Sam2: I asked him about that psak once. He told me that bal tigra only applies if it is efshar for you as an individual. Thus you should still wear white if you have techeiles but can’t wear it for whatever reason (in the wash, etc.)
Dynasty Flooring on McDonald and Foster in Brooklyn sells and rents everything you’ll need.
I already said 10-30 (my post had a typo). Would you take 30-40 and I’ll take 41-50?
20-30
gaw: Jews started doing that well after zoroastrianism was no longer a factor though it is so similar.
You do notice that we don’t jump over the fires which was a pagan custom in Northern Europe.
I did read it, I know your opinion on Lubavitch from elsewhere, and you have shryed “bizui talmidei chachomim” on this forum when people have done much less than suggest that someone on your “good list” was not a posek.
????? is also a Jewish name.
Iraqis do it, but they may have only started with the ben Ish Chai. I’m not an expert but I know that some minhagim started under him. I don’t think ashkenazim did it before very recent times because in Christian countries there would be no hava amina to do it since it was chukas hagoy.
Toi: You would not have dared to say that about any other rebbe, even one who did not produce nearly as much in both nigleh and nistar.
The technical jargon used by English speakers when studying rabbinic literature.
The Rapaports have a shtar going back to the shach who had, as a matter of common knowledge, a shtar all the way back to Ezra. There are several Yemeni families who still have shtaros back to Ezra’s time. This means they are descended from kohanim whose yuchsin were checked by Ezra himself.
Sarfati means “the frenchman.” When a Jew from france came to Tunisia, he would have been likely to be given that name. The Rambam was known as Moshe ibn Maimoun (ben Maimon to us) HaSefardi. The Ari got the name Ashkenazi from his father who moved to sefardic lands from Europe.
Reb Ber: I see it all the time in chassidishe shteiblach (well the one I daven at, anyway). I also haven’t seen many lubavitchers switch to wine either.
It has started. It just hasn’t finished yet.
Done.
Mods, please assign me 10 perakim as needed to be said tomorrow (119 should count as 5 if you give it to me)
Reb Leibel AH’s l’chaim would have worked even better than the Baba Sali’s arak — he drank 96!
Regarding shirayim altz real chassidus as opposed to superstition, I have some serious hashkafa problems with the practice and my rebbeim all told me the same thing you did: nu, don’t take!
120 – 137
Reb Ber: Perhaps you can understand — if not agree with — those who place shirayim in the same category?
Admor stands for “adoneinu moreinu v’rabbeinu.” Some sefardim have adopted the chasidish title.
sushe: I don’t know details. From what I’ve heard he doesn’t let them in in the first place most of the time.
DH: As well as the Navi Yeshayahu.
The only Jewish source I have ever seen for a flat earth is the Ohr Hachaim on Parshas Bereishis.
Who’s Satmar Nechemiah? Name sounds Tzioini
*your
pba: THat’s because it’s hard to be judgmental in an approved format. BTW, you’re question is sociological not anthropological. Go to haskala school.
Chumra haters bug me. But chumra enforcers, them i want to hit.
I won’t be watching the game because I’m not a football fan. Instead I’ll be helping someone else organize a party.
WUM: You are one of many discworld fans in the CR. Or at least one of two.
I forgot.
Rav Schachter doesn’t like toanim to speak during proceedings.
Toi: the baal habos is an endangered species. We now only have kollel yungeleit and kollel wannabes both working and not.
How much does a dayan cost?
The question, when you are teaching Data structures to a room full of geeks is “Guys, can you give me a random number?”
Welcome back!!
I thought we banished you already. We threw you out of our beis medrish and exorcised your shtender with a chorus of 2 Catholic priests, one Greek Orthodox, seven imams, and 12 sikrikim standing around it chanting shygetz aross on a motzei shabbos 3 nights after the full moon while the rest of the oilam was out saying kiddish l’vooneh.
(Mods, please let this through in the spirit of Peerim, the OP, and Moireyni V’rabyni Yoichenan Valker ZYA)
sassenach
Toi: And it’s a great loss for klal yisroel that most of it is considered unprintable.
popa: Which? Maybe they were things that weren’t expensive there because of other factors. Another litvish minhag was to remove the beard just to be kovea the halacha that there was a muttar way to do it. AFAIK this is a relatively new minhag that started just to annoy the chassidim.
