HaLeVia:
A serious (sub-emergency serious) burn should be cooled for up to 24 hours. I did this twice within a month (one burn was mine, one a child’s) and it was amazing how a terrible-looking and very painful burn improved overnight. Once you have thoroughly had it with standing at the sink, wrap the burn with a wet rag, and keep re-wetting it with cool water. It can help to include a couple of freez-pops (or bag of frozen peas, etc) in your wrapping. I actually put the child to bed with her forearm wrapped, and I went into the room every 20-30 min of the evening to re-wet it. A burn can be painful for many days, but this treatment made all the difference BH. I too got all kinds of weird advice at the time (grated potato, egg, who knows) so figured better to post this than not to.
Time flying is a relative thing. Regarding the same couple of years, when I think of myself it is like a few months but when I think in terms of my kids, one year is forever ago.
So now for the Psak: If you bake cookies for Mishloach Manos and you give them to a friend, especially a newly wed, you have to say, Al Menas Shelo Tehei Lebaalach Reshus Bah.
No. He is actually talking about the positive type of Maarich Betifilaso.
In fact, even Divrei Sofrim are much deeper than that. Shlomo Hamelech gave over a thousand reasons for each one. The difference is though, that when it comes to a Derabanan we do deal with the reason given to apply a Heter to a certain circumstance or to decide if we must reinstate a forgotten Gezeira.
For the OP I wrote my first comment. The attitude that grew from that is what bothered FunnyBone, and is what I came to diffuse. Your second point is valid.
It’s one thing to point out a Maaleh that you like, or that you think someone or someplace excells in. It is quite another to say that this is the place that Davens appropriately. Many other Kehilos’ Minhagim were established by leading Gedolim and by Baalei Ruach Hakodesh. Some of them purposely did not want the Tefilla to be stretched, as the Maharal explained.
Some give from their mind, some from their hearts, some from their attitudes, and some from their time.
The Torah is not a social benefit document. That is for the Rabanan or a present king. The Halacha of a woman not remarrying within three months is, in fact, Derabanan.
If you want discuss how the Mitzvos match social needs, philosophical reasoning or the Shiur Koma, that is fine. You can add reasons, and this has been done. But you must always remember what David Hamelech said, Lechal Tichla Ra’isi Ketz; Rechava Mitzvas’cha Me’od.
So what happens if I tell over my Pshat and once in a while I would stick in something from my Chavrusa, and she likes his Pshat better? Simple answer: as soon as you notice that it’s starting to sound too good, you add, “Ah, Veiberishe Torah.”
Itche, you have a mild imagination. The Satmar Rav zt”l spoke in stronger terms than that.
So, the longer the properlier? Tefilla is not necessarily a Mussar Seder. The Maharal, in Nesiv Ha’avoda Perek 6 has this to say on this topic:
???? ???? ????? ?????? ?? ??? ???? ?????? ????? ?? ?????? ??? ??? ???? ???? ???? ???? ?? ?? ??? ????? ??? ?? ???? ????? ?????? ???? ?? ????? ???? ????:
What kind of Chutzpa is that, to know that your neighbor bakes better cookies and not even bother to ask her to teach how to make cookies like hers!?
The Ramaq writes that if you find something hard to believe, it is fine to hold your belief as long as you don’t make noise about it.
The Mussar tune: Ay yay yay yay yay yaaaaeeeeee…
The strongest terms? Does he think it is as bad as evolution (which he knocks down in the first Maamar)? He says it is foolish and comes from outside. That’s not Mamesh the strongest terms. Besides, as I mentioned other times and hinted to above, he might have held of it as a Sod, like the Ramban, and it is not a regurgitating conscious entity, which is what he was addressing.
By the way, in retrospect, many Maamarei Chazal are only understood with Gilgul, when they say this one is that one. This is where Mekubalim and rationalists meet.
Is that the byline on their website?
How about some snaps? The main weight is supported by the belt, while the snaps avoid the downward slip.
And it answers you as well. If you shut off the intake then it is disconnected from its source.
ROB, if water has such a good memory, why doesn’t it jump out of my cup to get to the clouds? Yes, it’s true that water, while connected, will go back to the same level it came from. This is based on the gravitational force of the rest of the water bearing down on it.
ROB, you don’t know what I know but I do know what you don’t.
Which is it, water pressue or air pressue? I don’t use hot seltzer so I imagine it is water pressure. ROB, you seem to be missing something very essential here. Water pressure means that there is a load of cold water waiting to enter the tank, but can’t because it is full. When I open my hot water valve, hereby releasing some hot water from the tank, that allows in new cold water, which is what pushes out the hot water.
This is the same pressure that drives my cold water up the pipe. If I shut my cold water in the basement, the remaining water in the pipes will not go up because nothing is pushing it anymore. The same goes for hot water.
