The Shulchan Aruch says, l’halacha, to stay “far far away from girls”. It also says no amount of precautions against arayos is too many.
Dr. Pepper why are you gone?
Are we devoid of life that causes the wife fright?
What can we do to her convince?
To give you a permission slip to stay?
Sam: RYBS viewed attending services in mixed pews as Yehareg Val Yaavor. Dressing provocatively is surely much worse.
Sam: Looking provocative naturally leads to arayos and falls into the arayos category.
If the doctor has an open herpes sore, there is something like an 90+% chance that he will transmit it to the baby.
Mohelim don’t do a bris with an open herpes sore. Bad comparison.
And babies almost never die by circumcision nowadays.
And babies almost never die by metzitza nowadays. Except in the bubbe maaisas spread by the anti-religious without coraborration.
arayos is yeherog val yaavor.
The infant mortality rate is generally describing babies dying in childbirth. Not thereafter, i.e. Bris.
And forget 3500 years. We’ve been practicing metzitza successfully for the past 50 and 100 years in “advanced” America. And in those 100 years, all the anti-religious have are less than a handful of uncoraborated stories from the last 5 years or so that they keep repeating. As if they keep saying the lie enough times it somehow becomes true.
I thought these things are like a placebo. These things dont do anything + or -.
Sam, maybe mo. I never saw or heard about any Chareidi community where it is acceptable.
Sam2, a couple holding hands in public is almost unheard of and entirely unacceptable in any frum community. (I dont know much about mo; perhaps some of them do it.) Also, choson / kalla dancing at a wedding (or any couple) is not done, except at a late mitzva tantz.
I have a great uncle, a emes tzadik, who only eats food his rebetzin prepares ALL year round.
What ended up happening with the 80% left behind? Did they simply assimilate into the Egyptians?

Even though the S”A lived in E”Y, he still paskened like Rabbenu Tam who lived in France. Which is interesting, because Maran saw with his own eyes exactly how fast the Shkia is in Israel and was still steadfast to the Rabbenu Tam shitta.
What greed? The children are being taught to help others by collecting tzedakah for others, they aren’t collecting for themselves. The mitzvah is tremendous.
As far as during davening, when else can they reach out to so many people? They are collecting for desperate, less fortunate people. Besides the mitzvah being tremendous, lets not forget we would much rather be the one facing an outstretched hand, than being the one stretching out our hand.
With Chasidim, also, every adult (13+) makes his own kiddush.
Perhaps someone who becomes unwell from a bit of wine, has a heter to not get drunk on a Purim. A shaila could be asked.
They are a small community.
Drive slower.
Exercise or go for walks.
There’s gotta be some way to determine it, since many halachas are different depending whether you are in or outside of Eretz Yisroel.
Rashi wrote his peirush at least three times that were all lost (in his lifetime). Only his last compilation survived. Though he didn’t complete the meforesh on all the Gemoras during his last compilation.
With the scholarship or without? Including mandatories, like dinner, or excluding?
Probably the French burning of seforim r’l.
Why would Damascus not be considered chutz?
Not all frum German Jews are Yekkes, though I’m not sure what the others are considered minhag-wise.
One of the great Halachic misconceptions is thinking that the Rema says to go to sleep.
HaLeiVi:
So what does the Rema really say?
If she hasn’t been religious since she is 12, it is impossible that she converted. You must accept being religious in order to have a proper geirus.
If she is adopted, she was probably born as a gentile. Since she isn’t religious, she may not even be Jewish since she never had a religious conversion after age 12.
Eliyahu Hanavi also never died.
Mason can do teshuva until his dying breath.
It is a private bus operator, who does not receive one red cent from the city or any government agency. In fact, they PAY the city $22,000 a year for driving the route. A private bus has a constitutional right to adhere to their religious leaders religious beliefs.
Also, the passengers enforce the seperation, not the driver or bus company. The driver has no obligation to involve himself in conversation or interactions between passengers. In fact it would be dangerous for him to do so while driving.
Their rabbonim said they should have a mechitza. Who are we to dare question the rabbonim shlit”a, even if some of us may have a different shitta.
yossi: why do they think Reb Menachem Mendel zt’l didn’t pass away if they believe the Baal HaTanya and the Frierdika did pass away?
You need to judge to know who is greater and whom to follow.
It’s pretty logical. If you can’t rate, you wouldn’t know Rav Elyashev is the godol hador. If you couldn’t rate, you wouldn’t even be able to say Rav Elyashev is greater than your corner rabbi. Even that is judging levels.
Thanks yossi. Just to understand, what does having or not having a successor have to with being or not being Moshiach?
Also, are you saying he was only pegged as Moshiach (which already was being said during his lifetime) after it was obvious he wouldn’t have children? A previous poster on this thread said he was in the Lubavitch Yeshiva 50 years ago and they were already calling him Moshiach back then.
I feel stuck.
Is the last rebbe considered greater than all the previous Lubavitcher Rebbes, that the last rebbe is considered Moshiach (by some) but the all the previous Lubavitcher Rebbes are not considered to be Moshiach?
Sam2:
How was gregaaron’s response inaccurate?
Why do the yechiniks think the most recent rebbe is Moshiach? Why don’t they think the Baal HaTanya is Moshiach? Or that the second Luvavitcher Rebbe is Moshiach? Or the Frierdika Rebbe is. Why davka the most recent?
So open your own. It doesn’t have to be davka this shul.
