Many rabbanim who don’t know week just assur it. That’s what many people want anyway. Others are waiting to see what people do and then issue their ruling accordingly. That’s why some flip flop year to year.
Actually, if you ask rabbi Belsky, he will tell you that you’re in the middle of nowhere, you can buy plain bagels in any store.
No, they wouldn’t. They would just put up a “Sorry, no more muffins.”
To do otherwise would be risking their entire business.
Other than the government, you don’t mess with a franchiser. They will destroy you if you cross them.
Why would you think a worker would switch a muffin for a non-kosher one?
The kashrus organizations are trying to make us forget that halachically we are not worried about half the things we worry about.
Why isn’t coffee or chocolate considered kitniyos?
daniela, Just a question, are you aware that peanuts and peanut products were kosher for Pesach and widely available, and indeed R’ Moshe says that peanuts are NOT kitniyos. I wonder why people “didn’t ask a rav” and decided that peanuts are kitniyos.
While keeping minhag is fine, Pesach also has a “competitive” (for lack of a better word) part to it. There is a thing called Chumra creep and it might not be the best thing in the world. We’ve seen it over the past 50 years with tefillin and kashrus and maybe people want to stop it from getting too much.
1) It’s not chametz.
2) It’s not kitniyos because:
a) It’s a berry.
b) We are not allowed to add on to a gezeirah.
3) The only reason why American corn (maize) is considered kitniyos is because European corn is 100% chametz (it’s oats, barley, etc.)
Totally free. I suggest you check out their “10 Minute Halacha” series. It gives you a good chunk of details and facts in 10 minutes or less on any assortment of topics.
Red wine is usually not refrigerated. Also, open the bottle and let it air before.. serving
If it happened in Lakewood shouldn’t the question be asked to a rabbi in Lakewood?
It’s called Trespass to Chatel and it is most certainly actionable.
Although a rav I spoke with once said that it’s preferable under halacha to either smash the car out of the way or have it towed and not even deal with civil authority.
You can go back earlier than Yaakov. In Chayei Sarah, Yitzchok saw Rivkah and it sais “he loved her.”
Just go to Brooklyn College, it’s much cheaper and you’ll have the same Beis Yaakov (or yeshiva if you’re a guy) experience as Touro.
oh brother, what he, and others in his situation, should do is take their family and waltz into their rabbis house and tell them their moving in. If enough people get through to their leaders, maybe their leaders will listen to them and not only to their handlers.
ZD, the Prohibition Amendment clearly spelled out religious exemptions, so it was not necessary to go to the First Amendment.
As far as underage drinking, the First will not help. Religion may trump some laws, but it doesn’t trump personal safety laws.
It’s a common myth that the Arabs were all friendly with us until Zionism. Contrary to Satmar/NK, the Arabs were not the best people to be subjugated under.
Shein, you keep mentioning welfare, especially in the US, but the US has enacted welfare reform years ago. A person cannot be on welfare his whole life. It’s now illegal, and if you just want to sit all day and watch TV you’ll see that eventually you will stop getting your welfare checks.
It’s one thing to be in favor of Charedim sitting and learning all day, but it’s quite another to not even see that the other side has extremely valid points. I bet if you acknowledge those points and try to work it out, it will be a lot easier. People who don’t even get acknowledged are far less likely to work with you to resolve an issue. It’s time for the Charedi leaders to act like leaders and realize there is a communal problem of money.
Forget about driving, what happens if a kid gets sick?
So, Eisav soneh es Yaakov only applies to Charedim, like Weberman, Rubashkin, etc. But when it comes to Zionists, then the reason why the arabs hate us is because of the Zionists??
It’s really sad when you read comments here from people who clearly could use some proper education in the subject and not the bits and pieces they pick up in yeshivah.
He didn’t turn down his pension.
Well, if he was the first one to go around and make standardized spellings and it was followed after he did it, then it stands to reason that he got it correctly. I’m not sure why someone would then decide to change spellings, even if they feel it might be more grammatically correct, it’s irrelevant. They are changing the way people spelled things for many years and are introducing doubt in the way cities are spelled.
How were gittin done before BMG setup shop?
Interesting side fact, Isaac Leeser went around and setup the proper spellings of US cities so that gittin (and other documents) would be uniform. I’m not sure why, but many people, most often chassidim, decided to change some of the established spellings.
