One thing that irks people who daven from the same phone that they may have used for ..
Even if that is a bit extreme ,they surely take it into the bathroom,etc.

Do u take off your tzitis and yarmulka before entering the bathroom?
Theres alot more kedusha in your tzitis then in your smartphone.
Do u bury your smartphone when it breaks?The Rambam enumerates three types of chillul Hashem. The first is when someone refuses to give up his life when called for. The second is when one commits a sin not because he’s driven by his urges but pretty much out of spite.
The third category is what we typically mean when we talk about chillul Hashem: when someone who should know better acts in a fashion that is perceived to be beneath him. In a Talmudic discussion of what would constitute a chillul Hashem, Rav said it would be if he didn’t pay his butcher on time (Yoma 86a). That’s not such a grievous thing but coming from Rav, it reflects badly on Torah scholars. Each of us at our own level is responsible to strive to act upward and not stoop down.
The reason for this mitzvah is gratitude to God. He created us and gave us everything. How horrible would we be to act in a fashion that makes Him look bad and causes people to say, “That’s how Jews act?” or “That’s how religious people act?” The sin of making a chillul Hashem is so serious that the Talmud in Yoma (86a) tells us that neither teshuvah (repentance), Yom Kippur nor suffering can fully effect atonement for a person. A person cannot be fully cleansed of the taint of making a chillul Hashem until he has died.
This mitzvah applies to both men and women in all times and places. It is discussed in the Talmud in the tractates of Yoma (86a) and Sanhedrin (74a-b), and is codified in the Shulchan Aruch in Yoreh De’ah 157. This mitzvah is #63 of the 365 negative mitzvos in the Rambam’s Sefer HaMitzvos and #155 of the 194 negative mitzvos that can be observed today in the Chofetz Chaim’s Sefer HaMitzvos HaKatzar

Its called מצוה הבא בעבירה is a chillul hashem according to everyone especially is it was done in publicIf trump has his way, it will all be changing across the board.
Its a חלול שם שמים בפני כל עם. There is no teshuva for this.
Its not a concept, its a fact
Not conflating anything. It was an outright chillul shem shamayim befarhesya!

R’ Y. Perr of Far Rockaway related once [ if any details are inaccurate,someone correct me]
when he was a boy his father a noted Rabbi ,was called to attend some sort of political event with figures of other religionsAt the conclusion the Bishop stood up to say a prayer and everyone rose as well.
His father remained firmly in his seat and held him in his.
He asked his father afterwards about it. His father replied ‘To stand up would have been a Sha’aleh of Harog V’al Ya’avor’

Whats worse a “shaalah” of y’ahrog v’aal yavor or a “Definite” chillul hashem?Rabbonim in lakewood have get togethets and meetings in one of the local theatres. Is that ok?
Does anyone whether MR. Aron kotler, the ceo of bmg has smicha?
How about Mr. Moshe zev weisberg ,the heaf of the Bmg/Lakewood VaadShopping613 🌠Participant
Of course not. Non-jewish music is detrimental to the soul, even if it’s clean.
I could care less about what anyone else is doing, why should that interfere with my ruchniyus and connection to Hashem?

According to your logic you shouldn’t be reading blogs and commenting ,even kosher ones. Why would you want it interfering with your ruchniyos?iacisrmmaParticipant
Haimy: one cannot separate the ingredients as it is factored into the price. It is like saying why is cole slaw $5.00 a pound but don’t include the cost of the mayo and vinegar in the price.
——————————-
Your correct. However, thay doesnt answer ehy the heimishe Herring makers literally put in a measly 5 pcs. Of herring and mostly oil. Put in more herring and less oil. Oil anf onions doesnt cost 25 dollars a poundFor the same reason kosher cream cheese cost almost 5 dollars not on sale for 8 oz.
Or flanken on bone cost 16 dolllars not on sale. Flanken is known to be the lowest grade meat but peple buy it primarily for chulent because of the fat content and bones. Go figureI know of a yeshiva in lakewood which had a major deficit, to the degree that they couldnt afford paper plates,So the yeshiva served the food straight on the lunchroom tables(which were covered with plastic. Word got out and some nice generous people stepped up to the plate. (Pun intended)

TLIK, how are you in a position to know better than them that it may be appropriate in Eretz Yisroel but not in America? Perhaps your assessment about America is wrong and theirs is right?

There is a Tshuva from the the debrecine ruv that talks about this don’t know mare mekomos, but I do remember that he recalls that when he was a bachur and his sister was helping him fund his going to yeshiva and then once she came to visit and he walked it hte strewets with her and he got it from his Rebbe
—————————————
Just becauae “he got it from his rebbe” is no indication that its ossur.
I Got it from my rebbe” for asking to go to the bathroom.does that mean anything?The Rambam writes:
However, it is degrading for a woman to be always going out, “one time outside and [another] time in the streets” (Mishlei 7:12). A husband should prevent his wife from doing so, and not let her go out more than once or twice a month, as needed. There is beauty in a woman only if she remains in the corner of her house, for it is so written, “kol kevudah bat melech penimah [the honor of a princess is all inward]” (Tehillim 45:14). (translation from R. Henkin’s English book, cited below)Is a yeshiva bachur and his sister walking in the street maras ayin?
————————————-
Assuming this is even a shyla, why is this question reserved only for a yeshiva bochur? Is it ok for a married guy? Is it ok for a non yeshiva bachur? Is it ok for a divorced guy? Please elaborate?To rso:
The rambam also says that a husband should control his wife leaving thier home to to not more then twice a month. Why are you picking only certain rambams. Say it all. Are u following all the rambam has to say?ay 6, 2018 11:11 pm at 11