How do you know every sefer written is either “extant or referenced in other texts” if it wasn’t, you’d never know about it would you?
Once a charedi — the real deal, as in he was sent by R’ Yosef Chaim Zonnenfeld’s Beis Din — walked into Rav Kook’s beis din in Yerushalayim on some errand or other. He was upset to see that the beis din had modern trappings like filing cabinets and secretaries with typewriters and complained to Rav Kook that it says “chodosh assur min haTorah”. Rav Kook answered that he learns pshat differently. The bochur asked “how?” Rav Kook answered “Poshut! It means that we cannot eat grain from the new crop until the omer is brought!”
According to zichron Yaakov (grandfather of Rabbi Lipschitz of the American Yated and secretary of the Agudah) they did not keep glatt in Lita because it was “motziin mamon shel yisrael shelo k’halacha”
bpt: ad loc is oifgeklerte maskil for “sham v’chu'”. To be really pedantic, every time you want to write ayen sham, write “cf loc cite” in hebrew characters.
Because ashkenazim feel a need to have sects — perhaps an ancient minhag from the bad side of the late second temple era — we have a sect called Modern Orthodox and another one called “yeshivish” (which is a new thing. Ah mohl there weren’t enough yeshivaleith in one place to make a sect) all the chassidim l’mineihem, another one called heimish (cultural chassidim, but no chassidish hashkafa. How this becomes a sect is beyond me) and yet another one called beis-yaakov-yeshivish-withit-light-hold-the-mayo. Sephardim have a much more sensible attitude.
drek.
Kol hamosif gorea.
Of course kol hagorea goreah is also true. 🙂
You are empirically correct.
edited to remove suggestion of how judgment analysis should look. that is also prohibited in this thread. by order of my boich.
Toi: I understand the point you’re trying to bring out, but the story you tell about Rav Moshe is fiction. I know more than one person who would get newspapers for Rav Moshe at his request.
Sheep: You’re right. If conceived to by the wife, then yes.
Rephael: I know what it means.
Daas Yochid: You’re right. The version of daas torah people seem to be defending is not very old. In fact, you might call it an innovation.
You can buy more memory for two, but I would recommend 1 anyway because it comes with Windows 7. XP no longer gets security updates which is a big problem if you spend any amount of time online. You can take care of the ad problem by installing adblock plus in firefox.
Toi does.
pba: your new case for number 6 makes more sense. I would say you don’t call it a sfek sfeka. Ask the widow if she plans on having the baby.
So suppose it is something that doesn’t work it it is gazul. Like a lulav. And suppose he finds out that day. And suppose I’ll figure out a case where you can only do it if it is a chiyuv.
So make up a case and we’ll talk. Since this thread is about “daas Torah,” a Rosh yeshiva I was zoche to learn with taught me not to “talk in the air” without a case.
Zeeskite: If I thought presenting rishonim (including the ones Rabbi Miller uses in his books) would help, I would.
Reb Shepsel:
2- Kiddushin 7a or thereabouts. Look it up.
What do you mean about being sure?
Ctrl Alt Del: Fech, stop being such a machmir!
You need dual core just for the operating system and base software these days. If you’re doing even a little video editing, you want high processor speed and lots of memory. Since you didn’t mention games on your list, I’d tell you to consider your graphics card the lowest priority and stick with the embedded option in favor of more memory. You also neglected to say what your school work is.
This is much more interesting than screaming and shouting koyfer at each other. The following is entirely off the top of my head and I am not in sugya.
1- Maybe
2- Definitely. Even if he shouldn’t have inherited, he was koneh.
3- If conceived by to the wife, possibly. If there was a surrogate mother, definitely not. The only question in that case would be bias znus. (is the kid Jewish if the surrogate mother is not?)
4- Yes.
5- Why should she have to wait? Let her get chalitza and be shot of the whole family.
6- Cite please. Need to see inside.
Now to be yotze getting back on topic: Heretic!! Idolater!! Troglodyte!!! 😛
