    You’re providing journalistic commentary and I’m providing my real life experience. What I told you is exactly what I do. I pay for a seat that the “mammals” can’t overflow into. Even if it means an extended stopover because of the cost.

    “But this time I got a window seat. So it is marginally less stupid.”

    So now you can be stuck between one or 2 “incredibly obese mammals” and a window and we’ll read about your childish complaining.

    If you don’t want to be stuck between 2 incredibly obese mammals you can pay to choose your seat. If you insist on flying an airline that doesn’t allow seat selection (even for a price) it’s your own fault.

    Toras Chochom is a shul, not a Yeshiva. Most of the people there don’t identify as Breslov. Breslover Torah is rarely mentioned regardless of Rav Morgenstern Shlita’s connection to Breslov.

    “Yeshu” Hanotzri as he was referred to by Yidden is Roshei Teivos Y’emach SH’emo V’ezichro.

    When Js for X realized that they changed it to Yeshua. There is no source claiming that he was ever named Yehoshua.

    Your words on the issue (comment #2190287)

    “It makes no sense to say it’s a chumrah. If it’s mutar, it’s due to pikuach nefesh (the hospitals need electricity), if it’s assur then it’s chillul Shabbos.”

    There are certainly people like those you speak of. If you alienate them you are also alienating their children. The best you can do is ignore them. Like ChaZa”l say

    Those who tell people “stop being so picky” are the nastiest people around.

    You don’t know what’s going on in somebody else’s life, although you may think you do. It’s NOT constructive criticism. It’s NOT caring. It’s BULLYING in it’s purest form.

    It comes from the same place as the old saying “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”.

    Rav Yitzchok Lichtenstein Shlita is an actual Brisker, having absorbed the Brisker Derech under the tutelage of his grandfather’s cousin Rav Meshulam Dovid.

    The malochim were kicked out of Torah Vodaas for several reasons, the discussion isn’t relative to this thread. However, the main Rabbi who was matir the expulsion is infamous for having left over his grandson Dr. Norman Lamm for America to deal with.

    When people refer to Brisk nowadays, they mean the branch of The Brisker Rov aka Moron HaGRI”Z Haleivi.

    I don’t know who the Ashkenaz Rov of Sterling Forest is. However, if he eats Machine Shmura Matza it doesn’t matter how many yea5he learned in Brisk, he’s not a Brisker. A Brisker does things the way The Brisker Rov and his children and grandchildren did and continue to do. It’s not just a derech halimud, it’s a way of life.

    To several posters

    RAY regardless of his greatness has been known colloquially as AJ for as long as he’s been RY or even longer, by supporters and detractors.

    No Brisker ever ate machine matzos on Pesach.

    “Bikoires” is very popular among frum Jews, chassidim and litvishe equally. I’m not saying it’s a good thing but YWN CR wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t.

    That’s all for now.

    Chassidishe Sh’chita has nothing to do with the shochet being chassidish. It’s about an innovation that was brought about in sh’chita knives by the chassidim and eventually became standard.
