(Avoid bracha acharona shailos by eating them in different sittings)
Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach is quoted as giving a reason for the minhag of eating sufganiyot that the bracha acharona includes the words “v’al heichalecha”.
I think anyone who thinks there is actually an answer to this shouldn’t be trusted.
If you’re discussing an individual case, okay.
But as a matter of principle, what’s wrong with an opinion about whether there are or aren’t any situations in which it’s warranted?
Why is this question only addressed to mesivta/ highschool and not elementary or post highschool. And why not address girls as well?
OP is a boy in yeshiva (probably mesivta).
Retzicha
Yes, leaving a bad influence in the yeshiva might be retzicha klapei some of the other boys.
It’s dinei nefashos, but it goes both ways.
I don’t envy the ones who have to make these decisions.
Denial.
IOW, insanity?
CS: Go right ahead.
While Meshichistim aren’t making a mistake. They’re in denial, and using crooked logic to justify denial. But would that be Kefira?
The Rebbe, according to any normal way of determining things, passed away. If he was married, his wife would be allowed to marry someone else, etc.
The only possible way I can see (please, if you can offer a reasonable alternative, I’d like to hear) for someone to think he didn’t die is for them to consider him immortal, i.e. not a basar vadam. To me, that’s kefirah.
Good luck getting this to 18 pages
Bump.
Because they’re not logical.
Doesn’t this remind you of the whole Sukkah debate?
That’s obviously why you brought it up, but no.
1. What Hetter is there, in Shas or Poskim, for Yeshiva Bochurim to not daven a proper Chazaras HaShatz by Mincha? Now even if you’ll Taanah that back in Slabodka (where I think this minhag originated) they lived Toraso Umnaso, how does this apply in the US, where you have breaks for lunch and breakfast, and in some Yeshivas for Limmudei Chol. I find it hard to believe that you can’t find 5 minutes in a day to do a Chazaras Hashatz like the Chachamim decreed.
R’ Yaakov Kamenetzky is quoted as saying that the original takana to say chazaras hasha”tz was not made in a beis medrash, where the attendees generally know how to daven themselves. It was only made for shuls, where it is common to have people who need to be yotzei with the sha”tz.
Shacharis is different because of s’michas geulah lit’filah (at least according to the common minhag of starting t’filas lachash after kedusha).
You also don’t lose Birchas Kohanim at Mincha (I’m not sure if R’ Yaakov said this point).
2cents: Wants proof that vaccines cause encephalitis and encephalitis causes autism
Doomsday:
1. Mayo Clinic: “Encephalitis (en-sef-uh-LIE-tis) is inflammation of the brain. There are several causes, but the most common is viral infection.”
Some vaccines contain LIVE viruses. Other Vaccines contain known neurotoxins including mercury & aluminum. Children get multiple vaccines at once so they are getting both LIVE viruses & neurotoxins at once!Do you honestly believe that this even vaguely resembles a proof?
So if 4,000 people died from Measles
They die of complications from measles. Big difference. You can’t accuse the CDC of lying based on your unproven conjecture.
As a parent it should be my decision and my decision only whether or not I am willing to take the risks with the bodies of my children.
Absolute dangerous nonsense. No, you can’t do whatever you want to your children. It’s your G-d given responsibility to take care of them properly. It is therefore a halachic obligation to vaccinate them. You have no “right” to inflict your meshugas on them or on others’ children through exposure.
The two numbers, as Health points out, aren’t contradictory. Besides the numbers being from different decades, let’s simply look at the CDC statement again:
“In the decade before 1963 when a vaccine became available, nearly all children got measles by the time they were 15 years of age. It is estimated 3 to 4 million people in the United States were infected each year. Also each year, among reported cases, an estimated 400 to 500 people died, 48,000 were hospitalized, and 1,000 suffered encephalitis (swelling of the brain) from measles.”
So an estimated 500 people died among the reported cases, not among the total estimated 3 to 4 million.
The total estimated cases and the total reported cases are two totally different numbers. To figure out the percentage, you need to use the number of reported cases of measles, not the total estimated cases, which assume many unreported cases.
The question is how many reported cases there were.
Guess what, on a different part of the CDC website, they write there were 500,000 reported cases. 500 deaths would be 1 in 1000.
Doomsday, you’re either lying by covering up the inconvenient facts, or more likely, you’ve been had by the anti vax websites and groups.
Either way, the whole premise of your “the CDC is lying” claim is totally false.
I’ve never heard of a blanket referred to as a device.
Doorknobs, 9.9/10. They almost always work.
Cars, 8/10. They probably have a similar success rate as doorknobs, but the consequences of them malfunctioning are usually worse.
just so that the gullible chasidim can get drunk an extra day
They need an excuse?
It’s not sensical, or sensible. It’s purely emotional.
I think you made that up
Can you understand that we never entered an agreement that I, who oppose vaccines will get vaccinated, to help protect you?
Nevertheless, it’s your obligation.
That is the bottom line. You don’t have the right to inflict your meshugas on your children or anyone else’s.
One lie after another
I’m going to invite you to read his words one more time, before I explain the simple English like a pre school teacher.
Please do, because I still don’t see any defensible interpretation.
Chabad has different Yomim Tovim than regular Judaism?
Unbelievable. You have no problem putting your kids and other kids at risk, yet you call others out for a lack of yiras shomayim.
Last night I went into one of the local general supermarkets as is my Motzei Shabbos post Thanksgiving custom and bought every single frozen Empire turkey which were marked down to 99 cents per pound and stocked our freezers in the garage. I was able to purchase 12 of the 14-16 pound birds and 8 of the 20-24 pounders. By next week they’ll again be about $3.79 per pound in the market.
