The "Kashrus Organization", assuming such exists, rather than an individual providing the supervision, needs to be able to trust the owners prior to even considering certifying or supervising Kashrus.

I heard of someone who wanted to get a certain Kashrus Organization certification for ab establishment (year round, not Pesach). Since the proprietor was a שנה ופרש, to the extent that he even had semicha, the Kashrus Organization refused to consider it unless he had a bone fide partner they would be willing to trust.

Quite a few kashrus orgs won't give a hechsher to non shomer shabbos food establishments period. (Piresh or not). Other kashrus orgs do

It’s truly sad to see the Agudah acting so ineptly.

"Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetsky, the rosh yeshiva of the Talmudical Yeshiva of Philadelphia, and his wife, Temi, write and lecture on the Jewish anti-vax circuit, according to a 2014 article in the Baltimore Jewish Times that quoted him. To further exacerbate the problem, in 2015 Rabbi Kamenetsky signed a letter authorizing rabbis of Lakewood, New Jersey’s Beth Medrash Govoha(BMG) to admit unvaccinated children.  And even a cursory search of the web reveals that Rabbi Kamenetsky isn’t the only Jewish religious authority who claims Halacha is on his side.
Of course, Rabbi Kamenetsky needn’t rely on Jewish law to justify his views when it would be just as easy, perhaps easier, to find justifications in secular society. Just this week, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his Children’s Health Defensegroup filed for a temporary restraining order against the New York City Department of Health on behalf of five parents of unvaccinated children, citing “violation of petitioners’ rights under the United States Constitution and New York State law.” This is not the first time that pseudoscience and health fads of the larger culture have found their way into insular Jewish communities, and it is unlikely to be the last, but what a strange shidduch it makes."

After the last debacle, you shouldn't be.

What many ppl do is make a new Google account just for the music and add that one to their Phone/s
(Without setting your main email as a recovery)

So you don't have main email on your phone?

IMO the burden of such reporting is on the entity that the closing costs are paid on behalf of

Probably, but these thing are usually about who gave cash to who.

99% of the time 1099 are missed, and the attorneys get away with it. What else is new...

Just saw this. I thought from the title that they were serving pork or something. I've heard of similar stories in general not just by pesach.

Title is misleading big time

All infants above 6 months should get the shot. Otherwise yes, stay away from large frum gatherings with babies.

I know first hand of horrific measle cases in the community that are for some reason not reported.
The danger is real.

You start sounding like CBC when you write like that.

Not saying that I agree with the writer, but if you want to understand the reasoning of people to vote for the United Right Wing read http://col.org.il/%D7%97%D7%93%D7%A9%D7%95%D7%AA_%D7%97%D7%91%D7%93_%D7%9C%D7%9E%D7%94_%D7%90%D7%A0%D7%99_%D7%9E%D7%A6%D7%91%D7%99%D7%A2_%D7%98%D7%91_%D7%95%D7%9C%D7%90_%D7%90%D7%A6%D7%91%D7%99%D7%A2_%D7%92_%D7%93%D7%A2%D7%94_117541.html

Which also explains some of the history where Shas is

It would be a long stretch to call Shas מפלגה החרדית ביותר (and even a greater stretch to do so for the United Right Wing). Accepting ministerial positions, especially in the Ministry of Religious Affairs, or at the Ministry of Interior, presents very serious Halachic problems.

As for Shleimus Ha'aretz (or Pikuach Nefesh), while it is true that Shas (and specifically Arye Deri) have an extremely tainted history, I think at this point they have learned their lesson. (Though I would think Deri learned it better, as he has personally suffered, whereas Gafni (and Litzman) never saw real personal consequences for their support of Gaza withdrawal.

Oh stop being so sensitive. If it's true that y'all vote for mizrachi then that's all he said.

And please stop saying rediculous things like Shas and ג not being the most charedi. They clearly and obviously are. Duh.

Even the article you linked doesn't claim that.

The aurgument is that not having extreme right ring views is pikuach nefesh so you can vote for mizrachi. Ok, obviously this is not something 90% of the frum world agreed with but I guess you are entitled.

You are also not entitled to pull out your " sinas chinam" card when it is you who separate from the rest of the frum world for elections..

When clicking analytics>operations>residential you should run a rent roll with lease charges and put in the property, date, & post month that you want to get the rent roll for

This was working for me

Ok thanks. So if a partner tells us they can't run a backdated rent roll because Yardi doesn't make it possible, is that hogwash? Or are there possibly versions of Yardi that don't have this feature?

Anyone use Yardi?

Can you confirm that it is not possible to run a backdated rent roll?
