Health: You can’t just dismiss anyone you disagree with as “totally disregards Halachah”. The IDF Chief Rabbi is a Bar Hachi of having an opinion and is entitled to Pasken how he thinks is right.
Great_Idea: I will try and find the exact case, but ORA has demonstrated against a woman before. And ORA is very Medakdek in trying to find out what is really going on before they demonstrate at all.
Health: Your proof is nothing. He meant that why should he listen to the Jewish deity over any other that he believed existed. Kefira is not Avodah Zarah. That’s just not true. We have Perakim in Shas and Simanim in Shulchan Aruch devoted to defining Avodah Zarah. Apikorsus and atheism are entirely separate things. They’re terrible things, yes, but they’re not Avodah Zarah.
Wow, the one thing that really stands out on the old threads is how many posters have a subtitle that reads “Joseph”.
Health: I think, that when you proudly admitted to hating other Jews, that you lost any right to accuse others of Sinas Chinam, whether or not you feel that you have a Mitzvah to hate whoever you hate.
Hello: It would seem to me that, according to the Rambam at least, seeing a non-Tznius woman is an Abizraihu of Giluy Arayos. That is a very good point that you make. I don’t know if that’s Muskam to everyone, but the Rambam does seem to connect them. (Though his wording is interesting; why is there no Makas Mardus on Kol or S’ar? Are those a lower D’rabannan? A slightly different type of Issur? There can be what to say on that, but Pashtus is like you said.) And no, I’m not scared of being proven wrong and I never said that I disregard that T’shuvah.
Health: The Gemara says that “Kol Leitzanusa Assura L’vad Me’avodah Zarah”. It doesn’t say Kefira, just Avodah Zarah.
I have never once had any Tefillah, large or small, answered in any satisfactory manner. It’s very disheartening, actually.
I have said several times that I won’t address this T’shuvah. Please stop bothering me about it before I say something that I regret.
I don’t know anyone here. The more you post and read the more you get to know people and people get to know you.
Hello; No, I have said before that I will not address this T’shuvah. You are very, very learned, but Bimchilas K’vodcha I have discussed it with those greater than you and still do not understand it.
Hello: I’m sorry if I wasn’t clear. I have meticulously studied every Makor R’ Moshe quotes there. I still do not understand how he came to his conclusion and therefore will not address anything related to that T’shuvah. I can’t disagree with it; he’s Rav Moshe and I’m not. But I can’t address it either.
Scissors: $$
RK: The Ma’amar existed, it was just removed from all Seforim for a reason.
I don’t think I (or anyone else) has to defend Rav Schachter. He knows Halachah. If anyone has specific questions I’m sure he wouldn’t turn anyone away who goes to ask him. I don’t know every detail.
RK: There is one nonexistent Ma’amar Chazal (I tracked down the Mekoros) about Paul. The Rishonim themselves took it out so that the Christians didn’t find out about it. I don’t think we should have such an idea posted on the internet.
I was personally told by someone who asked Rav Schachter who told me verbatim what he said. Rav Schachter said that anyone who encourages and/or assists the M’sarev in continuing his course of action is “fair game” to be coerced the same way he is. Talk to Rav Schachter if you have an issue with this. I’m just quoting him.
I was informed that it’s considered part of the Seruv that anyone who impedes the process or could help force the husband to give a Get but does not is “fair game” for the same protests and coercion as the husband is.
Someone did. It was for taking too long for Hallel or something like that. I thought it was you, but maybe it was someone else.
I knew that. “-alarium” wasn’t the right ending. I was just pointing out that you misspelled your own made-up word.
Can I ask why DaasYachid was blocked? He can be a little rough around the edges at times but is a good, knowledgeable, and honest poster (at least, he seems that way to me).
For making usernames that mimic other peoples.
PBA: Isn’t Sukkos Pentecost with an ‘e’, not an ‘a’?
PBA: Didn’t you say the same of a Chazzan who takes too long a few months ago?
Hello: I am familiar with that Rama. My point is that the Lav of Histak’lus doesn’t necessarily fall under “Giluy Arayos”. I would need to see a Makor somewhere that it does.
HaKatan: I looked up your quote from Ben Gurion. If he said it at all, you took it out of the context he appears to have said it in. His point was that in England they still wouldn’t be safe, while in Israel they were guaranteed to not be slaughtered.
And I looked up your quote of the “Zionist war”. It all dates back to a political scientist named M. Raphael Johnson, YS”V who wrote in 2001 about an economic boycott. This person also puts “the Holocaust” in quotation marks and claims that the “Jewish mafia” has controlled all organized crime in the world for the past two decades and that they actually control much of the world. He also claims that the Rabin assassination was because Rabin wanted to help slow this organized crime. Yeah, such an anti-Semite is a great source for you to use.
Scissors: At this point, the only way for you to be “happy, healthy, and whole” with someone is if either your husband gets therapy or you get out of this marriage and find a new one someday. If you try and fix something this broken on your own, everyone gets hurt.
And not to hijack this thread, but why are you still married mom12?
Kiddushin (18a I think) calls Esav a “Yisrael Mumar”.
Dash: Yeah, I said it based on the Ever Min Hachai. I found a Gemara though which seems to say we hold like the brothers. Is that Yadua too? 🙂
Olam Chessed Yibaneh.
Dash: Check Rambam Melachim where he talks about it. Only a sister from one parent (I think the mother, not the father) is Assur to B’nei Noach. It’s the 6th Halachah in one of the Perakim, I forget which one though. Maybe 9:6?
I’m just curious, by the way, where did you hear that Yosef thought they were B’nei Noach while the brothers thought they were B’nei Yisrael? I thought that was my Chiddush.
