    Some dentists do the surgery but they need to be qualified with the credentials and experience.

    So technically you don’t have to go to an exclusive surgeon. Your dentist is referring you elsewhere because he/she likely cannot perform the surgery.

    If you do find a dentist who does it, then do your research to ensure that he/she is licensed and preferably does not have any record of complaints or formal actions against him/her, which at least in the US can be found via state doctor licensed-professional databases.

    Also check if he/she is board certified. You want to make sure that the dentist/doctor operating on your mouth is accountable to someone.

    Thank you.

    Dunno that’s why I asked. Never thought about nurses being an issue but maybe it’s a stringency.

    Does every chumra have a source?

    Maybe like some people give advice on parenting that is founded on their own beliefs, sometimes someone who is frum does the same but it is manifest in a Jewish-sounding way, like in this example?

    Sorry I hope that is not offensive sounding. I think I’m learning that I need to separate the Jewish identity from the person and what the person says at times.

    Understandable. They don’t own you and your growth. They are helping you and maybe you can let them make that easier on you.

    You can give them a job so it feels like you’re in charge. Tell them that you would like them to please drive you at this day at this time.

    You don’t have to tell them what you talk about in there.

    It’s still special and a gift for your personal development.

    Googled Shabbat sushi and a Chabad House had an ad for their Shabbat sushi night.

    ” The Chayei Adam 39:1 writes that the melacha of boneh (building) applies to food as well, and that attaching foods together to produce a desired picture or shape, is included in this prohibition.

    from the OU… does that mean that one can close his/her eyes and make sloppy sushi on Shabbos?

    Why is non-fresh sushi less tasty? I’ve never taste-tested the difference. And usually the non-fresh kind that I’ve purchased was inexpensive. The rice gets kind of hard.

    But maybe storing fresh sushi for a day isn’t so bad. For someone who never eats sushi during the week and really enjoys it, maybe it’s a special Shabbos treat?

    I guess it depends what you want.

    If it’s an expensive car then second hand will still be relatively expensive compared to a less expensive vehicle, typically.

    Like last year’s like new BMW is not going to match last year’s like new Kia in price — for the most part — but there may be a miracle hidden in real life that could make it so.

    Something like used designer clothes can be less expensive than regular clothes, if purchased at Goodwill or something.

    Some cell phone covers have that little wristband so you can carry it on your wrist. It’s an option in a safe place where there is no threat of being mugged chas v’shalom.

    Land “bought” was unfairly done so. Native Americans did not have such a thing as buying land and then pushing off everyone who didn’t “buy” it from living there.

    Native Americans died when colonizers came to America.

    Unfair to say that we rightfully owned the place. It’s enough that the past happened. Why rewrite it? So one feels justified in being here?

    Why ayin hara lady sound contrary?

    Because if there is a problem, I thought we’re supposed to daven to Hashem. Or even asking a tzaddik to daven.

    If someone is having financial problems then I heard that the person can even test Hashem by giving 20 massar.

    That’s different than paying a stranger to pour boil lead or something else as a solution.

    How does he not need a surgery when someone is cutting into his gum to extract this “molar”?

    Yes I’ve had mine removed. I don’t remember. It was decades ago. I maybe missed a day or two of school. The biggest thing was that I had puffy cheeks for a few days.

    Everything healed. All is good. Thank G-d.

    Get it done as soon as you can.

    A lot of strangers will also pull your molars out for you for a 100 dollars too. Doesn’t mean that they are qualified. Sometimes doctors are willing to overstep their boundaries, unfortunately.

    Btw, I was under general anesthesia when I got mine removed. That’s not something that you just want to hand off to the lowest bidder. This is your life. It’s good that you’re taking it seriously.

    Best of success to you.

    On the other hand, I read something that also sounded very nonJewish about hiring an ayin-hara lady on Aish.

    When I asked a LOR IRL, he said that there are Sephardic communities that use/have them and it’s kosher according to their tradition.

    Even though it sounds contrary to Torah Judaism.

    So I thought that maybe this regression therapy thing is like that.

    Thank you LU for saying this… “Not everything that every Rabbi in every shiur says is Toras Moshe.”

    I figured that because it was on Torah Anytime, it was censored for content and/or rabbonim. –But you just reminded me that I’ve stopped listening to certain rabbis

    edited. I don’t think it is right for you to decide that certain Rabbi’s are promoting sinas chinam or lacking emes, and taking that cue from annonymous posters who didn’t hear the shiur is not appropriate. If a certain Rabbi does not sit right with you, don’t listen, but it would be best to save the judgements or conclusions.

    —Interesting because in this sense, I figured that I must not understand why this is kosher.

    Have to go in a min so just posting this and will read the rest of the replies after…

    A lot of Judaism is a reaction. Or response. Including monogamy.

    I want to give the rabbi the benefit of the doubt here.

    To me it sounded divisive but hopefully he did not intend it to be so.

    Just came to say that even saying that it is a reaction doesn’t have to come with a judgement.

    Florida has tons of young adults in Miami and the surrounding cities.

    So many young New Yorkers move to South Florida, and also Israelis.

    I’ve visited South Florida and it’s very very Jewish in some parts — With Hatzloahs on the street corners, rows of shuls and Hebrew storefronts, and totally tznius and religiously dressed women and men on the sidewalks going about their daily lives — plus there are many kosher restaurants.

    Florida’s cost of living is also dramatically more reasonable than NY.

    NC, wow I felt like maybe the OP felt pressured to make aliyah or feel guilty about not making it with all of these posts mentioning Israel. Glad that you said something.

    It’s hard, imho, to ask for genuine help here and having someone throw “move to EY” as the end-all be-all solution.

    Just because EY is the place for Klal Yisroel doesn’t mean that Hashem doesn’t have a reason for someone to be living chul right now.

    So while one might mean well, sometimes, imho, it sounds like deflecting the OP’s question when posters jump in with EY EY EY locations.

    Joseph, baruch Hashem everyone is welcome.

    If the young adult is in shidduchim then it’s especially challenging.

    Sometimes one is advised to visit a younger community, but the older community shows love for one who stays.
