    And? I’m not sure why that should affect her.

    It affects his ability to hire her or allow her into the office with her hair uncovered. Since it is assur for him to see her hair, he can’t allow her into his office as such.

    But he has no heter to see her hair. It is still assur for him.

    OK. And?

    There is a conflict then between halacha and secular law (assuming your legal assertion is correct.)

    What do you do in such a situation? Break halacha or break secular law, if it comes down to one or the other.

    Your tefilos are more likely to be accepted when you daven with a minyan, than if you daven alone.

    The Midrash says Avraham Avinu viewing the stars from the back of the rakia.

    Chazal, and certainly the rishonim, recognize that the sun lights the moon.

    skiaddict’s story only indicated the protagonist calmed down an irate Arab who was railing against Jews. He wasn’t under assault, and didn’t save his own skin. Their goal, however much you disagree with their methodologies, is to save Torah Jews’ lives, not necessarily their own.

    They themselves live in Israel, so that characterization cannot be correct.

    Seriously, why do you think NK does it, if not to make a difference?

    Their own argument is that it ingratiates “Torah-True Judaism” with the Arab world, lessening their hatred of us. And can possibly save Jewish lives down the line. Obviously based on your above comments you disagree.

    It strengthens the arguments against us, since they can say that even some of our people are against us.

    And, again, how does that (assistance from NK) equal Jewish deaths?

    Let me rephrase: How does bad PR generated by NK = Jewish deaths?

    How do they “aid and abet our enemies in murdering us”? I understand they yank people’s chains, but that is quite over the top hyperbole.

    metrodriver: No. He is from the offshoot that the original group (R. Amram Blau zt’l) had nothing to do with. The original group (which still stands) was formed in the early 1900’s. NK was a split-off from Agudas Yisroel.

    The original NK are actually Talmidei HaGRA (i.e. Litvish) that came to Eretz Yisroel in the 1800’s. The group that gets all the attention is an offshoot of some of the original members relatives, but aren’t the original group.

    Is there any support for DDD, instead of halacha, in the Rishonim? I never saw any.

    Sam: If they agree beforehand, sure. That would be in accordance with S”A. But in the absence of a prior agreement, unless it is common business custom to follow a certain rule (in which case it again would be in accordance with S”A), I don’t see how DDD can take precedence over Shulchan Aruch. And issues between two private parties outside of a business setting would surely follow S”A.

    As far as Yerusha, what argument could anyone advance as to why halacha would be set aside? And this machlokes you reference, is it between Rishonim? Achronim? Others?

    Sam: In that case you can throw most of Choshen Mishpat out the window, since secular law addresses almost all monetary issues (differently).

    Even without names, what is the machlokes you speak of? What do they say?

    Sam: The dina d’maclchusa doesn’t shtim. Otherwise do we set Choshen Mishpat aside everytime secular law differs from Shulchan Aruch?
