The Chasidish have the lowest divorce rate among Chareidim.
If conservatives redefine themselves as LWMO, people who practice Judaism have to suddenly respect them? Absolutely not.
Sam: they limit it for children, not adults. Ad dlo yoda kpshuto is the default (and probably majority) psak that is 1000% legit and long adhered to by many throughout the centuries and today.
cherrybim: It specifically says he allowed his family while the CC himself didn’t. I only addressed the latter above. And I would shake with fear before C”V accusing the CC of having a minhag shtus.
As far as the Steipler — see Orchas Rabbeinu 2:49 page 50. He too didn’t eat gebrochts. Nor does Rav Chaim shlit”a. And Rav Yaakov Kamenetzky’s minhag was not to brok. See B’mechitzas Rabbeinu p.137.
I suppose the Chofetz Chaim, the Steipler, Rav Chaim shlit”a, and Rav Yaakov all had a “minhag shtus” according to your description.
ca: The Rema’s heter is health-based?
The Chofetz Chaim should have checked with some of the posters here instead of having a minhag to not eat gebrochts. Too bad the posters weren’t around to set the Chofetz Chaim straight.
There is no equation between stealing a physical object and “stealing” an intellectual object.
LY: So the Shach allows copying the full Artscroll Shas (or any Seforim.)
Is there any resentment by those in the 125 -150 range that those in the 70 – 85 range are effectively in the same financial/class as themselves? There shouldn’t be any such resentment. They should be happy that the lower income folks are able to live on the same standards as themselves. Is one class entitled to a better financial state than another class?
Cherrybim: Dugmas M’darchei Avi, page 30, Hanhugos of the Chofetz Chaim, as recorded by his son.
The Chofetz Chaim and the Steipler had the “minhag shtus” of not eating gebruchts. Do you need to know which gedolim had the minhag shtus of Shmini Atzeres too?
ski: Just curious why you don’t want any sources that say they shouldn’t?
Sam, I believe the following rendition would be more accurate:
My real problem is this: far too many people in Yiddishkeit nowadays decide that whatever they’re comfortable with is Muttar. What happened to just doing something that you feel is a Nisayon for you? I have a Nisayon with problem Y. Does that mean that I have to try and get the whole world to think that Y is Muttar? Apparently, many people throughout the Frum world think yes.
besalel: don’t worry. The guy that told you that is considered a non-observant Jew by large portions of the Torah world.
uneeq: Rav Ovadia Yosef shlita paskens like Rabbeinu Tam?
You can’t use grape juice for the Seder kosos?
WM: The SA OC 199:6,7 says it is optional and the Mishne Brura ibid., 16 writes “Apparently, the Rabbis did not impose Birchas Hazimun upon women when they eat by themselves because they are generally unfamiliar with the proceedings.”
Rav Scheinberg said the minhag is that women don’t.
The shul is on 45th Street, between 13 and 14.
Sometimes you know yourself that your regular Rov will not pasken a major shaila, so you go directly to a great posek. An example might be whether to r”l pull the plug on a ventilator.
We pasken that women shouldn’t make a mezumen.
Bowwow – I’m sorry to hear about your addiction. Are you in touch with a medical professional about this issue?
Term Life Insurance is dirt cheap. Something like $200/year for $500K or $400/year for $1 Mil.
Phones should be turned off prior to entering a shul.
MultiPlan is a good network.
It didn’t cost anywhere near 250K. That report was false, probably maliciously.
$100,000/yr
The Status-Quo were simply Congregations that didn’t officially affiliate with either the Orthodox or the Neolog. Status-Quo ran the variety of the spectrum and didn’t indicate much. By way of example, Debrecin was Status-Quo, and they are as frum as they come.
Like Derech HaMelech indicated, unless there is a practical or firm reason you cannot dress like a Ben Torah, I would dress with a white shirt, dark pants, jacket, and hat. And even if there is a reason one cannot dress as such while working or other time, I would dress as such whenever I could, such as on off-days, etc.
Why risk your life on a parachute jump?
Was that now left-wing blogger a secular political blog or a religious blog?
Give it to the same cause as the original organization.
The Arabs only expelled the Jews after thousands of years because of the zionist state. And they want to nuke Israel because of the Zionists.
Rav Shach told American educators to have the yeshivos teach in Yiddish, not English.
BK massered to the Romans. What does nk do that is more like BK than like RYBZ?
Sam2: That’s irrelevant. The Zionists didn’t stop any pograms in Europe. They cause pograms in Eretz Yisroel (and around the world.)
Rambam and Shulchan Aruch both say (from a halachic standpoint) that women shouldn’t go out in the street too much. There is nothing extreme or exaggerated about this yiddishe concept.
NO ONE anywhere ever said women shouldn’t wear seatbelts. That is a boldfaced lie through and through.
Yeah, but at least a child born in Israel to non-citizen parents, doesn’t automatically become a citizen.
Sam2: 9/11 didn’t happen before or since 9/11. Nor did it specifically target Jews. In Israel, Jewish-targeted terrorism killing and maiming Jews has been a constant theme for the 60+ years of the medina. Plus in Israel, unlike Jews elsewhere, live through a constant state of wars that continues to cause the loss of Jewish lives.
There are some Yidden in EY descended from the first yishuv that never accepted citizenship. They also use dollars for monetary transactions to avoid using Israeli currency.
Yiddish today is a glue that binds many Yidden from around the world to a common language whereas they otherwise speak different languages (English, French, Ivrit, Dutch, etc.) that they wouldnt understand each other with. B’H for Yiddish. It serves the same purpose it has served Yidden for 1,000 years.
More Jews are killed and injured in Israel for being Jewish than Jews in the rest of the world combined. Whether you look at it proportionately or hard numbers.
