@hml, grandparents should smile for the pictures maybe offer to host a sheva bruchos other then that should mind the own business. If my parents / inlaws stuck the nose into my kids shidduchim I would very politly tell them to go fly a kite.

AAQ, you mention that story in three prior forums

@AAQ,Exactly my point a Rav understands how to read between the lines if it means not wearing a mask or understanding that there is no meat at the table, I get it but you dont because you feel no need to ask a rav

@ Reb E and the common demoninator with your story and my comment is?
That am ratzim pasken the own saylios? if thats the case I am 1000% in agreement with you.

@AAQ “as with a guy who asked a shaila whether he can make arba kosot on milk. Rav gave him money for wine – and also for meat.”
That guy could have paskened on his own and not asked a shaila and used milk after all he may have read it on Rabbi Google that you can

The mods are very open in allowing a wide ranges of topic and opinions, if you write something that attacks the commenter on a personal level, they will edit it.
If you write an obvious trollish topic they will not publish it, even so they let quite a number to be posted

@AAQ, opinions are like store everyone has at least 2 and they stink for the most part, you just admitted that you use daas torah if and when it is in line with your particular agenda otherwise you disregard it, you feel that mask wearing is the mitzvah of the year, someone else calls it the avodah zorah of the year, other people feel its like red lights, midtown gridlock or constipation a necessary burden of daily living.
Is it the mitzva of the year or the avodah zorah of the year or none of the above, for that guidance I consult with my LOR not some self proclaimed expert of social media

in other words NO

@AAQ, 1. in my case the Rav who I asked knows me since I was born and my family even before that, he told us very explict instuctions and made it clear that is for his shul and his shul only over the past year, outdoor social distance minyan for exactly 10 people then indoors same rules, then no limit on size, then each to his/her own, anyone who didnt feel comfortable didnt have to daven in his shul.
2. Dont know as I dont have school age children, I assume the school that my grandchild attend got guidance from the rabbical board of the schools [in my case 4 differnt schools in 3 seperate locals]
3. I have not idea what your question to me is.

Now let me ask you one question, if bais din or the local rabbis who have came out with a letter totally dismissing the use of masks and saying one should not use it would you have listened to “daas torah” do you only do it when it matches your agenda? I want you to be 100% honest, Yes or No?

@AAQ
“why are you repeatedly accusing me of some non-kosher connections? I am following guidelines by the local beit din ” this is the first time that you said you follow daas torah, you constantly dismiss the idea that a Rav knows better, now that you took this first step to follow it when your daas torah fits your agenda let make it your business to follow it even its contrary to agenda.

“Any thoughts?” yes you shold be cleaning for peasch instead of trolling

everyone run the sder according to the minhag and misorah, our family for example does not talk out during the entire magid from halachma anya till goal yisroel even to say divray torah, so each to his/her own

@AAQ, nothing personal but edited Milton Friedman said it best. “A Friedman Doctrine: The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase Its Profits”. In it, he argued that a company has no social responsibility to the public or society; its only responsibility is to its shareholders.

Spirit said it in as many words, the CEO said it our job to get you from point A to point B no different then the subway, anything extra you are going to pay for it, and if the plane does not fly thats too bad.

If @ Catchyourself can beat them at their own game more power to him, fact of the matter is 60% of Spirits revenue come from ancilary fees and the airlines as a whole take in about 8 B in baggage fees.
You really need to do some serious soul searching if your idea of tzedoka is low airfares and idea of terchah dtzibur is having them answer amain

Catch Yourself, Fyi I check a random date in the end of April NYC to Fla and guess what these were the RT prices
Frontier 57
United 81
Jetblue 81
American 99
Delta 107
Spirt 115

Do whatever your family minhag is, same old true for the egg at the seder

Eric Adams is a empty suit

Airbnb

Its a fairly easy investment, live life a yid, daven with a minyan answer amin, do 100 mitzvos each day and you get prime real estate after 120

“until Israel completely disconnects itself from the USA , she has a voice and and opinion in how the USA deals with Israel.” BH there are 430 other normal congresspeople and 5 haters.
“Therefore, Blacks are the judges of who are racists and white supremacists. (By the way – you are included.)
Is that fair and reasonable?” please pose that question to BLM and NAACP because ipso facto that is the case

@AAQ, FYI I hold a ACAS and a CPCU certifcation so its my job too, and I still defer to a Rabbi or Doctor.
History littered with malcontents who from the Doson and Averum to Korach to the Tzedukim to the Maskilm who said all you need to do is interpret according to your understanding and to heck with the Rabbis
