Alot of High School Graduates go onto College and earn Degrees.
Many of the higher paying non-sales jobs will not let you in the door without the degree
Post-2008, going to Cardozo law school is pretty much the same as taking out a mortgage on a house and then burning it. Except that the student debt is not dischargeable in bankruptcy.
That is why I dont recommend anyone going to YU or Stern, nothing to do with Hasghfa, Sorely to do with cost
Yeshiva university is a good degree (I did not go there, too expensive)
Cardozo Law school is good too.
FYI you dont need a college degree to get into Law School, Its the only professional school you dont.
A GED is not exactly the same as a regular High School Diploma. Its close but a bit less
And a GED is only a High School Diploma equivilancy, certainly not the same as a College Degree. No matter what anyone says there is no quick way to get a college degree, they make you earn it
If you look at the documents at the time not only was secular studies taught, there were serious financial issues at Volozhin and there was a serious issue of succession.
The yeshiva reopened a few years later
Unless they have US or EU citizenship they arent going anywhere
The Volozhin closing is a myth. They Taught secular subjects there before the closing, the documents prove that.

Its actually fairly simple to learn Spanish, Its alot easier than Hebrew.
The hardest part is remembering the Male and Female tenses of words which english does not have (But Hebrew does) Once you get that is just a matter of memorizing the words, and Spanish unlike Hebrew the words have a direct translation into english. Hebrew has far fewer words so you have to figure out what the word really means by how the person used it.
A simple example the words Kador in Hebrew can mean a Ball, Pills or Drugs, but you have to figure that out
MR
Did you go to a more modern school or more Charedi?
The more modern schools do teach Spanish, Spanish is probably the most useful of all especially in the NYC area. Its not as unpleaant as Spanish teachers in High school teach it.
And BTW there is an opinion that things the knowledge the Greeks and Romans are best known like Math, Science, Philosophy etc were actually jewish disiciplns and they stole it from us and called it their own.
Depends on the school
For the record, Most education today does NOT teach Latin and Greek classics, other than the one time I read Antigone, Ive never read a Greek or Latin Classic. And that includes University (I did read English Classics like Shakespeare and Dickens and Yiddish Classics like Sholem Alechem and I.B. Singer)
The Gemrah is Sukkoth (I think) discusses the value of PI, In Gitten the Gemorah discusses Nero.
If the Gemorah can discuss Math and History, It is not “uneeded”
There are 7-11’s on the Nassau-Queens Border
ZD-LOL-and what hechsher does the gator use? Human-K?
The Rav Hamaghshir is Rav Eli Gator
Sunday?
What Yeshiva has English on Sunday?
None that I know of.
Just because you dont know of it, doesnt mean it doesnt exist.
Perhaps you need to get out more
I have a friend who was in the US Army and was not religous at the time
He was in Southern France and the local Chabad Rabbi went on the base and asked the Officer if there were any jews on the base.
My Friend figured it was a great way to get better food than the army and went for Shabbos at the Chabad Rabbi. That small step made him more appreciate of the religous and became frum himself and married a frum woman and they have all their kids in Yeshiva
But if you must, the chareidim would love to send lev l’achim to visit and be mekarev all the wounded soldiers.
Chabad does things Like sending and delivering Latkes to soliders in dangerous areas. Even Chilonim remember things like that and appreciate it.
There are plenty of things that are Mitzvot that could be done and are not Bittul Torah if they are done and the soldiers (and Maybe the general populance) would appreciate them.
If you want to Makarov people, the first step is getting them to know and like you.
There is no compromise with the Torah Hakedosha.
What Averiah is it to visit a wounded solider in the Hospital. last I checked Bikor Cholim was a Mitzvah
ZAKA is certainly a starting point for a compromise
Helping in Hospitals with wounded soldiers is another possiblity
there are plenty of places to compromise,
Eretz Yisroel belongs to all of us
Exactly and when you live with everybody you have to accept the laws of the land, whatever they are. If you dont like the laws you can either have them changed , live somewhere else or try to live with those laws.
I suspect they will try to live within those laws and make a deal. There are plenty of things they could do that would be acceptable, How about running the Kosher Kitchen and feeding the troops
I wont name the name of the School, but I could.
Its a very well known and top Litvish Yeshiva
If you dont like the rules of a certain country, You are always free to leave.
It was a dorm Yeshiva
I can tell you the Litvish arent much better. I asked a family member about his secular studies and he told me They had “Optional” Physics every other Sunday
I heard the Gator-K is good
He deals with Shabbos issues ‘al pi halacha’
Something tells me that you are trying to point out that he does not have a problem with stores that are open on Shabboss..
An Ice Cream Store like Baskin Robbins owned by Asians is allowed to be open on Shabbos, It does not need a Mashgiach Timidi.
These are stores owned by GOYIM, not owned by jews.
The Chilul hashem was caused by Webberman and nobody else.
The Satmar community must realize it was not an indictment on Satmar, but of a Rasha who did terrible things.
famous paintings (overrated AND overpriced, me thinks!)
Have you ever seen a Famous Painting or Artwork in person?
They are not overated when you see them in person, seeing a picture of them does them no justice
That Rabbi is a member of the Vaad of Queens.
The Vaad of Queens doesnt hechsher certain places like those open on Shabbos (Owned by Goyim, but no meat sales Like an Ice Cream Store) so Rav Shecter does the hechsher for those places
In the US minority parties get seats on committies and things like that and have some influence there. In a parliment the only power they have is the speak in the parliment how evil the ruling party is.
Lapid is in, Bennett not so sure, It turns out the Bennett and SARA Netanyahu dont like each other and have a personal feud of some sort
It seems that someone at Habyit Hayudi also called for the draft of Charedim and Many Yesh Atid voters were secular right wingers whom Lapid wants to honor and not negotiate so much. he is not pro-arab.
Lapid does not want to be with the leftists, he wants to be with Bibi.
He testified on the stand that he took her on the trip upstate
Also the credit card receites from his charity are evidence. He never claimed the cars were stolen

