N0m: Very many do.
After following my prescription from my last comment, Republicans should double the size of the federal circuit courts, triple the size of the Appeals Courts and enlarge the Supreme Court to 15 members. Then fill all those hundreds of new judicial positions in quick roll-call votes in the Senate, completed all within a couple of weeks with any Democrat obstruction quickly overruled by the newly appointed Republican Senate parliamentarian.
N0m: An unlocked door that everyone knows you may not enter anyways, barring an emergency, does not alleviate the fact that it is still Yichud. Even if there’s someone in the waiting room. And if there’s no one else there, you’re doubly in violation.
N0m: Are you really disagreeing with Chazal?!
N0m is the king of contradictions.
In principle I’m strongly in favor of getting rid of the filibuster. Politically, I hope the Democrats fail to get rid of it (just like Trump couldn’t get rid of it). And when Republicans control all three levels of government again, the Republicans get rid of the filibuster, all while gleefully telling the Democrats that 49 out of 50 of you leftists supported getting rid of it a couple years ago so take your hypocrisy elsewhere. And then Republicans pass on party-line votes 75 years worth of Republican desired legislation, including reversing all Democrat programs since FDR.
Wolf: Are you diabetic?
Nashim Da’atan Kalos
N0m: The Torah prohibits Yichud. The Torah doesn’t give an exception for therapists/patients to have Yichud.
Reb Eliezer, what are you doing this Nittel?
Hopefully squeak will soon be back here to make his move, now that we’re almost two years into Covid.
OP, you are bringing some facts and mixing in a lot of opinions that you’re calling facts. Many of your points are wrong.

YRockStar: I think you should trade positions with Rav Kuber; you should call yourself a Rov and start giving hadrocha to people and give yourself the right to give your deios to Klal Yisroel. While you’ll give your colorful clothing to Rav Kuber and teach him a thing or two about being singing rock songs for his new day gig.
Gadolhadorah: The last time you agreed with my you said that it was “the first time and probably the last time.”
Are we starting to see a pattern?
It looks like my shlichus in the CR is starting to bear fruit.
Godol is a relative term; it means someone who stands out among his generation in greatness, which is measured in terms of Torah knowledge, and righteousness. There is no measurable threshold beyond which you are categorically a “godol”, like there is when a person gets a medical degree and becomes a “doctor.” Being that the term is relative, different people apply it to different levels for people, and even among those who are commonly referred to as Gedolim, they are not all the same. Rav Shach was a Godol, but he was not the Chazon Ish, for example.
You will not find the phrase “posek hador” used anywhere in any meaningful way. The Tzitz Eliezer uses it all over the place in his titles, and either the Teshuvos Maharshal writes it among the titles to the Ramah, or the Teshuvos Ramah about the Maharshal. I forget. But in any case, the title connotes no halachic status.
Rav Moshe isn’t always the final word in America either. Roshei Yeshiva and Poskim, such as Rav Hutner, Rav Eli Meyer Bloch of Telz, the Debreciner Rav, the Chelkas Yaakov and others, sided with the Satmar Rebbe over Rav Moshe regarding the obligatory size of a mechitzah in a shul, and/or the permissibility of artificial insemination, which were the two big disagreements that those Gedoim had in halacha. It was indeed Rav Hutner who approached the Satmar Rav asking him to write a refutation to Rav Moshe’s psak about the Mechitzos.
AAQ: The Torah/Halacha already gives an order of triage in prioritizing whose lives you save first. There’s no need to reinvent the wheel and offer your own order (i.e. weight, size, etc.)
N0m: After the Titanic sunk, the U.S. Congress held hearings on why any men (other than those needed to row the lifeboats) were saved, when there were still women on board who did not make it to a lifeboat and went down with the ship. In other words, the august body of lawmakers in Washington were angry that any men were saved before every woman could be saved.
Getting back to the original point, if a ship is sinking but it is very clear that there is sufficient time to organize a triage of prioritizing certain passengers to be saved first, and still save the maximum number of passengers possible given the fact that there are insufficient space in the lifeboats for everyone, do you then still insist on disagreeing with following halachic priority of who to save first (i.e. the men before the women, etc.) and would you still insist, despite the clarity that there’s time to triage in the halachic order and still save the maximum number of lives, that the halachic order of saving lives be disregarded?
What’s a “skip”? Clear out what? Which “winter holidays”?
They’re not taking them out of circulation; nor are they changing its status as legal tender. Businesses are and will remain legally obligated to accept pennies for payment.
RW: Pennies will remain legal tender for all debts, pubic and private, indefinitely.
YO: You’ve been fooling us all along?!
They let you out so fast?
Where do I file a complaint?
The penny is far from gone.
YO: Don’t be so humble. We all recognize you as the greatest Sefardic voice we have.
A true Kollel family is where neither the husband nor the wife own or have access to a smartphone.
N0m: You used Rav Brudny as your proof. Your proof was absolutely false.
N0m: I *do* have an excellent idea of what’s going on. Which is why I shared the accurate information with you in my previous comment, to respond to your erroneous point prior.
N0m: Halacha has what to say regarding selling land in EY to non-Jews. Or to bring them from outside to EY for permanent residency, for that matter.
N0m: The Mirrer Yeshiva in Flatbush, where Rav Brudny is Rosh Yeshiva, elementary and mesivta decidedly did NOT use Zoom.
They should expel all the Goyim who immigrated to Eretz Yisroel, whether because they descended from some Jewish grandfather, or they had a fake conversion or however else they got there.
Has anyone heard of a shul that banned a frum Yid from shul at all, let alone for such a petty infraction?!?
N0m: Yes, you’re confused. It was the younger more modern Yeshivos that permitted zoom.
Here in London our Federation Beis Din has “ShailaText” (texting only) for shailos:
Text: +44 7403 939613
It is available internationally.
N0m: in response to the recent CW tragedy, just in the last week alone I’ve seen many choshuve and prominent Rabbonim and poskim insist that people should only use therapist as the same gender of themselves or their child.
Are there any others that haven’t been mentioned, or newer services?
Hang signs all over the walls imploring people to return Seforim to their correct shelf, immediately after use.
IMHO, with a stress on the “H”, the reason for all the unnecessary stress people experience in shidduchim is because the tzibbur has moved further and further away from how Yiddishe shidduchim have been done for time immemorial. When Tattes were Tattes and when kinderlach were kinder, two Tattes would get together and agree that my Yankel in Cheder is a perfect match for your Shaindel in your Yiddishe shteeb. A few years after the Bar Mitzvah we’ll make a nice little chasuna, with the Seudas Mitzvah on Friday night after Shabbos davening.
I don’t know if we can get all the way back to that ideal, though that should be the goal certainly, but surely we should move back as close to the above scenario as practical and feasible.
Videos can have highly inappropriate content. Once you permit “kosher” videos, you lose a large degree of controlling/stopping emails from containing non-kosher videos.
You’re very very far from the only one. Many people are in the same shoes.
