A Tehilim. Everything else is commentary.
How do Israelis manage to get through a day without American deoderant without smelling?
Sam, if he followed Shulchan Aruch k’peshuto after you declined mechila, how can you have an additional taaina on him for doing the only thing pashut halacha states he should?
Anecdotally, a lot more older singles have pets than the average frum families. Hence we see pets are bad for shidduch opportunities.
That was a serious comment.
The best yeshivas for MO boys are Chareidi yeshivas so they can get a real feel and bren for yiddishkeit.
Again?
CTL: You seen to favor marrying your children within the same socio-economic class as yourself.
What makes the Pringles halachicly different than potato chips as far as a bracha?
Avi, even if the women married Christian men, their children, and their daughters children etc., would be Jewish indefinitely.
How are Pringles different than other potato chips?
yehuda, what happened to the descendent’s of the tens of thousands of female marranos and Christian convertees from the Sephardic population during the Spanish Inquisition?
Bump
Dab your fingers in it and touch your face and inside your pockets.
So if it turns out that Pope Francis is maternally of Jewish lineage, bas achar bas, his greatX7 grandmother having been a meshumed, will Francis be taken by Moshiach to Eretz Yisroel during the Geula?
ubiq, 50% of Jewish Spain baptized.
Thank you most friendly Mod!
Sam: It is still a valid halachic discussion as it is cited in S”A as halacha l’maaisa (S”A isn’t theory) and the Mishna.
Mods (any one of yous), can you perhaps slightly edit my new thread and approve it to make it less objectionable as ubiq and Sam appear interested in it as a halachic discussion?
Much TIA
My question was really addressed to whoever pulled the trigger. I honestly did not even consider who it is as it is usually impossible to know who did what behind the curtains.
But if you want to reverse, undelete and post it, I’d certainly be cheering you on. 😉
Otherwise whoever made the call I’d be interested in addressing it.
P.S. Why do you think I dislike you? I don’t. Nor do I hold you in blame.
Since this has become the Ask the Mods thread, I was wondering if my oh so objectionable thread mentioning (gasp!) the halacha regarding triage in life saving (hameivin yovin) was objectionable because in doesn’t fit into contemporary society’s egalitarianism, and if it would have been more acceptable and non-objectionable to mention the halacha if the halacha had been the reverse, since the reverse would in fact have fit into modern society’s chivalrous expectations?
What’s better for your child – to be put through a Chinese torture chamber or to be waterboarded?
You’re welcome.
Neither.
aquestioningjew: I think we’re debating semantics here more than the pertinent details. The reason the halacha is that women shouldn’t leave the home too much is so that they do not attract too much attention on the street. So when a woman does leave the home she should act in a manner to reduce being subject to attention. Conducting a loud phone conversation can subject a person to undue attention.
Avram: Sure. Incest is one example. Also, a purported non-Jew may have sinned with an eishes ish who did have an earlier halachic marriage that never terminated and generations later none of the decedents were aware of their Jewish lineage.
aquestioningjew: Shulchan Aruch and Rambam pasken l’halacha that women shouldn’t go out of home into the street too much. Why do you think this halacha exists?
Simcha, why would you have less hakaras hatov, or make any less a mi sheberach, for someone who constantly risks his life for others running into a “non-living” mortal dangerous fire consuming everything it encounters than someone risking his life versus a “living” being posing a mortal danger to others?
Just as they made up a newfangled blessing for the soldiers they should similarly start a tradition to make a weekly mi sheberach for firefighters.
The lack thereof is quite telling of their motivations. The mi sheberach was designed as a politically motivated demonstration of support for Zionism that goes against mesorah and tradition regarding instituting new “traditions”.
Where’s the mi sheberach for firefighters to show our hakaros hatov to them for putting their lives on the line, or in the line of fire as apy aptly put it, everyday for all of us – with many having lost their lives saving others?
Firefighters DIE too.
Okay fellows, you can ease up. Comrade Sanders isn’t going to be the nominee, let alone the President. The guy never stood a chance.
Ron, I would hope that those who do not say the mi sheberach for the Bnei Yeshiva for whatever reason at least appreciate somewhat what it is to like to choose to live in difficult finances while protecting Klal Yisroel from harm. Sadly this does not seem to be the case.
Sam, I was also preplexed about the India and Africa comment. But much of Spain very well may be, as half the Jewish population converted at the Inquisition (the other half fled. And recent DNA studies in Spain indicate much of the population have Jewish blood.
If they say it for Obama then for sure they’ll say it for Trump.
BMHEE: Construction workers, lumberjacks, roofers, firefighters and correction officers are examples of dangerous jobs too. If the criteria is dangerous jobs, make mishberachs for them too. If the criteria is saving the most lives, make mishberachs for the Bnei Yeshiva first.
Or, better yet, modify DY’s comment from Hatzalah to the Bnei HaTorah who learn Torah yomom v’layla thus protecting the world more than everyone else combined.
Mixing blue and yellow produces white.
You people should take lessons on color mixes!
RY, another reason why we Yidden shouldn’t follow today’s goyish society.
