You can always have a child who's cuter, smarter, or more talented than your own. Would you give your child up for adoption and go looking for a better one?
Of course not. Because this child is YOURS.
That's the point of marriage. Of course there are men out there who are richer, smarter, stronger, and more handsome than your husband. And of course there are women out there who are prettier, smarter, kinder, or more charming than your wife.
But this one is YOURS.
When you marry someone, you're not choosing the best available option on the market; you're making them your own flesh and blood. Irreplaceable.
Damn. You need to watch this.

I don't care, because, unlike Chuck, I have no money to make or political points to score off antisemitism.
This disgusting, antisemitic language from Donald Trump must have no place in our country, especially from the President of the United States.
While unsurprising from a President who spews hatred on the daily, it must be universally condemned by those who want to root out antisemitism and bigotry in all its forms.
Purple zionist is seething that the Satmar Rebbe cares for his people more than a foreign country.
So the Satmars are endorsing the wretched @GovKathyHochul! Sheโs running against a proud Pro Israel Jew in my friend @NassauExec! This is why Rabbi Teitelbaum and phony @RabbiIndigNY never should have been invited to the White House! @LauraLoomer and I did all we could to stop it but the President was duped! That community back stabs good Jews everyday and is a threat to the future of New York. Crappy Jews!
"I may disagree with @AngieNixon on the mass murder of babies, communism, and the importing of a billion africans, indians, and muslims into America, but hey, we're both afraid of big machine building and money for JOOZ."
The only time Iโve seen turnout like this in Florida was a Trump rally.
I have many disagreements with @AngieNixon (immigration, abortion, Medicare for All), but her opposition to data centers, private equity buying homes, and taxpayer money to Israel is popular and sound.
Zionist: โItโs like Nazi Germany in 1938 for Jews in America! The only way to survive is to make aliyah!โ
Israeli Jew: โItโs like Nazi Germany here in Israel. We have to hide, afraid to go in or out for fear of being arrested.โ
Zionist: โHOW DARE YOU?! Thatโs literally Holocaust denial! Youโre trivializing the unimaginable atrocities of the Nazis! And LOL, look at this guy comparing himself to Holocaust victims while sitting there with pastries in front of him!โ
People hate Jews? It must be 1938 all over again.
Because never in history have people hated Jews except for that one year.
If youโre an Orthodox Jew and still believe antisemitism is โjust about Israelโ and that somehow youโll be spared, even after witnessing the absolute hysteria over the Lakefront community in Florida, youโre an absolute moron living in denial.
These are Hasidic Jews trying to build an affordable community, raise their families, and live according to their traditions. No Israel, no Gaza, no foreign policy. Just Jews wanting to live among other Jews.
And apparently, even that is enough to send thousands of people into an antisemitic frenzy.
The warning signs are everywhere. If youโre still convincing yourself that the hatred will stop at Jews you disagree with, youโve buried your head so deep in the sand that you can no longer see whatโs happening around you.
Itโs 1938 Germany for American Jews. Call it clichรฉd, call it dramatic. Iโd rather be accused of exaggerating the warning signs than of being too blind to recognize them.
I'm not sure what you mean by "in the national regard," but Jews are certainly a distinct people, regardless of where they live.
In Mitzrayim, we weren't Egyptians. ืืืื ืฉื ืืืื. We were a ืืื ืืงืจื ืืื.
In Persia, we weren't Persians. We were an ืขื ืืื ืืคืืืจ ืืืคืืจื ืืื ืืขืืื.
That's the entire point of Golus. We are a diaspora nation, a people in exile, dispersed among other nations while retaining our distinct peoplehood. Not an assimilated minority whose only distinguishing characteristic is a different faith.
This doesn't mean that Jews cannot also have an American civic identity, but that identity doesn't negate our Jewish peoplehood.
A 96-year-old gadol baTorah who has spent his entire life dedicated to Hashem and the Torah says that Torah and pikuach nefesh come before juvenile nationalist fantasies, and this arrogant, bloodthirsty warmonger Smotrich, who is prepared to sacrifice thousands of Jewish lives on the altar of his militant Zionist idol, has the chutzpah to lecture Rav Landau about teshuvah.
Absolutely grotesque. ๐คฎ
Sorry, Smotrich, but the Torah stands above your childish obsession with your barely functional pariah state, its delusions of grandeur, and its fantasies of power.
Maybe it's time this Idolatrous Zionist finally converts to Judaism?
In a shocking attack on HaGaon HaRav Dov Landau, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich mocked him, saying, โI pray that he does teshuvah.โ
Smotrich went further, declaring, โI suggest Rav Landau and Lieberman hold a competition. One wants the Jordanian Legion and the other wants the British, so let them take turns.โ

I think you're totally misreading the situation. It has nothing to do with extremism and everything to do with opportunity.
I mean, look at American Charedim and Israeli Charedim in the years following the establishment of Israel. We're talking about essentially the same Litvish and Chassidish communities, yet their economic trajectories began to diverge almostg intantly.
In America, Charedi men went to work and built businesses while their counterparts in Israel faced institutional barriers. I don't think you can explain that simply by claiming that Israeli Charedim somehow became dramatically more extreme than their American counterparts within five years.
The reality is that the two communities developed in fundamentally different institutional environments. The problem in Israel is that one side controls all the institutions that create economic opportunity. And those institutions are shaped by an ideology that seeks to remake the other side in its own image. (like you correctly identified in Eylon's tweet)
The result is a system in which a Charedi who wants to preserve his beliefs faces enormous obstacles to achieving economic independence.
And I'm not talking about Charedim who decided they wanted to dedicate their entire lives to learning rather than working. I'm talking about Charedim who genuinely wanted to work and provide for their families, but face enormous barriers to entering the mainstream economy without compromising their beliefs.
for example, under the deferment system, any yeshiva Bochur who wanted to avoid conscription was required to remain in full-time learning and was prohibited from working. Think about what that meant. A Charedi man who wanted to support his family couldn't leave yeshiva and enter the workforce without risking his military deferment. The system effectively forced him to choose between remaining economically dependent and conscription. And then people turn around and blame Charedim for not working...
Point is you can't create a system that makes economic independence difficult for people who refuse to conform to your ideological expectations, and then turn around and blame those people for being economically dependent.
People are waking up to the fact that it "was never entirely about contributing to society. The real issue is that these people are religious, proud of their beliefs, and unwilling to abandon their identity just to earn your approval."
Iโve been very critical of the Chareidi community in Israel, but here you have an example of the other side of the coin.
You have a new movement of Chareidim who want to contribute, work, and participate fully in Israeli society, yet somehow theyโre still not good enough for parts of the secular left.
So what exactly do you expect of them? That they become secular? Because thatโs an unacceptable demand, one you wouldnโt dare make in any other Western democracy.
As long as youโre asking them to work, contribute to society, and serve in some capacity in the IDF, you have a legitimate argument.
But once even that isnโt enough, and you expect them to become just like you, maybe youโre the one with the problem.
Maybe this was never entirely about contributing to society. Maybe, for some, the real issue is that these people are religious, proud of their beliefs, and unwilling to abandon their identity just to earn your approval.
