    You’re supposed to learn the halachos of the upcoming Yom Tov starting from 30 days before Yom Tov.

    Being we’re not responsible for the Japanese or Africans, your question would only be pertinent if you would ask about the poor in Israel or those suffering in Klal Yisroel.

    You don’t have as close a relationship with the bus driver as you do with your classmate that you can be working on a project with.

    I quoted the cRc’s April 2011 Starbucks notice.

    ds, From the cRc notice:

    Due to the concerns outlined above, the Av Beis Din, Rav Schwartz shlita, ruled that in a full-service Starbucks one should not consume any item which uses equipment that may have been washed together with non-kosher utensils, but one may be lenient in a kiosk-type store where (as noted) heated non-kosher items are much less common.

    As stated, one may be lenient in a kiosk-type store only. In a regular store, one cannot. And even in a kiosk type store, it is stating that “heated non-kosher items are much less common”. So even in a kiosk type store, some of them do utilize heated non-kosher items.

    Things are only assur if the halacha says they are.

    Are you suggesting that the described scenario is not assur?

    Rav Moshe as well as the Chazon Ish wrote very strongly and very adamantly and very firmly that it is completely forbidden to shake hands. And the Rambam was a doctor who wrote Mishna Torah where it says you must be shomer negiah. So it is certainly true that I am under “doctor’s orders” not to touch.

    I agree with yummy cupcake. If this is the minute and 29 sec video of 5 “yeshiva” bochorim, they certainly dont come across as yeshiva bochorim; purim or no purim.

    You realize that now. You can count on one hand how many Chasanim think that during their engagement.

    I think most people are like that. It’s easier to say you’d have given it up after the fact, or even before you’re engaged. But l’maaisa when you are preparing for the chasuna, somehow it seems everyone forgets their idealism.

    I tell opposite genders I’m under doctor’s orders not to touch others, when I sense an opposite gender wants to shake my hand or is prepared to stretch out a hand.

    Seahorse – A computer programmer is an intellectual position as is an engineer. An accountant is an intellectual position as is a lawyer. If your idea is to look for an intellectual, I don’t understand your point about “finding very very few”, as the fields I mentioned are intellectual, and there are plentiful of frum guys working (or training) in them.

    “truth is i couldn’t find any reason for this popular custom and its definitely not given at the chupah”

    “how about they picked up a good habit from us?”

    That appears contradictory. You’re saying there is no mekor. Then you’re saying the goyim picked it up from us. Since when have we been doing this “minhug”? Apparently since we picked it up from them, if there is no mekor.

    Did our zaida’s have this diamond giving engagement ring tradition 100 years ago and earlier?

    The bigger question is why is it important to you that your spouse be a “doctor/lawyer/engineer”. Why is programmer/accountant/marketing guy disqualified? There are no shortage of frum guys in those, and other, fields. Why is doctor/lawyer/engineer of importance in a spouse.

    Does Reb Moshe’s psak prohibit having a private eruv in one’s own driveway and backyard in Flatbush or Boro Park (like many people do for Succos or year-round)? What halachic reason, if any, would such an eruv be different than a neighborhood eruv? And where would a block-wide eruv fit in according to Reb Moshe?

    That’s quite odd, because *I* just personally met and asked the Posek HaDor about this, and he advised me the bochorim made a Kiddush Shem Shmayim and he envies their schar.

    david1999:

    “It was used as a sociological weapon by the Zalonim against the Aharonim.”

    How can that be if both Rebbes oppose the eruv?

    What’s fictional considering the Divrei Yoel is on the record as opposing the eruv?

    “Alas that is not to be in NY, since there are people who formed a group called hilchos issurei eruvin.”

    And?

    “For starters see to whom this teshuvah, Igros Moshe, O.C. 5:28 is written to.”

    What about them?

    You think Rav Moshe would fall for a bunch of lies or wouldn’t double check the “facts”?

    “I would just add that the majority of the inhabitants of Boro Park do not belong categorically to any one group, hence they carry.”

    What does not belonging to one group have to do with anything, unless you mean the people who use the eruv don’t have a rov. And are you asserting that most B.P. chasidim are not chasidim of a particular rebbe?

    And how does the fact that in Flatbush they follow the Roshei Yeshivos make the people of the neighborhood less amenable to an eruv? And WHY are the R”Y all opposed to the eruv? Did that question cross your mind?

    DY: Then you run into a different potential minefield, since each litigant can insist the B”D be a ZABLA. So if the defendant insists on strict din (and no p’shara) and picks a dayan as such, the plaintiff (who is say demanding money from the defendant) then needs to find a dayan who will accept a non-p’shara case PLUS will be able to come to terms with the other dayan on picking the third dayan who will be willing to accept a non-p’shara case.

    I’m told that many botei din will refuse outright to pasken din, and will tell the ba’alei din that if they refuse p’shara, they can go elsewhere.

    If one of the litigants would prefer not to have the Beis Din trial for whatever reason (as often happens) and he is the one that insists on his halachic right that the ?????? use strict ??? and not use ????, by the botei din refusing to pasken will not motivate him to relinquish his halachic right to insist on strict din and no p’shara, as if the case isn’t heard or paskened he is at no loss — the other party is.

    Would it make a difference in halacha whether or not I have already paid for the labor or parts? And would it make a difference in halacha whether he has returned my car to me or not?
