Pac-Man

correction: As AZ noted, those are the cold, hard, sad facts. Do you want him to lie?

At least they’re working on it being fixed for future generations, even though there is nothing to do about it to fully help the current generation (and perhaps not the next one too – if the close-in-age solution doesn’t fully take effect fast enough.)

Dr. P. –

It seems you just restated your disagreement (on methods not numbers) without providing an even general alternative. You’re saying something’s got to be done, and even something you don’t agree with is better than nothing. Understood. But in your ideal opinion (even understanding that you would agree to go along with a less than idea solution rather than arguing), what would be the most effective solution if you had a choice – and no one would argue with you?

So someone who never got married had been decreed 40 days before yitziras havlad that he/she will never get married?

AZ spoke to the Gedolim about the age gap. So perhaps he can enlighten us as to what to do about the girls who will never be able to get married since the current generation no longer has enough bachelors for them all.

Why the uncertainty?

Ron: You have something against Mod-105?

I think that’s the first time I heard you scream adorable. You usually have such a soft sweet voice.

How do you refer to your parents and to your in-laws when speaking to your spouse?

The Gemorah in Shabbos 62b says that a reason for the destruction of the Beis Hamikdash was women used excessive cosmetics, and that a women should care about her appearance for the purposes of not being repulsive to her husband.

In the Shevet HaLevi there is a responsa about a woman who dressed herself nicely and put on makeup only when she was going out of the house, where she would be seen by her friends and neighbors. This is when she cared to appear attractive. However, in her own house, she did not care to enhance her natural appearance. Was this conduct acceptable, or did it indicate some degree of a breach in the standards of tznius? The answer given was that although we find in the Gemarah that Chazal emphasized that a woman should care about her appearance, this is specifically in terms of not being repulsive in front of her husband. If a woman puts a great effort into being noticed by strangers, this is reminiscent of the sins of the daughters of Yerushalayim at the time of the destruction.

I believe Doc mentioned Pfeffer was his family pre-immigration name.

Have you looked for them?

zees maamin, daas, goq thanx for your support

our styles r so differant i dont know how they could make that mistake..

Gavra: The Rov never said that and the only uproar was what was manafactured by Torah hating bloggers.

1st timer: There is no such premise. These stores are not catering to kosher customers and make no commitment that the fruit is kosher.

Yes he would, if a health inspection would occur when that happend and he was caught doing that, the store would receive a heavy fine

Health inspectors can’t and don’t do surprise visitis (like Kashrus supervisors) that will burst into the room and catch him red-handed using the fruit knife to cut his bacon sandwich. He will have at least a few minutes, if not days, advance notice before the health inspector comes to the back of the store where he keeps the bacon.

Secondly, there is no law against using the same knife for fruits and bacon or cheesecake.

WHAT Gavra!? You’re borrowing Wolf’s Eeees!?!

In the real world an issue far far worse and far far more prevalent than chumra creep, is kula creep. It is a lot more fun and a lot easier to take unrealistic leniencies (kulas) that seem to make your life easier than to take upon unrealistic stringencies.

It’s true. Many people CAN determine guilt by looking at the defendant. They may be wrong, but at least they think so. I think they should honestly let the judge know their perceived abilities.

It’s 1492. A new law is passed in Spain. All must bow to the cross. Dina D’malchusa Dina. It’s the law of the land. Homeowner knowing not to C”V make a public Chillul Hashem in front of the head inquisitor and all the goyim, dutifully fulfills his duty as stipulated by the law he was sworn to uphold in his bar exam. He even saved a life by so doing. What a Kiddush Shem Shmayim!

charlie: Did you ask this shaila to the Rabbi (Avi Weiss) where you pray?

Specifically why is there a concern bpt?

gavra paskened it’s okay to shop around for rabbis by the shaila. 🙂

A person (man and woman) SHOULD be embarrassed to eat in public.

But the assumption was frum rather than obviously frei?

If there is a prob, should we be walking round with tichels all day?

That’s not a bad idea.
