    apashutayid, you are willfully blinded. Must Rav Belsky tell you it applies to Ruth’s Chris Steak House, otherwise you won’t accept it and claim he must be referring only to Morton’s Steakhouse?

    Rav Belsky said even if your boss tells you there will be a business meeting or for you to meet a client in a non-kosher restaurant you cannot — unless you will lose your job otherwise. But you insist you can go to chazer fresseray in a treif place because your coworker is celebrating picking up his newest wife?

    “Yes, I discussed it with someone.”

    A friend or bubba? Or a posek?

    There is a reason why Yidden sit shiva when, Chas V’Challila, someone intermarries.

    gavra, don’t know how you are making that kind of a distinction between partial treif and totally treif. In fact, if a store (i.e. coffee shop) sells some kosher and some non kosher, there may be a heter to got in and buy kosher. It says one who is famished, and has nowhere else to eat (in place of tzar and loss) is allowed to walk into a non-kosher restaurant and eat any kosher food which they may serve (coffee etc). So obviously without that hardship it wouldn’t apply. Also see Igros Moshe O.C. 4:82.

    In any event, see what Rav Belsky said above, I cited – based on Rav Moshe.

    I believe Mod 80 said everything that needs to be said about this issue:

    Moderator-80

    Mr. 80

    it has everything to do with tznius

    not specifically a label, but dressing to attract attention.

    Moderator-80

    Mr. 80

    driving in a lexus

    could be a tznius issue, depends

    tznius is about a lot more than covering certain areas

    it has to do with speech, with deportment, with ostentation, with causing hirhur, to start

    If Aleph and Beis testify that Gimmel murdered Daled, but then Hey and Vov testify that Aleph and Beis were with them elsewhere at the time they claimed to witness Gimmel murdering Daled.

    In order for Hey and Vov to save Gimmel, and instead Aleph and Beis are executed, does Hey and Vov’s testimony have to come BEFORE Gimmel was convicted or AFTER Gimmel was convicted (but obviously prior to execution)?

    If it is BEFORE conviction, what happens if they only make it to beis din AFTER conviction (i.e. they were coming from another city and arrived a little late)? Does Gimmel still get executed?

    And if the halacha is the new testimony must come AFTER conviction (but prior to execution), what happens if the new witnesses testify BEFORE conviction (i.e. while Gimmel is still on trial)?

    If memory serves me correctly, the testimony must come before conviction, otherwise the convict is executed even if additional witnesses testify the original witnesses were false.

    apy, same reason you can’t walk into a McDonalds, you can’t go into a non-kosher restaurant and sit down at a table with non kosher food. What did you think Maris Ayin was all about?

    Well apashutayid, there you proved it. Going into that non-kosher restaurant of your non Jewish colleagues “simcha” was Maris Ayin.

    Now we can understand one of the consequences.

    In fact, after they come to a wedding, are you going to go to a Christian or Muslim wedding? Or some religious milestone (i.e. baptism) they invite you to?

    Why get into this mess? Its messy both ways.

    How can you check if a driveway is legal or not?

    I assume it can be checked, since various posters are indicating they know certain driveways are illegal.

    Can an illegal driveway be halachicly reported to the city? If so, is 311 how it is reported?

    I believe the correct procedure is to get a cop to first ticket the car blocking your driveway (by calling the precinct?) and then having it towed.

    This entire thread in shtus. Look at the real data. Specifically the NYC Board of Election results for the districts in Williamsburgh and Borough Park, are Republican leaning districts. In fact the most Republican in the entire city, with the possible exception of some parts of Staten Island (the smallest borough.)

    Facts, people, facts.

    Minyan –

    The party’s full name is “The Conservative Party of Canada”. The other name you refer to, is an older party that was subsumed by this party.

    Your P.M.’s party is the party of the right in Canada, somewhat similar to the American Republican Party. The Canadian Conservatives, like the Republicans in the U.S., are much more pro-Israel than the Liberal Party of Canada.

    Kapusta – aries said as much that halacha is of little value compared to her feelings. And her open disdain for rabbonim shlit”a, which she doesn’t as much as even deny!

    Here is one (out of many) example quote of her attacks on our holy Torah:

    “Go pull out your seforim and look it up. It doesn’t hold a candle to the worst offenses like child molestation and abuse. So until you frumer than frum name names and lock them up those Rebbeshe culprits…” She is angrily yelling at a poster for having dared quoted our Seforim HaKedoshim saying that something shouldn’t be done.

    In another post she wrote (in response to someone citing Shulchan Aruch saying people shouldn’t do something): “This is not a halachik blog.” !! As in, don’t tell me halachas when it doesn’t comport with how I feel.

    To me Mesechtes Sanhedrin is an equally important part of Shas as Mesechtes Shabbos. For practical Hilchos Shabbos, there is Shulchan Aruch and Sh”ut.

    oomis – What Shulchan Aruch says (see above) is not a “geder” or opinion. It is Shulchan Aruch (and Rambam too).

    People – please don’t bother aries with halachic references or halachic stuff. It is of no interest to her. Feelings take precedence. If it makes one feel good, it is okay with her, even if against halacha.

    No, but there is a relationship to the statute of limitations. 🙂

    If memory serves me correctly, I believe the “statue of limitations” kicks in after conviction (and sentencing?). I forget what the time period is.

    Before conviction there is no statue of limitations, and the accused can be brought to trial for the crime any amount of period after is occurred.

    Look at Rabbi Yosef B. Soloveitchik’s book “Five Addresses”, p.33, where he calls Chareidim “our brethren”. Is your outrage equal against Rabbi Soloveitchik? Or is it limited to chareidim?

    No need to answer. It is the latter.
