Charlie: It is standard practice for those with semicha without yadin yadin to serve as Dayanim.
Sam: We shouldn’t be watering down the traditional meaning of the heter or semicha.
PAA: The semicha given from Moshe Rabbeinu indicated a license to serve as a Dayan.
Sweet foods and drinks puts me to sleep.
“If I know more sources for one side over the other it does not indicate that I am promoting a specific side.”
PAA: Don’t you agree, considering there are sources for both derechs, that each to his own, we should all respect and honor whatever shitta someone else follows (for himself)?
Yet, while I rarely or never hear the Kollel crowd running around demeaning everyone not attending Kollel, unfortunately it is far from infrequent that I hear and read (online et al) the anti-Kollel crowd demeaning Kollel or more frequently ranting off reasons folks should stop attending Kollel. No one is insisting they go to Kollel so why are they insisting others leave Kollel?
North Korea is the most dangerous country to world peace. There constantly are border incidents and other (i.e. missile) provocations by the nuclear-armed irrational, unpredictable, North Korea and it’s lunatic Great Leader.
Again, it is not ineffective as it will reduce the likelihood and incidents of the disease spreading in this country. Even if it won’t eliminate the possibility. Better one case than three cases. Better two cases than six cases. The more you reduce the likelihood and incidents of it spreading, the better. Even if it isn’t entirely eliminated. The less cases the better off we are and the better off we are in fighting it on our shores.
Charlie: It’s implicit in the heter hora’ah.
What have you against kids?
You might or might not stop it. But you’d certainly (significantly) reduce it’s likelihood of reaching here. And it doesn’t cost a ton of money to bar entry.
If that Liberian had been denied entry you wouldn’t have had him here or the multiple people it now spread to and dozens of people currently under surveillance or quarantine.
What would they do if you told them you couldn’t sign or even make an X? They’d refuse you service?
It will help. You needn’t reach a perfect record of barring entry of every possible candidate to achieve a significantly reduced risk of contagion. By barring entry you will significantly reduce the risk even if it isn’t foolproof.
It certainly is possible to temporarily prohibit entry to the U.S. from anyone who were within specific countries.
Is the Agudah advertising its convention here?
That guy has a chip on his shoulders. He probably feels a great need for respect that went unmet. Many very Israeli Chareidi men (including in Meah Shearim) work.
ca: The women watch the men dance so it’s only fair and equal to do the reverse.
They were kidnapped after hitching.
It’s insensitive to call a bachur a bachur? That’s the proper way to call a bachur up to the Torah.
Is being a bachur a handicap?
Why would you not call a bachur “habachur”?
The three boys hitched.
Maybe it should be given to the women?
I was trying to understand why you expect your shidduch to be “frummer” (to borrow your term) than yourself.
Does AAA still publish their annual tour guide for every region in the U.S.?
Spouses can be communicating with each other their viewpoints via this coffee room.
Yom Tov is a time for simcha. Wait till isra chag to become sad.
“Pray tell how dating a certain size makes any difference if one is working or learning.”
If he is working he may be able to afford the upkeep of her size; whereas if he is learning he may not afford so thereby requiring her to downsize.
+1 to everything Yatzmich wrote.
He should just sport a beard all year long and he won’t have any such issues altogether.
Vogue: Would you accept a shidduch with someone similar to yourself in that he speaks to about ten girls in shul so long as he isn’t going out of his way to do so?
You referred to a non-existent “no need to date” that I responded to (with quotations of your point.)
There is no evidence whether marriages are more successful following a single or small number of beshows versus dating for one to three months. You are speculating and others can as convincingly speculate the opposite point of yours.
Are you still a workaholic or is that your husband’s job now?
So you were beshowing three years ago. Chasidishe engagements are usually about a year long, so presumably you got married two years ago. Mazal Tov on your marriage and two children.
I would think the girl would be more impressed with the guy’s adherence to halacha of not shaving than she would be impressed with his flaunting the prohibition.
Who does gelila in a minyan where there are no children?
If everyone takes this attitude apparently everyone will be refusing to do gelila and the Sefer Torah will be stuck open.
Menachem Melamed: Interesting point. It seems three comments above your own bears out your observation.
Vogue: Would you consider a shidduch with someone of similar background as yourself – i.e. bt from teens on, went to non-frum school that had a lot of frum students, then went to yeshiva and now every not so often chats with a few single girls (no more than ten but never hangs out with them) who he knows his whole life?
I know some Ashkenazi guys who want to marry a Sephardi girl but many or most of them won’t consider Ashkenazim.
And vice versa.
Use a fire extinguisher. Call 911.
Does zaidy78 propose that single men should also be offered to be shliach tzibbur on the yomim noraim (or yom tov), despite the minhag otherwise, in order to prove our equal treatment of older single guys? How about wearing a talis?
haifagirl: How do you propose a fellow who never read Shakespeare will have a less fulfilling life than had he read Shakespeare?
Overseas seminary is more often a junket than anything else.
“I just want to respectfully point out, for the people who are saying there’s no need to date because of all the extensive research that the parents do”
I never heard of any chosid who doesn’t have at least one beshow (i.e. a “date”), so this point isn’t relevant.
“And I’m not certain that one meeting is enough to tell if the conversational chemistry is there, since first dates can often be awkward anyway.”
I would venture the long-term success rate is better than those who date for a year or more.
Is it relevant that the typing is for entertainment purposes?
No, most of the homeowners purchased their homes before the prices skyrocketed.
Sam: Rav Moshe poskens it’s assur to even set a timer before Shabbos to turn on the air conditioner.
“I thought PBA might actually be a woman.”
PAA isn’t one?
Do you still need to eat kosher when going to a hotel or does kosher-style suffice?
I dunno about styles but the opinions are certainly very divergent.
Without names you could easily be referring to the well known yeshiva d’creedmor 😉
Charlie: I was speaking rhetorically; not specifically to you.
Sam: That wouldn’t be a minhag and you know it. A minhag yisroel is a minhag yisroel whether it’s your minhag or not and whether you like it or not. Especially if it is backed up by Rishonim and Achronim including the Rema and contemporary. (Seen the YWN pictures of Rav Chaim and the many other Gedolim in EY and here using chicken kapporos? Rav Chaim isn’t online, so can you kindly inform Rav Chaim that he is doing something that is “Assur Min HaTorah according to many prominent Rishonim”?)
“Do you keep an hour between meat and milk? Will you be donning tefillin a week from today? Do you recite Hallel in synagogue on seder night?”
Is anyone here telling you or trying to convince you to stop following your minhagim on these or other matters? Just follow your father’s mesorah, whatever they are. And don’t try to stop us from following our mesorah and minhag of using chicken for kapporos.
