  1. New Sefer Biography on Rav Dovid Soloveitchik zatzal "אחרון לדור דעה"

    I intend on buying the biography but as a former Talmid Rav Dovid would not have approved of the title. You don't talk the way Chazel talked about those who saw Yetzais Mitzrayim and Maamed Har Sinai for a later generation .

    Thirty years when I was learning by him only Chabad talked that way as a part of their general borderline deification of their leader R'L . I will add that this is not the only case of language that only Chabad used thirty years ago making it's way into the Olam HaTorah.

  6. Does anyone remember those days, when every pundit, pikeach, coffee room guy was pontificating how Biden will step aside or be declared unfit, and Harris will take over immediately after taking office?
    Yeah, I thought so too.
    Does anyone remember Biden's 'radical left' agenda?
    Yeah, I though so too.

    Let us remember this lesson. The pontificators are blowing smoke out of their mechilos. Stop believing them!

    1. The reason you don't see the radical left of Biden as much is because of two democrats that voted against his so-called infrastructure bill. One of them is censured already. Not because the pundits were wrong per se.

    3. Go out of your narrow Orbit a little. The left agenda whilst stymied a bit in Washington
      IS alive and been going far forward that to most it's blas`e Basically

      Unnecessary to go to more obvious locations like campuses
      go have a conversation with your secular neighbours kids
      and going to a corporate office
      check how fast the rules have been changing

    4. Did Harris take over? Was Biden declared unfit?
      Have those people who were 'sure' that would happen, stopped talking? Have they admitted that they have and had no idea what they were talking about?

    5. They weren't so wrong. The leftist agenda is alive and well, and just now being tampered for the midterm elections. They are intentionally spreading this message, so that moderates might vote for them.
      And how about the pundits who declared that when Trump is elected the market will drop, we will be dragged into wars, gays will be rounded up, abortion outlawed, blacks will suffer, and other rhetoric. They were more correct about Biden than Trump.

      Totally don't get what you are hocking about because according to ALL opinions Biden as president is very very far to the left of who claimed to be as a candidate and whether he will step aside during the next three years or not is unknown.

      Another factor is that even if there was was such a plan Biden and the DNC did not realize how unpopular Harris would be back then. At this point they do and know what a disaster it will be for them if she becomes president. Had they known how unpopular she would be they never would have picked her as VP either. They would have found some other black lady instead .

    7. This is what Biden tweeted about a proposed Florida bill banning discussing toevah from being a topic of classroom conversation in elementary school

      I want every member of the Toeavah community — especially the kids who will be impacted by this hateful bill — to know that you are loved and accepted just as you are. I have your back, and my Administration will continue to fight for the protections and safety you deserve

      Apparently parents who don't want it discussed in their children's schools are hateful and have no rights. What a moderate!

    1. The deaths could be from months ago that they first ruled now to be from covid

  8. Any Lakewood graphics business could have done a better job than these posters but there is probably some sort of government backroom deal and bureaucracy which require them to go elsewhere for less competent and more expensive work.

  9. One thing they never get right: properly depicting Orthodox Jews!

  10. In case anyone didn't realize,those "campaign ads" are a poor photoshop of a real one. Even "next stop" on top is cut off on the bottom. I hope it is an Adar joke, I just am waiting for better humor.

  11. Why is nobody talking about the ecap summit? It is not fair. They invested so much time and effort to make sure that everyone will be talking about it, and it is all sha shtill.
    Make a tumult, give a rousing speech against aveiros, something. Don't just let such a thing happen without anyone talking about it.

      We appreciate you informing us what your religion is. Is that what we sacrifice[d] so much for? To build
      Yahadus in America? That was the attitude of American Jewish community in the 1920s and 30s

      They back then were more
      honest






      How come so many sacrificed nearly their all since
