anon1m0us: The Gemora (Mesechtes Shabbos 62b) says a reason for the destruction was too much cosmetics. The Gemora also gives multiple reasons why the Beis Hamikdash was destroyed. One reason doesn’t contradict another. They all are valid. Do you also have an objection to the Gemora telling us the Beis Hamikdash was destroyed because of sinas chinam? According to the krum logic you are using, only Hashem knows why the Beis Hamikdash was destroyed. Same with the holocaust. The reasons given by the Satmar Rebbe, the Chazon Ish, Rav Miller, Rav Henkin, etc. are all valid and correct.
“Bemakom sheba’alei tshuva omdim…”
We are not talking about baalei teshuva. We are talking about the opposite — frum people that became mechalilei Shabbos, etc.
anon1m0us: There is no stira (contradiction). There are many reasons why the holocaust happened. What Rav Miller zt”l, the Satmar Rebbe zt”l, the Chazon Ish zt”l, Rav Henkin zt”l, etc. all said is 100% correct.
The Gemora also gives many reasons why the second Bais Hamikdash was destroyed. One gemora says because the women wore too much cosmetics, another says sinas chinum, and others have other reasons. They are all correct reasons.
Eight paragraphs begin with “Because”, not “Perhaps”.
smartcookie: I thought your boys are very young still. How old’s your oldest boy? You give $100 to his Pre-1-A rebbi?
The Gedolim have a right to say why a tragedy happened. More than one godol explained why the holocaust occurred.
Someone who was never frum might be a tinok shenishba. Someone who was frum and became frei is a rasha.
Does anyone know even one godol who didn’t wear to davening any hat or head-covering, in addition to a yarmulka?
Good point. I would think the pay-stub would in fact count as a kinyan. Kind of like when the Choson makes a kinyan at the Kabolas Ponim.
Also, it may be a separate question as to if (and if so, when) non-Jews are ever permitted to overthrow their King, under the laws of Bnei Noach (specifically under the “dinim” part of the 7.)
Then we can ask if Oliver Cromwell was so justified in overthrowing.
Cromwell had a job, and he very possibly did it sustaining the fewest overall casualties. Assuming that you can agree with the cause (overthrow of the monarchy), then he may have done the right thing. If you disagree with the cause, and think the Irish were right in suppoting the monarchy, then no justification can be made.
I think Cromwell was a friend of the Jews. Nevertheless, from a Jewish legalistic perspective, how can overthrowing a monarch be justified in this case (or in general)?

Interesting selection Mike. About as good a selection as most of the selections others made above.
Would your wife take a bullet for you?
Wives, would you die to save your husband?
It is part of the uniform of a Yeshiva man. It indicates one is a member of the Yeshiva community much the same way fatigues uniform indicates one is a member of the military. Just like military uniform has changed over time, so has the Yeshiva uniform, and this is part of the current uniform.

I don’t think that chochmah bagoyim means to be inspired from them. Just that if they tell you that 2+3=5 then you can believe them.
Agreed 100%!
See the Mishnah in Horios 13a (Mishna Horayos 1:7 or 3:7), Beis Yosef YD 251, Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh Deah 252:8.
Even if he’s late for shachris. She is his wife.

I like ItcheSrulik’s response. I read it as “its much easier to teach Gemorah than it is to teach Yisodos”.
It sounds like you’re taking a potch at the chinuch method’s utilized by our Beis Yaakov’s and Yeshivos, that presumably follow the standards of our Gedolim. Am I misunderstanding your point or reading it wrong? Thanks
Guy-och just said it’s the husbands money. What he means is that all money and assets in the family (except a few exceptions like the wife’s wedding ring) are owned and belong to and are the property of the husband not the wife, under halacha, as any money she earns or comes into possession to belongs to her husband.
It does make sense Syag, but it may leave a contradiction, albeit an understandable one. If you have more than one child, and you risk your life for one of them, you have the same issue of looking out for the welfare of your (other) children, that you speak of in the case of risking your life for someone else’s child.
Re Q2, even if it would erase all that (and instead install all his friends stuff), would it also unlock the internet?
I started a new thread to continue that (off-topic) discussion:

How does the firmware upgrade remove the protection undetected?
Sean, also, even if you don’t give him access to the computer/screen name that houses the sync, could he not do it by a friend?
Talk to us and pretend we are your psych. It may achieve the same relief.
aries: Would you take a bullet for a random child you were passing on the street?
Sean: Guy also mentioned a second method to disable the controls of “One way is if you upgrade to a newer firmware, it is impossible to know it was upgraded.”

Was the Starbucks ban the straw that broke the camels back?
I saw one put out in front of a house on 12th Ave., right off the corner of 61st. Maybe you can still grab it.
A6Kilo: What about the pig burial option I’ve mentioned?
mdd: How do you come around demanding others ignore cultural differences for consideration in potential marriage, when you’ve previously indicated your own sinas chinam that you wouldn’t date (and even dislike!) Chasidim?
They aren’t permitted to overcharge in the first place. The recourse is if they broke that law.
Yes. Thanks for sharing!
I think the bathroom analogy, made above, is a valid one. Is there a strict prohibition of using an open latrine placed in middle of an open room, so long as the person is completely and entirely covered to the point it almost looks like he/she is just sitting on a chair comfortably?
