But when cookies went to the shiur, the lady she met earlier was in fact the speaker. I guess his story wasn’t your sister and niece after all.
PeacemakerMemberBecause they’re much faster.
PeacemakerMemberIf you live in a place where it is customary to have more than one, then you wouldn’t need the firsts permission? And in places where you do need her permission, if you have two do you need both of their permissions to take a third?

Even HaEzer 76:7
It starts out by saying that a man is technically allowed to marry as many as he wants, assuming that he can support them in all ways. But it ends off by saying that the Sages commanded at most 4.
Based on Yevamot 44a.

Didn’t want to get off topic there MDG, but I was wondering who does this Shulchan Aruch apply to?
August 3, 2011 6:42 pm at 6:42 pm in reply to: Using children to collect charity for organizations or families! #793662PeacemakerMemberWhat does “want them to be fundraisers” mean. It’s a mitzvah to raise funds for the needy and less fortunate.
PeacemakerMemberHuh, fleishigs is less expensive than milichegs??
August 3, 2011 6:02 pm at 6:02 pm in reply to: Texting on Shabbos could be worse than murder #794066PeacemakerMemberBeing mechallel Shabbos is incomparably worse than drinking.
August 3, 2011 6:00 pm at 6:00 pm in reply to: Using children to collect charity for organizations or families! #793659PeacemakerMemberYou are teaching them to raise funds for the needy and less fortunate by collecting tzedakah on their behalf.
August 3, 2011 5:36 pm at 5:36 pm in reply to: Using children to collect charity for organizations or families! #793657PeacemakerMemberIt’s chinuch for raising (and giving) tzedakah for others.
August 3, 2011 5:09 pm at 5:09 pm in reply to: How Often Do You Post "How Often Do You…" Threads In The Coffeeroom? #793563PeacemakerMemberI guess its gone and that’s just too bad because I wanted to post that in the summer I go swimming every day, so I don’t need to shower.
PeacemakerMemberSo does the Beis Din rule Dorothy must be beheaded for murder?
All Ayes and Nays now please.
PeacemakerMemberOne needn’t be the best learner to stay in long term kollel. All that’s needed is a desire and effort. He is just as qualified and worthy of being paid as a quick learner that knows everything by putting in the same effort.
August 3, 2011 4:59 pm at 4:59 pm in reply to: Texting on Shabbos could be worse than murder #794062PeacemakerMemberMechallel Shabbos is 100X worse.
PeacemakerMemberThe Wizard left Oz.
Also, Dorothy did her killing in Oz.
Two important factors.
August 3, 2011 4:57 pm at 4:57 pm in reply to: Using children to collect charity for organizations or families! #793652PeacemakerMemberWhen the parents and yeshivos send the children to collect tzedakah, it is the best possible chinunch. That’s why they do it.
PeacemakerMemberWhat ever happened to love on first sight?
August 3, 2011 4:54 pm at 4:54 pm in reply to: How Often Do You Post "How Often Do You…" Threads In The Coffeeroom? #793562PeacemakerMemberWhere is the shower thread? (And the other how often ones.)
August 3, 2011 3:48 pm at 3:48 pm in reply to: Texting on Shabbos could be worse than murder #794060PeacemakerMemberThat guy wasn’t even drinking in the story you linked to! Nor was it Shabbos!
August 3, 2011 3:47 pm at 3:47 pm in reply to: Texting on Shabbos could be worse than murder #794059PeacemakerMemberDrinking on Shabbos and driving too? Then he is still a mechallel Shabbos.
PeacemakerMemberWhere does Shulchan Aruch say the the most wives at one time is 4?
August 3, 2011 3:37 pm at 3:37 pm in reply to: Texting on Shabbos could be worse than murder #794057PeacemakerMemberAbsolutely! Better drink than be mechallel Shabbos. How could it even be a question?!
PeacemakerMemberThe Evil Witch of the East is an accidental murder victim?!
ROTFL!!
August 3, 2011 3:23 pm at 3:23 pm in reply to: Texting on Shabbos could be worse than murder #794055PeacemakerMemberBeing m’challel Shabbos bfarhesya is not the most important issue!?!?!?!
Woe, for how low we have fallen!
PeacemakerMemberWhat does this have to do with the Wizard of Oz?
PeacemakerMemberSure it’s realistic to stay at home. Most of us do it.
August 3, 2011 2:28 pm at 2:28 pm in reply to: Using children to collect charity for organizations or families! #793645PeacemakerMemberYes, absolutely, it trains our tinokos shel beis raban in the heilige mitzvah of ?????. See Mishneh Torah, Hilchos Matanos Aniyim. There can be no better lesson than having our precious children collecting ????? for the needy and less fortunate. This lesson lasts a lifetime. Which is why parents, mechanchim, and Yeshivos send out our children to collect. May it continue until all the poor in Klal Yisroel become wealthy Bimhera Byomeinu Amen.
