Josh: That’s incorrect. Almost none of the jobs require working 7 days a week. Once can choose Shabbos as one of their two off days.

IT systems also runs 24/7. Yet the tens of thousands of frum IT professionals do not work on Shabbos.

mdd: So then why did Rambam allow it? And why did Rav Yaakov Emden allow it?

yytz: Rav Yaakov Emden wasn’t the only one that allowed that. Ramban (and others) permitted it too.

comp777: A woman is obligated to fulfill her household duties before so-called “learning” what she is not required (at best) to learn.

Curiosity: I don’t mean the same ones as the Arabs. I mean something not too different. And as I said, it is paskened halacha l’maaisa for various (mostly Sefardishe) Kehillos.

WM: So what? Poskim disagree on things across the spectrum. For those that follow those poskim, obviously their wives shouldn’t wear such a covering. For those that follow the poskim I referred to earlier, they should.

Rav Ovadia Yosef shlita holds that sheitels are assur and married women should wear a tichel (or something of that sort.) Does that mean poskim who allow sheitels think Rav Ovadia took tznius too far? Of course not. And if they do feel that way, so what. Rav Ovadia has a right to have his halachic opinion and they have a right to have their halachic opinion.

Oh please, yitayningwut. What’s your point about mentioning being in BMG, when we all know your hashkofos (if not halachas) are the polar opposite from BMG. Whether your reliance on the extreme kulos of Rabbi Abadi (I know his former affiliations too) that the Yeshiva communities doesn’t even come close to using, whether on eating foods without a hashgacha based on reading the ingredient list or the myriad of other issues you’ve often mentioned here where you take a very liberal view of things.

The Aruch Hashulchan in Choshen Mishpat 388 does NOT allow reporting it to the authorities.

Chacham: I understand your comment to indicate that the Meor Hashabbos says Rav Elyashev holds opening a refrigerator is assur on Shabbos. Correct?

Mods: I want to post a very lengthy translation of some meforshim. They weren’t approved a few days ago, since it was too long. Is there anyone who could approve it if I repost it?

Thank You

Wolf: Why do you fail to mention the most relevant fact that your mother was the only parent figure at the table?

yytz: And wives are supposed to fear their husbands and treat him as a King. (As Rambam and many others mention.)

Can a King allow anyone else to sit on his throne?

Goldenpupik: Like 557 said, that is boich svara. I’ll start another thread to explain to you the Torah’s view on the relationship between husband and wife.

Did you “learn” what happened to Bruria?

MorahRach: In order to be able force a husband to give a divorce in Judaism, there has to be a halachicly valid “cause” that the Torah recognizes that one can demand a divorce for.

From the Rabbonim and counselors who deal with divorces frequently: Most divorces were avoidable. Marriages are being disposed of at a rapid rate in a disposable society.

After that comment, one thing I can certainly say to Bustercrown: You have a much better husband than anon1m0us.

Really, Sam? Which Rambam says “she never really turned into salt”? I never saw it, but it could be I overlooked it I suppose. Mekor?

Sam: Correct. Mutually they can agree to. (Whether it is a good idea even if it is mutual is another question. It isn’t necessarily.) Though, the OP seems to indicate it is not mutually desired but rather one-way, hence my above point.

Your argument is based on incorrect assumptions:

note that a)her husband and rav know that she covers her hair this way (dan l’chaf zchus – you must assume this for a stranger) and b)she is following her husband or rav’s opinion, even if it is wrong (again, you must assume she is following an opinion because of dan l’chaf zchus combined with the knowledge that there are rabanim, even if wrong, who say that covering the hair less than fully is fine). There are entire communities whose rav does not correct them on this (again, I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, I’m saying that they rely on their rav).

Firstly, I’m not limiting my issue with hair covering. It is much much much worse and more than that. It is dressing with the knees and above showing in public in the street (either the hemline is literally above the knee or it is short enough to rise above the knee when she walks, goes up stairs, goes into a car, or other routine daily activities); it is dressing in very tight clothes; etc. And even as far as hair, very often more shows than any shitta ever allows.

And her husband, yes. And he is almost equally guilty as she is, especially if he is taking no action — or worse, encouraging — her illegal behavior.

Her Rov, possibly or probably not. (Being dan lkaf zchus he doesn’t know she is sinning.)

Who decided Rav Moshe is a bigger posek than Rav Belsky? Or than the posek Rav Yankel Shmankel?

We can compare “levels” – in fact, we need to in order to judge who is an authority in the first place! If you can’t comapre levels then how are you to know that someone is a godol? The fact that he is “accepted” as a godol only means that many people have judged his “level” to be that of a godol. But if you cannot compare levels, then these people have no right to accept him as a godol in the first place. And the same common sense that tells you so-and-so stands out among his peers making him an authority, tells you that certain so-and-so’s stand out even more. Or less.

Part of knowing who to follow is to know who is greater. Godol mimenu b’chochma ubaminyan is an assessment that it legitimately made. And as Rav Shach writes – if you dont know who to follow, follow whoever is greater – and, he adds, you can of course tell who is greater.

And of course there is no chance that an aishes ish will heed tochachah from a complete stranger that her head isn’t covered enough or not covered in the proper manner. So it is settled.

Incorrect. There is every chance she will heed the Torah once advised that she is acting improperly. Yidden, even when sinning, generally don’t want to be a sinner.

If one knows in advance that his tochacha will go unheeded, he is not obligated to go through with it.

That is 100% correct. And if he does not know it will go unheeded, and certainly if there is even a small chance it will be heeded, he is obligated to give the tochacha.
