DY: So the issur is only to drink alcohol where it is served (i.e. a bar), and not a non-alcoholic beverage (i.e. a hotel lounge)?
Daas Yochid:
It’s assur to drink any drink from the hotel’s cups? I thought your citation of S”A was regarding beer specifically. Is the reason it is assur because of the non-kosher nature of the utensil it is poured into?
And how then is it so common for frum people on dates to be ordering drinks from hotels?
How can you drink from the hotel cup they pour the drink into? The cup may have been used for non-kosher.
Someone mentioned to me a Gemorah that says when a couple’s first child is a boy (b’chor), it is signifies the wife loves her husband. Does anyone know the parameters of this Gemorah?
I don’t see a distinction. Christian marriages are a function of the church.
And in either event, I would find it disgusting to imitate it, whether it is a church service (and outright avoda zora as I contend) or if were “only” copying the Christian marriage ceremony.
Well stated popa and DY.
Walking down the aisle came from the church.
If it came from Avoda Zora, how is it possible to do?
What has been around since before the galus?
Where did the Kallah dressing in a white dress come from?
Where did walking down the aisle come from?
Also, who said wearing a form-fitting dress is acceptable? Most frum Kallah’s do NOT wear that B”H.
BTW, as an aside, we have more people becoming newly frum these days, then we probably ever had in history.
We have a very good system and it works.
At the outskirts of Boro Park, towards Bensenhurst.
A frum lady was put in the hospital a few weeks ago by a neighbors dog who ran into her house and bit her and almost got her baby too.
Why would anyone want to be frum
Because Hashem said they should. That is enough reason alone. Even if he/she perceives everything stinks. And saying that’s not good enough reason will get that person a nice hot welcome mat to cook in after all is said and done. So if he/she decides to throw away following Hashem’s commands, it is his/her ultimate loss.
it is a jewish trait to be shy. so a midda can be passive.
Like Daas Yochid, I’m also left scratching my head at Derech HaMelech’s contradictory post. I do though agree that schools and families that allow boys and girls to mix in social settings from when they are no longer very young until they are older, have a higher off the derech rate.
Whether somethings considered Chukas Hagoyim depends on the goy’s intention. Znus (and avoda zora) stuff do fall in that category. And according to at least one poster who works in the industry, denim fashion is designed for znus. If that is indeed the case, then it would be chukas hagoyim (and disgusting) to wear denim.
The borders between US States are pretty straight lines too.
adorable: Any real man wears his clothes two days in a row. So I am assuming you want to make sure he does too.
Discard the immorality that caused the loss. (That;s what sounds like being referred to.) Repentance is always accepted in heaven.
Straddle both sides of which fence cherrybim?
adorable: She wrote so above.
One thing I should point out, and I have no idea what the case is here I speaking in general from what I’ve seen previously, sometimes Poster A makes a general comment saying something is very wrong, and then Poster B who often and happily engages in what Poster A opined is bad, takes personal offense even though Poster A made a general comment not directed at Poster B.
cherrybim: What makes you think that it isn’t going to happen?
gavra:
Why are you still asserting without evidence that the sale was a “low price”, other than accepting at face value the antisemites claim? No one else advanced this canard. You first asserted here it was not the “fair market value”.
Perfect. So mention one.
Since this thread is about Brooklyn, one there that comes to mind is Chaim Berlin.
Now, out of town, this “caters to everyone” school in Detroit (to take one of the towns you mentioned) has students ranging from Satmar to Rabbi Avi Weiss style Modern Orthodox sitting in the same Yeshiva?
Or certain types wouldn’t even feel comfortable living in such frum out of town communities?
And yet, here you are, posting on this forum.
A. She’s a girl, so there is no bitul Torah for her.
B. Even if it were, two wrongs don’t make a right.
Which is why out-of-town school cater to everyone.
In-town you have some schools that “cater to everyone” too.
pba: Out of town you have less choice, and there you too have to fit yourself into whatever the non-choice, or small choices available, is.
GAW, the burden of proof is on you to backup a claim you were the first to make over here, that was only advanced by some local antisemites. On what basis did you accept their claim that it was undersold? Especially considering that you made your claim despite now admitting that you “have no personal knowledge”.
Satmar. 🙂
R. Shrage Feivel was a tzaddik nistar. He refused to be called anything other than Mr. Mendlowitz. Once at a function the emcee called him up to speak and introduced him as Rabbi S. F. Mendlowitz. He refused to come to the podium despite repeatedly being called as such. It was only after the emcee consented to introduce him as “Mr. Mendlowitz” did he come up to speak.
E. Ramapo did get fair market value for the sale. One shouldn’t believe every anti-semitic libel hurled at Jews.
When she enters into shidduchim.
Shrek: Do you also object to those men who wrote halacha seforim discussing the issue (i.e. S”A, etc.)? If something is lacking in one area, it doesn’t justify breaching another.
Itche: Here is Rav Ovadia’s response to Amsalem:
Does that do it?
Hmm, how did a law student have “boring Sundays” all while “working the whole week”??:

Do you have a source for anyone near R’ Ovadiah’s stature (or the gedolim he mentions) who say it’s mutar?
Such a source doesn’t exist.
adorable, much hatzlocha getting your uncle off your case and breaking up with the manager in that store that you got friendly with.
it seems about 30 posts were arbitrarily deleted, making a mess out of the end of the thread. i too think they should be restored.
and more importantly, the posts which were fine, but which were drawing problematic posts from the other side.
Posts which are fine but are objected to by another person are deleted??
if you moved into a house and the people who lived there before left an avoda zora in it, would you be content to leave it there and simply endeavor not to pray to it or pay it much attention?? a tv is an avoda zora and so much worse.
I think there is. I think they have too many boys.
Not really popa. There is a slight number of more boys, but it isn’t anywhere near the degree of the number of more girls in the Litvish world.
We don’t really know what is going on in their marriages.
Which marriages do you know what is going on in??
DY: Actually the initial intelligence leading to Osama’s assassination was gathered in Bush Administration in 2007. That being locating the Osama’s personal courier, which the further intelligence was built upon. Additionally, it is noteworthy that the world’s most wanted man had been tracked down as a direct result of information obtained from Guantanamo detainees. Yup, the torture worked.
Goq, what kind of grief has your brother given you (other than what you mentioned about his daughter)?

I was on the way to vote in the Sept. 11 primary and just before I went into the public school someone said a plane crashed into the WTC. I assumed it was a small plane and an accident. After voting, on the way home I saw smoke coming from Manhattan’s direction and realized it must be pretty bad.
