason you want to support abortion is only because of when the mother’s life is at risk, when in reality you’re only using that excuse to try to have abortion legal in other cases.
Digital Libraries.
Reb Eliezer, those programs teach Aramaic?
CA: By us Yidden, every aspect of life and daily activity must be viewed through the prism of Torah Judaism. Even a discussion of tying our shoelaces or taking a shower or what/when we speak must be viewed through how we are obligated to do so according to the Torah.
Kuvult: What do you mean by “leaving Yeshiva without a degree so you can be a professional”?
Maryles is an open mevaze talmidei chachomim who promotes every left wing looney cause that’s in the news that day, concerning religion.
No, the Reform apikorsum are not correct in this case. The only protection needed in anti-abortion laws are to protect the life of the mother. And all the laws provide that protection.
correction
Derech Chaim is a regular mainstream Yeshiva.
Jack,
1. Laurence Tribe is a left wing hack. When he offers his two cents, as he does here, it is only because his legal cause is on shaky footing. If it weren’t, he would not have to chime in.
2. No states, repeat — no states at all, have banned abortion when the mother’s life is risk. This talking point is simply used by abortionists to attempt to legitimize killing babies.
There’s been a recall. Please do the safe thing and turn it back in.
OP/Moish26: You are absolutely correct.
CA: Judaism isn’t a democracy.
Of course, there’s worse out there. Another major “frum” competitor to this site is far far worse.
Even Mishpacha and AMI would not be found in a Torah true home, given the horrible hashkafos they transmit. Even the “old” weeklies of Yated and Hamodia are problematic.
The definition of life is set by Hashem, not by “evidence” (whatever that then means.)
Can you explain to us what the practical difference between a Chasidish chutznik oilem is from a Chasidish Eretz Yisroel’dika oilem? They both speak Yiddish. What else are you concerned with?
Who is frowning (other than one’s own imagination)?
It was the feminists, who are clearly Democrats, that pushed women out of the home and into the workforce.
