Wow this place has changed so much.

Gosh I miss the good old days.

This isn’t a regular kid missing. There’s too many holes in the story. It sounded like mental illness and/or abuse to me. Either ran away or suicide. Since they haven’t found a body I think he probably ran away and is just lying low.

There’s also issues with bishul akum here too – as well as ingredients, Jews milking cows on shabbos, and using the milk in production.

With restaurants there’s a huge issue of supervision. As AvireDeArah said, terumah, maaser, smittah – even with a good hashgocha if there’s not supervision somewhere what happens when they run out of cucumbers? Any joe shmoe who isn’t frum will go to any store to pick up more.

A woman in the north died this past year after eating milchig ice cream in a meat rabbanut restaurant.

Maybe people would come forward more if they weren’t put in cherem for it, people were trying to set their houses on fire, and they wouldn’t get all their kids kicked out of school.

But alas – that’s the reality.

No, there’s a 13.5% chance you may be a bot.

I thought you meant novels.
I don’t see an issue with those types of books.

There really does need a couple of week to date, get to know each other, be open and honest and ask both people if they really want to get into a relationship with this person and their whole package and all their “issues”. (We all have them).

There’s so much shushing up, lying, hiding – it’s insane

WOW memories. Aw 15 year old me had such a cute response to this thread.

We don’t understand Hashem. I know it’s hard. I’m around the same age and I’m single too.
(Don’t worry ya’ll you will all know when i get engaged).

I agree that saying no based on pictures is NOT a good idea. People look different in real life; in addition girls can build attraction through emotional connection. No one I know who got married came back from a 1st or 2nd date saying “Omg he’s so hot! He’s so attractive!”. Obviously if someone is deformed, or looks like he may be mentally ill or a serial killer than I’d pass too. But you don’t need to be physically attracted to do a 1st date; or a 2nd one either. You need to not absolutely hate his looks and want to throw up by the thought of meeting him.

I have no idea if you are being realistic as I haven’t seen you around here much. I’ve been off the site for quite a while.

Also maybe you’re not ready. Maybe you’re bashert is 4 years younger than you and is still in high school.
We don’t know!

You are very young. I’m sorry there’s rumours going around. That sounds mean and tough to deal with. I hope you can find it within you to keep going, doing your hishtadlus, and davening.

If you are still nervous perhaps go to a dating coach to talk over your concerns with her.

Well the ethiopians are much more violent than the frum protesters.
I think 64 police officers were sent to the hospital.
So; perhaps they didn’t want to make more violence than needed and were scared to approach them.

Wait, what? What does that have to do with anything I said?

I forgot, also I see many newlyweds at late night shavous shuirs who don’t have kids yet.

I don’t think anyone HAS TO stay up.
It’s a nice thing to do if you can.
Old people, young people, sick people cannot.
Mother’s who must take care of children; cannot.
Single women, mothers with kids all married – sure why not? Where I live there’s shuirs for women up until 4-5 AM

I know in Israel a school needs to meet a certain standard to be in on the “BY” club.
There are schools outside the system with BY standards.
But there are no schools within the BY system that don’t meet the criteria.

Sending a child to a BY school is basically knowing that they meet those standards.

The song was written by and for a wiccan cult to serve nature.

1) What if someone likes a priests classes about the old testament because it makes them feel holier?
I’m sorry but halacha doesn’t really care about your feelings in every area. Is it right to steal if you feel you rightfully deserve it? What if not being tzniyus or shomer eneyim makes you feel holier? Can you go against halacha simply because it “feels” like it should be okay?

2) If someone is sexually abusing people in the community, we shouldn’t publicize it because “Oy nebach, it will ruin his name”. Obviously it’s wrong to make up stuff about people, or on purpose give them a bad name but if someone is causing harm to others; either by sexually abusing them or by giving people things to listen to or see that are against the Torah; that’s not the time to keep quiet.

I have NOTHING against Matt Dubb, I don’t know if he knew the origins of the song or not; and I’m not EVEN discussing THAT. We are discussing the origins of a noun, a physical thing, that may or may not be assur. No one here has criticized or made threats to or judged Matt Dubb.

3) Is it being machmir if your Rabbi says it’s assur? Oh no, were turning kids of yiddishkeit by telling young girls they have to wear socks and can’t wear pants. It’s assur now to watch inappropriate movies? What? But, like so many people do it and it’s fun, it can’t be assur. Uch, I don’t want to be frum anymore.

So which Rav allows Avodah Zara?
Also I think minhag yisroel is if ALL the leaders of the generation agree on something and it’s really hard to make one nowadays.

@outsiderlookingin

Talking to the opposite gender or having a relationship is not considered EVIL. But in general, a relationship with the opposite sex who is not your spouse or your intermediate family, what is the purpose of it? Where will it go? You constantly want to put each other in a place where you are taking energy and time to avoid a problem or something happening? Many say you should not have any type of relationship with the opposite sex who is not related to you.

Gosh I wish my filtered internet at home wasn’t blocking half this thread.
Maybe I’ll get a chance to read it at work, it sounds so fascinating.

What great Rav said this is ok?

Depends how religious the person is.
Depends what type the college is.
Depends on how necessary college is.
Depends on the the options.
Depends on how often there is classes and for how many years.
Depends on how strong the person is.
Depends on what the person’s rav says.
