2qwertyParticipant
Wolf,
Just like you are not allowed to make yourself bleed so are the goim. And any exception like going to a doctor also applies to both.
The fact that goim used to do blood letting doesn’t negate the fact that they are forbidden to do it according to our religion.
So, basically, he’s required to go around looking for a Jew to say “please kill me” to?
No, he doesn’t have any requirements, we do!
2qwertyParticipantfarrocks, because in America 30% of people are overweight and they obviously dont know what they should be eating.
2qwertyParticipantSince HKBH wants him dead anyway, is he allowed to fulfill God’s will by taking his own life?
No, he is still bound by 7 mitzvahs of bnei Noach. I think it’s wrong to say Hashem wants him dead because then Hashem would arrange for it right away. Rather, Hashem wants us to fulfill the mitzvah for whatever reason.
Does the sheva mitzvos against murder apply to suicide?
Yes, suicide and even making himself bleed is included in it.
was it a good thing that Haman was killed even though it was a non-Jew who did it?
Yes it was a good thing but no one got the mitzvah for it.
Amalek is engaged in a bloody war with Moab. Do we go to war with the Moabites to stop them from killing the Amalekites so we can do it ourselves, or do we let the Moabites try anyway and say that’s it’s not worth Jewish blood to save the Amalekites if others are willing to do the killing?
We should let them fight it out since we are commanded to get rid of them not necessary to kill them personally.
“Don’t deprive someone of opportunity to fulfill a Mitzwo Asseh deOrraisso.” A Jew may have that responsibility. I don’t believe a non-Jew has it.
Actually even a Jew doesnt have such a responsibility. If im buying the last esrog in front of you i will not be responsible to share it with you.
“If an Amaleki wants to fulfill Hashem’s will then he’s probably not an Amaleki.” That assumes that an Amaleki has no bechira, which, I believe, is false.
Obviously Amalek has a bechira. I think Sam wanted to say… if Amalek wants to do Hashems will and accepts 7 mitzvahs then we dont consider him as Amalek anymore and we dont have a mitzvah to kill him. I agree with Sam.
My favorite question is what do you do with a child whos mother is Jewish and father is an Amalek? (he is too young to accept the 7 mitzvahs)
2qwertyParticipantAny cereal is better than fatty chicken close to bed time
2qwertyParticipantThe cup isn’t half full or half empty it’s just twice bigger than it should be.
March 16, 2012 4:24 am at 4:24 am in reply to: commercial establishments serving Gluten-Free foods #8676912qwertyParticipantCheck out the restaurant on Ave I right outside of ShopRite parking lot in Brooklyn. They claim to cater to all kinds of special diets im just not sure about their hashgoha so i never ate there.
2qwertyParticipant“Chiyuv mideOrraisso this year for the 1st time in 14 years”
How is this year different from all the previous 14?
March 16, 2012 4:10 am at 4:10 am in reply to: Splitting Up Tehillim for for Harav Matisyahu Salomon, Shlita #10930732qwertyParticipantI think we should split up shifts to learn Torah on his behalf since everyone else stopped learning it and already plenty of people saying tehillim.
2qwertyParticipantJust say the brocha out loud even if she doesn’t get to hear it. I dont think texting or calling would make it any better.
2qwertyParticipantAs long as mohel doesn’t have HI and cleans his mouth with alcohol then why not let him continue doing our tradition.
2qwertyParticipantActually there is a segula to make sure all the seforim in the house are right side up.
2qwertyParticipantFind few other people like yourself and open a business.
2qwertyParticipantAnyone who promotes one and bashes the other shouldn’t be relied on.
2qwertyParticipantI almost always suppress the sound of my sneeze and just let the air out though my almost closed lips.
2qwertyParticipantIf she gets her way… should govt only approve certain type? Would govt be allowed to limit the frequency of use? Or can anyone just get it over the counter and resell it on ebay?
The logistics dont make sense and i think thats why he was taking a quick jab at her because the whole thing sounds like a joke.
2qwertyParticipantFew cheap places to consider:
cleanitsupply.com
walmart.com
costco.com
wayfair.com
mygofer.com
2qwertyParticipantmamashtakah,
I think even learning is forbidden during Chazaras HaShas. So how will it help to switch one for the the other? And what if someone is learning on his cell phone?
2qwertyParticipantAs long as you have traffic you can make money from it. Maybe get targeted ads from advertisers who want to target teachers.
2qwertyParticipantCoffee addict,
Rashi says tzadik ben tzadik but doesn’t explain why that’s better. According to one expansion that I saw is that by giving a child to Yitzhak Hashem was giving a grandson to Avrohom. So it was because of both of their merits not just because Yitzhak was greater than Rivkah.
2qwertyParticipantActually it’s a qwerty layout but im using new version of swype and it has text predict option.
Luckily it remembers mistakes and learns from it.
2qwertyParticipantI meant to say to kosher capsules (typing on a cell).
2qwertyParticipantIf you have a chance go to a Jewish pharmacy and they can transfer the medicine to Lasher capsules. Or speak to your LOR about it because it’s really different for every case.
2qwertyParticipantGoq, in this case i totally agree with you. I knew you would speak up about something like this.
Mods? Is anyone reading the content before it gets posted?
Trollala?!?
2qwertyParticipantWolf, if you don’t think you did anything wrong then you are a shogeg.