No wonder I couldn’t find any.
As painful as these stories are, they don’t prove anything.
Funny, when it comes to money ( Medicaid, Section 8,food stamps etc ) we jump up and down and shout Give Me, I’m an American!! When it comes to Thanksgiving and July 4, suddenly we’re not Americans, its chukas goyim.
What a horrible comparison
DY obviously I disagree with your comment, but I appreciate it nonetheless (if that makes sense)
I guess whether it makes sense depends on what you appreciate…
No it’s not. He has specified on the other thread. It doesn’t seem to be against all Chassidim.
“many other frum cults”
How so? Because Chabad is big?
No, because it’s not a cult.
we’ve been forced to be sensitive and pretend to hold of their legitimacy?Not I.
These people come across as programmed. You seemed to believe so yourself on other threads.
Illogical, yes. I don’t know if that’s the same as saying “programmed” but either way, being wrong or even illogical isn’t synonymous with being a cult.
It’s not hypocrisy to take the middle ground. Chabad meshichism is wrong, but not an evil cult.
Haga atzm’cha. If you agree with my Chabad meshichists/ anti vaxxers comparison, and the Chassidim (or Chabad if you insist on ignoring the obvious)/ Lev Tahor comparison, then are you equating anti-vaxxers with Lev Tahor?
I must comment on this:
Right. And that’s exactly why a certain person decided were all kofrim BEFORE gimmel tammuz (for unknown reasons, his own followers were left scratching their heads)…
1. Many were not scratching their heads
2. חכם עדיף מנביא
You somehow twisted his cleverness in recognizing the (institutional) insanity in Chabad as derogatory, when in fact it shows his prescience.
What a dumb OP.
Lev Tahor members have noses. So do yeshiva bochurim.
Therefore, yeshivos are cults.
Makes sense? That’s basically the same logic pattern.
Those who take the OP as an anti Lubavich rant (which it obviously is, based on the title) seem to missing that it it’s actually a rant against all (perhaps just most) chassidus – “many other frum cults”.
Any legitimate taynas against the way Lubavich has mishandled the loss of their Rebbe, and even the way he was treated when he was alive, is lost in the over the top, ridiculous comparison to Lev Tahor, and the inclusion of “many other frum cults”.
No, unavoidably unsafe means that there are inevitably some who will be harmed from vaccines. That’s why there is a vaccine injury compensation court created to begin with.
Legally, unavoidably safe means they’re not liable. The compensation court is there for the avoidable cases, meaning some specific defect in the production of the vaccine.
You’ve got to stop using terms fed to you by your fellow anti vax cultists which are being misunderstood and misapplied.
“Unavoidably safe” is a legal term which makes no judgement as to how safe or unsafe vaccines are, or the risks compared to the benefits.
Although I agree that it’s not a great idea to travel close to Shabbos, as Milhouse points out, there’s no halacha against it, and the chances of actual chillul Shabbos resulting from flying one of these flights is very small.
The chances of an inconvenient Shabbos is a little bigger, but still not likely.
It’s not only people looking for a cheaper flight who take these flights, it’s often the only option, as AIY points out.
If you want to take a lesson to be more cautious when possible, fine, but I think it’s out of place to judge people for this.
I hope I didn’t spell anything wrong.
I really don’t get the nitpicking about spelling
ANY KASHES?
Yes. Why do you bother? Truthishidden clearly has no intention of being rational.
Probably a side effect of measles.
The original statement was: “it’s better to be a frei yid who holds the rebbe’s moshiach than a snag who’s frum.”
NP said it was justifiable in the following scenario:
Guy 1 – Is Frei (not careful with kashrus, relationships with other gender, ect) but not mechalel Shabbos publicly and not an oved Avoda Zora
Guy 2 – Holds there isn’t going to be ANY Moshiach.
So he made the frei guy frum, and the frum guy frei.
That’s not putting it into context, that’s distorting it beyond recognition.
Nice try, I guess, but no dice.
Yes I think in extreme 2 such a statement could be justified (not that id make it myself.)
So you’re too nice to actually say it, but you do agree that a frei Yid who believes the Rebbe is Moshiach is better than a misnaged who doesn’t hold of the Rebbe.
My question right now is why is it the measles vaccine that has everybody up in arms
Because there’s currently a measles outbreak.
“Divrei Chachamim Bnachas Nishmaim”
Please stop posting your anti vaccination opinions. You might be putting people at risk.
(Let’s see if that works)
Also, as far as your Pikuach Nefesh Doche Lashon Hara…. Check with your Rav to make sure that this situation does warrant these types of responses.
I’m not the one who posted the video.
You, on the other hand, should ask your rav if it was mutar to publicly scold the one who took the video.
Research the ingredients (vaccine ing. found on the CDC website) and their impact.
How about you research the overall negatives of the vaccines vs. the negatives of the diseases they prevent?
So why should one suffer from the side effects if there are in many cases natural alternatives that do not have such potentially serious side effects?
They haven’t been proven safe or effective.
“When someone asks you about your attitude about certain gedolim, and your answer
(#1624910) contains a comparison to someone’s attitude about “a Jew who clearly follows
a non-Torah path,” you’re kind of inviting trouble (even if you didn’t mean it that way).”I hear that.
You say you hear that, yet in your very next post you compare Rav Aharon Feldman to a mechallel Shabbos rachmono litzlon.
someone who is known to you to be a tzadik (or whatever equivalent term is used), you follow him unless he tells you to serve another god or permanently cancels a mitzvah.
You mean like, for example, sleeping in the succah?
