    Not necessarily. He may be giving some buyers more than they paid for and everyone else exactly what they paid for.

    They comparable measurements between one bottle and the next isn’t necessarily precise in regards to both being exactly filled to the brim.

    Don’t pay back a bottle of milk with another bottle of milk as it may be ribbis if the bottle you give contains a bit more milk than the bottle you received. So take a bit off first to insure that it isn’t more and ask the loaner mechila in case it is a bit less.

    If you don’t like my excerpt, here is a verbatim translation of the full halacha by Rabbi Eliyahu Touger:

    Halacha 11

    In a place where it is customary for a woman not to go out to the market place wearing merely a cap on her head, but also a veil that covers her entire body like a cloak, her husband must provide at least the least expensive type of veil for her. If he is wealthy, [he must provide her with a veil whose quality] is commensurate with his wealth.

    [He must give her this veil] so that she can visit her father’s home, a house of mourning or a wedding celebration. For every woman should be given the opportunity to visit her father and to go to a house of mourning or a wedding celebration as an expression of kindness to her friends and relatives, for [this will have a reciprocal effect], and they will return the visits. For a woman [at home] is not confined in a jail, from which she cannot come and go.

    Nevertheless, it is uncouth for a woman always to leave home – this time to go out and another time to go on the street. Indeed, a husband should prevent a wife from doing this and not allow her to go out more than once or twice a month, as is necessary. For there is nothing more attractive for a woman than to sit in the corner of her home, as [implied by Psalms 45:14]: “All the glory of the king’s daughter is within.”

    I’ve seen multiple issues where they attributed many posts to the wrong poster. They at some point in the conversation skipped a poster and wrongly attributed the post to the following poster and thereafter attributed every future post to the wrong poster.

    I saw this month’s issue with that shidduchim thread too. What’s even funnier is that it’s an over five year old thread that hasn’t had any newer posts in over half a decade.

    Sam: Kol Kevudah is in Tehilim (not Mishlei). Yes, I’ve seen the citations. In any event, the entirety of Tanach is colloquially referred to as Torah. Even the Gemorah is called Torah. At least by my rebbeim.

    Kol Kevudah is a pasuk in the Torah and the SA and Rema rule on it as halacha l’maaisa. (See citation above.)

    Except that real Chareidi women aren’t advocating, seeking or wanting this. This kind of advocacy comes from a tiny minority with values greatly different than the silent majority who are quite happy with the status quo.

    Because it is a man’s job to go out in the world while it is a woman’s job to be at home. (That is the Torah speaking, not just me.) Men and women’s conception of tznius differs from each other.

    “Only if they’re also makpid on keilim would it be a problem”

    What’s the logic of being makpid on eating Cholov Yisroel but not makpid that the keilim remain Cholov Yisroel?

    So, effectively, once a Keurig machine has been used with an OU-D K-Cup, anyone makpid on Cholov Yisroel cannot utilize that machine, including with pareve K-Cups, or allow their keilim to be used with the coffee produced from that machine, even if it’s pareve.

    On some of the older threads some have advanced this notion that if a (even secular) Jew wrote the song, however unjewish it may be, it is therefore a “Jewish song”.

    And according to Rav Shimon Schwab zt”l who said it is (metaphorically) “treif” but nevertheless that since it is technically muttar, if it will cause angst by not giving it, then you shouldn’t fight it.

    ubi brought chukas akum into the discussion. This isn’t chukas akum but it certainly is in the “spirit” of it. So whilst it may not be technically assur, I wouldn’t do everything that is technically muttar.

    These campaigns are put together by American baalei batim and not by any of the rabbonim in Eretz Yisroel. Don’t blame them for what overseas marketing professionals do as they don’t review every brochure and advertisement. And this would not be the first problematic promotion by American advertising guys for a good EY tzedaka.

    Sam: Public officials get public exposure. Some more, some less, but all far more than a private citizen. A woman needs to minimize her public exposure as much as attainable and she needn’t be a legislator. There are enough men to do it that there’s no need for a woman to put herself in the limelight, however much more it will be than if she remains a private citizen.

    Most working women don’t have a job requiring them to regularly stand up in public, be in the news regularly and get their face plastered on TV and the newspapers everyday. A public position, by nature, is not minimizing one’s public exposure.

    It’s an issue if it’s brought before Beis Din. If it’s brought before Beis Din, it’s enforceable. Today like previously. If it isn’t brought before Beis Din, then it isn’t sought to be enforced. If you know of any B”D case were it was sought to be enforced, share the case and we’ll have what to discuss. Since you don’t, you are engaging highly improbable and likely never occurring hypothetical scenarios.

    Ben sorer umoreh is also actual enforceable halacha. Even if the set of circumstances leading to an actual case of it never occurred. (Even during the times capital cases were tried.)

    No, we don’t scratch out portions of S”A and that’s not why we don’t do that. As earlier stated, he is mochel those duties you’ve earlier referred to. Do you know a single case in the last 100 years were a husband was makpid on that? I certainly don’t. If you do please cite the case specifically and then we can talk. Otherwise you’re simply projecting a non-issue.

    000646: I most certainly have responded to you on that point. Kibud Av V’Eim, one of the Aseres Hadibros, takes precedence for a husband. That is the halacha l’maaisa today as it always was. We don’t scratch out portions of Shulchan Aruch to comply with modern sensibilities. (And when was this conversation about a fight, anyways?)

    It is straight black and white halacha that women should minimize being in public.
