    I agree that it’s a nebach that I thanked him for clarifying his previous post, but what can you do? Politeness is a character flaw of mine.

    I needed to take a short break.

    As you present the issue, the break was needed. It was therefore part of the job. So you gave the full 5 hours. (Even had you not used the term “needed”, a fifteen minute break would certainly be a reasonable expectation.)

    Um, U followed by pareve is the Kosher dairy symbol?

    I copied straight from the site – I hadn’t noticed that part!

    Unless you have health concerns with milk-based formula, I’d avoid the soy. Better to drink cholov stam formula than have these side effects.

    Very possible, especially if the baby is exclusively on soy. If it’s a supplement to nursing, it might not be an issue (I haven’t seen the studies; if CY formula wasn’t available, I’d do more research).

    It is preferable but NOT a halachic necessity (as stated by OU R Blumenkrantz ZTL and others) to buy liquid premade formula

    Possibly, it’s because a small amount of chametz would have been batel, but if you mix it on Pesach, even minute amounts do not become batel.

    In a way you’re possibly increasing Jewish sales of music in the future.

    The same thing could be said for any music. Yet the secular music industry has spent millions of dollars to cut down on copying. They seem to feel that they make more money if no one copies.

    It seems to concede if in fact you would never have bought it (for whatever reasons), it would be permissible. But he feels that if it is still being sold, it is unfair to think you would not have otherwise purchased it.

    In other words, in theory, yes, but in practice, no. As one rov reportedly told someone who asked if he could copy a CD since he wouldn’t buy it anyway, “of course you wouldn’t buy it since you could copy it!”.

    I just read it. It seems that if it’s not being sold, it would be okay to copy it, and if it is being sold, you can copy for yourself if you bought it, but not for others or from others, and there is no acceptable rationalization that “I would not have bought it anyway”.

    Should one use soy based formula instead of milk based formula, to avoid CS? Or is milk based formula significantly better than soy based, warranting using the CS?

    Just what reasons would be wrong anyway? Presumably, people only divorce when they are not happy together. I can’t think of any better reason.

    Not being happy together is NOT a valid reason to get divorced. It’s a reason to work on being happy together, including getting outside help. Not being able to be happy together even after putting in the fullest effort to might be a good reason, but for many, unfortunately, the reason is not inability, rather, unwillingness. And even if we can’t always judge whether or not a couple put in their fullest effort, sometimes we can.

    SJSinNYC,

    I prefaced my comment by noting that there is CY Similac formula available, it’s just more expensive. I know people who were told to use treif formula in cases where the infant couldn’t tolerate kosher ones, so I would agree that if no other formula was available, chalav stam would certainly be better! But there are definitely poskim who aren’t matir chalav stam simply for expense. (When I wrote under any circumstances, I didn’t mean even pikuach nefesh.)

    mbachur,

    If the chalav stam is free, that would certainly constitute grounds to be meikil according to R’ Moshe.

    For those who consider CY a chumra, but do keep it, I think it’s a good question, whether one should use soy based formula instead of milk based formula, to avoid CS.

    I just took a look at the thread which started this, and apparently, Dr. Miller has been contacted about whether he’s makpid or not, so hopefully, my theories will be a moot point and we’ll find out his wishes.

    According to my reading of the Igros Moshe, even if he’s makpid, it might be mutar, but I would ask a shaila first.

    First of all, for the record, I didn’t quote Rav Belsky, I found this piece from Rabbi Moishe Dovid Lebovits (Halachically Speaking) on this site (with help from Cherrybim from the Copying CDs thread.) It doesn’t say that this p’sak is from Rav Belsky, it says, “(footnote 96) Refer to Igros Moshe O.C. 4:40:19.”, and that the piece was “Reviewed by Rabbi Benzion Schiffenbauer Shlita”.

    What may be inferred from that Igros Moshe is that it would be midas s’dom for the originator of the recording to be makpid if he does not stand to profit. If I understand correctly, it would still be assur to copy a recording which is currently for sale even if one is certain that he would not purchase it.*

    It’s also possible that one is allowed to assume that the original producer is not makpid since he no longer sells it (likely, he would be flattered to know that some people are still interested in his music!).

    Regarding Charlie Hall’s point, (possible hakpada for other reasons) R’ Moshe addresses this regarding divrei Torah and says that the maggid shiur may later find his piece faulty and be embarrassed if it’s available publicly. It’s doubtful if that’s the case here, it’s probably just not a marketable item at this point in time.

    * A young bachur once told me the following story about himself. He copied his married brother’s CD, rationalizing that it was an unusual style of Jewish music which he would certainly never purchase. His copy broke, so he asked his brother to borrow it again, but it too had broken. He then went to the store and bought it! He then realized that it’s impossible to be certain that a recording that you do find worthwhile to have, you would never buy.
