I’m gonna be making a series of posts between 990 and 1010 characters long each, to keep the mods busy counting.
Hey, that was my wedding gift to you, Meno!
All Satmar Beis Rochels worldwide, per the Satmar Rebbe’s psak.
She could tell me so I could confirm.
Satmar girls in Beis Rochel learn Chumash inside but not Rashi.
My great uncle doesn’t eat any food his wife didn’t prepare at home. Year-round. Even his siblings.
It happens that someone’s maternal grandmother was well known to be Jewish, her daughter R”L unfortunately went off the derech or shmadded and never told her children she’s Jewish. And those children grew up unaware of being Jewish.
They made paper ships.
LB: Someone whose father is Jewish and mother is a gentile, is as Jewish as… Pope Francis.
The answer to your question is the same as when dealing with a “black Hebrew”, Mormon or Samaritan who thinks he’s Jewish.
We’re speaking of cases where it can be established with confidence that the person, who is unaware they’re Jewish, is in fact Jewish.
This is a far different case than a potential convert.
How well did the delivery go?
Why would you imagine that the halacha is ever not to tell someone they’re Jewish, if they’re Jewish and don’t know it?
The Democrats. And the media. They are waiting to latch unto something to try to impeach him. Desperately. They will certainly find some pretext to demand impeachment. Until then they will continue vilifying him every day if not every hour. He can do no right by them.
The President is very far from being a tzadik. But his alternatives are worse.
huju: His popularity among the frum is a direct result of the alternative having been Clinton. If the alternative would have been, say, Rubio or Cruz, he wouldn’t be nearly as popular. (And wasn’t during the primaries.)
His “popularity” now as president is also a result of his enemies being worse than he is.
A goy who violates any of the sheva mitzvos, even unintentionally or unknowingly, is deemed guilty and liable for the relevant penalty.
What reprint and what was off-putting about a Rav Chaim Vital or a Tanya? What I quoted from them is taught in Yeshivas to 9 year olds starting in 3rd grade.
And where online is that discussed? I haven’t seen it in other discussion boards.
Mod, what was the prubleim with the umos haolam thread?
How do vanity plates help and what is the 100 club? Have you or family had occasion to utilize them where it avoided a ticket?
Exactly correct. It is the anti-semites angrily attacking Ikea. These anti-semites happen to mostly be of Jewish lineage. Some might even sport a kippa. They think it’s okay to hate Jews who practice Judaism too much, as that’s against their wishes for a 21st century world. They feel as long as their hatred is “only” against certain Jews, it is okay.
Why does this make you prefer a CT license over a NY license? With a NY license you don’t have to worry about getting points almost anywhere outside NY. (As long as you pay the out of state fine, the points won’t stick.)
CTL, Most states do share points between states, as they are part of an interstate compact. NY happens to be one of the only states that doesn’t share or give/accept points to/from almost any other state, as NY is not party to the compact.
I do.
Lilmod, Tipper with his Afro, torn jeans and no socks might be a tzaddik?
LB, sorry for the last less than serious posts. I actually was the first to respond to your OP. And it was a long, serious and beautiful reply that directly addressed exactly what your OP was asking for. But the M-d (as LF would put it), in her infinite wisdom, nixed it since writeup of the post originated off-site.
How respectful of men is he?
Twenty-nine is a meanie.
A mechallel Shabbos and treif eater certainly does put you (and everyone else) in danger.
Some poskim (especially Hungarian) hold girls cannot even be taught Rashi in school since that is Torah shebal peh.
Trump’s Jewish-friendly credentials go back many decades, long before he ever ran for office or had a vested interest in proving himself to the public. They are far more extensive than any recent president.
As far as the OP, he used that merely as a figure of speech.
Roger that. I’ll have tech come out to fix that.
There’s been several previous discussions on this topic and I’ve said substantially the same points.
So go into the specifics. It can’t be that hard to explain.
The only workaround proffered (by someone else on this forum) is for the judge to recuse himself from such an all-Jewish case. The problem with that suggestion is that judicial rules don’t permit a recusal for that reason and the judge would have to justify a recusal where the litigants didn’t request it (with a purportedly valid cause), and would be unable to in such a case. And in a jurisdiction such as New York, with a very large Jewish population, unfortunately getting such cases will invariably occur.
If you have any alternative workarounds, I’m all ears in hearing it out.
They should teach girls yeshivishe raid in beis yaakovs.
DY never provided a halachic rational how a Jew presiding as judge in a non-Jewish court is not oiver the severe issur of arkaos, when (s)he’s using non-Jewish laws at odd with Jewish law to judge a case where a Jewish plaintiff sued a Jewish defendant in non-Jewish court kneged halacha and refused the defendants pleas to take the dispute to beis din instead.
He tips the bartender well. And often.
So a good Yid can go around with an Afro, t-shirt, torn jeans and no socks while speaking Ebonics to his friends who call him Tipper?
Avi, an American judge cannot rule in accordance with halacha if secular law on a matter differs from the halacha.
If your proof that the Yidden in Mitzrayim engaged in secular culture is by their having descended to 49th level of Tumah, then you should agree that secular culture is to be avoided as you associated it with decent into tumah.
Eli51, let me guess; you want weddings to have mixed seating too, right? You know how much against that the gedolei rabbonim are even though it might technically be halachicly permissible; how much more so in a private car with just one male and one female where it might not be halachicly permissible.
Jews, male or female, should not be taking a position as a judge on a non-Jewish court that will have cases involving two Jewish parties litigating against each other. It is forbidden for Jews to litigate a case against each other in non-Jewish courts. And it is forbidden for a Jew to judge a case between two Jews who are non-halachicly using non-Jewish law instead of halacha (especially if one of the litigants doesn’t want to be in non-Jewish court or using non-Jewish law, but it only there because the non-Jewish law and authorities force him to attend and respond to the case.)
Secondly, women shouldn’t be taking public positions.
Sadly, whenever this is pointed out (about becoming a judge on a non-Jewish court being halachicly wrong), despite explaining the extremely severe issur arkaos involved, the retort of supporters of Jews becoming judges on non-Jewish courts invariably is that “he asked a shaila”. (Unfailingly to a rabbi who must remain anonymous too.) They virtually never can offer a halachic rational explaining how they can overcome the serious prohibition against arkaos and, specifically, judging cases between Jews who are in non-Jewish court Keneged Halacha (at least one of the parties to the case, with the other Jewish party simply being dragged into non-Jewish court against his will.)
Well, at least they can say “he’s wrong” and leave it at that.
My earlier comment about the Netziv shutting down the Volozhin yeshiva rather than acquiescing to the governmental demands on secular studies is entirely accurate according to any version of the story. Read my words carefully. (Additionally, R. Baruch Epstein, who wrote the original book that Artscroll translated, was a bookeeper and a director of a tzedaka fund in NY; he wasn’t a godol or even a pulpit rabbi. His works are interesting and perhaps have some historic value, but they are not Toras Moshe. They do have errors and what is being cited from here from his book may well be one of them.)
In any event, learning secular history, arts, social studies, geography, etc., is not something yeshivas taught or that Jewish children learnt before, during or for a thousands years after the churban Beis HaMikdash.
Eli51, if you think this is how shidduchim can be made, I take it you are suggesting the male and female strangers in the car together should be having a nice long chat as well, eh?
yungermanS, 25% of your hitches were women drivers? In what neck of the woods do women drivers pick up men seeking a hitch?
