In BMG the Roshei Yeshivos shlita are the bosses of the CEO. In YU the Roshei Yeshivos are not the bosses.
In my experience at New York jury selections, the lawyers for the two sides go to the room with the potential jurors and question them jointly without the presence of any judge. Once the two lawyers agree to a panel of 12 the jury has been selected before any judge saw anything.
Why am I always put last?
gaw, the Roshei Yeshivos of BMG are Mr. Aharon Kotler’s bosses. He does only what they want him to do.
mw13, isn’t anything Mr. Kotler does on behalf of BMG and it’s financial interests have, by definition, the approval and sanction of the roshei hayeshivos?
Avi, that is referring to a forger who is essentially threatening Jewish lives since the government, in those days, might punish the Jewish community for the activities of the forger. Hence he’s a rodef.
The pricy shadchanim frequently charge the big bucks to the girl while they charge little or even nothing for the boy. This is probably a result of there being a notable number of more girls in the shidduch parsha than boys, thus making boys more in demand.
The difference apparently is that the dog has no say who his future owner will be, whereas the couple can evaluate themselves if the shidduch redt to them is appropriate before they marry the other person.
Please check your emails mods, for the nice, normal, emotionally healthy, intelligent, Talmid Chacham who has great middos, social skills and personality that I redt for lilmod.
Ask their spokesmen, what do you want from me. Besides, even if your assumption is correct, one of them didn’t sue but was rather sued.
golfer, I’ll pay you $2,500 just for you to shine my shoes.
Halachicly, if someone is actively a rodef, it is permissible if not obligatory to kill him. Obviously you would need to be certain the person was halachicly a rodef, including knowing what constitutes a rodef. Though it isn’t generally possible to do today since most folks live under non-Jewish authorities who don’t permit this.
What’s a fair price for each side to pay for a successful shidduch?
I don’t see how the yeshiva profits from the development.
The sitting Mayor of NYC served jury duty.
Avi, if one of the parties didn’t agree to a civil court case, having wanted beis din but was required to respond in court to the summons from the plaintiff, he never agreed to anything. He had no choice but to go through a jury trial.
Each yerida is built on top of the last yerida.
CTL/Meno: I can almost assure you that if the potential juror states during questioning that he can determine who is right the moment he first sees the faces of the parties to the case by seeing their expressions (or states he is biased against certain ethnicities), the judge or lawyers will quickly veto his being selected as a juror.
Otherwise they’d be strong grounds for overturning the verdict on appeal.
I could hear a svara that someone could become a juror for the explicit purpose of helping the jury acquit or otherwise have the case against the yid resolved in his favor.
Is it like Bingo?
Yes, yeridos hadoros is very true unfortunately.
lb: A rodef can be killed while still a rodef.
A jury is charged with determining the guilt of the defendant. Using much lower standards of evidence than halacha requires. For many actions halacha doesn’t deem criminal. And resulting in far greater punishment, should the jury vote guilty, than the Torah prescribes even if it is a crime under halacha.
A Jew cannot permit himself to be party to such injustice.
“Yes. On their way to the pool.”
Then clearly it is assur to be there.
iac: If going for parnassa there might be a heter that doesn’t exist when going for pleasure. And even then it depends on the extent of the situation. Is she dressed in swimwear or how a typical goyta dresses in the street?
In either event, even if there’s a heter if it is possible to switch seats that is surely necessary.
Regarding cruises, multiple participants have confirmed that even on the so-called “kosher” cruises one must bear witness to those roaming around in swimwear or close to that.
lb: Are there people publicly roaming in their swimwear at the hotels?
Yes. On their way to the pool.
lilmod, only meshum eiva; m’ikkur hadin it’s assur to be mechallel Shabbos for that.
Doing any aveira is a “choice”.
There is also halachic issues being on a jury where a Jew is tried on a criminal complaint. Especially since halachic standards of evidence aren’t used and especially if the allegation isn’t a crime under halacha.
Avi, it is prohibited for two Jews to utilize civil court (arkaos) to litigate their dispute. This is true even if both parties agreed to use civil court, and all the more so if one party took the other to civil court against his will when he was willing to go to beis din, as halacha requires.
No exemptions but once you’re in court if you state during jury selection that you can’t judge fairly the case, you won’t be selected.
There are halachic issues if one or both parties in the case are Jewish.
Getting out of the case can be done by telling the court you can’t judge the case fairly.
I’m confident the woman didn’t want to be videotaped, didn’t want the video published and only intended her comments for the developer.
There’s no valid reason to assume she wants or asked that this video either be taken or published. Her comments were intended for the developers only.
He eats live shrimp, so he isn’t keeping the 7. And worships avoda zora (yushke). Besides, a goy only gets credited for keeping the 7 if he does so consciously with the specific intent to keep them.
The one with the big beard.
lessc: Parks and zoos do not have swimwear clad women prancing around. Cruises do, as multiple other posters with this unfortunate experience testified.
A person can get medical attention without a physical copy of their insurance card. As far as medication, drug stores keep the insurance info on file from previous use. Additionally, in case of emergency medication will be dispensed first and billing taken care of later.
lessc: One doesn’t have the option to either go or not go; one has the obligation to not go.
So I need to have treif before I can say something is treif? We need a victim before we can say it’s bad? I think not.
On your entire so-called “kosher” cruise did you see (even in the corner of your eye or from a distance) even one of the non-kosher passengers in their swimwear or otherwise not fully dressed while you walked around on deck, below deck, in the hallways or elsewhere?
Being that cruises, even so-called “kosher” ones (what a misnomer!), are like being on a beach, there’s no heter for a Jew to go on a cruise. They’re all treif.
Is shmiras einayim worse on a cruise than on a busy street in a non-Jewish commercial neighborhood?
Meno, which issues a) could you resolve on your own and b) which aren’t resolved even on a kosher cruise?
I believe some of their official beliefs are kefira.
Why are you counting years from yushke?
How much does a patent lawyer charge per minute to speak to him?
I don’t think I’ve posted that in at least 5 or 6 years, if not longer. But the difference between posting that and what he posted is that what I posted is verifiable true. What do you agree with him about?
Rav Aharon Kotler zt’l, in Mishnas Rabi Aharon (Vol. 3, Hesped on the Brisker Rav) states that the essence of Modern Orthodoxy is the same as the Reform and Conservative. That is, change Judaism into something that more people will be willing to accept.
ZD: You post that bubbe maaisa above once a year. It’s still a bubbe maaisa.
Lubavitch, even today, is officially anti-Zionism.
