I dont need to speak to my local Rabbi about the need for Smoke Dectectors, Carbon Monoxide Dectectors and an escape Ladder. Some things should be obvious to anyone.
If the Mods allow this link to the First Alert Website for the 14ft Escape ladder, If you have more than one story in your house, you should get one. Jumping out of the window is not a plan. Put one in every bedroom in your house if you can.

We must all have working smoke detectors in our homes. That being said, if that’s the message you get out of this horrific tragedy, you’ve MISSED THE POINT!!
No I did not miss the point. One should not rely on miracles , Getting a working smoke dectector and carbon monoxide detector is cheap and saves lives and you can help prevent another tragedy from occuring.
If you know of some poor people who cannot afford the $35 for a smoke detector/ carbon Monoxide detector, buy it for them as a gift
First Alert also makes an escape ladder for about $35 on Amazon if you have to escape from the second floor. Get one and give one to a Gemach!!!
Its not even clear that there was a Cherem on Spain. There certainly isnt one for Germany
Please make sure you have a working smoke dector and carbon Monoxide dectector.
BTW one could say the same thing about any “Luxury” why drive a lexus, why not drive a 1995 Ford station wagon and give the money to Tzedakah.
Why go on vacation anywhere, just stay home and give the money to Tzdekah for the trip.
why eat out. Our ancestors never ate out, eat simply at home and give the rest away
I dont go to Hotel, however for many people especially older ones, Peseach has become a miserable holiday. Between cooking and cleaning, grandma is pooped out and cant enjoy yom tov with family. So people just say, Ill just pay the money and be done. grandma can pay some money and enjoy time with family. Perhaps is people didnt get so OCD over Pesach, people would not go
Likud and labor are more of a general party as they need to spread out their votes more than special interest smaller parties
There is a Hemish hotel on 13th Ave in BP around 48th St
UTJ and Shas are not as strong as you think, if their demands are not met, Yesh Atid is waiting in the wings. an d they will be out of the government again which they cant stand
You have read more carefully, they were allowed to work at 24. Just no government benefits. However this did not suit some some for political reasons
Lapid did allow the Charedim to work without serving once somone hit 24. However they would not be able to collect any government money.
Found this from Haaretz
In the Haredi city of Bnei Brak, United Torah Judaism won 59.35% of the votes. Another 23.97% voted for Shas, 5.5% for Yahad, 4.57% for Likud, 2.35% for Habayit Hayehudi, 1.28% for the Zionist Union and 1.15% for Kulanu. The rest of the parties all had less than 1% of the vote in the city.
I suspect you are not the only charedi who feels that way. I think many voted Likud and not UTJ . If statistics ever came out for Bnei Brak you would get a clearer picture
Sarah Schnerer was the founder of Beis Yaakov,
Liberman and charedim are in
which CRC, the Chicago one or the Satmar one?
FYI when I was in Paris, they told me the o-U was not acceptable
There was a Butcher on Long Island called Commack Kosher Butcher who has a conservative Rabbi as supervision. At the tine ny had a kosher law and the butcher was fined because they did not meet the orthodox requiremts. They sued based on they had conservative supervision and the law was declared un constitutional.
comments on some blog arent going to get you sued, but if someone local orthodox rabbi declared publically not to buy from a place with conservative supervision, the owner might have grounds for libel.
Smallpox was the greatest killer of all time, not the Plague
If Rav Shmuel was your posek, would you go against his Psak and vaccinate?
The arabs will not sit with Herzog, they have said so. I cant post a link, but they have said so publically. Check Jpost or Haaretez.
Kulanu is run by an ex-Likudnick who is right wing, he just dislikes Bibi, He is more likely to sit with Bibi than Herzog.
