they probably went to local non jewish beer seller and purchased one of half dozen brands of beer not distributed by the jewish owned distributor.
According to the audio posted by YWN. 75% of all beer of particular brands sold in supermarkets and other venues in the NY area moves through the distributor in question. Half dozen brands that are not sold by this company are listed by the CRC.
“So people in the NYC area can’t just go without beer until Shavuos?”
Should we substitute wine, scotch or bourbon at a shalom zachar? Should we tell women not to give birth to boys between pesach and shavuos?
I listened to part of the shiur osted by YWN. Rabbi elefant of the OU said rather clearly, it was NOT known who the owner of this beer distributor was until this year. He also said, in this regard the OU follows the psak of Rav Solevetchik Z’l that the mechira in this particular scenario (not your garden variety mechira) is not a valid mechira. He also very clearly said, that this is a machlokes haposkim with recognized poskim on both sides of the issue and one should consult his own Rav what to do.
The CRC (williamsburg) listed half a dozen brands that are not distributed by this company and are not at issue here.
We throw it out, along with the marketeer, vues and other unsolicited materials left at the door.
“Then they could at least put the Jewish year on the box, or “for Pesach 2018”, so you know it’s not leftover from a previous year.”
what do you think happens to most pesach products that dont sell? deep freeze till the next year. unless it is something they can put into the “gluten free” section.
“Are you aware that some Yidden in the Middle East refer to Hashem as Allah? ”
Several years ago, a song on one of the yackov schwecky albums was “inshalla”.
I think this thread needs a name change.
“If it takes more than 3-5 seconds to go down your block it’s not hatzolah.”
This is probably true, however, I believe a contributing factor is that “our community”, for the most part, moves out of the way when hatzalah comes their way, sadly this is not true when it is “of of their” ambulances. Dont take my word for it. stick your fingers in your ears and open your eyes and watch what happens.
I dont think it is reasonable to tell anyone, of any gender to date anyone, no matter what their age.
I dont think it is unreasonable though, to make such a suggestion, if one is fully prepared to explain to the parties involved why it makes sense.
“So would you say the same thing about the Missionaries that go around?
Yes, I would. some are “better” than others. I wouldn’t rate “missionaries” as a group based on the handful of interactions Iv’e had with a missionary.
“I mean maybe X-ianty is right – because most people in the US practice it?
For someone who was not familiar with any religion, that would be a fair statement. However, we know that just because most people believe something it doesnt make it true. Most people in NYC, for example, call 911 in an emergency, not 230-1000, doesnt make them right either.
” This is just an illustration about your Genius Statement!”
Actually, this reflects your foolishness. Your statement about missionaries has nothing to do with your 2nd statement about the majority of people and how they worship. I dont believe you are a foolish person, but in your disdain for hatzala you are grasping at the silliest of “arguments” to try and “prove” your point.
If c’v you are ever faced with a medical emergency, dont call them. It is very simple.
Only a fool will judge an organization made up of thousands of members based on interaction with a handful.
“The national one comes every month- the hemish one hasn’t come in well over a year and he has no idea what is even in my products.”
The mashgiach is probably paid by both organizations, when he comes for one, he knows exactly whats going on, on behalf of the other as well.
Whenever I eat out with a hechsher, I keep my plate very close to me. You never know when it will try to swipe from your plate.
“Torah is Hefker and ANYONE is allowed to repeat Shiurim”
This is true. If you wish to share Rabbi Millers torah with the public, study it, transcribe it and disseminate it. You cant disseminate someone elses work. though.
There is an interesting Op-Ed today on Arutz Sheva titled “Israel proves the NRAs arguments”. Is a good read.
“A joke is something that’s funny.”
The teller thought it was funny.
“If 1 person gets insulted that’s called making fun!!! ”
Only in the eyes of the insulted person. the teller thinks it was a funny joke, unless the teller is in the habit of telling boring, stupid jokes.
“Purim doesn’t mean that people don’t have feelings!”
Therefore?
Moderators, please delete the last post by ME12345 to me. I am insulted.
“the entire concept is goyish”
The entire concept is a JOKE.
Try to “register” or “sponsor” someone for this campaign on their website and see where it takes you.
Animals too, have 2 ears, and one mouth.
“it’s not about shallowness…
it’s about the society.”Society can be shallow. Anyone involved with shidduchim, whether for themselves, their child or as a shadchan knows this 1st hand.
I learned in yeshiva (and even bichavrusa with one) with several Rabbeim of YTY, they all wore white shirts only on shabbos and yom tov (or for occasions that called for “shabbos clothes – such as a simcha or a date). Now, they would lose their job faster than you can say “get out”, if they wore blue shirts, they wore in their 20s.

….Anyone know where I can buy white pant, maybe buy a good humor man uniform so I can be dressed in white from head to toe in fulfillment of this passuk?
He also says his brachos, and recites birchas hamazon.
“what does that have to do with anything”
Everything
A ben sorer umorer also ate kosher food, made brachos and benched.
