I wonder how many of those ehrliche yidden davening for the opportunity to be mekayem ” more mitzvos that they don’t fulfill for one reason or other” are already being mekayem 100% of the ones they can.
Probably none. So what?
You mean like lavender?
“I think you and others don’t realize the seriousness of this.”
Others meaning R’ Kanievsky, et al.?
There are plenty of poskim/gedolim/talmidei chachomim who hold that the techeiles that is available today should not be worn.
My cousin told me about Wizard of Oz.
He’s not so frum, whatever.
I wouldn’t trust him. I heard he got his smicha on the internet.
A kosher succah is a kosher succah…..is their an inyan of going back to through the construction process to determine who held the hammer and nailed which board…
A succah made with the wrong intent or by the wrong person is actually not a kosher succah, so there would be an inyan to go back and make sure it was built according to HalachaWhat if the idiot was hogging the left lane while the traffic was passing him in the right lane. Ain’t he deserve being cut off?
What are you, 5 years old? Pass him carefully on the right.
Weave in and out of rows to stretch out the “circle”
How is the passing driver to know whether the other car that he’s passing will apply the brakes
By using your brain. If you pull too closely in front of him, he will be required to apply the brakes in order to avoid hitting you.
Cutting off a car requires that car to apply the brakes to avoid hitting you.
chochom,
Why are you assuming that everyone in Crown Heights is Chabad?
I find that quite offensive.
I’m not a lawyer, but I believe that in at least some (maybe most/all) states, “speeding” is defined as driving above the speed limit for a given distance. Driving above the speed limit over a relatively short distance is not speeding, and therefore would be legal while passing, as CTLAWYER said.
The reason people burn the other 3 minim with the chometz is because it helps burn the chometz. There’s no special inyan to burn your daled minim, it’s just that once you used them for a mitzvah, there’s an inyan to use them for another mitzvah. I don’t think this would apply to esrogim.
What’s the point in burning it with the chometz? Does fruit actually help the fire burn?
Multigrain cheerios contain a lot of stuff other than oats (corn, rice. etc). It’s possible that the brocha acharona is actually borei n’fashos even if the brocha rishona is mezonos.
What about after 20 years?
Jakob,
So if my cleaning lady works 3 hours a week for 40 years, she isn’t entitled to a raise?
Jakob,
So if someone works part time for 40 years, they aren’t entitled to a raise?
Besides it not being a full time job to ask for raises…
What’s that supposed to mean? A part-time employee is never entitled to a raise?
I looked at my shampoo , Head and Shoulders. There is no whey or animal derivative.
No whey? No way!
Emojis
Is that another one of those pyramid schemes?
Isn’t there a difference between shabbos and other “issurim”?
On shabbos there are issues of daber davar and being neheneh from m’leches shabbos
I think Rabbi Ribiat says in his sefer that it is assur for these reasons to ask someone else to do something on shabbos which you yourself wouldn’t do (e.g. opening bottles)
Disclaimer: I might have made all of this up.
I buy the fillets in the blue package, I don’t remember the name (Santa something?).
I put in onions, coarse black pepper, onions, and either canola oil or tofutti parve sour cream. Very good both ways and much cheaper than buying the containers.
We’re talking about algore.
Al Gore is a different person.
Or you can eat kugel all day. It’s not easy, but לפום צערא אגרע.
And spaces
Joseph can correct me if I’m mistaken, but I believe he is using the term “treif” to mean “assur to consume”.
I think that should clear up the previous 5 or so posts.
Is cast iron different from regular iron?
Is it even possible to make an iron pan using any method other than casting?
The ban from North Korea is completely symbolic, it has no practical ramifications.
As Joseph explained, if someone can get out of North Korea, they can figure out a way to get into the US.
Are the words evil and assur being used interchangeably here?
bishul Akum is always prohibited
I’m pretty sure this is not true. If I’m not mistaken, it’s only prohibited for foods which are oleh al shulchan m’lochim.
Canned tuna is a good example of something which is often bishul akum, but still considered acceptable by many.
Gadolhadorah,
Why wouldn’t bottled water need a hechsher?
rkefrat,
Why wouldn’t bottled water need a hechsher?
What’s a “real student”?
I always get confused – does shelled mean they have a shell or they don’t?
We once had a guy come to fix our washing machine and when he removed the front panel there were tons of socks in there.
There was actually a sock stuck in the drain hose, and that was the problem.
Joseph, was that you?
