Aries,
I have no problem posting a halachic shaila and discussing it; if you’ve noticed, I’ve been involved in halachic discussions here. It’s not a
contradiction to the idea of following your rov’s psak for halacha l’meisah.
I actually think it’s dangerous to post your rov’s p’sak if anyone would take it at face value; anyone can post anything here, and even if the poster is honest, a p’sak may not be understood or applied correctly. (That was in response to I might have reacted differently if I came upon such a situation had you not told us what your Rav said
This particular shaila requires knowledge of many details to arrive at an answer, so if I had had the shaila, I don’t know if I would post my rov’s answer unless I understood which exact factors were important for his answer.
It’s also the type of shaila for which someone could offer advice, such as how to approach the boss in a non confrontational manner to discuss it.
That having been said, I really didn’t take strong issue with your comment, I meant it as a humorous comment.
SJS,
If we’re discussing a family with eight kids, they will most likely not be close in age, and there’s just not enough time in the day to teach them. As far as your point regarding incremental costs and adding classes, that’s why i said depending on the community, meaning if the classes aren’t already all filled to capacity.
So a goy following his teachings can spray paint a shul?
He’d be wrong. There is absolute right and wrong in this world – it’s called the Torah.
If I know you are doing somrtjing that I can find halachic sources to prove it is wrong, I can spray paint your house?
Who’s talking about spray painting anybody’s house? We’re talking about covering an inappropriate picture (which I didn’t see so I don’t have an opinion on this particular case).
??? ???? is ????? a ??? which is ???? ?????
OK, OK. I still think I have a valid point, but it seems I’m clearly in the minority here, so I retract the objection.
The Wolf
You do have a valid point, that we should consider the compromises made in any restaurant or catered event. They also have a valid point that Pesach is more stringent.
BTW, in general, I don’t think you should retract your opinion because of the number of opinions expressed in the CR, unless you’ve been convinced by a good argument.
If you already asked the sheila, what was the answer?
You’re probably the type that reads the last page of a mystery first. 🙂
GAW,
He didn’t say that the rov told him he needs new racks, so it’s a total loss.
As far as your specific case, you may just want to replace the dishwasher.
Why should he? His rov said he could kasher it. He’s concerned about serving others who may not hold of this p’sak, but I don’t think anyone who would otherwise eat in his house would refrain because of the dishwasher (as I explained before).
Eclipse, give her more latitude,
you don’t have a great attitude.
That you have a good shiksa,
(although you can’t fix her,)
requires some more gratitude!
I don’t know what the picture was, but oomis inadvertantly brought up a good point; that sign along Rockaway Boulevard took several months until it came down, despite the owners being contacted and lots of political pressure.
Bottome line? If you want something done, do it yourself.
Also, pba, I’m surprised you haven’t mentioned that the detergent is pogem.
Feif Un,
I apologize for not saying this until now, but hatzlocha on the house; may you make many simchas there until moshiach comes b’mheira!
There are plenty of people who get money from others- whether they demanded it or not, I don’t know.
I would assume, based on my experience, that most, if not all did not demand it. And if they were given it willingly, would you have such an issue with it?
pba,
What about a radish?
Threaten the boss that if he doesn’t give you $100,000, you’ll report him to the authorities. (Because you said other than ask a shaila 🙂
I have two frum families homeschooling on my block. To say “most families can’t do it” IMHO is a cop out.
It’s not a cop-out. It’s true. Saying it’s a cop-out is to claim that most parents could really be good teachers, but they nevertheless chose a different career, which is occasionally, but not usually the case, and to say otherwise, besides being IMHO untrue, is an insult to our rebbeim, moros, and teachers.
And those choosing to homeschool, in many communities, are not doing anyone a favor; their limited tuition is still something that the schools could have benefited from.
And the numbers given by SJS and zahavasdad, IME, are overinflated; most parents, in the schools I’m familiar with, are not paying nearly that much in tuition (either they are paying less than full, or tuition is not that much to begin with).
I know a lot of people living in Lakewood. Not a single one demanded a down payment from the parents. Mod 80, you hit the nail on the head.
*Except the ‘??”? ??”? ??”? ???? ?. *
That’s a minhag, not a halachah. There is a difference!
That difference is not that it can be disregarded in someone else’s home!
Something which may have started as a ???? becomes a ???. Specifically by ??????, the ??”? says
“??? ?????? ?????? ?????? ?????? ???? ????? “.
The ?”?, when explaining the development of the ???, says, “?????? ????? ????” and, “????”.
*Except the ‘??”? ??”? ??”? ???? ?. *
Also worth mentioning is that we don’t even follow all the Remah’s minhagim! For example, the six closest Ashkenazic synagogues to me recite Hallel in shul on the first night of Pesach.
This one is universally (AFAIK) accepted by ???????.
“he claims he received such a psak”
What is the basis for such a psak. Gebrokts is agreed by everyone to be minhag, not halachah.
The minhag may have been to not allow keilim either.
(i.e. having communications on FB with an opposite gender.)
don’t we do that here all the time?
If pictures or personal contact information were allowed, most of us (I would guess) wouldn’t be here.
I don’t have facebook, and I don’t know how it works, but Philip Rosenthal, who does, highly recommends against it, certainly for teens.
The only “story” I know first hand about it was a (now married) friend of mine who closed his account in disgust when girls he had dated asked him to be his “friend”.
Like alcohol, the “anonymity” of sitting in front of a screen reduces inhibitions. Same with texting, etc.
Stam kelim enam ben yom?
