    1937 was prior to the systematic murder of Jews. Only a Navi could have predicted the future and have known at that time that the Nazis would begin mass murdering the Jews in the future.

    Its not like a tnai. Because if it were, then if the tnai were broken, the recourse would be to reverse the sale. And of course the seller wont do that.

    No, he didn’t qualify it to only BB. In fact, the shaila was asked to him by someone from outside BB. And Rav Chaim published it as a letter in several of his Seforim. Rav Chaim doesn’t publish local ordinances in his Seforim.

    What if you woke up late for work, and there is a later minyan though it will cause you to be unacceptably late to work or yeshiva? Are you still required to go to minyan and be late to work or yeshiva?

    Wolf:

    Emergency vehicle access is a non-issue. It is done in EY, and there is no increased risk in EY as a result. And since the streets are empty, the ambulances can zip right through, unlike streets that have other cars driving about.

    And, yes, I’d have no problems with Pakistanis doing it in a virtually all Paki neighborhood. And I don’t believe it would reduce our political capital for other unrelated needs.

    Wolf:

    1. Incorrect. Emergency vehicles get through fine in EY where the roads are closed. It in fact probably assists them in getting through quicker.

    2. Its a small inconvenience affecting a small number of people.

    2a. See 1.

    3. I don’t believe you are correct on this point about the number of non-frum residents. It is almost negligible. Take a stroll through inner BP.

    4. If it were a virtually 100% Pakistani neighborhood, then yes, I’d have no objections.

    5. I disagree. It would be spent wisely on this initiative.

    Note that in MO weddings with mixed seating there is, inevitably by omission or commission, by default or design or oversight, almost always problems of mixed dancing. Meaning the women are dancing in front of men. Sometimes the dancing floor is literally open by design, with no mechitza whatsoever. Other times there is a nominal mechitza for dancing, but men are seated on both sides of the mechitza and inevitably there are still men in their assigned seats on the “women’s side” who don’t leave their seats, and yet the women dance in front of them.

    The ONLY child of Rav Moshe who had mixed was Rabbi Tendler — at R. Tendler’s insistence, not Rav Moshe. Rav Dovid and Rav Reuven had seperate seating.

    Sam: It is yehereg v’al yaavor if there is derech chiba on either party. So if a guy puts a gun to a woman’s head and orders her to do something with him that she thinks isn’t derech chiba for herself, she still must give up her life since it is derech chiba for the guy (with the gun).

    soliek, the therapist won’t feel any need to “treat” the cause of going otd, just as they wouldn’t feel any need to treat someone engaging in toeiva. Neither are considered abnormal in the medical field and in neither will they see any need to diagnose a cause.

    moi aussi: Most divorces are indeed initiated by women. The reason is that they are finicky and cannot handle marriage. Not with their ex and not with a future guy. As was mentioned earlier, Rabbonim have said the vast majority of divorces should never have happened and they could have and should have stayed married.

    I personally heard from several dayanim (seperately and unaffiliated with each other) that handle divorce cases say that in the vast majority of the cases the wife was at fault for the divorce.

    computer77: The very same Sefer that you quoted saying the Shechina will reside in a home of mercy, further recommends the husband be in charge since — says the Sefer — when the man is in charge that will bring the attribute of mercy in the house.

    If you disagree, you are disagreeing with the Sefer. Don’t blame the messenger (any posters here.) So far I see no one citing any dissenting Seforim to the above Seforim.

    Therapists are bad. To them OTD is a normal, acceptable, lifestyle choice.

    MA: Why would having children (pru urvu) not be a mitzvah for a woman, if for nothing else than for assisting a man fulfilling a mitzvah? Its a mitzvah to help someone else do a mitzvah. Although I’d tend to think their is a fundamental mitzvah for a woman, in of itself, in having children.

    It says the Mitzrim forced us in a gender-reversal role. So the concept of defined gender-roles certainly is true. (What they are is a discussion for itself.)
