Cool. Sac’s a lawyer. There are very few frum female lawyers. This may belong in the “If you were discovered…” thread.
chad pami:
Are you saying you are a Noahide? That is so cool. Sean is also? Wow! Let’s start a thread to talk about that.
I have eaten gefilte fish made from scratch three times. It was one shabbos in Bnei Brak, and they were made by two different people.
Both were absolutely horrible. By sholeshudes, we were dreading having to eat it again. One had a slightly more manageable taste, but that factor was overshadowed by the bones which were ground in.
I would not put it in favorite sandwich.
I would not make it my favorite dish at any restaurant.
I would use it as an incentive to stop smoking.
I would burn it on Chanuka or any other time.
I think boys should look for a girl who will not make it.
I think learning to not make it should be part of any course of over-education.
I think there should be a notation under everyone’s name whether they would eat it.
Eating it was not the craziest thing that ever happened to me.
Commenting on it could have led to a “most embarrassing moment”.
I would vote for “stateSenator” if he will agree to ban it.
They do not serve it at Shnitzi.
The girls out of school in Monsey should not make it in their spare time. (Sorry, no offense meant; I do sympathize with you.)
It is not a segula. (Definitely not a literal segula)
I hope they do not teach it in any Seminary.
What do you think you would like most at treif restaurants?
McDonalds- Angus wrap.
Chick-a-fill. Fried chicken sandwich. These are mostly in the south, but they have a national fan following.
Ruths Chris Steakhouse- I don’t know but Rush makes it sound good.
Pizza Hut- Stuffed crust. Thinking of trying to make it at home.
Wow! I’m impressed. I remembered that when I was learning for smicha the best questions were the absurd ones. (May one tovel in the gulf oil spill? Yes)
As far as the thursday/friday question; I meant that he lit at night so he may have been mechalel shabbos.
Also, the bein hashmashos question; I was wondering if he was able to light since it is a mitzva and bein hashmashos is a safek.
Everything bagel with lox.
The lox. High quality lox. I like delicate lox, so sockeye salmon is not really right even though it is a really good fish. No farmed fish for me. A good wild atlantic salmon, smoked well, not too salty.
I like to eat a lot of lox. Lox is expensive, so I don’t do it really often, but I’d rather gorge on lox once than eat a normal amount five times. (Picture Alaskan Brown Bears pulling dozens of salmon out of a stream)
The bagel. It must be an everything bagel, and it must really have everything. Especially coarse kosher salt. It must be a real bagel, no out of town bagels.
Purple onion. I don’t always put the onion in the sandwich but it must be there.
The reason we serve purple onion at a bris is so that when you come late to seder and tell your chavrusa you went to a bris, he will know if you are telling the truth. I keep an onion in my jacket pocket for emergencies. (My chavrusa keeps breath mints in his.)
WIY: Figure out which parts are serious. See if you can google it yourself this time.

Avrahom:
I admire your self confidence in running for office at your age. I think it is ok that you did not win. Winning was a really long shot, and you did very well, 27% of the vote.
What are your plans now?
What do you mean? The torah says, “va’achaltem yoshon noshan”.
Are you makpid on eating pigs?
When you post a comment, it is not yichud for the same reason that it is not achilas matza, or marror.
Oomis:
Yes, but if he knows that you are not yotzei with stolen oil, and he thinks it is stolen, so he thinks he is not being yotzei, so he thinks he is being ridiculous in having daas to be yotzei, so does he really have kavana?
He/She’s have a very hard time with shidduchim.
state senator:
you are avrahom rosenberg?
Eating tomatoes. I can’t really explain it.
Going to seminary is so 2000’s. In the 2010’s we are way past that.
I will never live down voting for Hoover. Worst white president ever.
Ok, I’m clearly misunderstanding you.
You are contending that it is different from pashtida in what way?
Ummmm. Usually because the ones who want an advanced education associate themselves less with the yeshivish community. The less yeshivish people tend to get married late and have few kids. Also, getting married late contributes to having few kids.
I reread my post and it sounds a bit obnoxious. Sorry.
I do stand by what I wrote though.

What were you expecting?
You like? Ok, here goes:
1. Are you yotzei with stolen oil?
Assuming you are not;
1b Reuven lights with oil that he thinks he stole from Shimon, but it is really Reuven’s oil, is Reuven yotzei?
1c Suppose he knows that you are not yotzei with stolen oil, but he has daas to be yotzei anyway.
1d Suppose he is a shaliach of Shimon to light, and he thinks it is Shimon’s oil but it is his own, is he stealing his own oil? Is shimon yotzei? Must reuven pay himself?
charlie:
Because it was cheaper than fixing other unbroken things 🙂
A. Does one have to make hamotzi on a shiur kvieas seuda of jelly donuts, or is it understood that on chanuka people eat a shiur kvieas seudah of donuts as a snack? Would that make a difference? (Assume they are not fried, or assume that frying has a din of baking)
B. If one lights a ner the first night, with only one day of oil, and it miraculously burns for 8 days, and he had daas to be yotzei all 8 mitzvos, is he yotzei? Why not?
