Absolutely not. Of course if his wife is sick he should be able to do something in an emergency. but he shouldnt do it bkveius: its just wrong.
“I’m fairly certain that if you talk to any head-checker in a girls’ yeshiva, they will tell you that lice eggs are NOT microscopic. Small, yes — but not microscopic and they can be seen with the naked eye.”
No they wont say it because its not true. Teh gemara says otherwise and any woman who doesnt believe in what the gemara says deserves to be fired from her job in a yeshiva. How can you let a woman near our dear children who will tell them that the Torah is false?
It should be so obvious that volcanos are the shaarei gehenim. Only a fool would say not.
“And how do you know it was never a contributing factor in a later heart attack?”
Because someone who does a mitzva is not harmed. Eating milchigs on Shavous is a mitzva.
Of course theres real yiddeshe music. Do you think Hashem would allow a tzadik to mistakenly sing a song inspired by todays rock “stars” or the menuvaldik goyim in Europe?
Lots of things are lo yilbash. Dieing hair carrying a weapon and so on. Anything that a woman normally does is assur for a man and vice versa. Thats why women dont go to war.
And his wife is a moredes because we assume that both of them want to follow halacha even if they act differently – see the meforshim about beating a man to give his wife a get. If she doesnt want to follow halacha then shes a moredes no different as if she didnt cook kosher meals or go to the mikvah.
Theres no reason for a yid to go to the army. unless the war is a mitzvah which you wont find in the US, it is assur to go. Count me as another “bigot” who thinks that fighting unnecessary wars is only for goyim.
“The Wolf (who has changed many diapers and cooked many meals) “
You should ask about this too. A man who cooks meals for his family (I’m not talking about a professional chef) may be oiver the lav of lo yilbash, which includes things that women normally do (like dieing hair). Since normally the wife cooks, I think that it would be assur for a man to do constantly.
The halacha is exactly as Kasha said. The man is in charge of the house and the wife is not allowed to say anything against him. She has to do the things the Rambam and the S”A say (washing him, serving him, ect). Besides this being halacha, it is pashut that it has to be this way.
Wolf if everyone is equal in a house then I think he needs to ask a shaila if he’s allowed to run the house that way. If not and a wife wont listen to a husband, he may be required to divorce her. She might be considered a moredes for not listening to him.
I buy challois from the grocery store next door to my house.
Wolf if you dont drink how are you mekayim the mitzva of ad dlo yada on purim.
EDITED
Theres no excuse to go up to the har habayis. Anyone that does is oiver a lav and is chayiv kares aside from the lav of lo sasuru.
Hey Wolf,
Listen here. No, you say, we cant do it because of the constitution. No, we cant do it because of taxes. No, the state is broke. No, the plan will never work. No, the scientologies are the good guys.
Torah learning is what is keeping the world in place. The goyim should be paying us to learn! Not only should they be paying for our yeshivos (like they do for their own kids) but also for kollel and the like (like they pay for college for themselves). The reason they dont is because they are sonei yisroel. Eisva sonei lyakov — they don’t want us to learn and they do everything to try to stop us. Now their trying to bankrupt us with these high tuitions. Big deal, we’ll survive. Weve been here for thousands of years and have buried anyone who has tried to destroy us.
I hated taking the regents. big waste of time.
Agreed. There is lots in the coffeeroom that can be talked about on dates. I dont see why this should be a problem.
Oh and it is the guys job to keep the conversation going.
Obviously we werent learning enough.
“Wolfish tried claiming it wasn’t necessary to ask a shaila. I’ve said ask a shaila and if necessary write/get a Shtar Mechilla. “
Of course you have to ask a shailah. How can a person even consider doing something as important and life changing as getting engaged or breaking an engagement without asking a shailah?
“Which, I always felt, kind of made the whole thing pointless. “
How dare you call a minhag that yidden have observed for thousands of years “pointless”? Just who do you think you are to casually toss aside a minhag. What next? Just throw away the second day of yuntiff?
“How is a bad policy by a school in NC an indication that Moshiach is close?”
Wolf, why do you have a problem with Moshiach being close?
A wife’s obligations toward her working husband include:
— housework
— being there for him
— helping him out
— obeying him
— raising the children
— not undermining his authority in the house
“That may be true. Nonetheless, ain somchin al hanes…”
Except that the fact that learning protects is not a nes – its perfectly natural according to the world that Hashem created.
