What a happy coincidence! 🙂
How far back in time are abandoned financial accounts still held by the state, awaiting for it to be reclaimed?
Do they send contents of unclaimed items in abandoned safe deposit boxes to its original owner or heirs?
TDM, what do the first three letters of your YWN CR username stand for?
The domain name for that website was registered 15 days ago.
MA, actually he’s a bnei chom.
Albert Einstein’s theory hasn’t been overturned.
huju, you don’t need advice; you need to win elections. Point being that it isn’t a matter of being “forceful”. And that it’s a matter of democracy, not being undemocratic as you suggested the Democrats be in 2020.
Not only did Chazal learn their science from the Torah, but Rav Breil, the Rebbi of the Pachad Yiztchok teaches us that we do not even entertain the possibility of a scientific statement in Chazal not coming from the Torah .This we see from Rav Briel’s answer to the Pachad Yiztchok’s question regarding the killing of lice on Shabbos. The Gemora permits it, based on a scientific fact. The Pachad Yiztchok asked his Rebbi that due to the possibility that this scientific fact is incorrect, perhaps we should be machmir and not kill lice on Shabbos, just in case.
Reuven sheifele, the Sefardish chareidim might follow Chacham Ovadia Yosef, the Chasidishe chareidim might follow the Gerrer Rebbe while the Litvish chareidim might follow Rav Shteinman. There’s no conformity.
And, pray tell, which minhagim do they all follow?
In order to control redistricting, you need to win state legislative elections in 2020 and gubernatorial elections in 2018 and 2020.
Eisev Sonah L’Yaakov.
Do a beshow and things will be much simpler. 🙂
ZD: Albert Einstein, which is the most current science on the matter, stated in the theory of relativity that it is correct to state that the sun revolves around the earth, or to state that the earth revolves around the sun, as either description is functionally equivalent.
Which minhagim? Which “chareidim”? The Sephardic chareidim? The Chasidic chareidim? Which “Big Rabbis”?
Imagine that. Rivka Umeinu got married at three!
You haven’t been reading too carefully.
Matan, it implies no such thing. How’d you make that error? Did you similarly mistakenly assume it implies that Telzers can’t be chareidim? Or that Breslovers can’t be chareidim? Why’d you pluck out only Sephardim?
Sephardim, Breslovers, Lubavitch and Telzers are kehilos that each have unique minhagim and/or rabbonim. “Chareidim”, as an ambiguous group, 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.
Another example is how we treat lice on Shabbos. We follow Chazal, not modern scientists.
gavra, they self-segregate *themselves* in identity classification in identifying as MO or RZ. As earlier stated, 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.
CTL, we care that anti-semites like McKinney who are elected on the Democrat line are or were supported by the Democrat party and official party organs including re-election support efforts and party funding, despite their active and expressed anti-semitism during their tenure as an elected Democrat.
To sum it up in a couple of words – His legacy: America Last. His wife’s legacy: Hate America.
All good examples of his legacy. A mediocre President.
CTL, I hardly accepted them, I simply tired of a roundabout discussion. McKinney was consistently a member in good standing of the Democrats’ Congressional Black Caucus and was honored by her party as long as she won elections. And to describe Ellison as NOT a Democrat is disingenuous, I think, when he’s the leading candidate to LEAD the Democratic Party.
CTL, Current elected Democrat officials still bow down in homage to Sharpton.
Health, I thought you wanted to give Israel to the Turks. What changed?
CTL: Racist anti-semites, like Jesse “hymietown” Jackson and Al “diamond merchants” Sharpton, who were Democrat Party candidates for President of the U.s. doesn’t phase you?
Is the continued and long time support of the Democrat Party and scores of Democrat elected officials – both on the national level and on the local level – who coddle to these agitators, inciters and rabble rousing anti-semitic race baiting demagogues something you fail to condemn?
And that’s all before we get to elected Democrat anti-semites like Cynthia McKinney, Keith Ellison, et al.
Israel and Netanyahu support a Palestinian state. Bill Clinton was the President who changed US policy to support a Palestinian state.
CTL, it wasn’t merely a matter of supporting the Israeli government. He saved lives. I’ll take a so-called “Jew hater” who saves tens of thousands of Jewish lives over a so-called non-anti-semite who stabs Jews in the back rather than just dirt talks against every ethnicity behind closed doors.
CTL, you mean the Richard Nixon who saved Israel’s behind in its most desperate hour, when it faced a surprise attack/war, and Pres. Nixon rushed it desperately needed arms?
Yeah, I’ll take that kind of “anti-semitism” over any Democrat, any day.
The Democrat Party has for many decades openly tolerated, encouraged and supported anti-semitism in its ranks. Whether it was Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, Jerimiah Wright and many others.
fny, your last comment is devoid of any accuracy.
Some other charismatic and influential people with chiddushim were Moshe Rabbeinu, Yehoshua, Dovid HaMelech, Ezra HaSofer, Rabban Shimon Ben Yochoi, Rashi, Rambam, Rabbeinu Gershom, the Yaavetz, the Baal Shem Tov, the GRA and the Chofetz Chaim.
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.
“How is everyone defining Chareidi anyway?”
The default, traditional manner of being frum.
By giving generic, default Judaism a label it conceals the fact that this Judaism is in fact the generic and default.
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.
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.
There are Sephardic Chareidim.
I’m always happy to be mistaken for a talmid of Rav Aharon.
Hock, please go into details. I’m unaware of your point.
Copilot takes over.
Rav Shach was very far from being a misnagid. He had very close relationships with numerous Chasidishe gedolim. And he was impressed with and highly complimented certain Chasidishe hanhagos.
DY, what happened to your peyos?! :0
In a famous letter the Chofetz Chaim himself attributed tragedies in his generation to a decline in tznius.
There are two types of chareidim: the yeshivish wrap the peyos behind the ears while the chasidish let the peyos hang in front of the ears.
Avram, the Tosfos Yom Tov told us that Tach V’tat was a punishment for talking in shul, Rav Shach and Rav Avigdor Miller told us the Holocaust was a punishment for the assimilation and Reform in Europe. And both before and since various gedolim have identified various tragedies as a punishment for specific sins.
ubiq, seven people won electoral college votes, by my count. Trump, Clinton, that Indian guy, Powell, Ron Paul, Kasich, and Sanders (in Hawaii).
Wolf is Berditchiver. In everything he sees people do, he only sees good.
ubiq, so far at least three Democrat electors, in several states, who attempted to vote for someone other than Clinton, were immediately replaced with an alternate elector who voted for Clinton. And the original electors vote didn’t count.
And Clinton lost more electors than Trump (who only lost two to faithless electors.)
