White’s are for cosmetic purposes. Silver last longer. Maybe your dentist wants to make more money, or you misunderstood him. Unfortunately it is not uncommon to find dentists who lie about what’s going on in your mouth. Get a second opinion.
They sell it in Rav Dovid’s yeshiva on Rechov Eli HaKohen in Ezras Torah.
WIY: Not sure which neighbrhoods you hang out in. Definately not the klal. According to your reasoning it really depends on how people act. If people in a community say good shabbos to flirt than it’s assur, and if not then it’s muttar.
Great Story- I know a nice middle aged Orthodox man, who wished good shabbos to another Orthodox man while crossing paths in the street. When the other man did not respond the nice man repeated good shabos. When the other man didn’t respond, the nice man said “excuse me for assuming that you”re Jewish.”
I am pretty sure Rav Ovadiah sent his kids to Ashkenaz yeshivot.
Honestly I may be mistaken about what Yeish Mi Sheomer means,however I’m sure 100% in this case the Shulchan Aruch is poskining like the fist opinion (being that I asked a big posek to make sure. However. being that I asked a posek has nothing to do with you,you should check with your Rav.
WIY: This semi true. Ashkenazim though do old of Shavua Shechal Bo in the literal sense, to be more machmir on cerain things. I asked a shailah to the Moreh Horeh, because I wasn’t certain if Ashkenazim wold be able to make a siyum to eat meat this year. He told me one could.
Sam2: Correct, however “Yeish Mi Sheomer” in the Shulchan Arch usually (I would guess there to be some exceptions) that we don’t hold of that opinion (Yeish Mi Sheomer is a lashon implying a minority opinion)
There is no din of Shavua Shechal Bo this year. That’s the psak of the Shulchan Aruch, and the Rama does not argue. I checked this with a Moreh Horah (from the Brisk community) to be sure.
Takish- The Mir and Rav Ilsin’s are two very different places. Need more specifics.
The bochrim in Rav Ilsin’s now are very similar to the hashkafic mindset of a good American Mir bochur.
Almost all the bochrim there have very strict halacha standards. The Yeshiva follows machmir shitos (like iber maysaring,and only using badatz food products). The bochrim treat halacha very seriously.
RSHS is alumni and pretty much everything he says is accurate, however a few things have changed over the years.
First of all Rav Ilson this year only gave shiur once a week on the yeshiva mesechta to the entire yeshiva, but stopped and started saying instead on a Sefer Hamitzvos shiur. Next year he might switch back and start saying everyday on the yeshiva mesechta. This year though he has started giving an optional iyun shiur twice a week on Ohalos, which my friends seem to enjoy, though not all attend.
Secondly, form what I understand, Rav Ilson is only as of now writing a sefer on Sefer hamitzvos, which will consist of the hakdama and the shorashim only.
Thirdly the bochrim now tend to be more right wing then previous years. They are by no means yeshivish. They mostly all wear hats and jackets, and I think even most wear white shirts. However the bochrim and yeshiva are very accepting, and no one is pressured in the slightest to dress in any particular fashion
Fourthly Rav Ilson I was told was a ben bayis by Rav Shneur (my friend was trying to convince me he is not modox at all), and stayed there every shabbos for like five years.
Fifthly I heard from Rav Ilson himself that he did not leave ToMo for hashkafic reasons. He said he left it when Bais split from ToMo, becuase he said when ever theres machlokes its better to stay away
No shaychis to the meah shearim matsiv. The community doesn’t mind them since they are well behaved. I actually think some of the residents might be fond of them.
I have a bunch of friends who went there. Spent a bunch of shabbosim there. What specifically would you like to know?
