Because the Halacha is to not make a wedding. It is not to not attend a wedding.
Joseph,
Who said there is any issue to attend a wedding during sefira? The issue is making a wedding, not attending.
From what I understand, on good authority, they have “Takana” packages. A good portion of the nights are available for very reasonably price chasunas.
I think Satmar hall in Monsey/ Spring Valley also has reasonably priced packages that met include some photography and music.

147,
I see you are consistent in that you would consume cookies with colors representative of ?????.
DY,
You are not understanding my question.
I do not see how the mechanism can actually do it. I am not asking halachacially, I am asking bimetzios. I am asking that if it works by the sensor sensing a pulse of light, that’s fine, the light goes on. What makes it go off? Moving the plastic in front off the sensor won’t work, because it is not a continuous beam of light, it was only intermittent. So most of the time there is no pulse of light, what is now going to make the light turn off when you move the plastic piece down again?
DY,
The sensor has to detect the pulse, which then causes the light to turn on. (or off)
But it is not a constant stream of light. If it were, it would be simple, block the light the switch does one operation, unblock the light, however this switch does something else.
The switch is supposed to be working with a random pulse of light. So the only thing that can activate the switch would be the light pulse hitting the sensor. Which can only happen after the plastic of the switch is moved. But by definition, it would seem that light NOT hitting the sensor cannot do anything because the light is not constantly being emitted. If it worked that way, the switch would then become like a blinker. It couldn’t even be set to change after a defined amount of time, because the emissions/pulses are supposed to be random. So it would seem that switch would only be able to effectuate one change over a Shabbos.
Joseph,
How does it work then?
I thought the idea was that there is a randomly emitted light emitted, not a constant light nor a light on a constant schedule. When you the switch, the eventual emitted light can be detected by the sensor and that is what either turns on or off the light.
Now that the switch is up, what is going to change that status? Doesn’t the light source continue to emit light sporadically? And the when you move the switch to the other position, how does that let the sensor know to change the status, presumably, as far as the sensor should know the fact that no light has hit it can either be a function of the sensor being blocked or just that the it has randomly not emitted.
Although I guess the sensor can be tied to the emitter that it is aware when the random emission is made and if it does not detect an emission that is made, the switch will then again change for on to off or vice versa.
That would seem to defeat the randomness to me.
I need something clarified, does the switch only allow one change over shabbos? Either from off to on or vice versa? Or can it be switched repeatedly on and off when in shabbos mode?
Because I don’t understand how it can work if it can be switched repeatedly.
It would not be muttar on Yom Tov since you are creating a new fire. Not lighting from an existing fire.
So apparently R Yair Hoffman read this thread to write his article.
ZD,
You really don’t have to bother them with the video. All you have to is ask them “Do you reccomend using the kosher switch as a lechatchila in a residential setting”.
If it seems that there rePonse is not in conformity with what you understood from the video, you can ask them that. If they question the video, I doubt they will fell it a bother that you bring it to their attention. Quite the contrary.
I would also note that there are parts of the promotional video that are at least slightly off-color. Not what you would anticipate or expect in a video that is supposed to promote the “kashrut” of this product.
ZD,
I don’t see how it is similar, at all, to a Kosher Lamp. You are not uncovering a light which is already lit and shining.
I saw what Rabbi Olebaum said, I would not call it an endorsement. He does not say that you are welcome to use it. He says ask your Rav. Very big difference.
“However, if they use them for Shabbat there is also a question of whether or not they are considered lechem mishna as they are not complete being that the keys pierced them. “
Did you come up with this on your own?
There is no question that the challos are considered ?????. None at all.
ZD
And many don’t. And many Africans don’t.
I know of Ganapathi, and Manpreet and Sharada, all Asian. All in professional positions.
Joseph,
If they are called by that name, yes. Coulld be ?????? or ??????. Depending on how the secular name is used.
None of those names are Jiddish either.
