Slonimer: You would call the AI of Baltimore and ask if they issued a teudah to xxxxxx. They have a similar service in Lakewood. Many times I check the teudah and find it is passed the expiration date.
As to the number of meshulachem, this week we have had 5 come to our shul.
litvishechosid: To me you are ignoring a passuk in Shir Hashirim: אַל־תִּרְאֻ֨נִי֙ שֶֽׁאֲנִ֣י שְׁחַרְחֹ֔רֶת שֶׁשְּׁזָפַ֖תְנִי הַשָּׁ֑מֶשׁ
LB: I started to answer and was wondering why are we talking about the seder when it wasn’t even chanukah so I looked at the OP and realized it was “bumped”. That being said, we do not have an “official” contract so if you make a mistake “no harm, no foul”.
I didn’t realize this thread was a “bump” from two years ago but….
golfer: the source for you comment is R’ Yitzchock Hutner TZATZAL
We don’t use wine glasses with stems at the seder but use them on a regular basis on shabbosim and don’t have any issue with them tipping over. Why do you have an issue with them at the seder?
CTL: I thought you davened at the compound during yomim tovim.
apushatayd: See Rabbi Hoffman’s article https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/general/1418506/baby-names-halacha-rabbi-yair-hoffman.html
I was always taught that LO SHINU AS SHEMAM was an ideal, not halacha. Rabbi Hoffman brings down at least one shita that it may be MIN HATORAH but it seems from what he quotes from R’ Moshe TZATZAL that is not the case.
The same thing I would say to a stranger……say “I am sorry I didn’t see you” or “I apologize” or excuse me or pardon me. Why would you even think it should be different because it is someone you love?
Joseph: In my shul it’s the opposite. Not a problem during the week but a slight problem on shabbos.
GH: You wrote “there are enough younger bnos yisorel who do accept them and it is crucial for their ability to get out of the house on Shabbos with the kids and live a normal life.”
Are you saying that women who live in places without an eiruv don’t live a normal life?
GH: I always thought it was kippah serugah.
CTLAWYER: I thought we were talking about Shabbos.
If I recall correctly, R’ Yaakov Kaminetsky TZATZAL stated that the minhag in Sladboka was to wear a hat during davening and not the tallis “ibber der kup”. So you can just wear your hat.
The question cannot be answered as each shul is built differently. We don’t have hat hooks. We have shelves in the hallway for hats and if filled, on the top of the bookcases, and if those are filled, on the table next to where we are sitting.
litvishechossid: Many Long Islanders (jewish and non jewish) refer to Target as “Tarshay”.
Bochurim from my neighborhood (Flatbush) walk, bike, roller blade, skateboard to yeshiva without incident.
Is it that you have a common last name that everyone pronounces it a certain way and you don’t? or you just want to tweak it for no apparent reason? e.g. the store Target. Most pronounce it as it is spelled. Tar-get. Others want it to sound fancy so they say Tar-shay (sort of a french twist).
I know someone with the surname “Frei” and they pronounce it Fry. Others in the family pronounce it Fray.
ubiquitin: I grew up in a large Young Israel where we often had these shailos come up. Unfortunately I have had to confront these issues as my father was nifter 30 years ago and at times have had to assert my kadima on his yahrtzeit to daven for the amud. In general, I will cede the amud to avoid machlokes as long as I get the amud for one of the tefilos on that day.
Follow the safety rules for cyclists. If there is a bike lane, use it. Wear a helmet and ride with traffic not against it. The nyc. gov website does have a pdf from the DOT listing the rules for bicyclists.
Rabbi Paysach Krohn discusses the origins of some of the yiddish names in his Bris Milah book (Mesorah Publications). I believe he also discusses that in Hungary, yidden had to have a “legal” name by Hungarian law.
Forshayer: You wrote “The one point that I would like to state is that it seems like most of the earlier Poskim who give their opinion seem to be basing it in a case where only one person says each Kaddish. ” I am not sure what you mean by “earlier poskim” when the Gesher Hachayim was written in the 1900’s and he bases kadima for the amud based on the kadima for kaddish.
The Nitei Gavriel states this outright in Hilchos Aveilus Chelek Beis Perek Nun Hey Sif Yud Beis:

Yeah I noticed it…when I was in elementary school 50+ years ago. And just so you shouldn’t be shocked 5800 will coincide with 2040 just as 5700 coincided with 1940.
