I have only one word to say on this entire debate.
PHOTOSHOP!!!!
I would like to know what those commercial aircraft are made out of. Because in case they would fly over cemeteries, it would be very important to know if the emperor’s second cousin, whose father is a kohen (surely, in the post Hasmonean era, the emperor himself is not a Kohen) would need to photoshop a plastic bag onto himself so that they think he is frum enough to do a shidduch with other properly geneologized royal families.
Rav Shach most likely never instructed the flag to be flown. While he was the biggest personality there for a while, he was never the boss in an administrative sense. The decision to fly the flag must surely have come from someone at the business administrative department, meaning someone named Kahaneman, depending on which generation you’re talking about.
And to address his specific points, TZom Gedaliah was established by the same Chazal who established Tisha B’av in response to Churban Bais Hamikdash. Taanis Esther could also fit into that if it would be a day of mourning, but it isn’t that anyway. Sefira is not an official azkara, only a miut in simcha. Anyone who has ever been in availus and learned the halachos should know the difference. And anyways those date back to tanaim, who were authorizeed to make such takanos. The crusades are b’davka mentioned in kinos on Tisha B’av (Mi Yitein Roshi Mayim, Sha’ali Serufa Baesh, and others.) And Tach V’tat was only imposed on the medina that suffered.
DovBear is one of the most vocal “Malig al divrei chachamim” in Klal Yisroel. He is against anything that rabbanim say first, then he figures out the reason. EXACTLY what he accuses us of in that post.
20 Sivan was a gezeira accepted by certain kehillos to commemorate their own tzaros. Gantz Klal Yisroel only does Tisha B’av. Ayein Rashi in Divrei Hayamim II on the possuk Vayekonein Yirmiyahu al Yoshiyahu.
Yeshivaguy45 thought that what was said about Hanna Sacks was Lashon Hara and maybe Motzi shem ra. Then he goes and says that Bais Yaakov High School says you do not need to look proper and be human. Hmmm.
Paroh and Yosef are quoted in the Torah as conversing in Lashon Hakodesh even though we know that Paroh did not speak that language.

Interjection: Excellent piece. Only one comment. It was 515 tefillos. Gematria of Va’eschanan.
Not without inundating them with waaaaay more requests than their limited local fundraising apparatus can handle.
Threads that ask about specific mosdos are virtually all a total waste of time. One of two things happens. Either there is nasty Lashon Hara, or such empty puff positive stuff as to also be useless.
Aaron: At the risk of getting stoned, I would say that the pool of potential early-morning chavrusos, and the pool of those eligible for morning sickess, do not overlap.
There may be a machlokes where the International Date Line is. But pretty much everyone agrees that it exists. And if one goes 360 degrees, one will encounter it. Whether you go East and have 8 times netz and shkia, and give a day at the line, or you go West and have 6 times netz and shkia, and gain a day at the line, it will still add up to 7 if you go all the way.
So yageir thinks kisvei kodesh are not honest. That ought to mean that he is not part of any debate around here.
I think JayMAtt has it right, Its just like Shofar. We should drink for a month before, to practice, kedei l’arvev hasatan, or whatever kavana you have. Then do not drink the day before Purim, when it’s Taanis Esther (in most years.) This way it will be chaviv again on Purim. (And the stomach will have a day to regroup too.)
If you say birkas hachama every 27 years, you will be off until 756 years out! (27 x 28 = 756)
Every 247 years. 13 times 19 years. Check out the Luach printed in the Tur Orach Chaim chelek bais right after Hilchos Rosh Chodesh.
Vulcans don’t have a sense of humor. They are purely logical beings. Perhaps half Vulcan and half human. (Oh boy, the girsa dyankusa came out there!)
Bring along some of those lethal beans, and I just might be there!!
I would agree with snowbunny, but not for her reason. SHe thinks it can’t happen. I know the gemara talks about different minim coming out, and their din. Kalut bim’ei Parah, etc. But if it is a kalut, then it it doesn’t have chazir fissel, does it? So lechoira it is not possible. Now a horse born from a cow, that would be discussed in CHulin!
Interjection: How’s your search going?
JayMatt has obviously never had a daughter in 12th grade.
Confucious is obviously not here long enough to know that according to Popa there is no such thing as a Jewish woman.
And the Palestinians know the most about stones throwing!!
