2scentsParticipant
Don’t know how you can bash an entire community like that.
Only cuz your not a lubob and were not born into a lubob family doesn’t give you the slightest right to mock them.
Just go on and live your life!
2scentsParticipantMake your own!
2scentsParticipantWhat do you consider a trophy wife?
Looks or character?
A wife that has a nice outside. Or someone that will be a great wife/Mother.
Not that there is something wrong with beauty. Chazal didn’t have a problem with it. Only that I don’t think external beauty is what makes a women a trophy wife.
2scentsParticipantI would suggest thaat whatever your desicion is, try it out for two months.
It might look like its for you, and end up being a disaster.
By trying it out for a few months you will get the feel and see if its for you.
October 17, 2011 9:48 am at 9:48 am in reply to: Friends with the name Abba and calling your father by that title #8178192scentsParticipantI have heard that there is a name, Momme’le. So what about her children, do they call her Mommy?
October 17, 2011 9:47 am at 9:47 am in reply to: Friends with the name Abba and calling your father by that title #8178182scentsParticipantwhat does it matter if you have a friend called Abba?
Since your Fathers name is not Abba.
The question the Doc asked is an interesting one.
I would say if someones Father has Abba as a name. He should not call him Abba.
2scentsParticipantWhich album has the ah ah ah song?
2scentsParticipantWhy bother? Just let it itch its way through. Before you know it it will be gone. Just don’t scratch the bite.
2scentsParticipantWhy not question yourself, what should you be NOW?
You cannot really predict the future, although you can do hishdadlus and work on reaching your goal. However the time is now!
2scentsParticipantAccording to your logic I am a MO?!
No, I don’t think so. Actually I know so. I grew up in a MO neighborhood. There is a foundamental difference.
Orthodox people make sure not to change their tradition. Working is not about tradition. Its all those ‘small’ things together that we hold on to.
MO doesn’t care about keeping a straight heritage.
This is my personal observation.
2scentsParticipantI don’t know if you were just mocking the chovos halvovos or just trying to be funny.
However the chovos halvovos was a Rishon. A bit of respect!
2scentsParticipantWindow shopping is muttar.
2scentsParticipantOne thing for sure. We all don’t know what the real truth is. We can just make guesses.
DSK admitted without shame that he actually ‘did’ something. Only that it was consentual. Yuck!
Yet I don’t think he should be prosecuted based on the plaintiffs own words.
2scentsParticipantWow, you just lost lots of money.
Popa looks quiet candid in this thread.
October 17, 2011 8:43 am at 8:43 am in reply to: Are you required to Pay employees for Chol Hamoed? #8177422scentsParticipantI am sure that the company your friend works is closed on Xmas. Does the boss pay for Xmas and other non Jewish holidays?
2scentsParticipantOf course tzadikim are only Human beings, and can make mistakes. Even Moshe Rabeinu erred.
However if someone knows it, it is the gedolim.
Doctors also make mistakes, that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t consult with a doctor.
2scentsParticipantThe Mordche uses the word Mitzvah for shnayim mikrah.
So yes, it is a chiyuv. As per the reshonim and poskim.
It is a mitzvah, as per the Mordche.
And no, its not some minhag which was created by the shulchan aruch, has a mekor in gemarah and in midrash as well.
2scentsParticipantLesschumras, chareidim and yeshivisha don’t label themselves. They just go about their daily life and make sure to hold on to their heritage.
2scentsParticipantSam, are you saying that the only difference between MO and original Orthodox is Learning vs working/studying science?
There are plenty of people studying science and many more that work yet they are considered Orthodox.
I think that there is a bigger difference between MO and Orthodox.
2scentsParticipantNo, that’s not what I said or was trying to imply.
only that the SA calls it a chiyuv, the SA didn’t ‘create’ the chiyuv. It goes back all the way to the gemara.
FYI the reshonim use the word chiyuv as well as MITZVAH.
2scentsParticipantDon’t know where you live but in most circles people don’t teach their children to respect the words of our gedolim.
There might be only a handful of communitys in which people strictly follow the advice and guidence of a gadol or rabbi.
October 16, 2011 3:01 pm at 3:01 pm in reply to: Why I can't I just walk around with a shaved head? #8188142scentsParticipantyour telling me that out side of BP women walk around with shaved heads?
Do you live in India?
2scentsParticipantNot sure why you jump to the conclusion that people here think of Orthodox as yeshiva life.
Its between MO and plain original O.
2scentsParticipantSend the mod a box of chocolates.
2scentsParticipantLast year I made sure to notify my customers that we will be closed.
