    I still haven’t had one yet. Just haven’t gotten around to it. I hope that doesn’t make me a kofer.

    PrincessEagle – Just good old fashioned coaching. Nothing is perfect, and a book would still be of use, but it isn’t everything. Thank you!

    Yiddishe Kup – Thanks. In this case I know what is probably the cause, and it’s a combination of a few things, which cannot be changed, so it’s more about dealing with the situation now and working with what we’ve got.

    She also said, “I always wanted to marry hefty, when I was a girl. BUt I don’t like tatoos anymore.”

    So she probably changed in other ways since then too.

    They’re probably worried about trolls endlessly copying and pasting (though with you they’re probably just afraid of your scissors). Either way, just wait thirty seconds or so and it should go through.

    Princess – Thanks for asking. I actually looked most of them up and they were all good, but didn’t find exactly what I was looking for. What I really wanted was a book that didn’t require much reading, that would somehow get across the message “you are worth something” etc. This person would be much more interested in a Dr. Seuss book than a Twerski book (though this person is quite smart, and I happen to think Dr. Seuss books are great). So we resorted to other things. But if you have another book suggestion, I’d love to hear.

    hello99 –

    The reason why basar b’chalav is batel even if heter b’heter is not is because there is a special din that ????? ??? is required for basar b’chalav (the Gemara learns this out in Chullin 108a for the fact that ??? ????? ???? ????). If I’m not mistaken I’ve seen this answer mefurash somewhere.

    My point was not to go straight from here to fish and meat. It was to say that the Rema’s case of milk and water is heter b’heter, so how is it batel according to the Ran? My answer (which I admit is a chiddush, but is mistavra to me) is that ein hachi nami it’s not batel, but it isn’t worse than ???? ?????? ????. Since there is already 60 water against milk, there will automatically be more than 60 in anything you add this to, to the milk.

    Based on this, ???? ?????? ???? is not a special din in keilim, but in minute amounts of food as well. And just as by keilim, ???? ?????? ???? isn’t that it’s impossible to be ????? ???? ???? but only that it isn’t the ??? to do so, so too here it doesn’t have to be impossible, only not ??? ever to do so, because ???”? it’s the exact same din.

    The big nafka mina according to me would be in the Rema’s case, what if instead of 60 you had 59 against it. In most normal cases would say it’s still fine. Because we never cared about bitul in the first place, we cared about being assured that it will become batel as soon as it is poured into the pot, and that will certainly happen with 59 as well, ???? ??? ?????.

    This was my comparison to the sauce – i.e. if the fish is such a minute amount that even though it is more than 1/60 of the sauce but it will always be less than 1/60 of the meat it is spread on, you will not have a problem of bitul issur l’chatchilah. And if the metzius is not like this, I completely agree that my vort isn’t relevant here.

    And as I’ve said before, this is not going to help for the other issues – the fact that it’s ??? to which 60 may not be relevant, and the fact that as you’ve pointed out the sauce might remain ????.

    Thank you for your list at the end.

    I’m not sure if this is what you mean, but if you are saying that unless you are doing the amount for that night you should only do one, you are correct. Otherwise, there’s no reason one person can’t do mehadrin min hamehadrin.

    You can use whatever kind of candle you like, including oil. My rav happens to hold that our wax candles have a nicer flame than olive oil, but there’s no nafka mina between one person lighting and ten people lighting.

    I found an interesting thing in the words of the Ri MiLunel which makes that the kasha doesn’t start:

    ???? ???? ????? ???? ?????. ?? ????? ????. ??? ???? ?? ??? ??????, ???? ???? ?? ??? ?? ????? ???? ????? ????, ????? ?????? ??? ????? ?????? ??? ???? ???? ???? ?????? ??? ???, ?????? ?? ???? ??? ????, ??? ?? ??? ????? ???????? ???? ???? ?????? ??? ??? ????? ??? ???????. ?? ?? ??? ??????? ???? ???, ??? ?????? ???????? ???? ??????, ????? ?????? ??? ?? ????, ?????? ?????? ????? ?????? ????? ???

    Basically he says that historically speaking they were willing to enact an 8 day yom tov even if the miracle of the oil had never occurred, because the story with the war was a big miracle and worthy of instituting a yom tov as long as Succos because of it. When the miracle of the oil happened, they figured hey we should light candles too.

    hello99 –

    Yes, he’s mechalek between mino and eino mino by ????”?, I am well aware of that. But he only does so since a ????”? is already assur and only has a tzad heter, so in order to make it like the same kind he adds the factor of eino mino. But this distinction is only in ????”?, which only has a tzad heter. Regular heter b’heter, according to his understanding of the Gemara in Menachos, is never batel even if is aino mino, and this is pashut pshat in that Gemara which requires only ????? and not also ??? ?????. With all due respect you are misreading the Ran.

    hello99 –

    Sorry but I believe you are wrong about the Ran. Look it over again. The Gemara in Menachos 22b which asks rhetorically, ????? ?? ????? ??? ????? ??????, ???? – is according to you, the maskana, which is absurd.

    once Chazal forbade Bitul Issur l’Chatchila, we cannot dismiss a d’Rabannan just because we think the motive is not relevant

    Sure we can, as long as we aren’t being mevatel the gezeira. We always do this.

    hello99 –

    Yes, I meant 99. This has happened to me before, for some reason every time I think ?? or ?? I write 88 or 89.

    The Pri Megadim you mention is very shver in my opinion. Look up the Ran, he is most definitely talking about min b’she’eino mino. That is his whole point, that the chachamim see mino and aino mino as having nothing to do with types of food, but with dinim. Ayin sham. And that’s where I am coming from, and therefore my ikkar raya is from this Rema.

    It was not my intention to prove my point from R’ Akiva Eiger in 103. I simply meant to show that you see the idea that there is no problem of bitul issur l’chatchila when it is impossible/unlikely that anything will go wrong, even though there would have been a problem of bitul issur l’chatchila had we not been able to say that you won’t go wrong. The idea I am shparring from here is that bitul issur l’chatchila is a problem because you might go wrong, and therefore in a completely different case, such as a food which is “???? ?????? ????” such a svara would also apply. But I know the cases are not the same. Again, my raya is from the Rema, and misvara (that ??? ??? ????).

    You seem to be misreading it. He does not say it is actually like a mitzvas asei shehazman grama, because in truth a woman has a real chiyuv. He is just making a conceptual comparison to allow her to make a bracha even when she is in fact being yotzei with her father/husband.

    So I was just wondering why a mechalel shabbos troll would hang out here, instead of on sites meant for non-frum people. It’s a simple question, and one undeserving of the bitter vitriol it has unleashed.

    Please. “Sites meant for non-frum people”? You don’t see how such a question could possibly be provocative? That is a very troll-ish comment. Anyway, one could ask the same question of shul.
