icanonlytry, BenTorah, Helpful, chesedname. I think mosherose is something else.
Most ISPs give static IP addresses, especially for broadband connections which are always on.
not I: Now to turn it around, why? You have to be able to back it up.
Shticky: Oh! yivash’u — “they will be saved” not yevosh’u — “they will be ashemed.” gotcha. Though it still is ????? at least in my tehillim.
Yivoshu is spelled ?????
I apologize, higayon was a mistake, possibly (mis)remembering a vort I saw somewhere, though the rest are described various places in gemara. Grammatically, higayon is the noun form of hegyon which is in turn a binyan (that turns the verb into an adjective on libi in your example) on the root heh-gimmel-heh which refers to a specific type of conteplative thought. Looking at the verse “Higayon b’kinnor” it seems to refer to an example of a type of musical composition for a kinnor. *which is only a violin in modern Hebrew! end minirant*
Fair point about the kedusha. Though in a way, those are the easiest to translate: just point at RaMaK and say “what he said.”
?????? is a pejorative word for someone who is extremely frum, sometimes refers to someone who is like that superficially, but has bad middos. Similar words in “der shprach” include: greasy, farfrumpt, ????? (not actually sure how to spell that one. never heard anyone under 60 use it.)
If two people, say a guy and his basement tenant, are using the same router, they will have the same IP address to anyone who logs them. They could each be completely unaware of each others presence. The only way to tell for sure is if the person was stupid enough to register all his sock puppets under the same email address.
I can’t believe you people take such fancy ovens for granted. In my house our oven doesn’t have a red light. We preheat the oven before we start doing anything and it’s hot enough when it’s time to put the food in. NO, this is not bochurishe cooking, my mother does it that way too.
To quote my rebbi: Anyone to the right of me is a frummak, anyone to the left of me is a shaygetz. I am perfect.
Kinnor and navel are stringed instruments, a higayon is supposedly a type of woodwind.
Pashuteh Yid: Funny, I thought the high point of birchos krias shma was ??? ?????
Shticky: was that addressed to me?
The stress is part of the pronunciation. The first dagesh vav that comes to mind is the word ??????? in the parsha of Asham Metzora. Ask Wolf or another baal kria. I am one, but not very experienced.
AinOhdMilvado: Wearing arba kanfos without tzitzis is being mevatel an aseh. Not wearing arba kanfos is simply not being mechuyav. Similarly, if you don’t own chometz on erev pesach you are not being mivatel tashbisu.
Bezalel: It’s in the mishepara in perek Hazahav in bava metzia. It refers to someone who sells indigo and claims it’s tcheles. In context, it’s a curse on someone who passes off counterfeit merchandise dishonestly. Scary stuff. IIRC the nusach includes the Egyptians, the prophets of Baal who challenged Eliyahu and lots of other very miraculously, very dead sinners.
The cheshbon is that techeiles and tzitzis are two separate mitzvos. Tzitzis is a mitzva on the begged, tcheiles is a mitzva on the tzitzis. (according to RaMBaM, RAAVaD says they are one mitzva). We are putting ourselves in a position to be mechuyav in tzitzis out of chavivus, but — if we don’t “hold of” Radziner or murex tcheles — we are onsim on the second mitzva and can wear arba kanfos without a problem.
Incidentally, RaMBaM is in the minority when he says that the wrong tcheles passuls the tzitzis. By all rights Brisk should wear a Rabbeinu Tam k’shira with one thread being Radziner tcheles and the other being murex to be yotze kol hadeios.
The Persians had institutionalized child-sodomy.
A partial list of collapsed empires that didn’t condone gay marriage: Egypt, every single chines imperial dynasty, the Tokugawa shogunate, Spain, England, France, Soviet Union, Nazi Germany.
I think you have teh rule with the vav wrong. It’s voo when the first vav has no vowel and the second has a shuruk. We both agree it’s mileil, right? I transliterated it HAV’vos because when writing words phonetically in English, the accented syllable is in caps.
The hebrew side just has the words with nikkud, but it is very carefully edited with attention usually reserved for tikkunei korim.
Dr Hall: You make my point for me very well. He was talking about a community structured very differently than the ones we have today. His list is predicated on a certain community structure. We have a different one. Incidentally, whose post is the quote beginning “shouldn’t you also…” coming from? The rest of your post is written as a rebuttle to mine, but I didn’t write those words.
The only one I had trouble with was ?’ ??????????? ???????????? ????????? ??.
I put some serious effort into learning the Hebrew language becuase not knowing what davening — or even many of the words they threw around while learning — meant was one of my major gripes in yeshiva.
When I said that it was a necessary part of the infrastructure, I meant that it was so according to the halacha in RaMBaM under discussion (end of Sanhedrin ch. 5). I guess since our communities are structured differently than they were back then, they have different needs. After all, the RaMBaM’s calculation was based on having a bes din of 23, a single melamed for the entire community, and other things that aren’t part of our system today. Does riverdale have a tanner? Flatbush doesn’t.
off-topic: You teach at Einstein? Do you know… (modern orthodox equivalent of mikvah gossip ensues)
The phd is obviously the exception, but it all boils down to the question of whether everyone needs to be toraso umnaso. If they don’t, then let them learn 3-5 hours a day. The fact is, a lot of people don’t do much more than that while in yeshiva and some do quite a bit less.
