Is it ok to charge friends who come over to ask you questions in learning? After all, if I would be an accountant I would charge them.
We don’t know which animal is the biblical ???. There are many breeds from the sheep family, including Dall Sheep which run wild in Alaska and are hunted for food.
Is pleading ignorance of the law a valid defense?
Sometimes. If the law was a duty to act, and was not reasonably made available, then you can plead ignorance.
Make flyers advertising your services. Then ask them to help you find clients.
Update.
My brother pointed me to the P”MG 96:13 on the taz.
He says that charif does not make a pagum taste yummy.
Telling someone a secret and asking them not to tell anyone is asking that person to do what you can’t.
I like.
(Maybe there is a difference when it is something meaningful to you, but less so to that person.)
But doesn’t this just remind Hashem how hard it is?
I would make sure to empty out the saltwater and wash it well.
First, second.
Call both. its a race.
Wow. That is pretty close.
Now I understand.
This is a “our gedolim” and “your gedolim” issue.
You really don’t respect “our gedolim”, and think we don’t respect “your gedolim”.
Also, since you read the teshuva, you ought to know that the numbers he uses are 4-5 times of shishim ribo. that equals 2.4m-3m. The population of Brooklyn has always exceeded that.
bina:
I don’t think I understand that.
We should tell kids to behave better than normal because the torah teaches us to.
I feel like we’re telling kids to behave better than normal because we want people to think the torah teaches us to.
So, tell us how this happened according to you. Rav Moshe issued his first psak based on being tricked. Then, everybody who wanted the eruv responded, bringing 11 halachic arguments which he responded to in the second teshuva.
Did anyone suggest he was wrong on the facts? Maybe they didn’t feel like looking into it? Maybe he just stubbornly didn’t care?
Is that what you think?
Besides, why don’t you link us the place where he says there are 3 million people living in Brooklyn. Why do you keep asserting it instead of citing it?
By reading it only to argue with him, you do not give kavod.
By asserting that he issued a landmark psak without due regard for the facts, you are mevazeh him.
I am unfamiliar with the facts. However, I have enough confidence in Rav Moshe that he did not “shoot from the hip”, without looking into the facts.
People who claim things in the name of Rav Moshe and did not study his teshuvos are showing disrespect.
That sounds cute, but makes no sense.
I don’t know what question you are waiting for an answer on.
Respect? You don’t even know his teshuvos.
I’m not sure what my scholarship has to do with your lack of respect.
Of course we believe you. That is why it took 15 years after his death for anyone to figure it out.
Maybe you are missing a couple of steps. (and a lot of respect?)
Everyone: Look, it was a joke. Ok? It was the white house’s number. You don’t have to keep talking about this.
how often do you eat cholent?
Every time.
Why? What do you do with it?
When we went on class trips, we were told to behave so as to make a kiddush hashem.
Translation- We are really ill behaved, and the torah does not make us nice people. But we like to fool people into thinking the torah makes us good, so lets behave and they’ll think that.
At least that’s how I understood it. (And so would you if you heard some nun saying it in a Catholic school.)
This is fascinating. Now you think Rav Moshe was tricked by “askanim” and didn’t find out the basic facts before making a psak which he knew would severely inconvenience the largest frum population in the world.
And that nobody bothered to correct him, or he just blindly ignored them.
Yes, if that is who you think Rav Moshe was, then you should not listen to him.
However, that is not my Rav Moshe. And you should not think that.
But, out of curiosity, tell us about these “askanim”. Just what was motivating them to want there to be no eruv in Brooklyn?
Did they own real estate in queens?
You are going really far out here in your need to carry your tallis to shul. Why don’t you just bring it on friday and you can go back to respecting gedolim.
popa_bar_abba –
“What a great tone of debate.”
If you don’t live in Brooklyn, and don’t know who are the most important poskim in our neighborhood, stay out of the debate.
And an even better response.
Oh now I understand. Because you believe that this machlokas is different it must be different.
