Yes Lior, because the torah says lo tonu.

So are you oveid Hashem or rabbi miller?

JF: I don’t think that’s a very fair remark to make without taking sides.

It kinda feels like you’re taking sideways shots to try to undermine one’s position.

A bit like the guy who trips one of two people in a fight, and then says he has nothing to do witht he fight.

Yes, like or people who sing “mitzva b’gadol l’yabeim”, even when daf yomi is learning sukka.

@oomis

Yes, but in your standing up for respect, you have ignored the very basic level of respect that op is looking for.

Obviously I am not basing my decision off the YWN coffee room!

I don’t believe you.

I have heard there are actually yeshivos there.

Probably next there will be one in Vegas.

Well I don’t think R’ Chaim Brisker spoke such an eloquent English or even English at all. I was quoting his grandson, R’ Yosef Dov Haleivi Soloveitchik, who was saying over what R’ Chaim had said, using his own eloquent English.

He was paraphrasing the tana d’vei rabi yishmael “im pagah b’cha menuval, mashcheihu l’veis hamedrash.”

(As someone who learns mussar would know)

That’s a good answer also.

But tos should still ask the question later in the mesechta where we talk about like a tzaras sotah, etc.

Everybody (DY) knows there’s only one song worth walking to the chuppah to.

You mean like me?

I was too busy to respond when this thread was active. But here is my response.

Unlike most laws, tznius is not a set of rules; the spirit is actually what counts. And tznius cannot be broken down to a set of hard and fast rules either.

Are tight clothes tznius? Depends how tight.

Are bright clothes tznius? Depends how bright.

But even more importantly, it depends how bright AND tight.

See what I mean? Tight is a factor, and bright is a factor. The same tightness that is tznius in purple might not be tznius in yellow, and the same yellow might be tznius if looser but not tighter.

There are a million factors that go into it, and most of them cannot be dropped into little binary yes and no checkboxes.

In my opinion, white is less tznius than other colors, when combined with some other factors. I think that often a skirt that is tznius in brown is not tznius in white. But that doesn’t mean that “white skirt=non-tznius.”

You don’t need to feed me. You haven’t seen enough to notice yet, but I feed myself.

of course, but meanwhile do you like my yom kipper kasha?

So like for example, today’s daf took about 3 minutes.

And that included:

Remembering that a niddah falls to yibum because it isn’t domeh to an achos isha, i nami because darchei noam.

Wondering why tosfos didn’t ask about a yevama who falls on yom kippur and according to rabi akiva.

Trying to remember whether a chayvei lav falls to yibum according to rabi akiva.

Remembering there’s a tosfos on 9a that has a teima about it, and looking it up and confirming that chayvei lavin don’t fall.

There is only one in Queens. And he’s been the mashgiach for like 60 years.

You really should quit while you’ve only made a 99% fool out of yourself.

What has shwekey to do with ilan ilan? Its an abie rotenberg song from eish.

Dumb idea

My sister is getting married now – does anybody have any recommendations for songs at the Chupa?

How about, when the grandparents walk down, you can play “ilan ilan”?

Cute idea, no?

(Get it, it’s like you’re saying that the grandparents are the tree in the moshol and the kids are the netiyos. It isn’t an exact comparison because usually the grandparents are not so completely perfect and have such completely perfect lives that you can’t think of anything to bless them with. But nobody probably except me will think of that, because they’ll be too busy smiling at your brilliance application of the worst song in modern music.)

I’m not at all condoning a shabbos app but I’m sure people said the same thing about lights etc before we got used to it. What? Keeping lights on on shabbos!

ok, so now you sound like a tzeduki.

Let’s put divorce aside. If someone comes from a more “violent culture”, thus resulting in more domestic violence than other communities, that in itself indicates less happier marriages. So domestic violence rates would be a good indicator even if you’re dismissive of divorce rates.

It would not at all, joe. Because suppose two communities have the same marriage happiness rate (60% very happy, 20% moderately happy, 10% neutral, and 10% horrible), you might find in one community there is no domestic violence and in the other there is 10% domestic violence. But it shows nothing about the happiness of their marriage.

I don’t trust scientific papers when dealing with anything controverisal. They use scientific babble to mask the stuff that the are pulling out of their shin daled (see megilla end of third perek).

For example, see the stupidity that passes for science among the global warming cult.

I usually used to pick the guy with the worst middos. I figured he’d always be getting in fights with his wife, and then would be on time to seder and not in a rush to leave and not texting her the whole time.
