everyone (not YCT) holds that YCT is not an Orthodox Yeshivah
I am not so sure about that (though I guess that just makes me not orthodox).
I’m confused. Here you say you are a sir, yet elsewhere it was implied that you are a woman. See here:http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/idaven

(not that i agree, it was just funny :D)
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
heh heh
^_^
OneOfMany, if you keep making that facial expression the mods might make it your subtitle.
Whatever. I made my point. If you want to have no sechel that’s your prerogative.
I have always been an admirer of Tom Riddle.
Personally I think that this thread is a chillul Hashem. I find it disturbing that a OP’s sole purpose is to come up with halachic sources which allow one to do something which is illegal. Doesn’t anyone think about what others reading this thread might think? I don’t care what your halachic opinion on the matter is, there is a time and a place for everything, and having this discussion here is wrong. Just my opinion.
Wolf – I think it’s not so much a reminder for the spouse as it is for others s/he comes into contact with.
Yeah, let’s all be delusional, that’s the adult way of dealing with life.
OneOfMany – From this post alone yes, although from others it looks as though some might be approaching type 2. Grr :@
Smarter thing might just be to buy a music book, or music sheets for the specific songs you want.
aha, that explains it… lol
sol – it isn’t (unless otherwise specified on the packaging)
Brothers wear skirts? You from Scotland or something?
Awesome. There are over a billion Muslims and over two billion Christians, so apparently we’ve still got ways to go. And hey, when Avraham was around he was quite the tiny minority, wasn’t he? “The whole world on one side and him on the other…” Point is, last I checked we don’t care much for numbers like these.
The topic is stupid. Snap back to reality and deal with the life we have.
mermaid – No, it isn’t.
😛
shmoel –
Or… you witness an actual maisa znus (eishes ish).
Not only is that incorrect, but you would be liable to the death penalty if you were to kill someone involved in znus with an eishes ish, if they are consenting adults. Only if it is rape does the perpetrator have the halacha of a rodef.
The Pinchas halacha is something else entirely. It only applies to a Jewish man who is being mezaneh with a non Jewish woman in public (at least ten people watching). And even in this case, if the Zimri turns around and kills Pinchas he is justified according to halacha and will not be persecuted. The only thing Pinchas has is the right not to be persecuted if he kills them in his zeal for Hashem’s honor.
Zimri: the guy being mezaneh.
Pinchas: The zealot.
shmoel –
Men are prohibited from wearing a ring, as it is a female article of clothing.
Men are not prohibited from wearing a ring, since it is not a female article of clothing.
Secondly, Jewish men never wore rings througout history. Don’t try to be wiser than 3,000+ years of our zeidas.
Unless you’re talking b’davka about wedding bands, you’ve got quite an interesting version of history. Of course men wore rings, there are pesukim, mishnayos, and gemaras about men’s rings. Even if you’re talking about wedding rings b’davka, what shaychis being wiser? Maybe we shouldn’t filter our kids’ internet because hey, did the last 3,000+ years of our zeidas filter their kids’ internet? Are we wiser than them?
OneOfMany, you are such a Hermione. I’m sure she has her opinions about Shakespeare too, and I know you wish you had the Time-Turner so you could do a octuple major.
apushatayid – That’s exactly why I think men should also wear rings, if not at least when mingling with the general populace.
He’s shaving. It takes him a while to get under all those chins.
Here is a link to the halacha:
The three months thing is something else. That’s when there’s a question if she is pregnant, and if she gets married right away and has a baby nine months later you won’t know whose kid it is, so they made a takana that she should wait three months. This halacha has to do with child neglect that may occur as a result of the new marriage.
Health – I never delved into the sugya so I have no idea what the practical halacha is, but it’s based in Kesubos 60a-b. The halacha, in EH 13:11, seems to be pretty clear like always runs said, although on the face of it I can guess how one might be meikil in various circumstances.
Ramban*
lol syag
Used to getting our way, are we now? Okay, fine. Tonks is the awesomest.
:p
Yeah okay, Tonks and Luna are both pretty awesome too.
Snape is awesome.
rofl
147 means more_2.
why are you people still up
It it not appropriate to daven in your pajamas if you are capable of putting on respectable clothing. The pasuk says ??????? ????????-?????????? ??????????, “Israel, prepare to meet your God” (Amos 4:12), and Chazal support the idea of dressing respectfully for davening from there.
In any event you still fulfilled your obligation.
So your saying it’s stuck somewhere in their pant legs?
Lol awesome idea. I’d definitely buy a T shirt.
Thanks ILC 🙂
OneOfMany – or I spend too much time arguing about them… :p
ICOT – Thanks 🙂 (and interesting about Snopes).
Just a fact that you ought to be aware of before making sweeping comparisons between religions:
“The ancient church, in both Eastern Christianity and Western Christianity, developed a tradition of asking for the intercession of (deceased) saints, and this remains the practice of most Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and some Anglican churches. Churches of the Protestant Reformation* however rejected prayer to the saints, largely on the basis of the sole mediatorship of Christ. The reformer Huldrych Zwingli admitted that he had offered prayers to the saints until his reading of the Bible convinced him that this was idolatrous.” (from Wikipedia: Christianity: Prayer)
And don’t forget (or be aware) that Catholic churches are full of actual statues of the saints.
I’m not coming back into this discussion, just presenting these facts.
*Which of course was way after the Ran’s time.
Did you try Googling that date? It was JFK’s first day in office. And as everyone who spends their time arguing about black hats knows, he was the harbinger of all that is evil, since was the first president to not wear a hat… :p
I have no interest in getting into this discussion. This is what I hold the halacha is. We can agree to disagree.
OneOfMany and mitzvagirl, think of the classic thing which superstitious people say is bad luck if it crosses your path. Then say it a few times to yourself.
Sam –
There is a HUGE difference. In Christianity, at least in medieval times, there was such a thing as bowing to the cross, even if it was not done to “worship” it. There is no such thing as bowing to Muhammad. As for poskim being misinformed about other religions’ practices – if they lived among the religion they are discussing, fine. Otherwise it is pashut that it is more likely they were misinformed, and I have no idea why you think that is unlikely. This is compounded by the verifiable historical fact that Christians during the time of the Ran propagated patently false information about Moslems to make them appear as idol worshipers. And as I said earlier, the Ran lived in Christian Spain. You can find all this using Google and Wikipedia.
ICOT – LOL! Well done 😀
Sam – They DON’T bow before him. That’s no different than saying we bow in front of Moshe Rabbenu. It’s plain ignorance. Mdd is right, this is a very shverre shitah. It’s pashut that the halacha is like the Rambam, the greatness of the Ran and TzE respectively notwithstanding.
Wolf – I must say, even though you’re going to hell and what not, your son is lucky to have a father like you.
