musser – some of us wives make an agreement to be our husband’s zevulun and fargin the kesuba
Fargin all you want. How many are taking from the govt, food stamps, wic? Is the govt a zevulon too?
ROB- thanks for your comments and assumptions. we disagree with you.
Toi, The kollelleit don’t even fulfill the requiremnts of the kesuba, which includes support. It is the man’s responsibility to support the wife, not the other way. I guess you disagree with the kesubah also.
Yes, there are people associated with YCT who are massive Talmidei Chachamim
Oh how we have fallen. “massive talmidei chachamim” Prey tell who are these massive talmidei chacamim? Sam2, i’m calling you out on this one. Who are they? and what makes them massive talmidei chachamim?
FWIW, Lopatin the new president of ytc is about as lw as you can get. The only thing lopatin holds should be below the knee is a mechitza. A complete am haaretz.
Question…Isthe Lav of Lo Sichanem for praising ovdei avodah zara or all goyim bichlal?
DY, Great! Which yeshiva will sponsor the one day where the single guys watch the single girls dancing. Think Brisk,Mir or Ponevezh will take the lead…Not.
Gemara in Taanis says on TU B’Av single women used to dance in the fields and eligible men would choose them for wives. The Chareidim now would probably be raging against Chazal for being so liberal and untznius. I think if we got back to sensible meeting and dating we wouldn’t have a shidduch crisis.
Is this a post to try to get everybody to tell how old they are?
I’m disappointed…I thought CF was center field. Dis you mean cr?
During the times of Chazal they leined the Torah every 3 years and the gemara in megilla 31A tells us they leined Zos habracha on the day after shmini atzere each year.
It indicates a tremendous lack of yiras Haborei.
Do you think Hashem made heter iskah and pruzbel muttar by mistake ch’v?
Hashem didn’t “make” them. they are takanos d’rabanon”
It’s for ordinary loans that the original halachos are for- like if you borrow $100 for a week. Noone does a heter iska for that…
What do you mean “original halachos”?
Krusty the Clown.
Abraham Lincoln was Jewish. Was shot in the temple.
His mother’s last name was Armstrong, which is not a name that is associated with being Jewish.
armstrong= yad chazaka sounds Jewish to me 🙂
What I meant about the Rambam not having Rishonim to hash it out was that, had the Rambam been born now he would be like us, subject to the consensus.
If the Rambam were born now..he wouldn’t be the Rambam. Still don’t get your point.
I think there is a difference between the Rambam and someone today in that the Rambam didn’t have the benefit of the gedolei Rishonim and Achronim.
You must be joking…Rambam IS gedolei rishonim. Absolutely ridiculous to say that Ramabam needed any rishon or acharon to clarify his shita. And that we have better understanding of Torah. Too funny.
Recently in one of the big shuls in my neighborhood they had an election for president of the young marrieds minyan between one person who wanted decorum during davening and the incumbent who promised to allow all the schmoozing status quo…. the result incumbent 85% of the vote.. Mi Kaamch Yisrael.
Voting to allow shmoozing?…to bad the “big shul” doesn’t have a Rov to keep the members on the derech. Looks like the inmates are running the asylum.
a woman is pasul l’aidus, but can initiate a din Torah.ot sure what you are asking.
Wolf the gezeirah of David was yichud penuya. Yichud isha is d’oraysa.
147 – You take your own biases and declare that to be the halacha.
You should rather opine that the NK can’t be part of a minyan accrding to 147. By making these ridiculous statements you really do yourself a disservice because rational people will ignore you.
Say that in you opinion NK is misguided or mistaken. But we could really do without the hyperbole, especially in ragard to halacha.
And isn’t a megala panim baTorah shelo k’halacha tantamount to an apikores?
Ibn Ezra said a lot of things that the typical, yeshivish guy would find objectionable.
RD, name 3 or 4 things “that the typical, yeshivish guy would find objectionable” that the Ibn ezra said. Besides what was already mentioned here. With citations. I look forward to your learned answer.
Thus you shouldn’t get all bent out of shape about the Arabs (with whom we have a disupte about real estate – dinei mamonos at best)
The Arabs are murdering scum. Calling it a dispute over real estate is disengenuous and insulting to the families of victims of Arab terror. Shame on you!
Buying OH will not “save him from doing more Aveiros in life”. And maybe it probably has negative value anyway.
Now if the seller embarraes a Yid in public he loses his olam haba. How can the buyer be sure it’s not a mekach taus?
Even though he is 22. because of his disability the family should apply for Medicare to help pay for RX.
Also supplemental social security disability SSI.
The gemara in kiddushin tells us that a wife needs her husband to be happy. But don’t forget the gemara is talking about a time that a woman was completelt dependent on a man for her sustenace.
That said, I think the passuk means a husband must go out of his way to make his wife happy. Regardless of what makes her happy. He must do everything in his power to give her that feelinng of security.
Reb Doniel- I counsel gerim to avoid the Haredi world as much as possible,
Spider Jeusalem- All geirim should militantly avoid all Haredim unless they enjoy being treated like a dog.
Anyone else notice a similarity between these “two” posters?
