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”?
This website has no method or ability to connect strangers.
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.

Reb Eliezer, they use ורעיתו by non-Chasidim too.
Shkoyach.
What do you do once you had the screening and calculation?
Syag, huju is simply attempting to convey how much wiser he is than everyone else here.
Klal Yisroel doesn’t follow feminist trends.
There’s no expressly agreed terms when you pay for a book or CD at the supermarket.
Or when you borrow a book or CD from the library or a friend.
Other times they are very comfortable and happy to discuss the niftar’s illness.
HaLeVi: Are you suggesting that’s a basis for such matches to not be consummated in the first place?
Potatoes haven’t been around for that long, relatively speaking. They’re an American discovery. Wait till the next best thing comes out and displaces it.
Gilda: There’s nothing wrong about asking regarding the niftar’s illness.
OP, shouldn’t mentally ill Yidden feel free to be open to the public or at least to their friends and family about their illness, no less than physically ill Yidden may be about theirs?
Is the OP suggesting that mentally ill drug addicts who beat their wives should be public about all that?
AAQ: Do we need a 20th/21st century rabbi to quote whether and/or when we can wear shatnes or is a Psak Halacha from 200+ years ago that Klal Yisroel accepted as authoritative still good today without a new for a modern re-evaluation of shatnes? If Halacha on shatnes is still good unchanged, why does the Halacha on marriage need a 20th/21st century reform?
Avira, marriage is a whole different ballgame than anything else. That’s the case by almost everyone and every group. Rabbonim seek to marry their children to children of Rabbonim rather than the working class. Rebbe’s with Rebbishe families. Sefardim with Sefardim. Rich families with other wealthy families, etc. Sure, there are exceptions. But this was always the case thoroughout history.
The Christian missionary fake Jews are examples of real symptoms of this problem. But quantity-wise they are a tiny subset of the issue. The far larger issue is with the Reform/Conservative, where a large percentage of their members are gentiles.
HaLeVi: Please thank you brother, on my behalf, for bringing you back here.
TLIK:Vus vilstu? You asked me to quote the Halacha, so I did so for you. You wrote to me “If you have one, share the reference. If someone is not marriage material, regardless of any age, there is no posek that would push for marriage.” Pru urvu is the posek that makes it mandatory al pi Torah to get married. Yes, getting married is mandatory. I gave you the Gemorah and Shulchan Aruch that there is a halachicly required age deadline.
You don’t like the Halacha. It’s it 21st century, it is America, things are different. The Torah is from 3000 years ago, the Gemorah is from 1500 years ago, the Shulchan Aruch is from 500 years ago. Times are achanging. I’ve heard it all. But what do you want from me that you ask ”
And if it “is not pshat in the Gemora.”, pray tell please how does the Gemorah (and Shulchan Aruch) mean something other than the very simple, basic and straightforward words it clearly says.
And your maaisala of Rav Jenkins is completely twisted out of shape from what he in fact said, which was in regards to his disagreement with the Tzadik Hador, the Satmar Rebbe ZT’L, regarding shidduchim.
Regarding the Roshei Yeshivos and their talmidid, did you completely miss my citation of the shittos that anyone learning Torah full time has a dispensation to get married by later than before their 24th birthday? Of course, anyone not a full time learner is subject to being married by 20.
Again, I’m just relating the Halacha as it is stated in the Gemorah, Shulchan Aruch, etc. As you requested. I didn’t make the Halacha. Speak to Hashem with any complaints, please. I don’t take kvittelech.
The Gemara in Kiddushin says the maximum age for marriage is 20. The Shulchan Aruch in EH says a person should be beaten if he doesn’t get married by then. Beis Din can force Reuven to marry Dina if they are refusing to marry by the age.
Some shittos (Maharshal) hold that if he’s learning Torah full-time then he must get married by 24.
