Re: Is this story true?
I really feel bad to bring this up but I feel it's necessary being that I'm related to a young bochur who died of hunger in a Lubavitch yeshiva during WW2 which was right next to one of Aharon Kotler's yeshivas which at the time had a surplus of food. However the yeshiva was instructed by Aharon Kotler not to provide any food to the starving Lubavitch bochurim in the neighboring yeshiva. In fact some of the bochurim in Aharon Kotler's yeshiva took pity and broke the rules by sneaking a bag of rice to the Lubavitch bochurim. Several Lubavitch bochurim died of hunger when the supply stopped. Where did you pick up all that $%*&? Not only are you spreading Motzei Shem Ra, you are stomping on the grave of the Gadol Hador responsible for the revitalization of Torah in America and the PREEMINENT fundraiser for the Vaad during the war September 05, 2011, 07:10:47 AM |

SHAME ON YOU!!!! Some of the things that Rav Aharon was most famous for was his active work in saving jews in WW2. There are many stories of how he dropped everything, and went door to door (even on Shabbos when an emergency Pikuach Nefesh situation came up) fundraising to help save Yidden from the holocaust! He used to go to Washington D.C. to Plead with the President and Senators to help stop what was going on in the concentration camps! I'm not going to go in to his Gadlus Batorah now, but even just on the Chesed aspect and caring for and helping every jew that he came in contact with, I wonder who made up those fake stories that you wrote!!

Re: Best way to hit the spending limits in first 3 months?
You guys are brutal.Who's being brutal? I'm usually very helpful when people come and ask for help. What I don't like is when someone says that they don't want to put in any time or effort into reading anything, they just want everything handed to them from the people who have spent many countless hours putting in the time it takes to learn these things. On top of that, he has to come out and insult me, make assumptions about me and assume that he's better than me and deserves to be fed information because "he's not in yeshiva" and doesn't have time for this.

Yammers trip to Yellowstone-Great Tetons-SLC ( Mr.,Mrs. & Tiny Tot (TT))
So here we go. My real vacation planning started when I confirmed with a relative that will move in for the week (Sunday-Friday) to babysit the pack. Once that was confirmed we went ahead with what we've been thinking about for a while. Where to go with Tiny Tot (TT)? After going through the options, we settled on Yellowstone/Teton. It seemed like a good option with a baby. 1. Would travel at our own pace. 2. Would have a car and would be able to attend to TT needs 3. Relatively short flight (TT..) 4. Would have full days based on the availabile flights So after searching airports we immediately saw that we had an issue. While there was a direct flight EWR-BZN on the return the only direct flight was from SLC. That would be a solid 5hr trip from the Grand Tetons. On the other hand traveling with TT with a stop was a recipe for disaster. With that in mind we started the search for Tickets. There was only 1 direct flight into BZN. UA. And of course there was no Saver awards available. So we kept checking and 4 weeks ago ( no $75 charge ) we found availablity. But for the way back there was no availablity with UA. There was with DL but that was going to JFK and would complicate parking my car at the airport. I checked the seat availablity on DL and it seemed pretty safe to wait. So we rebooked the UA EWR to BZN every day( hoping that we wouldn't run into an Issue with Shabbos) and lo and behold on Friday availability opened up on SLC-EWR and we had our flights booked. Prices on hotels were crazy. In west Yellowstone ( our destination choice ) The Holiday Inn was $399 a night ( No IHG availablity ) Days Inn $289 etc. They were the only ones with point availability. We ended up booking the Days Inn with Whydahm points, which was the same price for the king's suite @15k per night. We then booked in Jackson ( in the Grand Tetons ) for 35k Marriott the brand new Springhill suits ( opened on May 15 ) and left the SLC to worry about later. Then came the car rental. I've been dealing with car rentals for a long time so this was really a shocker. Avis,Budget & Enterprise didn't allow any one way reservations at all. With National I hit a road block. I burned though the entire list ( that didn't have built-in LDW) nothing did anything for unlimited miles. Even Honeywell came with just 700 miles included. I would need close to 2000 miles ( @.4 per mile..) Hertz the same thing. ( Btw no executive or President isle at either...) After wasting waaay too much time I booked with risk ( after being warned by some DDFers ) hoping for the best for $250. On the Friday before the trip thrifty went down to $300 so I booked that for backup which relaxed the situation. Got some tips about Yellowstone from @somethingsfishy and @whyme at a little DO I had my trip planned. And so we we were finnaly ready to go. To recap 7/16 EWR-BZN 8:48AM arriving 11:33AM 7/16-7/18 Days Inn West Yellowstone 7/18-7/19 Springhill suits Jackson 7/19-7/20 Newpark Park City ( near SLC) 7/21 SLC-EWR 11:37PM arriving 5:51AM To be continued July 28, 2017, 01:21:47 PM |

