Maybe they are greek orthodox or russian orthodox, & hence we are within 2 days of their idolatry holiday of the greek & russian xmas.

But penultimately, forward all your questions to the Institute of Business & Halocho, which is the only forum to handle such matters, and as a matter of courtesy, let the coffee room know what they Paskan for you?

I’ll answer your question hellothisisme with a question:- Is 78 days defined as a small amount of time? or a massive amount of time?

You can rent apartments in Yerusholayim, including Meah Sheorim & Geuloh, as I have done in the past. Quite a bit cheaper than an hotel. Visit the Kotel Tunnel tour:- Must be reserved in Advance. Needless to say, this tour can be had in English.

Being right after Tu b’Shevat no-doubt you shall also wish to plant a tree.

YWN just this past week carried story of a lady who passed away @124 years with 10 children who all outlived her.

<e>Rabbi Yaakov Weinberg points out that these two particular mitzvos, honoring ones parents and sending away the mother bird, are rewarded with long life.

He as well as most other Meforshim forgot to comment on the 3rd Mitzwah whose observance also carried Arichas Yomim, that of just weights, which come in same Sidra of Ki-Setzei as does Shiluach haKein.

Can someone explain why this 3rd Mitzwah is not also mentioned in conjunction with Arichas Yomim when discussing Shiluach haKein verses Kibud Ov v’Eim?

Read a Chinese Gemoro, and let me know if the Chinese Government derived their laws from the Gemoro? If so:- from which Messechto & which Daf? or if Yerushlami:- Which Perek & which Halocho?

Both baby naming’s I wrote about were from Ashkanazi families. Can a baby from an Ashkanazi family be named from a living grandparent? Also can an Ashkanazi family name their daughter after the mother?

Dutch Ashkenazim families absolutely & most definitely name after living grandparents, and this is a Huge Honor, both for the grandparent & the new child.

As far as naming a daughter after the grandmother:- Generally this is one of the few spheres where the wife retains her own family Minhag & not her husband’s, so that if her Minhog was to name after a living grandparent, then even if her husband’s Minhog is otherwise, her children should name their daughter after her during her lifetime. Conversely, if her Minhog is not to name after a living grandparent even though her husband’s Minhog is to name after a living grandparent, then her children should not name their daughter after her during her lifetime.

Naming after a living parent as opposed to after a living grandparent, no-one {other than Royal families & Nochrim} do so.

was niftar erev Pesach and the kevura was on the first day of Chol haMoed.

Hard to comprehend, because unlike case of Nechomah’s father’s passing away overlapping a Shabbos when Kevuraos are Ossur, yet despite the unfortunate timing of passing away of Nechomah’s mother, Kevuros are Mutor on Yom Tov, and even is preferable to delaying funeral just to increase the turn out. So why would this funeral have been pushed off for 3 days?

well now all u got to do is enjoy ur sleep … & tax deduction …. while it lasts

Even if this expired individual had prayed early Maariv for Leil Tammuz 4th on afternoon of Tammuz 3rd, or had lit Shabbos candles & recited Kidddush on afternoon of Tammuz 3td for Tammuz 4th {not that this is feasible, since Tammuz 4th can never be on a Shabbos} and then expired before sundown, his/her Johrzeit is on Tammuz 3rd.

If the person expired between sundown and emergence of 3 stars, approximately 38 minutes after sundown in the NYC area, this is way beyond the scope of this coffee Chat Room to determine if Johrzeit is on the outgoing or the incoming date. Check with the Rov of the deceased parent, so that entire family will end up holding the same Johrzeit.

but you need a prescription for it

A lot of these medicines can be procured on internet sites of people in places like Japan & Mexico without a prescription, and cheaper.

Never go to bed right after eating.

Fortunately, despite the late hour of eating on Seder nite, but Matzo & Moror & Radishes [Karpas} have no acid, so don’t irritate your stomach. Unlike grape juice, even wine does not irritate your stomach, as the alcohol kills the acid in grape juice which is nothing more than fruit juice.

However Kosher food is hard to get,

But getting working knowledge of the Spanish language, or finding people who can converse in English is even harder to get.

