“Male Nurses and Male House-Husbands; Female Military and Political Leaders, Has Western Society Fallen as Low as (or Lower than) Ancient Egyptian Society?”
AAQ: That’s bubbe maaisa theories coming from boneheads.
Avram: It doesn’t pas to have a goyishe hand-food like pizza for a heilige melave malka.
AAQ: If someone doesn’t join the army because he’s in yeshiva, he’s prohibited from accepting any paid employment until (if I recall) he is 28 years old.
“How many of your families have 3 or less children?”
By that token, if you have no children r’l, you’ll be “wealthier”.
“Still, the immediate visceral “ashkenazi lives matter” reaction was way inappropriate and shows that any community can fall low.”
Agreed. My Rov made the same point last year when some people started parroting “Jewish Lives Matter”. That we Yidden should never be taking or re-coining slogans originating from the lowest of the low.
Is the third type people who can’t count?
n0m: You attempted to obfuscate the issue dreying a kup about how a very clear and explicit halacha given in the Mishna, Rambam (on the Mishna in Horiyos), Shulchan Aruch, and many other sources that you were given and cited including the Chazon Ish, Shevet HaLeivi and the Igros Moshe, was not in your view viable or applicable in our day or in any other day. (The Rema, Shach and Taz are additional sources against you that weren’t cited in the thread.) And you offered no source saying what you claimed. You simply tried to drey ah kup that all the explicit sources were irrelevant, even though you had no source saying so, since you posited that all the aforementioned were merely giving a theoretical case that could not (and in your imagination did not) ever occur.
You ended promising to “explain” the Chazon Ish, Tur and S”A “in my next post”, your famous last words — except you made no more posts after those four words.
How is Caucasian a race but Ashkenazic not?
Never retire.
By Yidden riches are measured in Torah, not money.
The world always had income inequality. There’s nothing wrong with it. And it will always exist.
AAQ: The zionist law *prohibits* them from working for anyone, anywhere, remote or onsite, if they didn’t serve in the zionist army.
Which Nittel? There’s December 25 and there’s January 6.
The Chasidim figured out the solution. Copy their shidduch system.
How long should one sit Shiva for someone who r”l intermarried or shmadded?
HaGaon HaRav Shimon Schwab ZT”L was the heir and successor to HaGaon HaRav Samson Raphael Hirsch ZTL’s position and leadership of his community. There is no one better suited to speak as to what Rav Hirsch intended, or would’ve acted in different circumstances, than Rav Schwab.
n0m: If you vanished without posting the “correct” interpretation of the Chazon Ish that you promised, why would you expect a response. The Mishnah/Gemorah and Rambam/Shulchan Aruch are clear and explicit regarding that Halacha.
AJ, same. You are choosing to assume that putting out colorful lights, red stockings and giving presents under a tree is Christian practices. Whereas others see it as secular practices. Do you want to stop such Jews from putting out a cute tree, lights and presents?
AJ: Do you say the same about those who seek to assur Jews from celebrating Christmas? Y’know, trees, presents, etc.
*The reality is that for the last 400-500 years the seat of the Torah world and the vast majority of Torah scholarship has been in the Ashkenazic world.
(the few missing words from the end of my previous comment)I think the Sephardic trauma from the Inquisition, Expulsions and forced conversions to Christianity hasn’t yet abated. The reality is that for the last 400-500 years the seat of the Torah world and the vast majority of Torah scholarship.
AAQ: Can you please elaborate on Rav Hirsch’s praise of Shiller not aging well?
Abolish the State.

Oh, wait, that wasn’t a typo of a missing space and you actually meant asocial? NM. I skim too quickly, sometimes.
CA: asocial is the opposite of social; meaning you’re avoiding social interaction.
Chess is only muttar on Nittel Nacht.
Which means I must soon be prepared to continue my game with squeak… (See the game thread.)
CTL, as a lawyer you know that the vast majority of private sector jobs are “at will” employment, where the employer can fire employees for any or even no reason (other than a discriminatory/protected minority basis). As such, a fake degree might land a job otherwise the applicant had no chance of, whereas if he’s later fired he only lost what he otherwise wouldn’t have ever had. As far as unemployment, my understanding is that most states will not deny it based on a pre-employment claim. But even to the extent that they might, the now former employee likely gained a lot more in the months/years he was employed than losing a few months of unemployment.
As far as unions are concerned, they rarely represent the vast majority of private sector employees in the first place.
Gadol: It’s difficult to believe that the firms you reference will be calling the universities of all the hundreds of applicants or dozens of potential interviewees for each and every of the many hundreds of positions they fill each year. That would take quite a huge amount of resources. How, exactly, were they verifying every interesting applicant’s resume they receive.
All the above, of course, is no excuse to fib on a resume despite the fact that it is well known that a large majority of resumes are quite inflated in their claims compared to the reality. This is merely in response to the original point here.
AJ: That’s akin to arguing that since Christianity has the “Old Testament”, therefore Christianity has a Jewish connection.
I met someone from this site for lunch. He brought his copy of that morning’s New York Times (which was his bible, lhavdil) and I showed him all the lies in any story of his choosing.
He went home a convert (to real Yiddishkeit.)
Dear n0meso: Sew your button.
Churches don’t give religious sermons on July 4 or on Memorial Day. Yet they did and do for Thanksgiving. That gives a good indication Thanksgiving has a foreign religious nature.
Furthermore, the early modern American synagogues that celebrated Thanksgiving with a sermon and other ways were clearly imitating the Churches. That was also wrong.
RE, shkoyach.
Employers rarely verify if the claimed higher education/degree on a resume is real, before hiring.
We know that its origin included religious celebration.
RE, don’t you think most people behave properly?
A majority of Yidden and the world are male. So, lmaaila, it stands to reason a majority of members are mentschen.
Every Jew needs to pasken Halacha multiple times every day of his life.
Send one bitcoin to the mods, and I promise you they’ll start approving every post of yours within 3 minutes, if not sooner.
Three IS an issue of Avoda Zora. There is a machlokes haposkim whether it is okay to celebrate, but those who assur seem to have a better understanding of the historical context of Thanksgiving, which includes religious celebration.
Then, instead of Bishops and Cardinals there should be Imams and Ayatollahs.
n0m: affected, not effected. (That’s the least wrong part of your post.)
or coaching?
Do you mean poaching?
CA: It’s impolite to point out a technical error on the part of a newbie.
