    I know of a few people who have gotten divorced or are in the process of getting divorced

    What do you think is the reason for it?

    The reasons are the following…

    By the first couple he likes chocolate whereas she likes vanilla. Their food incompatibilities are irreconcilable.

    By the second couple he’s a night owl whereas she’s an early bird. As such, they hardly ever talk to each other.

    By the third couple he’s a city slicker whereas she’s a country girl. It was a bad match from the getgo.

    Charlie, New York City itself (not just the other parts of the State) will be losing Congressional representation after the current census reappointment due to the fact that not only did NYC lose population in 2020 but the city has failed to proportionally keep up with the average national population growth.

    This is about as dumb a suggestion as I’ve ever heard. Having more children is a POSITIVE, not a negative. That’s what we all daven for. Furthermore, this ignores SAHM (stay-at-home-moms) who observe the traditional Jewish lifestyle outlined in the kesuba of where the husband works and supports the wife whereas the mother mothers their children rather than letting the kinderlach be brought up by the Polish or Spanish cleaning lady. Are you assuming that being a housewife is out of style after five thousand years?

    Rather marry a woman from an upper middle class or wealthy family that will support you than follow something as delirious as the OP. The influence of the modern goyishe ideal of 2.3 kids and a dog needs to be kept as far away from us as all other foreign ideas.

    I understood him to mean that he’s uncertain whether he’d have the courage. Correct me if that’s a misunderstanding. So let’s modify the question to where he knows he doesn’t lack the courage.

    There is however, some dispute as to what age the Chazon Ish was referring to when the proper tznius guidelines should be instituted. Rav Yaakov Kamenetzky opined that until age five, there is no doubt that there is no issue. After that, he maintained that it is not clear-cut and it would depend on each individual girl; he posited that one should therefore be stringent from age five. However, most poskim estimate that the Chazon Ish meant age 6 – 7, depending on the individual girl.

    aoish: See the Mishna Berurah (Biur Halacha 75 s.v. tefach, quoting the Shulchan Shlomo ad loc. 1) regarding that they are required from age three. The Chazon Ish (Moed – O.C. 16, 8 s.v. Kasav b’Mishna Berurah) maintains that they are not required until a girl’s body starts to mature, which Rav Wozner says is by age seven at the latest. Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach (Halichos Shlomo on Tefillah Ch. 20, 9) says that even ‘yereim l’dvar Hashem’ do not have to follow the Mishna Berura on this point, but rather to be lenient and follow the Chazon Ish’s ruling.

    Holding the hand to cross the street you can do for an old lady, too. But anything you cannot do with a 28 year old lady an uncle (or any non-relative) cannot do with his niece (or any girl) once she is three years old, according to the Chofetz Chaim. The other shitta is from the Chazon Ish who holds it is no later than when she reaches age seven, but may be an earlier than that age if she’s bodily more mature beforehand.

    The Democrats and the Lefts acquiesce, acceptance and support of the insurrection and riots by BLM/Antifa burning Portland, Seattle, Chicago and numerous other American cities, targeting federal buildings, police stations, police officers and other targets, including murdering and maiming police officers and citizens as well as causing billions of dollars in property damage, is quite telling.

    It was far far worse and lasted much much longer than the three hours trespassing of the Capitol. And far more people were hurt and killed and property damaged.

    The Democrats and the Left “only” support the “correct” kind of insurrection committed by their own people.

    Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick was a Trump supporter.

    The Democrats have not apologized and admitted they were wrong to support the riotous insurrectionists during the BLM/Antifa uprising burning multiple cities across the United States, by thousands of left-wing criminals killing and injuring scores more people over many months then the three-hours one time riot by a couple hundred people in DC.

    It is also noteworthy that when police officers killed black violent criminal thugs engaged in malicious activity the BLM/Antifa/left-wing rioted and were supported by Democrats because the dead criminal was engaged in violence but unarmed. On the other hand, when a white unarmed non-dangerous U.S. veteran woman engaged in non-violent trespassing in the Capitol building and was shot dead for the high crime of attempting to go through a broken window, the Democrats and the Left had no complaints over her being killed by a police officer.

    Avram, of course. I don’t think too many folks would disagree. But two points to consider is that the environmental wackos 1) want to prohibit useful activity for humanity and 2) under the guise of science claim that certain activities are harmful when the evidence of such is very weak.

    A “riot” in Israel usually means burning the garbage and blocking streets. Anywhere else that would be considered a peaceful protest using civil disobedience.

    Trump has been a blessing for the Jews. Trump has eschewed and rejected the tiny number of extremist and antisemites who tried to latch unto him despite his lifetime and presidency of being a best friend to the Jews, going far out of his way to help Jews despite it having no personal or political benefit to himself.

    The 117th United States Congress began on January 3, 2021. The United States Senate has already voted on a majority leader, Mitch Mcconnell, and Republican committee leaders.

    Frankly, if they wanted to play hardball, Republicans could refuse to have a vote to cede Leader Mcconnell’s position as majority leader. A vote is only scheduled once at the beginning of each term, which has already occurred.

    If that really wanted to play hardball, the Republican Senate majority could even refuse to seat the newly elected Senator(s) from Georgia.
