nycvoter1 – If he is sitting next to you, cover his pile with a neat open tissue. This is not the time to be Mr. Nice Guy.
Naysberg – In that case, I hope he blows quietly so that he doesn’t disturb anyone with the noise; the nose knows.
I know someone who beat it by claiming that she was on the way to the hospital to have her baby; she was being truthful.
“So please explain to us all exactly WHAT someone seated far from any trashbin, without pushing over many people in middle of davening, is to do on Shabbos after blowing his nose.”
Do what all decent people do; they walk over to the trash and make a deposit, until the next blow. And how long does it take to walk to the trash can in your shul? And what do you do if you need to use the facilities or whatever and it’s “far” and you don’t want to push over people; let it rip in middle of davening? I hope not, Naysberg. So do everyone a toiva and get rid of your snotty tissues and whatever.
Naysberg – “The only effective remedy for this crisis is that shul’s strategically place many trashbin’s throughout the shul near all the tables.”
I assure you Naysberg your solution is doomed to failure because a slob is always a slob. They will find every excuse why they are that way but kibud bais haknesses and kavode habrios is not one of them.
The Goq – thank you for digging up those posts; I don’t keep a file. But they are 100% the truth, and you know it.
I posted them, and others, in the spirit of Penina taunting Chana. I have had singles coming over for the past forty years and some from the early years still do. Others have married along the way, we recently had a +40’s marriage. And there is hardly anything that I post that is original, I’m not that clever.
Life is very short and what do you have to lose? Just marry and get some lifelong companionship and giving. It doesn’t say anywhere in the Torah that a marriage needs to be eternal happiness, but it’s a lot better than a single’s existence.
Health, I’m glad to see that you agree with me.
“Is it bc of supporting the state of Israel”
Israel is great, we proclaim that at least three times a day.
“bc of tzniyus reasons”
Yes, why muddy up a mitzva with marchers who look like zonas.
“or bc of bitul Torah”
People need to relax sometimes.
It’s assur for men to go.
“Is that a problem coming as it does from the bones of fish, or are bones different?”
Not a problem.
There is no excuse. If I put my snotty tissues in the trash, you can too. It is miyus and assur to davin in front of a used tissue. I can’t imagine a normal person doing such disgusting things; it just ekels me.
Did it ever occur to you that either he or his wife just doesn’t like you? It happens. It happened to me in my shul. Someone with whom I have a wonderful relationship with was making a wedding and I didn’t get an invitation. So I asked him if it was an oversight and he fumphet some excuse and I realized that it was his wife. It’s not the end of the world.
“Rav Harari didn’t speak at the Kinus since he speaks in Ivrit, and they wanted all the speeches to be in only Yiddish and English.”
Who are “they”?
And are you saying that if Rav Harari spoke English or Yiddish, that he would have been invited to address the Asifa?
And how do you know that he doesn’t?
The Six Day War is in my recent memory.
Can’t go; it’s in English.
“The Roshei Yeshivos shlit”a’s, who are great gedolim, took the extremely rare occasion to empty their yeshivos (including the largest Yeshiva of the all – Lakewood) for the Kinus Klal Yisroel Asifa. They never in recent memory have done so (not for rallies, not for tehilim asifas, etc.)”
They did it during the Six Day War to send a message to our government not to abandon Israel.
Our holy Rabbonim and Rosh Yeshivas and Bobbes and Zaidies in America years ago drank and ate cholov stam and non-glatt meat; but don’t you dare tell me that they were eating traif.
To look for a job? Oy Vey!
There is no doubt in my mind that the Moshiach will be announced all over the world to everyone at precisely the same instant, via the Internet.
I’m having steak.
Yidden spoke English before they spoke Yiddish.
My posek says that I have to eat in the Sukkah on Shmini Atzeres and keep zmanim for davening. What is their heter for not following these psak halachos in the Shulchan Aruch?
Why do you say that it would be hypocritical? Is it assur to see/hear Torah via the Internet? Certainly not!
“Tell that to 750,000 frum yidden and bnei Torah across the globe to whom Yiddish is the mama loshon”
That’s a bobbe mai’se. A bi g’ret.
DaasYochid – “Yiftach b’doro k’Shmuel b’doro”.
You are correct, but I’m just stating a fact.
kfb – “When they come out and say smoking is assur min hatorah then I will get filters for my Internet!”
I agree. But they will argue that they have filters for their cigarettes.
Oiye! If only Rav Moshe were here today, yiddish and all. Problem is, most of the speakers are relatively new to the Gadol position and we need a caliber or yesteryear’s Gadol to get us through this.
If more people would take a good look at the reality of motor vehicle smash-ups, perhaps they would concentrate of their driving a little bit more. DMV has programs for drivers wishing to restore their invalid licenses which include films showing all the gory details. So thank you YW for the community service.
