The ??? ??? on ????? ?? says that the animals which have only one sign of kashrus are actually worse than the animals which have none.
He says that their one sign actually adds tumaa, since they now have the extra element of not being ???? ????.
???.
He also references the midrash about esav that he was like the pig who shows himself as if he is tahor.
He concludes that people who show themselves as tzadikim when they are not are worse than a rasha gamur.
So I think I’m going to have to side with BS that it is a bad thing. I’m not exactly sure how this impacts specific behaviors which we are talking about.

As far as I am concerned, they own the country.
William the conqueror conquered it, which makes it his. He allowed his soldiers, and some other people to live there, and allowed his officers to own land.
I don’t know enough history to know how it got to the current kings, but it was probably some sort of inheritances and conquerings.

What doesn’t he know? We all know what the environment in an accounting firm is. And besides, it would be crazy to show up for an interview at starbucks unshaven.
He should either allow you to shave or not, depending on what he thinks the halacha is.
I would shave.
knish is also the author of OVER ONE MILLION FRUM JEWS IN NEW YORK, which leads me to believe he is some sort of troll.
another person i know who is a size 2 already, who is not anorexic, non-stops talks about how she’s been bad with her eating and how much she has to exercise, for as she’s getting older, she’s getting a little heavier. (as stated before, she’s still a size 2!)
What makes you call that not anorexic?
Ok, I hear.
bina:
Also, if a boy wrote in complaining he was too skinny, you wouldn’t advise him to put on a few pounds?
bina:
For that reason, I didn’t mention that for the first 150 posts. This thread is now up to 168; I figure after 168 posts, the thread is allowed to sidetrack.
Ok, so when do you listen to the rabbonim? Only when you are satisfied that all the facts are correct?
Do you think they all are dundering fools and always get the facts wrong?
It is one thing to say it about one rav and one shaala, but you are saying it about most of the rabbonim in New York, and then you extend it to other cities also.
And doesn’t that basically give you carte blanche to ignore them whenever you want?
I am referring to the West Rogers Park Eruv.
I don’t usually try to ridicule people on this forum, but you have never spoken respectfully to any poster who has disagreed with you.
You clearly know nothing about the chicago eruvin. You made a sweeping statement without even knowing which neighborhoods were the issue.
david99:
I have a question for you.
You think that the opposition to the brooklyn eruv is really just a conspiracy, aided and abetted by most of the rabbonim in new york.
You state “the chicago eruv is a fine eruv”, against the psak barur of the major dayanim and roshei yeshiva of chicago. (I assume you are also referring to the peterson park eruv, which is the controversial one.) You probably think that is a conspiracy as well.
If the vast majority of rabbonim are engaged in these vast conspiracies, why do you trust any of them?
Do you?
Do you just follow your own way in the world? Or maybe just rabbonim who hold of eruvin that you like?
It’s easier to go down a hill than up, and there is usually more food and water on the bottom than on top.
Obviously not MO, however. But I forget that in some people’s world, they don’t count. 🙂
It depends who, and it depends how broad a consensus they are bucking.
Besides, I’m not aware that the major rabbonim of Modern orthodoxy in the 70’s were in favor of the eruv. (like the Rav for example). If it was the entire torah jewry against a few MO rabbis, I think I would say they don’t change the situation.
“MO rabbis” are a broad spectrum. There are real talmidei chachamim, who are really yarei shamoyim, on one end, and there are some pretty dubious characters on the other end.
Sure, not everyone. But it seems an overwhelming majority of rabbonim, spanning litvish, chassidish, and much in between.
The 2000 eruv, which I know little about, seems to be chassidish from what david99 says, and on that I point out that it took them 15 years after his death to do it.
Even david99 doesn’t seem to support the 1979 eruv.
That is why I said “currently championed”.
Wolf:
I think HIE is correct, that the psak was accepted by the vast majority of rabbonim and people.
I don’t have any empirical evidence to back this up, and of course HIE doesn’t either.
But we know it is true.
How do I know? All my rebbeim have said so. I trust them. Would you trust them? I think so, but I’m not naming them.
It also is evident. The eruv which is currently championed was not constructed for 15 years after his death. There was always a great need for an eruv, but it was commonly recognized among the yeshiva orthodox (made up term), that it simply could and should not be done.
I don’t expect this to convince anyone, since I am not presenting any evidence. But for me, it’s good enough to criticize anyone who uses or allows the eruv.
Suppose you dye the whole beged with the techeiles. Do you still need to dye the string?
could you give some examples?
Well, a very basic question, without knowing anything about the issue, is that they cannot both be tcheiles. So each party clearly holds the other is in error.
