School Vouchers are almost impossible to get legal in NY, there is something called a Blaine amendment which was written in the late 19th century against catholic schools, They tried to change it in the 1960’s but it proved to be almost impossible to remove.
And even if somehow vouchers became the norm, by accepting them you would also allow the government to regulate them to an extent like curriculum issues (When you accept the money , you also accept the terms that come with them)
If the community “taxes itself” does that mean yeshivas would be forced to take all kids no matter what? If a Belz Yeshiva for example takes a “community tax” from more MO people and one of their kids who has a TV in the house and goes to movies (and will not stop) do they have a right to refuse entry to such a kid , especially since they took the parents money. If you are going to take peoples money, you are going to have to take their kids as well
There is a old joke
(Q) How can you make a little money in Israel
(A) Bring alot with you
It is very expensive to live in Israel and its tough to make Parnassoh there
I dont know if the OP realizes thats you just cant move from Israel to UK or USA, to get to USA you need a VISA, if you dont have one you cannot come to USA and even if you do get one you are not allowed to work without a Green Card or some authorization and there is no social net in USA like there is in Israel
Its not just widows, divorcees etc.
If you have say 5 Kids and the tution is $5,000 a kid, thats $25,000 you need Before taxes and any other expensive (Including food and rent/mortgage) You need to make an insane amount of money to be frum nowadays. If your rent/mortgage is $2000 a month thats another $24,000 you need, $49,000 and you didnt buy food , utitities or transportation or pay taxes yet. You easily need to make $100,000 just to get by. $75,000 isnt going to cut it. and $75,000 is a decent salary.
HaLevi
One is allowed to do almost anything to save a life (Except the Big 3). I did not know that if Hashem tells you not to say and you do tell them, its a big averirah
If someone really had ruach HaKodesh today, dont you think it would be unethical of them not to tell someone they were in immediate danger from someone or to tell us where the missing are
Does anyone really think the recent cases that have gone to the Media because the husband refused a get was a “Kiddush Hashem”?
They even have Sushi…..
If you are so worried about saying anything, Just Say December 25th
Everyone knows what you mean
According to Mikvah Finder, the only Mikvah in Austin requires a 48 hour advance notice to use it
Rabbis of large Shuls like the White shul do get six figures, but dont count your money yet. those jobs rarely open and are hard to get when they do open
Not for me, I was there and I didnt see any frum Jews and it was insanely hot
Austin isnt cheap anymore, Its considered the #1 place to move to in the US so housing prices there are soaring
Paris
I hated Paris, but the Jews of Paris were the nicest Ive ever encountered
I am sure if someone said they went to someone and something good happend the Mods would let it go through
But would the mods let go through someone who claimed to be a miracle maker and someone had gone to that person with the Kvitel and then nothing happend except the persons wallet was lighter?
if it is said as a warning to others without being a slander against the concept of going for brachos/advice from Rabbeim, there is a good chance it would go through
Its not just for dolls, Ive seen it used to toy prototypes
And Actually its a legal issue because you can make toy plastic guns with it
Its not clear if the civilians on the roof are there of their own volition or are being forced there by Hamas either physically or through other forms for coersion
My Brother and Sister in Law usually vacation in lakewood
Its not stealing and its not illegal. You do not have to pay any more than you are legally required to pay.
It would be very different if you used some illegal or semi-legal method to avoid the toll.
BTW many times this method adds more time to the trip than its worth. It is not a zero sum game
You need to read the consitution better
It take 3/4 of the House and Senate to pass an amendment Then 2/3 of the states must ratify it.
Good luck on that
I am not concerned about the Kashruth of Schav, I am not eating it under any circumstances. They do sell it though, usually around Pesach
Food is very personal thing, everyone has likes and dislikes.
I do not belive there is such a thing as a “Hemish Taam” You like what you like and dislike what you dislike.
I personlly love sushi,but I have a friend who calls it bait
DY
Do you also like Schav?
Pitcha? Thats even worse than Herring. That truly needs to go to the cullinary scrap heap.
Yeah there should be an asifa on Schamltz Herring. Just think how many Tsuris of the yidden have been caused by Schmaltz Herring
Now I am curious, Did someone actually ask Rav Elyshiv a Shalia what foods to serve at a Kiddush or a similar question?
