none2.0; define technolozing
Uncle BenParticipantYes. When Dr. Belkin began the secular studies program. The Gedolim you are referring to learned there when it was only a Yeshiva.

I suppose you are referring to זכר ונקבה ברא אותם. What about טומטום ואנדרוגנוס which are discussed in Shulchan Aruch?Uncle BenParticipantThere is no such word as optionary!!!
English and grammar and punctuation should be absolutely mandatory so I should not have to take a Tylenol after reading some of the comments on YWN!!!Uncle BenParticipantard: You are mistaken. I heard it from Rav Scheinberg himself when he spoke in Boro Park many years ago. He said that classical music is mutar to listen to during sefira as the issur is on dance music.
So dance tunes/beats/music whether acapella, recorded human noises put together to sound like music, electronic keyboards or real instruments should seemingly all be assur during sefira.Uncle BenParticipantStill wondering what the Halachic difference is between electronic keyboard music and recorded vocal noises combined in music form.
Uncle BenParticipantWho uses Drudge anymore? It’s so last decade!
The Bongino Report is all the rage now.February 24, 2025 11:34 pm at 11:34 pm in reply to: Sorry, you must be logged in to comment. #2368944Uncle BenParticipantYes, I’ve been having this issue as well. Not every single time but often. If I typed my comment already, I copy ot before I log out and then paste it once logged in again.
Also even though I check the box for “notify me by email of follow-up replies”, I’m not being notified anymore.November 27, 2024 2:58 pm at 2:58 pm in reply to: Statistics Demonstrating Jewish Community Increasingly Voting Republican #2335306Uncle BenParticipantSquare root; the article is from Tablet
Uncle BenParticipantThat’s a Goyishe hashkafa. A Jewish perspective would be; All bad things must come to an end.

October 31, 2024 2:46 pm at 2:46 pm in reply to: I’m Taking Over The Coffee Room So Yaal’ Better Watch Out! #2328473Uncle BenParticipantAh! Tikun Olam! The single Reform/Secular Humanist “mitzvah” left standing.
Dorah admitting her true colors.Uncle BenParticipantI bought matzos and picked them up directly from the Kerestirer Bakery. I bought both whole and shvorim. The whole were just about entirely whole, with a rare slight chipping. The shvorim were all broken as labeled.

The hospital just made a business decision not to do it in case of a recurrence of a once in a yovel event so as not to be financially liable.
I’m sure Planned Parenthood will step in and offer IVF treatment as their supposed goal is parenthood. 😀Uncle BenParticipant845-493-8604

June 2, 2020 12:32 am at 12:32 am in reply to: Has New York City authorized minyan of any size #1866749Uncle BenParticipantMost shuls seem to be open with only a select few enforcing mask wearing & social distancing.
The truth is the police cannot legally enter a shul without a warrant to investigate as shuls are private property “members only”.
In the current riot climate the last thing they would do would be to close shuls, unless it’s after curfew.Uncle BenParticipantHealth: As a medical professional why would you be familiar with garlic as it is not a drug?
Firstly garlic is not an ” antibiotic”. It is known to have anti bacterial, anti viral and anti fungal properties so it should help for covid-19. As always consult a health professional before using especially if you have other conditions and/or are on medication.Uncle BenParticipantBefore driving, recite; I accept upon myself to remain a human being with all the midos tovos I’ve worked on my whole life and I will not turn into a raging beast for any reason. Especially not for someone doing something that I would happily allow them to do while walking, such as precede me through a doorway etc.
Uncle BenParticipantWhat’s up with the 6 year gap, were all the Kiddush club members in alcohol induced comas?
Uncle BenParticipantI still haven’t seen a mekor from the gemara or the rishonim where they said on the same person that he is moshiach while he was alive that he would be the mochiach once he was dead.
December 3, 2019 10:27 pm at 10:27 pm in reply to: Best New Top Loading Washing Machine (Washer) #1807287Uncle BenParticipantPart 3: When a load is complete users should not only be able to leave the washer’s door closed, they can also activate a new feature called the UltraFresh Vent System that spins the drum at low speeds to draw in and circulate fresh air throughout the machine, sporadically throughout the day, to hopefully dry out any remaining moisture. The final line of defense is that GE Appliances has added Microban’s antimicrobial additives to the washer’s gasket, soap dispenser, drainage tube, and water pump in order to further discourage bacteria growth throughout the machine.
When the UltraFresh Front Load washers go on sale sometime in January of next year they’ll range in price from $899 to $1,199 depending on the size and optional features included.December 3, 2019 10:27 pm at 10:27 pm in reply to: Best New Top Loading Washing Machine (Washer) #1807278Uncle BenParticipantPart 2: GE Appliance’s new UltraFresh Front Load washers take a three-pronged approach to the war on stink. The rubber gasket that creates a tight seal between the spinning drum and the washer’s door now features a wider design with a steeper angle that should ensure water completely drains away after a load, instead of hanging around causing trouble.
December 3, 2019 10:26 pm at 10:26 pm in reply to: Best New Top Loading Washing Machine (Washer) #1807276Uncle BenParticipantSaw this on Gizmodo:
The design of front-loading washing machines can leave a laundry room smelling awful if you’re not vigilant about keeping it clean and dry when not in use. But who has time to regularly wash their washing machine? No one. So GE Appliances redesigned its UltraFresh Front Load washers with some clever upgrades that prevent odor-causing bacteria from thriving.November 21, 2019 11:05 am at 11:05 am in reply to: Is it better to be Chassidish or Litvish? #1802931Uncle BenParticipantYoyBochur; Apparently you don’t have a choice. But you do have a choice whether to spend your spare time whipping up a storm in the YW coffee room.
Uncle BenParticipantBenig; The Shulchan Aruch permits cutting the beard with scissors “ke’ayn ta’ar”.
The question Poskim deal with is if certain shavers go beyond that and are like an actual ta’ar.September 19, 2019 11:50 am at 11:50 am in reply to: Bullying Smokers and vapers in frum velt #1788086Uncle BenParticipantWhile bullying and public shaming are harsh actions, there are other options. Recently I was in a shul restoom and smelled obnoxious cigarette smoke. I was able to see from which stall the smoke was wafting out. I rapped on the door of that stall and said No Smoking in Here! a couple of times. So, I protested the obnoxious behaviour without publicly shaming the perp. My action might be defined as bullying, however we didn’t even see each other so that diminishes the bullying factor.
Uncle BenParticipantMost Chasanim give out candies. If a Kallah wants to give out something she can also give candies.
September 8, 2019 6:17 pm at 6:17 pm in reply to: Best New Top Loading Washing Machine (Washer) #1784949Uncle BenParticipantLightBrite; Yes. See KH’s comment at 9:17 am
September 8, 2019 12:21 pm at 12:21 pm in reply to: Best New Top Loading Washing Machine (Washer) #1784771Uncle BenParticipantAh: Tikun Olam! The only “mitzvah” of the Reform and Secular Humanist Jews. Why am I not surprised to hear it regurgitated by KatanHadorah?
Uncle BenParticipantActually the reason bee honey is mutar is because the honey is just regurgitated by the bees, it really is from flowers etc. Its actually similar to the civet coffee in that regard except the bees use their mouths, I think/hope!
Uncle BenParticipantIt’s weird, the state claims they need plates with dark letters on a light background for the new toll plate readers. Yet the first option featuring the Sfachim Sr. bridge, has a darkish background! Well what can one expect from the Sfachim Jr.?
Uncle BenParticipantCTL; In the case you cite where you hauled the ex-husband back to court and the judge ordered him to give the get, why isn’t that a get meuseh al yedei akum? Just because the judge says it has nothing to do with religion?
Uncle BenParticipantYankelle: That’s funny, I find most of GH’s comments off base. This one though is obviously satire and entertaining. Of course GG could just get a few cats to keep the rats at bay.
Seriously though I haven’t been to Baltimore lately. Is the Smith area where Frum people are moving towards the city or the county side?repaired
Uncle BenParticipantI see references to the “former” Seasons. What is it now?
Uncle BenParticipantYeah Shadybiz, just run of the mill collateral damage. No big deal.

