icedMember
Rav Akiva Eiger holds it isn ‘t a “chumra”, but rather ikur halacha.
December 9, 2012 6:18 am at 6:18 am in reply to: Yasher Koach to Rabbi Horowitz of Project Yes, for protecting and not punishing #912490icedMemberHe is innocent. Therefore he took the stand. The guilty are afraid to testify in their own defense.
icedMemberI’ve heard multiple Roshei Yeshivos and talmidim from completely different backgrounds (litvish, chasidish, etc.) say Gut Erev Shabbos rather than Gut Shabbos.
December 9, 2012 12:19 am at 12:19 am in reply to: Does Country Yossi magazine still feature the coffeeroom…? #911524icedMemberYes, its in the most recent issue of CY. They used a very old thread, though.
icedMemberYserbius: Brisk, Satmar, Toldos Aharon and others do not accept any funding from the Israeli government even what they are legally entitled to.
icedMemberThe conversion is never “invalidated”. Not now and not ever. What can be, and sometimes is, done is a determination is made that the geirus was never valid in the first place (despite the mikva and the entire process) since the prospective convert was never sincere despite his assurances or statements or he held heretical beliefs all along through the purported conversion. Thus he was never a Jew in the first place.
icedMemberWolf: Under NYS statues, it is legal for private schools to use corporal punishment. It is legal in 48 out of 50 U.S. States. What you cited is not a statue and is not law.
icedMemberIt IS legal in NY private schools.
icedMemberMarriage cetificates from the Vital Records Bureau in Ur Kasdim, Mesopotamia.
icedMemberSo can they drink water to make up for the loss?
icedMemberSoviet Russia and Nazi Germany were also established and growing for a while. Was obviously Hashem’s will. And Jews participated too. Didn’t mean acceptance.
icedMemberZK: The caffeine in coffee actually stunts growth.
icedMemberSmart kid; crazy mother.
icedMemberI heard that it is a false rumor.
But I did hear there are many Israeli Jewish, secular and religious, anti-zionists. And they aren’t even secretive about it.
December 7, 2012 2:57 pm at 2:57 pm in reply to: Yasher Koach to Rabbi Horowitz of Project Yes, for protecting and not punishing #912478icedMemberA non-Jewish court, using very flawed and non-halachic testimony, standards of evidence and rules of conviction is virtually meaningless and a guilty verdict there has no meaning.
Literally every day cases of convicts who served long years in prison — including in many cases on death row — are determined they were completely innocent and finally freed. How many more truly innocent are never exonerated we’ll never know. In such a highly flawed and destructive justice system you place your blind faith??? The very same system where the truly guilty — OJ Simpson, Lemrick Nelson, et al — are allowed to walk scot free.
icedMemberYU has a cantorial school, I believe.
icedMemberWIY: Are you implying that tall people don’t shrink?
And what causes people to shrink?
icedMemberWhat is the difference, other than one of terminology, whether or not Og had male children? Legally the Bnei Og (if they exist) would be of the same status as the Bnei Noach. Thus the question is irrelevant from a practical standpoint. It is, at most, only theoretical.
icedMemberWith the right professional, it’s even possible to remember things that never actually happened.
icedMemberAre you fragile?
icedMemberZsdad: Only in public schools. In private schools in NY it is entirely legal to use corporal punishment. (But this is a completely off topic point.)
yitay: It has always been within societal norms to show the kind of affection I described.
Syag: Thank you.
WIY: Today’s rebbeim and teachers very much do love their talmidim/students as much as yesterday’s generation. I disagree with all your points. It is entirely appropriate and indeed commendable for a teacher to impart this type of affection to a child today.
December 6, 2012 8:50 pm at 8:50 pm in reply to: Poorer People Bigger Tzadikm; Richer People Not Such Tzadikim #910867icedMemberartchill: It would be wiser for the rich beinonim to chalish to become a poor tzadik, than the alleged desire you describe.
icedMemberRav Eliashev paskened that if someone underwent the geirus process all the while believing that the world is over 6,000 years old, that the conversion was never valid and he remains a gentile.
