if so it may fall under the concept of “ein ldavar sof”
Just because you don’t know where to draw the line doesn’t mean there isn’t one. Hamburgers, hot dogs, and pizza are not Shabbosdik. They’re considered casual fare in general.
or divrei torah (as per shulchan oruch)
Where in S.A. does it say divrei Torah is valid for the third seuda?
They are legally required to label these products “non-dairy”
Did you read that somewhere, or is that just an assumption? I’m pretty sure there are coffee creamers which do not say “non-dairy” on them.
If indeed this was a michshol (I don’t think it is, for a couple of reasons), although the OU couldn’t force a company to change their labels, they could refuse to certify.
I don’t see why they should, though.
What’s the difference between הגהות and ציונים?
they claimed that hagen left the world in charge of the sun and the moon, very different than a tzaddik that Hashem put into the world in indeed to help us connect to Hashem.
So you’re okay with ch”v davening to the sun and moon as a way to connect with Hashem?
RGP, instead of defending Chabad by attacking Litvaks, why don’t you actually defend their actions and hashkafos?
And if you’re going to go with the parallel attack method, they should at least be on target. When the best you can do is make inapt comparisons, it weakens your position.
Chossid, when the best you can do is call someone a hater because of hashkafic challenges, it doesn’t defend your position well.
Meaning that the problem of a memutzah is like quoted above that it’s asking something else not Hashem
That’s not what you said earlier. “Asking” someone else and “davening to” someone else are synonymous. It’s called avoda zara.
since the tzaddik is so connected and nullified to Hashem connecting to the tzaddik connects u to Hashem directly
The early ovdei avoda zara rationalized that way about the son and the moon.
Joseph, sorry you don’t think asking sensitive personal questions isn’t mussar-worthy.
Joseph, I’m sorry you haven’t accepted the mussar you were given.
The live callers are the greatest challenge.
I hang up on them too.
I looked up that Sicha and what the rebbe asks is how can we ask the rebbe to ask for us…which is normally assur mitzad memmutzah
Since when is it assur to daven for someone? We all do that all the time.
the question is why is the name achron shel pessach only used for pessach?
Which other day should be called “Acharon shel Pesach”?
You know how Torah teaches that bread is spiritually higher than its ingredients because of the transformation from wheat (and other ingredients) into lechem during baking?
No, I don’t. Maybe you mean that It serves its function better, and anything which physical which can help one serve Hashem has ruchniyus value, but I don’t see how that applies to how one prefers their steak.
You’re asking altz אין איסור חל על איסור?
The שונרא and כלבא were both wrong
I was suggesting my humble opinion on the matter that this does in fact get the status of a Minhag
That’s beyond silly.
KRM in boro park was charging $40/lb for Chareidim
So if I walk in with a kippah srugah, I’ll pay less?
Balanceisthekey: when you post a total distortion of Yiddishkeit, expect to be mocked. It’s a mitzvah. Leitzanusa d’avoda zara.
Your implication that the poskim who hold to keep two days are illogical is obnoxious.
A little more humility is in order.
RGP, you mean the Or Sameach.
Simcha is definitely a GIRL’S name.
It is also definitely a boy’s name.
I’ve heard Simcha and Yona for both, but I never heard of Micha or Noam for a female.
You were writing troll posts in the same style in 2012.
This exact thing happened to me last week, so I said, “Excuse me Sir, your finger is in my soup,” so he responded, “Oh it’s okay. It’s not that hot.”
It really wasn’t. I deserved a better tip than that.
Interesting question.
A few things to consider:
Human beings aren’t actually a b’heima t’meia. If the issur is kavod hameis, live taam wouldn’t be a problem. Also, the taam is lifgam. If you’re right about the taam from a live being not giving taam, the lobster water would still be assur because the lobster dies at some point.
From R’ Moshe Dovid Lebovits Kashrus administrator of the OK and a talmid of Rabbi Belsky.
Boiling three Eggs
People would have a separate egg pot or cook three eggs at a time so if one of them would have a blood spot, it would be butel b’rov and all the eggs would be permitted This is not necessary today, since the chance of finding a blood spot is very minimal since the eggs are not fertilized. Based on this, there is no reason to have a separate egg pot.As I think I mentioned, others disagree.
I am biding my time, but I will get him back for that one. It’s been 40 years, and he will never see me coming…
Any updates?
RGP:
1) I believe R Moshe is meikil but others are machmir (I just saw that R Moshe Sternbuch is machmir.
2) That’s a good point, I was thinking about the egg itself, the pot would need 60.
3) It’s all a minhag anyhow, I suppose the minhag was not to that it any worse than a safek, and safek d’rabbonon l’kula.
Who says it’s b’dieved?
It’s fine l’chatchilah do eat them, I just mean it’s better to check when possible.
Honest question. I know treif needs 60 (even though min hatorah 2:1 suffices), so if there is a real concern of a treif egg – especially if one is later discovered, ALL the eggs plus the pot would be treif unless there was a ratio of 60:1 kosher.
Mei’kar hadin, we’re not choshesh for an egg coming from a treifa or having a blood spot. We go according to rov, and in fact we eat food made with unchecked b’dieved.
