T22T: Never assume. The נטאי גבריאל says the exact opposite about a fire escape – HASUKKAH KESHEIRAH (Hilchos Sukkah 4:5)
http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=46442&st=&pgnum=75&hilite=
TLIK: I was always taught that it was the passuk in Mishlei 13:24 that speaks about corporal punishment: חוֹשֵֹ֣ךְ שִׁ֖בְטוֹ שׂוֹנֵ֣א בְנ֑וֹ וְ֜אֹהֲב֗וֹ שִֽׁחֲר֥וֹ מוּסָֽר: He who holds back his rod hates his son, but he who loves him disciplines him early.
Notice that “חושך שבטו” is the BEGINNING of the passuk.TLIK: I have looked in Mishlei and cannot find the words מגלה פנים בתורה שלא כהלכה. Please point me to perek and passuk.
CTL: On #3….I read his words differently. I thought he just redistributed his seforim between his friends. Reading your understanding of the scenario I defer to your answer.
Lchatchila one needs permission and their is a machlokes if one can make a brocha if built without permission:

One can make a brocha on a sukkah built on his property even if the government forbids it :

However, since the sukkah is not stolen and KARKA EINO NIGZELES (Nitei Gavriel 4:12):

ctlawyer: While I understand your comment I would like to know: is it any difference if I have 2 pieces of luggage and one is slightly underweight and one overweight and I sit there switching items from one to another to get both at the weight limit? or I have two pieces at 40 lbs and take some of the seforim for this person? Or my carry on weighs 10 lbs and I take a few seforim from this person, is it “evasion” or “avoidance”?
I think Joseph meant to say that the size of the garment needs to be 24 inches according to the Chazon Ish. According to R’ Moshe TZATZAL it is 21.25 inches and on can be machmir up to 23 inches (http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=916&st=&pgnum=228&hilite=) and according to R’ Chaim Noeh it is 18.9 inches (http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=20888&st=&pgnum=326)
thinker123: I think that is the point. We can find the chilazon but are we sure we know it is the correct species?
DovidBT: I have and use both round neck and v-neck. What tzitzis I wear depends on whether I am wearing a round neck or v-neck undershirt. I prefer the v-neck tzitzis when wearing a v-neck undershirt.
The NITEI GAVRIEL does not mention whether hespeidim can be made in these days, but does state both shitos as to saying or not saying tachnun.
http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=46442&st=&pgnum=478&hilite=
yitzyk: That is what I was trying to convey (you said it better). However, since the OP has now clarified that he was at a levaya with chassidisheh rabbonim it makes sense why he thinks people who don’t say tachnun “can’t” deliver hespeidim.
However there may be a difference between Nissan and Tishrei. The reason why we don’t say tachnun in Nissan is that the first 12 days each have a kedushah as the nessiem brought their korbanos for the chanukas hamishkan and each day is considered a yom tov; erev pesach, pesach itself, and isru chag, most of the month (22 of 23 days in chutz l’arretz) has passed with “kedushah” so we treat the other days as “kodesh” and we don’t say tachnun or make hespeidim. (Mishna Berurah, 429:2 SK 7).
The Shaarei Teshuva in Sif 131 states two reasons why we don’t say tachnun until Rosh Chodesh Cheshvan.
1. SHEHHACHODESH MERUBAH B’MOADOS (seems to be a different reason then “kedushah”).
2.Since the month NICHNAS B’ENUI RAUI HU SHEHYEITZEI B’SIMCHA.
However he states UBEMIDONOS EILU EIN HAMINHAG KEIN.Eli51: It could be based on what I quoted above from the Shaarei Teshuva about the month ending in simcha is what the Rav you heard was referring to. However, the Ezras Torah luach mentions that on the 4 days between Yom Kippur and Succos we don’t say tachnun nor are we mazkir neshomos, it only says that “we do not say Tzidkoscha Tzedek because it is isru chag; (some do not say Tachanun until after Rosh Chodesh Cheshvon)” it does not state anything about hespeidim or keil moleh.
