I assume that in general it would not be derech chibah for the person who has the gun to their head. Which would make their act an act of lifnei iver, not ervah. I think that yehareg v’al ya’avor in this case is theoretical, or referring to a different scenario (such as the case at the end of Ben Sorer).
Oh.
I would marry a smoker, as long as she has it under control.
Sam2 – Does your irony has anything to do with defining melachos as creative?
google her
Why would they say something that something assur is assur. I guess it is like the poskim who assur smoking all yeaR and also discuss whether it is muttar on yom tov. Different Dinim.
That makes no sense. There’s no need for an extra stringency when it adds nothing to the original issur.
There is no makor that there is an extra gezeira on music in sefira than the rest of the year. Even the Magen Avraham is only giving a limitation on se’udos reshus – saying not to have dancing at these parties.
If you want to find issurim you’ll find them. But bederech klal if something is not mentioned in the rishonim and no one even talks about it until pretty recently and doesn’t have any clear rayos, you don’t have much of a tayna on someone who dismisses it.
I don’t think YCT isn’t frum.
I do believe a tape is a kli shir.
There is a gezeira all year round against listening to music or singing. What the parameters of that gezeira are, is debatable, but klal yisroel seems to have picked the minimalist approach, even though it is not consistent with the way we would normally pasken.
Rabbiofberlin correctly points out that there is no basis for a new ban on music. Because it is already assur, and whatever applies the whole year, applies during sefira too. New issurim, we don’t make. So wherever and whenever music is mutar during the year, it is mutar during sefira too.
While others may not agree with this view, it is what my rav holds and how I am noheg.
My last comment was to cinderella.
oomis1105 – That is a great point, and I believe what you are implying is absolutely correct.
It might be assur for him to respond to you, being that you are of the female persuasion.
Force yourself to concentrate. If you tell yourself “Under no circumstances am I giving up, I’m just gonna power through this”; you’ll get used to it. Works every time.
Also, make sure you’re not tired. Get a coffee if you are.

sushe – I hear.
sushe – She causes the guy to look? And have inappropriate feelings? Which guy?
Sam2 – eh. L’mayseh it uses the word ????? and it refers to stam looking. That’s good enough for me to teach me teitsh of the word.
Sam – The Gemara of venishmarta explicitly says ??? ?????.
Just a pet peeve of mine: The word ?????????? is not properly translated as androgynous. While they are obviously cognates, the latter is an adjective while the former is a noun. A more accurate translation would be hermaphrodite.
Who says she gets an aveira?
Intelligence does not mean knowledgeable.
At any rate, I nominate both Sams and OneOfMany.
yungerman1 – How would you explain the usage of the word ahava with regards to Shechem’s feelings toward Dinah, and Amnon’s toward Tamar?
This is my opinion:
Make a bracha when you turn on the bathroom light (or any other light you’re leaving on for Shabbos).
It means to gaze, not just looking.
Mistakel implies looking intensively, perhaps more like to stare.
I used to think this as well. But I believe it is clear from the Gemara in Avoda Zara 20a that the term ?????? is either lav davka or doesn’t necessarily mean that. The gemara asks ????????? ?? ??? on R’ Shimon ben Gamliel who commented when he saw (???) a woman who was exceedingly beautiful. (The Gemara’s answer also, that he must have bumped into her turning a corner, does not imply that it is redefining ???????, but rather simply that it wasn’t his fault.)

147 –
The opposite of what you said. Anytime a later authority knowingly disagrees with an earlier one, the later one carries more weight.
Sam2 – Yeah, I know. But we like insights, especially with the Pesach mitzvos, which we seem to be busy giving reasons for.
Ha! QED. That’s what you get for nitpicking, 147. Nice one oomis. 🙂
Why is everyone giving this poster a hard time?
I saw the question and I am stumped. It’s a really good question.
Of course God said so. But he gives a reason for matza. Does no one say ??? ?? ???? ?????? ?? ??? ??? Sam, I’ve had that question since I was a kid, but it’s not a shlug up, it’s simply a kashya on the posuk AinOhdMilvado cited, which we say in the passage I mentioned. I’ve always just assumed that this is the reason for both sides of the coin – the mitzva to eat matza and the prohibition against chametz; but YW fan rightly points out that it only provides insight into the mitzva. So lemayseh, what is the reason for the no chametz?
Sure, you can still answer God said so. But everything else we have a reason for, matza, maror, and so on, and this is a chok? Come on. There’s must be a nice pshat here.
YW fan, again, really good question.
I was in shul last night and asked the gabbai if there was going to be a siyum. He says, “I have a siyum to make, but I don’t have good food.” So I said that all I need is a siyum, I don’t care about the kind of food he serves. This other guy who’s not a bechor overhears us and interjects, “yeah, but I don’t care about the siyum, I just want the food!” So apparently the non-bechorim do partake.
It’s not a pure chasidish/misnagdishe split, it’s more muddled. For example, BMG officially wears (not the building…).
If you live in Ireland or Scotland; Seamus (though it really means Yaakov).
Everyone here STOP FIGHTING. You’re all a bunch of IDIOTS for not going back to research what nitpicker meant. And nitpicker, you are wrong for jumping to conclusions. But this is a CLASSIC example of a joke gone too far. See here:
Do Online Halachic Discussions Cause Some to be Nichshal in Aveiros?
As you can see, it was MOD 80, NOT Popa. The source of the confusion? THE STUPID SUBTITLE. How do I know the subtitle isn’t the truth? Because Popa SAID SO HIMSELF, here:
All of you should start to think a little before you speak.
End rant.
Thank you for listening.
hehe
shmoel – Nope. Two more guesses.
shmoel – Indeed, type 3 it is.
Thanks Goq, you roq!
Shticky – lol, I’m sure you can figure out the answer to that one.

Shucks, I’m going to miss my own second cranniversary. It’s the first day of Pesach.
What’s a controller?
Well if it’s OK, it’s ok.
I like it when the milk gets chocolaty. In fact, back in the day when I wanted some cocoa pebbles I would take some Kemach rice krispies from the yeshiva dining room and eat it with chocolate milk – mammish the same taste!
Learn YD 179 and stop trolling.
You don’t have to get rid of it.
