SJSinNYC:
It doesn’t say anything there about hot weather (just as a tooth remedy). Perhaps there is another Mekor. If anyone can be Mezakeh the Rabbim…
cherrybim:
external vs. internal YH & the Eitz HaDaas (eating it brought YH internally, but there still is an external “Malach”)
After that it gets too Kabbalistic for me.
Joseph:
See Niddah 45a. The Gemorah there (first answer) uses the Pasuk for Romans. Its also (The gemorah)(probably) the Mekor for your Chasam Sofer.
Also, you can’t be an Am Ha’aretz if you want to follow the Chassidish dating system. Since most male daters follow the Achashvarosh method (try all girls, pick the best one), it would place them in the Am Ha’aretz camp :0)
Its a mishna in Shabbos in Shemona Shratzim.
areivimzehlazeh: Thank you
cherrybim: As I pointed out, the gemorah says they (STN, YH, MM) are all the same entity (I believe 16A, but may be off by a daf or two).
Joseph:
Alektrik 🙂
moish01:
Yes (Bava Basra end of first Perek, by Iyov)
Wolf:
No one is talking about punishment. Either you are an Ones, or you are not. Sometimes it is a test to show up on time, and sometimes its a test if you are willing to be late and take care of something more important than being on time. You have to think “what does Hashem want me to be doing now”, and then go do it with all your might (even if it means missing minyan).
Clothes?
If you wear sackcloth due to availus on Yerushalayim, your date may feel (however incorrectly, as you really want to show your availus) you are a little over the top.
Just perhaps.
Nix the lobby, get some food. Third date means dinner.
nossond:
Nothing against you, but why do you say that the dog or pit/bor is due to Poshya vs. Mammono Hamazik?
MAmmono Hamazik is that you are responsible for your object that damages, except whan you are an Ones (such as the gate falling down in a hurricane (First Mishna in HaKonyes)). Bor is due to either you owning the Bor but not the surrounding area or it being Halachicly owned by you, just like Chametz on Pesach (R’ Elazar Besham R’ Yishmael (29b)).
Joseph:
Come on, you’re not going to bring in the pasuk “Basar Chamorim Bisaram”? 🙁
That deserves a topic in of itself.
Joseph:
You can speak Lashon HaKodesh the same way Americans speak Yiddish; substitute everything without a term with its english complement! (from R. Shain’s book, if I remember:)
cherrybim:
It seems R’ Cohen’s point (disclaimer: I only read a review) is that Yiddish is a “lo lashon” (as the Gemorah puts Latin), rather a mix of German (common) and Hebrew (Holy), making it “holy”.
That is my point about Ladino, and Hu Hadin for “Yinglish” that most of the Olam speaks today.
sane:
You are buying it from Jewish stores, where they don’t do a good job storing it! 🙂
By me, I only have a problem in the heat of the summer, and then nothing works for anything.
The parents always have the right to not support their child’s shidduch/style of life. The child may do as he/she pleases (as an adult), but then don’t expect any financial support from your parents.
lesschumras:
Not to argue, (it is semantical), but Chalav Stam is a Kulah (that it’s not Chalov Akum), Chalov Yisroel is not a chumra.
frumsatire:
A jewish song is one “Jewish” people listen to, whomever “they” define as being “Jewish enough” 🙂
Also business casual does not allow Jeans (even w/o a suit).
rabbiofberlin:
I have not commented any more on this (I have said my take, and have nothing else to say on the topic). Thank you and agreed in the most part but…
1: Shiboles is with Yiftach, not Pilegesh B’Givah (right sefer, just earlier).
2: Greek has intrinsic Kedusha (whatever that means, I’m not a mikubbal:)(The Gemorah Megillah I quoted earlier) as well as Aramis (as the Lashon used in Chumash & Tanach (as you pointed out)).
I also apologize to Ames if I made her feel bad.
BTW, I walk out when a speaker starts up in Yiddish. Refuse to believe they can’t speak either Lashon Hakodesh or English (Especially if they are tring to raise money!)
squeak:
They must all be from Ephrayim. 🙂
Just reply: siboles?
