I don’t think pba’s Motzei Shabbos troll thread went too well this week. 🙂
Ive seen many weddings where they put bottles of Wine on the table.
They only put them on the men’s tables, not the women’s.
Why does a single guy need homeschooling info? (I’m just curious.)
Daniel:
What’s not forbidden? Yichud, Friendship, or Contact?
ravshalom:
If you are correctly paraphrasing Rav Moshe, the implication is that Rav Moshe holds it impermissible if the parents did not convert (only the child converted).
MichaelC: I’ve been reading your Divrei Torah. Please continue posting them, even if there is this limitation.
mikehall12382: If the parents later convert, it doesn’t change the child’s status.
I am disgusted when I see someone open the fridge and drink straight out of the milk or juice bottle. I would think anyone would be so disgusted. (And not just because of the germs for future drinkers of that container. This would be true even if they polish off the bottle.)
Is there not a proscription against being friends with an akum? Is a ger’s blood relatives excluded from that?
Have you submitted it to them yet or are you waiting for this to first come down?
bomb: You sent this to Mishpacha and they found it posted here and told you they can’t publish until its offline? Did they agree to publish once it is removed?
Derech: Are you jesting about making havdallah after Jerusalem Day? And I had thought you were not the mizrachi type.
Derech: Havdallah for what?
cherry: Are you speaking of Sephardic Chupa’s where the Choson comes out when the Kallah arrives? That doesn’t occur in Ashkenazic Chupa’s.
But either way it is entirely irrelevant to the discussion. There he is taking her into his reshus. Here she is already in his reshus.
I would have her hanged, drawn and quartered.
A man should kindly ask the women to allow him to board the bus first. Halacha is halacha. And worst comes to worst, he can wait for the next bus, in which case he will be the first in line (since he was there for the second bus before anyone else as he was there already from the first bus), and he will be the first to board.
ZeesKite: I already have the link from your earlier post. I’m just curious how you cam across it?
I don’t understand. You said your husband asked your Rov and got an answer. So you are checking with a bunch of anonymous people if your Rov is right? Also, if your coworker said “no”, why do you assume he meant “yes”?
ZeesKite: I saw it before it disappeared. But I’m wondering how you found it in the first place?
An example of a Chillul Hashem is if someone eats treif in public, in front of other Jews. That’s the biggest kind of Chillul Hashem — publicly doing an aveira in front of Jews.
I celebrate American holidays, but that is no excuse for their to be less Yeshiva. As far as secular studies, the Yeshivos need to make up the minimum days legally necessary after missing days for Yom Tov & Chol HaMoed. Purim is more important to celebrate than any of the days you mentioned, hence the day off for Purim.
ZeesKite: Thanks. How did you find that link?
If there’s an issue, someone has to tell her. Whether it was intentional or unintentional. Whether it’s a missing button, too tight, or too short.
If you were me, what would you do?
If I were you, I wouldn’t have been asking this question here since I would have already shaven.
Jastrow wasn’t religious and wrote his dictionary over 100 years ago.
ZeesKite:
Please do. (If they object, they won’t approve it.)
Hmm, so a physician is a blue-collar worker?
Mike: Not every anonymous report of an anonymous rebbe is necessarily accurate. And why are you giving greater credence to that report, than the bochor’s own report that his rebbe taught him it is not permissible (and as several posters above cited from halacha)?
aries: Should he tell her to continue walking as he counts to ten? Otherwise she may just stand in the doorway, waiting for him as he is counting, defeating the purpose.
I would hope a Doctor too uses his brain every time he sees a patient, despite the OP’s impression otherwise.
I find it strange that the OP would stand on principle in demanding to be first. Even if b’shittosai you feel it to be “etiquette” to have the door opened, a) perhaps that feeling is not shared by your date or even (as he said) there is a halachic issue with it and b) even putting that aside, to demand this honor for oneself from a date is a haughtiness that I would think would rightfully result in the boy terminating the dating with her.
Mod42: popa’s travel to Chicago will cost more than the payoff.
And how are they mediocre?
squeak: When you refer to “mediocre youths”, who are you speaking of?
BTW I think he is correct about there being such a halacha.
Why do you feel entitled to go in first?
Thats user adaptable.
ZeesKite:
How can one change it?
Is it considered inappropriate to not give a gift at a wedding you attend the meal?
AZ:
What conditions does the local coordinator impose in order to participate in this program?
And a woman? If removing violates every precept of tznius imaginable? Are you asserting she’d need to do so? How does correcting one aveira by causing another fit?
popa: A coat or your pants? Right in middle of Coney Island Avenue?
That isn’t correct. A person would have to take the shatnez off privately (i.e. at home), as to not violate tznius.
So any shadchan who sets up any girl from Chicago, gets paid the above rates by NASI?
I see two arguments against so far. Either she’ll be embarrassed or it’s not tznius to tell her. As far as the argument that she’ll be embarrassed, if you tell her privately — and make sure no one hears — that issue is relegated. As far as the argument of it being not tznius to tell her, why any less so then telling her she’s wearing shatnez or a roach is crawling up her leg?
Agudah has Daas Torah, under the direction of the Moetzei Gedolei HaTorah.
And it is Rabbi Zweibel. Where do you get the nerve to call him like that?
Where is there any opinion you shouldn’t tell someone she is wearing shatnez, if you know it to be the case?? What is she is mistakenly, or purposefully, violating Shabbos? What if a cockroach is crawling up her leg? Would you tell her then?
Tell her privately, with no one within earshot.
And your wife you certainly must tell.
And tznius is a halacha, not something we can “subjectively” choose. (The core parts.)
I think your reaction of telling her that her too short skirt has shatnetz — but not telling her it is too short, is a result of subconscious sociological feelings, not proper Jewish response to the issue. (I don’t mean this negatively, just to point out why I think you would react the way you describe.) Do you have any other explanation for the anticipated reaction that you describe? Or do you acknowledge I have a good point.
In the situation we are dealing with, she needs to get out of the public asap and change. Whatever will accomplish that quickest would be the correct avenue.
And she needn’t be embarrassed if she it told it privately, without any bystanders hearing. If you mean she would be embarrassed to find out she is displaying inappropriate material (even with no one overhearing the message), well that is something that needs to be said to her. In fact, she is saved from real embarrassment (on this world and the next) of showing too much if she were not informed.
Bar Nosh: If you’re true concern about “too many Sephardic families are sending their Bochrim to Ashekenazic Yeshivas” was beacause they are losing their “culture”, then why would you bemoan that “very, very few Ashkenazim send their Bochrim Sephardic Yeshivas”? You should be please about the latter, since in your view they would not be losing their Ashkenazic culture.
Torah is Torah, whether in an Ashkenaz Yeshiva or Sephardic. There has been cross-over Yeshiva attendance throughout the ages.
