Since your weight is causing the elevator to use more electricity, I don’t see a “Shabbos Elevator” being much different than going into a standard elevator and pushing the button for your floor on Shabbos.
Sam: The Rama doesn’t required the wine be what puts you to sleep??
It’s musser haskel. Even if a majority of the klal are engaged in sin, a vast majority can be all wrong and punished (even destroyed r’l, if necessary).
Don’t follow the majority. Do what’s right.
It’s amazing that German Jewry has a comparitavely higher holocaust survival rate, despite the fact they were literally in Hitler and the Nazi ym’s’ lions den.
Kind of like Achashveirush’s party. We were not supposed to go there even though the food prepared for us was 100% Kosher. Kind of the same reason, correct?
That’s the wrong way about it. We don’t first decide what we want to do, and then go researching for sources to support what you want to do.
Prague had a wall then.
Does the current Rebbe shlita give eitza’s in medical inyanim the same as his father zt’l (who was niftar about 10 years ago) used to?
Syag, thanks for your clarification. But HOW will you check that the story is correct (re: a molester or killer)? What about Levi Aron? Did you base your knowledge of what he did on media reports? How is that different than here? How do you know someone is really a molester? Do you ask a Rov?
With DF she is standing up in public and making all her statements loud and clear, directly and unambiguously.
I dont think you are allowed to interrupt Shemone Esrei, even if your wife is ringing you in her 9th month.
Syag, do you consult with a posek before hating a child molester? Before hating a child killer?
There are many later Mincha minyanim based upon RT’s zman for shkia.
Who put out this $250,000 figure for the mechitza alone?
Until the veracity of that number can be ascertained this entire discussion is useless.
Well, that’s a big if, 646. If they deem that a right they’ll facilitate it. But in all likelihood they won’t deem that right unless she agrees to follow the halachic process for the entire process.
A Ptur is not a Get. The Get can be done without a BD.
No you don’t. All that’s needed is for a Sofer to write it, and for him to give it to her. It does not need to be certified by BD.
What you mean is that you want BD to issue a Court Order against him to give it to her. BD doesn’t issue orders as a “service”.
Davening for DF’s early demise is a mitzvah.
646 – why does she need BD altogether? Let her go directly to a Sofer and pay to write a Get.
Latest time to arrive for Shachris is just before “Boruchu”; earliest to take off Tefilin is immediately after Ashrei U’vu Letzion.
The most effective way is to overstay a tourist visa. Then lay low, and no one will bother you. And eventually they’ll be an alien amnesty, sooner or later, that’ll legalize your status.
Gatesheader: According to your reading, both stam a goy who led a simple life of being a bum (but not super bad) and Hitler would get the same punishment. That makes little sense. Like I paraphrased the godol above, Hitler is still – and always will be – getting punished over and over 1 Million times worse for every Jewish finger nail he annoyed.
AOM: You don’t think Hitler is getting off pretty easy now, do you.
AZ, most shidduchim are done by non-professional shadchanim. Even if NASI encourages professionals to push close in age shidduchim, most shidduchs will still not be affected by this effort.
Gavra, there is a chiyuv to have children that isn’t abrogated. And besides, no one can stop anyone else.
yichusdik, it is most unfortunate that when a liberal doesn’t like a portion of the Torah he starts yelling Taliban.
Was this (that a certain percent of frum girls didn’t have anyone left to marry) a problem in the ’70’s, or did it develop later than that?
baby: The halacha is that the wife accepts all her husbands minhagim. The husband must keep all his minhagim and mesora.
AZ and DY: What are your thoughts on my two comments?
(JFTR, I didn’t start this thread. The OP disappeared.)
Gatesheader: Why would destruction of the soul be a greater punishment than eternal gehenim? Hitler murders 6 million Yidden and causes the suffering of tens of millions of others, so his soul just gets destroyed and viola? Eternal gehenim, with constant unending punishment over and over forever is far worse, and how I heard Rav Miller describe Hitler’s punishment. He specifically said he isn’t destroyed and finished.
Rambam writes of various scenarios when contemporary Beis Din would beat someone to force compliance with halacha.
As far as the hard numbers are concerned, at one time in our history, and in some communities not all that long ago, men sometimes had more than one wife. And I do not recall any halachic responsa or literature expressing any concern that this was resulting in some men being unable to get married (since other men were marrying more than one girl, thus leaving insufficient girls for other unlucky men.) It would thus seem logical that there were always more girls in the shidduch supply than boys, throughout our history.
Did it occur to anyone that, perhaps – just perhaps, Hashem designed the world so that boys generally have the upper hand in shidduchim? It seems to have been like that since time immerorial in the Jewish community. Just look back at our history and consider how dowries worked, where the girls side would need to provide the boy a dowry. And it’s called Hachnosos Kallah; for some reason it wasn’t generally known as Hachnosos Chosson.
People have a first amendment right to tell someone something, or even to yell. Constitutionally protected speech. You can see protesters and counter-protesters almost face-to-face, with police in between, yelling obscene comments at each other with no one getting arrested for verbal harassment.
Beis Din today is authorized by halacha to do so, but obviously cannot do so under non-Jewish rule and law (by force of the gentiles.) If the secular authorities empowered Beis Din to carry this out, they could do so today. Many times in Jewish history the non-Jewish authorities gave the Jewish community jurisdiction over fellow Jews to mandate Torah law.
For the very same reason today if a Beis Din orders a husband to issue his wife a divorce and he refuses, though they are empowered by halacha to beat him into submission — including in golus here in modern times, they simply cannot do so due to gentile law. Not too long ago, BD did have authority from the goyim to enforce their rule.
He makes those gehenim and apikorus comments to get attention for his posts.
Take away their hechsher.
Some (but probably not most) Torah authorities hold it is wrong to have because it gives the Satan an argument why a person who is living on the merits of his families financial relying on him, no longer needs to remain alive on their merit since they are financially covered by the insurance.
Let’s hear it, YaakovL.
It isnt true. It was falsified by the chilonim to give a bad name to frum Jews.
She wrote that her boyfriend is Roman Catholic.