That shows a level of am ha’artzus that I can only see coming from a yeshiva bochur.
Itche: That’s a little harsh, don’t you think?
Here’s my take:
If there is a criticism, it is on the parents, not the guy. A guy who wants to learn, needs to either stay single, get his parents to agree to support him, or marry someone who can support him. Presuming we are talking where the guys parents don’t want to support, his only choice to get married is to find someone who will support him.
As far as the parents, I still think the criticism is better, but still not as bad as it seems.
There is a presumption that the girls parents are more responsible for support. I would imagine that stems from the notion that support is instead of the wife working.
However, the wife working really is not enough income for real long term learning, and there really is no logical reason for the burden to fall on one side over the other.
Bottom line: Don’t like it, marry a working guy.
I’m not saying that either.
And I’m not making arguments. I’m stating an observation of fact which is supported by scientists in this field.
I’m not really sure where I was unclear. I don’t have anything to add to what I said before.
I’m not saying this has anything to do with society. It has to do with what is healthy in a particular part of the world. This is built into people, just as it is built into all creatures.
No, that is not what I’m saying. It has nothing to do with insecurity.
Pet peeve:
??? ?????? ????.
A. Men are attracted to health, but not to objective health. If we were attracted to objective health, then you would find the same standards across cultures. Rather, men are attracted to the general things which are healthy in each society. In out society, obesity is a greater concern than malnutrition.
B. Girls don’t develop eating disorders to get dates. They develop them because of poor self image, most often caused by their parents not accepting them as individuals, but imposing standards on them. (Like imagine a mother telling a daughter that she needs to be thin for shidduchim. The problem is the mother, not the shidduchim.)
Men are attracted to health. That is why in societies where there is not enough food, they are attracted to heavier women, and in societies where there is a lot of food, they are attracted to lighter women.
Women are attracted to good providers. That is why they look for physical strength, height, and money.
I don’t think attraction is subjective.
If it was subjective, then we wouldn’t find so many people looking for the same features. Beauty is indeed, not in the eye of the beholder.
Pumper: Do you really mistrust anything that comes from a “goyish psychologist”?
mischiefmaker: I agree. I just wanted to point out that the schools try to make them all the same.
Well, people in the same circles often have the same or similarly holding rabbis.
Yes. There is.
I realized that.
My question really was what you consider to be a significant percentage.
If it is 5%? 15%? 25%?
What is your threshold?
In any event, in my circles, it is 0%
I have seen people wearing it occasionally.
I don’t think it would qualify as a revolution, because the percentage seems to be relatively static. After some 100 years of knowing about these things, the amount of people using them does not seem to be growing. At least to me.
Negligible in what context.
Large? Larger than what?
I just read an article about this on Psychology today’s website. It was called “The truth about beauty”.
I am not posting a link, since the images on the story are pretty bad.
But, it was written by a woman for a women audience, so the women here may want to take a look.
I just set my standards really high, so that I could “settle” for my dream.
Everyone is different and not all B.Y. girls are the same.
Of course they are all the same. The whole purpose of BY is to make them all the same.
That is why they must all wear the exact same clothes. Uniforms are to make people uniform.
I have heard this same complaint from a famous company which offers a longtime guarantee on its products
Well, if they offer a lifetime guarantee, they should not be complaining.
I have no good response. If true, this is very sad.
Is it just me or does every religious custom somehow just end up as an excuse to get drunk?
It is just you. You should stop drinking so much.
Drinking is not good for you liver, marriage, job, and car.
It is a minhag because when they went out of mitzrayim,, they were rushed and confused. So we want to mimic the confusion.
My brothers did not marry a size 2
Of course not. Size 4. We wouldn’t want to be too into externals.
Really. It is not the mother’s fault. This is coming straight from the guys.
Ask your brother. (Blast that! Ask your father!)
bina: I said on that thread that my hashkafa is also what I believe.
My stories are made up.
Mods, please adjust my subtitle
Nah, I think it is the guys, not the mothers, not the shadchanim.
The mothers are the ones making big deals about everything else.
I don’t know.
I like the new subtitle.
It puts everything upfront.
But, now people don’t know I might be over the top. Hmmm.
42- I’m guessing this was you, since you just posted.
like a piece of machinery
You mean because I said “backfires”? I wasn’t talking about a car engine.
I’ll assume you are really referring to our ongoing discussion about weight, and not my comments on this particular thread. You will notice I have been highly restrained. Probably because this thread started as a discussion of the feelings of women in this situation.
Sac: That is hardly the most insensitive thing I have said.
In fact, that was hardly insensitive at all.
Ooof is a sound you make when you are hit.
