JosephParticipant
Gaon, if you’d look hard enough you might find some things to admire about Hitler or Stalin too.
JosephParticipantYseribus, was your father a BT?
JosephParticipantLC, please brush up on your reading comprehension.
JosephParticipantGood riddance. May all his ilk drop dead.
March 14, 2018 7:13 am at 7:13 am in reply to: Should Donald Trump be Crowned King of the United States? #1489012JosephParticipantJFK International Airport ought to be renamed Trump International Airport in honor of the upcoming major national infrastructure spending The Donald will be spearheading to upgrade America’s airports and other infrastructure.
JosephParticipantAdmittedly, my crystal ball hasn’t always been correct about election outcomes.
JosephParticipantMeno, if it’s me I always identify myself to her at the outset.
JosephParticipantI think the Republicans are going to lose the House in the ’18 elections.
JosephParticipantIs this conversation in the Coffee Room the first time you’ve conversed with non-family men?
JosephParticipantl wasn’t aware that a store salesman is a blue collar job.
JosephParticipantKitzur, you see a girl who wants to marry a lawyer instead of a computer programmer in the same light that you see a girl who wants to marry a boki in Gemorah and not a boki (who spends his days learning) in Tanach, Rashi and Halacha?
March 13, 2018 11:44 am at 11:44 am in reply to: When Did People Start Eating Shmura Maztos The Entire Pesach? #1488135JosephParticipantGaon, iac made an excellent point. It is a l’chatchila not a chumra.
JosephParticipantGaon, he’s not Sephardic.
March 13, 2018 9:02 am at 9:02 am in reply to: Should Donald Trump be Crowned King of the United States? #1487881JosephParticipantImagine going from The Donald to King Donald I.
JosephParticipantWolf, you’re wrong. iac said I conflated the story about Rav Yaakov and gebrochs with another story about Rav Yaakov.
March 13, 2018 1:59 am at 1:59 am in reply to: When Did People Start Eating Shmura Maztos The Entire Pesach? #1487860JosephParticipantCTR, why are you looking at 50-60 years ago America instead of 100-200 years ago Europe?
March 12, 2018 11:23 pm at 11:23 pm in reply to: Should Donald Trump be Crowned King of the United States? #1487816JosephParticipantCTL, my hackles are very difficult to be raised.
JosephParticipanttakah, your gebroks and mishing can be forgiven. But not your kitniyos.
JosephParticipantMen mish zich nisht.
March 12, 2018 12:31 pm at 12:31 pm in reply to: When Did People Start Eating Shmura Maztos The Entire Pesach? #1486956JosephParticipantOP: If you want to be lax about it, no one’s stopping you. But don’t try fooling anyone or even yourself that you’re doing what we did in the Alte Heim.
JosephParticipantYaakov Avinu tried to tell us when Moshiach would come. Hashem stopped him from saying.
March 12, 2018 12:30 pm at 12:30 pm in reply to: Should Donald Trump be Crowned King of the United States? #1486952JosephParticipantlaskern: America follows the English legal tradition. This should include a monarch.
JosephParticipantGodolhadorah: Are you sure you aren’t an alter-ego of mine??
March 12, 2018 11:39 am at 11:39 am in reply to: When Did People Start Eating Shmura Maztos The Entire Pesach? #1486917JosephParticipantWhat kind of matzah do you think the Yidden ate in Radun and Brisk for the last six days of Pesach in the times of the Chofetz Chaim and the hundred years before him?
JosephParticipantWouldn’t that takana only apply to the time when they didn’t clean the machines properly?
JosephParticipantYasher Koach
JosephParticipant@Toi I think the maaisa was his second wife didn’t know his original minhag to not eat gebroks so she cooked gebroks for the first Pesach after their marriage. So he was quickly mattir neder while she was in the kitchen so he could eat gebroks rather than embarrass her by letting her know her mistake.
JosephParticipantMeno, I thought you were unemployed when you got married.
JosephParticipantTerrorists should be tortured into giving information that saves American lives.
