Interested? Very much so. Was that an Israeli policeman?
Good points, Winnie. If someone actually knew a topic better than the CEO, would he dare try to overrule the CEO on that topic?
In 1892 the Netziv closed the Volozhin yeshiva rather than agree to the Russian government’s demand on implementing secular studies.
What did people do before Alexander Grahm Bell was around?
Who says you need to always carry a cellphone with you?
So I gather pretty much all frum single Americans migrate to the NY, Lakewood, Monsey Trifecta.
Nope. I sometimes find these things out here in the CR.
I generally do not use the adjective “chareidi” because it is misleading. It originated in Eretz Yisroel as a way to describe those who followed the Eidah HaChareidis as opposed to the Rabanut. But it has evolved, and has come to mean basically anyone who is not Modern Orthodox/Religious Zionist. But then it is simply the generic, default, traditional manner of being frum. And by using a brand name for the generic you are giving the impression that it is not the generic.
Chareidim do not follow any specific teachings of any specific Rebbi, nor do they believe in any specific values not already in the Torah. Chasidim follow the specific teachings of the Baal Shem Tov and his disciples; Telzers follow the teachings and Minhagim of the Telzer Yeshiva; the Mussar movement was started by Rav Yisroel Salanter – but “Chareidi”? There was no beginning to “Chareidism” except on Har Sinai; no particular person whose teachings they follow except Moshe Rabbeinu, and no particular Minhagim they perform.
So there really is no such thing as a “Chareidi.” Those who people refer to as “Chareidim” have mostly never referred to themselves as such – in America you can go to Yeshiva from Kindergarten through Kollel and you will most probably never hear “we are Chareidi,” and you may even never hear the term used at all.
And because words matter – it’s a strange thing but people often tend to form impressions of reality based on words and phrases rather than creating words and phrases that reflect reality – I do not use the term “Chareidi” because by giving generic, default Judaism a label it conceals the fact that this Judaism is in fact the generic and default.
lb, are the young adults expelled from such communities?
Sounds like a Reform rabbi or a rabbi who calls himself Orthodox but wants to reform Orthodoxy and doesn’t like the traditional Orthodox Jews that are often referred to as chareidim.
Only when traveling internationally with undeclared cash in excess of the legal limit.
Sounds apikorsus.
Hot chocolate.
huju, and when did Sephardic men stop wearing turbans? Shouldn’t they go back to turbans, being they’re cheaper than Borsalinos?
Wouldn’t pretty much any frum community, other than a retirement community, have young adults?
Shopping, nu, so what was her response?
Google the Borscht Belt.
As far as Torah Judaism is concerned this is your first wedding and you do all halachic requirements that a first wedding has. The kesuba will be the same one used for a second wedding, though, because that’s applicable for any bride that’s previously been in a relationship with a guy, even if not married to him.
Your question is what do you tell them if they want to do something against the Torah.
Or French Fries. Especially eaten outside of France.
Less than Maran.
You have your first child at 18, she has a child when 18, you’re a grandparent at 36 and your grandchild is a teenager when you’re 49.
lilmod, the other seminary teacher who held you were wrong was more to your right hashkafically?
What changed from previous generations?
*HRH Joseph, Duke of the CR*
One of my comments about the inappropriateness of women congregating on the streets was once quoted in a news article. I think DY’s comment was also quoted. Another poster reported finding that CR citation a few months after the story was published.

Shopping, was it the thread about the Chazon Ish saying that if a woman wore pants in public, and refused to desist, in the times of the Beis HaMikdash the Sanhedrin would stone her?
Are bald women different than bald men in this regard, that you asked specifically about men?
I’m internationally famous! I’m famous!!
Lilmod, another example of the international effects in real life of my commentary.
A bochor isn’t necessarily a boy. A bochor can be a man.
“only if it’s done one way and not the other, but I find that usually people who do one, do the other.”
What does that mean?
And are you suggesting that married women not be referred to as girls? (As married men are not called a bochor.)
The reason I find it highly problematic for males to call adult females as girls, is that the underlying reason it is used is as as a form of endearment.
Seventy year old bochorim are called to the Torah as a bochor.
I also believe the reason it is common, especially in non-frum society, to call adult women as girls is as a form of endearment. Like it’s cute to be called a girl instead of a woman (or even lady). Which is why I find it highly problematic for males to call adult females as girls.
Lilmod, I find it exceedingly rare, especially in frum society, for adult males to be called boys.
People with Asperger’s often have very high IQs.
CTL, can a woman your age call or refer to 30 and 40 year old males as “boys”?
There’s been some previous discussions on this topic you might care to search the CR for.
Lilmod, why do you find being called a woman to be “offensive”?
Do you think some men might similarly be offended to be referred to as a man?
Does a high school diploma change a stupid person into a non-stupid person?
“Single boys are called to the Torah differently than married men?”
Yes.
Single men also generally cannot daven as the shliach tzibbur on the Yomim Noraim.
Mr. & Mrs. John Doe is how one formally addresses a couple.
Bochor would be more appropriate. That’s how they’re called to the Torah.
Hitler, too, against all odds came into power in one of “civilizations” great countries, lasted as long as he did against the odds, military rebuilt Germany so shortly after they were disarmed following their loss of the Great War and committed the heinous quantity of destruction against normative human ability.
Lilmod, how can you “officially” be a NJ resident if you’ve lived overseas for years?
YY, is there any reason a New Yorker couldn’t take the GED in another state?
All I know is when the speaker in shul is trying to speak, it’s necessary to call out towards the Ezras Noshim “women, quiet please!”
Maranan, V’Rabbanan V’Rabosai…
assurnet, the non-chasidic gedolim and the Chasidish gedolim other than Satmar, including Rav Elchonon Wasserman, the Chofetz Chaim, Rav Aharon Kotler, the Brisker Rov, the Munkatcher Rebbe, etc., all held it as assur to create a state regardless of who created it.
The Israeli government has tried to shmad the Jews numerous times.
