Joseph:

There is also the Mitzva of “Lo theu Beriah lasheves Yitzra”, which transends Peru U’rivu and in some cases is even more Chamur.

I once heard a story from a Rebbe of mine on how parents of baalei teshuva do not understand how they can have so many children. The daughter promptly lined up all of her many children and asked the non-frum mother which one she thinks should not have been born!

Just try to see both sides of the coin. Lkol Zman Ves Lkol Chefetz Tachas HaShamoim,

especially in light of the gedolim saying it is muttar in some cases.

I direct this at you, since the others who “argue” have applied to themselves the statement of Rebbi Yehudah in Gemorah Keddushin 52b, Tannu Rabanan, third wide line.

Wolf:

You probably know more about the catholic/protestant divide than I do, so I defer. Besides, I am not well versed in Nittel (I learn on the night of the 24th), and was just giving a possible answer for the minhag and Svorah of the Chasam Sofer.

Night still may equal more Tumah, which is why when it is night there is more reason not to allow those “Kochos” to adopt the spiritual power of Torah.

No I do not understand the concept, which is well beyond me.

??????? is Latin for C-st, which is why X is used. (copied from wiki)

You can just call him JON, or Jesus of Nazereth.

Wolf: The issue may be due to midnight mass, not the actual day attendance (night = more Tumah?)

yossiea:

to quote a muppet “you have much anger in you, it may be your undoing” 🙂

You have the right to choose your own path (within halacha), but please do not disparage those who choose a different path. That is what you ask from others, so I feel correct to ask it from you and not disparage other’s gedolim.

P.S. Thank you Charles. Dan Lekaf Zechus applies even to public figures, Kal VChomer the Rav.

chaimss:

I had a chavrusa whos father was in the army, i believe involved with computers (worked at some fort near Lakewood). He did not seem to have any issues with Halacha.

As always, ask your LOR.

Mods come on! could we get a “stick to the post” and delete all the hate?

(to quote King, “Can’t we all just get along?”)

(Rodney, that is)

Always glad to disseminate Torah.

I had some oofganiot. Ouch 🙂

Agree that Caramel from Maafe Neeman are the only Sufganiot worth eating.

Simplisticly, it is statistical proof.

I have (attempted) to start a new thread going into additional detail

yossiea:

Exactly the opposite. If one has enough Bitachon he does not need Hishtadlus.

(not to say anyone is up to that level, but the point is true). See the Rambam I quoted.

BLAHBLAH:

So you don’t hold of a Rubah Dlesah Lkaman?

You are against numerous Gemorahs that do hold of it.

feivel:

How very true how we have fallen from our purest form of Avodas Hashem.

SJSinNYC:

Respectfully, I would like to add an additional point of Chumra.

When there is a Machlokes in Poskim, and we Paskin like the Maikel. One who is “Machmir” to be Choshesh for the other side is (in general) praised.

For example, I have heard a story of (I believe) R’ Yaakov who wanted to offer a certain Rav who was with him for Kiddush the right to make Kiddush, but he declined. When pressed, the Rav stated that he had not yet finished Shnaim Mikra, and there is a Shita which hold you are supposed to finish it before eating anything Shabbos day.

A Chumra? Yes. Do we say that anyone who eats before finishing Shnaim Mikra is Over an Issur? I think not.

Country Yossi, not for the voice, but for the content.

Hi, squeak

ywnmember:

You can also animate the picture itself with custom animation.

Whats up (Doc):

1: Demand? How about ask to follow Netiquette.

2: Kedushei kessef BKarka.

3: Thin ice?

Joseph: Agreed. There is never a reason for letzonus. I just like some of the other moshelim as well.

Chuck Schwab:

I’m glad you’re willing to talk about it civily and as a conversation, thats all I asked for, to not post unless you will respond. (I’m still waiting for Doc)

As far as the first point, see what I said on the Chumras post, regarding losing all your OH vs. some of it. I believe R’ Miller ZZL would not have said you lose all your OH if you own a TV, which was the inference I got from posters like The Big One. There are also exceptions to every rule.

I also have seen Rishonim misquote other Rishonim, so don’t be surprised if us minor beings misquote the gedolim. I like to see things in print from the source before I believe them.

The second point is valid; it is an outcome of the type of job I have. I can have 2-3 (as many as ten or more sometimes) minutes at a time while I can only wait for other things to happen before I can continue. I can also type and read very quickly.

Thank you and have a good shabbos.

Joseph:

I imagine it wasn’t aimed at those who only light one candle every night of Chanuka!

Feivel: What was the purpose of your original post?

Joseph:

I refer you to my post above.

There is no reason why all of the mesholim here can not be good and accepted, each with its own criteria?

Have you gone to wild country safari near West Palm Beach?

It should be closed to those in EY, where the Gedolim there hold sports is assur.

Even though in Chutz it is muttar, YWN should not allow posts about sports in respect to those posters in EY. We don’t want them to be Nichshal, C”V.

notpashut:

I apologize. Thank you for the clarification (not getting involved in the other discussion, where it seems that you both actually agree).

BTW (to all), If R’ Miller said “anyone who has a TV gets no Olam Haba whatsoever”, I would like to see it quoted somewhere. Until then I will assume it is hearsay (either not said or out of context). Perhaps he said “someone loses some of their O”H by owning a TV?”

(I do not own a TV)

Thanks.