JosephParticipantRav Yaakov Kaminetzky didn’t eat gebroks.
JosephParticipant“Only if she wants. She is also able to say that she will feed herself in exchange for her salary.”
Correct. I mentioned the legal default which applies to the majority of marriages where the wife doesn’t invoke the exception. Btw, it’s more than just feed herself; it involves her completely supporting herself. Which means she then gives up, even as much as, the right to have her husband be obligated to redeem her should something occur to her.
JosephParticipantTLIK, instead of being a cosmopolitan Jew, try living like a shtetl Yid.
JosephParticipantIs WWIII when Trump bombs North Korea?
JosephParticipantYeridos hadoros, iacisrmma.
JosephParticipantCorrect, Meno.
JosephParticipantThe wife’s salary belongs to the husband.
JosephParticipantOOTY is more evidence of the OP. He’s literally dirt poor with barely a dime to his name, facing eviction and a host of great difficulties to keeping Torah and Yiddishkeit. Yet he heroically refuses to give up his Yiddishkeit and instead is moving his whole life in a single suitcase to a Yiddishe community with nothing much more than the shirt on his back and a hitched car ride.
And how many wealthy or upper middle class folks have we so often heard compromising their Yiddishkeit or resorting to shvache or questionable heteirim in the name of parnassa or business. (Not to mention when on vacation or leisure since they’re out of town.)
JosephParticipantRav Chaim, Skulener Rebbe, Rav Edelstein, Gerrer Rebbe, etc. Klal Yisroel B”H has many worthy candidates.
JosephParticipantPew Research, Eastern European division, 1924.
Seriously, we both know that there aren’t any official data. But we know what we know from the Yidden who lived through the era and related this. It isn’t any big secret either. Throughout the years this stuff has been mentioned in various texts written on this subject, of which I surely don’t have the bibliography of.
JosephParticipantThe Jews who r”l joined Bundism, Socialism, Communism or assimilated were not from the poorest Yidden. The poorer Yidden were far more likely to remain frum than join those deviant movements. Those movements attracted their adherents from those who were relatively better off financially than the average Yid in Eastern Europe.
In Germany also it was those who, relative to their brethren, were financially better off that joined the deviant movements and left Torah Judaism.
JosephParticipantZD, that’s hogwash. Jews have mostly gone OTD due to affluence not poverty. The Jews in Spain who converted to Christianity rather than flee during the expulsion were mostly the afluent ones who didn’t want to lose their fortune that they were forbidden to take with them out of Spain and Portugal. Similarly when the Reform got started it was mostly constituted of the wealthier and financially better off Jews who left frumkeit and Orthodoxy to join the fledging Reform movement.

JosephParticipantCheck the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.
JosephParticipantRandom3x, if Rav Moshe said that Kohanim have more kedusha than Yisroelim would that raise the same question mark in your mind as Rav Moshe saying that men have more kedusha than women?
March 7, 2018 9:58 pm at 9:58 pm in reply to: Did Your Children’s Yeshiva or School cancel school today? – It’s Ridiculous! #1484549JosephParticipantI don’t know of any schools that cancelled Yeshiva.
March 7, 2018 12:20 pm at 12:20 pm in reply to: Adjoining property is doing extension- beam is on my property (residential) #1483461JosephParticipantThe concept of mesira is baked into the Torah and Halacha. It long predated Czarist Russia.
JosephParticipantWolfeschlegelsteinhausenbergerdorff.
March 7, 2018 9:47 am at 9:47 am in reply to: Adjoining property is doing extension- beam is on my property (residential) #1483268JosephParticipantIt most certainly is mesira to get a government stop order.
JosephParticipant“That said, there are groups whose shchita I do not eat and whose wine I do not drink.”
Which groups are those?
JosephParticipantIaskern: So per the teshuva the pecking order of a קדושת ישראל, from greatest down, would be 1) Kohanim, 2) Leviim, 3) male Yisroelim 4) women?