2qwertyParticipant“their baby stomach aches or just didnt seem to be good for them”
“didnt seem to agree with their baby”
Doesn’t sound like allergic reactions to me.
2qwertyParticipantLast year i saw a man and a lady both dressed in black suits with white gloves, tall hats (like magicians) and their baby in a car seat dressed like a rabbit.

10,000 over a thousand years could have multiplied many times over. Maybe then in 1939 no one would ever dream of starting up with one of the biggest nations on earth.
2qwertyParticipantFree! Judges are not allowed to charge for it and there are still few such individuals available who do it l’shem mitzvah.
2qwertyParticipantThey are both fine for your tasks but with 1 you wont have to upgrade in 2 years it will last you 3-4 years. Seeing how infrequently you buy a computer you might as well get a better one.
2qwertyParticipantFor this flight check out hotwire website they offer different airports and different dates with many choices under 400.
2qwertyParticipantWell if they are doing something against the law you can sue them for damage.
Since no one did I assume its legal.
If I tow your car I’m also causing you damage time/money so just don’t block my driveway.
2qwertyParticipantFor lowest avg I guess you can change if statement to
playerAverage<max
And change in the beginning
int max=100; // which is the Max number it can be
2qwertyParticipantI guess you still didnt see my answer which doesnt use arrays.
And by the way Perl is great but no one wants to use it anymore so i would suggest PHP over Perl.
2qwertyParticipantI was joking about the island i wanted to see how many people heard of it before. Anyway your answer should be something like this:
//in the begining add
int max=0;
int highestPlayer;
//then right after you know playerAverage do this
if(playerAverage>max)
{
max = playerAverage;
highestPlayer=x;
}
//right before writting out team average add this
System.out.println(“Player with the highest average: ” + highestPlayer);
2qwertyParticipantI googled it for you and the first result is this page:
http://www.torah.org/advanced/business-halacha/5757/vol2no26.html
Sources:
Gemara in Bava Basra (22b-23a)
Shulchan Oruch (Choshen Mishpat 155:39)
Rema adds that it applies regarding any discomfort
2qwertyParticipantI thought you were talking about an Island in Indonesia
2qwertyParticipantyungerman1, do you really understand the concept of parking on some elses property?
If you are trespassing someone property you can get shot but your car cant get a small sticker?
2qwertyParticipantI think Greenfield got rid of it recently.
But to answer your question you are parked on a city street without their permission so it’s good they didn’t tow you. I know I do it also but then I accept the punishment without complaining.
2qwertyParticipantDitto for all the other animals! The only exceptions maybe where humans interfered.
I know people will mention elephants, whales, and so on but i dont think they are overweight in comparison to each other they are just built that way.
2qwertyParticipantA Kohen had to walk up a ramp and not steps so he wouldn’t expose himself when lifting his feet for the next step. So sounds like he wore a robe and no underwear!?!
January 12, 2012 3:26 pm at 3:26 pm in reply to: Torching Of Brooklyn Cars May Have Been Insurance Scam #8428942qwertyParticipantI dont understand what insurance scam can there be if insurance just pays the value of the car. What can this person benefit from doing it?
2qwertyParticipantGoq,
I hear where you are coming from but i think the difference is that Asian language can be spoken by anyone from any country/culture/religion. So when we make these jokes we aren’t making fun of any particular type of people.
The same way we make fun of English language with jokes like:
You park in a driveway and drive on a parkway.
Your nose may run and your feet may smell.
If con is the opposite of pro then what’s opposite of congress?
Frosted Flakes have frosting, but pitted prunes Dont have pits.
When I wind up my watch, I start it, but when I wind up this post, I end it.
Sincerely,
Sam Ting
2qwertyParticipantThere is a place in Brooklyn called Sushi Mitushi.
It’s not kosher and anyway Jewish people wouldn’t want such sushi.
January 9, 2012 2:36 am at 2:36 am in reply to: Winter Vacation & Minyan Problem- your opinion please #8424292qwertyParticipantDoswin,
I think you are right but it’s just too annoying to hear someone talk like that.
2qwertyParticipantca,
I dont think its lifnei eeveir at all. Would you hire someone who is a smoker? Would you pay rent to someone who is a smoker?
When you give a person money its his choice what to do with it. You can daven so you money will lead people to do good things but you are not responsible if they choose otherwise.
2qwertyParticipant>Giving money to someone who’s just shaking a pushka because they >heard Jews give money on Friday afternoons, and then that person >goes home laughing, is sadly, not fulfilling the mitzvah of
>tzedakah.
I disagree because as far as you are concerned they are asking because they need it so you are obligated to give. Generally, I think the less we judge others the less Hashem will judge us.
>Once I find out the person buys cigarettes I have a good excuse
>not to give him tzedaka “poor” or not
Is that your criteria or Hashem’s?
2qwertyParticipantIs it better to give to someone you believe doesn’t need it?
Yes the mitzvah is to give regardless whether the person needs it or not. And as far as i remember you can give the smallest coin to satisfy this mitzvah. However, i personally think its disrespectful to give too little.
2qwertyParticipantLook if she says thank you to the waiter for bringing her a drink.
Or if she is thankful for a finding a parking quickly.
She will for sure say thank you to you for opening the door but its the small things that count.
2qwertyParticipantWell either system files/settings got messed up or there is a conspiracy against you. Take your pick.
2qwertyParticipantI thought promotions are against CR rules
