You don't give someone the option to use a CC when your main point is don't use CC's. You don't see the issue there?

Do credit processors give the option to accept debit cards but not credit cards? Or is it the same system?

You choose what you want to accept.

The End Game was worth watching.

The reason he accepted CC's is because he is in it for the money. It is that simple.

Of course he's in it because of the money. Does that mean that his message is wrong?

Sorry, I thought my few snake oil salesman comments made it clear what I thought of him.

Other than the vorts, these rules are the standard in Lakewood.

Does the Lakewood community strictly follow these (attached) guidelines at Chasunah's too?

1-3 is not really. So many "Jewish" songs are ripped off from the Goyim and they use Goyishe intros all the time. I actually can't stand the music at almost all weddings and go in and out because of it.

I am going by my experience, but not usually there for the intro. I agree about the music in general.

A new initiative has gotten off the ground. Its hard to know if it will last, but its nice to see so many people have signed up!

https://simchainitiative.org/

Below are stats for participation in simchaintiatives.com by city . . It's interesting though I'm not sure you can definitively draw any conclusions from the data.

(this covers about 90% of the ~1250 who signed up. I used an excel macro so it excludes entries with spelling errors and locations with few participants etc).

Seems to me that other than queens this correlates very closely to population

Eta once you combine queens and Kew gardens it fits into place as well.

I didn't calculate exact numbers, just a parsing.

Why is kew gardens separate from queens?

And they have 12 while the rest of queens only has 7?!

This week the mishpacha has an ad for simchainitiatives.com including endorsements from several BMG (Lakewood) Roshei Yeshiva (as well as R’ Asher Arielly)

Does that mean the Lakewood community will likely follow this?

Questionable wether that was an endorsement. The letter was nowhere near a recommendation for the guidelines that this “initiative” is proposing.