Ya’ll just do a search, it’ll cumup.
ames:
Its not Yiddish, its Nach! (Which I guess I don’t expect the guys to know, but I thought you were a woman)
areivimzehlazeh:
Are you from Ephrayim?!
cherrybim:
C”V! anyone who wants to speak Yiddish can and may do so. Just don’t complain when no-one (Like the Rav’s Mispallelim) understands you! 🙂
Hebrew is the same (or any other language, such as Russian or Polish). Don’t complain if people lose interest (Or English in a non-English speaking country).
Anyone here speak Ladino? What it is like/similar to?
squeak:
Shiboles!
teen:
You just don’t notice those who leave you alone 🙂
Itzik_s:
The story I heard is with Reb Chaim and a Ketzos (on Purim).
You can always quote Nazir 33b.
Joseph:
The Hebrew you and I (would) speak is Lashon Hakodesh. Ivrit is what the Yordim speak (or what you may see on Israeli TV, but I wouldn’t know), with their slang and adapted Arab curses.
The only two languages that are “intrinsically” holy are Lashon Hakodesh and Aramis (e.g. Yigal Sahadusa, Daniel). Greek/Yevannis gets special metion for as per the the Gemorah in Megilla (Rav V’Shmuel 18a).
SJSinNYC:
Well said. Halacha is exact. “four inches” either has a Mekor, is made up, or is an approximation for something else that has a Mekor. Teen (or anyone) can ask for sources, and if not given them, ask/follow someone who will show sources.
(off topic, but a followup to a closed thread (please allow))
(SJS: As far as the Chachamim & reality, I tried and was blocked (correctly, I might add). Have a look at Dafnotes for 12/20/06 which brings the idea.)
flatbush27:
Sounds like you are getting personal. I’m suprised the mods let it through. You seem to have an ulterior motive.
ARE YOU A SMOKER?
Also: Has your Rav allowed you to be in the coffee room?
Please respond (if you will) to the two questions posed so that your Negiyus will be clear to all.
Either way, quit before your hole is too deep to climb out. After all, you have internet (And if you want, don’t support the Mir. I don’t.)
flatbush27:
This is the Mir. You and I both know there are no rules. If you want somewhere with rules go to R’ Friedman in Beitar or Brisk. Not the Mir.
Thats what makes it great. Anyone can join.
oomis1105: Nothing against you, but you are a woman. You know not the power of the Dark Side, and the ease of falling into its trap.
That all said, who cares. The point about smoking is a good one, whether made in a proper setting or not.
flatbush27:
Who says its not in his dorm to call his mommy in Chutz?
SJS:
I will try to do so, perhaps tomorrow if I have time (unless someone else starts it, Kol Hakavod!)
Tal & SJS:
“GAW she is trying to prove that Rabbonim are never wrong.”
C”V! Thats why there is a Par He’elam, because the Sanhedrin can be wrong, Kol Sheken our modern-day Gedolim!
“1) All human beings are flawed (Only Hashem is perfect)
2) All rabbonim are human”
Yes, but they normally have a better idea of how things work with a Torah perspective, which is why their advice is helpful (when dealing with serious issues that advice is needed, not on chulent recipies!:).
Rabbonim do create reality, but that is for a different thread (that may be inapproprate for the coffee room). (Rosh Chodesh & Bas Gimmel) Vhamavin Yovin.
It seems to be normal for union shops (have management take over during a strike). Almost happened a couple of months ago by us.
Nobody:
Amen!
BTW, The Gemoros do not argue. Even if the former wealthy individual goes back to work but can not keep his prior standards, it is a mitzva to give him tzedoka to help pick him up. He should try hard not to take it, but is allowed to do so if needed.
On another of your points, an unpaid internship is always good experience, and can (and has) turned into a paying intership and/or a job.
Itzik_s:
Shema Hichlafta Bein Eyov L’Oyev?
I also do not think the moderators would have allowed borderline Kiferah on the site.
