    “Anyone wanna open one with me?”

    Sure. I’ve been a Dayan in many cases. We just need one more.

    “The website for sukkah depot does not offer any fine print as to what they warranty,I could not find any link or tab to find additional information”

    If you click the menu button (the three horizontal lines) on the right side of the website heading, and then click warranty from the drop-down menu, it will bring you to the terms of the warranty.

    It does look like something weird is going on with their website though. Maybe Donald Trump hired Chinese hackers to hack into their website and change the terms of the warranty. I’ll paste the current text of the warranty below, just in case they are successful:

    Basic warranty

    Warranty for EASY LOCK sukkah

    Sukkah Depot will repair or replace this product free of charge (with a new or rebuilt parts) within 10 years from the original date of purchase , in the event of defect occurring in materials or during normal usage.

    Warranty for PANEL sukkah

    Sukkah Depot offers a 5 year warranty with regards to manufacturer’s defects (i.e loose screws /bolts, loosened rubber bands, etc.) or defects occurring during normal use, or failures due to water exposure (i.e bubbling, panel decay, etc.)

    Please note

    Basic warranty covers failures occurring due to defects in material or workmanship which occur during normal, reasonable use. It does not cover damage which may occur as a result of misuse, abuse, mishandling and services by anyone other than Sukkah Depot, any use that is not in accordance with the product’s instructions or purpose, or damage that is attributable to unusual acts of G-D (i.e hurricanes, earthquake, external flooding ect.). Signed warranty certificate and original receipt must be presented for validation of warranty.

    Warranty service can be obtained the first of Elul through the first of Tishrei. Please refer to the Telephone number listed below.

    “If this interpretation is incorrect or the guy actually does have commitment issues then my accusers are guilty of Motzie Shem Ra.”

    I doubt that’s true.

    I don’t know the halachos very well, but I can imagine that if you just make up a story about someone, that’s motzi shem ra, even if by chance the story turns out to be true.

    “So if the canvas ripped because of the poor workmanship of the poles, is that covered?”

    If the poles aren’t under warranty, probably not. Just like if your window gets shattered because of the poor workmanship of the poles.

    “i also googled, and found one that has 3 years on fabric and 10 years on poles.”

    I don’t even know how to pronounce “Noahide”. Is the H silent? It would make sense that it is silent, since it is in the name Noah, but that makes it more difficult to pronounce.

    Maybe “Ben-Noach” would be better

    I once got tinnitus (constant ringing in the ear) that lasted several days, after a Chanukah Chagiga in a Yeshiva. It was the worst when there was no background noise, such as when I was trying to go to sleep. That can seriously drive a person mad.

    I just googled “sukkah 10 year warranty” and clicked on the first link that came up. I’m assuming that’s the one to which you’re referring. If you click the menu button on the right side of the website heading, and then click warranty, it will bring you to the terms of the warranty.

    The terms seem pretty basic, but it doesn’t say anything about only covering poles or any other portion of the Sukkah

    LU,

    Maybe, but it just seems like a silly reason to say it’s assur. There are so many things that change a person’s heart rate. I think it should be irrelevant in deciding whether the music is mutar or not

    I once found an English sefer lying around in a shul which discussed the problems with non-Jewish music. I was curious, so I flipped through it a bit.

    One of the things it said was something along the lines of non-Jewish music being physically unhealthy because the beats used can change your heart rate.

    I laughed.

    I would just like to point out that no one in this thread has brought any source (let alone a good source) for the fact that there is something inherently wrong with throwing food.

    I’m not taking sides, I’m just saying that it seems there is a lot of bashing based only on feelings rather than facts.

    Unless you’re a Jew and you have good reason to believe that the other person is also a Jew.

    Not saying I agree that people should start worrying, just saying that you have the wrong idea.

    I’ve heard you aren’t supposed to throw bread (not necessarily assur). Never heard it regarding food in general.

    Maybe we just teach our kids not to throw food because it’s bad manners.

    In regards to Dr., Rabbi, and King, their titles don’t change because of their professions, it changes because of their degree/rabbinic ordainment/whatever makes someone a king.

    The real problem is when one day you want a guy who works and the next day you decide you want a guy who learns.

    And then the next day you decide you can’t be yeshivish because apparently gothic people can’t be yeshivish.

    “So I guess in your case it’s the Jewish Esrog sellers that make sure each year that esrogim. Are being planted by the millions etc… And not forgotten”

    That’s exactly right.

    The esrogim we buy are grown in Jewish orchards. They have to be, in order that we can ensure that they are not murkav. If we didn’t need esrogim for Sukkos, there would be no reason for these orchards to exist. And since esrogim aren’t really good for anything else (besides maybe smelling nice), they would probably just go extinct.

    I actually just watched it again (I hadn’t seen it in a while), and you may be right that it was intended to be a joke, but part of the reason it’s such a good joke is that it’s totally true. Either way, I think it does a good job getting the point across.
