    Sorry, bomb, I tried to be explicit but I believe it did not pass moderation.

    It must be really bad if it didn’t even pass moderation here.

    Thank you ICOT and Daniel. I’d like to avoid purchasing the expensive equipment if I can rent it. I’ll also investigate the tethering option.

    He should never have been put in elected office in the first place. That being said, he’ll probably have no problem staying in Congress, but his New York Mayoral ambitions have just gone into the ash-heap.

    twister: It is hardly inaccurate when Charlie literally admitted, ironically enough in the comment immediately preceding yours, stating “Yes” that his community indeed has women participating in the rabbinate. It is too bad for you that his comment didn’t appear before you submitted yours.

    If your father isn’t adamant that you shouldn’t wear it, then wear it, until you ask a shaila if kibbud av applies here.

    Daas Yochid:

    Pork is also enjoyable, hence the comparison. No belittlement.

    In fact, once when asked what he misses most since he became a BT, the response was pork.

    As I unequivocally and strongly stated a few minutes after this thread was opened:

    “No it is absolutely not permissible to use the internet while on the boss’ time.”

    Yes, the hard-line defenders of up-keeping the halachas as stated in Shulchan Aruch are as strong here as they were with walking behind women.

    If it is a halachic issue, most certainly a rov/posek.

    Ofcourse – I didn’t read Ms. Critique being upset with single girls marrying previously married guys. She was merely commenting that it is a real fact of life that often happens. There is no reason for you or anyone to be upset that girls willingly and happily marry previously married men. It is their free will and they are to be commended for it.

    DY – Of course if both parties are willing that can be done. But otherwise you can’t force the defendant to accept that solution you propose; he can refuse that and insist you bring him to a Beis Din of 3. (A Beis Din OTOH has the halachic right to summon him.)

    And if it is a small amount would you would pay the cost to initiate the Beis Din case, if was more than the disputed amount you are trying to recover? If not, what is your recourse?

    in reply to: Proper Etiquette or Against Halacha? #773673
    Pac-Man
    Member

    I asked a Godol and he assured me that the Gemora’s statement that a man should not follow a woman most certainly does apply to a situation where the woman walks through a doorway, as it is clearly the case that the Shulchan Aruch rules on.

    The Gemorah (Brachos 61a & Eiruvin 18b and see Rambam Hilchos Isuurei Bi’ah 21:22, Shulchan Aruch E.H. 21:1, Aruch Ha’shulchan E.H. 21:2, Otzer Haposkim 21:16:2, Sheilas Rav 1:16:4) states that if a man and woman simultaneously reach a narrow passageway the man should go first since it is improper for him to walk behind a woman. The Gemorah then adds that this Halacha applies even to a husband and wife, and Rashi (Eiruvin ibid. “afeilu”, and see Aruch Ha’shulchan ibid, Tzitz Eliezer 9:50, Divrei Yatziv E.H. 39, Sheilas Rav 1:16:5.) explains since it is unbecoming for a husband to walk behind his wife.

    The Histaklus B’halacha 4:16 specifically says one cannot walk on a bus behind a strange woman (i.e. not his wife). According to various psakim one cannot even sit behind a woman (Chut Shuni Tznius page 50 quoting the opinion of the Chazon Ish, see Oz Nedberu 10:28, Kovetz Halochos for The Summer page 52:footnote 18).

    And the reason I cited that al pi Torah you save a man’s life first, was to demonstrate that the goyish etiquette of “lady’s first” is Keneged HaTorah.

    Regarding what you found interesting, do I get a citation for your nitpicking notation? What, pray tell, did you read into that?

    Yeah, but for him to meet and socialize with you, an opposite gender, is much much worse than him going to your – oops – his daughter’s graduation.