I would not give a Jiddish name, it sounds like a game from the Harry Potter series.
A Yiddish name, on the other hand sounds like it comes from Yid.
PBA,
I remember being at Mendelsohn’s on motzei Pesach and thinking the pizza is not Chometz. I clearly took less than 18 minutes to make.
ZD,
You really should pull your head out of the sand. If were not anti-semitism, the comments would be directed solely at the perpetrators. By dint of painting everyone one by the actions of a minute minority proves that they are using this as a convenient excuse for expressing their bigotry.
And it is not only non Jews or non Orthodox who do this.
“being veeeery meikel regarding the din of eid echad neeman, and giving people chezkas kashrus.”
What??
Cons – Should the unfortunate need for a get arise, they may have to figure out how to spell the “English” name in the get, certainly if it one of the non common names.
Is Chaim or Chaya harder to pronounce than many Asian names or African names?
Or Le-a, for that matter?
Cherrybim,
It does not mean that they don’t trust their Rav. It means their minhag is not to eat out the house on Pesach.
I heard the following directly from the person in the story.
He was a talmid of Rav Pam. He and other talmidim went to Rav Pam on pesach. He was offered something to eat, which he declined because his minhag was to not mish. He started getting ribbed for not eating in Rav Pam’s house. Rav Pam told the person to not chepper this bochur, his minhag is legitimate. He also offered a reason, that not eating chametz on pesach requires Mazel, your own Mazel you have no choice but to rely on, but why do you have to rely on other’s Mazel.
Charlie,
1) Thank you for proving my point so well about OO.
2) The ecoarification being made is that the law is being carried way too far, and that providing protection to groups that classify themselves solely by their perverted proclivities while at the same repressing the rights of actual legitimate groups/classes as defined by the framers of the constitution is obscene and perverted reasoning. Since perverted and obscene (yes the Torah calls it Toeivah, you don’t find thieves being considered a protected class) is the very definition of their class, it explains why they feel it is correct.
The stories you bring are actually proof that the law is being carried to far. That you are now relegating religious beliefs to the back off the bus by making people do things against their wishes.
Of course it was sarcasm. Sadly that is not the case. It should have very apparent from the rest of the comment.
Why all the excising that marriage may not be ossur between two non Jewish women or even men. Do you not really find the most radical pro LGBT rights are the reform and OO crowd?
Apparently it has been determined that the law in Indiana was only applying to two non-Jewish women marrying. Because it was poshut that if there were Jewish women or men involved they were never assumed to be protected by the law.
And we know that there are no irreligious Jewish men or women who are homosexual, correct? Because it seems that is the poiton that Sam & Simcha are taking.
Shmuely Yanklowitz would argue against this (whether there are Jewish homosexuals He clearly feels that they are a preferential class. But I am not sure that he would fall into the Jewish category, based on his own press release)
“What’s the Issur of a wedding?”
And now you know why OO is so dangerous, they have made it possible for someone to consider writing this on a Jewish website.
ZD,
I asked for a source. Can you please provide?
It too, is from the 3 chamuros.
Sam: “It’s not L’ha’avir Al Das.” Of course it is. Lehanoas Atzmon they could just be quiet. They are making themselves a protected class. They expect preferential treatment because of their perversion.
They want to change perverted way of life to preferred way of life. LA
ZD,
“Its probably ok to bake the cake for the toeivah marriage , It is probably not OK to bake a cake for for an Avodah Zarah event.”
Source?
And regardless, are you for or against the law in Indiana?
And you have to differentiate. The actual wedding by homosexuals are is the maaseh issur which the cake is. apparently, an intrinsic part. Like the communion wafers.
Sam2,
So you think the people who are complaining against the law are only two women who wish to get married? (And I don’t know why you take it as pashtus that there is no issur for two women as well, even if it is not the same level) But if it were two men getting married with the intention of “consummating” then the protesters would be ok with the law in Indiana?
