Lilmod, regarding an Arab or any goy, there’s certainly no concept or benefit of tinok shenishba. A gentile who does an aveira even completely b’shogeg is completely chayiv no less than b’meizid. Obviously we’re only discussing Yidden in this context.
Best advice: Get married young.
Worst advice: Wait before jumping into marriage.
America Should Trade Taiwan for North Korea
North Korea is a threat to world peace and a nuclear menace to the United States. Bill Clinton allowed North Korea to get away with a nuclear build out. Hopefully Donald Trump will put an end to North Korea’s nuclear capabilities by either, preferably, getting them to surrender their nukes — or, in the absence of that, going to war with North Korea before they develop ICBM’s that can successfully deliver nukes to the US mainland.
While the latter case will unfortunately bear a significant cost in lives, better for that war to take place on the Korean peninsula and that area of the world than to wait long enough that the NK madmen can take American lives on American soil with nuclear weapons.
No.
A fine is indeed not a good idea. An arrest to remove the offender from the public to prevent further offense would be a more appropriate response.
Is the active killer from my previous comment a tzaddik?
ubiquitin: Was the U.S. not a democracy until Jim Crow was repealed in the 1960s? The blacks were not considered to be slaves or property under Jim Crow, but nor were they considered to be equals to whites.
I don’t believe democracy is predicated on equality. Equality is a newer thing. Democracy long predated it,
Midwesterner: It’s in the Shulchan Aruch.
Jim Crow laws weren’t about slaves.
Meno: None of the sources prohibiting murder discuss killing in a high rise tower.
It is a practical hygiene tip.
What is the Halacha in Shulchan Aruch is that it is assur to take a shower after going to the Mikva.
Meno: Those sources are all good. Some more direct than others but all definitely related to the issue.
RY23, are you learning well from the master? ?
Devarim 23:15, Vayikra 19:2 (incl. Rashi), Bereshis 24:65, Tehilim 45:14, Brachos 24a, Shabbos 62b, Rashi on Yishayah 47:2, Shulchan Aruch OC 75, S”A EH 73, Mishna Brura 75:2, Baal HaTanya on Shulchan Aruch 2:1.
Was the United States a democracy before the Civil War? Was the United States a democracy before the Jim Crow laws were dismantled in the 1960s?
Yes to both.
In the Conservative and Reform denominations that may be so. Not in Torah Judaism.
What if every week a person kills two people and literally saves the lives of five people who would’ve been killed otherwise (by someone else). Every week, repeatedly.
Does his saving more than double the number of people he kills mean he’s a tzaddik?
A nursing mother is halachicly strictly prohibited from doing so in public. Especially considering that she can do it in private.
Who said a key factor of democracy is equality? Was America not a democracy when it was founded and had slavery? It very much was a democracy then. And clearly equality is certainly not a “key factor” of democracy.
He didn’t do much of any good. And his legacy is, thankfully, being dismantled piece-by-piece every day, and rather quickly at that, by President Donald J. Trump.
My point in that analogy was regarding someone who specifically delays shidduchim and marriage. Considering the widely acknowledged “age gap” specifically posits that there’s more girls than boys in the shidduch scene and that there aren’t enough boys to marry all the girls, why is the analogy off?
My Eved Knani does it.
No, I must thank you. Now I know where to repose.
Showers should be limited to once a week in times of severe drought.
Right to… in private.
Mammele: The very Chasidish mosdos typically charge a pittance in tuition when compared to Litvish mosdos. (Forget about the arm and leg charged by MO schools.) It would seem unlikely tuition would cause this among Chasidim. That leaves housing. Is housing costs really quantifiably affecting family size in KJ and NS?
While on topic, in your estimation what are the ranges and what are the averages for family size (for families completed bearing children) between the various neighborhood/locations, progressiveness and groups?
GH: Whether it should be done discreetly or not should not be the mother’s choice. It should, by law, be mandatory that it is forbidden to do in public view.
Trial and error.
Where is their natural habitat?
R4: You fail to see a difference in severity between exposing what you suggested and what I suggested?
Refuah Shelamo.
Mazal Tov!!
What’s your basis to assert that he did not say it?
Are you entitled to disagree with Rav Dovid?
According to the meshugana courts, you can publicly nurse while working or while on the train or plane.
GH: In your circles you might be marrying for the money; in Torah families that is not the case.
L’havdil Elef Havdalos!
Of course it is an approximation. It would be virtually impractical to have set it exactly, which would result in fractions of hours/minutes that would need to be calculated each year.
Right, apy, with chinuch and yiras shamayim you should have a TV in your home because “surely” with your chinuch and yiras shamayim you’ll never tune in to the wrong stations. You could even subscribe to the New York Post because surely no one will turn to the wrong pages.
More insulated communities are not nearly as familiar with Hollywood and all the shmutz “marriages”in general society that poisons personal marriages of those that become influenced from society. Hence their greater happiness and lower divorce rate.
What vices did Shindler do?
OURT: Setting up an Israeli Yeshivish Ashkenazic Brisker boy with an American traditional Sephardic Modern BT girl should be done as quickly as setting him up with an Ashkenazic Israeli Yeshivish girl since we should pay no heed to background?
Really? Frum Yidden selling unfiltered data activated smartphones to frum Yidden are like pharmacists?!
People who know their rights are also more likely to get arrested.
Anecdotal stories from who your daughter is friends with does little to change the demographic and statistical reality witnessed by batei dinim.
Syag: How much experience do you have dealing with batei dinim cases of gittin? What I stated is clearly visible to anyone involved with batei dinim.