July 23, 2019 11:03 pm at 11:03 pm in reply to: What are any issues with serving a role in Conservative Shule? #1764580Uncle BenParticipantKatanHadorah; Of what relevance are the internal policy divisions of a blatantly kefirah movement to the topic under discussion?
July 23, 2019 5:21 pm at 5:21 pm in reply to: What are any issues with serving a role in Conservative Shule? #1764487Uncle BenParticipantWell well! I can actually agree with Katan Hadorah on a “Hashkafa” matter!
“but they are certainly the kofrim that some here like to claim.”
In additional news, you read it on YWN first. A new denomination has been declared; Bifurcated Judaism!July 23, 2019 9:54 am at 9:54 am in reply to: What are any issues with serving a role in Conservative Shule? #1763492Uncle BenParticipantWow! So the great world renowned Posek Rational differs with the Igros Moshe. So kind of you to share your learned teshuva with us, chock full of maareh mekomos and raiyos.
July 22, 2019 10:40 am at 10:40 am in reply to: What are any issues with serving a role in Conservative Shule? #1762543Uncle BenParticipantLet’s try to remember that Laughing is a self identified שנה ופירש when he/she comments on other threads.
Uncle BenParticipantThe work I’m referring to here is childcare which I don’t believe is considered teaching.
In any case doesn’t the NY/NYC minimum wage law supersede the Federal one?
Additionally if employees have to clock in and work specific hours how can the employer call their wages a salary and exempt them from the minimum wage? This is not a project oriented job of “till the job gets done”.
This is not a hypothetical situation even though some may have trouble believing it.
Again I apologize for using the word slavery, I should have written, “Taking Advantage of Employees”.Uncle BenParticipantWhatsaktome; I don’t know how old you are but I clearly remember from before ג’ תמוז how Lubavichers (& not from BT background but FFB Bnei Torah) would tell me how the Rebbe was bechezkas Moshiach going thru the Rambams criteria & explaining how he fulfilled them.
Also at one point they were crowing how the Rebbe proclaimed הגיע זמן גאולתכם
“בתורת נבואה”!July 15, 2019 2:07 pm at 2:07 pm in reply to: ICE Sweeps…It’s not just Brown and Hispanics being rounded up for deportation #1758348Uncle BenParticipantCTL; Your posts on this thread are incoherent. You claim to support enforcing the law such as a court order to deport a foreigner (in one case an Israeli citizen) who overstayed his tourist visa, yet you extrapolate from that a vile Hitlerite expulsion of all Jews while smearing Trump supporters as KKK types!
Just as all “Democratics” are not AOC supporters, all Republicans are not a basket of deplorables or KKK types.Uncle BenParticipantSo now we have two active Chabad/Moshiach threads!
Uncle BenParticipantYitzchokm; So perhaps you can enlighten me. Are you claiming that a NYC daycare or pre-k provider with over 10 employees can pay them below the NYS minimum wage because it’s a “salary”? Please cite evidence for that claim since I can’t find any on Professor Google.