C. If one does not know which night it is, and he lights twice, once for each possible night, with daas each time for one, is he yotzei?
D. Same question, but it may have been friday night. (He doesn’t know if it is friday night or thursday night.)
E. If one does not know if it is friday night or motzaei shabbos, but either way it is chanuka; is he allowed to light bein hashmashos?
F. Suppose chanuka starts on tuesday, and one is confused whether today is tuesday and therefore chanuka, or friday and not chanuka. He lit candles on condition that if it is friday they are for shabbos, and if it is tuesday, they are for chanuka.
1. It is friday, it he yotzei shabbos candles?
2. It is tuesday, is he yotzei chanuka candles.
G. If one always lights candles in his doorway the entire year, does he need to do anything different on chanuka?
H. Same question, but the entire year, he even has daas that it is for the mitzva of chanuka, how should he have daas on chanuka?
prof:
I think you are making a mistake. Pizza is pretty clearly in the category discussed by the shulchan aruch in 168:17 regarding pashtida. The din of pashtida is that it is not pas kisnim at all, and one always makes hamotzi.
See beur halacha BD”H pashtida; There is a taz which says that a filling of meat or fish makes a food pas kisnim, and therefore only hamotzi when eaten in a shiur kvias seudah (I assume cheese has the same status). The beur halacha restricts this din to small pastries made as a snack, like pigs in a blanket.
Accordingly, pizza will be real pas, and will be hamotzi even when eaten in small amounts.
It bears noting here, that the din of “kovea seuda” as commonly referenced, is not completely correct. See mechaber 168:6, that one’s personal intentions are irrelevant, and the din is that if one eats the amount of kvias seuda, that is when one must make hamotzi. Therefore, even if one is eating cookies as a meal, if one eats less than the amount people normally eat as a meal, one must make mezonos.
The amount normally eaten as a meal is a machlokes. It is either 3-4 beitzim, or, the amount eaten at a seudas erev u’boker. MB 168:24
Missing Eyeball.
Why would anyone live in Monsey anyway? It’s like living in Brooklyn, except there’s no shnitzi. And you have to pay a toll to get to work.
If they would live in Miami, they wouldn’t have this problem. If they would live in Milwaukee, they wouldn’t have this problem.
I spent shabbos with a chasidish family in Montana. But they were on vacation from Monsey.
what bracha on shnitzel? and how much constitutes achilah gassah?
What? How much cholent constitutes achila gassah?
They try to get into Stonybrook because it’s cheap. They also try University of Maryland, if you establish residency it is also cheap.
Columbia and NYU are expensive but are at least in NY.
good.jew is right. You have to stand by what you believe in. People in the middle are just ridiculous.
All my friends know my username and text me when they think I said something funny.
I don’t mind if the whole world knows what I think.
There’s almost zero incentive not to become a kolel couple. I could convincce anyone to live the Kolel life in 5 minutes.
This is obviously untrue. The evidence is that most frum couples are not in kollel, or, don’t stay in kollel.
squeak:
I agree there is anger when the smoke is in your presence, but don’t you think there is also a certain general anger?
Why are cigarettes taxed to $10 a pack and people cheer? Why do people sneer at smokers? Isn’t there something more there?
I think so.
Popa is the seminary expert!!!
Obviously Sharfman’s, as evidenced by their proximity to the sanhedria caves.
I think good.jew is right. You are angry because you are jealous.
Smoking is not nearly as bad for you as being fat. My grandfather died at a young age of heart disease, so I think I will get angry at people who are fat. I will say they should be taxed heavily and also are not worthy to marry a by girl or a yeshiva guy. Or maybe the fat people should marry smokers.
Bad fat people!!
nurse:
No, of course not. You just use it as your username. (Unless you’re not really a nurse?)
blah blah blah lung cancer blah blah blah heart disease blah blah blah nicotine.
Why does smoking bother people so much?
It seems to make people angry that others smoke.
Why do you think that is?
Eating is emotional experience. We “love” food. We “hate” food. Food makes us happy. We get angry at food. We are jealous of our food. We get insulted by our food.
arc:
I don’t think he is left at all?
What does he say that makes you think that?
And TSA employees.
What is the difference between using liquor or prescribed drugs? Aren’t they both for the same purpose?
go look.
squeak:
Why do you not think we should deal with this problem? I say, “Deal with it!”
The best part is that the bumper stickers are magnets, not stickers. So when you buy a new car, you can take the magnet with you.
I don’t think it means nothing. It means at some point we felt rich enough to reduce class size to 25. We are no longer that rich.
Deal with it.
ludwig don quixote:
Ok. I know people who are hard right wing conservatives. These people give a lot of money to tzedaka. In fact, frum jews are overwhelmingly conservative (usually in proportion to how right wing religious they are), and give far more than the average American to charity.
Do you think they are mean, and are living against the torah’s ideal of caring for the poor and weak?
Isn’t it possible that our political debate involves something more than just meanness? Don’t you recognize that?
