    Are we really going to have another cholent thread?

    Would you prefer if we turned this into the “ask rhetorical questions” thread?

    in reply to: Jewish music vs. not so-Jewish music #785535

    bpt:

    …and see which one speaks to your heart (I know which one works for me)

    In all seriousness, does Mattisyahu really speaks to you? The few songs that I’ve heard always struck me as a goyishe song that happened to have been written by a Jew and has Jewish themes.

    There are a lot of goyishe emotional songs, but I could never compare a Tzoma L’cha Nafshi from Mattisyahu (I’ve never actually heard it) to the one from Shloime Daskal.

    sammyp:

    Maybe there needs to be a distinction between “kosher” Jewish music and “nonkosher” Jewish music. In my opinion just because the singer/composer is Jewish or even frum doesn’t automatically mean the song is a “kosher Jewish song”.

    I don’t believe in that answer. Can you give another example of a “garbling” of the mesorah?

    I never understood chisurei mechserah were chisronos in the mesorah. Rather, because of yiridos hadoros or some other reason,we needed more words added to the mesorah in order to understand it the way it was originally intended without those added words.

    Did the gemarah really have a hava amina that every time a cheresh, shoteh, v’koton’s shor is nogach someone R’ Yaakov has to pay chetzi nezek?

    And then the gemarah asks what he did to deserve to have to pay yenem’s nezek??

    I don’t have a source but it stands to reason:

    If you are not doing the sign that the kohanim do, what reason would there be to say you can’t do it?

    in reply to: Star Trek Halacha #784702

    rebbe1: If you’re talking about the hand sign that looks like half of what the kohanim do, I don’t think its a problem since it is only half of what the kohanim do when they duchan.

    I think you can do it with both hands provided you don’t put them together the way the kohanim do.

    Right. You’re walking from a non-existant place (from the mezuzah’s perspective), into a room. The same as walking into a house.

    in reply to: Folding a Talis and Clothing on Shabbos #784678

    what inyan, aside from the fact that people hold you cant fold it on shabbos, is there to fold your tallis on motzaei shabbos!?

    I don’t remember anymore. I recall it had to do something with being oisek in a mitzvah somehow. Maybe since its a hachanah l’Shabbos? I have to try to remember where I saw it.

    So you leave your tallis unfolded from after Shachris until Motzei Shabbos?

    Yes I do.

    yitayningwut:

    Even if the room was too small, wouldn’t that just mean you need to put the mezuzah on the opposite side?

    in reply to: Folding a Talis and Clothing on Shabbos #784671

    I thought the problem with folding a tallis is that you are preparing it for the next Shabbos. Also there is an inyan to fold it on motzei Shabbos.

    Why not?

    in reply to: Removing a Coat and Jacket Simultaneously #784316

    Sorry, I’m half wrong and half right.

    The problem is putting on two garments at the same time. That is kasha l’shikcha. Taking them off is not a problem.

    Its probably like minyangal says: “zeh” is mashmah being moreh b’etzbah, like by kidush levanah, the menorah and machatzis hashekel. So when we say “vzos haTorah” we are moreh b’etzbah.

    I’m sure taamei haminhagim speaks about it.

    I dont understand what you mean about the paragraph speaking about something else thats important too. what else does that paragraph talk about?

    HaLeivi:

    The Parsha of Tzitzis has in it four other Mitzvos, which is the reason that it was added to Krias Shema in the first place.

    do you mean that you can get strep at a certain time each month?

    I got strep and/or strep like symptoms including sore throat and mild to high fever on approximately the same week of every month for about two years. My fevers hit highs of 104 sometimes.

    in reply to: Why Is Tzitzis Mandatory? #794907

    Why do women say the paragraph about tzitzis in shema?

    Probably for the same reason they say the paragraphs that speak about tefillin in Shema. Because it speaks about something else that is important too.

    in reply to: Living within a budget #784098

    I think you have to know your madreigah.

    If you have true bitachon that you’ll have the money for whatever you need, then I would say that is enough. But I think that’s a very high level of Bitachon and most people would instead convince themselves that they have bitachon rather than actually having it.

    I don’t think that there is any reason to connect the Hebrew word “bitachon” and the loshon hakodesh word “bitachon”. But that being said, when I got married and needed to get insurance, my Rebbe didn’t tell me to get the best that I could afford, just a basic regular insurance.

    When it comes to Bitachon, there’s no “one size fits all”. Everyone needs to dicuss with their Rov the level of bitachon that they have and how much of an impact that bitachon should have on their cheshbonos.

    in reply to: Are we really the light to the nations? #783593

    I assume that it is the job of the “Torah Nucleus” (term I learned today) to infiltrate the rest of the Jewish world.

    Actually its been the way of Yeshivos for a long time to set up shop and let anyone that is interested come to them rather than send their students out.

    Today there are different opinions on this. My Rosh yeshivah was of the opinion that it is more important to remain within the walls of the Beis Midrash rather than face teh dangers of the secular world.

    His father-in-law Rav Wolbe felt that everyone should take something like one year out of their studies to do kiruv.

    As WIY said, its not that simple to just pack up a family and their are other considerations that have to be weighed against the doing kiruv, such as the environment for your children that is conducive to Torah.

    As it says in Pirkei Avos, “exile yourself to a place of Torah.”

    Between your question and Another name’s answer we can paint the full picture.

    Reformed and Conservative Jews make up the greater percentage of Jewish people by a huge proportion. The Orthodox in comparison are tiny. How can you expect such a small population to infiltrate into every single community that might have Conservative and/or Reformed Jews in such a magnitude as to actually impact the community?

    I don’t understand.

    There’s a page that has news on it here?
