aussie: if you play for money it does!
April 12, 2009 9:47 am at 9:47 am #1080113aussieboyParticipantmoish: My dad is fast asleep right now.
April 12, 2009 9:54 am at 9:54 am #1080115aussieboyParticipantJax: I was asking because it is (although most people wont believe it) a game of mostly skill and not luck.
Is the stock market be considered gambling?
April 12, 2009 9:56 am at 9:56 am #1080116JaxMemberaussie: yeah of skill not just pure luck!
April 12, 2009 9:56 am at 9:56 am #1080117moish01Memberwell stay up a little longer i’m sure he’ll be up soon.
April 12, 2009 10:00 am at 10:00 am #1080118JaxMemberaussie: a different kind of gambling with the stock market!
April 12, 2009 10:02 am at 10:02 am #1080119aussieboyParticipantJax: Why is it allowed?
April 12, 2009 10:02 am at 10:02 am #1080120moish01Memberaussie, good question. everyone has stocks, though and they don’t all gamble. it’s more like a business risk, i think. is buying a house and flipping it gambling? i doubt it?
April 12, 2009 10:10 am at 10:10 am #1080121aussieboyParticipantBut there are risks involved. Why cant we say that a poker game is skill with some risks involved? What makes it different from the stock market?
moish: Do you play poker? If you do you will know what I mean about it not being a game of chance, but of skill.
April 12, 2009 10:14 am at 10:14 am #1080122moish01Memberi don’t play so i can’t really say. but you gotta draw the line somewhere, right?
April 12, 2009 3:13 pm at 3:13 pm #1080123circusgirlMemberjax: Thanks for the encoruagement. Hopefully it will work out someday.
April 12, 2009 4:08 pm at 4:08 pm #1080124anonymisssParticipantaussie, I could hear that poker is a skill, though there’s definitely a risk or gamble involved.

April 12, 2009 6:02 pm at 6:02 pm #1080125an open bookParticipantaussie: why don’t you want poker to be gambling?
April 12, 2009 6:08 pm at 6:08 pm #1080126an open bookParticipantthe answer i got to moish’s question was that the point isn’t that you didn’t know the answer before & now you’re learning it for the first time. but that asking & then answering is the way we talk about it. i think like when someone tells a dvar torah, they ask a question & then answer it, it’s a way of making a point.
about echad mi yodea, i get all the others but what does 9 have to do with anything?
April 12, 2009 8:56 pm at 8:56 pm #1080127moish01Member9 months before a baby is born? why not? if anything you could do away with #11. that’s got nothing to do – especially because the 12 shvotim are next.
April 12, 2009 10:58 pm at 10:58 pm #1080128aussieboyParticipantAOB: I like playing poker
April 13, 2009 12:09 am at 12:09 am #1080129an open bookParticipantwell what is the song supposed to be a list of in the first place?? & 9 months isn’t even a jewish basic, like you were saying. It’s just a fact for anyone.
Yeah i see what you’re saying. 11 is kinda weird too.
April 13, 2009 2:14 am at 2:14 am #1080130moish01Memberwhat do you mean? the neshama is learning torah 😉
April 13, 2009 3:18 am at 3:18 am #1080131an open bookParticipantaussie: k me too, but what’s the issue with gambling? why do you care if it is or not?
April 13, 2009 9:16 am at 9:16 am #1080132aussieboyParticipantAOB: I dont really, but according to the torah your not allowed to gamble so if I am doing something wrong I like knowing about it.
April 13, 2009 5:24 pm at 5:24 pm #1080133an open bookParticipantmoish: very funny
aussie: where did you get that?
April 13, 2009 5:57 pm at 5:57 pm #1080134areivimzehlazehParticipantmoish- I was about to ask your ma nishtana question a few times, and caught myself each time. Why? I was scared one of the people sitting at the table is a member of the CR!!! hahahahaha- t’would never do to blow my identity wide open, now would it
April 13, 2009 6:53 pm at 6:53 pm #1080135moish01Memberyou’re kidding! well anyway, we got a few answers to go around.
April 13, 2009 7:05 pm at 7:05 pm #1080136aussieboyParticipantAOB: I dont know where it says it.
areivimzehlazeh: I just said I saw someone wrote it onthe cr I didnt say i post on it.
April 13, 2009 7:51 pm at 7:51 pm #1080137areivimzehlazehParticipantmoish- which part shocks you more: the fact that i was scared or the fact that I was able to hold myself back? 😉
April 13, 2009 8:18 pm at 8:18 pm #1080138an open bookParticipantaussie: i haven’t heard of that before & i’d find out the real story before i assume i can’t do something.
i didn’t even mention the cr, just asked the question & mentioned i saw it somewhere
April 14, 2009 5:48 am at 5:48 am #1080139aussieboyParticipantAOB: Im pretty sure your not allowed to gamble. Anyone else know where it says it?