You would only need that to use the dishwasher within 24 hours of when the ??? left the house.
But what if they serve onions and you use your fork and knife that were in the dishwasher?
Interesting thought. Following the same reasoning, if you kasher a ??? in a larger ???, both ???? ?? ????, if there is no ‘???? ?? (which is not required in this case), the larger ??? should never be subsequently used for a ??? ???? (this is, of course not the case).
The (? ??”? (??”? ?’ ?? quotes his son ?’ ??? ????”? who uses this ??? to be ???? washing dishes ?????? in a treif (???? ?? ????) dishwasher. R’ Moshe argues because it becomes part of the ???? of ???? ?? ???? ??? ?? ????. No mention is made of potential use of a knife (or fork to spear) a ??? ????.
A Yeshiva education is a luxury. Homeschooling is very cheap and you can hire someone for a few hours a week to supplement what you can’t.
Most people are not equipped to homeschool, and if they were, they would have to quit their jobs and would be worse off financially.
With rare exception, you don’t NEED meat and chicken. You can have a small piece l’kavod shabbos and that’s it.
Let’s see you live that way first, then you can comment.
You’re being ridiculously unrealistic here.
You don’t need ???? ???? ???? ????,
to know how he appeared so sudden.
You’re a hard worker,
but he’s just a lurker
Or is there a dual identity? ?? ????!
The word ciao (Italian pronunciation: [?t?a?o], English: /?t?a?/) is an informal Italian verbal salutation or greeting, meaning either “hello”, “goodbye”, “bye” or “hi”. Originally from the Venetian language, it was adopted into the Italian language and eventually entered the vocabulary of English and of many other languages around the world. The word is mostly used as “goodbye” or “bye” in English, but in modern Italian and in other languages it may mean “hello” or “goodbye”.
Either that, or food.
Yes, zahavasdad, it’s expensive to be frum. But it’s also a much more satisfying way of life, even in this world. And blaming the schools for overcharging (which, IMHO, is ridiculous since most run on a deficit even though waste is kept to a minimum) doesn’t help pay the bills.
BTW, no yeshiva or BY that I know of will insist on $50,000 tuition if your income is only $70,000. They’re not dumb, they know how to add.
“According to this, you could eat the actual kitniyos”
And you would violate absolutely no halachah by doing so.
Except the ‘??”? ??”? ??”? ???? ?.
zahavasdad,
The following specific comments address the books:

eclipse, wolf and popa!
You mean a committee, as in Lakewood?
Avram in MD,
Sorry about your loss. Just post your bank routing and account #s so I can deposit $ in your acctount to cover your fees.
They may ask me for your SS# for verification, so post that as well, just in case.
Yes. I am pretty sure my Rov holds that your minhag or the p’sak that you follow doesn’t necessarily override the p’sak someone else follows from a reliable rov.
According to this, you could eat the actual kitniyos, as long as your Sephardi host has a reliable rov.
Nothing new…
or will they give you grief the first time you do not attend a family Bar Mitzvah that is more bar than mitzvah?
Good line. I also agree with the sentiment.
First get me a teacher earning $50k…. Then, I might agree w/you that schools/yeshivas are on a tight budget.
So you think the yeshivas have loads of extra money around?
Read this, with the comments. You aren’t the first person to not properly understand a school’s actual expenses and income, and you won’t be the last.
The actual number I heard is about $10K a year.
Not in the schools charging 10k+ in tuition.
But this is supposed to be oxymorons not redundancies or repetitions,
I introduced some redundancies earlier.
redundancies or repetitions
That’s one!
The money is going somewhere.
Where do you think it’s going? Do you agree with Mod. 80?
Wolf,
Yes, since it’s not a ben-yomo, the food is muttar b’dieved anyhow.
Did I miss something?
Yes. So did I.
Zahavasdad,
OK, so what do you suggest?
Would coveting it not involve the issur of jealousy?
He doesn’t want it because “yenem” has it, he wants it because it’s nostalgic.
Oh, and if the am hanivchar is superior on all levels in all regards across the board, why are we in golus, exactly?
Do you think that being in golus is determined by how we compare to the nations?
I don’t.
Religious Zionists would emphatically disagree with that statement.
They would be wrong, at the expense of being m’zalzel in the honor of a true adam gadol.
“so too does a woman/girl have a right to say she wants to marry someone who does wear a hat.”
Yes, we have a right to be stupid.
If she wants only someone who wears a hat and doesn’t care about anything else, that’s stupid. If it’s one prerequisite, then it’s not so simple.As an example, if a chassidishe girl would insist on a boy who will wear a streimel, would that be stupid? It would be, in fact, stupid for her not to insist on that; she’d be going out of her cultural boundaries and just asking for trouble.
Your example of you with your wife is unfair; we don’t know either of you.
I don’t have a TV. Does that make me no longer Modern Orthodox?
It makes you smart. 🙂
At least you only wear $15 shirts.
Tip #2: Keeping Your Automobile Properly Fueled
- 1) Pull up to full service pump with fuel cap facing pump
2) Roll down window
3) When attendant comes, say, “fill ‘er up on regular”
I would open it first.
dvorak,
Quit changing the topic. 😉
Wolf,
There probably was no good reason not to post your link, nor one or two of my links, but the moderator might have had many posts to approve and didn’t have time to visit your link (and mine) and check it out as well.
I’m with oomis on this one. The OP was baloney. Her answer was wry. (Derech Hamelech, I apologize for not talking respectively. 🙂
