So, whats the story with Mogen Av? Heller?
Just follow the advice of the Rambam in Hilchos Deos. Don’t go back for doubles at the shmorg, don’t make too many l’chaims and don’t go back for more schmaltz herring. Eat healthy, excercise regularly and you won’t need “supplements”.
The musician or Mashgiach?
“I think that I am the most misunderstood poster in the CR”
“Not by all”
A mother always understands her babies cry.
Can someone please provide the SOURCE of this supposed psak by R’Chaim Kanievsky Shlita? Is it published in a sefer? Which one?
I have a hard time writing a shayla to the Rav shlita that begins; “While browsing through the YWN Cofee Room…….”
“If you wouldnt leave the house without a hat and jacket, when would you be somewhere that you didnt have your hat and jacket?”
My hat and jacket dont approve of everywhere I go, so there are times when they stay home and I am forced to daven without them.
How about those Haifa Heat?
Let me get this straight.
Its OK for YWN to run an ad for the Haifa Heat, but it is assur for them to host a sports thread?
I wonder how the Haifa Heat would react when they found out they are paying for an ad on a site whose editors felt it wasnt proper to have a forum to discuss sports. Either that, or they are afraid how Joseph and Squeak would react.
“what happens when you put Joseph, jphone & squeak in a locked room for an hour?” Joseph and Squeak would daven biyichidus because they are not macshiv tefila bitsibur, while I blogged on ESPNs web site (since YWN wont put up a sports thread) until it is time for minyan at the local shul.
“So you see yourself as being just like them?”
Thats how YOU choose to see me.
Let me make my point, and if you dont get it (or dont have the mental capacity to get it), I wont bother to repeat myself.
For the 6th time. There are times I would prefer to blog about sports and sports figures than how many latkes I ate on chanuka, which YWN moderator is my personal favorite (its moderator 1,346,876 by the way) or the latest “psak” issued by the YWN beis din about wearing a hat, or trying to “out” another blogger.
I highly doubt R’ Chaim Kanievsky Shlita said its better to daven biyichidus with a hat than to daven bitzibur without one.
They may not discuss the Yeshiva world but they do discuss…..
Good places to go on vacation.
Places to get a good meal (OK so it isnt chulent)
The best private schools available in various cities
The latest politics
The latest news and tidbits that affect members of the aythletic community
Other Athletes
The hat other athletes do or dont wear (OK the blog I refer to is about goalies masks, not hats, but close enough)
In short, the same narishkeit one can find on YWN one can find on the blog of an athlete.
Humor.
Shlit”a
OR, dont play with play dough on any surfaces used for eating or food preparation.
2 points.
If you choose to send your child(ren) to a particular school and they have specific rules, you should keep those rules.
If your kids are not in a particular school and a Rosh Yeshiva states in his opinion and it is contrary to what your particular Rav/Posek tells you to do, then follow your own Posek. I would assume that your own Rav/posek is aware of the statement of the Rosh Yeshiva in question and chooses to issue his psak anyway. even if he is not aware, it is his Daas Torah that you are following.
Sports thread.
The Rav Z’l was a Rosh Yeshiva for close to 50 years. It is likely he had thousands of Talmidim, 95% of whom nobody here ever heard of. It is impossible to say who the “biggest”, “greatest” or “best” talmid is/was. Perhaps most popular, but that’s about it. Is it really important who the most popular talmid is?
Does anyone care who R’Shach Z’l most popular talmid is?
I am willing to bet that most YWN bloggers never heard of the “most popular” Ner Yisroel musmach, (nor should they care to – as this person became the head of the JTS) popular in the sense that more people heard of him than probably, lihavdil elef havdalos R” Ruderman Z’l himself. Does it matter, unless you are specifically looking to learn the torah and derech of The Rav Z’l who is most outstanding talmidim are? Are you doing research for a biography?
There’s “all of the above”, and then there is Joseph. So full of himself, there is no room for anything else.
