English is not the new Yiddish.
Yiddish was, s and remains the international language of Jewry.
ujmParticipantA troll is someone you strongly disagree with. Sometimes the “troll” will make strong arguments that you can’t objectively refute, so you’re such yelling “troll” to deflect your intolerance of the facts.
ujmParticipantAre you asking about biological age or are you asking about age of maturity?
ujmParticipantJack, under the law when an officer mistakenly and unintentionally kills a criminal attempting to flee justice (especially with the added factors of assaulting an officer and having an outstanding warrant for arrest), he is granted more justification by the law itself in being absolved than a general citizen. And rightly so.
ujmParticipantJust to note I was being rhetorical. I’m only trying to understand the logic. Explaining the differences between using one but not the other might address the subconscious motivation.
ujmParticipantWolf, perhaps you should start doing so.
ujmParticipantJack, when a criminal shoves a police officer and flees from him in a motor vehicle, he bears the most responsibility if the officer makes a mistake when reacting to enforce the law and prevent him fleeing. The law specifically gives police officers, who are risking their lives, extra leeway in case they make a mistake when enforcing the law.
ujmParticipantWelcome Back BaalHabooze! It’s been ages. Your seventh anniversary should be coming up. Mazel Tov!
ujmParticipantYechi: As far as the mistake, it isn’t uncommon. There are more than a handful of previous cases of officers mistakenly using their gun when they intended to use their Taser.
As far as why she being all agitated while the male officers were chilled, as you suggested women shouldn’t be police officers.
And as far as the underlying situation itself, the greatest responsibility for this tragedy lies with Wright himself for resisting arrest, shoving the officer and attempting to flee by speeding off.
ujmParticipantYechi: Are tznius violations common at Kiamesha Lanes?
ujmParticipantWolf, as I asked you above, do you utilize “ma’am” with your female immediate family as you do “sir” with your male immediate family?
ujmParticipantThere’s no such thing as “chance”.
ujmParticipantA Chareidi is simply anyone who aims to follow the entire Torah/Taryag *without* looking for compromises or loopholes.
ujmParticipantThough we cannot discount that the rabbonim who organize very late minyanim in their Bais Medrash have a halachic source permitting so.
April 8, 2021 9:55 pm at 9:55 pm in reply to: When the Jews of Constantinople saved hundreds of Armenians fom certain death #1963575ujmParticipantIs it muttar for a yehudi to save a nochri if no one would know if he didn’t, and thus no risk of Chillul Hashem?
April 8, 2021 7:59 pm at 7:59 pm in reply to: An Observation on the Way Some Jews Pronounce Words #1963562ujmParticipantThe “few first men” theory is based on the absurdity that a tiny group of Jewish men who married non-Jewish European women begat the tens or hundreds of millions of offspring.
April 8, 2021 6:32 pm at 6:32 pm in reply to: An Observation on the Way Some Jews Pronounce Words #1963552ujmParticipantAAQ: “small group of first men Ashkenazim” is crock.
ujmParticipantAnd how do you explain the many contemporary minyanim, each with the Rov of the Beis Medrash’s approval, that start after sof zman tefila or even after Chatzos?
April 8, 2021 11:25 am at 11:25 am in reply to: Do our eyes tell us what happened to GEORGE FLOYD #1963363ujmParticipantChauvin objectively deserves to be acquitted of murder. But the BLM/Antifa lynch mob ready to burn down Minneapolis, Louisville, Seattle,Portland etc. demanding a verdict of guilty, on threat of a riot, will in all likelihood scare the court and jurors in carrying out the mobs demand for a specific verdict.
ujmParticipantWhere is this article available?
I heard recently that Linden is taking off. You should also mention Staten Island. Bloomingburg is Satmar. Hasn’t Klausenburg been in Union for decades already? There’s also Jersey City.
April 8, 2021 6:46 am at 6:46 am in reply to: How can I get my sefer into the hands of yeshiva bochurim #1963259ujmParticipantWhat’s the name of the Sefer and where can it be obtained?
ujmParticipantAAQ: The reason Sephardim wear black fedora hats is because the Ashkenazim set it as the default dress of Bnei Torah.
April 8, 2021 3:13 am at 3:13 am in reply to: An Observation on the Way Some Jews Pronounce Words #1963238ujmParticipantAAQ: If you accept to believe what the goyish antisemites so-called reverse historians most recent version of their discoveries. Do you also accept their Khzar theories?
ujmParticipantReb Eliezer, did you see my question to you?
April 8, 2021 3:12 am at 3:12 am in reply to: Do our eyes tell us what happened to GEORGE FLOYD #1963240ujmParticipant“That may be true, but the prosecution has argued that the police have a responsibility to do all they can to keep a person in their custody healthy, especially if he’s restrained, i.e. in handcuffs.”
Even if an officer failed to keep a prisoner healthy, that failure isn’t legally murder.
ujmParticipantAgree with what?
ujmParticipantGeorgia did the right thing.
ujmParticipantCA: Can you summarize Rabbi Feiner’s thoughts on this?
