Don’t feel bad. Wolves drink water, and they’re pretty fierce.
On the other hand, do you chase down moose and eat them off the carcass? Because if you don’t, you may need to at least drink bourbon.
Well, if you hadn’t faked you identity, I’m gandering you’d be good and insulting.
Try a rye.
Please call a Rav.
I won a 10 speed bicycle in 4th grade. That’s about the same as winning a car as an adult.
BA? Buenos Aires
Call a rov.
Can some posters post the phone numbers of poskim they call?
You can email Rabbi Eidlitz from LA at [email protected]
Is there some status called “aguna” I am unfamiliar with?

In that situation, what you do is tell the guy if he parks there you will slash his tires. Then, you can’t park there either or he will slash yours, but, you clearly win.
smartcookie:
Is that so? Can we also make fun of each other? How about if one of us would insult another for being single or divorced or a BT or ugly, or NP?
Gladly. But it is disguised as a ’98 Civic. I paid Maserati price because I wanted to have an 8 cow car.
There is no driving like NYC. I have driven all over, but my steering wheel belongs in midtown.
Yes, and obviously chazal could have made computers, so the fact that they didn’t shows that we are not meant to have them.
Singles don’t exist. They are not recognized as part of the community.
She should feel disenfranchised. She is disenfranchised.
Look around at shul. The married 23 year old gets an aliya when he comes home, while a single 30 year old gets pesicha. As a community we don’t recognize people unless they are married.
It is the thought that counts, BUT,
It is the thought that counts.
So, if it was clearly intended to be “yotzei”, you don’t need to be grateful.
Yes, presumably the mitzva to help a jew is supposed to be a result of an emotion of wanting to help him. I can see little reason why that emotion would not apply to a goy.
Now, there are some people who it is a mitzva to shecht, like an oved avoda zara. So if you see an oved avoda zara needing help, I suppose you should conquer your feeling of wanting to help him, and if you can, shecht him.
Sure. When can I pick it up? 🙂
Any night of chanuka. Just walk down the street and see which houses have them. You can even start a fire as a diversion.
Don’t italic smilies look funny.
80 is right, this thread has no negativity. Maybe you should close it.
We say elu v’elu by minhagim?
Do we even say any minhagim are divrei elokim?
But who is barbaric? Your system is going to lead to alot of people who in your mind are jewish, but are not keeping mitzvos.
Why do you think it is nicer to them to make them gerim?
Are you only allowed to kill a rodef? What is someone is going to chop off your feet and hands, can you kill him if that is the only way to stop him?
What if he is going to be attached to you forever?
How about a silver menora?
Ok, let’s take your position for a moment.
So you will make these gerim who do not know what the mitzvos are, and have no intention of doing them. They become gerim, and don’t do any mitzvos. They die, and go to Hell. (I really can’t imagine any defense of tinok shenishba for someone who willingly accepts judaism, he at least knows and accepted to find out.)
Now, who is barbaric? Me or you?
It should bother you.
At the same time, the rebbi may need to just talk out his aggravation. (Maybe suggest he go to therapy.)
I mean, I know he wants a Breitling and a matching Bentley, but he’ll have to get by with a Movado and an Accord!
You planning to sponsor an Accord? You don’t need to buy them a car.
Popa possesses a unique gift which allows him to sift through all music and find the jewish parts. It has to do with how it touches his neshama.
He’ll be happy to rule on any song or part of song.
You don’t have to eat fish, you can eat sushi.
pashut yid:
I am slightly disturbed by your injecting considerations into a discussion of halacha. While halacha sometimes makes room for shaas hadchak, that is part of the halacha.
Presumably the rabbonim have already decided what he halacha should be in this case, and have accounted for the shaas hadchak. (Or not, if they do not think it exists- as I don’t.)
I don’t see how laymen’s, or politician’s opinions have any sound bearing.
Video games teach that actions have consequences. If you miss, you get eaten by the monster.
thanks. sounds interesting.
squeak:
You forgot about the ancestor in the inquisition, and the one in the holocaust.
that’s right.
