If your minhag is not to do it with chickens, do it however your minhag is. Everyone else who has the minhag to do it with chickens will continue doing it with chickens irregardless of the peta type crazies and their offshoots, with or without yarmulkas and whether Jewish or non-Jewish, like it or not.
Geordie: First tell me how to tell apart the supposedly different accents between British and Australians (let alone Irish and South Africans) before you tell about differences between accents in different parts of the British Isles.
‘Nuthin to worry about.
It’s forbidden to ascend to any parts thereof.
sdd: You haven’t addressed my first point above.
sdd: Everyone has their own Yom Tov meal. Not everyone has a Bris that morning.
Have you not seen the baal simcha’s caterer bringing bags and wrappings specifically for the purpose of guest’s taking home food from the Bris? This is quite common not strange.
Matan: As DY said, they’re not married to each other yet so it is inappropriate for the choson and kalah to be having a joint discussion on this topic. Additionally, the instructions are different for the choson than for the kallah. And furthermore, the topic itself is even inappropriate for a teacher of the opposite gender to teach it. (And whatever gender the teacher is, he/she will be the opposite of either the choson or the kallah.)
Barry: We have some commentators on this very thread who made the move, and unfortunately everything just didn’t seem to fall into place.
I don’t recall saying
Instead of relying on your recollection, you could’ve simply looked up to see what you wrote! 🙂
I submit that more than three babies were born in Lakewood last night.
The topic of discussion itself.
It’s interesting to note that if you look back at the news archives you’ll notice very many of the same principal critics that strongly faulted Bush I for not having invaded Iraq and taken out Saddam in the ’91 Persian Gulf War are the same postwar critics against Bush II for having done exactly that.
Narcotics.
JR: What was the reason your son couldn’t get a yeshiva based draft deferment? Does the army draft 18 year olds soon after they emigrated from the US?
Thanks for the information about Israeli debtors prison and asset seizures, Jerusalem reader. What was your hashkafic affiliation in the US and what is it now in Israel?
Matan1: 1. Because there are multiple students in the class, so they can’t be mixed. 2. Because the instructions are different to each. 3. Because some subjects are inappropriate for an opposite gender to teach even if it were one on one.
(not to mention trying to stay out of jail, which is a challenge when you are poor in Israel)
Can you explain that point, Jerusalem reader? Thanks
There are potentially very big frumkeit pitfalls for American children moving to Israel.
What’s strange? It’s a mitzvah to eat food from a bris. So your taking the food to share with others, who weren’t at the bris, to partake in the mitzvah. (And, also, the mitzvah of avoiding baal tashchis of so much extra food being discarded.)
Kesiva V’Chasima Tova!
Is mechila still in style?
L’maaisa, most women don’t do it. Why not? And how can she appoint a shliach – and does the shliach do it together for himself and her with a different loshon than the standard nusach?
Charlie: Spain and Portugal had the Expulsion and Inquisitions. Latin America is their heritage. And the Inquisition carried over to there. The population there are their progeny.
You want the United States to become another Mexico and Europe another Syria?
When in Mesopotamia, do as the Iraqis.
flatbusher, you disagree with Chazal who tell us in Pirkei Avos to make gedarim.
That might be true Yosi7, but like squeak said, if someone calls you a “frummy” because you’re too frum for their liking, you should wear that as a badge of honor.
Charlie: A Rov’s job protection and ability to pass his rabbinical position to his son is a special halacha for that position. It is not the normative halacha for all employees.
Kesiva V’Chasima Tova un ah gut gebencht yur tzu gantz Klal Yisroel!
It’s <bumping> season.
Yes. It shows you have a heart.
So now tell us after which date will the parental meeting be held?
<bump>
Perhaps people shouldn’t tell their shidduch date that they went to therapy, whether anger therapy or any other therapy, since it will open a whole can of worms. Better to shveig shtill.
Feivel – A full mechila by the victim doesn’t necessarily remove the punishment of the perpetrator in beis din shel maala for the act he was forgiven for?
Goq & zush: So, then based upon your arguments, one should forgive/be mochel irregardless whether or not the person who wronged you asked for forgiveness or not, and irregardless whether the person who wronged regrets he wronged you or does not regret he wronged you. Since forgiving is for the victims benefit, the victim should forgive someone who never asked for forgiveness and doesn’t even regret it.
You’re afraid she’ll think the items are being sent to her as a romantic gift?
What is your source that it is a modern innovation as opposed to a continuance of the same (or similar) greeting mentioned in the Gemora?
Since it’s a more modern innovation, it might very well be borrowed from other cultures.
Our Shalom Aleichem is a modern innovation? Any shaichos to/imitation of the Arabic Salaam Alaikum, which the proper response to is Alaikum Salaam?
I’ve heard stories where the parents staked out a location the girl is known to be so they can surreptitiously spy her. I’ve heard of this being done either before they agreed to go out or after a few dates.
Well, by litvish/yeshivish people the entire dating process is relatively quick, with couples getting engaged often by the sixth or so date. (Give or take.) So meeting the parents after the fourth or fifth date would be fairly routine.
