D.Y. I have very few requirements!!

What’s the point of moving to a possibly bug-problemmed apt.?

I didn’t mean to imply that you’re too picky, only that there seem to be too few apartments! As far as bedbugs, they are unfortunately very common now, and my understanding is that a past infestation would not be a problem unless there is carpeting, but do your own research, I don’t know this first hand.

iyhbyu,

first of all, I’m just curious about your use of @. Why do you use it before the screen name?

As far as CY is concerned, we’re probably arguing semantics, but the bottom line is as I noted earlier, that all else being equal, it’s better to use CY, even for someone who is not interested in “chumras”. You haven’t addressed the later teshuva (the one reprinted in R’ Forst’s sefer) which makes this point clear.

As far as eiruvin, of course there are eiruvin which are 100% mutar l’chatchila (there are some around even today, i.e. in bungalow colonies); I was addressing the “local eiruv” mentioned by Oomis, which I took to mean our common neighborhood eiruvin.

To say that “eruvin in general” rely on kulos is either ignorant or stupid.

I don’t feel the need to address the content of your post; I did that already.

I will address, however the tone and choice of terminology.

Why is it necessary to adopt a confrontational and degrading approach instead of carrying on a civil discussion? Please, if you disagree, present your arguments; explain why the kulos we mentioned are not really kulos. I’m ready to hear.

As far as closing threads, from what I’ve seen, the moderator closes it for a variety of reasons. Sometimes the discussion gets nasty, sometimes it goes off topic, sometimes it gets hashkafically questionable, and sometimes it’s redundant with an earlier thread or threads.

Mods, correct me if I’m wrong.

eclipse,

I couldn’t agree more!

popa,

Do you mean that hachnosas orchim should be done as a chessed? What a chiddush!

And from what I’ve heard,once there are bugs,they always come back.

Even bedbugs? I’d double check that before I dismissed an otherwise acceptable place, especially since you’re having such a hard time.

Salted. Definitely salted.

B’taiavon!

The life which you mention,

from days of yore –

the youngsters don’t know it,

they all live “next dor”.

Hummingbird,

Verizon will probably charge an arm and a leg.

At catered events which have pareve coffee creamer or ice cream, there is often a sign telling that all milk products are pareve. In restaurants, the menu often mentions it. In either of these scenarios, there would be no problem.

Look at the ??????? in ??? ????? where he makes an excellent case for requiring it to be in its original packaging, not relying on a sign.

WILMAAAAAAA!!!!

What are the rules here? Some people are starting with the last word, some from the first, some using the whole word, and some using part of the word.

Also, due to the nature of a moderated message board, some posts are responding to two or three posts earlier. DZ, I think it’s your call, since you began.

I would also add that it is possible to say that in today’s day and age where there fake meat and fake cheese is so prevalent and publicized in the media, perhaps there is no maaris ayin on these things. I would imagine that you cannot say that for milk from almonds or human milk but for veggie burgers or pepperoni pizza I don’t think it’s so shver.

As I said, this would be the only reasonable explanation for heter.

I don’t deny that it might be right; it’s likely that the hechsherim on Subway rely on this. I personally find the distinction shver, but that’s based on my personal experience, in which parve pepperoni and cheese are uncommon. As I noted earlier, it doesn’t seem as if milk from almonds was extremely rare, since the R”ma uses the term “?????”.

newhere,

Thanks for your input and for the ???? ??????.

Firstly, I never said it was ????. Te best argument ????? might be that it’s too prevalent to be an issue of ????? ???, which ?????? say regarding margarine, but it’s far from ???? (to me) that this would apply to parve cheese.

I haven’t seen the ???”? yet, so I can’t comment on it.

The ?”? is more ????? than the ??”? and holds it’s even a problem on a ?????. That would apply to chicken, and also to ??? ??? ?????.

Many ??????? learn that the ??”? was only ???? on a ????? when it’s ????? (which would not be the case in a restaurant). See also ??”? who assumes that simple ??? in ??”? is that by meat, the ????? even applies ??? ??? ?????.

It seems that the only way to be ???? (besides what I mentioned earlier) would be to hold like the ??”?, according to how the ?”? understood him, and not like the ?”? himself. I don’t think the ?????? take this approach; see ??? ?????.

Haifagirl,

That case (vegetable burger with cheese) would likely depend on how much it looked like real beef.

Not at all, if it’s kosher it’s ok with me…

I’ve purchased fake vegan kosher pepperoni and added it to my pizza before…I kind of liked it…

If (and I stress the if; I’m not certain) there is an issue of maris ayin, then it would not be kosher.

The ??”? ??”? ?”? clearly says that meat served (he probably means cooked) in almond milk is assur unless almonds are placed in the “milk”.

Unless there are visible bits of soy in the cheese, why would the same issue not apply?

I don’t know what “fake vegan kosher pepperoni” looks like to know if there would be maris ayin on it. One could argue that the issur is only on fake dairy not fake meat, by I personally don’t see an important distinction there.

The prevalent heter for margarine, soymilk, pareve ice cream, etc. seems to be that these items are more common today than almond milk was in the days of the R”ma. I don’t know if this is true or not (??”? writes “?????“), but I find it unlikely that fake cheese is. The ??? ????? seems to be uncertain of this entire heter anyhow.

If I’m not mistaken, one of the largest Subway Franchisees is a yid named Feldman. His Subway Development Corporation headquartered in the DC area owns over 1000 Subways. I have heard that Mr. Feldman is a frum jew who keeps kosher (but I have no way to confirm that, have never tried, and it may be nothing more than a popular urban legend).

If true, there would seem to be two issues with it; doing business in non-kosher food is a problem, and getting benefit from basar b’chalav is an even bigger problem.

:??? ????, ??? ??? ????. ??? ???? ????, ??? ???, ????, ?????

???? ?????

DZ – the punctuation comes out on one side unless you put Hebrew on both (or enclose in backticks).

=??=

Page seven says it is five,

the numbers simply don’t jive.

My imagination?

They changed pagination?

My brain’s working in overdrive.

eclipse would point out that Kennith should be Kenneth. Ken zayn you could change it?

Thanks. I changed it. All done for now. Hope you like them. Looks like my shift is over

“Eighty-Eight”

…at the end of the day, I know my marriage better than my rebbe does.

A true gadol understands this and would never advise without considering all of the angles.

There is another issue, besides “eating like goyim”(is Subsational also a problem?). Some people may assume that all Subways are kosher. It may sound far-fetched, but I’ve heard it’s happened. I’m told that R’ Blumenkrantz Zt”l was about to give a hechsher on a KFC but changed his mind for this reason.

Please tell me (and provide sources) which gedolim said that if the wife needs help and asks the kollel husband to take the garbage out that he should refuse because of Kavod HaTorah.

If I may add:

And even if there is such an opinion, explain why, other than selfish reasons, you would want to follow it rather than the opinion of other gedolim that one should not act that way.

twiggy,

Not only was your post a continuation of the thread, it was also a beautiful comment about how even our “recreation” time is spent involved in the words of Torah!
