Heimish Mom: It is NOT a superstition c’v. The Gemorah itself says so.
Wolf – yitzchokm isn’t responsible for the thread closing before he could reply to you.
Why did the Ivy League’s choose Hebrew over other classical languages (like Latin) for their motto?
The Noam Elimelech’s yahrtzeit (that was last week) is one of the days tachnun is omitted.
147: The Litvish don’t have any kehilos in NY?
What other consideration that I haven’t addressed in my last comment?
It is still unclear what specific halachic issues you feel absolutely preclude copying, if any.
In Europe before the war, you were a member of the kehila of the town you lived in.
It seems counter-intuitive for one tzedaka to share its list with others, as that may cause its donors to be stretched too thin.
When do Litvaks skip tachnun?
Somehow, saying a simple “Hi” on Shabbos feels a bit out of place. Shabbos seems to ask for more.
Regarding dina dmalchusa, many poskim (incl. Rav Elyashev) hold that dina dmalchusa only applies to issues between a person and the gov’t (i.e. taxes) and does not apply to issues between one person and another person (i.e. financial).
DY: In addition to the point I made in the previous comment, please clarify on what halachic basis you feel copying isn’t permitted under halacha. (More than Rav X said so. Rather, the basis why he says so.) I believe it will be the taking business away principle, and not theft. (As shoplifting a camera would be theft, but I.P. copying would not be, halachicly.)
Pba: I was discussing from a halachic perspective.
DY: I take it that if, theoretically, one could be and was certain that he would not have otherwise purchased it, you are maskim there is no issur to copy. (Otherwise, why would you be pursuing the point that you don’t think it is possible for a person to be confident of that point.)
It’s done to the sota to embarass her for what shes done. (Even if she was innocent of the serious crime, she was guilty of yichud.)
If you buy a cat and it gives birth, you have two, even though you only bought one. So what? There is no halacha prohibiting owning two of something that you only bought one of.
And if you buy a watch and disassemble it and locate and purchase all the third-party parts the watchmaker manafactured it with, and put a second exactly duplicated watch together on your own, you have deprived the original watchmaker the revenue of had you purchased it from him, that was his “intellectual property” in knowing what parts to use where. Have you stolen from him? Why was he entitled to have you buy it from him?
And perhaps you don’t believe the argument, that you wouldn’t have otherwise purchased it, can safely be used, but others disagree with you. Though, you are correct that one must be honest with himself about the truth of that.
DY: On what basis do you think that loaning/borrowing a CD is any different than copying a CD that you would otherwise have not bought?
It’s hard to fumble for change while davening.
There are various shittos. Many rabbonim hold copying something you would not have otherwise purchased is muttar.
Of course if there are non-immediate family or guests in the house, she must cover.
Feif: You are way off base in how incorrect you are about the reality.
Why the need to apologize for his anti-semitism by excusing it with he never met a Jew. That is an even larger condemnation for his blatant anti-semitism. He never met a Jew and he yet hates them.
That is not a correct assesment.
In the ’50’s and ’60’s in the U.S., there was a widespread disregard – due to ignorance – of the laws of Shatnez and mixed swimming. What sort of speculation would you engage in to find grounds for them doing as they did?
2scents: So, at the end of the day, for the incoming to work properly (718-387-…. and 718-230-….), Hatzalah is relying on Verizon. If Verizon messes up, Hatzalah can only speak to Verizon so they fix it.
BTW, it’s POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service). And VoIP cannot backup an –>INCOMING<– POTS number, unless the POTS provider has a special unusual arrangement.
2scents: Nope. Not with the same telephone number. If your incoming telecom provider, the one that provides you with the telephone number, goes down — then only that provider can reroute the number. You cannot. Anytime someone on any random phone company dials your telephone number, the national telephone network routing tables know which specific provider to route those incoming calls to. You are at their mercy for incoming to that specific number.
How long ago was The Rebbe Reb Meilich niftar?
Who are you (respectfully) to make the determination that all of society falls into that? Especially as a change from the Aruch Hashulchan, who obviously determined all of society does not fall into that, as evidenced by his qualification.
2cents: You are talking about OUTGOING calls. INCOMING calls, OTOH, cannot be switched by yourself.
It is quite interesting that both of Hatzalah’s Emergency numbers (718-387-…. and 718-230-….) are Williamsburg telephone number exchanges. It isn’t coincidence. Hatzalah was started by Satmar chasidim in Willi, and became the citywide, 5-Borough, operation it is today. And all the other Hatzalah’s around the world got their inspiration from NYC Hatzalah.
This is Boro Park’s worst thing.
You can’t take what the Aruch Hashulchan said in limited circumstances and decide that society completely falls into that.
Goq: Do something that will necessitate you wearing a talis. Then, instead of getting mad, you can get even. 🙂
I would say Chasidish marriages are much happier than others.
