    Whats your take on why people ( I mainly stress women here) are embarrassed to eat in public (and NOT FOR “TZNIUS” reasons)?

    Ex: A party, vort, Shmorg, wedding etc…??

    They should seek therapy.

    A. You have not read it. You are lying. I wouldn’t trust you with a wooden nickel. Your entire presence in this forum is sheker.

    B. Not Rabbi Miller again. Why must you sully his name?

    Pac-Man alias Pac/man alias Pac man alias joseph:

    You must be referring to the article where he clearly is making a limud zchus for people who don’t cover their hair, and not paskening that it is muttar.

    You obviously never read the article. Neither did I, but I have at least heard about it other than from other virulent diatribes on the internet.

    I don’t drive a mustang. I drive a 98 civic lx with a cracked bumper and a shmuz sticker.

    And you don’t drive a mustang, I’m gambling.

    File a Section 1983 claim. At least it’ll annoy him and end up on his record that he had a claim filed, even if you don’t survive summary judgment.

    But I think you would survive summary judgment since you are the witness, and if he did what you say he is liable, so it would need to go to a jury.

    Just do it yourself so you don’t have to pay a lawyer, because you probably won’t win.

    I go for lunch in treif restaurants every day with my non-jewish and non-observant colleagues. I drink soda, they eat pork.

    Today we went to chinese, and they ate sushi. It looked really good.

    On friday we went to a gyros place. It is pronounced yeeroes.

    Last tuesday we didn’t go.

    Last monday we went to a different chinese place.

    I can’t remember before then.

    If you are disciplining in public, it may be because they are embarrassing you.

    If that is the case, then you are not allowed to do it.

    I know of a situation where before a wedding, the chosson’s brother was carrying the ring, and walking around the hall, and wandered into the room where the kalla was doing pictures.

    So he held out the ring to the kalla and jokingly asked, “do you want this?” She said yes, so he gave it to her.

    The Rav was in the room, and paskened it was kiddushin, since he gave her a wedding ring, and she was wearing a wedding dress, in a wedding hall. So she needed a get.

    The problem was that even he gives a get, she will be an issur eishes ach to her chosson.

    So the chosson killed his brother and did yibum.

    It was in the NY times: http://tinyurl.com/43lq3pc

    They try to pasul the first marriage, relying on numerous sfekos, and some more radical reshaim (sic) might advocate being mafkia the original kiddushin based on the fiction

    Firstly, 23 is very old.

    Secondly, part of the story happened; everything except her response.

    Thirdly, the law student began the year irreligious and over this past year became involved with chabad.

    Fourthly, the med student is a really sweet nice frum guy, but the girl is looking for a learning guy, and he really is not.

    Fifthly, Baalsechel, I’m glad I got you posting, it looks like you are an old reader and an infrequent poster; but, I don’t make up stories to make people look bad, I make up stories because it makes me laugh.

    Sixthly, she didn’t say “heicha timtza”; she said the basic idea and I just paraphrased it. Notice I didn’t put her response in quotes.

    and be the battle queen of yore,

    Maryland! My Maryland!

    That is from the battle song of the Confederacy, and is still the Maryland state song. It is sung to the tune of “Oh Tannenbaum”, which you might know as “Oh xmas tree”.

    There is a statement that comes along with it. The word “stigma” bothered me.

    These often have less stigmas…

    Unfortunately, there is a negative connotation with the hat due to how some people who wear it act.

    Huh?

    You have a negative view of people because they wear a hat?

    She stopped practicing when she had kids, and doesn’t carry insurance anymore. But her license is still active because she likes to write prescriptions for antibiotics when any of us get a cold or sick or something.

    My sister is a psychiatrist. She’s an MD. So she could order it and my brother could supervise it and my sister in law could put it in since she’s the best at it.

    Yea, because if she got caught, she could go to jail for practicing medicine without a license, besides losing her nursing license.

    That’s ok. My brother is Hatzala, so he can do it. We just needed her to bring the equipment. Also, we figured she is probably better at it.

    About metzitza bpeh, mohelim in my circles generally use a pipette. But they do it to protect themselves.

    I don’t really know if there is any danger to metzitza bpeh. All I know is we did it for thousands of years, and it was certainly what G-d wanted us to be doing then. Perhaps now there are more diseases, or whatever. But I am leery about thinking of it as an arcane uncivilized practice.

    I have a similar question. I want to go to work after I learn for 10 years, but my father wants me to only learn my whole life.

    He says there is no mitzva to work, but there is a mitzva of kibud av. (Assume I will be supported somehow). What should I do?

    We talked about this a couple of weeks ago here: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/attempt-to-ban-bris-milah-in-san-francisco

    Here is the post I wrote there:

    If anyone wants to read about the legal issues, I found an article which seems to go through the issues pretty well.

    See Sarah E. Waldeck, Using Male Circumcision to Understand Social Norms as Multipliers, 72 U. Cin. L. Rev. 455, 515 (2003)

    The general rule is that “the Free Exercise Clause permits a law that burdens religion as long as the law is neutral, generally applicable, and is not passed to ban behavior solely because of its religious motivation.” The leading case on this is Oregon v. Smith, 494 U.S. 872 (1990).

    However, the Court also said there in dicta that when another constitutional claim besides for free exercise is also implicated, then there is an even stricter level of review. That would likely apply here, because of the due process claim.

    Also, there might be an issue here since it would practically make it impossible to live as a Jew or Moslem, like Pierce v. Society of Sisters, 268 U.S. 510 (1925), which struck down a law prohibiting parochial schools. Apparently, this makes it much harder, although I am not sure how.

    This article concludes that a law requiring anesthesia would probably stand, but not a law banning bris altogether.

    Yes. We ask for Hashem to return and also to rebuild.

    But that doesn’t mean that rebuilding without returning is something to celebrate.

    Ask yourself: Would you celebrate if the Turks had rebuilt it and not let us come? Why not? We ask for it to be rebuilt, where does it say anything about us returning.

    Maybe we can’t just darshen the bracha.
