Never.
Unless I will get some benefit from doing so.
December 1, 2010 6:13 pm at 6:13 pm in reply to: Give Gentiles Presents During Their Holiday Time #724721HelpfulMemberI didn’t say it always is.
But it often is.
HelpfulMemberIs $9.99 okay?
HelpfulMemberThe humongeous incomparable amount of Torah perminating New York acts as a Shomer.
December 1, 2010 4:59 pm at 4:59 pm in reply to: Give Gentiles Presents During Their Holiday Time #724719HelpfulMemberDo NOT give a gift. It is a chillul Hashem to give one in violation of halacha.
HelpfulMemberThat’s assuming both can’t survive attached.
HelpfulMemberWolf:
A Godol or Posek isn’t consulted for a theoretical halachic issue, which would be a matter of learning not an issue at hand, and thus can be discussed in the CR. A Posek obviously should be consulted – and followed – for an actual shaila of a practical issue at handing needing a determination.
I would be surprised if you mistakenly thought the OP had an actual case that he was presenting to the CR for a final determination.
HelpfulMemberIt depends whether if the surgery is NOT performed, if both can survive attached. There are many known cases of the attached twins living attached for many years. If so, it would seem impermissible to perform surgery that will result in one of the two’s death.
HelpfulMemberMetro, what you describe is not a heimesha attitude, but rather a general NYC wide attitude.
HelpfulMemberThere is an inyan that only a married person should daven for the amud on the yomim noraim. So there is a legitimate thing about limiting things to only a married person in certain inyanim.
HelpfulMembercharlie: Example?
HelpfulMembershlomozalman, while science is true, what scientists claim as science is not necessarily so.
HelpfulMemberA loaded gun hanging from the kids bedroom wall “can be good” under certain circumstances too.
HelpfulMemberHow many Frenchmen does it take to change a lightbulb?
HelpfulMemberTo the poster that calls himself gavra_at_”work”:
Your belief is wrong. The point is academic “modern researchers” cannot declare Rashi’s girsa “incorrect”.
P.S. Rashi’s pshat, is the poshut pshat.
HelpfulMemberI am Moche on the Kavod of the Rishonim (such as the Ramban) that disagree with Rashi
gavra, what are you hocking in chinik? My quoted comment was made in response to a now edited or deleted comment claiming based on “modern research” Rashi had a bad text of Seder HaOlam. It was not made in reference to any machlokes on Rashi.
HelpfulMemberPY: You think its okay for you to say that “hey, maybe Mr. Amsalem is greater than Chacham Ovadia Yosef shlit”a, since only the RBS”O knows”, but its not okay to say “hey, maybe Mr. Amsaelm is on the same level as Stephen King, since only the RBS”O knows”?
The fact is semicha means little, it is not the unbroken semicha of yore, anyone can issue such a document or publish a sefer. It is furthermore a fact, that Mr. Amsalem would like to pretend Russian shotzim are Yidden and C”V allow these shkotzim to intermarry with Yidden. Additionally, Mr. Amsalem would like to drag Bnei Torah by their hair out of the Bais Medrash and away from the Torah HaKedosha.
HelpfulMemberWe need to rescue the Yidden in France – before the French surrender.
HelpfulMembercantor, the current tantz has no outside influence. See the machzor.
HelpfulMemberBP – if you let them drive till 1 AM how in the world do you expect them in bed by midnight??
You’re rules seem overly lax.
HelpfulMemberIf a pre-1-A kid starts arguing on Einstein’s theory of relativity, and someone tells the kid you’re no scientist and don’t have an inkling of relativity or Einstein, Wolf may yell ad hominem, yet it is a perfectly valid point – ad hominem or not.
November 29, 2010 4:08 pm at 4:08 pm in reply to: Give Gentiles Presents During Their Holiday Time #724709HelpfulMember…or Canadian mind. 😉
HelpfulMemberyeshivaguy1, The insurance of the parents go up once a child becomes licensed, even if they don’t get a car or even ever drive.
HelpfulMemberIs the idea here that it should be off-limits at functions for people to discuss their husbands and children — because some members don’t have a husband and/or children???
HelpfulMemberPY: Stephen King also wrote seforim. Amsalem’s seforim are no more kosher than King’s. And as you pointed out, only the RBS”O knows who’s bigger between King and Amsalem.
HelpfulMemberCharliehall – you must be talking about all that motzi shem ra on ywn where people describe you as a far left wing Democrat. B”H you mention it isn’t true. Did you get your latest issue of the Weekly Standard?
HelpfulMemberThe Mitvah Tantz is brought down in the Machzer Vitri, written almost 1,000 years ago.
HelpfulMemberYou can always dispute the credit card charge, and your bank will investigate and do a charge-back against the merchant and refund your money.
November 28, 2010 9:22 pm at 9:22 pm in reply to: Give Gentiles Presents During Their Holiday Time #724698HelpfulMemberAnon for this:
Why do you think it would seem not fall into this category?
HelpfulMemberRon, we wouldn’t care what they saidc about us.
HelpfulMemberModern Yeshivish is someone who started to frei out, but B”H didn’t slide all the way.
HelpfulMembermdd, I’ll leave it to others to clue you in. 🙂
HelpfulMemberThis should be in the humor category.
HelpfulMemberHomeowner, what is the name of the posek who has the final word in your life?
Does he disagree with Rav Moshe vis-a-vis celebrating Thanksgiving?
HelpfulMemberI see nothing wrong. Maybe after the first Jewish magazine no one else can start a mag, since they are a copycat? Copying ideas are the best form of flattery.
HelpfulMemberIt’s a conspiracy aries; a conspiracy.
HelpfulMemberJosh: You’d make a wonderful Mayor of that town!
HelpfulMemberAbout the time you moved there.
November 25, 2010 1:50 pm at 1:50 pm in reply to: The Fight For Torah In America: A Happy Ending #712148HelpfulMemberItche: Rabbi Soloveitchik’s name has been co-opted to the extent that differing students of his will each claim diametrically opposite opinions in his name!
November 24, 2010 2:45 pm at 2:45 pm in reply to: Should There Be An Indication For Gender Under Peoples Names? #712001HelpfulMemberStart a new one.
November 24, 2010 2:40 pm at 2:40 pm in reply to: Modern Orthodoxy, Chassidus, and the Rambam #712155HelpfulMemberThe are legitimate shittos and there are illegitimate “shittos” (i.e. Reform et al). Rambam and Chasidus was accepted as 100% legit by all Gedolim of subsequent doros. MO was not.
HelpfulMemberPerhaps its hard to believe in a place outside of Bklyn, but those of us in Brooklyn ARE strict in our kosher observances.
HelpfulMember<bump> (for WIY)
HelpfulMemberWWoman, Absolutely, I’m anti-goyim. And your view on the Torah, reflects theirs.
HelpfulMemberWWoman – You have goyish hashkofos.
HelpfulMemberKol hakovod to anyone learning Torah and living richly. May they continue to be zoche to be able to learn full time indefinitly AND live richly indefinitly!
November 22, 2010 3:13 pm at 3:13 pm in reply to: Lets ditch the labels there are only 2 TYPES of Jews! #711384HelpfulMemberFeif – it isnt WIY saying that about MO. It is Rav Schwab ztl, Rav Gifter Ztl, and hundreds of gedolei yisroel.
HelpfulMemberThe OU does NOT say its okay to eat in a Starbucks that washes treif dishes with the coffee pot.
HelpfulMemberDont waste money and get an ostenacious custom shaitel.
Buy a Paula Young shaitel.
HelpfulMemberStarbucks sells treif sandwiches.