Well, it is easier to defeat moderate Democrats, because they usually represent more conservative districts. It is presumably easier to defeat moderate Republics in the same manner. (Misspelled intentionally.)
a Yorei Shomayim who wants to eat a shiur seudah of these types of products
A true yarei shomayim would certainly want to eat a shiur seudah of these products.
It is ok to make fun of the french because they are rotten horrible people, who do not have a good midda among them.
Yet, they are human and tzelem elokim. We should use them as an example of where humanity can fall. Indeed, that is the essence of our greatness, that we have the opportunity to sink, but we rise.
Aishes:
Maybe put the case in perspective for us. What kind of community? How many dates with #2? Had he gone out already with #1?
If they are chassidish, and he has only agreed to a beshow with #2, I could more readily understand his wanting to back out of meeting her for #1.
But in a dating situation, this story just sounds bizzare.
I agree with aries; why are you judging us that we need to work on something?
“bagels are hamotzi according to everyone because they are baked after being boiled.”
Not according to everyone.
Well, according to the Mechaber 168:14, and the mishna berura does not bring any contrary shittos, so it is pretty normative.
Now, while I was researching that, I ran into the mishna berura 168:85 which says that if something is fried, that itself can make it pas kisnim as if the dough was kneaded with oil. (He means to include cases where it was fried and then baked so we can’t rely on the frying itself to make it not pas.)
aishes:
I think that makes it worse. If he is happy with the second, but thinks there is some possibility he would be happier with the first, he is a total lunatic to break off from the second.
Clarification not accepted. The idea of being ready to marry someone until finding out that someone else may still be available, makes no sense.
It is impossible except for the most immature and petty person, who has no idea what marriage is.
Whether she was 3 or 300, it is pretty clear that at least some rishonim thought she was 3 and were willing to accept that, and did not challenge it on moral grounds.
I happen not to care how old she was, since it will not change my life, and I will use it neither as a basis to marry a 3 year old, nor as a basis not to.
I can happily accept that it would be a bit odd to marry a 3 year old today, while accepting that yitzchak did it.
This is not the only thing rishonim disagree on, I can live with it.
Yes. Why can’t women drive?
Can’t they see just as well? Don’t they have the same motor skills? It doesn’t take much upper body strength to turn the steering wheel!
Why do they turn into children at the thought of taking the Belt to Far Rockaway? (Actually, the reason they are afraid to drive is because they are bad at it. The ones who are not afraid are the biggest menace.)
Does anybody know the answer to this?
WIY:
I said it was hiddur mitzva. I was the first one.
bagels are hamotzi according to everyone because they are baked after being boiled.
Actually, donuts seem to be a safek if they are even pas at all, since they are fried. If we say that frying is akin to boiling, then they would be maaseh kedeira, and not hamotzi even if you eat a whole bakery. (Which I have done.)
I agree with mosherose? I do. HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPP!
I would like to point out that I was m’chavein to mosherose, as I was the first to absurdly say it was hiddur mitzva.
deiyezooger:
There is something called a mitzva tantz. I have never seen one. It is a chassidish minhag, and is considered very holy. One YWN poster even said it is more important than the whole wedding.
Whatever distinguishes it from the rest of the wedding and from regular normal custom, is the topic of this thread. That certainly includes holding the gartel, and also includes the patterns traced by the dancers, which I am told spell Hashem’s name.
It was suggested that that stemmed from the machzor vitri, but that was clearly erroneous.
At the end of the day everyone gets what they deserve.
when these l’h speakers get rejected for jobs,shiduchim etc..
let them think back if there was anyone they wronged in the past..
Yes,someone once wronged me very seriously. Some time later, his son was killed. I was so happy, I made a kiddush in shul.
By which I mean: Are you suggesting that she should take solace in the fact that the people oppressing her will have tzaros because of it?
mdd:
If he is advocating following halacha, then that is what the batei din are already doing. If he is advocating anything else…
