The Chofetz Chaim psakens that you need two head coverings when davening and bentching.
Source please?
Dinah wasn’t Yosef’s mother in law.
What’s a programmer analyst?
Credit card is the safest way to pay.
And a few hundred bucks cash won’t make an impression on anyone unless you’re 12 years old.
mik5:
Ask Reb Dovid Feinstein if cholov stam is muttar.
Why can’t you just tell us what Reb Dovid Feinstein says?
Yossii:
since when do we change a Halacha that was practiced thousands of years based on a teshuva that was sent to a specific person in a specific situation
Are you saying we can’t pasken halacha based on anything in Igros Moshe?
The OP’s question is not clear at all, so I’ll just make an assumption as to what the OP meant, and then I will answer as follows:
A picture is an image printed or painted on some sort of paper or canvas. The appearance of the image remains virtually unchanged regardless of where it is placed.
A mirror is generally a piece of glass with a silver colored backing which reflects most of the light that reaches it. Due to its reflective properties, someone looking at the mirror would see a an image of nearby objects rather than some fixed image.
Does this answer your question?
Doesn’t matter as long as it’s gray.
Would that be much difficult to spoof than just a fingerprint?
Show me a serious Ben Torah in colored shirts no Mayer where they live
I know plenty of serious Bnei Torah who wear colored shirts. And there is a mayor where they live. I even know one that is named Mayer.
Your username is by default your screen name
Why would anyone think otherwise?
Any hat is foldable. It’s the unfolding that’s the real challenge.
Shooeey is the only one that got it right.
It’s “cord”, not “chord”
The production companies most probably do not want people showing up at their plants to buy a gallon of milk.
That’s how the whole wholesale/retail system works.
Just to be clear, you’re a frum Jew living in a hick town with no other Jews, away from your wife and kids, for absolutely no reason other than the fact that you can’t afford a bus ticket?
Sorry to Wright this way
You most certainly should be
So you can’t get a job because you’re living in a hick town and they want you to work on shabbos, while your wife and kids are in brooklyn, and the only reason I’ve heard so far why you can’t move out to be with your wife and kids and get a job is that you will be leaving your seforim behind. Meanwhile, people have been giving suggestions and you just seem to ignore them and keep insisting that you have no more options.
Honestly I’m not sure what you’re looking for here.
Josh, after reading your original post, I am a little bit confused.
You basically make two statements:
Statement #1: “GMOs cause sterility in the third generation of those mammals that consume them” (This seems to be the point everyone is discussing)
Statement #2: “GMOs would be strictly prohibited by Jewish Law, in the event they were ever legalized because they were an abomination in the eyes of the Lord” (This seems to be your main point)
What is the connection between these two statements?
The problem here is that when you take genes from a jellyfish and splice them into a tomato using a modified form of the Ebola virus as the mechanism, this is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord.
Practical halacha is determined by poskim using a specific process. It is not determined based on philosophical concepts such as “this is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord”.
my cousins will be coming from Israel to do an epic and celebratory east coast tour
What are they celebrating?

What’s a cm?
So you’re saying that Oorah already has enough money, but they still run the Oorah-thon just for the fun of it?
Is your issue that Oorah is not considered a tzedaka and therefore it is not a suitable use of maaser money?
Or is your issue that you are getting something in return, and therefore it is not a suitable use of maaser money?
What is the Rechnitz Challenge?
If the Yeshiva raises $3M by a certain time, then Rechnitz will donate another $1M.
Otherwise, Rechnitz dumps a bucket of ice water over Joseph’s head.
And don’t forget The Rechnitz Challenge.
It’s like the Ice Bucket Challenge except with real money instead of ice water.
What makes these klutz kashehs?
I would still say you should discuss it with your Rabbi
Bar Mitzvah Teacher?
Are you kidding? How could anyone afford a Bar Mitzvah teacher after all those expenses?
He could make the whole Bar Mitzvah on Shabbos and it’ll cost far far less.
How could he have a photographer and band on Shabbos?
The halachic sources say that you are not permitted to even ask the price of an item if you have no intention of purchasing.
Thanks.
Do you think that in light of what I said, the practical halacha might be different?
If you’re afraid that a gift to your Rabbi might be inappropriate, you should not rely solely on the advice of any Coffee Room member.
This is really the type of issue that you should discuss with…..your Rabbi.
You are not permitted to even ask the price of an item if you have no intention of purchasing
I don’t know what the halachic sources say about this, but I would imagine that a vast majority of merchants would prefer that people come in and ask about price even if they have no intention of buying. Salespeople would love any opportunity they can get to convince you to buy.
I once walked into a bank with the intention of closing my bank account and I walked out a half hour later having opened 3 new accounts and applied for 2 credit cards.
Who calls it “cannabis”?
My cousin watches TV and he never got plastic surgery.
Whatever
Ugh this is a sickening discussion to me at least.
So go elsewhere and vomit. No one needs your condescension here.
I’ve heard that it has roots in avodah zara.
I just read the Wikipedia article. The origins aren’t totally clear, but it seems very likely that it does in fact have origins in avodah zara. I certainly wouldn’t want to take a chance with it just to be “cute and sappy”.
Simchaspot?
Is that the one they sell by the checkout line at Walgreens?
Seriously.
Also one of them was super long and contained an e-mail address.
Seems like the mods are slacking off. Maybe recovering from the donuts….
the coffee-room got very quite, than they ruined it with this new layout, just now i was bored, i popped on to see whats happening, nothing doing decided to post this couldn’t even work out how to add a thread. than i managed and now we have this….
oh also trump won.
And we threw grammar, spelling, and punctuation out the window.
What’s a Menonite?
The dependent exemptions are eliminated in the new tax code.
Aha. Didn’t catch that part.
How much is the increased Child Tax Credit?
I may or may not be an accountant, but I don’t think the standard deduction has anything to do with dependent exemptions. You can take the standard deduction regardless of whether or not you are taking dependent exemptions.
if you read who started it, you know instantly it’s not toeles!!!
This is probably lashon hara
and what if there is a blackout?
…or a halacha that you cannot be yotzei with an electric light?
most (conservative) are highly knowledgeable about yiddeshkeit albeit not well versed in the nuts an bolts of many areas of halacha which are not part of their religion.
Fixed that for you
Also I was born in a year ending with 8, so there must be something to it.
I think Meno is an axe murderer.
Now that’s the real problem with shidduchim
Is “I so cold” supposed to be “a so called”?
I so cold
the girls comment showed interest only in these matters
No it didn’t. She was giving tips.
but the whole date shouldn’t be about did he do this or that
What should the date be about?