Your other spouse. That one always causes fights.
I would say such a person is indeed not ready to get married.
You can always tell them that their davening is most likely not making it past the roof of the bus if they are being inconsiderate to the women on the bus.
Confucious,
Please prove it. Everything that I’ve seen shows otherwise.
OorahScam is merely one millimeter above the Israeli-Tzedakah scams.
As pointed out above, if you give money to a local day school, they can have more non-frum children enter on scholarship, besides reducing your own tuition. Personally, I don’t like kiruv at all, but that might just open up a can of worms.
What’s the point of wearing a costume if the women are chained to the kitchen anyway?
As far as I remember, wearing white is not ancient at all. It is fairly recent, with Queen Victoria bringing it to the masses.
And, just for the record, the first mainstream Jewish school for girls was not Beis Yaakov, but Yavneh.
Once you do the chukas hagoyim custom of bridesmaids, you might as well go even further into chukas hagoyim and have the bride wear a white gown.
I presume, not assume, most frum Jews in the US pay a lot more than $120 a month for educating their kids.
They need to be sent to the Gulag right away for re-education.
I was on my cellphone walking and I just returned a rental car, so I was checking my pockets to make sure I didn’t leave anything. I could not find my phone in my pocket and started to get nervous that I left my phone in the car. It took a second or two to realize that I was actually using the phone and it was safely near my ear.
IF the whole class is actually on your side then you could up the action. When this teacher enters the room, the whole class can just get up and leave. That is one way for the staff to actually deal with a situation.
7-11 is not impacted by the law. The NY Times did a video thingy on the law and how absurd it is and how only specific instances are illegal. So if you can’t buy it in one store, just go next door and buy it.
Integrate Bais Yaakov with the non-Frum?
What are you talking about?
Also, if you don’t want Charedim to be drafted into the army, that is fine. They can do national service instead. You certainly can’t have anything against people helping out hospitals?
When you just start the car use recycled air until it warms up a bit and then switch to fresh air. Also, don’t use the bi-level, stick to feet only, hot air rises and it will be hotter from the foot vents than the top vents.
This thread is what make children go off the derech.
There is nothing left to say.
In other words, you are telling people that if they actually want to do something to improve their lives and not stay with the corrupt system, too bad??
Shas currently leads the Knesset in number of ex-convicts.
Am Shalem cost Shas one vote. I didn’t check Amnon Yitzchak’s party.
I totally forgot about Hamilton. (Had he not been killed by the idiot, he would most likely have gone on to greater things.)
BTW, the $10,000 bill with Chase on it is indeed still legal and valid.
The $10,000 has Chase on it. Although it’ll be very hard for you to get a $10,000 bill. They are not in circulation and not even legal tender anymore (I think).
1) When you say Torah world, you mean Charedi.
2) Yesh Atid is not anti-religious, they might be anti-charedi but more likely is anti-handouts. They are now one of the most diverse MK’s. More worrisome with them winning is their make a deal with terrorists platform.
I think Bibi might not be able to actually form a coalition and Yesh Atid will form one with the center/left.
Whether UTJ stays at 6 or goes up 1 or down 1, the next Knesset will most likely have more religious representation than ever before. Many frum Jews who voted Likud or even YB are now finding that a vote for BH is not a wasted vote. I doubt the newer parties, Amnon Yitzchak’s, Am Shalem or NaNach will go over the threshold.
If he doesn’t want you to work there, is he working himself so you don’t have to or is he finding you somewhere else?
To all the people who say that “you shouldn’t work there,” I say too, bad. It’s probably a blessing that you have a job. I’d be willing to take a job at a garbage dump if they had one available. Jobs are at a premium and people should just stop judging.
If you have co-workers, you have to invite them to the wedding. You certainly don’t want to come back to work and have them all hate you.
Another reason why they weren’t as vocal was because the charedim themselves weren’t as vocal about things. Once they started to shove, the rest pushed back.
My opinion is that UTJ and Shas will both lose seats. Many people are disenfranchised with UTJ, especially after comments made by UTJ ministers made it clear that “regular” charedim are not UTJ’s issue. They will most likely go to Bayit Hayehudi, now that BH actually has a fighting chance of being a strong party.
