Unommin, you are being ridiculous. There are no rabbis today who posses “true-Torah-knowledge” according to your definition, therefore they must often do further research, in matters both wordly and heavenly.
The frum crowd, of course.
calling Shabbos “Saturday.”
I call it Shabbos to sound frum.
Sadly, many yidden are simply not willing to pay the cost of the top of the line ingredients and culinary
That’s not sad.
IIRC, slightly more boys are born than girls. By marriageable age, there are more girls than boys (more boys die during childhood).
Maybe the numbers are exactly even for Jews. Nobody ever did an exact study.
They give guarantees?
Yehudayona,
1. Maybe there are, but our shidduch system is set up so that they’re not looking to get married at the same time.
2. & 3. I agree, והשתא דאתית להכי you might be right about #1, just that it’s not proof.
4. Non Jews do have marriage, just no kiddushin or gitin.
Avi K – If the Shadchan decides not to offer you a shidduch that is really your bashert then it is the Shadchan to blame.
Who’s “the” shadchan? There’s only one in the world and he’s responsible for anyone who’s not married because they haven’t found their bashert?
“when the Gemara says that Hashem decides the Zivhugim for every fetus at conception”
How does that fit with marrying more than 1 wife, which was prevalent in Klal Yisroel until Cheirem Rabbeinu Gershom, some 1500 years ago?
I don’t understand the question. Why can’t there be two bas kols – bas ploni l’ploni, and bas ploni l’ploni.
Perhaps the second would be a zivug sheini. Then again, very possibly the first wife is also a zivug sheini.
DY: How would you answer your own question?
That I have no idea, and neither does anyone here, so to speculate whether any subgroup marries their “bashert” is pointless.
How many of us actually marry our “bashert”?
You wanna keep Ashkenaz Havara?
No. I want to say “ameilus”. And “lomdus”. And “taleisim”. Etc. And it really doesn’t matter that you think they’re not real words. I’ll use them anyway.
Oh, by the way, “wanna” isn’t really a word.
Shtusim
Lol
Anyone can participate, and I think it’s not run by frum people. I don’t know why there shouldn’t at least be a question.
Thinking out loud, it depends on where it’s grown, not eaten.
There may be minhag hamakom in Eretz Yisroel not to rely on the lenient opinions relied upon in America and Europe, but that’s a different matter.
As far as powdered milk, many poskim discussed it. Famously, Rav Tzvi Pesach Frank was mattir, and interestingly, he was actually referring to milk powder which came from the US.
The Chazon Ish argues on the powdered milk Kula (although was mattir based on the sevara of the Pri Chodosh). I’ve seen a couple of sources that the Chazon Ish was only mattir under very difficult circumstances.
Yes, we all know there are some well known roshei yeshivos whose fathers and or grandfathers were gedolim, but it’s by no means exclusive.
There are some gedolim who don’t have famous sons, and some famous roshei yeshivos whose fathers and grandfathers were not so we’ll known.
I don’t know about the others, but R’ Dovid Feinstein zt”l (Rav Moshe’s father) was huge.
To play devil’s advocate, it’s much harder to find in the last few decades. But you’re right, there are definitely well known gedolim whose fathers were not.
It’s not exclusively true, although it is common. And it’s not surprising that a gadol b’Torah would be a gadol b’chinuch too, or that someone who grew up surrounded by gadlus should be more likely to become a gadol.
Why lehavdil?
If anyone would know, it would be you.
it’s kind of silly to pretend it’s not true
What’s silly is to pretend that anyone claims yichus isn’t a factor at all.
Except every Chassidishe Rebbe ever. I don’t think it would be totally inaccurate to say the yeshivish world is also moving more towards being yichis-based.
That’s a gross exaggeration for chassidim, and an even grosser one for roshei yeshivos.
Not that yichus doesn’t have an impact, but there are plenty of cases where the son isn’t worthy and therefore doesn’t take over, and by roshei yeshivos, even where they do take over, that doesn’t mean they are considered a gadol. That has to be earned.
As I pointed out, though you could argue that the above isn’t neccesarily true, since there is no way to know how a real popular vote would have gone, as the campaigns would be different, and perhaps more people who feel their votes don’t count, like NY republicans, would vote but that’s is not what you said
I, however, did say that, and it’s a compelling argument to not care about the popular vote.
Alabama, Alaska, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi
The biggest arguments against caring about who won the popular vote are:
1) That’s not out system
2) Since it’s not our system, the candidates aren’t trying to win the popular election, and projecting who would win a popular election by counting votes in an electoral college election is not valid.Again my point is in the battle for winning the most diverse cross section of opinions in the country, which is sort of the rationale behind the electoral college, trump won.
No, your point was that aside from NY and CA, Trump won the popular vote. Removing them is as silly as removing the biggest red states, where they’d vote for a pickle if it had an “R” next to it.
Against women’s suffrage
Being a fool is not a contradiction to being a genius.