(GMAB is not SJS)
Nobody:
I hate to disagree with you, but there is offen a Gemorah in Pesachim 113a (also BB 110a) that is against you, and says one should take any job, even one disgusting and extremely menial, rather than taking Tzedaka.
Walking into Wal-Mart and filling out an application is (in general) a possibility.
Of course, Kollel is probably a better paying option (taking into account Klei Kodesh discounts, no supervision, unlimited sick leave and better hours!)
tal:
I have no clue what you are saying, but I assume it means we should follow the non-faker Gedolim?
If so, I second.
Joseph:
I am sure at this point we are discussing semantics.
Just be sure your Rav (CV, not yours per say, but in general) is not a faker. Sometimes its too late to tell.
lesschumras:
Actually, that is the view of the Gedolim in EY. Soak the government (in EY) for every penny that you can get. Agree to nearly anything as long as the Yeshivos get funding.
C”V that we should argue with the Gedolim.
SJSinNYC, squeak:
Oh No! I see it now! We are being conditioned to be Communists! 🙂
mazal77: Agree with charles. Moral support is always helpful.
Ra Ra Ra! GOOOOOOOOOO Mazel77!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
All of one’s acts, from the mundane to the G-dly, should be “spritually infused”. We are here (in part) to make the Gashmius into Ruchnius.
mazal77:
As far as you know, Hashem wants you to earn millions of dollars a year, live in a fancy house and drive a Lexus, and support all of the Kollelim.
As far as you know, Hashem wants you to eat dry bread and be an example to us all.
As far as you know, Hashem wants you to sell your furniture (even as is) to support Kollel Bochrim.
As far as you know, Hashem wants you and your family in a one room apartment in Mea Shiarim and you will have to answer why you have a house (and internet!).
Hate to be realistic, but we do not KNOW what Hashem wants.
As an additional point, Hashem punishes anyone who withholds him/her self from pleasure they should of had in Olam Hazeh. (Nedarim 10a) (seems Nedarim is popular today 🙂
I believe most people these days, even with housekeepers, clean/prepare for Shabbos.
whatshaiches:
As I gave credit, someone else (Orthonomics) typed it for me.
I don’t like the word “backlash”, discussion/Shvil Hayashar is a much nicer term. My point was only that you are not crazy when you think others believe incorrectly “working = rich”.
ames:
I will only make a point within the context of the post (following guidelines), that this admin thought the working man was rich, and even when it was proved he was poorer than himself, the admin still thought the worker was rich or (possibly) was supposed to give up his smaller share to those who had a larger one, because those who had a larger share were in Klei Kodesh.
Just to prove the point. This was the first letter to the Yated this week.
Dear Editor,
At the conclusion of this discussion, the administrator told me that he still feels I should pay a higher amount towards tuition since I work.
A Yungerman Who Now Works
(Thank you orthonomics for not making me type this up).
Joseph:
Agreed, but I will not vouch for anyone’s Rav that they are not a faker (as we have seen happen, but will not discuss). As I said, you must know your rav.
The shibudim are not as big of an issue as you may think since she can be Noder to get around the shibudim. (e.g. Nedarim 15b)
Ames: you have put it very well.
squeak: agreed. Just note as below, you must know your Rav.
Joseph: Can you give me a Mekor that it is Assur to be a Moredes (not “it is bad, but you are oyver the issur of…”, and not that you are stam not fulfilling your shibudim). There may be one, I just can’t think of it off the top of my head.
Also B”H from my Rov I have seen (as I stated from my Rov above), you are correct that they will defer, but I will not make a blanket statement about rabbonim that I don’t know. You have to pick a good Rov.
notpashut:
The gemorah is not Pashut?:) You are Chayiv for being Mevayesh someone even though they personally are willing to embarass themselves. What is “not Pashut?”
lesschumras:
It depends on your upbringing, whether you are OK saying good shabbos (Which is very different than hello, where it is the “Minhag HaMakom” to say Good Shabbos to everyone).
Where it is Bedavka not (such as Mea Shiarim), you may be looked on funny
