Pulling out of the Iran deal seems to be a good thing. The Iranians are scared stiff. They’re still bound to their part of the agreement even though the US is now sanctioning trade with. The Iranian economy is tanking again and their citizens are again rioting.
If the North Korea deal works that’s another good thing.
The Paris climate deal was good thing to pull out of that farce agreement.
And the tax cuts were good.
The song is from the sitra achra.
TLIK, Shopping: If the abuser was a victim, should that be a mitigating factor if his abusing others was a cause-effect of his having been abused?
8. Freed Reb Sholom Rubashkin, something both his predecessors refused to do.
There’s not a single goy in the world who’s perfect and neither is Trump. But Donald Trump has proven himself to be an Oheiv Yisroel and a supporter of policies that we very good for Klal Yisroel. He’s proven this long before he ran for President and he’s proven it again after assuming the office of the presidency.
If you’re not driving a Rolls Royce you’re a nebech case anyways.
ghd, did the lab results from your swab indicate Philistine or Celtic origin on your part?
ZD, many are unknown and civilization has never yet made contact with them. You can also find them in the rivers near India and in Africa.
ZD, there are unknown tribes living in the jungles of the Amazon, in South America, among other places.
No.
They must be on the other side of the Sambatyon, ChabadShlucha.
It’s true that Aish isn’t as far left as the RCA, but they’re ideologically closer to the RCA than to the Agudah.
dullreliance: Yes.
There are all kinds of pseudo-Jews and claimed-Jews all over the world.
Even in Manhattan you’ll find the Black Hebrews.
Elaborate.
IITFT: Excellently stated post.
ZD: Actually we do. Unless you happen to believe they we can’t rank that Rav Moshe zt’l was a bigger godol than Rabbi Lord Baron Immanuel Jakobovits zt’l, for example.
Aish is a very liberal place. Nothing like this guy but Aish has very liberal religious attitudes.
We’ll be lucky if we’re close enough that we can see the shpitz of the crown of Moshiach.
Avi: That is factually incorrect about Rav Moshe.
tm: The Eidah has multiple Gedolim bigger than Rav Ovadia.
zd: Even Rav Ovadia ruled any Ethiopian needs to convert, otherwise they cannot be considered Jewish.
I too heard the story long ago about the Chofetz Chaim tearing a stamp for every letter he sent with someone rather than the post office.
According to the Eidah they’re not Jewish. The Eidah follows the psakim of the Eidah not of Chacham Ovadia zt’l. The Eidah is on solid ground.
Rav Aharon Kotler was certainly no misnagid.
Au contraire.
So far not a single person has given a coherent or cogent reason why the general public, who the vast vast majority never has and never will have a problem of sibling abuse, should take greater precautions against the rarity of sibling abuse than against parental abuse, which occurs at a far far greater frequency than sibling abuse.
If you’re going to recommend not leaving siblings together with siblings unsupervised in their room you surely should recommend not allowing parents in their children’s room without a third party present.
If they’re not Jewish then it is not a chilul Hashem.
To even dignify those low-life toeivaniks as “LGBT” is disgusting.
1, none of my kids or grandkids have ever encountered this issue. But that isn’t relevant to this discussion.
But even you admit parental abuse is more pervasive than sibling abuse. What are you doing to keep parents away from children unsupervised? Since parental abuse is both worse and more frequent than sibling abuse, something virtually everyone agrees about, it’s more important to keep parents away from their children unsupervised than keeping siblings away from each other unsupervised.
Takes2: On what basis do you assume a mother is less abusive than a father? There is certainly more abusive mothers than abusive siblings. All families must take actions to protect children from abusive mothers AND from abusive fathers way before worrying about the much less likely issue of sibling abuse than parental abuse.
I think we need to separate parents and children, or at the very minimum install a third-party observer in homes with minor children, since statistically parental abuse FAR FAR exceeds that of sibling abuse. Parents certainly should not be alone in a child’s room with only the child (or children.)
IITFT: Can you please explain your last comment in a bit more detail?
And I’m proven correct for the umpteenth time. When in the hot seat she couldn’t give a single name. Next will come the excuses and the attacks.
Syag, that’s total baloney. I challenge you to name any rabbonim who said that. I make this challenge since I know you’ll find an excuse not to since it isn’t so. If they had said this to the KLAL clearly what they said and who said it would be well known and you’d have been able to name them. But it ain’t so and we both know that.
Are you suggesting men shouldn’t be patriarchs and take charge, MDG?
The updates also destroyed thousands of old threads.
I’ve seen police issue tickets for that over there. It was a number of years ago but I don’t see any reason they’d stop doing so, especially considering how much revenue tickets raise for the government.
YWN used to not have Google ads but has them now for over a year.
They’re wrong. The general public does not need to worry about sibling abuse when there’s no specific reason to worry. It is extremely rare. And to make a general warning is absurd. Amudim has many opinions that are wrong and aren’t the experts they pretend to be.

Rav Avigdor Miller on Kivrei Tzadikim
Q: What is the function of going to a kever of a Tzadik?
A: And the function is what we spoke about today. And that is, in order to advertise to the world that the greatest thing in the world is to be a tzadik. And in the zechus of you going there and demonstrating that you appreciate the greatness of a tzadik, Hashem will reward you and listen to your tefilla. But you’re not praying to the tzadik, chas v’shalom.
Hakodosh Boruch Hu says, ‘If you understand how much I love this man, and not only him, but I even love his body because his body was kadosh. And now you come there, where his body was placed, for that purpose of showing that you appreciate the greatness, the holiness, of his body, then I’m going to reward you by listening to your tefilla. Thats the purpose of kivrei tzaddikim.
TAPE # E-8 (May 1995)
CS: A lot of what you’re writing above is your own deios rather than anything the Seforim HaKedsoshim say.
ChabadShlucha: You accept that the changes you are quoting must wait till Moshiach comes but until then the status quo described in the Seforim HaKedsoshim between men and women remains?
LC, likely because the setting to disable affects both without the option to differentiate.
If the illegal aliens and their children are immediately deported together to their country of citizenship, they won’t be separated.
AJ: That simply points to the different purposes, goals, obligations and tafkid in life of each gender. It has no bearing on each one’s esteem. There’s no “equality” in Judaism. Nor does equality translate into esteem. Are Cohanim equal to Yisroelim? Rabbonim to laymen? Does that mean Yisroelim or laymen are unesteemed? Of course not. Same as with the natural and legal differences between men and women.
Bump
Buy what you can afford and do not lease what you cannot afford to buy.
Be smarter and buy used.
IITFT: Are you saying it’s about time for men to take charge again?
Jewish women were treated throughout Jewish history in the highest esteem and regard. Unlike how the gentile world treated women as chattel.
Midwest2, they said that about Rome too.
