How much to shelter your kids.
Shelter is an important human need. Usually understood as a place to escape from weather and animals. I would say a house or apartment with a roof and walls is basically sufficient.
Popa say-
Do they have snow where Confucious from?
homeowner is right; calling a tow truck is dina l’nafshei, not mesira. still complicated, especially in light of dubious property right.
princess:
There are generally levels of pgam in a child born out of an illicit act.
The most serious is mamzer, which according to us is only one born out of a chayvei krisus.(The gemara makes an exception to this for a child from a nidda. Yevamos 49b)
There are lesser levels of pgam for lesser sins. According to some (all?) opinions, the child of a nidda is pagum.
Reminds me of when you call a credit card and after you finish your business, they are supposed to read you a whole megilla.
I interrupt them, say “is my business taken care of?”; they answer yes; I say, “I’m hanging up now, good bye”.
oops. sorry homeowner.
Homeowner:
So, are we to understand that your driveway is in fact contrary to city law?
Hilarious. What makes you think you can reserve a spot by making a cut in your curb?
I would block an illegal driveway without a moments thought. Even if the car was inside and there were other places to park. You damage my car, I’ll break the windows of your house.
whatrutalkingabt:
two points.
First, many shadchanim don’t take no very well. It is not unreasonable to push someone off if it is the only way to avoid a long debate.
Secondly, “maybe” is not “no”. It means not now. Deciding who to date requires a judgment of the available options, and something may become a better idea when in the future it is compared with different options.
Some people seem to have this notion that every date idea should be given a simple yes or no on a “first come” basis. That is absurd.
Not I:
Firstly, I was suggesting it where you thought the other party was going to be pushy and nosy.
Secondly, it is not rude ever. The neighbor has no vested interest, you have no obligation to tell them your intentions.
You say I don’t intend to pursue it at this time.
Alternatively, you say you are thinking about it and never get back to them.
If they are pushy, you say, “you are being rude”.
I’m taking the gun.
A rasha? I doubt it. Must everything you aren’t supposed to do make you a rasha?
For any of you who don’t read drudge: How cool is this
Not very much. I am quite unclear what the parameters of such an issur would be. The gemara in BB talks about it in terms of using their din of chazaka on land.
Ok, it is not nice. Is it a property right? Does the city even consider it a property right?
3. Again, back to Halacha, knowing that the police officer who tickets your illegally parked vehicle is likely going to be a gentile, how do you reconcile committing Chilul Hashem by openly breaking the law especially if you have left seforim or other Jewish articles visible in your vehicle?
I do not think parking illegally is a chillul hashem.
I am not aware of the hezek you would be charged with. I suppose if you hit his car, you should leave your name and number so you could go to a din torah.
I think it is fine. Parents can police their own money. If parents are willing to give it, the guys are willing to spend it.
Sean/Michael/whoever: I’m sorry your parents don’t give you as much money. Mine didn’t either.
The guy in the airport did us all a favor, but really, he is an idiot. I am flying sunday, and while I think this is outrageous, I really need to get where I am going, so I will put up with it.

Yes metro. Perhaps the first earthly thing you can solve is your puerile attempt at riling people up.
If you dont like the rabbi dont daven there. Plain and Simple.
Cuts both ways. If you don’t like people ignoring you, don’t speak. Plain and simple.
Don’t be intimidated by the other passengers and don’t feel like you are intruding.
You have every right to bring your baby on board, and to let him cry if that is what you think is best for baby or you. If anyone gives you nasty looks, flip a dirty diaper their way.
Why would you force your kids to stay at the table? Whatever you are hoping to gain, is certainly negated by the negative feelings.
Is it disrespectful to a tzibbur to speak when nobody is interested in what you are saying?
A statute of limitations is that if a certain amount of time passes between the crime and being charged, you can not be charged anymore. Once you are charged, any amount of time can pass.
Well thank you metro, that was a really nice thing to say. You may want to join the judgmental thread.
Perhaps, but that only leads the question back to why was it translated before the aruch hashulchan.
hudi:
That was me. I thought you might get the message now 🙂
I make a mean sandwich maker sandwich.
I know a professional talmid chochom.
People hire him when they need a talmid chochom to say or do something for them. Sometimes, newspapers call him for a quote when they have a story that needs a talmid chochom quote, and he’s been in a couple of movies.
Why does he speak if the people don’t want to hear it. If only a few people want to listen, he should call it a shiur and do it around a table.
oomis:
I don’t think we disagree. Somebody had accused the men of not taking seriously the obligation to provide for their families. All I did was point out that the girls are refusing to marry them unless they will learn and allow the woman to work and provide for the family. Accordingly, it is hard to see how the men are not taking their obligation seriously.
Then, because this is the judgmental thread, I accused him of being willfully blind to this.
Now, as to the issue you raise that the seminaries are brainwashing the girls; I agree. I don’t think there is one hour of sincere thought in the whole year they spend there. (Being judgmental again)
I love this thread. We should talk about everything here.
There’s a great Dr. Seuss book, “and to think that I saw it on Mulberry street”.
This thread is putting me in a similar situation.
I have already opined this in a different thread, but, I think the schools overextended themselves in the days of plenty, and now need to readjust themselves to the new economy. (much like everyone else)
You don’t get much more name brand than BY of BP.
thank you 80. proper answer
I think Sacrilege and WIY are the same person, and one day “they” will pretend to us that they met, dated, and got engaged.
squeak:
What happened to the shmelfs
Kayin did teshuva.
Women are forced into the workplace because men do not take seriously the obligation of supporting their families.
Tell that to a working boy who can’t get dates because girls don’t want him to work. It’s the women who are more behind this than the men.
Seriously, where do you people dream this stuff up?
The anti-learning camp is so wrong in all their assumptions it makes me wonder if it is on purpose.
(Josh: Sorry about the tone. I reserve the right to be judgmental on this thread.)
coffefan:
Yes, I agree with you.
Ridiculous. This thread is a flame.
There is no double standard.
Hardest work is trying to get beer from the fridge while wife is cooking and getting in the way.
I was informed it was considered a favorite by some Sephardic eidot.
It is spelled idiot

Shmeuak:
You really think so?
I suppose it doesn’t matter what you think, or what I think.
Blinky: Agreed.
For example, regarding all the kollel bashing that goes on here: Kollel is not right or wrong. For one guy, the right thing is for him to be in kollel, and for another guy, the right thing for him is to get a job.
Agreed
Some fathers would come into the women’s section to dance, some fathers certaintly wont.
I don’t know. While I didn’t like the “only my opinion is valid” thought that seemed to come up in that thread, it is a valid topic for conversation, and there may be a right and wrong.
Everyone can do what they deem is right, and let everyone else do what they want.
If you mean there is no right and wrong, I disagree.
For example, in the latest post about going OTD, the person describes how the coffee room is turning him off from yiddishkeit. This is a shame, and a serious problem.
I took that posters restrictions, and refrained from offering my opinion on that thread. But, that is absurd. We all know why people go OTD, and it is closer to rhyming with shmarents than shmoffee room.
That criticized, I like to think that I approach the CR with an open mind, and offer honest and sincere opinions. I think most of the posters do similarly. We can all work on it, but I think this post is mostly incorrect.
I am very judgmental and this post is ridiculous.
hey!

I eat gargantuan amounts of shmaltz herring every shabbos.
But I agree, you need to eat healthfully.
My cardiologist is fine. Business is booming.
Is this an academic conversation or related to policy?
If it is academic, I don’t really care.
If it is related to policy, I don’t think we usually get policy from a mishna. We follow our Rebbeim and mesora.
Now for some emotion:
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
