JosephParticipant
Again, this entire halachic question we’re discussing does not have to do with chumras or kulas; it is simply a halachic question with a psak halacha. And if the psak halacha is to get drunk k’pershuto, then that is the psak.
JosephParticipantTiflus only applies to teaching girls Torah she’bal peh; teaching them Torah she’bksav is permissible.
JosephParticipantWhat do you mean? This isn’t a matter of chumra or kula; it is a matter of psak halacha. If a posek holds it is a chiyuv to get drunk k’peshuto on Purim, which is a clearly a valid shitta that is held halacha l’maaisa by various poskim, then that’s the psak halacha for anyone who has him as their mora d’asra or posek.
Dina d’malchusa doesn’t override halacha, as you’ve acknowledged above. And halacha doesn’t distinguish on this between a 13 year old and a 22 year old.
The only distinction I see if the person cannot handle the alcohol and it is a sakana to him. But that would be an individual heter to deviate from the halacha, which is something that is sometimes muttar. But if someone under 21 is as physically capable of handling the alchol as a normal person aged 31, there isn’t a halachic difference between the two of them on Purim just because one is aged 20 and the other is aged 22, irregardless of the secular age 21 arbitrary cutoff.
JosephParticipantSo he paskens farkert from the S”A.
JosephParticipantI’ve seen both my Rov and Rosh Yeshiva drunk on Purim.

JosephParticipantWhere do you get the idea that anyone can choose which shitta to follow? If your community or family posek or rosh yeshiva rules in accordance with the psak that it is halachicly obligatory to get drunk k’peshuto on Purim, you can’t just pick and choose another psak simply from a menu of psaks that exist.
JosephParticipantRabbi Schachter does not pasken like that.
He paskens against Shulchan Aruch? S”A paskens like that in accordance with the Mishna.
JosephParticipantZenni is cheaper than 39dollarglasses.
JosephParticipantCookies and milk.
JosephParticipantDo pet stores have such interviews?
Their primary goal is to take a profit from your purchase of the pet.
JosephParticipantThe term “Dati” is used to mean what would be called “Orthodox” in the US – which runs the gamut from barely Shomer Shabbos to Satmar.
Why is Satmar frequently used as the example of being the most religious? i.e. in the above quote aIY is going from barely religious to very religious.
JosephParticipantAnd, just to be truthful, the friend is a she – not a he