DY and Ubi: Agreed that this was brought to the CR. however, since the shailoh came up in shul, it can be asked why did the gabbai not ask the rov.
non political: my comment was not directed at you.
Here we go again with the same members arguing the same positions on CY/CS/CA. We have enough of these threads already in the CR. Let’s just answer the OP’s question.
For those who are makpid on CY, your rants that CS is equivalent to CA are not accepted by those who eat/drink CS. Give it a rest.
At the Agudah convention?
non-member toich shiva
health: that’s why I qualified my statement to a limited group.
Cholent mix, as Meno described is just a mixture of beans so you don’t have to buy different bags of beans and make your own mixture (as was done years ago). Mostly kidney beans, navy beans and pinto beans.
See Gesher Hachayim:

GH: Maybe women would prefer fish; men would prefer meat (ok they would like sushi). The OP though was talking about dairy which I (and my family) take to mean baked ziti, eggplant parmesan, penne ala vodka.
We also tend to forget that during the week of “sheva brochos”, anytime the chosson and kallah eat a meal with 10 men (and a panim chadoshos) they can recite sheva brochos. So if I invite 10 neighbors for a pancake/waffle/french toast breakfast we can recite sheva brochos.
Be safe and don’t send it to them.
In my circle of friends and family, I have never heard that any poseik has allowed taking someone off a respirator.
Depending on the person…they can miss out on life anywhere. There are advantages and disadvantages to both.
Use an encryption program such as BestCrypt on sensitive files.
slonimer: If 6000 c’v passes without Moshiach having yet arrived, will that cause a large scale question of faith within Klal Yisroel? I highly doubt it.
yid18: It depends on a few factors. Is it a Sheva Brochos Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch, Dinner? One of my children specifically asked for a milchigs sheva brochos dinner as he already had fleishigs for 4 days in a row.
Joepsh: While I understand the concept of ein simcha elah b’basar u’vayayin, I have have seen milchigs at a seudas bris, bar mitzvah, sheva brochos and heard about a chasuna where the chosson and kallah preferred milchigs.
Meno: Then please explain the term high-gluten when it comes to bread flour.
rebyidd23: true…but LB didn’t say she was in a gluten free establishment. Eggs are gluten free. I can cook an egg in my house and it will be gluten free.
Gluten free eggs are a novelty only found in the 5 towns??
LU: I have read through your questions. Many of them are one time questions and do not often have to be asked again., unless you forgot what you were told the first time. e.g ashing on one slice of pizza. Most people ask the shailoh once and receive an answer and do not ask again.
It was called Brooklyn before it became known as Kings County. Brooklyn is derived from a Dutch word and was named long before the Counties existed. It was not required to change it’s name when it became known as Kings County in 1896.
joseph: certain kitchen appliances at Macy’s.
This has been known since…..the 1700’s,
What community is fighting over an eiruv?
slonimer: and that is why many people do not use Wikipedia as a valid source reference. It can be edited by anybody…..even if he or she does not not know anything about the subject.
LB: “Have any rabbonim publicly discussed the halachic issues related to head transplants yet?”
Why should they?
shopping613: A person does not learn better with a white shirt or colored shirt. However, if everyone else conforms to the written policy (or unwritten policy), the non-conformist generally will feel uncomfortable and it may effect (affect?) his learning. One of my son’s wears white shirts exclusively (even bein hazmanim); others will wear white in yeshiva and colored shirts at other times.
It would not bother me if someone showed up to date any of my daughters in a colored shirt (well maybe it would if it’s pink).
TLIK: You wrote “The typical response of the Rov is that the parents are at fault, as no Rov wants to go on record as holding a complaint against yeshivos (all of them or a specific one).”
Based on what research do you derive this conclusion?
Uncle Ben: I had both my lower wisdom teeth removed…..30 years apart. The first was due to an infection. The second developed a cavity under the gum and the tooth was disintegrating due to the cavity. In his professional opinion, the surgeon was concerned that it would develop an abscess and the preferred treatment was to extract.
No. I start trying to read up on the subject to become more knowledgeable in it.
lb: From what I have been told, the upper wisdom teeth are easier to remove and sometimes can be extracted using local anesthetic. Generally, the lower ones need heavier anesthetic.
