Like others said, the quality of what they sell, including notably their store brand “Kirkland Signature” (unlike most other places store brands), is generally absolutely top notch.

Ben TorahParticipantICOT: How do you know what your kids read in the library (and don’t bring home)?
Ben TorahParticipantDoor Knob
Ben TorahParticipantBen TorahParticipantMoq: That is your contention. I know of no source the psak of Rav Elyashev was ever retracted. Please present it. Even reading FMF’s above comments seems to indicate his wife abides by Rav Elashev’s original shaitel psak. The idea Rav Elyashev “quietly retracted” comes across as a way out of abiding by the psak. What about the Lipa (and others) concert? Was Rav Elyashev and the other gedolim’s decree thereof forbidding it also “quietly retracted”? Or are we still forbidden from attending such concerts? (FMF is consistent on this point, as he said he avoids the concerts and shaitels. But others are picking which psak gedolim they like.)
Ben TorahParticipantcharliehall – were you frum at the time (as a child)?
Ben TorahParticipantI once observed someone blow (or wipe) his nose into his talis.

October 18, 2010 3:47 am at 3:47 am in reply to: Will Rav Amnon Yitzchak manage to change the music industry? #701559Ben TorahParticipantI always sit with family and we never have an issue of men sitting next to women they aren’t related to.
How is that possible? Your family has a mechitza all around it? Where are the “other” families sitting? Not at where your family ends?

Ben TorahParticipantBen TorahParticipantR. Levin’s contention was by the Corzine voting issue in NJ and the John Heyer voting issue in Willi, that the gedolim were misled as to the underlying facts that were used to render a decision. That is similar to what Moq is describing regarding the Indian sheitel situation.
My point is to remain consistent. Truthfully I am troubled anytime, including here, that it is contended that the gedolim were misled. Troubled by those making such a contention. And I was similarly troubled by those making that contention by the Indian sheitel issue and the Lipa concert. The fact remains that in both those cases the gedolim issued a declaration it was assur — and NEVER retracted. If in fact they were misled as to the underlying facts leading to the decision, they would make public — just as they had the prohibition — that it was based on faulty underlying info. They hadn’t by neither the sheitels or concerts. So yes, I’m troubled by this contention too on this issue.

I’m not saying you are wrong, just pointing out the problem.

Chazal tell us to look at a girls brothers (as her children may turn out like them) and Chazal also say to marry a bas talmid chochom.
Ben TorahParticipantHLM: Someone that does that is very much an exception. Few men would c”v do something like that.
Ben TorahParticipantFMF: Do you take the same position about those that say the gedolim were misinformed about Indian sheitels or concerts (i.e. Lipa, etc.)?
Do you maintain that those who makes such claims (that the gedolim were misinformed about such issues — sheitels, concerts, et al) are being mevaze the gedolim, and that we must in fact boycott Indian sheitels and the concerts in question per the decisions of the gedolim?
October 17, 2010 7:44 pm at 7:44 pm in reply to: Some basic Halacha that is ignored in 100% of shuls by 99% of the Kahal #708603Ben TorahParticipantWIY: What do you do when leaving Shomer Shabbos and the only path out is through in front of someone in middle of S”A (and the minyan is not in middle of S”A — the minyan is finished.) The person must stand there for 5 minutes until the latecomer who just started S”A finishes?
Ben TorahParticipantBen TorahParticipant[we should do so]
Even those gays who do not engage in Sodomy are still prohibited from marrying each other. This is because, as the Rema mi’Panu records [3:21], there is even a prohibition for Noachides merely to draw up marriage contracts for homosexuals [Chullin 92a-b] [Bava Metzia 75b] this passage to prohibit causing a person to be in a situation in which he is likely to transgress a commandment. In addition, it is clear from Tosafos (throughout the first perek/chapter of Avodah Zarah) that this rule (of not causing others to sin) applies even to a Noachide.
Ben TorahParticipantRSRH: The aforementioned gemorah is clear that toeiva marriage is a clear-cut violation of the 7 mitzvos.
Additionally it is clear, that these abominable promoters are openly, gleefully, and unashamedly engaged in the forbidden “action” in question. And THAT (the action) is what they are demanding be legitimized.
And like others above have mentioned, why are you and the toeiva marriage supporters not promoting legalized marriage between Mother and Son as well as between Brother and Sister?
Do us all a favor and read the gemorah. It is difficult to believe someone who believes in the Torah is taking your position. And it will be doubly difficult to believe you maintain that position after correctly understanding the gemorah.
Ben TorahParticipantYes, RSRS, there is a difference between action and taaivos. When these degenerates demand marriage, they are saying loud and clear they mean ACTION. It is difficult to believe I am reading a Jew actually defending these deviants. A “domestic relationship” is action. I doubt anyone who attends those filth pride parades will deny they are engaged in action. In fact, they will cheerfully spit in your face that they mean action. And that is even without “marriage” — which by definition stands for action.
The gemora (Chullin 92a) that says that the nations of the world, however sinful, corrupt or perverse, still have the merit of at least three behaviors, one of which is “they do not write a kesubah for males.”
Ben TorahParticipantRSRH: Mishkav zochor is a violation of the Sheva mitzvos and carries a death penalty for goyim. They are required to observe the sheva mitzvos by the force of law. Furthermore, the gemora says goyim outlawing mishkav zochor marriage is the reason they are not destroyed.

October 17, 2010 5:12 am at 5:12 am in reply to: Some basic Halacha that is ignored in 100% of shuls by 99% of the Kahal #708590Ben TorahParticipantBTW, what is someone (who is properly makpid on this) supposed to do when walking into or out of a packed shul, with there being no way to move almost anywhere without passing someone in middle of S”A? (Including times when the minyan is NOT in middle of the quiet S”A.)
Ben TorahParticipant“IF YOU CANNOT SAY FROM ???? ??? BEFORE AMIDA FORGET ????? ??????”
What you are saying is that you must start saying from ???? ??? through the Amida, and then afterwards can say what was missed (before ???? ???)?
Ben TorahParticipantBut you can’t ask a goy directly to violate Shabbos for you.

Ben TorahParticipantIf arriving right before Shemoneh Esrei for the last or only minyan in town, should you start S”A with the minyan — and daven everything else afterwards?
Does it make a difference between Shachris/Mincha/Maariv?
