I took Kent’s comment to mean the recent innovation of not wearing a head-covering to shul is unprecedented.
I think onegoal misspoke one her first comment above and didn’t mean what it sounded like.
s2021: Aren’t you also a divorced woman?
Isn’t there an issue preparing on Shabbos for something occurring after Shabbos? Would going to there Shabbos mincha time to hear megilla on Motzei Shabbos be a problem?
Don’t you swallow the sugar (or whatever the taste is coming) from the gum? So it would seem to require a brocha rishona but perhaps not a bracha achrona since it is almost certainly less than a kzayis.
For the aforementioned reason (probably amongst others) you can only chew kosher gum.
How does that alleviate the clinging/tightness issue that the water causes.

Define “shave themselves” please. – The simple meaning.
1. See above. Some shave themselves, some by attending the barber.
2. No. There is only one barber in town, as mentioned above.
Go to the riddle thread:

No, since they aren’t a lifeguard. (Besides, even a male lifeguard isn’t permissible.)
Are you thinking in the first person?
I guess she was ugly.
but not bad enough to turn somebody into a complete rasha.
On its own. But who knows what path it may lead one down.
When I went there years ago the only people around were the park rangers and sheriff’s deputies doing occasional patrols.
Park rangers and sheriff’s are no different than a member of the public in this regard.
The town has just one barber and he is male; and every man in the town keeps himself clean-shaven: some by shaving themselves, some by attending the barber.
Doesn’t whatever is worn in the water cling, or becomes tight, to the body?
I would say Sarah Imanu had very good midos despite her great beauty.
Aren’t t-shirts, by definition, short sleeve (or close to it)?
In a village, the barber shaves everyone who does not shave himself, but no one else.
Who shaves the barber?
If you can answer this riddle, I’ll reconsider:
If the barber can only shave those in the village that don’t shave themselves, then who shaves the barber?
I don’t see how women can go there in swim gear if men (even non-Jewish) may see them there.
I only keep friends who are fellow Mensa members.
No men see those beaches?
This sounds like dangerous territory.
That’s still too cheap for my taste. Do you at least have a chauffeur drive you around in a limo? Anything less is not classy enough.
What’s A1C?
chshapiro – Why are you such a cheapskate looking for a cheap hotel?? When I travel to Europe, I would never dream of staying in a hotel less luxurious than The Ritz.
mbachur: Men don’t need their wife’s approval to do a mitzvah.
Can’t the people living in the nearby houses (or possibly passerby’s) in Sea Gate see the people on the beach?
By many Bnei Torah, a husband will not call his wife by her first name if non immediate family is around.
Assuming it is pikuach nefesh. If the baby will otherwise starve, I hear the point.
mw13: Your comments are all well stated and on the button.
Purim is no excuse for that crude vulgar behavior.
The GRA declared in his commentary on Laws of Avodah Zarah that even the Rambam has had certain of his Torah positions corrupted due to the influence of his secular studies in philosophy.
If he’s late for shul, he lost his seat. Guests don’t have to stand the entire davening because any seat might have a regular occupant – who might show up at any late hour of the tefila.
You sound like a normal girl.
Calling by the first name or asking out? Those are two different things. The former is bad, but might be excusable on Purim. (Might be, I’m not sure.) The latter is wrong anytime (even not in public).
How about do some work?
How tall is he?
This should be a last resort. Some rabbonim are very much against it barring strong extenuating circumstances. That being said, if it is necessary, he/she should ask permission/mechilla. Perhaps their ought to be a certain amount of reluctance/embarrassment involved.
Matanas L’evyonim and Shalach Manos are seperate mitzvos. Keep the terminology in order rather than confuse the two.
ItcheSrulik: He would alienate the non hatters if he avoided them being the Shatz. And that would result in them possibly not attending shiur. He may feel its not worth the trade-off, even if less than ideal.
AOM: Reread my comment. The bathing suit remark was a hypothetical comparison.
From what you are saying, you agree we can treat as “halachicly true” (love that term) what Chazal said, even if it has emperically proven to be false. For example the famous “lice” case, where we “know” the opposite of what Chazal said (lice grow from nothing): We either re-interpet Chazal to conform with known facts, or are Machmir as such (since it is well known Chazal did speak in allegory) while considering the other side as well.
Rav Breil, the Rebbi of the Pachad Yiztchok, teaches us that we do not even entertain the possibility of a statement in Chazal not coming from the Torah. This we see from Rav Briel’s answer to the Pachad Yiztchok’s question regarding the killing of lice on Shabbos. The Gemora permits it, based on a scientific fact. The Pachad Yiztchok asked his Rebbi that due to the possibility that this scientific fact is incorrect, perhaps we should be machmir and not kill lice on Shabbos, just in case.
walton157: That argument might be for longer dating times, not longer engagements. Once they are engaged to be married, they are already engaged and made their marital partner decision already. As far as dating times, there are many very strong arguments why it should be shorter, but that is another topic for an appropriate thread. Here the discussion is appropriate contact and length of engagement, not dating.
It is best, and most healthy, to strictly limit contact. It is also helpful to have as short as possible engagement, unless you have almost no contact.
Not once has he asked the baal tefila to put on a hat.
He knows his customers. Why should he chase some away by asking them to put on a hat?
Then I came to realize that THOSE were the clothes that, for them, were their good, SPECIAL Shabbat clothes (as opposed to the navy blue work shirts and pants most guys wore during the week. So, my point is, it is a matter of intention, of kavana, what makes you dressed appropriately, dressed Jewishly. On kibbutz, the clothes I described, along with a nice bright, clean kippah seruga (as opposed to the ones that get dirty looking from working in them all week) is JUST AS Shabbas’dik as a gold striped kapota and streimel for a Yerushalmi, or an 800 dollar suit and a new Borsalino for someone in Flatbush.
Really? So if they run around in their bathing suit all week, but “l’kovod Shabbos” they put on a Gucci T-Shirt and shorts, its just as good as a suit and tie and black hat, since it is the “intention” that counts?
