When you rub the jug and the genie comes out you’re supposed to get three wishes, not just one.
Dr. Dreizich/LevAryehBoy just did another shpiel entitled “Socially Off Fundraising Part 1”.
We see here the difference between Yidden and Goyim. Yidden look back at our Zaidas and earlier and crow how much greater than us they were. Each earlier dor was greater than each later ones. They wrote the Mishna, the Gemorah, Rashi, Tosfos, Rambam, Chasam Sofer, etc. Each later generation didn’t reach the greatness of the earlier ones.
By the goyim it is punkt fakert. They each tell how great they are and how their grandparents and earlier generations were Neanderthals and we are the great ones. We invented computers something they never dreamed of! Their parents said we invented robots something the earlier generations wouldn’t even think of. Earlier they said we invented electricity something our ancestors couldn’t even conceptualize. Before that they had the industrial revolution, showing how great they were. So each one sees themselves greater than their ancestors. We Yidden see our ancestors much greater than ourselves.
The leaders of the army are evil. There’s no reason not to tell people that. The alternative people are evil as well, and people need to be told that.
Winnie, why are things that defy rationality that Chazal relate to us deemed a problem for you? Do you have the same problem when you hear the story of the ten makkos or the splitting of the sea or the creation of a golem or Chazal bringing the dead back to life?
Why should current sufferers wait years until they’re dead until the industry can “do additional studies”?
Yes.
The rogue MO rabbi is an OU member (and previously RCA as well, until he got tired of the RCA – the RCA never got rid of him.)
Mazal Tov takahmamash upon your making the first Chasuna of a child!
CS: When are you wrapping up being posted to that city?
CS: I believe your BST story about him killing the wife and children who were sheidim fits in the first of the two categories of BST stories that you described to Avi.
The Gemara in Eirachin 16b states that that one must continue to rebuke until the listener is about to hit him or curse him. The Gemara in Yevomos 65b states that just like it’s a mitzvah to say something that will be accepted, there is a mitzvah not to say something that won’t be accepted. The Ritva explains that when rebuking an individual, one must continue to do so until the individual hits or curses him, but when addressing a group, one should protest once and then he should not rebuke again if it will not be accepted.
CS: Why’d the husband stay and have children with a sheid?
It’s good to have the CR as a convenient to do/reminder list for self.
You mean a leitz?
CS: The נודע ביהודה psakens that shitfus is assur (as Avoda Zora) for gentiles and the Rambam paskens that Christianity is Avoda Zora.
Why are you sorry he follows the Torah’s edicts?
“Do you know the source of the fact that in the past, teaching women could have confused them”
The Gemorah, Rashi, Rambam, Shulchan Aruch, etc. pasken that teaching girls results in tiflus (immorality) on their parts, since their minds aren’t geared to Limud Torah and they’ll mess up any understanding of it.
You believe anyone can take any random Hebrew word and use it for a baby’s name?
Halachic questions shouldn’t be discussed online, iac?
Because it doesn’t comply with 21st century demands for egalitarianism.
A golem.
We know multiple golems have existed.
But Avi K and his like-minded keep posting that Jews living in the State of Israel are no longer in golus… They’ve arrived.
GHadorah won’t like hearing that. He’ll soon be telling us that we need to scratch out that Halacha for the 21st century. We’ll have to remind him that we live in the 58th century.
Rav Chaim isn’t the only one who holds that a boy shouldn’t be named after a woman and that a girl shouldn’t be named after a man.
The Donald is an Oheiv Yisroel.
“Lucky are the parents who don’t have anyone to name for!”
There are always elter-elter zeidas and bubbes.
Asking them to get an ID once in their life is asking little to excercise the right to vote. The right comes with responsibilities. This is one of them.
Btw, in many states including New York living too far from the polls is not a legally valid reason to obtain an absentee ballot. Only illness or being out of the county/city is valid to vote absentee in NY.
If you walk in and see a monster you’ll be scared out of your wits. If it is the Monster you’ll be terrified even though he has the smell of fresh baked cookies.
Absolutely. You never heard of the Cookie Monster?
It’s sheker.
Can you name a boy after a bubbe or name a girl after a zeida?
LC: I negotiate the lowest salary I can hire the person for that he or she agrees to.
One important Halacha for in-laws to keep in mind is that a wife must obey her husband over her parents but a husband must obey his parents over his wife. This is the Halacha regarding precedance about a person’s chiyuv of Kibud Av V’Eim.
The interesting part was that a 7th month birth was safer than an 8th month birth.
“If a man and a woman have identical work experience , talent, and knowledge, they should be paid the same. Do you agree or disagree?”
Disagree. If I’m looking to hire two equivalent programmers and I interview Barry and offer him the job for $85,000 after negotiating with him; the next day I interview Harry and wish to offer him the second (equivalent) position. Can I not offer him the position for $75,000? It he immediately accepts must I say “surprise, Harry, your salary is $85,000 since that’s what I promised Barry? So if it is Harriett instead of Harry, I must offer her $85k if she accepts $75k?
“By the way, on what basis do you claim men are better negotiators?”
This is documented in studies. Do a little research.
Mazal Tov takahmamash upon the upcoming marriage of his first child!
Some say that human nature has changed over the millennia.
I do not support any professional sports altogether.
Goyim.
There are many Americans who live very far from their polling station. The right to vote comes with responsibilities to excercise that right. Those unwilling to exert the necessary responsibilities forfeits their right.
There’s life outside the CR.
It’s all from love. Family love. Plus some Chasidishe varimkeit helps, of course.
With that you can live in the poorest, most run down and beat up house that has nothing fancy other than second-hand stuff. But you’ll have the warmest home and the most loveliest brood of kinderlach.