My daughter got married in Israel this past summer. My family, and my wife’s family have been here since the early 20th century. My mechuten and his wife are children of Holocaust survivors. Neither of us was challenged in any way.
I don’t think anyone really answered Popa’s question properly. The smicha after shkia comes from a silly pun. Smicha=blanket. The only smicha he has is on his bed. Ho ho!! Or as Popa would say, He he!!
I see RebDoniel is coming over to our side! Between his Uri L’tzedek thread (ignoring the Apology one) and his comments above, he might actually be becoming a ittle chareidi!
And apparently “tranche” is Popa’s word du jour.
And I thought that “Weiss is a publicity whore” is one of themost accurate lines I’ve seen in the coffeeroom in a long time!!
What about me? I’m not the most prolific poster around here, but I’ve been here since December 2006.

Eisav and Yishmael? Maybe Cham and Yefes.
Kol Korehs about theories are wonderful. But watch what the roshei yeshiva encourage their talmidim, their children and grandchildren to do.
When NASI was trying to tinker with the shidduch model, that was one thing. Now they are trying to tinker with the entire yeshiva system. Those would be very treacherous waters in which to tread.
How can both 2013 and 1987 be consecutive? If you count the zeros, then 2013 is but 1987 is not. And if you dont count zeros, then every year from 2000-2010 (except 2002) was also all unique digits.
Ummmm, remember the condition? Offer still stands!!
While I very much respect Sam2’s knowledge, I think he is guilty of mixing two unrelated concepts here. The sugya about zugos is in regards to sheidim, not ayin hara. Sheidim are creatures with feeling somewhat akin to humans. When one takes extreme caution to avoid them, that draws the attention of the sheidim to him. They are then ready to pounce the instant he lets his guard down.
Ayin Hara is a spiritual koach that has no feelings. Mahn d’kapid, kapdinan bahadei is only on sheidim, not ayin hara.
BM 107b. Ayein Sham and the top Tosfos about zera shel Yosef.
Hey interjection: Did someone push one of your buttons?
Bribi is a title. As are Abba and Mari.
Please ignore Shmendrick.
A. He is a troll.
B. He’s a Popa wanna be. But he’ll never be Popa ‘cuz Popa is funny in his trolliness. This guy is just annoying troll.
C. His angle sounds very much like Joseph’s did in his very early days of the coffeeroom.
An Apple Store is an amazing shopping experience. HOWEVER, they are not cheap. And they aren’t interested in the repair business. Apple products break far less than those of their competitors. But when they do break, good luck! Not much help there.
just my hapence
a penny for your thoughts, minus some change
Loyal Jew –
“Learning and earning” don’t go together. The rule is to aim for a talmid chacham, which plainly rules out the “earning” part.
Try telling that to the Navi Amos (farmer), Hillel Ha’Zaken (woodchopper), Shammai Ha’Zaken (builder), R’ Eliezer (naval merchant), Shmuel (doctor), Rashi (vintner), Rambam, Ramban (both doctors), and the list goes on…
I guess someone is fulfilling EY Mom’s suggestion to look for older guys!!
Popa, is that always? Or only on the first night of Chanuka?
My how the world has changed!! Not so long ago, people were talking about speaking to Rav Elyashiv, Rebbetzin Kanievsky, Rav Scheinberg. And now? Chaval al d’avdin!!!
Methinks that this idea was conceived in “badness”
That is, IMHO, a very good reason why women don’t learn gemara. They hear a legal/technical term like Maaseh Kof, and they take it personally and go get all insulted.
I just want to know what was the Yiddish word that when put in the google translator, yielded “badness.”
Sam2: Agreed. I assume what you’re referring to in the Tanur shel achnai is the death of Rabban Gamliel through R’ Eliezer’s tachanun, in BM 59b. His pristine yichus didn’t save him there, did it?
I did not make up that taama d’kra though. I’ll have to track down the source.
That is correct oomis. He was a ben ger, However the zechus avos issue is the same.
The primary reason that a Ger may not hold a position of serara, is because he does not have zechus avos. If the people over whom he has serara are moser din lashomayim on him, he will need zechus avos to protect himself.
The gemara in Brachos 27b mentions this as a reason that R’ Akiva did not get the job of nasi when Rabban Gamliel was deposed.