You don’t have to end the marriage or anything like that immediately. If he wants to go through counseling and maybe medications then maybe you can keep your family together, especially if he usually is as nice as you say he sometimes is. However, until then you need to find somewhere to go. It can be an acquaintance, a distant relative, or maybe even your estranged family, depending on your circumstance. But you can’t stay where you are now. I was once told that if a wife or child is ever beaten, it is assumed to be Pikuach Nefesh immediately and that you have to call the police even on Shabbos. I don’t know if I would Pasken the same, but this is a serious issue. You have to do something. It’s not in any way your fault, but leaving yourself and your children in an abusive situation is something you cannot do. Being too scared or too worried and doing nothing will only hurt yourself and your kids even more.
HaKatan: Your revisionist history is shocking and repulsive. The Zionists “declared war” on Hitler and caused him to want to kill all Jews? You have to back up a claim like that before you say anything close to it.
ARWSF: Did you not read the rest of this thread? His Rav (a recognized Posek) holds it’s okay. How can you lose respect for someone for listen to their Rav?
Hello: As I have said several times before, I just do not understnd that T’shuvah. That aside, Rav Moshe talking about the Issur of Lo Sikr’vu doesn’t have anything to do with whether or not seeing something not Tznius is Yeihareg V’al Ya’avor.
Itche: Are you sure? I could be wrong (I don’t think so though but I always can be); I’ll look into it.
You are allowed to start sentences with ands or buts. It does not automatically create a fragment like your teachers in grade school claim.
Prince Charming: Cinderella was absolutely in the right. She was stopping an obviously Frum girl from what she had very good reason to believe was a mistake. If the same situation arises again I hope that she (and I) would do the same. The only possible difference would be that (now that she has seen this thread) maybe she would say “Did you know that doesn’t have a Hechsher?” rather than “Did you know that that’s not Kosher?”
Reform or Conservative things aren’t Shaimos. Sefer Torah Shek’savo Min Yisaref.
MDD: Anyone can see any P’shat they want in that Gemara. It is one line and almost none of the Rishonim comment on it. There is no definitive clear meaning of what a “Karbalta” (sorry if I got the word wrong) is.
Technically, a Frum owner can be a Mashgiach for anything but the Minhag is not to let them. A Masshgiach is a type of Eid, but there are separate rules for that type of Eidus. It could be that someone who is Passul L’eidus is Kasher for this (there are a lot of different opinions and it depends on why he is Passul L’eidus). Each Va’ad will have to Pasken who they let be Mashgichim and who they don’t.
Yungerman: That would be a very strange application of “Ein Hamikra Yotzei Midei P’shuto”. None of the Rishonim say that. Would they also say that “Lo S’galeh K’naf Aviv” means there’s an Issur D’Oraisa of seeing one’s father naked. That is very, very strange. It’s not what Ein Hamikra Yotzei Midei P’shuto means.
I’m gonna second what Popa said (well third it actually, since Yitay beat me to it), but I agree he could have said it a bit more nicely.
Hello: Seeing or hearing an Ervah is not Abizraihu of Giluy Arayos. I don’t have a source for that at the moment, so if you can bring one proving that it is I will concede that point.
Hello, Astonished, others: I would advise that you stop ranting here. I would personally feel (for several separate reasons) that anyone who goes just based on ingredients is eating Traif. And no, I wouldn’t eat in Yitay’s home because that food would be Treif for me. I would, however, hold of Yitay’s Ne’emanus for everything else (including Kashrus-related) because I acknowledge that Rabbi Abadi is a Bar Hachi of having an opinion and his Talmidim have a right to follow that opinion. I also acknowledge that Rabbi Abadi is much smarter and more knowledgeable than I and that I cannot dismiss his opinion out of hand for others, even if I would hold there are potential Issurei D’Oraisa with eating the food for myself.
Doswin: There is a Ramban Al Hatorah quoting a Gemara that HKBH promised us that Jews will only lose control of Eretz Yisrael twice, not three times. We are Muvtach that there will not be another mass execution in Eretz Yisrael that would cause us to lose E”Y.
YK: Rav Herschel Schachter is a tremendous zionist.
HaKatan: The blood that has been spilled in Israel in the last 60 years is tiny compared to the Churban of Europe in the Holocaust. Leaving Jews in Europe (or anywhere outside Israel) has just the same opportunity for that to happen again.
Doswin: I don’t know. If I were a Rabbi on that level maybe I would. I do plan on looking into this now though.
Great_Idea: If a Posek (an actual big Posek, not some random person, Rabbi or not, who I want to be a Posek) told me that in a certain situation to spit on a girl, and no other Posek disagreed, and I didn’t have a Ra’aya B’rurah from Shas and Poskim that he was wrong, of course I would. It is not up to me to determine what the Halacha is in each case. We listen to those who are more knowledgeable than us (i.e. the Poskim). Unless I had a Ra’aya B’rurah that it was wrong or knew that it was an unresolved Machlokes and that he was just Paskening one way, I wouldn’t go against a major Posek on anything, regardless of what he told me. That’s what a Rav Muvhak is.
Mommamia: You are fine. The majority of Poskim say 72 fixed minutes, (which means 72 minutes before sunrise no matter where you are or what time of year), so you were fine at 6:08. And the discrepancy during the summer in some places can be over an hour earlier if you go by degrees. It’s a huge difference for 17 B’Tammuz. I really, really don’t like that that site tries to pass off the degrees as the main Shittah.
Doswin: That’s not true. If we’re talking about the same case (I assume we are, how many high-profile cases like this currently exist?) they had the backing of a very strong Posek for protesting the relatives.