If someone undergoes conversion intending to fully keep 612 mitzvos with all the chumros but there is one mitzvah he intends to not maintain, his so-called coversion was never valid and he remains a gentile.
icedMemberA husband by general Jewish law is not required to divorce his wife if he does not want to unless he misbehaved in a specific way against the Torah that gives his wife legally justified cause to demand a divorce in beis din. In the absence of such cause, he may decline to give a requested divorce.
icedMemberBecause the Shechina is not in the bathroom.
icedMemberbasyechida: Why do you suppose men rarely or never wear boots (unless there is inclement weather)? Is having a low cold-tolerance a women’s-only issue?
And do you really think that even a notable percentage of these boot wielding women are really donning this gear for cold tolerance issues?
icedMemberOomis: What did you print on your children’s invitations for the parent’s names? How about your own wedding invitation?
November 26, 2012 8:57 pm at 8:57 pm in reply to: Whats your opinion on this Tzedaka related matter? #910182icedMemberWhat I have done recently is get rolls of quarters (from any bank or the gabbai at Shomer Shabbos) that I keep in my Talis bag.
November 26, 2012 8:56 pm at 8:56 pm in reply to: Whats your opinion on this Tzedaka related matter? #910181icedMemberI have the exact same problem. Sometimes I end up giving a dollar while other times I decline giving. Especially if I am in middle of davening.
icedMemberIt has long been considered proper etiquette in society to refer to a wife as Mrs. Chaim Cohen.
icedMemberThe Ethicist, when authored by Randy Cohen, wrote that people should disassociate themselves with Orthodox Jews who decline to shake female’s hands.
icedMemberGoing out on a date is no heter to violate tznius laws.
icedMemberY’all realy for Cyber Monday? (Seems like prices are a bit better on Black Friday.) How much did y’all spend already?
icedMemberI know that Chasidishe women everywhere and Chareidi (including Litvish) women in Eretz Yisroel do not drive. But even though that is the rule among all the major groups, are there exceptions? Are there a few Chasidisus or Chareidishe kehillos that do permit some or all of their women to drive?
Also, is there a tznius or other prohibition for a woman to sit in the front passenger seat of a car being driven by a non-relative male? What if she is married (to someone else)?
icedMemberMisses means wife of. So Mr. Chaim Cohen’s wife is called Mrs. Chaim Cohen.
icedMemberHow did everyone score on BF?
icedMemberShulchan Aruch does not differentiate between yichud with a unmarried woman than yichud with a married woman. And yichud with a married woman is significantly worse. It is forbidden to have yichud with a married woman even if the husband is in town.
icedMemberDressing to kill is pritzus and always assur.
icedMemberMachlokes Haposkim whether it is assur. But if you’re stam eating turkey (because you happened to get a good sale price on it, for example) and it is only coincidental that it is Thanksgiving but you are not celebrating it, it should be okay to eat.
icedMemberThere’s no halacha that you need to dress your best for a wedding. Only Shabbos.
icedMemberakuperma: So, in your opinion, it is assur to purchase a product that is on sale, if it is a kratsmich sale?
icedMember99+% of the times you’ll never hear about the problem that occured. That is the nature of this beast.
icedMemberGender should make a major difference.
At least if you are a Jew, that is.
November 21, 2012 8:19 pm at 8:19 pm in reply to: we need government paid tuition- let our voice be heard #908357icedMemberThe Catholics in fact do, and long have, been fighting for tuition payments from the government.
icedMemberI need an all-in-one printer with a fax (fax is important) and scanner and copier. Wireless capability is preferred.
What is the best black friday deal for such a product?
icedMemberThese are one on one private sessions behind closed doors that last for about an hour without anyone but the two of them together alone.
You can only imagine what can occur when a man and a girl are in that situation. Often what actually happens behind those closed doors are worse than what you can imagine.
Which is why rabbonim prohibit or frown on such “sessions”.
icedMemberGoyishe kup.
icedMemberchaimss: Wow. You only started thinking and getting into shidduchim 10 months ago and now you are already married a few months. Nice and quick!
icedMemberNatfush: It’s neither. The point simply being Jews that pay significantly above average in taxes and collect significantly below average in entitlement benefits. And that Jews who do legally qualify for such benefits, should not hesitate in collecting them.
November 18, 2012 6:25 pm at 6:25 pm in reply to: What is Nationality if born in Haifa, 1937? #907374icedMemberNationality is not determined by where a person is born. If an American is visiting Beijing and she goes into labor and delivers her baby there, the child is American not Chinese.