JosephParticipantSo to be a dog owner one must sacrifice part of their Yom Kippur davening in shul (as well as other times of the year) to care for a dog?
JosephParticipantI would think it the worst place considering it tiflus for women to learn Torah she’bal peh. 😉
February 11, 2016 6:25 am at 6:25 am in reply to: Is authentic Judaism incompatible with being rich and famous? #1137034JosephParticipantMany more were poor than were rich, though both obviously occurred.
JosephParticipantOn national and statewide and citywide executive position elections they tend to vote their social positions above economic considerations. On legislative elections economic considerations are a greater factor but social values still are more dominant.
February 11, 2016 4:47 am at 4:47 am in reply to: Is authentic Judaism incompatible with being rich and famous? #1137031JosephParticipantPoorer Jews tend to learn more Torah.
JosephParticipantWhy didn’t the salesman take off the signs?
JosephParticipantYou’re right, I misread the OP on that point. Nevertheless, the customer spent time in the store to choose a product based on the posted pricing, so I think my underlying point is still applicable.
JosephParticipantDo you all really have a problem with a sign up too long? My problem with this is how the customer was treated.
Both could be problematic, but the false advertising is worse and is geneivas daas by stealing the potential customer’s time, causing him to come into the store under false pretenses to look to purchase something represented to be at a lower price than actual.
JosephParticipantI believe a majority of MO would not be considered right-wing (RWMO). A lot of people who would’ve been considered RWMO became Chareidi. You can go to almost any Chareidi community or shul in chu”l and find members who were themselves (or their parents) previously affiliated with MO.
JosephParticipantmany of those who in America would be “Chareidi” would not be described as such in Israel.
I disagree.
JosephParticipantAPY: You’re my PR agent. Which branch did you pickup your hat from?
JosephParticipantDoes Macy’s carry their black fedora in most of their branches or only in their Herald Square flagship store?
Do any of the heimishe hat stores have a similarly priced black fedora, even if of the same lesser quality as the one carried by Macy’s?
JosephParticipantWB kapusta.
JosephParticipantHow about propping up a baby bottle while pushing said baby in a rear facing stroller? It’s so hard to hold the bottle while walking.
You bad, bad, mommy! 😉
JosephParticipantCut him some slack. He’s gotten older.
February 9, 2016 5:27 pm at 5:27 pm in reply to: Calling uncles and aunts without using their title #1136758JosephParticipantIt was done at a sink in a room I happened to walk into where the father and son were alone and apparently not expecting anyone else to see. (I slipped out right away.) I put one and one together having seen the kid being publicly disobedient to his father on this issue a few minutes earlier.
February 9, 2016 12:42 pm at 12:42 pm in reply to: Giving Negative Information About a Shidduch Candidate #1142778JosephParticipantWB Kapusta! The mazal tov thread is still active and ready to be activated at anytime. 😉 What was the end result in the situation you related above?
T613: Being non-Sephardic, my spouse prefers I not date others.
February 9, 2016 1:10 am at 1:10 am in reply to: Giving Negative Information About a Shidduch Candidate #1142773JosephParticipantDoes a person have a halachic obligation to relate negative information when appropriate, even if his inclination is to wiggle out of answering the question? What if it relates to a close friend or relative?
February 8, 2016 11:17 pm at 11:17 pm in reply to: Giving Negative Information About a Shidduch Candidate #1142772JosephParticipantIf you are asked to give information, and you know there’s a problem that can have a negative impact on a marriage, tell the person inquiring you’ll get back to them shortly, and call your Rav.
You realize that telling that to the caller might almost be the same as telling him the answer entails negative information, but you need to check if you can tell it to him. You more or less told him, before the shaila, that the answer is in the negative.
JosephParticipantgolfer: The Gemora gives a reason other than women’s lack of proficiency in Gemora studies as to why they’re more prone to misinterpret it.
February 8, 2016 4:24 pm at 4:24 pm in reply to: Seizing retail merchandise after being shortchanged #1136928JosephParticipantWhy would you argue that the victim cannot grab his very own $5 bill back?
JosephParticipantShould we all support Airbnb considering the recent controversy over Airbnb permitting listings in Shomron and the Palestinians protesting Airbnb?
February 8, 2016 4:22 pm at 4:22 pm in reply to: ZipCar vs. Car2Go and other car share/rental services #1136588JosephParticipantCar2Go has expanded into many of the frum neighborhoods in New York recently.
JosephParticipant<bump>
JosephParticipantWhat, if any, negative health effects occur from propping a baby with a bottle? I recall something about it possibly being harmful for the teeth if the bottle is left in his mouth after his completes it, due to the sugar. Is that indeed the case, and are there other potential issues?
JosephParticipantAccording to the shittas that one is required to get drunk, k’peshuto as various shittos say is halacha l’maaisa on Purim, it would appear the chiyuv starts on the first Purim following one’s Bar Mitzvah.

Mazal Adar Dagim – Don’t forget ??? ????? ??? today.
February 8, 2016 4:13 pm at 4:13 pm in reply to: Calling uncles and aunts without using their title #1136754JosephParticipantI just saw a father at a simcha wash his son’s mouth with soap after the kid called his uncle by his first name after having just been warned not to.
JosephParticipantHow much did it cost you, Health? Were the costs split?
JosephParticipantWolf: Do you think the bochor mesmerized the photo and will do a mental comparison between the resume photo and the girl when he’s dating her?
JosephParticipantubiq: Aside from putting words in others mouths, as you’ve done to DY, myself and others, and your lack of comprehension for answers you are repeatedly given including broken down in very simple terms after your third and fourth request for an answer already given, you also misrepresent the position of others.
JosephParticipantubiq: Why are you opposed to having Torah discussions and learning here?
February 8, 2016 2:08 pm at 2:08 pm in reply to: How Do I Know I've Ever Properly Performed Any Mitzvah? #1136316JosephParticipantIf that’s the case, then I’m not required to do any of these mitzvos anyway.
It’s much more than that. If that’s the case you are prohibited, on pain of death, from keeping Shabbos. Shouldn’t you be similarly concerned?
JosephParticipantThanks for that information.
Can you notes tell us what *is* Avoda Zora?
February 8, 2016 5:04 am at 5:04 am in reply to: How Do I Know I've Ever Properly Performed Any Mitzvah? #1136308JosephParticipantWhy do you look at your positives as a “concession”, as if you’re admitting to a crime rather than the positive it is?
February 8, 2016 3:25 am at 3:25 am in reply to: How Do I Know I've Ever Properly Performed Any Mitzvah? #1136299JosephParticipantWolf, would you be willing to sell your Olam Habo for a good amount of cash?
If not, you obviously know you have what to hold unto.
JosephParticipantRY, pretty much any shidduch website does almost exactly what you suggest.
JosephParticipantI heard of a Palestinian who is a Ben Noach.