They dont usually like serving Egg Salad either, because people only eat it when there is nothing else to eat.
In my Shul Kiddushes, the Baal Simcha somestimes brings the Schmaltz Herring. It is never eaten. The entire table of food will be wiped clean except for the Schmaltz Herring (Even the Egg Salad is eaten before the Schmaltz Herring). total baal tashichs
Gateshead is very yeshivish Charedi Lakewood types and its very far away from everything , its like 300 miles from London
I think Hampstead is where the Chassidim Like
Golders Green is where the more Modern Orthodox live , but there are Chassidim in Golders Green too (Golders Green is next to Hampstead)
Ive never been to Manchester only London (Golders Green and Hampstead are in London)_
If you break the computer, what do you think will be accomplished, If you think your son will learn more or do you think he will just get angrier and sneak around more and not tell you what he is doing.
and you need to give yourself an honest answer, not what you want the answer to be
I have only one question?
WHY would anyone want to do such a thing
Schmaltz Herring is one of the nastiest foods ever invented.
Its not true, I know many would like it to be true, but its not
The Chabad in the Melrose area is where I would try, they are quite large there
Rav Ovadiah Yosef prohibited Bloodsport (Bullfighting) and even prohibited seeing a bullfight
No its not according to most
You can fish if you like though
This is not such a good idea. Not everyone who can have a baby should have a baby. Setting aside the financial issues, there are other issues some people are already taxed from the kids they already have and cannot handle anymore kids. Not everyone can handle 10 Kids or 8 Kids or whatever number and its not good for the parent or the child when this happens
Its alot easier to be frum in the US because of people like Rabbi Heshel.
Until the 1960’s relgious rights were somewhat limited. While its true you could get a new job everyweek at some point many people gave up and eventually worked on Shabbos.
The US army did not have kosher provisions and while some tried (and did keep kosher) many were not able to.
Things like leaving work early on Friday was unheard of. Money for Yeshivas (There is indirect money and lots of it for stuff like books, School buses and more)
You needed people to get the laws and attitude in the US to be changed in order for frumkite to exist.
How is it justified that millions of dollars are literally being flushed down the toilet when so many yidden have so many tzaros ?
How about the millions of dollars spent on Lavish weddings when so many yidden have so many tzros.
It has not been postive press when these agunahs are forced to seek PR to get a divorce. Its been a termendous Chilul Hashem
A PR campaign is not as simple as you think
Why would anyone want to force 2 people to stay married when at least one of them doesnt want to be there. Forcing someone to stay married is not a good receipe for shalom bayis especially if there are children (Divorce is better than having 2 people constantly fighting , arguing etc with each other)
A man can get a Heter Min Rabbanim and remarry. A woman cannot
During the Holocause Stealing food was really the only way to surive
In New York State, You can only Homeschool if you are a licensend Teacher unlike many other states where the parent can actually be illterate and still home school
But the reality is these kids will likley go to public school.
No, they would stay home.
Maybe for the first week or 2 , but having a teen home alone doing nothing while their friends are going to school is a recipe for disaster. At least in Public school they might be doing something productive
If you think school is too hard, maybe you are in the wrong school. The double curriculum for jewish schools is overwheming for many esepcially if you have a learning disability which many yeshivas are not equiped to handle
Um
You need math to live. It is not a useless subject.
This is not about Legally, Yes the yeshivas can deny entry and Yes the parents can home school the kids instead of Public School although this is tough in NY. To claim relgious reasons to drop out might not apply here since other relgious jews attend school which is not the case with the Amish
But the reality is these kids will likley go to public school.
And to put the blame anywhere but the yeshivas for MOST (not All) of these kids is misplaced (There are always kids like severly disabled like autistic or severly developmentally disabled or maybe violent who should not be with anyone except super qualified teachers)
I think you missed the point, If we dont make room for these kids they will go elsewhere and we will see another thread about OTD or as some call them Pushouts
Remember If there is no room in the jewish schools, Public Schools always have room
Why would I want carbon monoxide?
It was a joke, Carbon Monoxide is deadly
One can Abridge literary works that are in the Public Domain like Shakespeare, One cannot abridge copyrighted works like Harry Potter
D-Day was only the start of the end of the Nazis, A better argument might be for V-E Day or if you were a prisoner and a camp and the day you were liberated
