batHH: Who are “white Jews”? Sephardim? Ashkenazim?
I married the first person redt as a shidduch.
“Reb Moshe in Igros Moshe O”CH 6:2 says something interesting. A woman according to the Rabbenu Taam can make a brocho on a time dependent mitzva, but not an eved because he does not have a קדושת ישראל. It looks like a woman does but not as great as a man that is why she is exempt from time dependent commandments. Not like the Kol Bo who says that she is exempt because she is responsible to her husband.”
Iaskern: How is women’s קדושת ישראל less than the קדושת ישראל of men?
It is prohibited to utilize secular courts or authorities based upon an assumption the other party will not agree to go to Beis Din. One cannot go to secular court without first obtaining a heter arkaos.
I’ve never found any store bought blintzas that tasted even half as good as home made blintzas.
Which used clothing stores carry kapotas?
takahmamash: Is everything about money? What about good-tasting homemade food??
Sounds like the old Coke vs. Pepsi wars.
Also make your own orange juice.
Why a knock-off when you can get the real McCoy?
Why isn’t Sprite and 7-Up part of the survey?
Random3x, in principle it shouldn’t change. If the current course will kill two people and it is forbidden to change course to only kill one (different) person, then if the current course will kill 100 people it would seem to be forbidden to change course if that’ll kill 1 (different) person instead of the 100.
Curious 1000: Which means the difference between telling right before the engagement and telling a couple dates earlier is not that big a difference in time.
Midwest2: Those who date 10 or more times end up in Beis Din more often than those who get engaged after 5 dates. And those who date for half a year or more have an even higher divorce rate. Even 6-12 months of dating will often not reveal major faults.
No True Scotsman
In the Chareidi world three dates is generally not long before the engagement.
Disclosure how long before the engagement still qualifies as V’ohavto L’reiacho Komocho and how long does not qualify?
Takes2: What’s the issur of disclosing it “right before getting engaged”, given the engagement didn’t yet occur?
Iaskern: I believe MDG is referring to Igros Moshe YD 1:162. It seems that Reb Moshe allows owning an Eved Knani nowadays.
Gefilte fish.
laskern: If MDG accurately cited Rav Moshe, then Rav Moshe permits owning an Eved.
“Rav Moshe’s instructions for adoption mention acquiring a baby as an Eved for a moment.”
So we see that Rav Moshe holds that we can have an Even Knani today in America regardless of the secular law.
“the rules that he becomes a Jew like a woman.”
What’s the logical reason that Halacha puts an Eved in the same halachic obligations as a woman?
ubiq: The Bill of Rights has never been amended or abridged.
How is Sunday different than Monday for a Yid?
You’re confusing yourself for others.
It would be wonderful to have Donald Trump as President for life.
Kova.
That sounds like a wonderful idea!
Come to think of it, I’ll bet if someone tried that approach that eventually he’ll actually come to like the person he didn’t like but always acted friendly to.
Liked acting politely to someone who you feel like cursing out?
The Shulchan Aruch paskens we can have an Eved Knani today in Chutz La’aretz.
Yitzy, do those who take placebos qualify?
Only during a shas hadchak.
Does the YU Women’s Basketball team dress like frum Yidden or like prutzas?
Wait, why does YU have sports teams? That’s what they mean by “Torah U’Madda”? Ah, because the goyishe colleges have sports, so they must also.
Neville, insider pro-tip l’kovod Purim: When you see a variation of a username on the main site, usually used to verbally go against the original variation of that username (directly or sarcastically), the man behind the curtain pulling that string is a high commissioner on the site with all technical super powers.
Ad Dlo Yoda!

Freilichen Purim Klal Yisroel!!!
TLIK: Exactly. I think that’s one of the leading causes of accidents: Nervous wives yelling at their husbands to allow down, causing him to pickup that nervousness, lose control, and weave into another vehicle.
The entire America should adopt the gun laws of New York City.
Gun laws are probably the only thing NYC government got right.
Benignuman: I once did a back-of the-napkin calculation of the timeline from among the Megila, various Midrashim, Chazals, etc. from the time Vashti was a little child when Belshazzar was killed and Achashverush married her until she met her untimely demise.
She must have been pretty young when she was killed. She married Achasheverus as a child and after she was executed Esther was married to Achashverus herslef for quite a while. Can a timeline be made out of the Megilla and Medrashim?
Vashti was in her teens when she was executed.
Phil, I shep nachas everytime you get bent out of shape and post a comment foaming at your mouth.
Gamanit: It is clear that Vashti was put to death on orders of Achashverush that she be executed.
“in der heim they held so”
In the Torah, Gemorah and Shulchan Aruch it says so.
“woman should be part of society”
That was never c”v Sarah Shnirrer’s goal. She created schools for girls, something never done before in Jewish history, due to a shas hadchak of girl going off the derech. At the time you had families where after the husband made kiddush Friday night, the wife r”l went to the movie theatre.
“well today most rabbonim hold that women should go out in the world to work and get educated either with college or hi position jobs”
This is patently false. Rav Moshe, Rav Aharon and so many other Chareidi Gedolim past and present have railed against college.
The Medrash in Esther Rabba 4:9 and 4:12 says that Vashi as beheaded and her head was placed on a platter.
Where was the platter placed?
DaMoshe, Rav Miller’s Yeshiva, where his son is Rosh Yeshiva, also has a website (Simchas Hachaim) and email list dedicated to disseminating Rav Miller’s Torah.
Uri: Like Neville pointed out, the source is Rabbi Miller. Specifically, from his public shiurim attended by many.
Also note that all the quotations were from public shiurim that many people attended and were free to take their own notes quoting anything the Rov said. The only service from this place (and it is a very praiseworthy service) is to transcribe what the Rov said in those public shiurim that anyone was free to attend and write down (and later share with others, if so desired.)
Btw, the TorasAvigdor website is not affiliated with Rav Miller’s Yeshiva, family or with Simchas Hachaim. It is a private effort by regular talmidim of the Rov who want to disseminate his Torah on their own.
From Israel dial 0+area code+local number
1. I agree with everything GAON wrote above. 2. I spoke to them about six months ago, before they had a website (at the time it was email-only), and Amichai from their team said he was okay with posting it here or anywhere since his primary goal was to disseminate Rav Miller’s Torah as widely as possible. I now asked him to clarify if this position has changed and am awaiting his getting back to me.
