    GH: It is not “absurd” to ask if something is halachically mandated. In this case, we know that it cannot be “meakeiv” as L….11210 states above, one does not shower on Shabbos prior to going to the mikvah.

    apushitayid: My son was in Lakewood and avoided the freezer by starting to date before the zman started. As per BMG rules he was allowed to continue dating her and B”H the shidduch came to fruition.

    Why are you moderating while driving? Isn’t it safer to wait until you arrive at your destination?

    LU: I agree with you that it is not a crisis for girls who are 22 or younger and not yet married. I am also not in agreement with the new initiative that boys should start dating earlier (21 and not 23). Many bochurim are now going to EY after 2 – 3 years after graduating form Mesivta whichm eans that they will be in EY when they are 21 and 22. I also do not agree that when someone is in EY for two or three years and then come back and go to BMG that they have to be in the “freezer”.

    I don’t know if what the “mekor” is but we find that certain simanim in the Shulchan Aruch have the “osios” rearranged to not spell certain words:

    Siman 275: The siman is referred to as “AYIN REISH HAY” and not “REISH AYIN and HAY”

    http://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=49625&st=%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%94&pgnum=107

    Siman 344: The siman is referred to as “SHIN DALED MEM” and not “SHIN MEM and DALED”

    akuperma: You wrote “It proves only that a prosecutor is out to get you, not that you are guilty.” As someone who works for a prosecutorial agency I find this statement “offensive”. While it is possible that an elected District Attorney may want to bring certain type of prosecutions, line Prosecutors are not out to get anybody. White collar crime investigations are generally investigated for 1 or 2 years before they are even presented to a grand jury. Many times the potential defendants are given an opportunity to meet with the prosecutors to work on a pre-indictment resolution. We do not know if this was offered in this case. While I do believe that a Grand Jury “can indict a tuna sandwich”, more often than not there is still evidence that something is wrong.

    Bottom line is that the major areas where we voted were in states that Trump lost so our votes didn’t make a difference. Just remember, without NY and CA, Hillary would have lost the popular vote.

    For those of us old enough to remember, the Lubavitcher Rebbe had a similar escort to visit the kever of his shver. It isn’t new. I don’t know if those were police cars or other types of vehicles that have permission to have sirens. If it is the latter, it is probably a misuse of the sirens.

I personally have some “shiechas” with the family of R’ Shlomo Gissinger of Congregation Khal Zichron Yaakov and you may want to call him for guidance.

    ZD: The doubt was only in Japan and once the Chazon Ish gave his psak the hanhalah and talmidim of Mir only observed 1 day. Everyone agrees that Shanghai is west of all the halachic datelines and only held Shabbos for 1 day.

    ZD: Even according to R’ Tukatzinsky, it is not the same issue. Hawaii is totally west of his dateline so he holds that on what we call Friday, is Shabbos in Hawaii. His dateline runs through Alaska (part of the state is to the east and the majority is to the west. We don’t know if he holds that the dateline zig zags to allow for contiguous land area to be in the same time zone (Australia) (shita of the Chazon Ish) therefore it only a safeik. See the Dateline map on the Star-K website.

    If you didn’t want anyone to answer you, then why did you bother posting in the first place? This is a forum; you post and we then discuss. If you didn’t want that then write a letter to the editor at The Yated or Mishpacha.

    SG: None of my other children were burnt out at 10….Do you actually have children of your own? Or just someone who is totally clueless?

    Do I or any other parent have to wait and fight not only other yeshiva parents but public school parents in late August and early September?

    We took one Sunday morning (the seventh Sunday since school finished) to shop for his supplies (since his school lets the parents know in advance what to buy).

    Vacation…..the whole summer when he is in day camp and doesn’t come home to do homework. Almost every parent shops for school during the summer months (at least for the basics) when they are on sale. Every Sunday has been either going to parks or other child related activities.