The Haredi partieis have said they will not be in government with Lapid. If they go back on their statement (Theirs not mine) they will be seen as liars and people with no backbone except for money
Unless the Arab party supports Herzog, he cant win. You need 61 votes to form a government and with Shas/UTJ refusing to sit with Lapid, its impossible for Herzog to get to 61
If you dont want an iwatch, dont get it, nobody is forcing you to buy one and its not even clear if its all hype or its going to sell. The screen is too small
People are more visual nowadays, they need to see stuff and people.
The video makes him real as opposed to a book that he wrote (Maybe for you its differnt, but most people a video changes things alot)
Lighten up, Dont always be so serious
The point was it was a photo of known Gadol , it doesnt matter what the photo was printed on. You cannot be disrepectful to it. I doubt you could be disrepctful towards it if it was printed against his will
Israel does not have a written constitution like the US, It is an oral implied constitution like the UK, Freedom of speech isnt the same there as it is here
Kavod L’Rav superseeds Freedom of Speech.
FYI if a Campaign poster has Psukim on it, you are not allowed to destroy it. Campaign poster is irrevelent
Chernobyl Chassidim are a glowing light unto the world
…live in the most insolent and messed up generation ever.
And how do you know previous generations were such saints. The people in the Midbar were punished for Baal Pe-or. Zimri and Cozby were as much a debuchery as anything that occurs today.
People who worshipped Molech would send their children through fire to worship the gods (mostly killing them)
Just to add to DQB’s post during the warmer months there are people who sunbathe in Central Park and certainly not dressed Tzniut
I think I remember hearing at least one medrash it wasnt that he didnt bow down, Its more he made a scene out of it. Like Haman would not have noticed some random person not bowing (I guess this medrash does not assume they knew each other before) but when he made a scene about it, he noticed
Actually the head of reform doesnt speak for anyone except himself. I doubt most reform jews even knows his name or anything he has said
Im dreaming of a White Purim, Just like the ones I used to know
We wish you a Happy Purim, We wish you a Happy Purim and a Kosher Pesach
What a chilul hashem that protest was, Hamas and Hezbollah could not have better friends
Its a Purim prank and I think its actually quite funny
Its seems Joseph is Lior
And vashtischwartz is Daas Yochid
you can get an Itunes card from most stores for about $10 and use that and they do not cancel your account
It wasnt clear what the OU wants a hechsher for. Marijuana ciggarettes, Marijuana Pills or baked goods. Obviously the baked goods need a hechsher, but my questions is just for the ciggarettes or pills
Why would the u-o feel a need to put a hechser on medical Marijana. How many medicines really have hasghcha that are perscription and many are really trief like oscal.
If the doctor tells you to take it, you can generally take it
The Jewish malchus is also inherited
Menasseh was the son of Hilkiyahu
I think this post is related to the story that came out this week that the o-u is considering putting hecherhers on Marijuana. it wasnt clear if they are just going to put it on joints or baked goods
The biggest advocates of long copyights is the Disney company who copied most of their famous cartoons from the Anti-Semites the Brother Grimm (Snow White, Cinderella , Beauty and the Beast and the Jew among thorns)
At one time Tobacco was the #1 killer in the US, I think now its obesity (Or obesity is rising fast)
Liquor is probably more dangerous than Marajiuana. And especially this week coming up. Many bochering do not normally drink during the year, but will get drunk on Purim, some will R’L drive or be hit by some who did drink and drive.
Too much Alcohol also causes cirrhosis of the liver and other liver diseases as well
FYI the Queen of England is actually powerless and basically a ceromonial position. The Kings and Queens of England were basically stripped of their powers in 1689 for the gloriuos revolution.
And I am not so sure Queen Elizabeth is a direct decendent of William the Conqueror either. There have been breaks in the monarchy and there was a civil war in england in the 15th century (War of the Roses)
I dont think Medical Marjauna would need a chechser, I think the OU is looking to give chechser on Brownies and cupcakes made with Marijuana
Marajana might be less dangerous than Ciggarettes or Alchohol.
However there is the Dinah D’Malchus Dinah issue. For most states and countries of the world
