    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.

    I’m a nuclear physicist. A while back I used to be a semiconductor engineer, but the field is high-pressure and very competitive. In my current occupation there’s much less competitive pressures and development can be done on a much relaxed schedule. It helps with family life.

    At nights, I dabble in giving Shiurim and answering a Shaila hotline.

    The main site started on a blog platform in 2005, the main site moved to this current domain/platform in 2006 and the coffee room section started in 2008. Login registrations/usernames are shared between the (current) main site and the coffee room section but the coffee room profiles only show coffee room posts.

    Yseribus: Do you have answers to the questions or do you simply believe everything you read online?

    Since you claim “every Rov on the planet”who spoke about it, please name the three most chushuv/prominent such Rovs, which should be very easy for you since you can pick from “every Rov, unless of course you just made that up.

    1. How can you be sure that the press or online reports about what they’re up to, believe or practice has any accuracy whatsoever?

    2. How can you believe accusations from people that left their community, especially if they left in some disputed circumstances?

    “in the dark, I believe. Otherwise, you can safely retreat.”

    The Halacha is that if someone breaks into your house, armed or unarmed — day or night, you can immediately blow his head off.

    About 100 years ago someone reported finding one of the lost Mesechtas of Shas. A Mesechta that hadn’t been seen in many many hundreds of years. People, including Talmidei Chachomim, believed and accepted it initially. But after a few months people started noticing subtle errors that proved it was a forgery, albeit written by someone who was very well acquainted with Gemorah and Aramaic to fool people for quite a bit.

    My elementary Yeshiva schedule:

    4th grade: S 9-4, M-T 9-6, F 9-12
    5th grade: S 7:15-4, M-T 7:15-6, F 9-12
    6th grade: S 7:15-4, M-W 7:15-6 T 7:15a-8p, F 9-12
    7th-8th grade: S 7:15-4, M&W: 7:15-6, T&T 7:15a-8p, F 9-12

    The frum community is much better off — and more effective in the halls of power — finding a gentile that we elect into office, that works for our communal needs, than to have a Jewish or frum person serve in office for us.