There was one YU Rosh Yeshiva on the dais.
akuperma – “I use unfiltered telephone…”
While I attended the Asifa and have mixed opinions about it, I could not have said it better than akuperma did.
“…unfiltered internet is assur under any and all circumstances…Unfiltered internet is eating chazir and having a treif kitchen.”
Excuse me, but I will take these words seriously when I hear the poskim and Rabbonim proclaim publically to their flocks, their chasidim and talmidim; that smoking is assur under any and all circumstances, and that smoking is eating chazir and having a treif kitchen.
We all know that smoking is the cause of early death, young widowed wives and orphans, kids off the derech, broken famalies, money and sholom bais problems; to name a few. So how about it G’dolim, with all due respect?
Figures lie and liars figure. “70% of Orthodox Jews are Ultra-Orthodox” is phoney bologna wishful thinking.
Obama changes his positions when it comes to gays and has finally come out of the closet.
There are thousands of Rabbis who have various functions outside the pulpit, such as: they teach in religious schools; supervise kashrus; work for frum organizations and agencies; work for kiruv; are shochtim or mohelim; have smicha but hold regular jobs; etc. Their wives are not Rebbetzins.
I have always found airlines to be reasonable with reasonable customers.
If you explain in advance that you are needed to assist your parents on flight and don’t want to annoy other passengers when you need to climb over them, they will get the point.
Never use your religion as a device to accommodate your whims; airline personnel are professionals and they will see right through you. And if you don’t get your way; so what? Be polite at all times and never ever create a chillul Hashem.
This thread is specifically for heteirim, we know where to find the chumras.
While the wife of a King is a Queen, most Rabbis are not Kings.
“Any woman becomes Rebbetzin by virtue of her marriage to a Rabbi.”
In fact, while all Rebbetzins are or have been married to Rabbis, most Rabbis are not married to Rebbetzins.
A Rebbetzin is the First Lady of the shul; it’s an honorary title like Rebbetzin Obama.
There are special potties made for Tisha B’av which is 11 inches high and conforms to halacha. At Eichler’s, they can be found next to the Shabbos bathroom paper and across the aisle from the chametz packets which sell for only $1.99 each. They are wonderful as the ten pieces come individually double wrapped and you get the b’racha included as well. America, what a wonderful country!
Actually, it was the custom of the goyim 200 years ago (and even on the golf course today); they called it knickers and socks. So the gerrer are quite GQ savvy.
So, let’s say, if some recording artist at, let’s say, Jewish Music, Inc., by the name of, let’s say, JJJ, uses a Carlbach tune without permission, as his own, and now Jewish Music, Inc. says it’s assur to copy; that’s ok? (All names are made up).
What did he allegedly do?
If streets are closed, it will lead to chilil shabbos and other aveiros: people will start shpatzrin with their wives and saying good shabbos to other couples; baby carriages will be pushed; kids will play in the street and forget what a shabbos is supposed to be; people will think you can carry as well; how are mail and other packages going to be delivered- your neighbors are going to be pretty angry with you, avhaben; the goyim will be upset and you need to consider their feelings.
Go to any tzadik and especially to one who is a kohen.
Mod 18, you can’t agree with popa and then add onion soup mix. That’s as silly as adding a can of chicken soup to your chicken soup. Don’t over season the cholent because it will overpower the actual taste of the dish. However, I do a cholent similar to Popa but have little or no beans. You can try premium chuck instead of flankin; after hours of simmering it’s as good as or better than flankin. Also bury some turkey pupik and cheek meat in the mixture, and lay a chicken feesil and turkey neck across the top. Try it and you will repeat. Ketchup; tomato sauce; feh!
Try to find a certified geyoress; that way there are no problems with yichus or minhagim. It was good for Moshe Rabeinu, Yohoshua, and many other biblical and torah leaders. There is also the advantage that there are no inbred diseases.
Chazal advise us to marry our sons to a bas talmud chochem and that excludes superlamdones because he is a total am ha’aretz and possesses a garbage mouth.
While Rav Moshe holds that music is assur all the time, except for Mitzva; he matirs it if we need it to calm our nerves. This same heter may apply during s’fira. Live singing without the aid of a mike may be mutir since there is no kli to enhance the sound into music.
When did the prohibition of cutting the hair of the head get the inclusion of beard hair?
Almost all of the intelligent posters have been censored or deleted out of the CR. So what you’ve got left is a lot of bla, bla, ho hum, yawn.
“brisk bocurim vs. other yeshivos”
I don’t know about other yeshivos; but in Brisk, the bochrim prefer Lipton.
cantoresq-rabbiofberlin
Where is the source for not shaving a beard during s’fira? Shulchan Aruch?
“am I being unreasenabnle in only looking at bochurim who went to brisk yeshiva?”
It depends; how large is your bank balance?