I didn’t say that they never spent a few years in learning. I said that they made most of their kinyan torah while working. I.e. a 65 year old man who matches the description you suggest, but is now a retired actuary living in flatbush. Are you going to tell me that everything from the time he turned twenty-one was just chazara? (These details aren’t made up out of my head. I’m talking about someone in particular.) Obviously someone who plans on being toraso umnaso has to take it at least as seriously as any other umnos, but you can become a talmid chochom –not rosh yeshiva level, but a talmid chochom nonetheless — learning part time.
As for your moshol, I once worked with a guy who was doing just that, except it was two phd’s in completely different fields instead of law school and an MD. At the same time, some of our coworkers were in medical school while going for a phd in some other science.
1-That’s right, it’s mileil on the syllable hav. The vav must be a vav not a melupam/shuruk because the hey already has a nekuda.
2-No, and the English translation is stilted and frankly not that great, but the Hebrew side is very meduyak in girsa, based mostly on R’ Yaakov Emden. And that was a misleading typo, it should have said “I’ll” say rather than “I” say as in I should say. To be honest, I don’t watch the dikduk much while I’m saying korbanos and just say “bar kapara” like we do in learning. Sorry.
3-Once again, you’re right. it’s yacheyd. Yachada is Chabad-ari.
4-Of course it’s muttar to say havaya, but I don’t think that’s what the nussach says. All l’shem yichuds are based on the Ari. The basic idea (very basic) is that mitzvos “reunite” the two halves of Hashem’s name — the yud-hey and the vav-hey in a “yichuda shlim” — complete unification and we are declaring our intent to make the combination through the mitzva we are about to do.
Yes, people forget that one somehow…
Who said he wouldn’t do it with Jews too?
Good Jew: 62 in which mesechta? I seem to recall a gemara in the first perek of brachos where it was Rashb”i who did that.
I do what it says in the Birnbaum siddur, which is very meduyak.
It is pashut that it is a community thing. A 10-member kollel is part of the necessary infrastructure of a kehilla. That does not mean that everyone is chayav to be one of those 10, otherwise, where would we get the toen and the nitaen?
yitayningwut: I disagree. We all know talmidei chachomim who either work for a living or are retired and made most of their kinyan torah while working.
1)According to my Leiter’s tanach (Berlin) it’s HAV’os. There is a messeg under the first vav. My guess is that it should sound something like two vavs with the first being a shva nach.

Sacrilege: For someone who treats the name Darwin like nivul peh, your views seem to owe a lot to anthropogeny.
I heard it was Rav Boruch Ber who went to see the Alps.
Fargo, North Dakota used to be an ir v’em b’yisrael, and had a large community of observant jews (somrei shabbos) back when the New York community was not as observant as it is now. Unfortunately the community is now gone.
metrodriver: It was clear that TMB was using shogeg in the general sense of “mistake” rather than the technically correct halachic term. The thing is, the action is by definition not ????? once you know the light is there. In that case it becomes ???? ????
TMB: yes, that’s exacty what we’re saying.
blueprints:
a) No one disagrees that they were a minority for the reasons you mentioned.
b) Why?
c) Though they were a minority, as we already agreed on, they were far from the ony three.
popa: They do accomplish the same objective; limmud hatorah. If that isn’t the objective then says so.
I, for example, go to college. I think it’s better to learn 3-5 hours a day and go to college (and waste time on the coffeeroom) the rest than to learn 3-5 hours a day and spend the rest batteling and talking lashon hara because there’s nothing else to do in yeshiva.
First of all, you appear to be asking two different questions. In the case of the automatic light, the light is going on because of you. In other words, you turned on a light, just like if you flipped the switch, so you are really asking if walking in the street counts as ????? or possibly ???? ???? ??? ???? ??? . In all the other cases, the melacha is a process set in place before shabbos; your being there does not influence the camera in any way.
I’ve learned these halachos, but not in any great depth, so I won’t say anything more even though there is no danger of anybody taking this as a psak.
I’m a bochur (if the name didn’t give it away). I would never dream of asking for a picture. Personally I think the best response is to draw/print out a female face silouette and write across “your preferred looks here.” Should send the message. If not, there are always male relatives with bats.
I repeat, by cleaning the microwave thoroughly, so there is no mamashus.
Which is why you must clean the microwave thoroughly first. I was once told by a rav that I should be machmir if possible.
The translation common today was done by a Dr. Whiston (doctor of divinity i.e. a protestant minister) from the original Greek.(Josephus himself wrote two versions, one in Greek and one in Aramaic. I don’t know if the aramaic one is still around.) ???? ?? ??? ???? is the kindest thing you can say about it. The Christian influence is so overt that it’s a charicature, which makes it very easy to tell where he’s being influenced by his own beliefs.