The Metro in Madrid is very good, if you care to get around with the Metro. I have been on the Madrid Metro.

Bear in mind that all shuls are absolutely Sephardi:- After all Spain which in Hebrew is “S’farad” as per Haftoro of vaYishlach, is the absolute bastion of Sephardim.

The Johrzeit is positively & absolutely only held on the date of the location where the person expired:- i.e. in your case [or example?] on Tammuz 3rd.

However, if the relative in question heard about this tragic loss and is not traveling to the interment, so would effectively commence laws of Shiva immediately, s/he would count the 7 & 30 days from his/her date of Tammuz 2nd or 4th respectively.

If this relative then requires to fly across the Jewish date line during the Shiva, s/he would still observe his/her 7 days, even though this would if going from Far East to Far West would then be on his/her 6th Hebrew calendar date, or if going from Far West to Far East would then be on his/her 8th Hebrew calendar date.

B’H we Jewish people juggle around #’s with issues such as the intricacies of the Jewish calendar [which indeed does have a special section each & every week in the Yated] but don’t waste our time nor talents on the position of a ball or people cheering the # of times this ball touches or moves on a field or across some painted line.

maybe he has family there

If so:- They would know of the local hotels or people hiring out rooms, in their vicinity.

Why don’t you go to a beach on the West Coast by the Mediterranean? and patronize the Israeli economy like a good loyal & faithful Jew.

One of the speakers at the Agudah convention this evening was mentioning several of the bad “isms” such as communism and Bundism amongst others. But then he went onto say:- I shall now mention the worst “ism” so I was expecting something like nazism to have this infamous distinction, but I was shocked to the core by his Leitzonos:- He said “Zionism” was the worst ism.

Clearly this is Letzonus breading Sinas Chinom.

While we are on the subject of the Ch’Sofer, can someone please explain to me why many of his generations today, dont follow his derech re-gebrokst on Pesach?

The quality of baking the Maztos is far superior to what it probably was in the past and the incidence of unbaked flour is far remoter, so the reason necessitating a ban on gebrokt is far less necessary & called for.

If everyone had only a single name, it would get awfully confusing.

Are you shmendrick saying that 600 male names in Tenach is not sufficient choice of names to avoid confusion?

B’H I have 1 Hebrew name, and B’H my Dad has 1 Hebrew name, so it is so much easier when I receive an Aliya, to simply give the Gabbai 1 name for myself & 1 name for my Dad.

If someone does have a double or more names, I had a Pesack from Rav Melech Shachter ZT’L, that one ought to utilize all that person’s names, each time once calls or refers to or addresses that person. But he also said in no uncertain terms, how absolutely preferable it is to give a single name only.

My having 1 Hebrew name & my Dad having 1 Hebrew name, I have several times been called upon to be an “Eid” to sign Kesuvoh & Get, because the Mesader Kiddushin & Mesader Get did not wish to get involved with complex multi-names.

Any loyal authentic Jew who has had to endure the screaming of [a] Naturei Karta demonstrator at a legitimate Jewish gathering, by definition also carries scars of abuse, for having his Jewish faith & believe come under attack.

B’H it isn’t Triple “H”:- Hot Hazy Humid.

To quote Rav Avigdor Miller ZT’L:- Always see the good in every situation.

What Yidden do on December 25th?

Last year and in 2016 & in 2019 I observe Chanukah, and recite full Hallel in praise of the wonderful day, as I do on Yom ha’Atzmaut & on Yom Yerusholayim.

In 2001 & in 2020 I observe Assoro b’Teves, and mourn the Johrzeit of Charly Chaplin who was Niftar on December 25, 1977.

If I would set foot on my place of employment after 5.30PM on a workday, or on a weekend or legal holiday, I would be prosecuted for trespass, so are you yosefc18 suggesting that notwithstanding I should go to work on this holiday to show my disdain for this fellow born in Beth Lechem, even though I shall be brought up on charges for trespassing?

You snjn are so lucky to effectively be having a free trip to the Netherlands. Grab it, and don’t reject it.
