    A frum woman wearing a lace wig is being totally hypocritical. Everyone with a half a brain knows that all Rabbis whose opinions are used as sources to allow women to wear wigs would absolutely not approve of lace wigs

    Just so happens that there are some choshuv poskim who don’t think lace shaitels are assur.

    I hope you are willing to retract that anyone who thinks that way has less than half a brain.

    I’m not sure why you are dismissive of Rabeinu Bachya. The idea if the physical power of gemstones is accepted by mainstream poskim, hence the popularity of even tekumah and rubies, even among people who don’t generally go for the latest segulah fads.

    IIRC, MBD sang Sameach Tesamach from R B Chait at a HASC concert (I think HASC 3) and recorded it on an album later.

    They sing Shir Hamaalos to almost anything, but maybe you’re thinking of Od Yishoma (two come to mind – Carlebach’s less famous one, from his first record, and the famous Od Yishoma played first at every chasunah, which I believe is a Modzitzer nigun).

    Moh Oshiv was originally on Laibel’e Haschel’s album (called Moh Oshiv) and later sung by MBD on a Suki and Ding All Star album called Hallel.

    Lo Omus is a Boruch Chait song originally sung by MBD and Michoel Stretcher on Live in Yerushalayim (Zichron Menachem). Schwebel Scharf and Levine later sang it on Areshes S’foseinu.

    Name 3 songs that MBD performed on his own albums only after performing them on albums where he wasn’t the main singer.

    BoruchSchwartz already mentioned Someday (from JEP 4, then on his The English Album); Neshomele was on Journeys 2 before the Double Album came out, and I believe 2 songs from an Ohel Concert were later put on his own albums; Lonely People (The English Album) and Kol Dodi (We Are One). He sang Tifiloh L’oni on M’shor’rim, and Moh Oshiv on Hallel (then HASC) before singing them on Kumzitz. So I’m counting 6, not sure if DaMoshe didn’t think of all of them or categorized them differently than I did.

    He composed 9 of the 12 songs, but Vahaviosim was one of the 3 which he didn’t compose. He is credited on the record as the assistant conductor, while Harvey Erlich conducted the choir and Heshi Nussbaum produced the record. Personally, I wouldn’t call it a Yerachmiel Begun album since he didn’t produce it and was only the assistant to the head choir conductor, but I guess I could understand why whitecar calls it a Yerachmiel Begun album.

    Rev E, if someone is davka changing into weekday clothing to be able to wear it during the week, it is hachana. It’s clear that he’s not doing it because this is what he wants to wear now.

    So, RebE’s grandfathers took on different observances than someone else’s. No need to argue…

    There’s no minhag to allow blatantly preparing for chol on Shabbos.

    Besides, my grandfathers had the minhag of pointing out when someone tries to peddle false halacha, so there’s no point in arguing with me

    Stepping can be done on a weekday in 9 days when not worn before.

    B’dieved

    As far as wearing weekday clothes on Shabbos, you are mistaken. It’s hachana.

    The only heter is clothing you really could wear on Shabbos (such as a white shirt) and on Shabbos morning, instead of putting on your shirt from Friday night, you out on a fresh shirt, that’s okay. Same when waking up from a nap.

    But stam trying on clothes that you don’t need to put on is hachana.

As well as the entire tech world now of Google, Facebook and Twitter that are conquering to take over our entire freedoms and privacy of our lives and share it with whoever they want.

    The differnce is that ssy it is not a hefsek being part of teflla

    To claim that they are a hefsek makes no sense. It’s like saying the icing is a hefsek in the cake. Or that the cufflinks are a hefsek in the shirt.

    I’m sure you realize that there is no din that a cake or shirt can’t have a hefek. So, the comparison doesn’t make sense.

    That’s pretty much a fallacy. In the vast majority of cases (I’m not aware of any exceptions but there certainly might be) the wife is mochel on him going to work and allows him to go to the beis medrash.

    Maybe as more people are vaccinated, the risk of getting sick diminishes and less restrictions are required.

    You missed his point. The loosening of restrictions was sudden and unexpected.

    Now that the supply is higher than demand, they pull out their secret weapon and remove restrictions for the vaccinated

    For all practical purposes they removed them for everyone since nobody’s checking.

    why should i take the the vacccine if i had the virus already ?

    They think the vaccine gives better and longer lasting immunity than immunity obtained by getting the virus. It’s also more recent.

    Does that mean it’s worth it? I don’t know. I think getting vaccinated is pretty much a no-brainer for someone who never has the virus, but I understand the hesitancy of someone who once had it. I’m also not anxious for 12 year olds to get the Covid vaccine.
