Avram, those legally claiming asylum at an official border crossing are unaffected by the recent policy changes. And are not subject to this new zero tolerance prosecution resulting in parents being separated from children.
Avram: Asylum laws in the US only cover government persecution and not leaving a crime-ridden country or seeking a better economic environment. I don’t think the governments in El Salvador and Honduras are persecuting citizens.
Halacha does not permit a Beis Din to order a Get be involuntary given in the absence of a basis specifically and directly outlined by Chazal and Shulchan Aruch where a Get is mandatory under Halacha.
This same Halacha applies to both the US and Israel.
Frank, you’re incorrect about it being “pretty much established and accepted that the Jewish establishment has” accepted the validity of a Get issued under threat of secular legal penalty.
The Nobel Peace Prize should be called the Yassir Arafat Peace Prize, after that great peacemaker who was awarded this prize.
If Pres. Donald J. Trump, or any other good person for that matter, is offered this junk prize they should publicly reject accepting it.
If the husband must give the Get under New York, Israeli or any other secular law under penalty of finances or imprisonment, and does so for that reason, then the Get is halachicly invalid and is as if it was never given.
frumtd & RY23: I never advocated locking up the children in jail. But if the parent commits a crime, whether the crime is breaking into the border, drunken driving or breaking into a store, he’s jailed without his children. Especially if he’s a flight risk or risk he’ll never show up for trial, as experience shows is the case for the vast majority of illegal aliens who are released into the public conditioned on them voluntarily returning for trial or deportation. They usually never come back to the authorities and disappear into illegal alien underground communities throughout the US. So it is both sensical and correct to hold these illegal aliens until trial and/or deportation.
The fact they brought their children with them on their illegal actions is no one’s fault but their own. No different than parents who commit other crimes and are jailed without their children.
When parents are jailed and their children have no parents, the authorities place their children in a foster home or with relatives. Same as what’s happening to the illegal alien children. No different than anything else.
Why is it any different than an English catalogue?
How is separating a person who broke the law and was arrested for illegally breaking into the border from his children when he’s jailed for his crime any different than separating a person who broke the law and was arrested for illegally breaking into Walmart from his children when he’s jailed? Or any different than separating a person who broke the law and was arrested for drunken driving from his children when he’s jailed.
CTL, how can they redirect you to another facility if they don’t know whether the other facility will, similar to them, decline service?
In any event, I would think that child birth is considered to be an emergency situation.
whitecar: “a couple minutes” and “2 min” are the same amount of time.
My understanding is that Liberty will provide reimbursement regardless of which hospital or provider you use. The only difference is whether the provider will accept payment directly from Liberty or whether you’ll have to get the payment from Liberty and pay the provider yourself.
Since all hospitals in the US cannot refuse service even if the patient does not pay, you presumably can use any hospital without paying upfront and pay once you receive payment from Liberty.
The Coffee Room uses off-the-shelf software called bbPress (which itself is a plug-in to WordPress, which the YWN main site uses.) Therefore changes are generally limited to whatever bbPress plug-ins are available to make specific or certain changes. If the site owner wants to make a change that there’s no ready-made plug-in to accomplish, he needs to hire expensive programmers to custom write it for him. Most sites limit themselves to whatever is freely available already.
It is only locked if you buy it on a payment plan. Once you finish paying off the phone they will unlock it upon request.
Broadband internet providers in most of the U.S. are duopolies, so there isn’t much competition.
It would be a good idea to disable new thread from appearing, even title only, before moderation approval.
Even Borsalino is foldable.
JFK was a bad President overall, despite handling the Cuban Missile Crisis well.
Midwest2, the Torah view isn’t that they can be whatever they want.
In Poland before the war you had the problem of wives who went to the movies Friday evening while her husband was home making Kiddush.
Can someone be a “Yid” if they don’t know Yiddish?
“Where is it considered normal?”
By gentiles and non-Orthodox Jews.
Winnie: “Since it is far easier to be a top girl than a top boy, and there just aren’t enough top guys to go around.”
