How would they find it? Are they able to track radio waves? Is it worth their time and effort?
…you can ask Meno to explain it to you…
I honestly haven’t a clue what’s going on here, but I would prefer to be left out of it.
Thanks
Spooky. How did he know?
Henceforth, there will be no more jokes in the Coffee Room. This will be a serious place.
(What’s it called when you’re drinking coffee and then you start laughing and then the coffee comes out your nose? That just happened)
This is not totally true.
I assume JRoot makes money from advertisers. The advertisers pay them based on the number of listeners they have. When they calculate that number, they can’t include the people who receive it through other sources.
There’s a mishna in Sukkah that talks about buying a sh’mittah esrog from “chaveiro”. Rashi there points out that the word chaveiro means that the buyer and seller both have the same status (i.e. either both am ha’aretz or both talmid chochom) which has halachic significance in that case.
Don’t know if that helps for Bava Basra.
Crystal clear
“so the other person can be left thinking the first person said something bad about them when they didn’t or when it wasn’t as bad as they thought.”
Why would you automatically assume that if a post was edited then it must have said something bad about you?
There are probably a billion reasons for a post to be edited
What does it mean for a person to be a “cookie cutter”?
I would assume it looks better for the author if more people attend the event even if they don’t buy the book. It’s not like you’re taking up a seat that would have otherwise been filled by a potential buyer.
This is unbelievable
Why would shopping for a scarf on eBay be dangerous?
white shirt/black hat 24/7
Does anyone wear a black hat 24/7?
I always thought Wolf was an actual wolf
“In the Frum world, there is often a lot of competition for teaching jobs”
This is precisely why they don’t make a lot of money. It’s basic economics. If there’s a lot of competition that means there are a lot of teachers, and therefore each teacher is not worth as much.
I once went to a kosher Subway with a friend. My friend ordered some kind of deli sandwich. The worker took out a ziploc bag full of pre-portioned deli and put it on a roll. I didn’t order anything.
I find it hard to believe that a burger from a kosher McDonalds comes anywhere close to a burger from an average kosher burger place.
People like these places because they think it’s cool to go to the same restaurant that all the goyim go to.
Is patronizing a kosher version of a treif restaurant generally acceptable Torahdik chinuch?
Generally in kashrus circles, when you say Badatz, you mean Badatz Eidah haChareidis
Maybe in kashrus circles.
But in laymen’s circles, lots of people think Badatz = good hechsher, whereas it is really meaningless.
I’m pretty sure the term “Badatz” no longer has any meaning.
Any kashrus agency can call themselves Badatz.
I don’t like him because he never returns my calls.
HaLeivi,
Is that how the sale works?
If he is paying with chometz as שוה כסף, wouldn’t we have to know the value (or at least an approximate value) of the chometz?
He’s annoying but harmless.
That doesn’t mean he shouldn’t have his own forum.
There are forums for all kinds of ridiculous things. There’s even a forum for salad recipes.
ZD,
In that case the goy would probably have to pay for it if he wanted to take it. I wonder how they persuaded him, and if that would even be acceptable.
Why would someone start a new topic named “anti chasidus” and then start off with an honest question about chasidus?
Are you looking for a good answer? Or are you just trying to bash chasidus and would prefer you didn’t get a good answer?
If it’s the latter I think this thread should be deleted.
You should never marry someone with the expectation that they will eventually change
Sports people and movie stars are more like products than they are like sales people.
Of course, they are getting paid for “doing something”. But everyone “does something”.
This is not true. There are plenty of people who receive benefits who don’t do anything.
This has nothing to do with being more or less frum. It has to do with minhag. If you told any of those gedolim you listed that you have a minhag not to eat gebrokts, I’m sure they would tell you to stick with your minhag.
Can you say baguette?
I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m just saying it’s not an appropriate application of the concept of safek d’oraysa lechumra
In this case I am obviously not going to eat it…
If it’s assur, it’s assur.
And safek d’oraysa lechumra.
That’s not how that works…
I heard in a shiur from a prominent posek (he gave the source for this halacha but I don’t remember it) that it is assur to handle chometz on Pesach because we are concerned that you might come to eat it.
Lilmod, what do you consider modern?
Is it assur for one to rip his own hair out on chol hamoed?
Same with lighting candles if you’re actually going to be using the light immediately.
This was my first reaction when I read mik5’s post.
But if you read it again you will notice that the point is that since we don’t fully understand bein hash’mashos, the day can switch from one to the next at any moment. This means that even if you light candles in order to use the light immediately, that “immediately” might already be the next day.
My problem is, by that logic, it should have nothing to do with melocha. For example, I shouldn’t be allowed to move a chair across the room to sit on it immediately because by the time I sit on it it might be the next day.
BoysWork,
In response to point #2, as LU has said, you are entering in the middle of a story.
Rebshidduch has said several things in other threads that make it quite clear that this guy is not simply a guy who went OTD and came back on. Here’s just one example: he told her that he decided he will learn full time so that she would want to date him.
So in this case, who is MRA”H and who is Paraoh?
I never got an afikomen present growing up. Many of my friends did but I never understood it, and I still don’t understand it.
I would be very surprised if someone could give a valid explanation and/or source for the minhag.
I have no idea what you just said.
But that’s fine, I’ll assume you know what you’re doing
Rebshidduch
What changed in the last few weeks that you suddenly don’t think he is your bashert anymore?
R’ Moshe has a teshuvah…but we certainly don’t paskin like that
I’m pretty sure there are people who do follow R’ Moshe in that regard
I don’t understand.
Would the question be different if you replaced the words “soldier” and “comrades” with “person” and “friends”?
Thank you, Meno
I think you meant “Thank you, iacisrmma”