What a great tone of debate.
seahorse and happiest:
I think that is a great idea. And you can daven for each other without knowing each others names; G-d can figure out who you are.
TBT: (Often it’s not faith they’re strugling with as much as pain and hurt)
Popa agrees with TBT.
I don’t live in Brooklyn darling. The fact you need to call me dishonest says something about how you argue.
The fact is he is the greatest posek alive in America today. No posek in America is even in his league.
Okaaaaay. Now I really take you seriously.
I asked a chasidishe Rav who had ????? by R Moshe Zt”l a
???? re a/c or time clock 2 areas where R Moshe Zt”l was Machmir. Here is the gist of his answer “according to my logic it should not be a problem but R Moshe Zt”l would asser”
As exactly his response should be.
As exactly people’s response about the eruv is not.
In case you were wondering: Why is Popa being so negative and cynical on this thread?
I don’t see this issue as a regular ??????, with validity to both positions.
I don’t think this is a “ask your rav” issue.
I really think that nobody should be using this eruv.
If this was a machlokes among equals, or even among almost equals, it would be one thing.
If Rav Moshe’s psak was unsure, and just being machmir, that would be one thing.
That is not this situation.
If no one knows where the backup eiruv is, how do people (as described in the OP) rely on the backup eiruv, in areas that the main eiruv doesn’t cover — that the backup eiruv allegedly does cover?
I don’t expect anything more. I can’t imagine they are particularly concerned about carrying.
For the second time, does anyone know where the Boro Park Backup
Eruv is?
I am not going to help you be mechallell shabbos.
david99:
I was waiting for you to come by.
I have never even heard of either of those rabbonim, but I am sure they are very wise and know lots of torah.
They are not “the foremost rabbonim today” in America.
Anyone who wears a white shirt is trying to look like the yishmaelim.
A friend of mine had a date last night.
When the father opened the door, my friend said; “My name is Sir Tofes, I come, to take, the girl.”
The father just closed the door.
I guess not everybody knows the tape.
I hope you at least asked him to free pollard while you were on the phone.
This is kinda what married means to me…
Old
Yunchie
Taken
Everything she says sounds like his mother
Not that I think I give off that impression, but its closer to that end once theres a shaitle on her head..
Firstly, the last sentence is key here, “not that I think I give off that impression”.
Secondly, it just doesn’t work like that.
Jolly Rancher:
The easiest answer is that the type of guys that these girls are looking for happen to be the guys who do in fact generally wear white shirts.
I have heard that some to avoid the possible issue of Kares (for not bringing the Korbon Pesach) keep themselves some distance from Jerusalem on Erev Pesach.
That is not crazy.
I have heard that some, to make sure they are chayav kareis, make sure to go on the har habayis on erev pesach.
What about in the other Yeshivos in Europe? Mostly white?
No. Colored also.
ursula:
huh? Maybe she just didn’t want to wait while he picked up his wife.
s2021: Maybe a 40 year old single woman can also give rides to 16 year old guys. I don’t know. In any event, I don’t see why it is better if she is married.
So then you are already making judgments within orthodoxy.
Why are you surprised that I am also?
They wore colored button-up shirts in Shabodka?
Yes, look at the pictures.
Orthodox has no meaning.
Are you counting YCT?
Sac:
Sure, but don’t you completely agree with my assessment that yeshivos are a much better way to classify?
i need at least 2 valid reasons why we need to learn math
I don’t understand.
You don’t know why you are trying to learn it?
I certainly don’t.
For me, it was because I thought it would be good to graduate high school in case I ever wanted to go to college, and there was also a self esteem boost because I’m pretty good at it.
For you, it might be so that you aren’t embarrassed at not finishing high school, or so that your parents will be proud at graduation, or any of a million possible reasons.
(What I’m trying to say, is that you should stop putting the onus on other people to convince you, and just think about what benefit you might want which you can accomplish. Sorry for being harsh.)
