lakewhutParticipantYou have to be careful that you’re doing it in a way that’s Lshem Shomayim. Chabad isn’t Karaite.
lakewhutParticipantWe learn from Korach not to get involved with Machlokes.
June 18, 2023 4:21 pm at 4:21 pm in reply to: Chabad Inspires all Jews to Yearn for Mashiach #2200894lakewhutParticipantBut how can we qualify breslov sefarim written by his talmidim that he himself didn’t write?
June 15, 2023 1:34 pm at 1:34 pm in reply to: Chabad Inspires all Jews to Yearn for Mashiach #2200176lakewhutParticipantA Rebbe is forever and that’s why Chabad believes the Rebbe is still living and moshiach. A lot of people believe that their Rebbe could be moshiach.
lakewhutParticipantAnd people who vote Democrat like the NY Askan machine are on the same team.
June 7, 2023 4:07 pm at 4:07 pm in reply to: Chabad Inspires all Jews to Yearn for Mashiach #2197592lakewhutParticipantAvirah I’ve heard from a respected litvish rov that the Alter Rebbe told people to learn for shalosh seudos. It’s not a new thing in Chabad to not eat Shalosh Seudos.
lakewhutParticipantHuju they tried this through the 1950s. The results were disastrous.
June 5, 2023 9:10 pm at 9:10 pm in reply to: Bridging the Gap Between The Torah World and MO #2196121lakewhutParticipantI’m not accusing but you can’t call something that Rav Moshe is Matir that it’s treif. That’s dishonest propaganda.
lakewhutParticipantWhat are your thoughts on the Halachic Prenup @ctl?
June 5, 2023 2:16 pm at 2:16 pm in reply to: Bridging the Gap Between The Torah World and MO #2195851lakewhutParticipantI don’t think people who don’t eat chalav stam is treif. Rav Moshe wouldn’t be matir something that’s treif. There’s no issue hanaah by chalav stam. Someone who throws it out instead of giving it to someone who does eat it is wasting food.
June 2, 2023 4:47 pm at 4:47 pm in reply to: Bridging the Gap Between The Torah World and MO #2195245lakewhutParticipantWhile not ideal for everyone there are plenty of frum people who go to Brooklyn college and go to a Yeshiva for 1 or 2 sedarim a day.
June 2, 2023 4:31 pm at 4:31 pm in reply to: Bridging the Gap Between The Torah World and MO #2195219lakewhutParticipantCharedim don’t believe in Kollel for a whole entire life. Take a look at Flatbush Lakewood and Passaic there are many yeshivish Baal Habatim who make time to learn every day and are very successful. Starting our married life fully learning is a special thing to do if everyone in the shidduch is on board with it and the guy is truly learning full time.

Modern Orthodox Jews going to mixed college campuses at age 18 is a problem today.
Do modern Orthodox rabbis encourage the use of filters for internet use?
These are very big issues that plague the MO world.
There’s a big difference between going to Touro and learning part time than going full time to a secular college.June 2, 2023 8:19 am at 8:19 am in reply to: Bridging the Gap Between The Torah World and MO #2195078lakewhutParticipantEEEE but it is. Even the righter wing of Teaneck just isn’t connected with the rest of the Torah world. Their only frame of reference when it comes to Rabbanus are mainly YU rabbis; they couldn’t name you the top yeshivas in America and their roshei yeshiva. The only way it will truly grow is if they get connected to the rest of the Torah world like Passaic does for example.
lakewhutParticipant“Making a public school explicitly Christian is slam dunk establishing a religion. I don’t get how that’s even being questioned.”
Ten Commandments doesn’t make it establishing a religion; they’re values. They teach evolution too. You’re the one who’s moving the goalposts around by saying that it establishes religion when it doesn’t. Religious ideas or expression aren’t establishing a religion.
June 1, 2023 10:51 am at 10:51 am in reply to: Bridging the Gap Between The Torah World and MO #2194813lakewhutParticipantDan The but do MO talk about the Zionist government promoting LGBT and other sources of tumah to EY or bringing in Russians knowing they weren’t really Jewish and giving them fake conversions? They don’t criticize ever.
lakewhutParticipant“I filed one in CT against a charter school taking public funds that starts the day with the Lord’s Prayer”
Because you’re a Democrat who takes the wrong position on every issue.
You’re day job is supposed to uphold the laws of the constitution but you use it to destroy it and replace it with a Democratic agenda.
June 1, 2023 9:24 am at 9:24 am in reply to: Bridging the Gap Between The Torah World and MO #2194769lakewhutParticipant“Isolated MO cities. The observance there is largely at the mercy of the abilities and circumstance of some rabbi many years ago.”
Teaneck is a large isolated MO city the debate applies here to. Very rare that a Rav not from YU gets hired by these shuls. The Rabbonim on the “right” are hush about certain things lest there be any backlash. If there’s any attempt to raise the standards of observance in the shuls, there will be backlash.
lakewhutParticipantAAQ Elizabeth isn’t a thing though
lakewhutParticipantAAQ correct about states rights. That’s why we can have dry counties in Utah and if a Mormon is chalishing for a drink, he can head over to Nevada and overindulge himself.
lakewhutParticipantYou’re taking courts/Democrat interpretation of the constitution. It might look like it but it isn’t.
lakewhutParticipantThe origin of the expression “separation of church and state” is found in a letter from Thomas Jefferson written to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1802. The Danbury Baptist Association had written a letter to the president voicing their concern that their state constitution lacked specific protections of religious freedom.
The Danbury Baptists wrote in the letter, “what religious privileges we enjoy (as a minor part of the State) we enjoy as favors granted, and not as inalienable rights. And these favors we receive at the expense of such degrading acknowledgments, as are inconsistent with the rights of freemen.”
Jefferson responded to the Danbury Baptists by referencing the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.
“I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between Church and State,” Jefferson said.
The metaphor of a “wall of separation” was not intended to say that religion should not influence opinion on government issues. Rather, it was used to affirm free religious practice for citizens.
lakewhutParticipantSeparation of church and state” is a metaphor paraphrased from Thomas Jefferson and used by others in discussions regarding the Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution which reads: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…”
Not ben Franklin
lakewhutParticipantNeville separation of church and state is based on a letter Ben Franklin wrote that the courts used to destroy religion in the US. True statement.
Expression of religion isn’t establishment. Also true statement. Expression of religion is protected by the first amendment. Both of these have been destroyed by the Democrats you probably vote for.
May 31, 2023 4:03 pm at 4:03 pm in reply to: Bridging the Gap Between The Torah World and MO #2194500lakewhutParticipantDa you have to admit that MO Rabbonim are between a rock and a hard place when it comes to tznius. A modern Orthodox Rav can’t say that women must come to shul dressed tznius. See through mechitzas are the norm.
lakewhutParticipantSeparation of church and state isn’t a constitutional amendment. Ten commandments in a school isn’t establishing a religion. Religion can be expressed in schools just like they celebrate various Christian and Muslim holidays.
lakewhutParticipantToday that’s much better than bringing in people in drag to tell them to have gender reassignment surgeries and that their parents are bad for discouraging it… This is new York a Democrat degenerate cesspool.
lakewhutParticipantYes we try to stick to our minhagim regardless as much as possible.
May 8, 2023 9:31 am at 9:31 am in reply to: A Chief Rabbi Attends the Coronation in a Church? #2188101lakewhutParticipantIf he doesn’t go then there could be a risk of danger to Jews in that the news will say that the Jews are disrespectful of the culture
May 6, 2023 10:50 pm at 10:50 pm in reply to: A Chief Rabbi Attends the Coronation in a Church? #2187682lakewhutParticipantIt’s part of the job he’s a member of the house of Lords.

