shmoelMember
I strictly follow Shulchan Aruch L’shem Shamayim to get stone drunk on Purim.
I wonder if the people that DON’T get stone drunk are not getting drunk l’shem shamayim or they are simply afraid of fulfilling the obligation and mitzvah to get stone drunk and are thus looking for excuses and kulas to not get stone drunk.
If they would at least get plain drunk, even if it wasn’t stone drunk, I might be able to understand. But if they don’t get drunk AT ALL on Purim, they are likely just looking for an excuse to not fulfil their OBLIGATION and MITZVAH to get drunk.

shmoelMemberWho isn’t makpid to say Erev Shabbos or Leil Shabbos? Almost everyone I know is and does.
shmoelMemberYC: PBA is correct. The S”A does say until you are so crazy drunk you can’t even tell the difference between blessing Mordechai or cursing Haman.
shmoelMemberyummy: Halacha says it is an obligation to get stone drunk on Purim. Yes, halacha says that in black and white. Current halacha. Like Shulchan Aruch. What’s so hard to understand?
soliek: All the doros managed and we do too, with that.
shmoelMemberIt’s the 2% we need to worry about.
shmoelMemberYou may, or are even possibly obligated to, kill a moser even bzman hazeh.
shmoelMemberTelling a bochor to work during bein hazmanim is akin to telling a working man to take a part-time job during his 2-3 weeks of vacation days from his employment.
shmoelMemberOne of the reasons for not mishing on Pesach is that there soo many different legitimate minhagim and chumros on Pesach that people don’t have all year, that it is very likely your friend or neighbor has certain Pesach customs that are not in accordance with your own.
shmoelMemberWhat does Shulchan Aruch say?
shmoelMemberMaybe you can just make an automated machine to replace the mohel doing mbp (or even bris milah itself, if possible!) After all, the only reason they didn’t use a machine for thousands of years is because there were no machines.
shmoelMemberWhy cant someone open a new bakery and sell it for half the price?
shmoelMemberAdopt the very succesful takanos from Gateshead.
shmoelMemberIs there a threshold of minimally giving?
shmoelMemberIts a mitzvah to be as drunk as possible on Purim.

October 31, 2011 12:58 pm at 12:58 pm in reply to: Older Guys = Rip-off Rant (re: NASI "Game Changer") #822819shmoelMemberOP: Your advice in a nutshell is it is better for older girls to settle into lifetime of singlehood.
shmoelMemberOneOfMany: We don’t discard a posuk in the Torah (fire and brimstone) because goyim use it in a messed up way.
Josh: Beis Din could execute 100 people in one day, if necessary.
Sam: See the Mussar Seforim. I’m sure you don’t advocate discarding them. They are FULL of very scary consequences for what might even seem like “minor” aveiros to some.’
shmoelMemberI don’t know, or care, who Dante was, but “Fire & Brimstone” is a verse from the Torah.
shmoelMemberSam: It was a joke.
shmoelMemberAt one time there was racial segregation of restrooms. And gender segregation of restrooms. The racial segregation has been deemed illegal. The gender segregation is still legal. And women are not classified as a minority under the law.
October 28, 2011 1:14 am at 1:14 am in reply to: Do Online Halachic Discussions Cause Some to be Nichshal in Aveiros? #868048shmoelMemberMuch worse than online halachic discussions are online personality discussions and online Jewish political discussions and online machlokes discussions, all of which entail sheker, loshon hora, rechilus, and/or motzi shem ra as well as a host of a whole lot of other extremely serious aveiros, in virtually all such discussions and stories.
Both by participating in the discussion or even by merely reading it passively without active participation.
October 28, 2011 12:59 am at 12:59 am in reply to: Do Online Halachic Discussions Cause Some to be Nichshal in Aveiros? #868047shmoelMemberThe CR is open to the hamon hoam and the uneducated easily gullible masses.
October 28, 2011 12:54 am at 12:54 am in reply to: Nasi Project has a new approach, I hear. Is this a nasty rumor? #823868shmoelMemberWhere did you hear this, OfCourse?
The part about paying more the older she is doesn’t sound likely to be the case, since NASI specifically wants to help the older girls.
shmoelMemberWhat does AYeCo, in the title, mean?
shmoelMemberThere is no legitimate reason to segregate by race. There is good legitimate reason to segregate by gender. Thus one is discrimination and one is not.
shmoelMemberPlease let us all know which establishment this is, so we should avoid eating from it.
shmoelMemberThere is nothing in SA that says 73:1’s admonitions for her to not go outside (Rambam says once or twice a month is good but SA just says not too much) becomes inapplicable if she otherwise will accept tzedaka.
shmoelMemberIt’s good you’re not a man. Otherwise you’d need to be in shul all (or most) of the day.
shmoelMember0.
(The toast is good.)
shmoelMemberAn article on OU.org says some figures put it at 50% of mo teens. You don’t seriously believe the numbers are remotely in that ballpark by the ultra, do you?
October 2, 2011 4:13 pm at 4:13 pm in reply to: source for not buying stuff for a baby before its born needed #813825shmoelMemberHow do you even know boy or girl?
shmoelMemberIf they don’t make an impact, why do a lotta folks here get all riled up and unwound whenever they hit the news? And why does this site have a dime a dozen stories about their activites every Monday and Thursday?
shmoelMemberAssyria was more where Syria is today, not Turkey.
shmoelMemberReform also started out by justifying their actions under “legitimate halacha”.
shmoelMemberArtscroll is one of the foremost compilations of historical facts in the Jewish world.
shmoelMemberWhatever you want to call it, moser and rodef are entirely inapplicable regarding them. It is simply twisting the terms.
shmoelMemberNo one should tell friends they are dating or about to get engaged.
shmoelMemberIf you sleep, it sleeps away your mazal for the year?
shmoelMemberBut if you wake up very early (after alos) you shouldn’t turn over and go back to sleep for another few hours.
shmoelMemberHaleivi: I disagree. It is very much possible to be mochel someone who neither seeks it nor cares that he wronged you.
shmoelMemberIn post-war America too.
shmoelMembergavra: does SA say not to take tzedaka? SA says they shouldn’t go out the house much. It’s obvious from SA to rather take tzedaka than go out.
apy: The CC’s store was in the back of his house. She didn’t have to go out. And the SA is 73:1.
shmoelMemberBut it does help to have a tzadik speak to Hashem on your behalf.
shmoelMemberWho cares wha the hamon hoam’s reply is? We know what Shulchan Aruch says. The fact their are extenuating circumstances that unfortunately make women leave their home, does not make it anywhere near the ideal.
shmoelMemberWhat do girls like about flowers?
shmoelMemberJust get married and you’ll be done!
shmoelMemberWell said OP.
A woman’s place is at home.
That’s what Shulchan Aruch, the Jewish code of law, says.
September 25, 2011 1:53 pm at 1:53 pm in reply to: Where There’s A Will, There’s A Violation What The Torah Wants? #812379shmoelMemberWolf – regarding life insurance benefits, I dont think the halachas of inheritance apply, since the benefits were never your during your lifetime.
September 25, 2011 1:25 pm at 1:25 pm in reply to: Where There’s A Will, There’s A Violation What The Torah Wants? #812377shmoelMemberNone of the kosher WIC grocers that I know sell non-CY milk.
