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?
myfriendMemberWIY: Upper-mid’s or lower-mid’s?

A friend or bubba? Or a posek?
There is a reason why Yidden sit shiva when, Chas V’Challila, someone intermarries.

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.

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
myfriendMemberIf 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.
myfriendMemberaddicted – sac is anti-yeshivish, so she assigned that nice description to something she relates to better.
myfriendMemberIf you claim they are too frum, they’ll start redding you less frum people.
November 17, 2010 4:31 am at 4:31 am in reply to: Inviting Non-Jewish Co-Workers To A Simcha? #1143880myfriendMemberapy, 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?
myfriendMemberSay she’s way down on the list, and hope to get to her by the beginning of next year.
November 17, 2010 2:11 am at 2:11 am in reply to: Inviting Non-Jewish Co-Workers To A Simcha? #1143873myfriendMemberWell 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.
myfriendMemberSomeone who got mixed up along the way.
myfriendMemberHashem’s Son,

November 16, 2010 10:31 pm at 10:31 pm in reply to: Inviting Non-Jewish Co-Workers To A Simcha? #1143866myfriendMemberIn 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.
November 16, 2010 10:23 pm at 10:23 pm in reply to: Inviting Non-Jewish Co-Workers To A Simcha? #1143865myfriendMemberWhy mar a simcha with a nochri? Especially a bris! Are you going to go to their christening?
myfriendMemberShalosh Sedos requires washing hamotzi.
myfriendMemberMarried Officer’s Quarters
myfriendMemberWhat’s the procedure to check if a legal permit exists?
myfriendMemberHashem’s Son: What exact technical steps did you take to fix your screen name that changed, as you described in your “A Problem” thread?
myfriendMemberHow 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?
myfriendMemberI’ve seen them on the NYTimes site after elections. I’d have to research where to get the results now, since the Times took them down apparently.
myfriendMemberI’m glad you are starting to see the light. 🙂
Give it some more time, and you’ll come all the way around.
myfriendMembergaw: I’m not SW.
Willi, BP, and KJ have the largest concentration of Chasidim in the U.S.
myfriendMemberI 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.
myfriendMemberThis 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.
November 15, 2010 7:32 pm at 7:32 pm in reply to: CANADA stands up for Israel and fights Anti-semitism #709786myfriendMemberMinyan –
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.
myfriendMemberKapusta – 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.
myfriendMemberYours too.
myfriendMemberTo me Mesechtes Sanhedrin is an equally important part of Shas as Mesechtes Shabbos. For practical Hilchos Shabbos, there is Shulchan Aruch and Sh”ut.
November 15, 2010 4:05 am at 4:05 am in reply to: Fathers and brothers dancing with the Kallah #709289myfriendMemberoomis – What Shulchan Aruch says (see above) is not a “geder” or opinion. It is Shulchan Aruch (and Rambam too).
myfriendMemberaries2756:
This is an *Torah* Judaism site. You would be more comfortable bashing Rabbonim on a Reconstructionist Judaism site.
myfriendMemberHOW did you fix the problem?
November 15, 2010 3:25 am at 3:25 am in reply to: Fathers and brothers dancing with the Kallah #709285myfriendMemberPeople – 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.
myfriendMemberThere aries goes again being all judgmental on others. (Now shes judging those who read in shul…)
myfriendMembermetro – obviously you would never learn gemora; especially such esoteric gemorah’s that discuss stuff that are only applicable in the Holy Temple of 2,000 years ago.
myfriendMemberThere is a description how to change your password here:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/how-to-change-your-ywn-cr-password
myfriendMembercharlie – there is no motzi shem ra on a nochri.
myfriendMemberMoq, And I hope you will forgive me if I — amongst other left-wing/modern posters — might have offended you with some of our posts.
myfriendMembercantoresq – Find a new shul.
myfriendMemberNo, but there is a relationship to the statute of limitations. 🙂
myfriendMemberIf 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.
myfriendMemberchezky – read your comments above. YOU are the one who attacked Rabbi Soloveitchik by implication, with your false accusations about using the word brethren – something both Rabbi Soloveitchik and I did.
myfriendMemberchesedname: Those sources are talking if the person didn’t do teshuva; not if they did.
myfriendMemberOMG, Mazal Tov! She’s ‘the.nurse’!?! LOL@!
myfriendMemberIt works.
myfriendMemberLook 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.
myfriendMemberchezky – Moshiach isn’t here because your ilk take offense at anyone being a chareidi or thinking like a Jew. Not because of the nothing-wrong-with description you cite.