ZD,
So your question is based on suppositions?
I don’t think its a question that you cannot help with the parts that would be avodah Zara.
You haven’t said why it should be mutar to assist in gay marriage.
Less,
I insulted you? I just said thata your question does not warrant an answer.
Nothing you’ve said has changed that.
The issue is not doing business with a gay person. The concern is that you are assisting them in doing something that is completely against halacha.
ZD,
There is nothing against ???? For Hindus to get married. Contrary to what you asserted above, Gay marriage is against halacha.
ZD,
“The Toeiva is not against Halacha,”
It’s not?
ROB,
I am not going to argue with you bout facts. Facts that I have observed with my own eyes.
ROB,
Bringing in water and strawberries just deflates your whole argument.
Everyone holds that eating bugs is ossur.
ZD,
So?
Less,
You should not be the one asking the question. And it does not warrant a response because it is only lekantar.
ZD,
You will notice that I said “to some extent”. Quinoa is not grown only in Peru. They checked out a specific production in Peru.
In addition, it is generally described (from Wikipedia) as “a grain crop grown primarily for its edible seeds”. Which also explains why there are poskim who say that the original minhag of kitniyos extends to quinoa as well. Which would not extend to potatoes.
ZD,
It’s not harder to get non kitniyos in Israel than in US. However, there are many additional products for pesach that are ktniyos.
The other issue with kitniyos is that they were grown near grain crops and that the individual items would sometimes get mixed up.
That applies to quinoa to some extent as I understand, it does not apply to potatoes.
So as far as quinoa, ask your CLOR.
As far as saying the minhag should be abolished, the people who wish so, want to do so just to show that they can overturn a centuries old hangagah at their whom and not for any neccesity. There does not seem to be any pressing society need to change the minhag. There are way more options today for food than there ever has been.
Thank you, thank you for your wording and tone. Thank you.
A gross intentional misrepresentation of OO, if I’ve ever seen one. It’s about as accurate as saying that the reform just feel that minhagim are non binding.
Well put LF
I am tired of having to scan through your posts and edit them for comments that are even more contrary to Halacha than those which irk you so.
Charlie,
Are you intimating that they spoke to you about her condition? That would be highly unethical and probably illegal.
I suspect that those who are insistent that the message is about smoke detectors are likely saying, we have a smoke detector, there is no message for us.
I don’t think there is anyone who does not think that there is a message that each person can take from this message.
“Yes one should realize hashem is in charge, however one is forbidden from standing in the middle of the BQE and saying hashem is in charge and will protect me from harm.”
You realize that this is an inane comparison.
No sane person would consider living in a house without enough smoke detectors the same as standing in the middle of a highway. It is not even similar to driving in a car without wearing a seatbelt.
A more apt comparison would be sitting in a backseat with out a seatbelt and then being hit by a drunk driver.
While it is a good idea and also something one should also use this as a reminder about smoke detectors, it is surely not the main message being presented to us.
And one does not have to be Da’as Torah to undesstand that, they just have to have a little Da’as and some basic emunah to see it.
What is also interesting to note is that in the listing immediately before the one referenced by DY, there is a pdf of their certifications on Dow Corning oils.
There are two certifications, both allegedly by R David Saffra. The signatures are clearly from different people.
Just saying.
“Smallpox was the greatest killer of all time, not the Plague”
So the plague did not kill many people?
Even your first comment is not quite true either, because while smallpox killed more people, the plague killed a greater percentage of world population during those epidemics.
And I suspect that heart disease has killed more people than both smallpox or the plague.
147,
This case has nothing to do with ???? ??????.
Goq: The Shadow do.
My favorite was the Bickersons.
???? ????? ???? ?? ????? is not a new concept.
People who learn the ????? of the ??? ???? are the ones who have the greatest appreciation of what he was and therefore are enthralled to see a living image of such greatness. I doubt seeing the clip will make one appreciate the seforim more, but the converse is definitely true.
