Giving money to a nochri is not considered to be tzedaka.
There’s a limit how high frum families will purchase an apartment on. Too high a floor becomes a problem on Shabbos.
Eight year olds definitely go and use it.
And not have a fancy mansion or ostentatious displays of wealth.
How does eating treif on Yom Kippur help you achieve a stronger bond with your creator?
Post-apartheid the country has gone steeply downhill.
Can’t they have specialized minyanim at the dayhab?
Syag, you restated Reb Eliezer’s point in a much wordier way.
Reb Eliezer hit the nail on the head. Bingo.
CA, how much are *you* paid? I’ll bet it isn’t enough to explain most of the cost differential between kosher and treif. 100k is definitely an extreme on the high side.
akuperma: What you wrote is true for men/boys but not for women/girls.
Yes, but you scream the ENTIRE davening out loud.
I know the cost of a mashgiach and hechsher. That doesn’t explain the cost differential between kosher and treif.
You need to go to a Karlin-Stolin minyan. Issue resolved.
The cost of the masgiach/hechsher is NOT the reason for most of the extra cost of kosher versus treif.
Same reason that kosher food costs more than trief food.
Downhill since the ANC took over.
Get a Rebbishe bekishe, instead. They come in all kinds of colors.
They started making stylish kapotas??
The one where they warned against it due to the threat against Yiddishkeit from the Israeli government?
Growing up I used to sit in a high chair with a pacifier after finishing my baby food.
Gadol: New York had a Chief Rabbi.
As far as his authority, even the Chief Rabbi of Great Britain has no formal authority in religious matters. Any Jew can, and very many do, completely disregard him in all religious issues.
The same principle applies in France and South Africa as well as, to a somewhat lesser degree, even in Israel.
5TR: Who were meshadech your children?
huju: You seem to be confusing the Saudis with the JAPs.
It’s called a Shlach.
DaMoshe: I’m not. I’m relying on one of the most eminent MO rabbi with one of the largest congregations in one of the most prominent MO towns.
You may wish to nitpick what he said but regardless of the particulars of any survey or scientific poll, or lack thereof, the fact that he with his intimate knowledge of the community could publicly make the case that 50% of MO post-high school students go OTD, and lament that terrible situation, means the figure or general situation is minimally plausible, and more likely, given he being in a better position than most to comment about the subject, fairly close to reality.
There’s no versus. They’re on the same page.
What other “decisions” has she made?
DaMoshe: Nowhere close to 50% of MO high school students come from irreligious homes. As such, any way you slice or dice it, r’l a high percentage of formerly frum MO high school students go off the derech.
Yeshiva of Flatbush, Torah Temima, Masbia, etc.
Jews always had a Jewish mode of dress.
sammygol is well traveled.
TrueBT: Lakewood is over 1/3 Chasidish.
Stick to a family strictly adhering to all proper practices.
yytz: That rabbi is a leading rabbi of the MO community. He has no reason to exaggerate the failings of his own communities.
Are we going to simply ignore this monumental failures because there’s a lack of published studies with detailed “methodologies” that are well designed? Perhaps the real percentage is 65%, but we’ll relax with our heads buried in the sand until Pew Research, Quinnipac, Gallup or the Marist Institute for Public Opinion conduct a well-heeled study, strictly using rigorous standards, determining the full, real and accurate statistics.
Until such time we’ll tolerate further generations of countless youths to discard Yiddishkeit in favor of college frat parties, with wine, women and song, along with some hazing and a hedonistic lifestyle, r’l?
What’s wrong wish bring around people who don’t have Asperger’s or around people who aren’t younger than you?
Are Roster: The MO world has a far far far higher OTD rate in general. Rabbi Steven Pruzansky, eminent MO rabbi from Teaneck, wrote that about 50% of MO university students (which is close to all MO post-high school kids) go OTD while in college. You hear that? 50%!! Another study indicated that overall MO have a 25% OTD rate.
Reb Eliezer: The Chareidim (Chasidish/Yeshivish) have a tiny OTD rate in the 1% range neighborhood. It is incomparably smaller than the MO rate. As such, the idea that chumras lead to going OTD is preposterous on its face. Had that been the case you’d see a larger OTD rate among Chareidim, who are known to keep chumras, than among MO, who keep kulas.
The title is redundant. Democrats and far left are synonymous.
Reb Eliezer, you botched the joke ah bissel. Actually, for many it was no joke, it is their reality:
I have been born in Austria-Hungary, I have been married in Czechoslovakia, I have given birth in Hungary, I have lived with my family in the Soviet Union, I reside currently in the Ukraine,… And I never have left the city of Munkatch.
You can often better manage to not waste time by starting later than the official schedule.
It’s a Yekkishe value.
Gut Yuntif!
