    actually the gemara also says ha’ochel bashuk domeh lakelev. i would also like to point out that the fact that it grabs mens attentions is the litmus test. someone posted b4 that we shouldnt be looking – fakert! ( i dont mean we should be looking lol) if its grabbing attention we’re not trying to look- it’s in our faces- which is a general guideline for whats not tznius.

    enough of the grammar police! it’s getting annoying to post in here; you have to look over your shoulder. please leave us alone- we can decipher posts our own without your comprehensive expertise sending us back to 6th grade. i’m not trying to attack or be mean but enough is enough.

    i think this is one of the most difficult topics ever posted. the first time i read the OP my reaction was to just type chill. then i thought more and realized that today maybe its not safe to chill. then i read it again and thought”AHHHH!!” big sakonoh. then i thought “chill it was a mock wedding”. in conclusion this doesnt appear to be a standard troll post. i would say it requires hadrachah from a real, experienced moreh derech or mechaneh. not the 30 year old shnuk round table kind, a real rosh yeshiva.

    i think any1 chewing gum on the street is boorish.as an aside my mother once tried to redd a shidduch- after giving glowing info on a special girl the mother had one question,”does she chew gum?”

    my mother, utterly astounded, answered,” I dont know if she chew gum. But i do.”

    the reason ehy yeshivos in EY go faster is because theyvce never heard of cris colombus and cant name four elements on the periodic table. their entire curriculum is learning. youre coming from high school. your computer literate and just finished regents. maybe going slow will clear your head of 10 years of limudei chol.

    Halevi and GAW- please dont tell me you thought i meant not holding hands in the street. what i meant was that GAW said that there are harchakos and people shouldnt be ablew to tell. thats not true. you cant let on your matziv through public affection- but you can pass the phone.

    first tell me what kefira aristotle held of then ill prove to you about R Schwab. joking. but point is why isnt a gadols written word, not heard third hand but his writings, not good enough for oyu? Why do you need to hear kefira to believe theres something wrong. do nyou make the expert in the shatnez lab show you the shatnez?! or do realize hes the qualified expert and not wear the suit, even if it fits.

    as a mashal- i know this is an exageration- its meant to drive home the point of having yiddish sensetivities- wearing shorts to kol nidrei on yom kippur isnt ossur, right? but you still wouldnt do it. sensetivities.

    alot of people in here base their opinions on persoal life experiences and their own journey.you kno who you are. fact is its an association. just like maybe people with bushy eyebrows and a long nose are assumed to be mean. its a siman not a siba, what? but i still think it looks crude and grubbe.

    when youre a little older youll understand a little better what your rabbeim wanted from you and why it made sense. i understand your taaneh. give it time and keep at it and keep chazering. learn b’kius on your own (not shidchiyus- r shach in michtavim shrays against that,too) and learn seriously. youll remember and youll be surprised how much ground you can cover

    no offense to everone, but i think that a double standard is in place here. everyone here is ready to shrei chay vikayum about what certai gedolim said about derech halimud. (fine thats ok- even though i pointed out b4 that the gedolei north america have a way bigger haracha of R shach then we do and theyre still doing it so perhaps they might thought this through b4 allowing the masses to learn like this) its funny to point out that other things gedolim said seem to get brushed aside. i like to illustrate with the Chazon Ish ztl. Everyone knows the famous maaseh of how a top brain surgeon couldnt figure out a complicated surgery and when the Chazon Ish was asked he gave a simple solution that astonished all doctors involved. people hear this one and say wow ruach hakodesh, thats a gadol, he mustve been something. then they hear that the same man said that giyus bonos and sherut leumi is literally yaharog vi’al ya’avor and the response is..ya…well…he was extreme…we dont think so..etc. If you want to change systems and turn over north america(which im not saying is a bad thing) then dont pick the shittos that fit your agenda, rather, adhere to everything R shach said. and good luck with that, its not so easy

    80- the gedolim didnt hold he erred. rather that wjat he did was a horaas shah. which doesnt apply to his actual hashkafa.

    i would propose that the rambam didnt praise aristo; solely his chochma. the rambam probably was also on the madreiga to be able to separate the negative hashpaos from the chochma itslef. to go nowadays into goyish halls of study where the ruach of tumah and kfirah permeates is alot more dangerous, especially for someone on our level

    the baalei mussar say that hte reason that certain mitzvos are kept by the frei ie pesach yom kippur milah and a few others is either because the frum keep it stringently and that makes a hashpa’ah (not the ‘them seeing it and getting a hashpa’ah, rather a haspa’a m’lima’aleh) so the frei do to. or its the actual ntrinsic kedusha of these specific mitzvos that saves the frei from abandoning them and draws them to these mitzvos

    R’ chaim ozer grodzinsky- clearly the posek of his dor and assumed “chareidi” called R hirsch a tzaddik gomur and that he was to the yekkish community what the sanzer ruv was to his. R yisroel salanter said that R hirsch was a gadol in nigleh and nistar. I would call that a haskomo, not that one is needed, from undisputed gedolei hador. i urge anyone who isnt clear on R hirsch hashkofo and ideal way of life to read his biography by artscroll. it will clear up a lot of your uncertainties.
