Dr. Pepper, you are the kindest, most gentle, sensitive and thoughtful poster on this forum. By a wide margin. That’s without even speaking of your superior intelligence. (No offense intended towards squeak.) I’m very confident that telling a poster that he’s bitter (or worse) isn’t something you’ve previously directly said to anyone here. And doubtlessly you’ve had ample opportunities in the well over a decade you’ve graced us with your special presence.
If I’m wrong about the above I’ll eat my words. But I know that I am not.
All that said, addressing a person’s bitterness isn’t necessarily a negative. Indeed it can be helpful in assisting your interlocutor address that very issue that you’ve identified to him. Also note that while it was strong and sharp comparative to your previous comments, in the grand scheme of conversations it certainly was far from being a harsh comment. I merely noticed that it was outside the typical tone of a comment coming from yourself.
Ah Gut Shabbos and ah Gutten Chodesh!
Godol: Are you agreeing with me again? I must say that it seems to start becoming a trend with you.
Millhouse: But is it unheard of for a Lubavitcher to attend a non-Lubavitch chasuna? (i.e. I’m not referring specifically to Lubavitch.)
By the way, in Lubavitch the Kallah doesn’t go to the men’s section for Keitzad Merakdim?
Dr. Pepper, I must say that, firstly, your most recent comment is absolutely on target, appropriate and correct. But more pointedly I I feel compelled to note that this comment is the strongest, sharpest and most stinging comment I’ve ever seen you post in all your 13+ years of posting to this site — and I’ve certainly read the vast majority of what you’ve written here.
Again, justifiably so.
Warm up the Matzahs long after Pesach, and will feel and taste very fresh.

Leiby Wasser: You never saw a contingent of women come from the women’s section into the men’s section with the Kallah for Keitzad Merakdim?
And have you, ever, heard anyone insist everyone must have a Mitzvah Tantz, even if it was never their Minhag?
The famous picture drawing of the Baal HaTanya seems to show big Peyos. More than the typical Lubavitcher today.
Haaretz is the Zionist version of Der Sturmer.

Wolf: Are these the kinds of jokes you share during laining? (One of your admitted aveiras is constantly talking during laining.)
P.S. Still waiting for your response in the King Charles and Queen Camilla thread.
And Keitzad Merakdim, when they bring the Kallah into the men’s section (and in the not so Frum circles dozens of other women slip into the men’s section with the Kallah) is more Tzniusdik??
@ujm
“Everyone must have a Rov.”“Source?”
Pirkei Avos. Common sense. And that’s how Klal Yisroel has always acted for thousands of years.
Ari: Because then you might become smitten with infatuation before finding out the match is inappropriate due to background reasons.
Reb Eliezer, what is a “macarena” dance?
“Not everyone has a Rav. (I am not saying the OP doesn’t necessarily, just that there are people that don’t)”
Everyone must have a Rov.
If one doesn’t have one he would act the same way he would if he had no pair of pants.
*should
Are you asking about currently or regarding prewar Lubavitch?
The Kallah’s family providing the Choson a dowry is a very strong Yiddishe minhag from ancient times through modern times that is well established and proper.
follick2, You’re declaring that 3,000+ years of how our Yiddishe Zaidas and Bubbes made shidduchim, starting from Avrohom Avinu for Yitzchok Avinu all the way through European Ashkenaz, Eretz Yisroel, the Sefardic communities, Teimanim as well as all sectors of Klal Yisroel all got it wrong and, finally, after 3,000 years you figured out the right way to change things?
Avira, which comment is your last one responding to?
Basing it on the number of slices can be misleading because one pizza stores single slice is equal in size to another store’s two slices.
Yitz17: Read the full thread. All Litvishe Yidden used to have long Peyos hanging down from the sides of their faces; and not behind their ears.
It has always been the Yiddishe way, for millennium, for the parents to make the shidduch decisions.
The kids making these decisions, to the extent it even happens (hopefully not too extensive), is a purely American thing without precedent in Jewish history.
Of course the boy and girl must agree to marry each other, that’s always been the case, but virtually everything up to that point always has, and should, go through the parents and shadchanim.
abooseinak: The Chasidim didn’t get it from the Teimanim. As was pointed out, all Ashkenazim used to have such Peyos even long before Chasidim existed. When the Goyim started forcing Jews to abandon having such Peyos most non-Chasidim didn’t resist those antisemitic decree whereas most Chasidim did resist and persisted in continuing to maintain such long Peyos hanging from the sides.
commonsaychel: It would be easier for you to point out every poster who is not a troll rather than informing us all everytime of everyone who is.
When/why did the Sefardim stop letting their Peyos hang from the sides of their faces? They weren’t subject to the Russian bans against Peyos and Jewish dress.
anIsraeliYid: If you spend too much time in this forum, eventually you (slowly but ever so surely) come around to my views. It is a deliberative and, for most, an indiscernible process. Few realize it until it is too late to revert. So, congratulations, on your being cognizant and self-aware of your change.
With great love and Ahavas Yisroel,
Ah Gutten Shabbos and Chag Kosher V’Sameach!

Being a better Eved Hashem. Covid was a warning shot from Shamayim.
1. When (time wise in history) did some people first start hiding their Peyos behind their ears?
2. Is it a fact that the reason was due to antisemitism? And was it pikuach nefesh? Even without noticeable Peyos a Jew can be identified as a Jew. When have we ever, in all of history, hidden that we are Jews?!
3. What is the reason some people curl their Peyos?
4. Why do some wear their Peyos over their head/under their Yarmulka, coming out on the other side of their face?
5. How long should the Peyos *ideally* be, not considering antisemitism or other external/non-halachic factors?
6. What is the reason some people have *no* Peyos hanging from their sides (i.e. not even hidden behind the ear)?
BP, such scepticism predates Covid.
How about placing the bookmark in the Chumash at the next Parsha.
Marxist: Your having seen it in no way demonstrates that it is permissible.
Wolf: Awaiting your rejoinder or concession.
Wolf: Why didn’t you sleep, despite your schedule, considering you knew the obligation?
Nero became a Yid. The fiddling accusation was a defamatory lible and slander against him by the goyim angry at his becoming Jewish.
Reminder: Putin has nukes at his personal disposal.
And now?
America has confiscatory “laws” too, that unfairly seize private property for nebulous reasons.
“These sources are saying that it’s assur? Or that there’s just no mitzvah? I never heard that it’s assur for women to get drunk (privately at least)”
Yes, it is assur for women to get drunk.
“On a more (slightly) serious note, you’ve got to be really, really drunk to get to ad d’lo yoda.”
Correct. And there’s the widely accepted and followed Psak Halacha that that’s exactly what one is required to do every Purim.
Despite TLIK’s false insinuation that those following this Psak Halacha do so for “hedonistic “reasons*.
A so -called “no fly zone” is an obvious act of war. America declares a no fly zone and one hour later Russian warplanes violate it. Does America shoot down Russian war planes? If so, America and Russia are immediately at war and Russia can shoot missiles into Washington and New York. If not, the no fly zone is a joke.
1. Against
2. Yes
3. No
For some people 9:00 might still be too early.
And I’m just a volunteer?
He was too good for you. You did him a favor by saving him the trouble of getting rid of you.
