To bring this thread back on topic...

https://www.ou.org/life/inspiration/its-not-your-concern/

When someone is a celebrity (by choice), it is very important that we not justify their actions.
We are in a world that everything is viral. It has a huge impact on ppl and defiantly young people, struggling where to draw the line.
How many children will say she's frum and goes in a car and dress that way, it's fine.
I think but not sure that on the modern orthodox youngsters this can have a huge impact.

True but sad!

I'm with JTZ.
Bean-free cholent FTW.

+1
It has barley and 3 strips of flanken. Delicious!

Maybe the recipe is like Trump's rhetoric - don't take it literally. The ketchup is just pandering to her base, what she's serious about is meat and potatoes.

The recipe is from her mother-in-law. I'm sure that she's made several adjustments in recent years.

The OU article makes a good point about Koufax. Though to be fair he didn't claim to be Orthodox.

A bigger deal than both of those is adding water and turning it to low in the morning but,

So
I didn't notice the turning it lower...

You can add hot water from the urn if you have a blech.

I always felt that Koufax made both a kiddush Hashem and a chillul Hashem.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

check out your yichus if you can't tolerate authentic cholent  ;)
Repost!

Is it very un-jewish of me that I just don't like cholent? I have had dozens of chulents in my life and I can count the ones I actually enjoyed on one hand. (well that felt good to get off my chest)

FTR if I knew that the Trumps only eat bean free cholent it would have made my voting decisions much easier.

Nebach
And just to bring the point home, that blog is written by a former pulpit Rabbi of a major YI in NY. It's being published as an article this week in the QJL. I think it's extremely important to speak out against that point of you. Not to say that she's not Jewish, or that the Kushners are terrible Orthodox Jews, etc., but to stress the point that these people shouldn't be held up as role models for Torah Jews.

Every time he pitched on Shabbos, CH. When he didn't on YK, KH.

I think any time a Yid does a public aveirah, it's a CH, and a public mitzvah, a KH.