Eli51: Let me clarify. You wrote “while those that daven nusach sefard or don’t say Tachanun cannot.” I am not sure that your statement that nussach sefard cannot say a kel molei or make hespeidim is correct when it is only a minhag not to say tachnun. For example, there is a minhag not to say tachnun during the shivas yemei hamiluim (23 Adar – 1 Nissan) yet hespeidim are delivered and kel molei’s are made during that time.
The Aruch Hashulchan uses the expression “V’Yesh shein noflim ahl peneihem ahd achar Rosh Chodesh Marcheshvan indicating that it is only a minhag.
TDH: Did they pay to advertise it? If not, then who would know about it?
Not all Nusach Ashkenaz minyanim say tachnun before beis Marcheshvan. I am not sure you are correct about hespeidim or not.
t22t: I just want to make sure…..your answer is not based on your own experience, only on what others have told you? My answer is based on my personal experience.
There are no “elite” schools……only administrators who think their schools cater to the “elite”. Ask your friends where they send their children and what they think of the mesivta. Is dorming an option or do you want your children home every night? Is a strong Limudei Chol department important? My sons have attended yeshivos as diverse as Mesivta Rabbi Chaim Berlin, Yeshiva Chofetz Chayim (Queens), Meon Hatorah (AKA “Roosevelt” now in Monsey), Belle Harbor. Each of my sons was included on the decision. Some wanted to dorm; others didn’t. Some wanted a challenging Limudei Chol department; some not. If dorming is not an option, then Philly and Long Beach are not even in the realm.
Another question is whether your son’s elementary school has a mesivta. If yes and your child is finding success, why switch?
LB: I would think it is the same halachah as a rainstorm. If it is causing one “tzar”……
IMO, no they are not cumbersome.
takes2: You claim “Dass torah is a newly manufactured word.”. To my knowledge it isn’t so new….at least it was used by Rav Pam TZATZAL in a drasha he delivered. (I am not sure the exact year). He is quoted as saying “many of you have come tonight thinking you will hear daas torah. All you will hear is Daas Avrahom Pam”.
There are reasons to live in Brooklyn just like there are reasons to live in Atlanta, Baltimore, Cleveland, Denver, etc. I am against trying to impute what a “godol” said years ago about Brooklyn to today’s society. I doubt even members of Reb Avigdor Miller’s family would guess what he would say today with the migration of frum communities across the USA. One thing I am convinced of…..the five boroughs is no longer the only place to live.
LB: If one spills water on the floor can one wipe it up?
Allowed? Yes.
Doesn’t mean I would do it or recommend it.
Queens is out of town??????? To my knowledge R’ Tzvi doesn’t favor location over another.
Yes, I would say “what sort of name is that”? Would your child feel uncomfortable? That question cannot be answered. I know people with “mainstream” names and they are uncomfortable with either their name or initials…for example Binyomin Shmuel or Binyomin Moshe.
Of course there is the Country Yossi song “A boy named Zlata”.
What do you mean by “out-of-town”? Since he and the yeshiva are in Yerushalayim and he only accepts people from Chutz La’aretz, everyone is out-of town. His yeshiva has bochurim from the US, the UK, Canada, Mexico, France, Australia….
GH: Where is that CHAZAL? And where is the halachah that on can use a reverse time difference with EY?
lesschumras: You wrote “I find these Yiddish-centric criticisms amusing.” I looked at the first 20 or so posts and I don’t see anything even close to a Yiddish name being mentioned let alone them being criticized.
skyz: I don’t know what website you looked out, but I am not sure what they mean by “The name Sivan is a Biblical baby name. ” The word Sivan does not appear in the Torah but does appear in Megillas Esther. How then is it a “biblical baby name”?
marbehsholom: I don’t know any smoker who doesn’t smoke during a “3 day yom tov”. They refrain on Shabbos only. Go to any yeshiva gedola and you will find the bochurim/yungerleit smoking. Is it right or correct? I personally think not. However, once someone is addicted, quitting “cold turkey” is difficult.
Eating ptcha, kishke, and other fatty maacholim are also problematic based on current medical knowledge and one might be oiver on “Venishmartem”. Does it fall under the aveirah category like “eating chazzer”? I am not so sure.
WTP: While I have heard of the girls name Aviva, I have not heard of Aviv. Those names though are not relate to the chodesh named Av. Aviv either means springtime (Shemos 2:15) or to ripen. (Vayika 2:14).
