In the early days of the coffee room it was chock full of young maidelech. (Check the decade old threads.)
Avram, your last comment is legally incorrect. The ICC is an international agreement only binding upon its signatories. Its rules, statues and agreements are not international law or binding upon any non-signatories. That’s a legal fact that isn’t under dispute.
The ICC has no jurisdiction to indict or request extradition of any parties or state nationals, that committed any gruesome acts outside any jurisdiction not party to the ICC.
Avira,
Rav Avrohom Pam ZTVK”L signed a letter supporting R. Helbrans, YBL”C Rav Dovid Schustel Shlit”a made a parlor meeting in his house supporting R. Helbrans. So did the Bobover Rebbe, the Skulener Rebbe, the Melbourner, and twenty other Gedolei Yisroel come out in support of him.
Avram, Russia is not party to the Rome Statute of the ICC and its rules are not international law binding upon non-signatories.
Any credit card with the contactless feature (it’ll have that wireless symbol on your card), which is almost any card issued these days, can be used to pay the bus/subway OMNI system, without anything else. No smartphone or special card needed.
I live in Meah Shearim part of the year.
“I think you’ve been reading too many magazines.”
Probably AMI and Mishpacha.
Avira, your point is valid. But, unless I missed it, I didn’t see anyone saying Ukrainian citizens aren’t suffering.
Avira, well said.
I’m still using tokens to pay for the subway. Don’t know much about these newfangled stuff like MetroCards.
Ari, you’d benefit from having your father strange a shidduch for you with a girl’s father. Once the two fathers agree, you’d meet the girl. After the meeting and both agreeing, they set a wedding date for you.
Israeli chareidim don’t vacation. They use their money wisely. For the essentials. They don’t have much more than that, nor do they wish or need more than that.
Avira, what about Russian Yidden?
No.
Christianity is a cult. It’s founder, who claimed to be g-d, was a cult leader. It’s claims are as absurd as they get.

Good luck trying to get Russia to extradite Putin to the ICC.
The divorce rate in Frum communities where the parents are less (or not) involved in the Shidduch research and selection is significantly higher than in the communities where the parents are more involved.
Marxist: The Zionists collaborated with the Nazis. For example, Rudolf Kastner with Adolf Eichmann.
TS Baum, the Arizal is saying that they shouldn’t be longer than the beard; and if they are longer than the beard, then you should cut them to be less long than past the beard. But he writes to not to cut them before the point that they reach the beard.
Mods, Did my new thread entitled Keitzad Merakdim come through on Erev Shabbos?
don’t see it anywhere
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.

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.