Winnie, I think you hit the nail on the head with that sentence, particularly the first part of it.
Perhaps that explains why girls hold out longer than boys before “settling”. (I’m just proposing a thought without claiming it is the correct explanation.)
#1 IS a fact.
Takes2: Nobody could have stopped Moshe Binik from opening a Moshe’s or KRM in Lakewood if he wanted. Or if anyone else wanted to open such a store in Lakewood. Nobody could stop anyone.
“CTRebbe is NOT related to CTLawyer (to the best of my knowledge, and I should know)”
How could you possibly know if you don’t even know who CTR is.
Midwest2, bad answer. The grey hats don’t cost less.
Why are you buying Borsalino? Buy the $60 brand of Yeshivish hats.
This idea appears to be highly questionable at it is impossible to do the proper research on the shidduch being redt if the date is occurring virtually immediately after it is redt.
One of the primary reasons boys and girls don’t meet before carefully considering the shidduch, is because we don’t want them to become infatuated to the point it’ll be difficult or impossible to break it off before background information indicating an hashkafic or other incompatibility becomes known. Parents and the boys and girls cannot rely on the shadchan to find or even know of all incompatibilities. Especially on such a short time frame.
Where/what is this news?
The APP isn’t the only Anti-Semitic rag.
Local paper is Anti-Semitic. Eisav Sonei L’Yaakov.
There are Teimanim and Sephardim (in Morocco and some other places) alive today as such.
Reread this thread please. I think the source for what I said was brought the last time this thread was active (by someone else.)
You’re entitled to your opinion but not to dress up your opinion as unassailable Jewish thought and condemn Jewish communities that don’t follow your shitta. Do you also condemn Sephardim for eating kitniyos on Pesach?
DY, TLIK also asserts above that the Cherem is not a change of Halacha, but rather a gezeira binding upon certain Jewish kehilos as I stated, and yet you don’t get all bent of shape from his comment. You didn’t answer several of my pointed questions above, are you ashamed? Are Teimanim and Sephardim misogynists in your eyes? Your approach to this isn’t based on Jewish values but rather based on Western values where you highlight Western thought that artificially intersects with some Jewish thought.
“Dying Al Kiddush Hashem is better than living Al Kiddush Hashem?”
Both are great. But it’s a bigger Kiddush Hashem to die Al Kiddush Hashem. It’s something every Jew should hope for.
Avram, absolutely not. Not only don’t I have a problem with that, but I’d have a very big problem with any Ashkenazi who violates the Cherem.
“Is anyone here interested in living for kiddush Hashem?”
Yes. But dying Al Kiddush Hashem is the biggest form of Kiddush Hashem that we can attain and hope for.
Avram, you want to call it Halacha? NP, I’ll concede the nomenclature. You and I don’t and aren’t disagreeing it is prohibited for Ashkenazim, just as kitniyos is. Perhaps I misapplied the terminology.
DY: Are the Teimanim disastrously insane? The Sephardim in Morocco and other places that you find it by even today, are they also disastrously insane? Or, rather, you’re eyeing your personal distaste of a very legitimate practice upon others.
Today is the yahrzeit of the famous Ger Tzedek, Avrohom ben Avrohom, hy”d.
When Rav Avrohom was taken to be burned al kiddush Hashem for converting to Judaism, he requested from those who came to kill him that they honor his one last request as has been customary throughout the ages before killing someone.
They agreed. He asked to be taken to the Vilna Gaon. They brought him to the Gaon and he asked the Gaon the following question: “We know the rule of ‘Zerizim makdimim l’mitzvos – One should perform mitzvos with alacrity.’ According to that dictum I should be running to fulfill this mitzvah of dying al kiddush Hashem. On the other hand, the quicker I run, the quicker I will hasten my death and one must not hasten one’s death. What should I do? Run quickly or not?”
The Gaon wanted to answer his question but before he had a chance the soldiers hustled Rav Avrohom away. The Gaon rushed to the window and shouted after him, “Reb Avrohom, quicker!” Rav Avrohom began to walk quickly…