No rebellion against Hashem R’L. It is a moot question really. It is wonderful being a Jew and keeping the Torah. But it is also a great responsibility. Im really saying there is an Omek Hadin. Yiddishkeit isn’t warm fuzzies. Just read thru the yamim hanoraim machzor.
We do mitzvos and stay away from aveiros because as Yidden this is our job. There is no mitzva to volunteer for this. In fact beis din tries there best to disuade potential geirim from joining. Yes we have teshuva and Torah learning. gevaldik. If your teshuva isnt accepted by Hashem. If there isn’t the purest of teshuvah…then there is gehinom. Mishpotecha t’hom raba.
Nothing more to say. I am done with this discussion.
Schreck, I did see it and respectfully disagree. Yes the upside is great by being a Jew, but the potential downside is so much greater. Who can say they are living up to taryag mitzvos. The only reason I do mitzvos is that I am metzuveh. If I wasn’t a yid I certainly would not volunteer for it. It is too easy to be over kares. Nope not volunteering for that. Do you even realize how serious every aveirah is? Tread carefully.
My understanding is that Reb Zalman Nechemia does not expect people to use this smicha to actually pasken shailos. It’s for people who are going out in chinuch or kiruv and need the “Rabbi” title.
Also it sounds real good when you get called for an alya. Also good for shiduch resumes and impresing the mechutanim.
“My understanding is that Reb Zalman Nechemia does not expect people to use this smicha to actually pasken shailos.”
What happens when they try to or do?
The smicha self destructs.
Also, why would you stop the Daf? You should try to know as much Torah as possible when you become a Yid.
First of all that was all said tongue in cheek.
Second, I would not be megayer. I could get to Olam Haba relatively easy being a righteous goy. Why become a Jew, with all the challenges and trials. There is absolutely no mitzva or chiyuv for a goy to become a yid.
WIY- Tongue in cheek
I would
1. Talk during Cazaras hashatz and krias hatorah.
2. come late for davening
3. stop daf yomi immediately
4. Carry in the eruv
5. start using chalav stam
6. eat gebrochts on pesach
You start. What do you think is considered being called a MENTCH?
Or even better, Hallel on Rosh Chodesh. According to all opinions it is minhag, not halachah.
Yes, Hallel on Rosh Chodesh is minhag and it is halacha. I think you mean it isn’t a chiyuv.
BTW, as an aside, by definition it’s impossible to Hashem a favor.
PBT, Sorry but the minhag to stay up all night on Shavuos goes back to the Zohar. Much more thatn 400 years ago.
Ultimateskier- Me and you are in the same boat:)
That would be “you and I” are in the same boat. i hope you check your grammer in your other writing.
Everybody has to know themselves and the way their body works. SM indicated correctly that learning all night is a minhag, not a chiyuv. I’m suree noone argues that point. The OP indicated he had an infection and hadn’t slept for some nights and would be unable to learn all night. rt brought up a red herring and Sam2 didn’t speak to the OP’s concern.
Sam2 RSZ siad the minhag is worth hurting your learning… not hurting your health.
I’m giving a shiur on “Kabbalat haTorah, Chesed, and Megillat Rut
RD I think you mean hesed.
& which Nussach did they pray in?
Yaakov avinu and Moshe rabbeinu davened in their own words, no nusach necessary, until the anshei knesses hagedolah. They set down a formal nusach.
Rachmana liba buey. Attitude is everything. Why you give and how you give is much more important than how much you give.
He gives the hechsher along with Rabbi Aryeh Ralbag, another giant in Torah. There is no halakhic reason for Ashkenazim to be makpid on glatt.
So why are you answering your troll question? Dash is 100% correct. Gotcha.
I acknowledge giftedness and gadlus when I see it.
RD you meant to say gadlut…but I took your statement as a misspelling of G-dless.
They want women to take over the Bais Medrash. They want to force those in Bais Medrash into the army. Where are those in the army going? Oh, to fill in for the women..
Why shouldn’t women take over the Bais Medrash. The yungeleit want their wives to support them. So after work it’s natural that the wives go the bais medrash.
V’kol Torah sheain ima melacha sofa bateila…v’hamaivin yavin,
I’m not sure, but I think Syag is Joseph. Am I right?
or chalav Yisroel? birkas hachama? And of course there would have to be zionists there so there would be someone for the “real Jews” to hate
Learn in a bais midrash, preferably with a chavrusa, Turn off your cell phone. That should get rid of the yetzer
I hope you didn’t make an Al Achilas Matzah at the second Seder either.
Sam2-im pretty sure Al Achilas Matzah at the second Seder is mitzva D’rabbonin…more than minhag.
Popa-but there are none so blind as those who will not see. (Jesus said that)
No he did not say that. Not a chance.
sam g-d said we get eretz yisroel back by mashiach and some people think they can do it before it so we can mix with society and start peace and never have people hated us this much analysis LISTEN TO THE RABONIM STOP THINKING YOUR SMARTER
1 question: If their was another holocaust R”L, wouldnt it be great if there would be haven like Israel for Yidden to escape to. Why must everything be black and white?