DY – we’re not looking at 100 boys and 100 girls. We’re looking at one year’s worth of boys at 23 going out with five years’ worth of (younger) girls. I’m all for the new movement to start boys in the parshah at 21. That will cut down the number of ‘extra” girls by almost half.Starting boys earlier may also avoid some going off the derech, too.
_—————————————————-
If as you say that Starting boys earlier may also avoid some going off the derech, too, then what does that say about out chinuch system?
Your basically saying that our chinuch dystem stinks!.We do not generally poskin from a gemara.
Is a talmod chochom allowed to walk with his sister?Is it maris ayin to walk with a male friend too,? Maybe people will think you are involved with a guy !
If controlled mixers/singles events were done under supervision, it would help out . I personally know a handful of older single girls who would never consider them because of yesivish social pressures etc or ess post nisht. I guess being single at 40 does poss. But if they were properly supervised they would consider going.
Joseph . U suggested in another thread regarding polygamy to counter the shidfich crisis. How old should one be to consider it , in your opinion?

If אן אדם מסים עצמו רשע. Then how can one believe his/her story?You may want to check with the Mir if they have hakpodos on how you use their credits.
***********************
Hapados? Are you drunk or deliberate ignoramus?
The mir or any school/ yeshiva has no ownership on a students credits and if they say they do , they can be shut down in a moments notice.A BTL will get u a BTL of coke and a chilli dog for under $10 at most kosher places

“Even Levi Aron can do teshuva.”If he’s insane (Shoita), he doesn’t have to.
————————————
Since there were no witnesses to the crime he allegedly committed, are we allowed to believe the loshon hora about what he allegedly? Im only using the word alleged because min hatorah he needed hasrah snd no one actuallu saw him kill and his own admittance doesnt count min hatorah.Lakewood has the most diverse gemachim. Maybe they have a camera gemach. I know they have phone gemachs, maybe thier phone have cameras on them.
Who gave you permission to go seek out a profession in photography. If hashem wanted you to be photographer he wouldve told u so at at birth and given you a camera at your bris.!
Why are we only concerned about air conditioners?litvishechossidParticipant
Tango- yes but usually people at least read the opening comment to know what the discussion is about. So I remain strong on my point.

“Usually” is the key word. In my experience .
Most do not read unless its in thier face.litvishechossidParticipant
Is it a new trend to quote the whole OP opening comment? I mean we’ll get it even if you just quote the screen name or one or two lines. What’s with repasting the whole opening again for every reply?

!למען שמעו ויראוscrewdriverdelightParticipant
I’m always amazed by how many frum people use air conditioner. Those who are makpid on the best hechsheirim, longest tichels, and most sparkling white shirts suddenly become lenient in using AC, which is completely assur. First of all, it’s a disregard of “V’nishmartem m’od l’nafshoseichem,” as is proven by the exploding air conditioner recently in the news. (Shomeir P’sayim Hasheim doesn’t apply here, either.) Plus, if Hasheim made the weather hot, what right do we have to change that?
I discussed this topic with many prominent rabbanim, but didn’t hear any satisfactory limud z’chus on this widespread “minhag”

What right do u have blogging on a computer? If hashem wanted you to blog he wouldve built a computer into your body. Ot hand delivered one to you on your birthday. Who gave you the right to go get one on your own?
Also what rav gave you the heter to blog?If u got into an accident with a frum person would you go talk to the frum persons rav or rosh yeshiva?
Would u locate his high school rebbe who he was very close to?
Suppose you hit a goy , would you want him to locate your parents,inlaws,rabbeim rosh yeshivos?Are you allowed to daven in a shul which waswas built by a donor whos money is known to be dirty money, ill gotten etc?
Must a shadchan return the money if the engagement broke or is it voluntary?

I was told by a reliable source that it’s 1500 for rebbeim and klei kodesh,
“””””””””””””””””””””””””””
That amount is only if the rebbe or klei kodesh is not taking any government subsities,otherwise how is he different then a plain ball habos who is poorer then a rebbe who is on subsities.Please explain why rabbeim in frum girls highschools are done all the time but a women teacher in a frum high school isnt done.
Shoyld a person suffering from any disease consider learning mussar as a way to remedy that disease ?
Can one be a talmid chochom and an ignaramous simultaneously?

Why would machine matzah remain fresher longer than hand matzah?

Machine matzoh for 1 has an inner sealed plastic and 2, machine matzoh doesnt have any human or non human hands touching them. So no sweat or smell or hairs.Hand matzoh is never dated because who in thier Right mind would buy matzhos baked before chanuka!