“Now Erliche is nt defined,”
Therefore, for purposes of this discussion, one can not answer the OP. If anyone wishes to answer this question they must then tell us how they define BOTH terms otherwise their response is meaningless.
If the Rambam understands the terms ehrliche and foodie the way I do, he would be in agreement with me, the 2 are mutually exclusive. since, I dont know how the Rambam interprets either term, I offer no opinion how he would respond to the OP.
“Ok, go ahead. Let’s hear”
In my understanding of ehrlich and my understanding of the term foodie, the 2 are mutually exclusive. My avodas hashem and yiras shamayim is my business, yours (the collective you – IE all reading this) is your business and if you want assistance, find a mentor, I am not volunteering for the job.
Define ehrlicher yid. Then, define foodie. Are they definitions mutually exclusive? You have your answer.
when I asked my Rav….. There is tzedaka and there is hachzakas torah. sometimes it is obvious what category something falls into. sometimes not. it is not all that clear that one may use maaser funds for every situation of hachzakas torah. so, when we are unsure, we ask.
“I simply want to know if i should get over this issue that I have of giving maaser money to oorah for the oorahthon because they have ALOT of money from kars4kids? ”
what you seem to be REALLY saying is, should I bother supporting an organization such as Oorah that has an excellent source of funding and allocate my maaser elsewhere since they dont need my donation anyway.
“I simply want to know if i should get over this issue that I have of giving maaser money to oorah for the oorahthon because they have ALOT of money from kars4kids? ”
Yes. You are not suporting Oorah (your statement says you feel they have plenty of money already) with your “donation”, you are playing a game of chance for a shot at a prize.
You must yell chardak,at a chayal, at least twice a week.

“Respect is earned.”
Please learn thoroughly through the appropriate simanim in shulchan aruch and then come back and tell us if this simplistic statement is still true (my Rav said these words to me when I made the same comment to him).
Real batei din should do it.
“Why don’t we make every man and woman sign a legal document before getting married that they commit to giving/accepting a get (subject to Beis Dins agreement)”
The chasson already stupulates under the chuppa that he is marrying the woman subject to “das moshe viyisroel”. this statement is witnessed often by several hundred people, including two who are designated as witnesses specifically by the chosson. I wonder when a beis din with some teeth (sadly, there is no such beis din which has given rise to the questionable practices of prenups, etc) would tell either party, you are not acting in accordance with “das moshe viyisroel” and we are going to annul your kiddushin retroactively since you violated the condition. that would create quite a stir, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
“the Choson walking into the women’s side of the mechitza”
the minhag in spink and komarna used to be that the chosson EATS some portion of the seuda by the “cheder nashim”. (rav zinner brings this down in his sefer), I dont know if that minhag has changed with time.
the generally accepted minhag is that “yichud” is nisuin, however, many meforshei Rambam understand that any act that demonstrates that they are husband and wife is nisuin. walking hand in hand into the seuda would certainly qualify as an act that demonstrates they are husband and wife.
I cant speak for all yeshivas, or all dorms, but, the yeshiva that my boys attend, requires it.
By many, the custom is that the chosson walks out to escort the kallh to the chuppa (IE nisuin of old, where the kallah was brought into the rishus of the chosson), others dont consider the chuppa the nisuin, but, the later parts of the wedding ceremony including yichud and perhaps the hall where the seuda is taking place.
By trolls the minhag is that the chosson escorts the kallah, as evidenced by shrek.
Attend todays Hakhel shiur in Rabbi Reismans shul. if you cant, get a copy of the audio/video. The advertisement listed among the “modern day shailos” t be addressed is this specific topic.
you answered your own question.
reminds me of the country yossi classic calls bit, “can you name the 5 boros of nyc”.
“I saw large segments of the Yishivish velt not deferring to him.”
Many people did not defer to Moshe Rabbeinu too. He was even accused of gezel and arayos by large segments of klal yisroel.
Im still in the running!
He must have skipped Siman תרעא. The Rma is clear, the MB is clear.
this is a very important issue to resolve. if aliens land on route 59 in monsey tomorrow and say take me to your leader, we will look very foolish in their eyes as we stumble and fumble for his name and address.
the mishna berura is clear. it means a persons wife. ishto kigufo doesnt refer to a father/daughter, sister/brother relationship. but, he is free to drei a kup. its a slow day today.
Isha niknis bishlosha drachim. How does she advertise she is married if one of the other drachim were used.
To the OP. why do you have to explain anything to the girls? the Rma is clear thj\at all household members light (which the mishna berura says means everyone, except the wife since ishto kigufo). Unless of course, this family follows the mechaber that only the baal habayis lights in which case not only the girls in the family, but the boys dont either. If there is a family minhag that is not like either the mechaber, or the rma as explained by the mishna berura, then the father should explain this family minhag. If he is an am haaretz, let him ask someone who does understand the reason for the family minhag. perhaps there is NO reason and it is a minhag shtus to begin with. is there a chiyuv for a family member to follow a family minhag shtus that goes against the shulchan aruch? maybe. I would ask my rav the answer to this last question.
