MDG: So when does the killer get the protection of the Ir Miklat (from Goel Hadam) *only* as long as he remains in the Ir Miklat?
I have no qualms at all using food stamps. And since the law allows any food items (other than prepared food i.e. restaurant), it can be used for any food items.
I still don’t understand WIY’s comment that it involves eishes ish (since it is a case of an unmarried woman and married man.)
cookies: I agree with yitayningwut. I have good friends 20+ years my senior and junior.
MiddlePath: B”H. So we see that the Rabbonim shlit”a do in fact handle this well, contrary to the frum-bashers comments.
anon1m0us: Are you really oblivious to the massive amount of Chareidi-hatred expressed online in mo blogs?
WIY: How is adorable playing around with the issur of eishes ish?
It’s yichud and assur.
Who is starting these riots and why???
The same kind of people that start riots in America.
tracht: You are engaged and falling into this with someone else?
coffee: What does that accomplish?
MiddlePath: How did they handle it?
If it’s so dangerous, why bike on the roads?
You are using non-standard definitions of Chareidi. Even the Eida HaChareidis is called that not by coincidence.
Anyways, you still haven’t elaborated on how you said you agree with me, to a large extent, on the definition of Chareidi — sans the Kollel issue.
Obama will probably blame Bush. He’s been blaming Bush for every problem he’s had for the last 3 years.
bpt – do you cycle to work?
Now, if you want to define Chareidi without the Kollel vs. working aspect, then I will agree with you, to a large extent.
Can you please elaborate on that point?
(BTW, I still don’t agree with you on the Kollel aspect. Even in Eretz Yisroel the proportion of Chareidi men in Kollel is a small portion of the number of Chareidi men working. Two points you should consider when analyzing my point is that 1) Chasidim are a large part of the Chareidi population and they generally do not stay in Kollel long (if at all) [but even the non-Chasidic Chareidim are much more working than learning full-time] and 2) Official working figures for Chareidim are very very underreported in Eretz Yisroel due to the draft situation.)
A lot more Chareidi men today work than are in Yeshiva, so the similarity to times of yore is more similar than being admitted. I doubt even 10% of Chareidi males over 18 years old are currently in Yeshiva. The derech they practice is the continuation of the derech of Klal Yisroel, with some changes throughout the generations (as golus inevitably does to us) but nevertheless much more similarities.
Were Sura and Pumpedisa also “recent innovations”? Brisk, Telz, Mir, Volozhin, etc. were all spiritual successors of Sura and Pumpedisa.
gavra_at_work, Do you actually think that pre-war Brisk, Telz, Mir, Volozhin, were akin to modern orthodox?? Yes, I know there were incidents were some outcasts were caught with kefira in the dorm, but the reason it is mentioned is as the exception.
The bottom line is you must admit you have no halachic source (presented) allowing music in the 3 weeks.
I’m a milichegs person.
What you are saying makes no sense. No one (cited yet) holds you can play music all year including the 3 weeks. Rav Moshe said all year no. And the many poskim Chacham cited said all year yes, but the three weeks no. So everyone said no during the 3 weeks.
What are the best and most compensated work at home jobs?
How much are the inexpensive hotels in Niagara? Where is the best place to reserve them (i.e. priceline)?
A Kanoy can do it to a Bo’el Aramis after the maaseh (as Yochie seems to be saying) or only during it? And is any warning needed or can he just do it on sight?
And does the Mishna in Sanhedrin 73a refer to both voluntary and involuntary mishkav zochor when saying “achar hazechur”? And is it only applicable to na’arah hame’urasah or to an eishes ish as well?
And is it applicable only before the act? If the witness finds it in middle and the person refuses to stop, the witness can’t do anything on the spot to save the victim?
Rav Moshe in igros moshe says that there is no difference between sefirah and the rest of the year in regards to music.
Is that not because Rav Moshe is machmir against music equally the whole time? Which means Rav Moshe too, like all the numerous poskim cited by Chacham, says no music during the 3 weeks.
It hasn’t been “popa_bar_abba”s style to be quite so over-the-top.
Under his standard screen name. But what about under his sock puppets?
This one alone (per the profile you linked to) is 10 months old with many posts all this time.
CA: What does he think?
BS: Why so nasty?
Josh, surely you are not suggesting that only a wealthy wife and daughters can be kol kevuda bas melech penima?
With Siyata Dishmaya we have a one income family, working father and a mother that’s a mother.
With that kind of mazal, I would suggest in the future you always vote for the candidate you don’t want to win.
I’m so sorry what you went through happiest.
Shadchanus is like picking stocks. When picking individual stocks you rarely win. You need to buy mutual funds with many stocks and you’ll have some winners. Similarly in shidduchim you keep throwing darts until some stick.
How do you find old threads? And how many are there?
The last time? The only time. Anyways, he didn’t go directly from 1 Police Plaza to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. He made some stops in between.
Because it makes clear that there is a stocking and is not bare.
Yaakov Avinu did 3 things when he was about to face Eisav: Tefila, sent presents and prepared for confrontation.
Traditionally that’s what we’ve often done when in trouble. When some anti-semite came to do us harm, we’d pull out our wallet say “Hey, Chris, here’s some gelt, go enjoy a few beers at the bar.” He would forget that stick he came to beat us with and run off for greener pastures.
The same thing we’ve done for thousand years fighting radical Christianity and anti-semitism.
Have u extended your own debt ceiling ?
With my credit cards.
bpt – You’re not an American? Are you Canadian?
I doubt anyone falls for this drivel.
You never utilize a term that isn’t found in the dictionary in your speech?
A person who is mechallel Shabbos can do teshuvah and turn his life around. All the teshuvah in the world however, will not bring back a murder victim. It is comparing apples and oranges.
Both a mechallel Shabbos and a murderer can do teshuva.
How much should one expect to spend going on a trip?
What do you do that allows you that flexibility?
Should we treat a mechallel Shabbos with at least the same contempt that we treat a murderer? If not, should we then treat a murderer with the same love we treat a mechallel Shabbos?
Q: How many men does it take to open a beer?
A: None. It should be open when she brings it to you.
Q: How many men does it take to fix a woman’s watch?
A: Why does she need a watch? There’s a clock on the oven!
That depends. In a Chasidic shul you shouldn’t be wearing a tie ever. In a Yeshivish shul you should always be wearing a tie on Shabbos. You must be referring to the beinenim.
