Dofi: We Jews ARE the natives of ALL parts of Eretz Yisroel, despite you so-called “Palestinians” claims to be the natives.

AAQ: The question is whether the increasing population in red states are coming from blue state voters, diluting the red state voting base.

Reb Eliezer, rape and incest is no more an excuse for abortion than if she became pregnant as a result of her immorality.

Are you willing to move to the other side of the Green Line?

Baruch Hashem!

Should I get a Glock 19 or a Glock 43?

Anyone with experience please share your feedback and reviews of the different competitive options that are best.

I provided the first hand shidduch story, as related directly by the protagonist himself.

Ronald has no chance against Donald in the Republican primary, if it comes to that. And he knows it.

Parenting style in the US was also like that until about 40 years ago.

In any event, in the US Yidden parent very differently than American goyim. And even within frum communities you’ll find vastly different parenting styles between Williamsburg compared to Lakewood compared to Five Towns.

The coffee room started in 2008.

Tendler met his wife in the New York Public Library. He then kept coming back there to meet her. He himself explained this in an interview published in the YU Commentator. By time Rav Moshe got wind of it, he didn’t have too much influence over who she chose to marry.

Is there a reason anyone took the OP seriously?

The main upside to a recession is that there is a virtually direct historical precedent that the party in power during a recession always loses the following election.

Democrats have also blocked drilling gas in Alaska’s ANWR arctic.

Part of knowing who to follow is to know who is greater. Godol mimenu b’chochma ubaminyan is an assessment that it legitimately made. And as Rav Shach writes – if you dont know who to follow, follow whoever is greater – and, he adds, you can of course tell who is greater.

If you yourself dont know, then thats fine – not everyone can know the answer to all questions they encounter – but why in the world would you say nobody else can know?

And it’s an error in logic, too, because they themselves compared “levels” of other people! i.e.: “Rav Ovadia Yosef is the leading Sefardi posek of our times.” And how would they know this if you cannot compare him to other sefardi poskim?

And how can one know whether “any of us are on the madreiga of assessing the ‘levels’ of other people” unless you assessed the levels of all those other people who said arent “on the “madgreigah” to do that?

If i were to ask you who is greater – Rav Ovadiah or Rabi Avika — would you say you cannot compare people? Rav Ovadiah or the Rambam? Avraham Avinu?

So clearly, we can compare “levels”, its just that to some, certain comparisons are “obvious” and others are not. Well, to other people, perhaps who are more knowledgable and skilled in assessing these kinds of values, other comparisons are also obvious.

Lord Moses Monteofiore once ascended to the Har HaBayis. He was then strongly criticism by the Gedolei Eretz Yisroel. He immediately went to the Gedolim and cried to them for mechila, saying he would never have gone had he known they ruled it impermissible.

The RCA has now found another wacky hole to jump into by becoming environmentalists? They find one left-wing cause or another to ingratiate themselves with the liberals every few years.

That’s absolutely false. EU bureaucrats are still anti-Poland. The EU is STILL blocking COVID funding towards Poland. And Hungary is the most pro-Jewish country in Europe and one of the most pro-frum Yidden countries in the world.

Never assume “mainstream” press reports are accurate. But your quote only reflects a difference between Poland and most of the rest of the EU regarding the sanctions agreed to. It does not reflect any profound conflict between Poland and Hungary.

hello99, welcome back! It’s been a long time, and it’s great to “see” you.

The EU bureaucrats sitting in Brussels armchairs are as much anti-Poland as they are anti-Hungary. They’ve denied Poland billions of euros in COVID aid, since they are miffed at Poland replacing left-wing Polish judges with more conservative judges. And they are angry at Poland for pointing out the fact that toeiva feigelech are perverts. The EU insists on pretending that mishkav zochor is normal but Poland still refuses. And Poland and Hungary, despite their slight differences over Russia, are still tight nit and close friends with each other, and Poland and Hungary each use their EU veto to protect each other.

The EU has imposed extremely tough and unprecedented sanctions against Russia over the last three months, since the Ukraine War. And Hungary voted in support of every single one of those new EU sanctions. So do not believe the falsehoods reported by far left-wing outlets such as the New York Times, Washington Post, BBC and CNN that Hungary is pro-Russia. Hungary has publicly condemned Russia’s actions. And without Hungarian support their would be no, and legally could be no, EU sanctions against Russia.

Avirah, can you please expound on what the Chazon Ish meant and whether he was happy with the setup?

Don’t be a snob. Taster’s Choice is excellent coffee.

I woke up from my mid-afternoon nap very well rested only to find myself chuckling while trying to drink my tea with crumb cake when reading our two in-house “godols” getting all bent out of shape over their lack of a sense of humor (or humour, for those on the other side of the pond.) Of course the second comment in this thread (that is the first after the OP, for those lacking a primary education), effectively making the same drollery. (crack open your dictionary) — and doing it before myself, resulted in no such umbrage, reprimand or chastisement.

Nothing to do with an inferiority complex, certainly.

Reb Eliezer, who is “them”?

N0m: Compared to the countries in the rest of Europe and the world, Hungary’s economy has done better comparatively. Hungary has made great friendships with Poland, the United States (over the last four years) and other likeminded countries. Being so-called “isolated” from EU bureaucrats in Brussels, coming mainly from self-importance thinking Germans and French, is no loss.

The Orban Administration has been the most frum Yid friendly, both on personal levels and more importantly on policy levels, than any other European country. Hungary has one of the largest European populations of Jews. I have no idea what you’re referring to with your reference to “Zionist”, but Hungary has established a great relationship with Israel over the last ten years.