Jose: Talk about kleinikeit. You are completely sidestepping the topic.
Mod-80: I move that this thread be closed. If people want to prop themselves up by denigrating good middos and anyone who possesses them, they can do it in a physical coffee room.
so right: It shtams from Machzor Vitri the same way I shtam from Belarus, i.e. my ancestors were there, but I have never seen the place. The machzor vitri makes no mention of a rav or rebbe, and definitely not of a gartel or of kabbalistic inyanim.
Minhag Yisruel Torah is basically the authoritative reference on all Satmar minhagim. It should definitely be in there.
I thought that it was simply the mitzva of simchas chosson v’kalla, keitzad merakdin etc. with the addition of the rebbe doing his own dance a) because it would be a great simcha for the kalla that the rebbe is dancing for her and b) the various kabbalistic inyanim in the steps.
myfriend: Shas’s agenda was not given on har sinai.
That’s another issue entirely. I think the OP was asking about someone who got a serious semicha.
If nothing else, it’s basic derech eretz to call a rabbi “rabbi” unless he asks you not to. It’s just like a phd and the title Dr. He earned it and it would be insulting not to give it to him. Anyway, who is this “Michael” you’re talking about?
At a guess it could be the bikkurim: ?????? ???? ???? ??? ??????
Yeyasher Kochacha! That was a very thorough exposition on were the zohar stands in the rules of psak. It even explains why there are stiros between how RiSHBi paskens in the gemara and what he says in Zohar. Just a couple of points you raised:
1- You mention toras kohanim. I didn’t use it as an example, but it actually is the best example of what I’m talking about. THe midrashei halacha were written by tannaim and were very meduyak (even more than the baraisos of Rabi Oshiya) hence we pasken like them far more than the medrashei aggadda which are less meduyak, as you point out, and are not always even meant to be din.
2- You write: Those who relate more to Sohd will follow Sohd as much as possible. This is where the Teffilin on Chol Hamoed comes in. If not for the Zohar Hakadosh, the usual rules of Paskening would have everyone donning Teffilin on Chol Hamoed.
There is also the matter of family minhag. My father is less “sohd oriented” as you put it, yet he still wears tfillin on chol hamoed as do I, because that’s how he was taught and I do because it’s his minhag. So in a way, even by the normal rules of psak, people end up following sohd.
3-Although all Torah Lishma is real of course, the other explanations are like offshoots of the main trunk, while the Sohd is the trunk
Lav davka. Many acharonim paskened wihtout sohd because they held differently, but I see what you are saying.
HaLeivi: I take back the word “heter,” it was bad phrasing. What I meant was, usually when nistar differs from nigleh — especially l’hakel, which it is here since the gemara calls it a b’dieved not to here yourself — the obvious question is “why?” As for the zohar being no different than a baraisa, I have a question for you: for purposes of din, is it considered a medrash halacha (like sifra, mechilta, etc) or a medrash aggada (like medrash rabba, tanchuma etc.) I’ve seen it treated both ways by today’s rabbonim; do you know of earlier sources?
myfriend: You seem to be disagreeing with the word “scientific” more than with anything I am actually saying. The geonim were in Bavel. As the masses of yidden moved to France and Germany, the rabbonim and yeshivos moved with them. You may have noticed that after the geonim, most of the rishonim live in ashkenaz. Rashi– Learned in Mainz, lived in the Alsace-Lorraine region. Most of the baalei tosfos — northern France. Anyone who learns rishonim knows where they lived because references pop up. If you want seforim that deal exclusively with the subject, the Chida wrote one (forget the title, sorry) and more recently we have the Legacy of Sinai series in English which charts the mesorah from Moshe Rabeinu to Rabbeinu Moshe ben Maimon to Rav Moshe Feinstein. There is also Toldos am Olam in Lashon Kodesh.
“as in not having the authentic tav dagush”
Don’t you mean “tav rafeh”? A lisp can be described as pronouncing a shin as a tav rafeh.
Regarding your other speculation, it is a well documented scientific fact that the nucleus of galus ashkenaz came from bavel. The division between the rishonim and acharonim was when — to put it poetically — the kesser Torah moved to Ashkenaz.
That was why ashkenazim lost the vav (pronounced whoa) and gimmel rafeh, pronounced (ghhhhh); there is no “w” or glottal (I think) “g”in German.
EDITED
In my limited experience explaining briefly and with a smile works fine.
The question is what the Arizal’s heter was.
ICOT: true, and I witnessed one of those break-fasts last night. Mazal tov to them.
blinky: Besides the Amshinover shlita, do you know of anyone who fasts in our generation? I thought the minhag to rely on a siyum (despite the fact that the Mishneh Berurah did not sound so happy with the heter) was accepted by everyone.
Chalila!! I’m saying that he didn’t pasken in his Shulchan Aruch like every shita he brought down in his Beis Yosef (for those who don’t know, both were written by the same person, Rav Yosef Kairo.) Look it up, I believe it is somewhere in the late Mem’s. Let’s agree to both check and post the din whichever way it is; nesei sefer v’nechzi.
