apy: Only where the Torah specifically and directly authorizes it for a situation. It can’t be deduced to elsewhere. And even there, it is the Torah saying what will happen; not some man making a prediction.
WIY is absolutely correct and his point holds.
I believe the age 20 is correct for Dinei Shamayim. I don’t know what the N”B says, but it is certainly cited in other sources.
Zionism is dead.
Even in Israel it is widely acknowledges they are in, what they themselves refer to as, the post-Zionist period.
Heter Iska.
yekke: At which site can you d/l it at no cost?
TCG: How do you account that in the U.S. Jews walk around in outwardly Jewish attire generally without incident, yet in Europe that is seemingly far more difficult?
TCG: How’d that happen in Bnei Brak of all places?
One can go to a Siyum on a mesechta or even on the entire shas without learning the entire mesechta or shas.
My point was that that’s not the attitude the Torah takes.
Sam: I’m sure you are similarly against taking away the b’chor’s double portion or taking away from the sons to give to the daughters, for the same reason you enumerated — “that’s not the attitude the Torah takes.”
And, of course, taking away from an OTD/rasha child is less problematic than taking away the b’chor’s double portion (or even reducing all the sons portion to give to the daughters.)
So, then, on that basis it is no kasha even if the father “disinherits” a child based on like/dislike, love/hate, etc., since it really isn’t disinheriting, it is “gifting” to the other children one moment before death.
Just as taking away the b’chor’s double portion or giving a piece to the daughters that would otherwise go to the sons.
Considering that (and putting aside the entire OTD/rasha situation), how can so many fathers nowadays take away from the b’chor his right to a double portion? L’chora, a father should not take away from the b’chor his double portion.
Are there still any minyanim in E. Flatbush and Brownsville?
For the printer to make a name for themselves due to their uniqueness.
Why would anyone allow their kids to be friends, in the first place, with anyone of questionable character or kashrus?
WM: What is the reason the halacha is that you save a man first?
No, that’s not the same case.
I said you can extrapolate from the reasoning of that halacha. I stand by that.
point me to the source that states that saving a TC takes precedence over a regular person
How about the same halacha that you save a man before a woman. Extrapolate the reasoning of the halacha.
Motzei Shabbos troll thread?
aurora77: Since you are not Jewish yet, until you become Jewish I do not see any problem whatsoever with you driving to an Orthodox synagogue.
Also, you should know that traditional Judaism (aka Orthodoxy) does not recognize the newer streams (Reform, Conservative, etc.) as being Judaism. Any conversion through those streams will leave one considered as still being non-Jewish by traditional Judaism.
If a frum person goes OTD he (or she) is a rasha.
Draftees do not get to pick which service they are assigned to.

Tznius.
The issue (at least my issue and my rabbi’s issue) with YCT is that their psakim are not informed by any kind of standard halakhic process as historically practiced by poskim. To be fair, this issue is present in many other camps, but YCT is more egregious than most because they loudly proclaim “b’shita” that extra-halakhic considerations justify the way they “push the envelope” and that those considerations in fact trump normative halakha (while at the same time carefully staying within the bounds of muttar — barely).
That pretty much sums up modern orthodoxy in general, not just the “left-wing modern orthodoxy” of YCT.
Just remove the boards yourself, like popa suggested, if its on your property.
Internet Rule #1: If you don’t want the whole world to know something, don’t put it on facebook or anywhere else online.
Why should it be any worse than calling her friends, referances, rabbis, schoolmates, asking half the town about her, checking out her educational and family history, her tastes, hobbies, chesed work, employment, and yichus.
Checking google and facebook is not only less intrusive than any of the above, but no one even has to know you’ve checked her out online.
Eliyahu Hanovi will announce Moshiaxh’s imminent arrival three days in advance. Moshiach can’t come on Erev Shabbos or Shabbos.
HaLeiVi: Which Beis Din HaGodol currently exists?
Right Path: and writing on paper is just a bunch of ink splatter. So by your logic it is okay for that reason.
Right Path: And writing is really just a splurge of ink on wood (paper).
RABBAIM: So you cant print a webpage, even if you never wrote anything?
Only if its essential.
Pardon the ignorance, but how is wine produced differently than grape juice, considering both come from grapes? And what makes one wine have a higher alcoholic content than another wine? Does wine have a natural amount of alcohol that producers can manipulate by increasing or decreasing?
What time do you late-birds get to Shachris?
lesschumras: They had a halachic basis. That doesn’t mean every situation has a halachic basis, even if they claim to.
Shticky: Will the CR continue to exist post-Beis HaMikdash?
nitpicker’s comments above in this thread make clear he is under the impression that popa is a mod.
Why do you usually skip it, popa?
Good find, yitay!
How is there ever a problem if you find chometz in your house on Pesach? Either it was sold to the goy or it was batul. So you shoildn’t even ever come to Ra’ui La’achilas Hakelev. And certainly one would never have a problem where he owns chometz on Pesach (that he would have to burn or something.)
The legislation passed the Arizona Senate but not the House yet. It was intended to stop people harassing another person. But it was written too broadly. It was realized after the Senate passed it but before it went to the Governor. So they are reworking the language to remove anti-trolling before they pass it and send it to the Governor to sign into law.
How small a piece of food is too little to be ro’eh le’achilas kelev?
And (Trans-)Jordan and Syria too.
I agree with yitzchokm. Sam misunderstood his friend. His friend made sure his matzah didn’t touch the table, so he put something around it on the table. Like yitzcokm and Sam’s friend, so do I.
yitayningwat-
So you are divining intentions too? What you think is disingenuous can easily be sincere.
I realized I missed Klausenberg almost as soon as I posted. They indeed belong smack in middle there.
I heard Satmar k’h had over 100,000 20+ years ago already. Now at least a dor later, with some 10+ children k’h per family, the numbers would be that much greater.
