Hey they got to the postseason something the Giants haven’t done in a while
Also belichick is still coach as opposed to coughlin
and who says cheaters never prosper?
I WATCH THE SUPER BOWL. SOMETIMES IM AT A PARTY AND I WATCH IT. WITH OTHER PEOPLE. GO BRONCOES.
And your not even embarrassed to call yourself Jewboy. And open a username just to say that.
did you ever watch a superbowl
the superbowl is awesome. and the halftime show is good too.
Sam2 -“Chukas Akum we can talk about.”
I don’t have a problem watching a game, but this party business is Assur! These guys & some gals are saying – Shucks, I was born a Yid, instead of a Goy.
Health: What’s Assur about having a party?

It’s Chukas Akum to have a Superbowl party!
Its very important to learn yom v Lelaih, however one must also be careful not to suffer from burnout (I have unfortunalty seen this happen).
Taking a break from learning in order to recharge your batteries is a healthy idea and closing a gemorah in order to learn mussor is not a “break”
One should see alternatives to allow one to recharge and take a break with things that are kosher or pareve (Fully kosher activities might not be available so Pareve ones are good too)
Health, the whole concept of voting is chukas akum.
Probaly the whole idea of democracy and freely choosing your leaders is Chukas HaGoyim.
zahavasdad,

Kosher or pareve? Huh?
It’s Chukas Akum to have a Superbowl party!
Why is a Superbowl party chukas akum, but wearing a necktie isn’t?

Kosher or pareve? Huh?
I know what I wrote and I meant there are things that are totally kosher and things that arent kosher and arent treif.
Going with your kids to the park is Kosher and seeing a sporting event is Pareve. Im not sure if you get the difference. Its not always possible to do a totally kosher event like going to the park , so if its not possible to a pareve thing. I meant Pareve here as more Neutral than anything else
LC -“Health, the whole concept of voting is chukas akum”
So don’t vote! What’s your point?
zahavasdad,
I meant there are things that are totally kosher and things that arent kosher and arent treif.
I know that’s what you meant, and that is what made me go “huh”? How can something be not kosher, but not treif (i.e., forbidden)?
Going with your kids to the park is Kosher and seeing a sporting event is Pareve. Im not sure if you get the difference.
No, I don’t get the difference. Why is going to a park “kosher”, but going to a sporting event “not kosher”?
Its not always possible to do a totally kosher event like going to the park
Why not?
Wolf -“Why is a Superbowl party chukas akum, but wearing a necktie isn’t?”
If you hold wearing a tie is Chukas Akum – so don’t wear one!
For example the park, there are alot of reasons one cannot go to the park
It might be dark or raining outside or untzniut women there (Common in Central park in the summer)
Rav Avigdor Miller forbid going to sporting events, I think because of Chukas HaGoyim (I could be wrong on his reason )
Health,
If you hold wearing a tie is Chukas Akum – so don’t wear one!
But do we then get to look down on everyone else in shul who wears one?
Avram -“But do we then get to look down on everyone else in shul who wears one?”
I wear one, so you have to post to Wolf.
ZD -“Rav Avigdor Miller forbid going to sporting events, I think because of Chukas HaGoyim “
My original post was against parties, not about watching or going to games!
So, dont call it a superbowl party. Call it thursday night chulent on sunday night.
So, dont call it a superbowl party. Call it thursday night chulent on sunday night.
I saw one place advertising it as a “Rosh Chodesh Adar Party”
That’s takkeh interesting, zdad.
Having very little knowledge of or interest in the superbowl, I stayed out of the discussion and felt I had not much of an opinion for or against.
But I find referencing Rosh Chodesh, our first precious Mitzvah as a nation, in relation to this subject, deeply offensive.
There are occasions when we elevate chol into Kodesh, but this seems very very far from that concept.
