This is a famous question.
AAQ: Was Rav Moshe zt’l your friend, that you’re on a first name basis with him?
Avi,
1. No sovereignty isn’t, prior to Moshiach.
2. The zionist government protects, defends and encourages toeiva, r”l, in their state.
AAQ,
The spiritual live in Eretz Yisroel, which predates the existence of the State, is despite the best efforts of the State to interfere with it.
And don’t bother with the false premise of money distributed. The money received is a) less than the communities tax burdens and b) less than the money the State distributes to secular universities.
What are the actual halachic and what are the actual hashkafic issues in regards to taking in the Mikva?
Yseribus: If the State removed army service as a condition to permitting citizens to become employed, Chareidim would be in the official workforce in huge numbers.
HaLeVi: Please explain what the halachic issues allegedly are and what the hashkafic issues allegedly are.
huju: A woman in the army is akin to placing an elementary school student as your local firefighter. That your woman friend pays taxes makes her no different than any other taxpayer. And her employees make her like millions of other small businessmen.
If she became frum, Klal Yisroel would win regardless of where in the world she lived. If she is replaced by a Torah observant Jew, then the world wins.
Ah, so Chabad of Lakewood is alive and well.

“whereas in America many if not most jobs are closed to anyone who is at all frum (defined as Shomer Shabbos, Shomer Kashrus) either because the job requires work on Saturday, or the job requires living in an area where there are no frum shuls or schools).”
akuperma: What on earth are you talking about? The vast majority of jobs in America are available without needing to work on Shabbos and have kosher food in the area. Indeed, most if not all major American cities, where the majority of good paying jobs are located, have frum communities in town.
Satmar is famous for hachnosas orchim. Perhaps Satmar of Lakewood can help.
huju: Your friend would do far better for both herself and for Klal Yisroel by living a Torah observant life in the Philippines than by living a secular life in Israel.
Is there anywhere (other than Kiryas Yoel and New Square) that lacks a Chabad house?
Vote No to all the proposed constitutional amendments in NY.
P.S. This is a general election open to all. It isn’t a “Democrat” primary.
The day is properly called Erev Shabbos.
Contemporary public schools indoctrinate their children with secularism, antireligion and left-wing dogmas.
TLIK: And who do you think is best suited to make that decision of yay or nay?
No. No.
You really knew all that, right?
MBD also used goyishe tunes.
Another episode of the Health-ubiquitin squabble! Pass the popcorn and enjoy the show.
Regularly scheduled commercials will resume in sixteen days, following the ending of this fun-filled part.
Novelty, what was the “little bit of an interesting family history”?

There’s a big Sopron kehila in Williamsburg.
Did Yiddishkeit survive in Hungary until 1956 and after ’56 the frum left the country?
WB Reb Wolf. It’s been ages since you last graced us with your presence.
The zionist government has been beating frum Jews mercilessly since 1948.
TLIK: More often than not the fighting between exes after a divorce is more bitter than it was when they were still married. And after divorce they are far far more likely to be using the poor innocent children as their pawns in fighting with their ex than they ever did while still living together.
Divorcing to “spare the children” from the fighting is typically a foolhardy course of action that is counterproductive. All that is “gained” is now the children are no longer living with both their parents, having traded that in for a broken home with a missing parent who they’re lucky to see once a week instead of seven days a week.
Growing up without both full time parents causes far more harm than acknowledged.

R”LReb Eliezer, how did life in Hungary change between 1945 and 1956 compared to Jewish life in Hungary before World War 2? And how did it change after 1956?
Arranged marriages have a higher rate of being happier and working out better. Compare the secular world or the MO world.
There’s no contract when you buy a book or CD.
What if they put in the fine print on back of the CD cover “Purchase of this product executes an agreement between you and the publisher that you agree to pay an annual fee of $500 for the next ten years.” You notice this when you open the CD. What is the halachic deadline for you to submit your first (of ten) $500 payment?
A good goy is an oxymoron.
Why do some places call their school for younger children “Cheder” whereas others do not?
aposhiteyid: You’re 100% correct. It irks me to no end when some divorcees say their marriage was a mistake or it should never have happened. Are they saying that their children were a mistake?!
ujm,
“People who recovered from Covid do not need the vaccine”
Maybe if they had sufficient antibodies the argument might make some sense. Just because someone had covid in the past does not make them immune, there are a lot of people that got covid twice.
Getting Covid twice is rare.
Based on your argument (not mine), you shouldn’t vaccinated since people can get Covid despite being vaccinated.
For those rare cases of getting Covid a second time (or a first time after vaccinating), the symptoms are very rarely severe.
Indeed, European countries accept proof of having recovered from Covid as a basis to not vaccinate and still be permitted in places where otherwise only vaccinated people are permitted.
America refuses to do that only for political reasons.
Should poor people never marry if they grew up poor and remained poor until age 45 and beyond? Lacking financial stability was never a heter to delay marriage.
On the same vein, being poor is not a heter to eat non-kosher if kosher food costs a lot more.
How can Yidden catch up on the latest news if we don’t talk in the Mikva??
Napoleon asked his advisors what the best way he can find out what’s going on in the country with regular folks. After much thought they advised him the only place to find out what’s going on is to go to the Mikva. They prepared him well, trained him how things work there and dressed him like a nice Yiddele.
Napoleon comes to the Mikva on an Erev Shabbos. After his seventh dunk he asks the others with him “vus is nays”? So they immediately reply, “You didn’t hear? Napoleon is coming to the Mikva this week!”
Only Beis Din is permitted to administer corporal punishment.
People who recovered from Covid do not need the vaccine.
He doesn’t need to be vaccinated.
