    uneeq –

    It’s a good question. The Rema says that with beer and vinegar one should be machmir and assume bugs and the like are nosen ta’am lishvach. I would guess the same should apply to tequila, but I’m not certain. However, there is another angle which I think is correct, and that is that the worms are usually less than 1:60 of the contents of the bottle, so their ta’am is batel anyway. So just make sure you take out the worms before you let them sit there when the bottle is only a quarter full, and your good to go.

    By waiting, does a girl minimize her chances of meeting someone based on ‘the good ones will be taken’

    I would guess so. But that is not enough of a reason to push someone to get married. If someone doesn’t want to get married, they probably shouldn’t.

    Why doesn’t she want to get married? Either you are close enough to her to know the answer or you aren’t. If you aren’t, I would say it probably isn’t your job or business to further involve yourself. If you know the answer, well, what is it?

    In Lakewood we say the bracha and then answer amen to the chazan’s before shema. We don’t say the bracha together with the chazan.

    You can say everything as quiet as makes you feel comfortable, as long as you can hear yourself.

    Avi K – Sure it’s a mitzva to teach goyim the sheva mitzvos. What does this have to do with the sheva mitzvos though?

    The fact that the penalty for murder is the same for killing an 18 year old and killing a 60 year old, doesn’t prove that they are equal crimes, because: Had the penalty been a prison term, and it was the same amount of months for both crimes, you would have been able to prove that the crime is the same, because had one been worse, it would receive more time. With the death penalty, obviously, it’s impossible to make this argument. The best proof is stealing. Do you honestly think that stealing a quarter is tantamount to killing him? Yet the same penalty is given for both. You must concede that with the death penalty – since it can’t get any worse – it doesn’t really show in any way that two crimes penalized with it are equal.

    hello99 –

    1. I know it isn’t batel. My point is that at the end of the day it’s only an issur d’rabbanan. Are you saying that the rabbanan somehow make it that now it’s assur mid’oraisa? I’d like to hear how you could possibly support that.

    3. Ha. This is exactly what people don’t understand. He is not a meikil, ?? ????? ??. He simply is bold in his hachra’os when he strongly believes one way over the other, and therefore is seen that way by the hamon am, because occasionally that derech leads him to come up with a “revolutionary” psak. Every real posek from the times of Ravina and Rav Ashi was like that, and you know it. He’s not being machmir for the minority, he’s being machmir on the halacha of ??? ????? ???? ??? ?? ?????? ?????.

    The Rashba is in Volume 1 Teshuva 495, cited by the Yad Avraham. The Yad Avraham is on 84:13.

    I will iy”h look up the Divrei Malkiel, thank you.

    I don’t think being an ohr lagoyim means we have to prove anything to them, or go out of our way to change most of their opinions, such as these. So I think what you did was right. I think the idea of being an ohr lagoyim is not something we really actively pursue, it is more that if we study the Torah and do the right thing, we will naturally be an ohr lagoyim. That’s what it sounds like from the pesukim too (read Devarim 4:5 and onward, you’ll see what I mean).

    1. But it is batel. It is only not batel mid’rabbanan. So p’sik reishe d’lo nicha leih should be matir you to eat it.

    3. You need both reasons. Safek alone is not enough, unless it is not matzuy. I asked about a regular safek and he said that’s not good enough.

    hello99 –

    1. I definitely hear where you are coming from. What can I say, my rav holds ein kavanaso is only good when your intention is to remove the issur, what you cite b’sheim R’ Akiva Eiger and you mention is the minority opinion. The psik reishe d’lo nicha leih vort sounds very interesting though, I’ll ask him. My question about it is this: if you’re willing to say that, bear in mind that l’halacha every berya is batel mid’oraisa chad b’trei, so if I had a case where I don’t want to eat it would you say that it’s mutar to eat the ta’aruvos because of p’sik reishe d’lo nicha leih? Furthermore, the Ran (in Chullin or AZ, sorry I don’t have my Gemara in front of me) says mefurash that R’ Shimon is matir p’sik reishe everywhere besides for Shabbos (and yes, Tosafos in Bameh Madlikin by the shaatnez case clearly argues). Would you say that according to him bitul is always mutar by ein kavanaso, even if it’s efshar b’inyan acher? I’m not saying not, I’m just thinking aloud.

    2. Reason for ein mevatlin: You remember correctly; my rav goes like the Rashba.

    3. Safek bitul: I asked him today and he is matir if it isn’t matzuy.

    4. Shitas HaRaavad: I might have a very interesting thing to say about that, but I need to check it up first. Will post tomorrow bl”n.
