I say it three times. shacharis mussaf and mincha
the gemara in moed katan and yerushalmi are very mashma that we wear tfillin chol hamoed. the shvus Yaakov has a major tshuva regarding this where he demonstrates quite conclusively that we wear tfillin chol hamoed. the Zohar is a medrash and can be understood differently.
What key? What goy? Who are you kidding? Is your chametz really sold?
how bout those who wear half a head-covering
the taz holds that those who don’t say keser should wear tfillin by mussaf. the ‘yom tov flavor’ theory is weak. lan’d even those who say keser should wear tfillin by mussaf as it states in the torah to wear tfillin v’dok.
reb daniel: Keep in mind that a chazzan must meet certain qualifications as spelled out in Shulchan Aruch. As for the piyutim it is the minhag of those who (claim to) follow the vilna gaon not to say any piyutim, and to daven the rest slowly and with feeling. If you will say the avoda on yom kippur, nusach sefard is preferable as it is more easily understood.
Depends if it’s an up-hat or a down-hat. But why wear a hat at all? Are you Italian?
Dash: Actually the tuma of a nida is more chamur than that of a temei meis. But you’re a woman so I will not teach you torah.

It gets harmful when one spends too much time here.
Then why is the crisis among the non-yeshivish as well?
Mr. Short. Why were you rejected?
There are many barriers in the frum world that need to be changed. Like the yeshiva system, the ‘davening’, the “my rebbe is the only tzaddik” syndrome, ‘kollel for everyone’ malady, narrowmindedness in certain areas of Halacha, and others. Hashem is breaking down the barriers in the world in general in order to prepare the way for mashiach who will introduce the world to a shleimus that will be bli metzarim.
ishto kegufo. boy do you have a lot to learn.
I pray for the downfall of Israel and the rise of Bnei Yisrael.
wow looks like people are getting desperate to start threads
pretty spot on. RELEVANCE PLEASE?!
One reason it came was to give us an opportunity to do chesed by helping our brothers who were affected. Did you utilize the opportunity? You still can.
He won because a few senior citizens in Florida said “Hey,look how well he handled the hurricane. Did you hear what Gov. Christie said about him? If he could handle that, he could handle anything.” So they went and voted for him and he won Florida and the election by a few thousand votes.
perhaps you might consider not going to seminary at all. it is not necessary you know. you can be a very good wife and mother without going to seminary.
Hashem brought a mini-mabul to wash away the tumah found in the coastal areas. We are all positively affected by that. It is sad that it had to be done this way.
wow. you are really bored.
yes. and the husband is obligated to support her.
I think Romney will win, Israel will bomb Iran, and Mashiach will come. What do you think?
Right. Nothing at all changed. Right.
Modern Orthodoxy is apikorsus. In other words, the ones who are ‘kashrus and shabbos observant’ are also off the derech.
I would not marry a divorcee if I was single. Too risky. You’ll never get the whole story. (However there can be an exception to this in extraordinary circumstances).
Negia of chiba is assur, and yehareg v’al yavor, as mentioned above. Negia not of chiba (like paying at a cash register) is permitted l’chatchila.
You sound surprised. Welcome to N.Y.
Depends if the drinks are hot. Fairly simple.
If you’re a tzadik yourself. It takes one to know one.
ok. so that means he probably won’t be mesayem again next week.
the people you’re speaking about are not bnei torah. they only look like it externally.
kollel or the army? neither. leave israel.
you recall incorrectly. tefillin was worn all day. it was not merube begadim because tefillin is not a beged.
How many people are actually being mesayem shas? (Is the rebbe being mesayem shas?)
Chassidus should be introduced into the yeshiva system. They will no longer be hanging out in the coffee room. I’m not kidding.
Haleivi: please explain why we should keep shabbos on friday. thanks.
If he himself is lo higia lehora’a he must ask someone who is. It’s that simple.
I think six months notice should be enough time. I don’t get why anyone would want to abolish it. As for what to do with the extra second, of course there really is no extra second. Just like when you change the clock you don’t actually gain or lose an hour.
I suggest doing what you like to do. You can be the one to start a “frum” way of performing and design. There’s got to be a demand for that. I once had an idea of doing frum motion pictures. I’m a good actor and I knew steven segal from his younger days(if you never heard of him that’s good). He used to be a frum boy like me, but he couldn’t resist the temptation of hollywood. I resisted and I’m happy I passed the test. I think you’ll find your niche in the frum world. There are frum productions out there and you can design for frum companies. Hatzlacha!
As Rav Shachter said, this is very complicated. In general, when one reaches the level where he ‘knows’ that his opinion can be relied upon, he can pasken for himself. When he receives permission from his teacher he can pasken for others. But one should not pasken from books. They are a useful aid but cannot take the place of a live poseik.
Do you have chashivus for anything? This might be a self-esteem issue…
Please see the next few words of the mishna. Sheyegias shneihem mashkachas avon. Nowadays with the ‘outside’ world being the way it is, which “road”, in general, is more mashkachas avon? The working road or the kollel road? By the way the Rambam’s example of torah im derech eretz is learning nine hours and working three(Talmud Torah 1-12). Popa, you hit the nail on the head.
mdd: no he was not, but he was a fan of living very simply, and that can be done without going to college. I agree with 2sense 100%(a rarity for me).
Sam:Please tell us who Chavakuk’s father was.Thanks
kfb: I don’t think that’s the answer but carrying a weapon and learning how to use it is a good idea. But perhaps we should stop building such fancy houses and having such fancy cars. Anti-semitism comes from jealousy. And it doesn’t help to have so many jews holding political office, even some very high positions, especially when the economy isn’t doing that great. Remember that the head of the federal reserve is jewish(surprise!)
If Mitt comes out on top I think I’ll vote for Hussein. I’d rather a guy who is clearly full of it, than a guy who pretends to be what he is not. Mitt has been vacillating on key issues for many years in order to get votes(you can check that out). He is doing the same here. I was hoping Newt would win and he still might.
Anyone with true yiras shamayim would have a VERY GREAT FEAR of eating something not kosher. If you were aware that something non-kosher definitely causes cancer, would you just check the ingredients and eat it? You can be sure that eating something non-kosher is far worse for a son or daughter of the King than the worst cancer. You should follow your Rav, but in the absence of a personal psak, be very very careful about what you eat.
It cannot apply to yomtov since it is permitted to light candles on yomtov. As for yom kippur,lighting is a minhag for some, not a chiyuv like shabbos(see Shulchan Aruch O.C.610). It does not apply there either.
