Shemos 22:17
???????????, ??? ????????.
Thou shalt not suffer a sorceress to live.
The Gemorah says that R. Shimeon ben Shetach defeated eighty witches. Enforcing the halachic penalty, R. Shimeon ben Shetach had all of them hung.
“On the other hand, there is a possibility that the husband will put pressure on his wife to regain her figure, which is an unfair expectation to demand from a woman who just went through 9 months of pregnancy, childbirth and months of nursing.”
Keep that point in mind when dating a shallow guy who insists on Size X.
“if a NON-JEW holds the door for you, be especially makpid to say thank you and make a Kiddush Hashem.”
Au contraire. if a JEW holds the door for you, be especially makpid to say thank you and make a Kiddush Hashem.
A real Kiddush Hashem is in front of Jews, not non-Jews
Is there a source for all this, or is it whatever makes me feel good?
“a true and tried source!”
The boich?
10 shekels is about $2.50. That’s closer to what you tip a barber in the US, then what you pay.
Science is not something that particularly troubles me.
Otherwise we would have been troubled every time scientists changed their mind.
And would have to find to excuses to reinterpret the Torah when scientists will change their minds again next time.

Great article. Try submitting it to Reader’s Digest.
cutiepie:
You should want to not work. You should be happy to make him suppers. You should be accepting of his snores.
Once you get your priorities straight, you wouldn’t have to worry about all the things you’ll have to give in about.
Are the Israeli and American stores just coincidental names, or are they related companies?
popa, you’d only have passengers for the way back.
Since when do you have to thank someone for holding a door!
do you thank people for walking out of your way on the street? no!
Where were you brought up? In Harlem?
frum: Rav Yitzchok Hutner zt”l called the Satmar Rebbe zt”l the last lion, although he called him that prior to the Rebbe’s petira, if I’m not mistaken. Here is the context:
For every woman refusing to take a divorce there are ten men doing so.
Where did you conjure up those “statistics”?
Derech: Most “bochur’s” (as the title indicates) don’t have wives. In fact, none I know do.
why is it not ok?
not very appropriate though.
discussing actors is not very appropriate.
discussing actresses is not okay.
real-brisker said it best.

Does anyone know how “magicians” do their shtick?
It’ll ruin your shidduchim prospects if seen.
You cross the street and avoid. If G-d forbid you pass each other before realizing it, you gasp, turn around and go the other way.
The Chasam Sofer (Shut Chasam Sofer, VII:31) quotes his Rebbe, Rav Nosson Adler who felt that it was forbidden to rejoice during the holiday. Therefore, Torah study, which gladdens the heart, cannot be studied. Rav Moshe Feinstein (Iggros Moshe Y.D. III:85) applies the same logic in explaining why schools must remain open during this season. The Chasam Sofer himself argues with his Rebbe and suggests that the Minhag of not learning on this night was to avoid giving power to the Sotan. Another reasons given (Kovetz Michtavim [Chasam Sofer] bsheim Rav Nosson Adler ZT”L) is that Nitel Nacht is aveilus (same as Tisha Bav) for when Yoshka was born. There are those who used to simply go to sleep early and waking up earlier to learn the next day. This, says the Chasam Sofer (likutim 31) was the custom of the Yeshivos in his areas.
Or communicated with the wrong person.
He should be hung for treason.
Rebbe Hill.
That’s cute. Kapusta and Fein Un continuing their conversation from over a year ago.
The ONLY label applicable is “Jewish”. All other labels are criminal to use and need to be discarded.
Halachicly you are allowed to kill an intruder in your house immediately — just for breaking in. You can automatically assume he will kill you first if possible. The only exception under halacha is if the intruder is your parent — in which case you can assume he will not kill you first even if he can, so you cannot kill your parent just for having broken into your home.
Kids today have more chutzpa than anytime since the churban.
cherry, Why would the wife no longer be cooking the meals? She’ll be doing so ad meah v’esrim.
Only police can pull a license plate name. And they only do so if there was a crime and a police report filed. And even then they do not give than info to any private individuals.
In any event, if popa breaks a few of Homeowner’s windows because he had him towed, a) Homeowner has no proof popa did it b) popa’s car was gone before the windows were broken, so Homeowner wouldn’t even know popa’s license plate number.
AZ,
What caused boys to start dating later in the past 15 years? So we simply need to revert back to the dating ages boys started at 15+ years ago…?
rt, are you willing to marry (or marry you’re child to) someone who’se father is a gechtke macher?
Tickets issued to a car in front of an illegal driveway are dismissed. A call to 311 on an illegal driveway results in multi-thousand dollar fine to the “homeowner”.
Midwest – see about 20 posts above.
There is no shaychas between one and the other. Ask the Rabbonim in TIDE.
This is a direct quote from Rav Shimon Schwab, the Rav of the Torah Im Derech Eretz kehilla:
Even if you’re theory is correct, Midwest2, why do you think the Communist Party decided to copy the Democrats platform rather than another? Perhaps it is close to theirs?
In any event, yes, there is a Communist Party USA, and it is the same Communist Party that was formed in the US in 1919, was in the Soviet pay, subverted the US government, and still exists today.
Even PG and PG-13 are horrible and not for a Jewish home. It is called “parental guidance” for a reason; and not a good reason.
popa,
It is difficult to determine with certainty if a driveway is illegal. You can sometimes make a good assumption, but it is hard to prove.
charlie: If it was indeed a “private” psak, keep it private! Don’t broadcast it. Otherwise people will rightfully discount an alleged “private” psak that someone publicized, but anonymously.
TheGoq: Television causes a loss of Olam Haboa based on the Mishna in Sanhedrin 10:1 that says a person loses his Olam Haboa by reading the wrong books since it corrupts his mind. The television is many times worse than the seforim chitzonim mentioned.
Derech HaMelech: Schar for the effort (which he will get) wouldn’t make a difference if the Hebrew word was “modern” or not.
No one here has experience.
