I’d imagine those who married a Sephardic wife have the same problem with their in-laws eating kitniyos.
Ive been told by people in Israel that Kitnoyot is sort of falling by the wayside there because there is alot of intermarriage between Sephardim and Ashkenazim in all communities except the charedi ones.
Its not so easy to go to your Mother-In-Law and not eat her food and not let the grandchildren eat Savta’s cooking
I know people in Baltimore and they were on lockdown.
The jewish area is Resitertown, but that I belive it part of Baltimore proper, just not the downtown
“have to worry about your kids being stabbed”.
There were severe riots last year in a major frum area
Some baalei teshuva develop an unbecoming arrogance about being more religiously observant than their parents, and if ends up causing an unintended chillul Hashem.
A family member runs a halacha hotline and they told me the #1 Shaala they get is children who are more frummer than their parents and when they go home to the parents for Pesach
I dont know if you speak yiddish or not, but if you dont Id recommend going to a group that speaks in english like Chabad
Most US jobs only give you 10 vacation days
between 4 for Peseach, 2 for Shavouth , 2 for Rosh Hashanan, 1 for Yom Kippur and 4 for Sukkoth, thats 13 days. usually you get lucky and some of those days occur on a Shabbos, Sunday (Or Memorial Day for Shavouth). You dont have days left for Chol Hamoed especially if you try to take off for Purim and Tisha B’Av as well
Unity usually means I am correct and you should agree with me, not that I should agree with you
The beach is free and if you can go to Jones beach quite empty as most people are at school and work
Take a trip to Gateshead and see all the beautiful torah there (I am aware its like 250 miles from london to Gateshead)
even though you changed the name, that comment is still really rude. he is mocking jewish dress
Okay, gone. -100
So let them take over Syria & Lebanon. Like it was in the Ottoman empire. The British and French did a bad job – giving them independence!
Turkey has been struggling with refugees from lebanon and now from Syria and now you want them to take over those countries and have even more refugees?
Just a suggestion, is it possible you can join another seder instead of doing it alone?
I think it will work alot better if you have it with other people
FYI Turkey is no longer conneted to Israel anymore , Either Lebanon or Syrian is in the way
There are very few places in the world where a country is sepereated by another country Kalingrad (Koningsburg) and Alaska and the only ones I can of right now
Alot of people who do not want to get married Halchically or cant marry halachically go to Cyprus or sometimes the Czech republic. It seems this cannot be easily banned either as Israel signed some international treaties allowing its marriages to be recongized in other countries so they have to recognize marriages performed in other countries even if they are against halacha
Arabs and other non-jews (non jewish russians for example) who are citizens of Israel have the same license plate as jews
Its only Palestinians and live in the territories who are not citzens that have a different license plate

You said fine the people. I saw that
What if someone is not jewish and says I want to drive on Saturday. You advocate for them to be fined for driving on SHabbos event though they are perfectly allowed to
Soy Sauce cotains roasted grain
The rebbe’s go to secular court too
People will find this hard to belive, but I dont eat chocolate Cake (Passover or Not Passover)
What if someone doesn’t like matzah or marror?
Its a Mitzvah to eat a Kezays and you dont have to eat Chazon Ish portions either of that however there is no other food that I know of that its a Mitzvah to specifically eat that. Also marror is not one item, there are several choices, You can eat Lettuce , Horseradish or Endive
food is very personal choice. I do not belive anyone should have to eat something they dont like
maybe other states have write in, but New York does not, this post is about NY
There isnt a write in option for the PRIMARIES, in the general election you can vote for whomever you want.
You actually dont vote for candidates, you vote for a delegate who is pledged to support that candidate, it was a bit confusing
You can MIND THE GAP
the government could force stores to be closed on Shabbos (It can fine the store) , The , however it cannot stop driving (Because you dont know who is driving the car) nor can it stop people from eating Non-Kosher
Nor can the government stop Toeva, It cannot go into peoples bedrooms
The government COULD make pedestrian zones on Shabbos (Banning cars from some streets) It COULD fine stores for being open on Shabbos (It would have to fine all stores including non-jewish ones)
Depends if you are a registered Democrat or republicans
Democrats cannot vote for trump and republicans cannot vote for Hillary
If you are registered as neither you cannot vote
They sell Quinoa Sushi, so you can have your Sushi at the Seder
Cameras only know that the car is being driven, not who is the driver
Someone who is not jewish could be driving the car
I am not saying Israel strive for a religious state, Of course it should strive for it, but those who claim it isnt a relgious state ignore the realities of the population there who dont want a relgious state.
Charedim who wish for a Torah state should just have patience, their birthrate is much higher than the chilonim and at some point will be the majority. The chilonim will likely move into their own enclaves away from the charedi population
taking away peoples driving licnses on shabbos will not stop them from driving.
Every year there are people who wind up at the Staten Island hospital Burn unit , it is not part of the Mitzvah of pesach to go there as a patient
Its not unanimous among Rabbanim that its assur to go to the Har Habyis. Follow your Rav’s opinion
Unless you are going to publically give Sikella, you cannot force people to keep Shabbos and some people will delibertatly disobey if you tell them to obey
You wouldnt get upset if somone served you Herring?
jews were killed in Pogroms of Europe and they didnt even own the land
Jews will get killed no matter what
Seems that Herring has replaced Gefilte Fish as the fighting Fish

Living there is alot different than running the country. Its not so easy to run a country
I would love to know where do the Anti-Zionists think jews should live. Going back to the Shtels of Europe is not really an option and its actually difficult to emigrate to the US. So where do you propose jews go
Its one thing to condemn something, its quite another to come up with a solution
Amen
Joseph
If I stand online outside your door will you give me a Bracha?
If someone poskins Halacha from Joseph, they must be a averich of the Rebbe of Chelm
GAW
If someone went to the Rebbe and said they ate McDonalds and another said they ate OU-D Haagen Daze Ice cream do you really think you would get the same reaction
I most certainly did answer the question,
There are Poskim who do not hold by O-U Star-K or other mass market hashghcha and only want their people to eat their own approved hashchas, does that make the mass market hashgchas treif
the poskim who still disallow it I dont think they say anyone who eats Chalav stam is doing an Averiah. If you ask one of these Rabbanim does someone get an averiah for eating oU-D Haagen Daze ice cream I dont think they would say yes, but they might discourage you from eating it.

It didnt change the Halacha, Chalav Akum is still forbidden, however I am saying the milk is not Chalac Akum , Its Chalav Machine meaning the cow was not milked by a goy or a jew. it wasnt milked by any person. It was milked by a machine which is a different category.
I think other countries depend of the county. A western country that everything is automated is not the same as some third world country where people really do milk the cows by hand
Ive been to the farms as well
basically what is done is the cows are herded to a milking barn and metal rods are placed on their udders
the udders are hooked up to some machine that sucks out the milk and it is put into a Giant vat
There arent milkmaids anymore sitting on a stool milking the cow, it takes too long, The machine can milk the cow fairly quickly
Also if you have ever been to a farm, there are always alot of flies there. The machines prevent the flies from getting into the milk vat which is an issue for the health inspectors
You dont need a library card to read books in the Library, you only need the card to take out books
Milk from a non-kosher animal costs more than milk from a cow so there is no financial incentive to do so
DY
Go to a Dairy farm, everything is automated, you really have to want to mix the milk to mix it. Human hands never touch anything from the cow, to the giant contains that hold the milk to the milk truck that carts it away
Nobody milks cows anymore, its done by machines. The pipes for the Udders only fit a cows udder, they do not fit a Pigs udder or any other animals udder
It is impossible to mix the milk anymore
