    Does the school year begin with Lakewood children who have no school to go to and remain home?

    The ghetto saved untold multitudes of Yidden. It was after leaving the ghetto that so much assimilation starting occurring in Europe.

    Yes, Ladino is holy just as Yiddish is.

    It is a huge shame that only in recent decades it has effectively been given up after having served as a holy Jewish language for so many centuries, as you indicated.

    Loshon Kodesh has by design NOT been utilized as an everyday chol language by Klal Yisroel for thousands of years.

    in reply to: Should Criminals Be Sold As Slaves? #1561330
    Joseph

    RY23: The Torah prescribes selling a thief as a slave. So Hashem believes there’s a market for them.

    “As far as selling them as chattel slaves, to whom could they be sold?”

    I’d bet interested in buying one. Other are too, I’m sure.

    “Once sold, they would no longer incarcerated and subject to the 13th. so no private or corporate entity could legally own them. Any such sale would be void ab initio .”

    Incorrect. The 13th Amendment specifically permits convicted criminals to either be enslaved or committed to involuntary servitude. Constitutionally the law can be set that the punishment for a crime is enslavement. There’s no requirement under the 13th that the criminal be incarcerated while enslaved.

    “Sometimes frum Jews are convicted of commiting a crimes, You know this would apply to them too”

    Do you favor abolishing the death penalty, life imprisonment and other long term imprisonment? Those can r’l affect Yidden too.

    Thousand years and chosen language.

    “Default” would’ve been the local non-Jewish language of the host country. The Yidden chose otherwise. That choice was Yiddish.

    There’s no contradiction whatsoever. For the last thousand years Yiddish has been the overwhelming chosen language over any other for both the simple yidden and for the gedolim. And for both Torah learning as well as for everyday talking.

    MDG, take a majority of gedolim from the last 50 years, 100 years or 200 years — your choice — and any pick you choose an absolute majority of gedolim spoke Yiddish and learn Torah in Yiddish.

    Ask yourself: what percentage of today’s gedolim are literate in Yiddish. How many of today’s greatest talmidei chachomim know Yiddish.

    Taster’s Choice is great, Daas Yochid, but for someone coming from being a Starbucks feinshmecker who just got kicked in the teeth from his nasty Starbucks habit when they suddenly stopped being kosher, I’d recommend Gevalia as a step-down without yet jumping to instant coffee, even if it is very good.

    The reason Chasidim are spreading out to frum communities far and wide that they’ve never been in before and becoming a huge portion of the frum population all over the place, is because they have a much higher birth rate and have become over the last 25 or so years close to, if not above, a majority of the American Orthodox population. Meaning them alone, without even counting other Chareidim like the yeshivishe communities.
