then shiva starts after yom tov. im also pretty sure I wrote that yom tov stops shiva if the shiva started prior to yom tov. in this case it didnt. I am uncertain if yom tov sheini shel galus is counted as 1st day of shiva or if isru chag counts as day 1.
Assuming you said kul chamira, perhaps the unknown cookie is hefker and not sold, in which case you can burn it.
Im pretty sure Yom Tov stops shiva only if it began prior to yom tov. If someone passes away and is buried on yom tov or chol hamoed, shiva doesnt start until after yom tov (I think in chutz laaretz the “second day” counts as day 1 of shiva, but not 100% certain.
Joseph,
Get the specifics of the contract between your Shliach to sell the chametz and the person he sold it to and share that info with us. Perhaps those familiar with choshen mishpat and lihavdil secular contract law will be able to guide you. Until then, take it back, and if you dont want it, put it out with the trash, or donate it to Masbia.
A woman can dress as a very tzniusdik man and vice versa. Are you suggesting it’s permitted?
You don’t have much of a choice. You appointed the Rav your shliach to conduct the transaction for you and unless you stop his shlichus whatever the Rav does you will have to live with. Unless of course you don’t appoint a shliach in which case I wish you happy negotiating. The way it was explained to me, specific terms of the sale are not finalized before Yom Tov only the framework of the sale.
(i’m obviously speaking of something not obvious that it is for men, not like shirts which have buttons on the other side…)
which side? ever see the buttons on the clothing of some chassidiehe men?
“we should all be buying only Empire/OU chicken”
I was told that the OU brought in the Nirbater Rav Shlita to be in charge of the kashrus on poultry.
“You have not convinced anyone that keeping gebrokts imposes a hardship on anyone else (because it doesn’t).”
Hardship is a loose term here. For some people bending just a little bit is very difficult, and for others twisting themselves like a pretzel is no big deal.
They don’t drink. Pugs have been on the wagon for over a decade now.
I’m a chasid of Rav Yosef Karo Z’l. I try to follow all his rulings.
make sure your mixer has the motor (look at rpm) to handle the batters you want to mix.
find an Orthodox Rabbi to guide you.
“But would you feel bad ex post facto that you in fact ate chazir? Would you ask Hashem for mechila?”
I would feel bad, but not embarrassed. I’m not sure if there is a mechila to ask in this situation. If the klal did an aveira based on the psak of the sanhedrin what was proper procedure, who brought a chattas? What did everyone else do? If your hypothetical situation ever became a reality, I would ask my Rav what to do.
“I have already addressed that point as did Joseph.”
Correct, as did I. I still maintain that nobody needs to be embarrassed for following the accepted halacha. There is no reason to rehash the question in 10 different ways (not that you did).
No matter what word you use, exposed, revealed, publicized why should anyone be embarrassed for following the halacha?
why would anyone be embarrassed if they got their aliya according to accepted accepted halachic principles. Lo bashamayim hi.
“There is no reason Artscroll or CIS cannot get someone like Herman Wouk to write for them”
Of course there is. They wont sell any books priced at $69.95 which is what they would have to charge to recoup any advance they would have to give someone of that stature given the relative small size of the target market relative to the general public.

only if you serve latkes
People complain that in Brooklyn nobody says good shabbos to anyone. You see, they adopted this policy to avoid any shaylos such as the one raised by Joseph. If you ignore everyone the entire shabbos, then there is no question what to wish someone at any time and you avoid the machlokes haposkim that was presented here.
Apple strudel could be a yetzer hara.
Or perhaps I wrote it.
Thats the anonymous internet for you. Maybe it is, maybe it isnt. Maybe I am Dennis Prager, perhaps I’m Dennis the Menace. Perhaps I’m neither, and all I am is just another simple jew.
Flyfishing
Ploni ben Ploni Ed. The word Ed is usually pre filled on a store bought kesuba.
Yes, it IS a mitzvah to rebuke. A times though it is a mitzvah to keep ones mouth shut. The details are in knowing when which course of action is appropriate.
You are hosting people for the entire chag, a meal or 2?
How much help can you expect from the adults you are hosting before yom tov and on yom tov itself?
Is it a kvi, Kevi, Koy or Kow?
“Will be trying it out for the arba kosos on Pesach, be’ezras Hashem.”
I would try it out beforehand, just in case.
One can stuff themselves with basar viyayin under the guise of “simchas yom tov” when all their self indulgence is, in the words of the ramban, menuval birishus hatorah.
Basar Viyayin yes. One can, to quote the Ramban, be a menuval birishus hatorah.
“So was wondering if it is possible to do something else.”
Of course it is. I know frum postal clerks, a frum mailman, several frum police officers, a frum firefighter a frum conductor for the NYC subway system, a frum engineer for NJ Transit.
“those who do other things (driving trucks, etc…).”
As Jackie Mason once said, he doesnt drive the truck, he just controls it, he works as a controller in the trucking industry.
Dont forget Natures Own.
What did he gain?
Wherever he now, he is probably further along than he would have been before sliding back.
When I was called for jury duty and was empaneled for a civil case I told the lawyers who were asking the questions to find a jury , “I would vote however it was necessary to finish the case as quickly as possible”. That got me dismissed from the case pretty quickly.
As a mashgiach in a pesach hotel for 3 years, MAs assessment is right on target. My “favorite” memory of those years is the almost lynching of one of the other mashgichim who delayed the opening of the tea room by 10 minutes because of a kashrus concern. This is less than 30 minutes after birchas hamazon of a 4 course meal with 3 options at each course, which followed on the heels of a kiddush after davening that rivaled the seudas achashveirosh.
“its because Peseach has become too hard to make at home for many”
My in-laws go away to a hotel because it is too hard for them to properly clean the house the way their children and grandchildren expect it to be cleaned (ZD calls it OCD – I call it stupidity). They cant move the furniture, climb to the very top of the book cases or reach the top level of the chandelier (all of which has become a de facto requirement these days because of – I dont know, but it cant be love of the mitzvah with all the complaining that goes on about it!), so, they pack up and go to a hotel. This way, their grandchildren wont think of them as lax in their observance (sad).

Don’t have the coffee on an empty stomachs. I know it’s easier said than done especially if you enjoy your coffee during your Seder before shachris.
Hire me. $200 for the night. You wont know what I am singing, but I am cheap.
One thing that drives me crazy are those who pace back and forth while davening.

Mdd. Thanks for twisting my words. If getting drunk is your thing go for it.
Getting drunk on Purim is a mitzva dirabbanan according to some shittos. Viahavta lireacha kamocha is an asay dioraisa according to all. Slandering a seminary is an issur dioraisa too. I guess the mitzvah and chiyuv of getting drunk is so chasuv in his eyes that he feels it is permitted to set aside an asay and also violate a lav to fulfill it.
Matza. A 3 cornered flatbread eaten by jews everywhere on Purim.
say what? and why??
We fast taanis esther to remind us that when we are in an es tzara, tzom and tefilla are the way to go (see the mishna berura in hilchos megilla – din taanis esther – I forget the siman and sif). So, if it is still taanis esther in your part of the world, daven well today and again tomorrow on purim.
Im sure thats atypo and she meant, she isnt fond of matzah.
Orchos Chaim Spinka hardly qualifies as “some poskim”.
