    I keep the chumra of treating milk as fleishig, since it is produced by the cow.

    I hold it with a fork. It’s hard to dunk a raisin-sized piece of watermelon without it slipping out of your hand.

    If you use a pickle, you wouldn’t be dipping it. So then when the kid asks why we dip twice, you’ll say “What are you talking about? We only dip once.” and he’ll feel stupid, and it’s not nice to make someone feel stupid, especially a kid, and especially on pesach.

    There was no shidduch crisis then.

    Sure there was, there was just no Coffee Room then, so nobody knew about the shidduch crisis.

    Though I personally think it’s rude to get up and say a D’var Torah at a kiddush. Just let people eat their chulent and speak loshon hora in peace.

    Agav, there are those who are choshed that a potatoe is not hoadama and therefore are careful not to use potato.

    What bracha do they make on it?

    In a nutshell, when you lease a car you are paying for peace of mind. Sure, if you buy a used car you might end up ahead as far as dollars and cents, but you don’t get that peace of mind.

    Peace of mind is worth money, and it’s something that you pay for more often than you may think. If you buy any type of insurance policy (auto, life, homeowner’s, etc.) you’re also just paying for peace of mind.

    “And you can only drive for a certain amount of miles 🙄”

    So you figure how many miles you’ll need. It’s not that hard.

    Even if you own a car, the mileage isn’t free. Every mile you drive costs you money in some form. It’s just a matter of when you’ll pay for it.

    I don’t understand the whole kuntz in leasing

    You spend all this money on a car that you probably won’t own in 3 years

    And it isn’t even like an apartment because you have to pay to fix the car if something gets damaged but normal wear and tear on an apartment is understandable

    Also the insurance is more expensive on a leased car

    If you buy a car and drive it for 3 years, it will be worth much less than what you bought it for, and then you end up having to pay for repairs. Whether you buy or lease, you end up paying for the depreciation.

    Also, insurance is not more expensive for a leased car – it’s more expensive for a new car. Doesn’t matter whether you lease or buy.

    Whether they intend to or not, a certification is an advertisement of its product. End of story.

    Most automakers disregard dents up to the size of a quarter and scratches up to the size of a credit card. I recently returned a car with a NYC-style scratched up bumper and I wasn’t charged at all.

    The mitzvah is not the drinking, and it is ignorant to proclaim it as such. The mitzvah is simcha, as stated clearly in the Megillah.

    Who says they are both the same mitzvah?

    Rebbetzingoldennosepicker,

    My kasha is, if MITZVOS TZRICHOS KAVANA, how does he and she have the proper kavana to be yotzeh the mitzva of ad dlo yada when asleep?

    Even if you go to sleep, the maiseh mitzvah is still the drinking. Ad d’lo yoda is the shiur to be m’kayem the mitzvah. Going to sleep is just a heiche timtzi [insert thumb-swoop here] to reach that shiur (albeit not in the most mehudardike way). Therefore you only need kavanah for the drinking itself, not the sleeping.

    Good kashe though.

    The “Great Value” (walmart private label) milk does not have a hechsher on it.

    According to the OU Product Search, Great Value Milk is OU-certified (when bearing the OU symbol). You can even see a picture of it on the Walmart website with an OU-D.

    And also you’re not Joseph.

    The cholov Yisroel is on the milking of the cow, the hechsher is on everything involving the plant, workers, tubing, vats, cleansers etc.

    I would imagine most of that is regulated by the FDA as well. There are plenty foods that are acceptable without a hechsher, according to the “mainstream” kashrus organizations.

    Meno: Please clarify what point you’re trying to convey. Are you asserting that if milk that has no hechshor whatsoever is being sold in the U.S., people who use Cholov Stam would have no problem buying it and drinking it and actually do so?

    Some would and some wouldn’t, just like some people wouldn’t drink bottled water without a hechsher.

    But my point was that your claim that people who rely on R’ Moshe’s hetter still wouldn’t drink milk without any hechsher is simply not true. It just happens to be that most milk has a hechsher anyway.

    So why don’t user of the Cholov Stam heter use any Cholov Stam milk or products that has no hechsher?

    Joseph, I challenge you to find milk in a supermarket in the NY Metro area without a hechsher.

    Here’s a fun fact: when they routinely check your receipt as you leave Costco (and I suspect the same is true in other stores), they aren’t checking to make sure you didn’t steal stuff. They’re checking to make sure the cashiers rang stuff up correctly.

    It’s true. The internet said so.

    klugeryid,
    what i meant is
    say im selling shoes
    there are 100 people looking to buy shoes today in my area
    so if i sell to all of them no other shoe store in my area sells any today.
    so i won this round by beating out the competitors
    for that opportunity its fair to tax me

    By that logic, if there were two stores and each sold 50 pairs, neither one should be taxed.
