☕ DaasYochid ☕

The main reason I do not like this story ,is then you have the problem with the Gemara in Chullin 7a.

Meh. He held it was muttar meikar hadin.

If you still think he wouldn’t have drank cholov stam, so say it was cholov Yisroel but in a cholov stam container, but he wasn’t machzik himself a tzaddik. Either way, it’s a kashya oif a ma’aseh.

And he obviously wore Charles Tyrwhitt, like any good yeshiva bochur, and they’re not made of wool.

Tallis can’t be beged isha

Yosef hatzaddik was the ben zekunim and was rewarded with a colored tunic.

What color is your tunic?

A girl can get an excellent chinuch right here in the USA, going to seminary in E. Y. In an overrated luxury.

Yeah, but doesn’t sending a girl to a domestic seminary ruin a girl’s chances at a good shidduch?

What are you referring to.

Halachic definition of death.

Also, that quote regarding milk is contradicted by what we have from R’ Moshe’s writings.

I agree with Lucy. It’s a matter of policy, not an accusation against any particular shopper.

There is no such thing as cholov stam anymore (except Germany), it’s called akum or cholov treif, per Igros Moshe

Where in Igros Moshe?

Rab Belsky’s heter is not based on the established facts the Vets do to the cows.

Rav Belsky’s heter indeed seems weak, but others are mattir based on bittul (R’ Yecheskel Roth, and I believe that’s the basis on which R’ Dovid Feinstein is mattir as well.

I may be wrong, but I don’t think R Moshe ever said not to rely on his heter.

You are wrong. Rav Moshe writes that where CY is available, even at increased inconvenience and price (not significant), one should buy CY.

The heter is still valid, but he’s saying that where it’s not too difficult, one should not rely on it.

To those of you that have an issue with Rav Moshe’s heter, the non cholov Yisroel milks back then we’re not yet ou certified. Hence, he recommended Chalav Yisroel, if feasible and available.

Today however, ou certified milk is plentiful and this hashgacha is as good or better than cholov Yisroel.

That’s a total fabrication. Even the OU acknowledges the validity of the position to be makpid on CY.

You’re original statement was unconditional, implying that every case of mevushal wine is a heter.

I’m under the impression that almost all commercially “mevushal” wine is flash pasteurized.

Come up with cholov Yisroel and tell people that ou and ok certified milk is not good enough. What a bunch of malarkey. The US regulatory system does not allow for foreign matter in dairy milk.

You seem to be unaware of the fact that many poskim disagreed with R Moshe’s heter, and that even he said it’s better not to rely on it (and didn’t personally rely on it).

Do not call that relying on a heter.

Why not?

No one would consider using goyish wine – even if one had a heter.

Anyone who drinks wine served by a non Jewish waiter is relying on a heter.

Humor? I thought you were here for kiruv.

You really need to do a better job being dan l’kaf z’chus. Probably Mmarchette has a non Jewish co-worker who tried both.

🙄

learn the sicha inside

Okay, I did, it’s still krum to me.

It’s interesting that he asks all the obvious questions, but doesn’t seem to answer them (although he tries).

So I’m left with two big kashyas: 1) How could the kedusha of the sukkah itself cause tza’ar which patters from the mitzvah. 2) How do all Chabad chassidim not sleep in the sukkah when the reality is that they’re not mitztaer, they’re not mitztaer that they’re not “on the level to be mitztaer”, and even if they were, they could do that in the sukkah.

I mean that conceptually more than practically.

Halacha says it’s better to sleep in the sukkah, although there’s a heter not to.

Chassidus (supposedly) says it’s better not to sleep in the sukkah. It’s mamash backwards.

Knaidlach, I understand and respect that you feel the need to defend your Rebbe.

I hope that you likewise understand and respect our defense of the Torah itself.

These objections are not our own. They were made by people much greater than us.

so the rebbe goes on to explain how his hanhaga was not according to halacha

In other words, chassidus trumps halacha, r”l.

Hashem yerachem.

There is a difference between shev v’al taaseh and kum va’asei. Not keeping Shabbos is kum va’asei and no minhag can allow actual chilul. But if there was, say, as minhag not to make eat cholent then that would be ok.

This is more like a minhag not to make Kiddush.

This is a totally theoretical question, right?

The reason given to not sleep in the sukkah is nonsensical, but not just a mistake, it’s a distortion of Torah.

TLIK, would you say that your recommended method of chinuch was always the preferred way, or that our generation is weaker than past generations, so things have changed?

Yes, but what if someone felt they weren’t ready for marriage so they rejected a potential match?

That might also be a product of their actions.
