Joseph,
Your response to Milhouse is a strawman comment. You are concocting a ridiculous scenario of someone going to jail for blocking a driveway when we all know that is pretty much an impossibility. Blocking a driveway will result in a fine and possibly the inconvenience of being towed and resulting tow charges.
Still waiting for the name of a Posek who says that calling 311 for blocking a driveway is considered mesira.
Wolf,
Don’t be silly. You’re only chayev misa if you knew the alarm owner was a jew. I’m assuming you knew otherwise. If, on the other hand, you knew it was a jew and you called the cops anyway, then you’re out of luck. )-:
Joseph,
How about we do this the other way?
Why don’t YOU name an English speaking posek that anyone reading this can contact for themselves, who holds that calling 311 in this situation is considered mesira.Joseph
Yes. Yes, they would.
Next question.
Eretz Yisrael dating: dd/mm/yy
American dating: mm/dd/yy😂🤣 thanks, I needed that -29
Maybe in a Haredie community like Boro Park , the people should be trained not to do things that get them arrested.
Once again we seem to not understand the actual definition of chilul hashem.
Why is kaparos with chickens a chilul Hashem?

Says who? Maybe we should vote for the morally correct candidate (A in your example) and let G-d worry about the school vouchers.
“can cause tragic ramifications”
Really? There are people in Lakewood that may stop using the mikva because of this? (Assuming it’s accurate)

Please show how it’s possible on a direct flight from the US to Israel to not miss a minyan (assuming no minyan on plane with it’s associated issues)
“Rav Chaim Kanievsky also made it clear that people should daven all tefillos with a Minyan during Bein Hazmanim.”
Of course. And obviously people should not sleep in and miss shacharis b’tzibur or be lazy and miss mincha/maariv just because they’re “off” from Yeshiva. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s assur to do a productive activity (yes. vacation/relaxing/amusement can be productive) unless there are 3 minyanim a day in the vicinity.
Someone can be very committed to tefila b’tzibur and still make a cheshbon for the sake of his family to go on a trip where a mincha minyan (or any minyan) might not be possible. Either extreme (either not caring about minyan at all or never going anywhere without 3 minyanim a day) is well, extreme.

If there is a bracha on an eclipse, what is it and what is your source for that?
(Hint: there isn’t one)
To be accurate you should have written it as follows
“Depending if he was born between January 1 and Rosh Hashana or after Rosh Hashana”
Even if you have a slightly more difficult prescription (for which Zenni may add a surcharge), and you can’t get the cheap glasses for $15, Zenni will still be way cheaper than you would pay in a regular store. And just as good.
Why are you eating dried fruit today? It’s tu b’av, not tu b’shvat. 🙂

Why would you think otherwise?

I’d say the teachers deserve a vacation just for putting up with the rude and misbehaving parents.
Joseph
Why do you assume when he said “not in the standard “ that he meant a lower standard?
While “going along” for the sake of peace is a very important ideal, it can also be a slippery slope. How far are we willing to go? Where do you draw the line? There are many areas where, peace notwithstanding, we don’t “go along”.
The “unspecified plant” is not the only ingredient. As with any other food made of multiple ingredients, the bracha would depend on issues of ikar/tafel and/or rov/miut.
Enjoy them while you can. Depending where you live, plastic straws will soon be criminalized.
it is prohibited to do anything that’ll result in inappropriate romantic feelings.
Better, Wolf?
Midwest,
You’re making a big assumption. Nowhere in the question did the OP state that the guy is “looking” for a never married girl.
Fairly common sense, that platonic relationships are unnatural.

CG,
Are you saying that the length of the day during the time of the Gemara vs. the current length of day is a difference of 3 hours ?!
CG,
“The discrepancy between today and the time of the gemara is about 3 hours (with an uncertainty of a good few minutes either way). “
Please explain.
Has anyone considered the possibility that he’ll try to get them to do tshuva?
Even if he’s successful with a small percentage, wouldn’t that be an accomplishment?
While I don’t support or defend this lifestyle, why is this different than any other “kiruv” situation where many members of a shul are not religious? (This is assuming that the shul is run according to orthodox standards)
# 5 says that one may call authorities in a situation of sakana
Joseph
How does this case “point” to that?

Nice. So you know how to copy and paste from the OU website. (I’d provide the link but don’t want to upset the mods)
Chilul Hashem only comes into play if one is doing something wrong. If a Jew is acting in an appropriate manner, it doesn’t matter if the goyim like it or not. The goyim are not the arbiters of how we’re supposed to act.
Takes2
Stop ignoring the question!
Please. State. Your. Definition. Of. Chilul. Hashem.
Takes2
Can you please give us your definition of chilul hashem?
Takes2
Where are you getting your definition of chilul hashem? Just because goyim may get upset, is not the definition of chilul hashem.
Can this be translated to English?
GH
you wrote “Efforts to make unmarried frum girls feel like damaged goods or failures is a big chillul hashem”
Everything else you wrote may be true. And you’re correct that girls should not be treated as damaged goods. But where are you getting your definition of chilul hashem?
It’s only a yichud issue if it’s a small office with too few people.
“Because teenage boys are teenage boys.”
Agreed.
But might there be a difference between hiring a 25 yr old woman (bad idea) vs hiring a 65 yr old who’s old enough to be their grandmother (might be OK)
And on the earlier discussion of shaitel macher…
Someone mentioned negia as an issue.
While I’m not encouraging males to enter the shaitel macher workforce, on a technical level why would negia be an issue? Women go to male doctors and dentists. And the basic heter is that they are concentrating on their work. So why would that heter not apply to a male shaitel macher?
Joseph-
OK. So if a car in fact has the same status as a private room, it is subject to the same heteirim if relevant i.e. visible to the public and subject to the same restrictions regarding appropriate interaction between the genders.
My point is that there is no chiddush here regarding a car. Define its status in that particular circumstance and the Halacha is the same.
Why the big discussion about rides? Why is this different than any other interaction between men and women which have halachic guidelines that are dependent on the details of the situation. Namely, relationship, purpose of interaction, and surrounding environment (i.e. presence or absence of other people)
Yudel,
Source please re: R’ Miller & yaharog val yavor on this issue
Avi K,
How can you eat chometz after shvi’i shel pesach which “was sold to the non-Jew according to Halacha” It still belongs to the non-jew.
״It’s as much a problem as it was several millenia ago.״
The odds of this happening with our thin cracker matzos is infinitesimally low.
The odds of this happening with machine matzos is close to impossible.
GH,
Why did the rav bang on the shtender?
Where in hilchos pesach is it taught that we are supposed to deprive ourselves? These “conveniences” may actually increase simchas yom tov.
zdad,
“(Alot more jews converted than you were led to belive, more converted than allowed themselves to be killed)“
What’s your source for this?
Joseph-
While I don’t know much about the new judge in Israel, regarding Freier it’s been reported that she did not do anything without the support of her Rav/Rebbe.
Are those reports false?