Re: Prison
I think to deal with the possibility of it happening and the letdown every time he thought it would or could happen, and didnt, would have been such a drain on his psyche that he probably blocked those thoughts over time. (i.e. every time an appeal was filed and a decision was pending by any of the appellate courts or at the end of Obama's term) Even if he knew he wouldnt give the possibility any real credence until it actually happened.Even if SMR himself would start posting here, we all appreciate your unique perspective on what happened to you.

Re: US Politics/2016 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread
Just double talk like you do most of the time. He has the authority to investigate crimes that the evidence leads him to. IMHO collusion is at the bottom of the list.That is exactly the problem. He was hired to investigate collusion but now is investigating anything and everything Trump (and yes he has the legal authority to do that) and needs to come up with something to show for himself. That sounds very Hooveresque. The similarities between them are coming out more and more. January 17, 2018, 11:15:08 AM |

Re: US Politics/2016 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread
There’s another reason the media are labeling Trump himself racist: This alleviates the requirement to honestly assess his actions and statements. Rather than analyzing whether a given statement is racist, or whether it could be interpreted otherwise, the media simply use Trump’s alleged racism as a skeleton key answering every question. Trump says he wants immigration restrictions? It must be racism. He slams radical Islamic terrorism? Racism. He condemns violence in inner cities? Racism. Each of those statements could more plausibly be read as non-racist, but the charge of racism papers over all shoddy analysis. Read more at: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/455467/media-call-trump-racist-what-end There are some very good points there that some here would do well to internalize.

Re: US Politics/2016 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread
We actually agree on this one. He needs to be called out when he doesn't something stupid and wrong. It doesn't have to because the media obsession for the entire week, but yes he should be called out.Of course, but that is a separate discussion from the one about the policy. Just saying that he is racist and therefore we shouldn't deal with MS13 is stupidity.(yes some in the media did that) January 17, 2018, 04:25:48 PM |

We will stop funding other governments when we cant fund our own. We will pull out of all trade agreements which hurt us so much. Of course other countries don't like this.

Re: Prison
Im kind of lost where I left off. So here are some highlights and I'll go away. I had my talis and tefillin so I was able to help a Russian fellow dorm mate put on tefillin a few times. A Jewish kid from another dorm stiffed one of my african american dorm mates out of some basic commissary items. He was released a few days after he pulled this stunt. I made good by having money put on his books. Ibran into that kid on the day i went back to pick up my vouchered items after I was released. He laughed it off. The kid could have caused some innocent jew some serious problems, but he didnt seem to care. There were moments of kindness from, an inmate asking for my help and in return offering to get me a haircut as he ran the barber shop, to getting an entire roll of toilet paper in exchange for my shabbos telephone time, to plain assistance from a muslim inmate who had been a personal trainer when I woke up with a terrible leg cramp. The flip side was the scary moment when I was asked what I was looking at when I was just spacing out amd when I shared a chicken wing with an inmate who I thought wanted it and then said..."dont put food on my plate". Being offered cigarettes and weed were par for the course. Thankfully I had quit smoking before I went in and never did drugs. Some of the inmates were very talented. I had one draw, on cut pieces of bed sheet, Mickey and Minnie mouse drawings with messages to my little kids. I sent them home in the mail and still have one. I paid for these drawings in stamps. Visits were hell for my family and anyone else who came to visit. Theyw ere degraded and harrassed. I was strip searched after every visit. It became so routine that I asked the guard who was always there if he was enjoying himself. There were so many more experiences but I'm kind of tired out and feel it would only be cumulative. Plenty have gotten the picture. It's a sick place and it leaves a mark. Yeah, accepting that people chop up their dead relatives as normal maybe is a lasting effect. (For all of the abuse I've gotten over that, just remember, when you tell me "You're crazy" my default response is "Thank you. I know. Tell me something I dont know.") The best part is, i no longer live in my past. I have a huge opportunity to grow, move forward and give back to those less fortunate than I and I'm eternally grateful for that. Before long I should have my law license back and my ability to do good with that will only grow. January 21, 2018, 01:41:35 PM |