Kehilas Beis Sholom is in Clifton, not Passaic.
Based on what you wrote i have a hypothetical question:
Suppose i have a ac running all week long . Goes on at different intervals throughout the day/ night via a 24 hour timer. According to reb moshe would i need to disconnect it before shabbos or can i let it run through out the entire week including shabbos.I would think assur according to R’ Moshe.
(Bumped because laskern just mentioned this thread and I don’t remember seeing t2’s question)
Laskern, my answer here was not according to R’ Moshe.
DY, What do you think of putting room temperature food on a cool hot plate which later be turned on with a shabbos clock and will reach yad soledes bo?
Dies the food have liquid in it? What type of hot plate is it?
It’s probably not assur mei’kar hadin either way, but I’ve seen poskim say not to set a coffee maker for Shabbos morning because of zilzul Shabbos, and that may apply here as well.
You’re comparing the frummest Litvaks to chassidim.
I’m comparing not so frum Litvaks to not so frum Lubavichers.
CA, make a new account.
UB, you can tell if someone is blocked because it says “blocked” next their screen name instead of “participant”
YA, this has nothing to do with chassidim vs. non chassidim. The very frum yeshivish don’t read read it the same way the very chassidish Lubavichers don’t read it. And vice versa.
If someone is mekabel shabbos early, can he tell someone who has not, to do something for him?
Assuming the whole tzibbur wasn’t mekabel early, it seems that most poskim are meikil. See שו”ע רס”ג י”ז and מג”א, ט”ז, ומ”ב.
In reality, there are so many great Shabbos afternoon meals that can be served cold, there is no reason to bother with a blech
Yes there is. There is a long standing, universal minhag to have hot food on Shabbos day.
If I am machmir and the person I am invited to as a guest is not, can I eat there?
Yes. See משנה ברורה שי”ח ב that where it’s a מחלוקת, there’s no problem of מעשה שבת which is an איסור דרבנן.
In context, laskern was referring to the congealed fat found on chicken and meat, and it is indeed permitted warm that up, according to some, in some circumstances.
As usual, RGP displays either am ha’aratzus or intentional distortion of the halacha, while insulting those who correctly disagree with him.
I honestly don’t think the mods should allow his posts.
If that’s in the USDA regulations, the biggest companies are violating those regulations, because International Delight and Coffee-Mate don’t say “non-dairy” on them.
Ok folks – NEWS FLASH!
I’m not sure why you have such a low opinion of Chabad that you think it’s newsworthy that some Chabad houses actually keep some halachos. Where’s your Ahavas Yisroel??!!
I haven’t seen even once the ta’ana that they don’t eat seudah shlishis! Why is that?!
Start a new thread
Now you’re being silly. במקום can mean “in the same place as”, as in kiddush b’makom seudah, or “in place of”, as the Mogen Avraham is using it here. To read into the Mogen Avraham that you can be yotzei with divrei Torah is just another of your infamous distortions.
Note that the Kaf Hachayim does not claim to be explaining the Mogen Avraham, just the Rashbi.
He also doesn’t say he did it every week; in fact, he brings the Zohar as the M.A. does, that he only did it on erev Pesach.
In theory, the reason the K.H. ascribes to the Rashbi not eating shalishudis on erev Pesach should apply the whole year, yet he doesn’t claim that he did it the whole year. Presumably, even the Rashbi only relied on the “shvilei d’shmaya” sevara when he couldn’t eat pas.
I totally follow. There are zero sources which allow us to not eat shalishudis.
The Mogen Avraham is not saying we can skip shalishudis. Not even on erev Pesach, since we hold we can be yotzei b’dieved with peiros. He is bringing the Rashbi as an opinion that peiros aren’t sufficient, but isn’t paskening that way for erev Pesach.
So what you quoted as Shulchan Aruch is not in the Shulchan Aruch, not in the Nosei Keilim, and not in any of the mainstream poskim.
Maybe you found some online article which says it, but you haven’t found any real source, let alone in Shulchan Aruch as you claimed.
clearly the Kaf Hachayim applies this Zohar to EVERY seuda shlishis, not just shabbos of erev pessach
Clearly, the Kaf Hachayim says we must actually eat to be mekayem seudah shlishis.
Rashbi also didn’t daven three times a day, but we obviously must.
The מגן אברהם clearly says it was במקום סעודה שלישית, not that he was מקיים it.
Indeed, the 3 seudos are based on the 3 times it says “Hayom” by the mon, yet the 3rd time it says “Hayom Lo”, hence the dispensation for having a seudah without the full requirements of a seuda
Apparently, that’s not the opinion of the Rashbi, who skipped seuda shlishlis on erev Pesach and didn’t substitute peiros.
Thus it appears that according to the Zohar, the obligation to eat the Third Meal can be fulfilled via Torah study.
No it doesn’t. It appears that if you can’t eat seudah shlishis, such as on erev Pesach, you should learn.