April 7, 2021 11:19 am at 11:19 am in reply to: Do our eyes tell us what happened to GEORGE FLOYD #1963039ujmParticipantGeorge Floyd was not choked to death. He was not asphyxiated. He was not killed by Chauvin’s knee on the side of his neck. An autopsy showed Floyd’s neck muscles were not even bruised.
Floyd died when his heart stopped. Yet, he was already suffering from an enlarged heart with constricted arteries, one of five of which was 90% blocked and two others were 75% blocked.
An autopsy found heavy concentrations of fentanyl in Floyd’s system and traces of methamphetamines. If Floyd had collapsed and died in the street while being wrested into the squad car, his death would have been attributed to a drug overdose and a bad heart.
Also, a videotape of the minutes prior to Floyd’s being put on the pavement, his neck under Chauvin’s knee, shows Floyd crying, repeatedly, “I can’t breathe,” while resisting the two rookie cops trying to put him in the patrol car.
Moreover, there is testimony from those with Floyd when he was stopped for passing an allegedly phony $20 bill, that he had passed out in the car before the cops arrived. And the arresting cops claim he was foaming at the mouth before being restrained.
In short, Chauvin’s defense attorneys will likely make a credible case, backed by evidence, that Floyd’s death was not caused by the knee on his neck but by the battered condition of his heart, the near-lethal dose of fentanyl in his system, and his anxiety and panic at being arrested and fearing, as he wailed, that he was going to be shot.
April 7, 2021 11:17 am at 11:17 am in reply to: Do our eyes tell us what happened to GEORGE FLOYD #1963040ujmParticipantIn preparing for the trial of Chauvin, Minneapolis has fortified, with concrete barriers, fences and razor wire, the courthouse where it is held in. Understandably, for any acquittal of Chauvin, or conviction on a lesser charge than murder, could trigger a riot like those that plagued the city through the summer of 2020.
And if a mob does take to the streets in Minneapolis, as it did all last summer, the national reaction will be telling. How does one accurately describe a crowd that gathers outside a courthouse to demand, on the threat of a riot, a verdict of guilty?
And should a riot occur — and violent protests in Louisville, Seattle and Portland recently seem to point to another such long hot summer — may we expect our new national leaders (Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer) to denounce the mob and stand up unequivocally for the rule of law?
ujmParticipantbesalel: Are you suggesting that a “Beaver Hit” is the right choice?
April 7, 2021 10:27 am at 10:27 am in reply to: An Observation on the Way Some Jews Pronounce Words #1963023ujmParticipantlot11210: It is commonly known and long recognized that the Teimani pronunciation is closest to the original.
Between the Ashkenazic and Sefardic pronunciations there are claims one is better than the other. But even though Ashkenazim came from Eretz Yisroel while Sefardim came from Bovel, it is unknown between those two which is slightly closer to the original.
ujmParticipantWhat did those hundreds of families who went to Orlando and found out at the last minute that they had no place to stay end up doing?
ujmParticipantThere are millions of aliens in the US. Including, approximately, eleven million illegal aliens.
ujmParticipantReb Eliezer, how have some tzadikim (in recent times) davened Shachris after Chatzos (or Mincha after tzeis), sometimes even with a minyan (Ribnitz Rebbe ZT”L, etc.)
April 7, 2021 8:30 am at 8:30 am in reply to: An Observation on the Way Some Jews Pronounce Words #1962976ujmParticipantFor the same reason there’s a difference in pronunciation between Yidden from Lita vs Galicia vs Hungary vs Germany vs Italy vs Syria vs Yemen vs Morocco.
Or the differences in the (so-called) “Chasidish havara” vs the Litvish havara vs the Sefardic havara vs the Teimani havara (which is actually closest to what we used at Har Sinai.)
ujmParticipantIt is a Minhag Yisroel to eat at home during Pesach.
ujmParticipantIf you didn’t know what label is under the hat, virtually no one in the street could tell the difference between one black fedora and another.
ujmParticipantJews were a majority of the residents in jerusalem since the 1700s or 1800s as a result of the Chasidim and Litvish who moved there from Europe.
ujmParticipantmeirs: How long after zman tefila is it still okay to daven?
ujmParticipantOftentimes some of the official stories published on the site are chock full of l”h, r and ms”r. That’s even before any comments.
ujmParticipant“If you owe me money can I harass your family until you pay me back?”
Pashut08701: Excellent point. And not only harass the family, but outright publicly mevayish (embarrass) the innocent family members. Can you publicly humiliate family members of someone who r’l beat someone, burnt down someone’s house or even killed someone? Of course not. No Beis Din anywhere ever gave permission to disgrace any family member of someone who has wronged someone else.
ujmParticipantYechi Hamelech: Your republishing those comments here makes it worse, by spreading it to even more people who otherwise wouldn’t have seen it.
ujmParticipantNechama: What price is the breaking point?
ujmParticipantDown for renovations.
ujmParticipantShe’s not mechuyiv.
ujmParticipantAre you feeling better?
ujmParticipantdass1: He nevertheless bears responsibility for the travesty because he opened the can of worms by allowing anything in the first place without specifying any limits.
hml: Doing that runs a serious risk of causing them to hit age 37 being single.
ujmParticipantHow do they taste differently?