April 14, 2009 4:37 pm at 4:37 pm #1080140an open bookParticipantaussie: im gonna try & find out but it’s kinda weird to just go to my father & ask out of the blue “are you allowed to gamble?” he’s definitely gonna ask why i’m asking & i then get left with nothing to say…
April 14, 2009 10:41 pm at 10:41 pm #1080141aussieboyParticipantYou can just say a freind said it.
April 17, 2009 4:55 am at 4:55 am #1080143an open bookParticipantaussie: no, i say that & he’ll for sure ask me who & try 2 figure it out, he’s like that. & i say aussieboy, i’m dead meat 😉
but i did try asking, it was too broad. he was like “what do you mean, gambling? can you do chinese auctions?”
so to find out you would need to ask more than “is gambling assur?”. but while i also want to know the details myself, i don’t think you should fully trust the halachic stuff on an anonymous forum like this, even if you think something here is true, find out from someone you know personally before going by it.
April 17, 2009 6:21 pm at 6:21 pm #1080144kapustaParticipantrandom question: does anyone have any good ideas (that they’ve tried, and know works) for cleaning jewelery (with chips) my rings mysteriously got hand cream on it, and the chips look a little duller…
April 19, 2009 3:31 am at 3:31 am #1080146mepalMemberkapusta: try brushing it with toothpaste.
April 19, 2009 5:54 am at 5:54 am #1080147April 19, 2009 7:51 am at 7:51 am #1080148JaxMemberkapusta: come on, your kidding which flavor to use, right?
April 19, 2009 8:19 am at 8:19 am #1080149kapustaParticipantJax, that was what the 😉 was for, instead of a jk. random question for you: do you have a sister who talks exactly like you? I know someone who sounds so much like you but it’s a girl!!!
April 19, 2009 8:22 am at 8:22 am #1080150JaxMemberkapusta: nope sorry!
April 19, 2009 8:43 am at 8:43 am #1080151JaxMemberkapusta: i gatta learn to read your sarcasim better!
April 19, 2009 8:46 am at 8:46 am #1080152kapustaParticipantJax, oh well. and it’s not you, it’s me, I think I’m a little too sarcastic….
April 19, 2009 11:59 pm at 11:59 pm #1080154an open bookParticipantanyone heard of the national society of high school scholars before?
April 20, 2009 8:52 pm at 8:52 pm #1080156coke not pepsiMembercan s/o help me – i already asked this in the Joseph thread….what is happening with him????
April 20, 2009 9:03 pm at 9:03 pm #1080157AnonymousInactiveCNP,
old Joe is going thru a midlife crisis. 🙂
April 21, 2009 6:10 am at 6:10 am #1080158JaxMemberRandom question: when posting on the news stories on the homepage, who here comes up as Anonymous in the comments section? the mods have said before that those who joined in the cr & not on the home page show up as Anonymous!
April 21, 2009 5:10 pm at 5:10 pm #1080159mepalMemberJax: me! Although I don’t usually post there; too busy in the CR!
April 21, 2009 6:02 pm at 6:02 pm #1080160aussieboyParticipantcoke not pepsi: Multiple personality 😉
April 21, 2009 10:07 pm at 10:07 pm #108016222OldGoldParticipantRandom question are you allowed to sign language even after you wash before hamotzi, or is this considered talking?
April 21, 2009 10:10 pm at 10:10 pm #1080163an open bookParticipant22oldgold: just wondering, is this a practical question or are you just curious?
April 21, 2009 10:42 pm at 10:42 pm #1080164April 21, 2009 10:49 pm at 10:49 pm #1080165an open bookParticipantkapusta: i don’t know the exact halacha, but i know it’s not so simple.
April 21, 2009 10:51 pm at 10:51 pm #1080166kapustaParticipant22OG, in that case, defer to AOB’s judgement, I’m not a rabbi and I dont plan on becoming one anytime soon.
April 21, 2009 11:00 pm at 11:00 pm #1080167an open bookParticipantme neither, BUT this came up recently (& someone was asked), so the most i know is it’s not a quick & easy answer.
22oldgold: did you mean for most people to do? or deaf people? is it used for actual communication (or just fun)?
i don’t recommend getting a final answer for anything here. it’s anonymous & you don’t know who is answering & where they’re coming from.