I know that I am the favorite potser of Moderator-1249, she told me herself.
I don’t know about more moderators, but definitely more sports threads. 🙂
Now, if one of the people inside were buzzed, there would be a whole new problem. Who wants be left along with a shikkur? Therefore, I say, there is likely a 3rd person there already in which case depending if there were 2 males or females yichud may or may not be an issue at all.
Of course, if all three people inside are buzzed, there may still be a problem because noone inside would be able to be a proper shomer for themselves or anyone else in the room.
There is still room to be lenient if none of the doors had buzzers, all were made of glass and the alcohol was less than 40 proof.Maybe. To rely on this heter, I respectfully submit that you ask you LOR not all LORs subscribe to this heter.
I don’t get this entire thread.
I understand someone has an issue that people can be engaged in business without being experts in choshen mishpat. I suspect the legitimacy of the question though, when after several tries, he/she won’t answer why this is any more an issue with those who are engaged in business than those engaged in anything else in life. Seems to me that the questioner is bashing those who engage in business. Perhaps the original poster should offer an apology.
Moderator 55, did you work as inspector 14 for Hanes in your previous job? I haven’t seen your labels in undershirt packages for some time. I wonder if its because you’ve now moved from assuring the kashrus of Hanes undershirts to assuring the kashrus of posts on YWN. Welcome.
Yahsrus. Don’t assume. You ignored my question altogether. Does anyone consult a Rav everytime they have a shayla about anything? Should they? Is everyone a baki in all 4 sections of shulchan aruch with nosei keilim that they can answer everything that comes up in life?
Why is going out to business any different than driving a bus or teaching in a yeshiva? The shaylos may be different, but your question still remains.
Sports thread.
I think the subject of the thread should be Yichud, not Yichus. Then again, if you get the wrong answers here in the coffee room there may be questions about your kids Yichus 🙂
Probably best if you took this Shayla to your Rav.
How do people do it? they do it the same way they do everything else. Hopefully you learn what you have to, if you did not, or do not remember what you learned, hopefully you have a Rav to guide you.
This is true of everything in life, not just going out to work.
Take an Avreich sitting and learning. When is it appropriate to interrupt ones learning and do a chessed and when not? Does it depend who the chessed is for? Does it depend if others are around? Does it it depend on the type of chessed?
Take the average housewife. She cooked a pot of soup. It is cooling on the table and sees bugs floating on top. Does she spoon out the bugs and eat the soup? Check for more bugs like she was doing bedikas chametz? Does she have to throw out the whole pot?
Take a bachur in the dormitory. He is trying to fall asleep but he is hot? Can he open the window to cool off? Does he have to consider his roomate who makpid not to have the slightest hint of cold in the room?
People learn. If they dont, hopefully they have someone reliable to consult with. This is true for all people in all walks of life. It is not limited to people who go out to work.
Learning all three “Bavas” will not prepare someone for the workforce. In addition to Choshen Mishpat, there are very relevant halachos of Even HaEzer, Orach Chaim and Yoreh Deah that apply as well. Its a good thing most people dont believe they learned everything they need to know while in Yeshiva. The expression “Live and Learn” is quite appropriate.
“Do u know how many issurim ppl are oiver everyday!!”
This is unique to going to work because?
How many issurim are people oiver in their daily dealing with family, neighbors and friends?
Your point is? That people should learn? Thats a chiddush? Was I just oiver an issur with my reply?
amen
“HE was the excuse, not the REASON!”
Did I disagree with this sentiment? All I wrote was that yidden were slaughtered in his name.
BYM: DEFINITELY? You were there? As many opinions as there on here in the coffee room, there are as many opinions in the seforim. The yaavetz writes that there were NUMEROUS Yeshus referred to in Shas.
Greek and Roman mythology is filled with many people whose backrounds are similar to the “founder of christianity” (actually that was paul – but thats another discussion).
