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.
AAQ: You incorrectly assume someone who doesn’t eat gebrochts even has the right to decide to eat gebrochts when at a relative who does, for shalom bayis or whatever other purported reason. That right may not exist.
There she goes again with her veibeshel “Torah”.
TLIK: Are you taking it upon your shoulders to condemn the Gedolei Poskim who rule there’s a chiyuv to get stone drunk on Purim?
Note that, rightfully, no one objects to any of the Poskim who rule one can fulfill the obligation with something less than stone drunk, such as with some extra sleep etc., or those that legitimately follow those shittos.
But on the same token, no one has the right to condemn the Gedolei Hador and Roshei Yeshivos, both contemporary and of yesteryear, who pasken an obligation to get drunk, and whom publicly get completely drunk themselves every Purim and advise their bochorim and adherents to do the same.
“I don’t identify with any community.”
Wolf: Repent O’Sinner. (Just goading you, sorry)
Seriously, every Yid must belong to a community. Please join a Yiddishe kehila/community ASAP that you will consider yourself part of and bound to follow.
Wolf: That’s absolutely incorrect. Great Britain is a Constitutional Monarchy (even though the United Kingdom lacks a written constitution) and a strict adherent to the rule of law. Indeed, the rule of law is one of the longest established common law fundamental principles of the governance of the United Kingdom, dating to Magna Carta of 1215. Britain could not and would not in the modern era discard the rule of law and its own constitutional principles to allegedly effect an act or law that is constitutionally void and legally invalid, such as purporting to extra-constitutionally effect an act that lacks legal legitimacy under the rule of law due to a lack of royal assent.
GHD: Don’t mix-up “EY” with the State of Israel. They’re two very different entities.
Wolf: Your community might legitimately hold from the shitta that sleeping can replace getting drunk. You’re halachicly okay, then. Many others come from communities that pasken l’halacha that it is obligatory to get drunk, literally. They cannot choose to pick another more convenient shitta rather than their kehila’s Psak.
Wolf: The British Parliament lacks unilateral power to remove the monarch or abolish the monarchy since the monarch can deny such an act royal assent, which would effectively ensure such an act doesn’t become legally effective.
Ad Dlo Yoda is a chiyuv to get drunk in the literal sense, according to many shittos. Those many Yidden who take their halachic obligations seriously and are parts of the many communities that abide by these shittos know that this halachic chiyuv, like others, starts when one reaches the age of Bar Mitzvah.
The Chofetz Chaim’s2 Rebbetsin was illiterate. So what?
Until not that long ago, relatively speaking, all matzos were hand matzos, as there were no machines. It’s absurd to say hand matzos are worse than machine. Did 2500+ years of ancestors use a less than optimal matzah?
AAQ: Sorry, can’t mish.
