> that is before they get married
Does your wife wear the pants?
It’s harder to be a good boy than to be a good girl. Boys have more expected of them. They’re expected to be on the path towards becoming a Talmid Chochom. Girls mostly have to keep out of trouble. If they know how to cook, sew and clean they’re already a top catch.
Syag, how was he tricked into signing the letter?
The worst part of the upgrade was that many hundreds of threads and thousands of old posts were lost. The second worst thing was the loss of all the Hebrew words in posts. The third worst zach was that thousands of threads duplicated the OP into five new threads.
I stand by my statement. But to each his own. Bottom line, it wasn’t much of an UPgrade.
Avira, the bloggers were mostly MOs.
Amil: For the future, please keep in mind to change your usage to “handyperson”.
YO: There’s a big difference between using the months, which has no religious connotations, and using the year, which counts the birth of their Avoda Zora.
RE: There’s no Avoda Zora connotations in the perukim.
msern: Whilst I cannot argue with your point that your spouse could’ve done better as you’re beneath her, nevertheless your more generalized comment about FFBs is laughably off base and bears no semblance to reality.
Amil: Congrats on using the politically correct “cleaning person”.
Has it ever been a man?
CTL: Many Russian nuclear scientists who moved to New York became taxi drivers.
YO: You’re still a believer in the Christian calendar counting the years of their lord?
The husband is the halachic authority of the wife and children. Any uncertainty he has regarding a Halacha, he needs to consult with his Rov/Posek.
Avram wasn’t worried whether Terach would notice that he smashed his Avoda Zora.
AAQ: Perhaps you could argue that Bernie Madoff is the fault of a crooked environment on Wall Street and business schools that didn’t nurture ethics over profits.
Many short skirted folks pretend to be kosher, too.
CS: Can you translate your comment into English?
Do Non-Moshichists Lubavitchers believe that the Rebbe is not Moshiach?
Is that because the New York metropolitan area is home to a disproportionate percent of high income families?
P.S. Make sure you don’t delegate bringing up your children to the Polish (or Spanish) cleaning lady.
Look what you did to your brother. He was gone for over a year, you invited him back (*cough*cough*), and now he has been posting incessantly for almost a week already.
It isn’t the Security Council that’s the main problem. The United States has a veto there, which they routinely use to veto anti-Israel resolutions. The General Assembly is much more of an issue. And the UN (so-called) “Human Rights” Council devotes most of its time on Israel whilst ignoring North Korea, Iran, Syria, etc.
WB Dr. Hall!
You’re probably missing something.
AAQ: You might consider asking yourself why you’re more sympathetic to her than you are to the other case. L’maaisa, aside from sinning herself she’s causing untold thousands of others to sin, both unwillingly (they saw her unwittingly) and willingly (they took a second look, when if not for her they wouldn’t have.) It is unrealistic to impossible to expect society at large to close their eyes when crossing the street or to otherwise not notice.
It’s like becoming Jewish. Once in you can’t leave.
“I have found that when those who don’t have children in the public schools try to take over a local school board it is often an attempt to keep expenditures down and local property taxes down.”
CTL: I’m sure you heard of the good ‘ole American saying “No taxation without representation.” If you want to tax the people, those people have a right to be represented and a say. They had a right to seek to reduce expenses. If you don’t like that, then don’t tax them.
CTL: In NYC and many other municipalities the parents and taxpayers are given no opportunity at board meetings to have any influence over the curriculum.
A nekudah on our attitudes: I mentioned to kids a story of Bernie Madoff.
One asks: Was he frum?
We settled that one can only ask: was he “frum”?AAQ: I’m sure if the kid asked whether a woman who was dressed in a skirt which didn’t always cover her knees and above whether she was frum, you’d similarly conclude with him that you could only ask whether she was “frum”.
All countries in the world are members of the UN, except the Vatican.
Philosopher, there are very few countries in the world that aren’t part of the UN.
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.
