Ok, I googled that article, and that article says Rav Elyashiv passuls the get. It is probably not lying–but does anyone have a primary source?
This really becomes a fascinating problem then, since here is the issue:
If we had a sanhedrin, we could just pasken the shaila.
Usually today, we have machlokes, and just have different minhagim.
But here, we obviously can’t have different minhagim, because we will be like beis hillel and beis shammai not marrying the mamzerim or pegumim from each others families. We don’t want that.
But that means that any group can effectively impose its will on the rest of us, by being machmir on gittin. In this situations, it is (apparently) Rav Elyashiv, but what if next time it is Popa?
Sam: again, I’m unfamiliar with the issues. But I know my rav defers to rav elyashiv.
Also, I don’t think I have to be concerned shelo l’hotzi laaz, if there are poskim who are holding l’maasa that it is passul
I just make one up each time.
I think I would sign one if my wife insisted. I figure that if we get divorced, it will be her problem anyway.
I probably would not marry a woman who was divorced and had had one, unless she indemnified the ex-husband from all rights under it and got a new get. I don’t even know that anyone says it is get meusah except from the comments here, but I don’t wanna take chances. Because that will be on MY kids head.
Hmmm. I was aware my rebbeim said to not use it, but I don’t recall that they were concerned it was get meusah. Does anyone have a source for that?
PBA – “you shall not oppress the stranger, for you were once strangers in the land of Egypt.”
I read that as an instruction on how to treat strangers, including converts. I’m not aware that anyone reads it as an obligation to convert people.
Feif: yes, I thought we were talking about the possibility of doing a valid geirus with the RCA. We’re on the same page now.
They required a lot of petitions. But there is no way that the petitions were actually each from a separate person, and all eligible to vote.
Why is the RCA off limits to you?
There is nobody whose name starts between P (Perlow) and S (Schachter)
BTguy: what do you mean? How is not accepting geirim against the torah?
It seems like you ideologically align with certain groups within modern orthodoxy. So why would you want to join the sephardic communities anyway?
I’m confused. The other thread seemed like you were already megayer. Is the problem that you were megayer, and the sfardi community will not accept you?
When I saw it was zeeskite, I started doubting it was really closed.
Ok, we all know the facts: MO and some others have endorsed them strongly; yeshivish have told their talmidim to not use them. Let’s talk about more interesting things, like what they are intended to do.
Has anyone read it? I skimmed theough a while ago. I’ll try and go over it again so this can be more fun.
Why are “sides” calling off a shidduch, instead of the bride and groom?
My rebbeim told us not to use them. So we don’t. Otherwise, I dunno much about them.
I do particularly enjoy the way MO rabbis get themselves all in a tizzy about it. I actually once saw an article by a rabbi who takes himself seriously, suggesting that people should refuse to attend a wedding where they aren’t using a prenup.
Imagine that. For all he accuses us of imposing chumros on others, this guy wants to impose that nobody can go to a wedding where they don’t do it the way HE thinks it should be done. Nice.
Will the BBQ be kosher?
Why don’t they have a navy chaplain on the boats?
I went to a cooking class last night. We made ravioli.
I couldn’t eat it bec it wasn’t kosher. Even according to yitayningwut. (It was bishul akum, and had gvinas akum in it).
I just made them-i didn’t cook them. The akum boiled them and then fried them in some butter.
We also were able to make mozzarella cheese, gnocchhi, and tiramisu.
To (not) answer your question, I don’t know any kosher baking schools, but there is a kosher culinary school in crown heights or somewhere. You can also go to a non kosher one, with certain restrictions. But for a baking school it should be easier.
Popa thinks that sounds idiotic. Yet, we know that there is a placebo effect. So maybe it only works for idiots who will believe it.
But, I’ve never read the book, so I should really see the context.
What we can expect is a very different question. I don’t presume to know what G-d expects, and it is logical that there is less of a tayna on a woman who grew up in america versus a woman who grew up frum (or maybe moslem).
But, that doesn’t mean what they are doing is not inherently wrong, and doesn’t mean that a person who had a neutral perspective would not be able t realize it.
Sam,
I don’t know about that. I would say that if a shiksa wears a short sleeved shirt, it means she does not have the proper sensitivity for tznius.
Well, what would you call milk that comes from a treifah? ??? ?????. That seems close enough to call it “treif” in the vernacular, seeing as an animal also cannot be “treif”, it can be a “treifah”.