PeacemakerMemberYou don’t have to do anything or certify anywhere to become a shadchan. You simply pick up the phone and start redting shidduchim. No barriers of entry, but lots of mitzvos.
PeacemakerMemberNever a good idea for a man and woman to work together alone. (Aside from the yichud issues.)
PeacemakerMemberIn our circles most wives are homemakers or work only at home.
August 3, 2011 1:27 pm at 1:27 pm in reply to: Driving Vacation from Catskills with Children #793974PeacemakerMemberYou get a better price by reserving a hotel before going on the trip.
PeacemakerMemberAre these dinim regarding a kanai in force today?
PeacemakerMemberNo. Not as many as Brooklyn. But isn’t it getting more crowded? I keep hearing people complaining it’s getting more crowded.
PeacemakerMemberThere are not that many people in Monsey?? News to me!
PeacemakerMemberIn Flatbush there are driveways and front grass.
PeacemakerMemberaries2756: You’re numbers of false accusations are way off. Exactly what is your source for them? False reports are by far a larger percent of reports then you acknowledge. Additionally, that is only reports proven false. There are many more false reports where the victim (the victim is the person *accused* of molestation) is never proven and some even sit in prison falsely as a result of false accusations — whether while awaiting trial that ultimately acquits them or even falsely convicted and sometimes only years later is their innocence proven after they sat in prison for who knows how long, while others innocence are never acknowledged. All the while these victims reputation is destroyed, they are looked at as molesters by community members, they lose their job and friends.
And, no, even allowing ONE victim of a false accusation to be hung is unacceptable. Halacha prefers that guilty people be let go unfairly rather than an innocent person be punished unfairly, when that is the risk/trade-off.
PeacemakerMemberWhat’s the halachic (or minhug/hanhaga?) difference between wearing wool vs. cotton tzitzis?
PeacemakerMemberhello99: You earlier wrote that Shulchan Aruch paskens like Rambam, not Rashi. Also, if you are going to be extra machmir and pasken like Rashi, then you would have to assur any non-leather footwear where you don’t feel the ground, including sneakers, etc. What *could* you then wear?
PeacemakerMemberThere was a recent case (about a year or so ago) in Maryland, near Washington, of a teenager accusing her school sports coach of abuse. The DA prosecuted him and when it turned out that the girl had an ulterior motive where she was trying to hit at the coach and the accusation was a complete fabrication, the jury acquitted the coach.
The acquittal and proof of innocence unfortunately only came after the coach lost his job, reputation, and became known in the community as an abuser. Many times they are actually convicted and the innocence of the accused only comes out later after he is in prison for some time. In this case the only reason they were able to convince the jury to acquit, was because the girl confided in someone that she made up the story.
PeacemakerMemberIn principle I agree with you The last Rebel, but there are exceptions. For example: If you tell your mother that your mother-in-law is a real witch, you should probably hide that comment and thought from your wife.
July 25, 2011 3:59 am at 3:59 am in reply to: DIVORCE CRISIS – young couples getting divorced #1200101PeacemakerMemberI learnt and am very close to a rov deeply involved in these inyunim (a lot more than you and I) for many years, and this is what he told me.
July 25, 2011 3:03 am at 3:03 am in reply to: DIVORCE CRISIS – young couples getting divorced #1200099PeacemakerMemberMany people who say that are probably guilty themselves of doing just that, hence their guilty conscience. It’s sad when someone knows quite a few cases altogether; it should be rare in the first place. That having been said, what I related earlier is what most rabbonim dealing with inyunei gitten will probably relate to you.
July 24, 2011 11:36 pm at 11:36 pm in reply to: DIVORCE CRISIS – young couples getting divorced #1200097PeacemakerMemberOften he is responsible for the process.
July 24, 2011 10:38 pm at 10:38 pm in reply to: DIVORCE CRISIS – young couples getting divorced #1200095PeacemakerMemberI disagree. There are a lot of cases where someone mixed in to push one of the spouses to unnecessarily go for a divorce.
July 24, 2011 10:26 pm at 10:26 pm in reply to: DIVORCE CRISIS – young couples getting divorced #1200093PeacemakerMemberIf an external force (parent, friend, therapists, etc.) in dreying in and counseling for divorce, it certainly can cause an unnecessary divorce and frequently that is precisely what occurs.
PeacemakerMemberhello99: Isn’t there a difference in how crocs are used (in the sense of causal-wear vs. daily-wear) between Eretz Yisroel and America that would affect the applicability of the psak?
PeacemakerMemberWhether a situation reaches the threshold of ragalayim l’davar is a critical halachic issue that only a posek can determine if the halachic threshold is met.
PeacemakerMemberAre the LDS records available via the internet?
PeacemakerMemberWhy would you purposefully change your personal email account password just so your spouse doesn’t have access to it??
PeacemakerMemberHalacha doesn’t change when the state legislature makes a mandated reporter. That being said, there is no conflict anyways between the halacha (as paskened by Rav Elyashiv) and state law in New York.