I still dont see why we are discussing someone in whose name yidden have been slaughtered and buthcred for over 2000 years.
#72. I’ll take mine with 2 splendas and a little skim milk. Of course, I expect a cheese danish too.
If the moderators will allow this link.

If you wouldnt have text messaging like the Rabbonim have requested, you wouldnt have this problem!!!
Given the claims christianity makes about ueshu, when he lived and when he died, it is highly unlikely that he was a talmid of R’ Yehoshua Ben Prachya. R’Yehoshuia Ben Prachya lived at least 100 years before the churban, (Hillel – at least 1 Dor later -was Nasi about 70 years before the Churban). The Chacham Tzvi says there were several Yeshus who Shas refers to. The christiam one is not him.
Missionaries (unfortunately, I have had the perverse “pleasure” of engaging these people in debate)do not bother to try and shoehorn him into Shas, they would rather shoehorn him into Tanach. It suits their purposes a lot better. It is mostly hate sites and anti semitic preachers that try and claim Shas (the Talmud as they refer to it) portrays him in a bad light, and make outrageous claims that Bilaam is a code word for Yeshu. They are the ones who claim that the gemara about Ben Patera is about yeshu. They are the ones who claim the gemara about “Miriram Megadla” (either bonim or sa-ar – this miriam was either a nanny who raised kids or someone who did hair) is really a story about mary magdalene.
Whether his name is Yeshua or Yehoshua also depends on who you ask. The misisonaries who call themselves “jews for j” call him yeshua – savior.
Whatever his name, yidden have been slaughtered and buthchered in that name for more than 2000 years. Do we have to talk about him?
Opinion is – yes or no. Not, its assur and your a goy for doing so.
On second thought, these studies prove what the torah tells us. If the torah (the ultimate authority) tells us to wipe out amalek, we do. We are not supposed to have rachmanus on an amaleki, no matter how much they cry out.
I think the name he really wanted was jinglebelz, but that was already taken and jinglebobov didnt sound roight.

“Basically he did a experiment to test obedience, which proved that most people do obey authority even when it means inflicting pain on someone else…”
I never heard of this study and have no idea how this conclusion was reached and have no basis to disagree. Nonetheless, I would have thought that the obedience wasnt about inflicting pain on someone else but avoiding the pain on themselves.
Chazal praise the shotrim in mitzrayim, not because they did not hit their fellow yidden, rather, because they were willing to absorb the punishment themselves. In other words, they overcame their fear of being hit and said “rather I be hit then I hit him”.
Same with Miriam and Yocheved (Shifra and Puah). They were not as concerned about not hurting someone else, as they were in doing what was right, even at the risk of getting hurt themself.
In short, I would argue with the conclusion drawn by this study and say that people are not obedient to the point where they would even hurt others rather, I would say they are obedient for fear of being at the receiving end of whatever it is they are doing to the next person.
There is another popular study done that says people are motivated by 1 of 2 things, fear and money. The fear of being hit, or the monetary gain is what causes someone to be obedient, even to the point of hurting another person.
I wonder if Joseph and Yossiea are the same person arguing both sides of the coin just to stir up the pot.
“(BTW, whoever says it’s not “as bad” as Lashon hara, fine, but are we opening a thread devoted to lashon hara?)”
Any thread that discusses any person or group is a potential thread for lashon hara.
“How bout no Lashon hara and no sports!? What a brainstorm!”
What about, no lashon hara, no sports and no blogging?
“but my grandmother does own a TV and i did watch the super bowl a couple of years back. some of those ads are disgusting and should be rated R.”
Probably true. What does that have to with discussing sports?
Hmmmm…..
If eating Sufganiyot was a sport, would a sports thread then be muttar?
I’m not so sure addiction is the right word. Nothing better to do is probably more like it.
Amichai. A true intelligent post 🙂
I’m a Rebbe and my Yichus doesnt go back very far either.
They must know each other from the Zoo.
