None of the major “frum” dailies, weeklies or monthlies that I know of have any Rov vetting what they print to insure everything going to print is kosher. Most of what they write should be assumed to be Daas Balebatim and has no presumption of being correct.
mentsch1, the Choson and Kallah took pictures together prior to the Chupa?
ZD, because anti-Zionism is the correct Torah hashkafa according to the Torah world, both Litvish and Chasidish. Messianism is not.
@mentsch1, how long before the Chasuna did you take the pictures? No family pictures at the Chasuna were taken?
What about people who develop a disorder after the wedding?
What about parents who cannot afford the best mental health doctors?
CTL,”best man”? What’s a best man doing at a Jewish wedding?
Takes, if you’re a goy, that’s probably what you’d do.
According to the shittas that hold that you should take no action and allow three people to be killed rather than taking action that will instead kill a different two people, would they still hold like that if no action resulted in 100 people being killed while taking action to change the path will kill one person (who is not part of the hundred people)?
Just to put this conversation into perspective, the following were the previous comment that led to this new thread. Note that Toi said his question is the same as mine, but CS said it is a different question. So that sameness/difference can also be addressed. CS can respond to my question separately if she feels it’s a different question than Toi’s.

…when I was just married and my husband decided to go to kollel cuz that’s what the Rebbe said… So we wrote into the Rebbe and got a letter that said that my husband should learn in a place with a …
[Note that CS has stated she was born after the Rebbe was niftar. Also at Chabad chasunas today they often read a letter that is announced to be that the Rebbe wrote to the newlyweds. The question here being how is a Rebbe that is in Gan Eden giving detailed instructions to the living on what to do.]
I responded:
What’s this business about you speaking to the Rebbe, writing to the Rebbe, and the Rebbe giving you answers and advice? Do you go to his Ohel for these speaking/writing and find a note from him written upstairs in Shamayim and sent downstairs to you in your mailbox?
Toi wrote:
I think we’ll all welcome the explanation of how it’s muttar to daven to a mimutzah, unless the Rebbe is Atzmuso Yisborach, like it says in his sicha, in which case we’ve got a much bigger problem.
ChabadShlucha responded:
Anyhow back to toi, you have a different question than Joseph : his is how today’s lubavitchers maintain hiskashrus, yours is about the role of tzaddikim in general… Not to mention that in your post you are clueless, as the way you understand the Rebbe’s words is completely skewed. Similar maybe, to a goy who sees Jews call themselves the chosen nation, and therefore concludes we must want to treat all goyim like the Nazis did. Completely off…

Joseph’s question and mine are the same for the purpose of this discussion… let us please not confuse chassidus , specifically that of Chabad, with Kabbalah. They are not the same…
funnybone, many doctors like to force patients to come to the office unnecessarily when they could have easily answered the question quickly by phone, without a visit, or just have related basic information because by coming to the office they can bill the insurance and copay.
Maybe the Chasuna was based on Chasidishe Daylight Savings Time.
Some doctors keep people waiting for no other than to seem busier than they are.
Gaon, the son did NOT deny it, he said that he didn’t hear it himself. It is a famous quote from Rav Shach, as the fact that the son was even asked about it demonstrates.
Rav Shach said had he sung Shabbos zemiros with a bren like his neighbor that he could hear, then his son would’ve been a Ben Torah.
Phil, I’d rather leave you in suspense.
“How traditional is traditional learning anyway?”
Are you asking about boys or about girls?
Where is this happening?
LevAryehBoy, the main character in the videos, was a participant in this thread when it originally started.
Lightbrite, the Chasidim, who are our poor English speakers, have one of the best oiled (if not the best) political machine that is most respected and highly effective. Others envy them for this.
Yes, some will be able to react properly and thinkingly under the pressure and time constraints.
Rav Shach’s son and grandson were and are always frum. (He became Daati, not anything else.)
The esrogim are out of season yet are selling for $1 each in January.
ZD: You’re incorrect. Yeshivos and Chadorim are not licensed or approved by the State. They are religious schools or seminaries acting independently from the State and they need no license from the State, as that would be a violation of the separation of Church and State.
The secular studies program of Yeshivos may be state licensed or approved. And they may be subject to state educational regulations. But NOT the morning Limudei Kodesh program or Rebbes. The State has no control, say-so, regulatory control or licensing requirements for the rebbeim and limudei kodesh. Nor can the State educational department inspect or visit the limudei kodesh program. State Educational regulations do not apply to the religious program of the school.
As an aside, even approved/licensed private schools that are subject to the State educational regulations, if they violate those regulations it is a civil regulatory violation that only can result in financial penalties to the school. It is not a criminal matter since those regulations aren’t codified state statues but rather only executive issued regulations.
BD: Rebbetzin Winnie lives in Eretz Yisroel.
YY: No, it’s not okay for anyone. If we stop everyone from doing it, it will have been well worth giving up our own ability to do so.
Syag, not only did I beat you to welcoming him back, I even beat Shticky himself posting! (At least it proves that my Ruach Hakodesh is still working…)
Please speak to an Adom Godol.
Are you asking for the halachic answer or for the goyishe answer?
YY: Pork barrel politics is hardly unique to Jewish voters and politicians.
The Goq: It was intentionally said as a double negative.
WB Shticky Guy!
Shticky Guy, how can anyone forget you?
Refuah Shelamo.
I saw esrogim selling for $1 each last week.
19 States allow corporal punishment in public and private schools. NY public school regulations prohibit it but private schools are permitted.
Corporal punishment is legal in NY private schools.
Dovid HaMelech in Tehilim and the Mechaber in Shulchan Aruch pasken that corporal punishment must be an option.

Venohapoch Hu.
“By the way, what does “Ken ou lo” mean?”
Autocorrect for “Yes or No?”
You think eating in your living room is “eating in public” if you have many guests over for the Shabbos seuda?
Ehrlich does not mean doing everything or anything that’s not technically assur.
Most of today’s so-called “frum” weekly magazines are anything but.