However, Yisroel kedoshim heim, and a minhag developed to boil three eggs so that in case one is no good, at least m’d’Oraisa it will be batel. (Davar sheb’minyan is also a d’rabbonon.)
The minhag was never to do 61 or to asser b’dieved. I don’t know is 61 would even help, because this is not a taam issue.
Are you trolling, or do you really not know the answer to this? If you sincerely would like to know the basis of the minhag of cooking three eggs, I’d be happy to explain, but if you’re trolling, I have no interest.
Its an advertisement to the women to not make simchas Yom Tov a hostage to your unnecessary need to clean every inch of the house when there’s absolutely no need to do so.
Do your spring cleaning at your leisure AFTER Pesach
Which parts of Pesach cleaning do you think are necessary, which aren’t necessary but commendable, and which are completely overkill?
The Kalever famous hungarian song was a popular peasant song. We can be mekadesh the nigunim.
If the source is secular, you can be mekadesh it. If the song comes from a”z, it’s mechuar, and if the lyrics remain, it’s assur.
The nigun is not a’z, after changing the words.
1) It would still be mechuar (disgusting).
2) The reports are saying that the words are largely the same. If those reports are true, it would be a”z.
For a song to be avoda zara, it does not need to include any names of avoda zara.
R’ Moshe assers gospel songs with words of Psalms, (i.e. Tehillim) if made by non Jews, since we assume the intent is for avoda zara.
Even if it were sung wordlessly, it would be mechuar hadavar, and we would dismiss a chazan who insisted on singing it, so why would anyone defend it? In fact, though, if the words remain largely intact and the theme is the same, it should be assur m’dina.
I should clsrify that I never heard any version of the song, I’m just saying what the halacha is assuming the reports of the origins are true.
This is from a review on Mostly Music:
SONG BASED AND A COPY OF A IDOL-WORSHIP/PAGAN MUSIC / SONG
Song and tune is very nice – but just found out and a quick google search confirms it to be true – this song
the tune AND Words is a totally Pagan
I.e. Avodah Zora song
Google the song “strong wind, deep water’ the tune is exact same
as well as words/chant of Ay ya Ay ya yo etc… and the words are the same thing just in English with some minor variations it was made by pagan earth/nature worshippers.
so listening to this song can involve
Some serious issurim….
It might sound too crazy TB true, but do u want to take that chance ??
It’s one thing to be based on or same as
a non-Jewish song it’s another thing entirely to be based on idol-worshipThe song is about worshipping the earth as a god. All of that is part of it.
The רמ”א says that if a בעל תפלה uses a niggun from a”z, we tell him to stop, and if he doesn’t, we dismiss him.
R’ Ovadiah Yosef (certainly qualifying as at least a daas yochid even for Ashkenazim!) is meikel altogether with ‘transporting nigunnim’ as Avi K quoted above.
We’re not discussing transporting stam secular music, we’re discussing avoda zara.
It is arguable that even R’ Moshe would agree in this case that its ok–not only because some Jews came along and translated the words into Hebrew with the problematic line being left out, but more significantly because even in the world at large, this song–i.e. the tune and general words–seems to be primarily associated with non-inherently-avodah-zarah-groups
The whole theme is avoda zara, and changing one line doesn’t affect that.
Rav Moshe writes that even if they no longer sing it, it remains assur, so whatever association people make won’t change the fact that it’s assur.
And @yeshivishrockstar, how did you even find this song?
He looked it up on Wiccapedia
@DaasYochid Rav Moshe ZT”L seems to be referring to unaltered songs or recordings by an עכו׳ם. He’s certainly not assuring the music itself, but the song and lyrics which are sung for the purpose of Avoda Zora.
He is assuring even if the purpose of that specific performance is not for avoda zara. He talks about Acher, and presumably his kavana was not for avoda zara, but was not allowed to sing those songs.
And if you read the rest of the teshuva, it sounds like he was against pretty much all Jewish pop music, as a lot of Rabbonim were and still are.
That’s not what he is saying, and that’s totally a side point. He rejects that the issur of listening to music after the churban should be why Acher went off, and instead says he sang avoda zara songs.
DY, many of of our tunes (e.g. the popular one for “Maoz Tzur”) come from church music.
That is a popular myth.
Rabbi Shay Tahan on Torahanytime.com based on Igros Moshe Yoreh Deah Chelek Sheni – Teshuva 111 says that according to Rav Moshe the song adama vshomayim would not be assur but would be mechuar hadavar.
If the lyrics are the same, R Moshe assers mei’ikar hadin.
Mechuar hadavar is without the lyrics.
Yserbius, a song which was originally made for avoda zara is actually assur to sing or listen to.
In other words, Trump’s tax reform did exactly what it was supposed to do. Tax the liberals.
The mod was clearly not calling you cute, but for some reason thought what you wrote was cute. No surprise that you distorted what the mod said. At least this time it wasn’t Torah which you distorted.
Makes one wonder what you could have written to get deleted considering the garbage which has gotten posted.
He or she must think jerks are cute.