April 26, 2023 2:06 pm at 2:06 pm in reply to: Seditious Ted Cruz and the rest of the coup plotting Republicans #2184414lakewhutParticipantDemocrats rigged the election when key states changed their rules for counting votes on election day causing suspicion on the integrity of our election systems.
April 18, 2023 10:19 am at 10:19 am in reply to: Mass shootings, and non mass shootings, must stop. #2181948lakewhutParticipantThis Democrat NRA narrative is trash. None of these shooters are members of the NRA.
April 17, 2023 7:14 pm at 7:14 pm in reply to: After Biden sent $1 billion to the PLO, Israeli deaths rose 900% #2181742lakewhutParticipantFunding the PLO is a full stop. And Re FDR the liberal Jews in his cabinet downplayed the Holocaust and didn’t want to advocate for them. There wasn’t a state of Israel during his presidency.
April 17, 2023 5:57 pm at 5:57 pm in reply to: why is Yeshiva world news bashing trump non stop #2181771lakewhutParticipantCTL Biden is the same.
April 17, 2023 4:49 pm at 4:49 pm in reply to: After Biden sent $1 billion to the PLO, Israeli deaths rose 900% #2181744lakewhutParticipantThe terror problem got worse since Biden took over and it’s no coincidence.
April 17, 2023 8:00 am at 8:00 am in reply to: After Biden sent $1 billion to the PLO, Israeli deaths rose 900% #2181444lakewhutParticipantDemocrats fund the PLO — direct funding of anti-semites
April 16, 2023 9:55 pm at 9:55 pm in reply to: After Biden sent $1 billion to the PLO, Israeli deaths rose 900% #2181396lakewhutParticipantNotice how none of the resident Democrats aren’t refuting it; they’re just deflecting, like their leader Joe Biden does.
April 16, 2023 9:54 pm at 9:54 pm in reply to: After Biden sent $1 billion to the PLO, Israeli deaths rose 900% #2181395lakewhutParticipantGH wrong that’s where your cognitive dissonance kicks in

April 16, 2023 9:54 pm at 9:54 pm in reply to: Mass shootings, and non mass shootings, must stop. #2181391lakewhutParticipantThat won’t stop the Chicago and los Angeles gun crimes where there are already tight measures.
lakewhutParticipantIs a YU Rav, Harav Hagaon?
lakewhutParticipantThey probably did go somewhere
lakewhutParticipantBiden is a moron. The stupidest person to hold office from senate to vp to WH. He doesn’t have one good piece of legislation and policy on record.
lakewhutParticipantSo you’re happy that they’re getting us into WW3?
lakewhutParticipantIf one can make a living in EY, it’s within his shalom Bayis, it works for his children’s chinuch, and the ruchniyus level doesn’t go down, it’s ideal to live there now.
