“They used to say that the Gerrer Rebbe had thousands of chassidim who eat on yom kippur.”
Who’s “they?” The elders of Lubavitch who like to spread weird, slanderous stories about other Chassidusim?Also, what does this have to do with anything?
Children.
There are actually two separate points here; what the best response is, and whether or not the OP’s response was acceptable.
The easier one is the second. It clearly wasn’t. You may not like Joseph’s analogy, and you may choose to ignore him, but that doesn’t make his point wrong. He, and DaMoshe, and apushatayid, and 5ish, and CA are correct.
As far as the correct response, I don’t see how you can ignore the affront to the Torah. How to show disagreement with the sentiment expressed is hard to say, especially not knowing the co-worker or the relationship.
What does “he officer mean”?
Ubiquitin’s Law of the Internet strikes again!

when I heard the story from R’ Shurkin, he implied quite strongly that it was Hadras Panim Zaken.
So very likely, this lowlife is putting down R Moshe because of a personal vendetta.
Was that this guy’s book?
Mah inyan shmita eitzel har Sinai?
Is there some sort of heikish between shaving and timers?Wolfson/Miriamson/Wiener and Joseph are living in an alternative universe where everyone only follows the psakim of one posek.
Of course, in reality, it’s not nearly that simple. For various reasons, certain psakim become widely accepted, and some don’t.
Perhaps it is those who publicize the heter of the Igros Moshe (and not those who are concerned that the opposing opinions are omitted) are the ones who are disrespecting him.
No, look in the mirror, buddy. You’re the one disrespecting him. His heter was well known and he never made it a secret. Saying it’s not valid enough to rely on is disrespectful.
Those who adopt the leniencies of the Igros Moshe often do so without halachic sanction.
That’s the disgusting comment I was referring to. Shameful.
You guys are taking it too far. Yes, R’ Moshe held it was muttar. He didn’t hold it was a mitzvah. There’s no kiddush Hashem to shave.
I am concerned because I see some people trying to minimize the Kavod and Gadlus of Rav Moshe Feinstein ztsal because they have an agenda to disallow shavers.
I agree. The author of הדרת פנים זקן had the audacity to write that his psak is not one which can legitimately be followed. He should go to R’ Moshe zt”l’s kever and beg mechilah.
What do football fans do?
We should be able to have at least as much mesiras nefesh.
Frummest or Phrummest?
ubiquitin’s law of the internet
Lol
What then is the halachic reason it is done by those who hold it must be done?
You’ll have to ask them. I’m not sure what “must be done” means. Are those who didn’t do it not married l’halacha?
Meshicha is not a valid kinyan for kiddushin.
DrYidd, yes they are, see רמ”א posted above.
Whats the issue?
The רמ”א in אה”ע כ”א ה says public displays of affection between husbands and wives are אסור.
If they are hourly wages, they’ll get paid more for more hours.
Even a pay cut isn’t slavery. I don’t know if it’s a good idea to treat staff that way, but how is this a government issue?
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.

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.