Only Jewish people have that unique shape or are they the only people who still care if the trousers fall below? What was wrong with hidden suspenders? Are you afraid of being a secret suspenders guy?
You can also cut or sew loops on your shirt or undershirt and sew loops on the inside of the pants and put on an internal belt. Likewise, you can put a zipper on your shirt and pants. In that case, you should wear a belt as well so that the shirt and pants don’t move together like a children’s outfit.
ROB, but on its way to the sink it would change its mind and remember that really it wants to go back to the tank. It would probably figure all this out before starting out and stay right where it is.
Listen Buster,
It’s not your conscious self that gets re-shuffled into another body. That is the concept that Rabbeinu Saadya rejected. Every person born is a new consciousness. The Neshama is something that most people never tune into. One Neshama can have more than one body, or person, under it.
Maybe it has a piston.
Wanting the water to be hot later makes it Nicha but not necessarily Miskaven. However, often one causes the other, as per Tosafos 41b.
He doesn’t say it is not a Jewish concept. On the contrary, he acknowledges that there are such Shitos while he apparently has a (very weak) Kasha on it.
This is besides the fact that Reb Chaim Kenievsky said that it was probably put in by someone other than the Rashash himself. I believe this as well. I think it is unlikely that he would argue on the Gra, or that would would ask this as a Kasha. Also, Baalei Gilgulim a funny term for the post-Zohar period.
I highly doubt Rabbi Miller said that. What I did hear him say is that he’ll follow the example of Chazal and not speak about it. It’s obvious; it did not fit into his area of work. Although he does mention the existance of Kabbalah and the importance of learning it when you are holding at that point, he does not discuss such issues openly.
I knew it!
Popa, are you paraphrasing the Local Frog?
Also, since obviously nobody could have forgotten about this wonderful topic, perhaps some of us came up with more ideas over the past two years.
Sam, how do you find the Rashi?
Shidduchim is like chewing gum. When you try blowing a bubble it comes back and hits you in the face.
Gramma is actualy not Muttar on Shabbos. Perhaps you mean a Gramma She’ein Mis’chaven.
I use the beautiful new prints made available to us through the recent competitive Gemara market. Kinas Sofrim Tarbeh Chachmah.
I think that the reason it doesn’t help to say you wouldn’t have bought it anyhow, is that you can’t trust yourself. Also, your friend would probably also have never bought it, nor his ten friends. Who exactly would buy one when there is a Heter for anyone who “would never” buy it?
Popa, are you saying that a band needs special written permission for each song they will play at a wedding?
Lavud is used to pattur hotzaa on shabbos under 3 tefachim (Shabbos Daf 80).
And to be Mechayev, as in Hotzi Chatzi Grogeres according to Rava.
Popa, you fish in your kitchen!?
Popa, why not? I never heard of an Issur to play and record your music of someone else’s song.
And if yes, what about copying any music through Ho’il?
The only thing you could have done differently is to avoid answering in a Shtickier way. You could laugh as a response, which diffuses tension and sounds like, of course, while hinting that after all you don’t want to get into it.
But like Popa said, talking it out won’t help. It won’t change his mind and it won’t change yours.
We see in Shabbos 9, in Tosafos on the Sugya of Kaveres, that Lavud is applied to Mechitzos differently than the typical as-if-it-landed Lavud.
Don’t you see that the Gemara doesn’t assume she knew better? Rebbe Yehuda mentions the fact that the Chachamim didn’t correct her, which means that it is assumed that she didn’t know on her own. She was not Bruria and we are not learning from her.
Since you aren’t sitting under the shade of the S’chach you won’t build it. If you did build it, it wasn’t for shade. The point is that even if it would help for five minutes a day, you still wouldn’t build it just for that.
The Minhag in Sanz is that the women don’t sit in the Succah. Anyhow, to better answer your question, she didn’t know better. The proof in the Gemara is from the Chachamim and the fact that they didn’t correct her.
I didn’t. I took it out from Rashi. Rashi (Vesuccah Tihye) says that S’chach is only that which is meant for shade. The next Rashi says that the issue is that we don’t need the S’chach. On Amud Beis (Tarti) he writes that the term Succah is only used when it is built for shade.
Rebbi Zeira is saying that since in such a structure the shade is the walls and not the S’chach, the S’chach in this case is not put there for shade.
Perhaps she was a Tzanser.
I don’t get the fright. Halacha does not go out on billboards. They get decided through Tshuvos. You can’t quiet Reb Moshe, no matter hw much noise you’ll make. But there are trends that take affect over time, which I don’t think is anything scary.
WIY, it makes sense that the Torah was referring to such a Succah. However, for that reason, I like my answer more and it seems to be Rashi’s approach.
You can’t buy what you need to be, unfortunately.