As for the name Nissan….I stand corrected from my post above.
LB: I have 2 friends who each named their seventh child (girls) Batsheva. Probably the most famous one of this generation was Reb. Batsheva Kanievsky A”H.
We generally stay away from creating names (as you asked above Batshmoneh or Benshesh).
A Rav can be approached with any question you have in life. Naming a child is a significant event and the advice of a rov is always welcome.
My wife and I never discussed possible names until she was in labor. We had situations where a close relative was niftar right before she gave birth. All of our children were named as a zechus for a deceased relative.
LB: Since Batsheva was Dovid Hamelechs wife and Shlomo Hamelechs mother……I would say yes, it is more appropriate.
LB: I believe there is a name Nissim (as in R’ Nissim Hagaon), not Nisan. The name Avi (generally a short name for Avrohom or Avinoam) has nothing to do with the month of Av. Personally, I have never heard of the name Sivan, which is why I suggested the OP talk to a Rav. So in answer to your question above….I do not know anyone named for a “jewish” month….even though those names are actually a result of Galus Bavel and came up to EY by those who returned from Bavel.
I grew up with a credenza. If your parents didn’t own one why would use the word?
marbehshalom: In the archives of the CR you will see plenty of posts on the smoking issue. Mark Twain’s famous line was “Quitting smoking is easy. I’ve done it 100 times myself”. Those of us who are non-smokers cannot understand the addiction.
skyz: Asking a Rav is your best option.
Almost every long-time poster has had post(s) rejected, asked to rephrase or shortened. Have you read the CR rules and the Moderation Memos?
I have noted a number of your posts that I cannot understand due to the lack of punctuation, abbreviations, and no sentence structure. If the Moderators have asked you to correct your posts and you have not, then look in the mirror and decide if you should change or keep having posts rejected.
It depends. Sometimes after 5 dates; sometimes 10 or more. There is no correct answer. If the parents have met and everything is “b’seder” with them, it should be on the next date.
Twisted: “Don’t do this folks,”. Please let us know what “this” you are referring to.
Meno: I agree with you that there is no special inyan to burn it. The question was what does one do with the esrog if they dont make jam. We happen to burn it with the chametz.
GH: and in the 1970’s it was riding bicycles, playing softball and going bowling if it rained.
Since we burn the other 3 minim with the chametz we burn the 4th one too.
לֹ֥א תִשָּׂ֛א אֶת־שֵֽׁם־יְהֹוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ לַשָּׁ֑וְא – You shall not take the name of the Lord, your God, in vain.
There are two rules – Safeik D’oraisa L’chumrah and Safeik Drabbonon L’kulah. If you have a doubt if you shook the lulav and esrog on the first day of sukkos, you would have to do it again as it is a mitzvah D’oraisa; however, if your doubt is if you made the brocha before shaking the lulav (but you do know you shook it) you would not make another brocha as that is a safeik in a drabbonon.
GH: You wrote “normally, at the yeshiva, he could roll out of bed and be in the beis medrash for davening within a few minutes”.
That is if you are actually dorming by the yeshiva. My son’s dira was a 15 minute walk from his yeshiva.770chabad: and what is your source that you say borie nefoshas on multigrain cheerios? The Star-K says it’s Al Hamichya.
In a non-shmita year we save it and burn it with the chametz.
ubiquitin: I was referring to Yaakov Avinu
I have a hard time understanding Rav Gavornlik’s position. A person who normally davens in yeshiva at 8:00 AM should daven vasikin bein hazmanim to show his discipline? Wouldn’t davening at an 8:00 minyan show the same discipline he shows all year?
When my second oldest son was a “bochur” (his chasunah was during 5777), his decision what minyan to daven at bein hazmanim would depend on what time he was meeting his chavrusah to learn. He generally davened at 8:00 but sometimes he was able to sleep “late” and daven at 8:30.meno: according to the Star-K “CEREALS AND THEIR BRACHOS LISTING” (located on the Star-K website) the brocha rishona is Mezonos and the brocha achrona is Al Hamichya.
Well is she is a survivor……..I would let her give me the brocha anyway she wanted.