People should spend time with their families, and that’s it. There’s no reason to socialize with anyone who is not your family. To do so simply opens the door to aveiros.
How about asking daas torah?
Im not a big baseball fan, but as a New Yorker, I’m glad the Yankees are in the World Series.
“L’Kovod Shabbos Kodesh you should go the extra mile. “
Of course. But people like Wolf figure it doesn’t matter since he doesnt care if he gets paid back or not.
I think that cell phones ought to be banned outright.
Our minhag is to use a chicken, but if its youre familie’s minhag to use money specifically, then thats all right.
a bee trap works well for us.
We finished at 2:30 both days. 1st day had a short break
Okay I’m going to disagree here. I think that learning science is dangerous and can lead to kefira. If your curious about science learn Torah and the science will come along with it.
Our phones go off every shabbos and yuntif. We dont want anythign to disturb the kedushas shabbos.
“The reason that mixed swimming is assur is because it is kiruv l’arayos.”
Do you know that thats the reason? Or maybe its assur because its among the things one should not do. Just to repeat the point, just because its with your wife doesnt mean that its permitted-there are plenty of things that are forbidden even with your wife.
I’ve got to agree. 26 is much more of a Jewish number than 42.
Niagara is a nice place. The falls can be beautiful. If only it wasn’t such a pritzusdik place.
I remember reading an interesting story about R. Kanievsky who determined that someone sitting at a shabbos table wasn’t jewish because he did not eat cholent.
Why would you think that its permitted. Just because something is with your spouse doesn’tmean its muttar. You cant eat treif with your spouse. You cant be mechallel shabbos with your spouse.
Every frum Jew knows that mixed swimming is completely and utterly assur. I don’t know of anyone who make a hetter for a married couple. Why dont you show me where halacha says that its permitted?
Right, chaverim. There are certain places that frum Jews just shouldn’t go and there are certain activities (such as mixed swimming, even in private) that one cannot engage in.
Wolf,
Mixed swimming is assur.
“Sorry… I hold the door open for everyone. Men, women, children, Jewish, non-Jewish… it doesn’t matter.”
Sam Berger, are you trying to say that everyone (men, women children, Jews, goyim) are the same?
I went out on a date with a girl who insisted that I not look at her. It was the oddest thing. Apparently in her mind I was suppose to keep my head down the entire time. It was surreal. Neadless to say, there was no second date. I wonder if she ever had a 2nd date with anyone?
“Planetarium”
Is it appropriate to go to a please where kefira is so evident and open?
How about the Brooklyn Botanical Garden or the Bronx Zoo when the weather is nicer. Or a nice walk over the Brooklyn Bridge.
I know I’m a very infrequent poster, but here I am.
If you have such questions, you should consult Daas Torah. That’s what its for.
“Always keep in mind the Chazal Jothar pointed out:
Rubam begezel “
Not rubam… kulam.
“That’s great… and I’m glad that it worked for you. For me, it was just the opposite – between the date I met my future wife and the date of the wedding, over three years elapsed – and that worked for us.”
There’s no reason for it to take that long, **DELETED** –YW Moderator-25. I can’t think of a single posek that would allow you to date a woman for three years before marriage. We can argue over two dates, three dates, ten, or whatever, but I think we can all agree that three years is too much.
Perhaps we can set up a system where unmarried girls can go and take shifts helping out in the homes of women who have just given birth. It’ll give them good experience for when they find husbands for themselves.
“mosherose, Is Wolfish Mr. Berger?”
Yes. Sam Berger is the author of WolfishMusings.
No one needs a spectacular vacation. If you can help out your fellow man, you have no excuse to be selfish.
Sam Berger says: “Using your logic, no one should ever spend a cent on any discretionary item, since there is *always* someone in the neighborhood who doesn’t have food for Shabbos, can’t get the funds for yeshiva tuition, needs money to marry off a child, etc.”
Well, no, not really, Berger. Hashem gives you money to help out other people. You have no right spending it on expensive, frivoulous things if it can help out others.
Music from a goy is metamtem halev. Every time I hear MBD’s Yidden, I can practically feel a tosfos being sucked out of my head. It’s horrible.
Yeah, it always bugs me when people’s phones go off during davening. Please, people! Lets have some proper respect for the Ribbono Shel Olam.
