History studyingIs the American Hamodia completely different than the Israeli Hamodia, in the same way that the American Yated is completely and radically different than the Israeli Yated (to the point that they have extreme disagreements and different viewpoints in virtually every subject)?
The U.S. used to have a half-cent coin.

Another consideration America has had discussions over the last few years is to eliminate the $1 bill and replace it with the $1 coin.If you choose Passaic, send regards to squeak; if you choose Chicago, send regards to Syag.
Is the name “Gil” a secular/non-Hebrew name (perhaps short for Gilbert) or is it an Israeli-Hebrew secular name (as the secular Israelis have a habit of coming up with names heretofore unused) or is it a Jewish name that’s been in common use over the last number of centuries?
The medical term is “Long Covid”.
Daas Torah and secular studies were also well covered in the early years.
Infallibility is a straw man and red herring. No one claims it. Authorship of the Zohar is firmly established by the close to unanimous acceptance.
You mentioned how everyone outside saw *your* community split as both sides acting badly. Yet you then immediately make the same assumptions about *others* communities split.
Can anyone explain why Lubavitchers, whether Meshichists or non-Meshichists, believe that the last Lubavitcher Rebbe is more likely to be the Moshiach than the Rebbe Rayatz, Rashab, Baal HaTanya, the Baal Shem Tov, the Chasam Sofer, the Noda B’Yehuda, Rashi or Rashbi is likely to be Moshiach?
I heard (25 years ago) that a prutah is about 25 cents. With inflation, it may be more now.
Television, English education and Yiddish language were also discussions in early years of the CR. (You can find/revive most of those threads. Some, though, got so heated that the mods closed it for new posts.)
Kollel, MO, science were all major discussions, with many threads, in early years of the CR. So was feminism (which you forgot to include.)
Learning Zohar before age 40. (You and me have briefly argued this point. But it wasn’t ever finalized or fully explored.)
My earlier point was that translating Seforim Hakedoshim is not a simple matter. There has been strong legitimate opposition by Gedolei Yisroel to Artscoll translations. Obviously others disagreed, as testified by the haskamos.
ubiq, would you pick up a dime or a quarter?

10. Melbourne, AustraliaIsn’t their a translation on Chabad’s website?
Does this mean no more sales for $1.99 (or $19.99)??
Will all the 99 Cents stores need a new name — and a new price?
Syag, please don’t text and drive.
Who said translating it into a goyish language is a good thing?
Are R: Another example you might have considered using is that a great many Gedolim wrote condemnations against the Rambam and ordered the burning of the Rambam’s Seforim.
Should we emulate that now, too?
Bravo. Exactly correct.
Are R: Because when there’s a machlokes between Gedolei Yisroel, normal people are smart to keep their heads out of the machlokes.
Is your point that we must respect, love and be happy with Reform and Conservative Yidden?
A Harry is never Chasidish.
You’re late to the Bar Mitzvah, Health.
Post-Covid worldwide.
Reb Eliezer, Rav Moshe paskens (in multiple teshuvos) in the Igros Moshe that making a Bas Mitzvah party is kefira derived from the Reform/Conservative movements.
Where did you previously mention there being an audience, as a factor in consideration?
HaLeiVi: I gave him his answer over 13 years ago:
Reminder for ubiq: Tis the season to be shopping, for your Chanukamas presents. Chap your discounts on Black Friday, lalalala lalalala.
The fact that we have music in the Beis Hamikdash and Dovid Hamelech, Shlomo Hamelech, were musical, demonstrates there’s Jewish music.
There’s never been a protest anywhere where the majority of the population came out to the protest. Virtually all protests are participated in by less than a majority of the population. So your point about a minority isn’t relevant or provable.
