The kosher bakery I go to has 90% non-jewish staff….
Outside there is 100% Jewish people looking for Tzedakah
Go Figure……..
Are those Jewish people capable of holding down a job?
Don’t believe in chicken soup.
You need to work on your emunah! 🙂
why do girls call seminary yeshiva, boys go to yeshiva girls don’t!
I heard that there was a left wing place for girls which had the motto We put the “she” in yeshiva!
Here’s another thread on the topic. Welcome to the CR!

The main reason they close topics is k’day sheyishalu hatinokos 🙂
Because otherwise the garment would fall apart.
doctors recommend milk based formula
Formula in EY are comparable to American brands
Our pediatrician has told us both of these as well.
If you want *true* chalav yisrael, nurse 🙂
There’s a pre-1A rebbe who teaches that Moshe Rabbeinu wouldn’t eat from a non-Jewish nurse because it wasn’t chalav Yisrael!
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.
and who doesnt like a yenta
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.
This reminds me of the question: How many Avinu Malkeinus are there?
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.
They didn’t post the link I set up for download (totally understandable).

If what abcd2 wrote is correct (about vitamin deficiencies), it would seem there would be an excellent reason to use non-chalav yisrael formula.
A growing baby should NOT be deprived of important nutrients.
True, but Similac is still available in CY, so it would depend on one’s financial situation and which posek one follows (don’t forget that some are not matir under any circumstances).
The best diet is to date and get engaged works the best lol
And in order to do that, it won’t hurt to lose a few pounds.

I don’t think it’s available anywhere. I have “The Stanley Miller Band American Simcha” as an mp3 file. If the mods allow, I can email it to you, or post a link to a temporary “you send it” file.
computer
Then try Firefox.
By the way,can my subtitle be changed to The Human??(without the question marks!!)
lol
It’s available at nachumsegal.com; here’s the link (if the mods will allow it):

It was a Yigal Calek record, but it was done in EY; it’s called Pirchei Yerushalayim.

DZ, if you install and use a different browser than Internet Explorer, such as Firefox, spell-checking can be done from the reply box.
You spelled that word wierdly. 🙂
mbachur,
If someone keeps CY as a chumra, I think it might still be consistent to not be makpid on formula if there was difficulty involved. But if CY formula is available at a cost differential similar to that of other dairy products, it would seem to me that there would not be grounds to be meikil purely based on the fact that the child is below the age of chinuch.
AZ, stop with your nonsense already. No one is going to change and start marrying older females because you or anybody else says so.
Nobody’s forcing it down anyone’s throat, but it definitely seems more acceptable to date and marry closer in age than it was a few years ago.
The contractor bags aren’t so shiny, so they’re okay b’shas had’chak.
SJSinNYC,
Aries,
If a tefach (or possibly 2) are allowed, and women are pulling out less than that to put over their sheital, why would that be wrong?
Where did “possibly two” come from?
R’ Moshe does allow one, but since the forehead is two tefachim wide, he only allows a half of a tefach deep, and he does not even recommend doing that, as the Chasam Sofer doesn’t allow anything.
You expect an infant to feed himself formula? 🙂
That’s good to know. I’ve only seen the mehadrin (CY) one in the US.
bpt,
The garbage bag should still go over that.
If you can get Materna, it’s good formula (according to our pediatrician) and it’s not more expensive than Similac or Enfamil (at least not much more, I haven’t compared exact prices per ounce).
Would you sit behind the exhaust pipe of car “a couple of times a week” and breathe in the fumes?
I don’t think that’s the type of pipe he meant (that one doesn’t look sophisticated).
woman should just wear garbage bags, and poke a hole out for the head…?!?!
You can buy them at Home Depot and they’re under $15 for a whole box, but you have to get the contractor bags, the lawn & leaf aren’t tznius. For plus size people, I recommend Hefty.
When I asked a local volunteer paramedic how he could drink on Purim, he told me “Revach V’Hatzalah ya’amod la’Yehudim mimakom acher.”
aries,
Earlier, TLC referred to a “rusty sink pipe” that needed to be replaced. If the “improvements” made were repairs to fixtures (plumbing, etc.) which are part of the rental, and are therefore the landlord’s responsibility to repair, it’s reasonable to think that a rov would allow that to be deducted from the rent. If the improvements were luxuries, then it’s not so simple.
sc,
We’re wheely having pun on this tread.
Okay, it’s starting to get interesting now…
Listen, you cant have brains and looks.
Why not?
My car iz (sic) and tired.
It is assur to wear shells since anything which is not tznius by itself should not be worn with a shell either.
Why would anyone want to do that??!
Someone might want to delete an account if they regret many of their posts, and especially if some people know who he really is.
When ever something breaks even and old rusty sink pipe that is obviously not my fault, I just brink and pay for my own giy to fix
Now THAT you should be able to deduct from rent (but of course ask a shaila first; there are many variables).
You’re misunderstanding me. Shallow means not deep. A spouse should be something much more, much deeper, than a best friend.
because i hope no one here has forgotten, your spouse is meant to be your best friend
Pretty shallow definition of marriage, if you ask me.