Tolerence can mean different things to different people.
It is more tolerant and understandind to invite someone to your house for shabbos than throwing a stone a them. Its also more tolerant and understanding rather than tell someone I am learning and you pay for it, instead tell them I want to come to your house and learn with you (Or at least a Chavrusa over the phone)
No, I dont live in Israel
If I did I would have voted for Otzma B’Yisroel or Habyit Hayahudi.
Say to the Bereaved “Baruch Dayan Emes”
In a parlimetary system, parties in the opposition are powerless to do anything except trying to bring down the government with a no-confidence motion.
It isnt like the US where the minority party has some power, In Israel they have none
If the Charedi parties are not in the government they lost
The cutoff point to get seats in the Knesset is 2% of the vote Kadima got it and will have 2-3 seats
According to the Jerusalem Post the first person Bibi called was Lapid.
It depends what Yesh Atids #1 issue is going to be, Will it be the draft / Payments to Yeshivas or will it be the settlements.
Which one are they willing to compromise on, that will decide if they join the government and who will be the other party
He is not going to drop Bayit Hayudi. They are natural allies and are fairly close politically and ideolically.
he cannot have Shas/UTJ and Yesh Aitd in a coalition, Yesh Atid #1 issue seems to be the draft.
Nobody else can form a coalition as the #2 party is Yesh Atid, There isnt enough votes to get
Picking an english sounding name is ok, especially if you name is something like Chana
The asians do it all the time
Bibi is a polititian. Only the first 61 seats matter, those parties are in the strongest postion, everyone else gets scraps
He will play Shas/UTJ vs Yesh Atid off each other who will make the most concessions and be amicable to the majority of Likud voters.
No way to tell if results are good or bad for Charedi Parties
Depends who Bibi Coalitions with
He could go Likud-Habyit Hayudi-Shas-UTJ for about 61 seats , Shas wont got without UTJ
Or he could go
Likud-Habit Hayudi-Yesh Atid for about 62 seats
It seems a party ran on a platform of drafting the Charedim and seems to have gotten 19 seats (Yesh Atid) and the Charedi parties Shas and UTJ got 18 seats. This is only preliminary though
Polls are coming in
Prelimary results have Likud at 31 , Habayit Hayedi at 12 , UTJ at 6 , Yesh Atid at 19 , Labor at 17 ,Shas at 11 , Meretz at 7 Tzipi Livni at 7
Some Arabs and some Charedim dont vote

I was talking about the recipient. I dont know Rav Dovid’s opinion on the matter , only Rav Tendler.
A Son-in-Law can follow a father in Law, Rav Menachem Scheerson was the Son-In-Law of Rav Yitzchok Schnnerson
And The Steipler followed his Brother-in-Law the Chazon Ish. So it is possible for Shvers to follow.
GAW: Can you bring even an example of Rav Chaim disagreeing with the Steipler or of Rav Shmuel Auerbach disagreeing with Rav Shlomo Zalman — especially on a large notable issue?
Rav Moshe Feinstein assured Heart transplants, I have heard that Rav Tendler has permitted it because they are now safer than Rav Moshe assured them (He held that the doctor who removed the heart from the patient halachically killed them)
There is probably a Gemach which donations are tax deductable, You can mark on the check to the Gemach that the money is to be used to give directly to someone
