Rabbiofberlin, It is mefurash in the Gemora that at least a certain degree of hair-covering is De’Oraysa,eventhough it is a lav davka a lav or an ase. Something could be min’HaTorah without being a full-fledged lav or an ase. Stop dreing up the Halocha because of your misguided hashkofos.
And doing teshuva entails feeling bad about one’s aveiros.
Oomis, the Rabbonim of that dor knew that rebuke would be useless, and mutav they should be shogegos ve’lo mezidos.
A piece of chazir is a piece of chazir. It is an Orthodox website — the Laws of the Torah do not change. Even if it reflects badly on your relatives.
And about kiruv, I am Ba’al Teshuva.
Rabbiofberlin, I can not tell you about the Berditchever or the Lubavitcher, but there are numerous sources for this from TaNaCh and Chazal and later Gedolim. Just look in sefer Tehillim to start with.
Enlightenedjew, only in a certain country.
Jewish and working 22, your example does not touch upon the bottom-line Tsnius standards — me’ikar ha’din it’s ok. Covering the toes depends on minhag ha’mokom.
Oomis, the standards do not go by what people think or do. You can not walk around inapproprietly dressed and be considered tsniusdic. What if in a certain place they decide that it is not wrong to steal?
What if somebody’s zeides were off the derech and did not keep Shabbos? You can’t call them mechallelei Shabbos? Come on. Call a spade a spade. Do not condone avieros of yesteryear or of today!
Rabbiofberlin, do you ever get outraged when someone does an aveira? You should.
Dunno,the Torah says it is everybody’s business, the american bill of rights might disagree.
This is outrageous. This is Yeshiva WN, not Modern- matir everything wildly-WN. It would take me half a day to answer all the shvere kulos over here.SJSin, there are those who claim RambaM ALLOWED BEATING ONE’S WIFE. Like that?
Rabbiof, it is good to melamed zechus but not by being oker Halocha!!!
Yitay!! Most Poskim hold it does not depend on the minhag ha’mokom. And this opinion does not fit the reality — even if ladies in a certain place wear very open clothing, a man does not get used to it. Whom are we kidding??
Trumas Hadeshen, means that covering all hair is derabbonon, but the ikar covering is de’Oraysa. (Chofets Chaim writes it’s de’Oraysa).
Plus, all these ba’ALEI AVEIROS DON’T HAVE ALL THESE heterim in mind. They do it because of ta’avos.
Bekitsur, why don’t you go and open the Everything-mutar.com?
The Gemora in Kesubos says that covering the hair is de’Oraysa!!(there are additional Halochos de’Rabbonon about that, but the ikar is min ha’Torah)
Rabbiofberlin , maybe, you want to melamed ze’chus on the Jews of Bais Rishon by saying that avoda zara is not me’de’Oraysa??
Chibuk ve’nishuk is negia shel chiba, for example.
I agree with m in Israel. Just I would say it in stronger terms.
Bed Stuy, who does not want to be a big chossid?
Negia shel chiba is de’Oraisa and “yehareg ve’lo ya’avor”. Look in Shach in Yore Deya, Halochos of Yeahareg ve’lo Ya’avor.
Covering the hair in the street is also min’HaTorah — Kesubos 72A.
Oomis, I read your outrageous post again. ” Some would not consider them tsniusdig…”. The Torah standards, the Halocha do not change!! According to you, it is shayach to wear a bathing suit in front of men and still be a tsanua — this beyond anything!
Oomis, what they did 40 years ago was also terrible. The Torah does not change because many people are doing aveiros.
Cholov Yisroel? There is no such thing. There is a prohobition on Cholov Akum.
Not over every divorce does the mizbeach sheds tears — only zivug rishon (Gittin 90B).
Smartcookie,Gaboim and others, I am not for divorces, but to put things into a Torah perspective: Beis Hillel held that one is allowed to divorce one’s wife, if she burnt his food. Rabbi Akiva ( whom we don’t pasken like) held that even if he found a different candidate who is prettier than his wife, he is allowed to divorce her.
Popa bar abba, you can’t just mevatel everything the doctors say ant take crazy risks with one’s health.
Culture?!?? Switzerland is not different than Germany and Belgium? Ridiculous! Have you seen the Alps? And the Smartcookie seeks not the culture shel amim!
In Schweiz, there are the magnificient Alps. Stunning views (don’t forget the brocha). It’s something else.
In Venice, there are olden buildings and canals. But they have olden buildings in Switzerland too.
RB,obviously, not.
Real Brisker, I am not going to argue with you here if 2+2=4.
Cedahurst, did you use to be “myfriend”?
RB, Go to my previous post with the definition and drei nit ken kup.
Gabboim, what I mean is why min’ha’stam assume such things? Do you ,also, know that something which was cooked in a not-ben-yomo treif pot is kosher ( if sharp food was not used)? Do you know that stam keilim are be’chezkas of eino ben-yomo?
RB, where did I say that standards is Halocha? You do not know the most basic things.
Often the utensils won’t passel the food
And the term “standards” for machlokes ha’Poskim is a misleading one.
If there is a known machlokes — ok. But why assume it?
What is this business with standards? Is it kosher according to the Shulchan Aruch?
Gemorah says sharfe zachen about those who do not osek in pirya ve’rivya. It is a chiyuv to get married (especially for a man).
Real Brisker, Halocha is a set of practical obligations, which apply to every Jew. They are based on the Laws of the Torah.
Sometimes, there is a machlokes of Rishonim or Achronim about a certain obligation. At times the Halocha follows the lenient opinion. It is a ma’alah to conform to the stringent opinion, and it’s called a chumra. Chumros are not obligatory, unless accepted as a neder. A different example of a chumra is when a person does something extra, not required by Halocha, to distance oneself from aveira.
I’ll help you after Shabbos, bli neder.
Of course, thet did not have alter bochurim in previous doros?
“These are his standards”. Precisely. Who said his standards are Halocha?!?
REAL BRISKER, WHAT I MEAN is that Halocha is Halocha, and chumros are chumros. The problem is that way too many people do not understand the difference. You don’t compromise Halocha. Chumros are a different story.
RB,ever heard of eisav sone le’Ya’akov? No need to provoke. And, don’t sweat so much about giving up a dollar.
“Ahavas kala, m’sos dodim…”. What do you say to that?
And no matter what was the story with Ya’akov Avinu, you are right, his madreiga is not a hiyuv for every Yid.
Bein hasedorim, he probably loved her on all the levels. Leah, when she went out to invite Ya’akov to her tent, put on make-up. Why?
Tzvi Hirsh, Medrash Rabba says that Ya’akov wanted to divorce Leah before she gave birth to the Shvatim. It also says there that Lavan told his landsleit:” You know, Ya’akov loves Rochel…”. He did not mean the farfrummed,made-up definitions mentiond above.
Tip is expected from a “mentch”, for crying out loud.
Trying my best, it is important to remember that we don’t live in a bubble, and we do have to care about the impression we make.
When it comes to certain professions, it is expected that the workers will be tipped. Not to do it is Chilul HaShem and causing eiva.
Supporting the poor does not equal Socialism. Not Everything Rush Limbaugh Says is Da’as Torah! Do not be blindly influenced.
To execute someone for the issur of eshes ish or mishkav zochur, you need a p’sak sanhedrin.
Not everything Rush Limbaugh says is Da’as Torah. Certain ideas in the Torah concur with what the “right” says, and certain ones with what the “left” says.
Popa, not so poshut. Plus, what difference does it make? The bottom line is the same.
Beis din extracts at times money from the wealthy, if they refuse to give charity. Rova did it.
I was told — no.