However one customer contacted me with a very large order, I made the quick calculation, that should refuse to ship the order, he would never use our company again.
So I shipped the order. Not only did the customer return the entire order, he started using our competitor.
I learnt the hard way, now we are strictly closed!
2scentsParticipantMost of them are lost for ever due to intermarriage.
2scentsParticipantIt goes against tamim yihya I’m hashem.
2scentsParticipantProbably cuz jerks tend to leave before kedusha.
2scentsParticipantThe best method of keeping the fresh, is to double wrap them with plastic. That’s what I did last year.
This year I followed the MG”A and bought new ones.
October 16, 2011 2:30 pm at 2:30 pm in reply to: Residents of Chutz L'aretz Only Keeping One Day Yom Tov in Eretz Yisroel? #8176082scentsParticipantYes, depending on a number of factors. Ask your LOR.
2scentsParticipantYes, working on chol hamoed is not permitted. Some poskim go so far to say that it is a d’oreissa.
Giving up some pleasure is not a heter for working on chol hamoed.
The question is, can you work without doing a melacha doreissa?
2scentsParticipantI guess the point is that your in grad school.
2scentsParticipantThat’s only if popa is a real person not just some illusional fiction.
October 16, 2011 1:06 pm at 1:06 pm in reply to: Which Is The Best Internet Filtering System? #9099702scentsParticipantK9 is free and good.
Best would be if someone else has the password.
Or you can just keep it as a reminder that hey, this site is unappropiate and use your self control to steer away.
There is one thing that I had with K9, we installed it in our office computers, it made the entire network operate extremly slow. Never was able to figure out why it happened with K9.
2scentsParticipantNo, your not permitted to do so.
2scentsParticipantCuz neither was his name king, nor is the moshiach a king.
2scentsParticipantYou can call it/him thin air, however he is a great sport.
2scentsParticipantI one heard something said in the name of the Chofetz Chaim.
There was once a doctor that came to a town for a while. Local theives stole the doctors equiptment and meds. The next day someones child was severly sick, the parents came running to the doc, however the doc was unable to treat the patient since he had no medicatio.
The moral is, by bashing Gedolim we are accomplishing one thing, that in the event that we will have to use them, they won’t be able to help us. Our children or spouses won’t listen or respect their words. Same as with the doctor.
October 16, 2011 10:09 am at 10:09 am in reply to: Texting and Internet Ban In Lakewood Yeshiva #8176752scentsParticipantGood question!
This ban leads us to believe that Lakewood does not have a requirement to shut cell phones in middle of seder.
That’s what’s mashme from this takanah.
October 16, 2011 10:04 am at 10:04 am in reply to: Are you required to Pay employees for Chol Hamoed? #8177342scentsParticipantWorking for a frum company usually has its benefits, like not having to deal with working on chol hamoed, tisha b’av and purim.
However the frum compaies I deal with, all pay even for the dates they are closed. Doesn matter if the empoyee is Jewish or not.
2scentsParticipantIs Isreal the only difference between orthodox and modern orthodox?
I say go for the original version of orthodox, rather then the modern version of it.
Yeah, I know that the modern version is more sleek and stylish. But its its still not the original!
2scentsParticipantI am sure you didn’t really mean every person, rather every person that has issues.
While I agree with that, please keep in mind that there some physologists that can actually ruin your life. Do your homework before its to late!
2scentsParticipantI respectfully disagree, I don’t think that the commenter or anyone here associates mitzvah with the bracha.
Although I get your point, the commenter meant that there is schar if you eat anything in the sukka. Not that this is the chiyuv.
2scentsParticipantAssuming that you are not questioning the shulchan aruch, there is a chiyuv involved.
Your question was, what is the mitzvah of following the Shulchan Aruch.
Even if this chiyuv has been created by the SA, there would be the mitzvah of listening to our sages, as are with all mitzvos drabanan.
2scentsParticipantSam2, to be exact. The shulchan aruch uses the word Chayiv. Which means obligated.
I think its daf 40
2scentsParticipantThis kugel rule is quiet interesting.
Is it two rows in the width or in the legnth?
2scentsParticipantGoq, what’s bad about this thread?
2scentsParticipantMaybe cuz there was no other shiur available at that time and place.
2scentsParticipantUh Oh! you were supposed to be happy the entire Yom Tuv as per the be happy thread.
2scentsParticipantIts a gemara and halacha. Which makes it a mitzvah.
Its not one of the taryag mitzvos, however its a halacha. No doubt that there is schar mitzvah involved.
