    I’ve been doing this kind of like free-association writing, only going back to fix the meter and to stick in some thoughts I had along the way. Anyway.

    Time is confusing

    Plain is elusive

    Thoughts were abstruse

    Peers were exclusive

    Share with me tomorrow

    Stay with me today

    Brighter when it rains

    Longing for hope then

    Weakened, in bed

    Burning with fever

    Living undead

    Where has the time gone?

    Living so fast

    Twenty-three years and

    Nothing is past

    This is my question

    This is my row

    Days passed so slowly

    Where did they go?

    Dr. Seuss-

    if a man saw a non-tznius women he must remove her from within his eyesight

    Who says? He’s just not allowed to gaze.

    Sam2 – I don’t understand you. If you truly believe there are heteirim, then how is that citation relevant in the first place??

    Sam4321- No. But I am unsure as to how to be melamed zchus. R’ Moshe couldn’t figure it out. At this point I’m even willing to concede that Klal Yisroel simply doesn’t keep that one anymore, which might possibly be a heter.

    I think you should listen to him. While your high standard of tznius is commendable, your shalom bayis comes first. And listening to him will be better for both of you. I don’t think he really needs you to put on a lot of perfume. He probably just exaggerated to get his point across. He probably just wants you to wear a normal amount so he can have his nose focus on something “kosher.”

    I wasn’t really disagreeing with you.

    I wrote that tznius is not showing everybody anything – not that it’s not showing anybody anything. Point is, it’s about keeping to yourself, living a private life, not excessively flaunting anything, physical or spiritual. It was particularly a response to Cinderella who wrote “Tznius is showing everyone that you are so much more than a body, you are a precious neshama.”

    But the point is it’s a matter of pragmatism and common sense, nothing more. One doesn’t become a zaken mamrei for arguing with the rishonim. Just a fool. I choose to make this clear because otherwise we run the risk of turning halacha into something monolithic, in which I say that my rav is the ultimate decisor of Halacha and everyone who follows someone else is a kofer, and you say the same, and everyone ends up hating each other. But it isn’t true, someone could theoretically be a bar hachi and argue on the greats of his generation and even those before him. But one needs to be makir mekomo, and one who isn’t is a reckless fool and is ???? ???? ?? ????.

    Nu nu. All you are saying is that a person needs to be makir mekomo. If he’s takeh holding by arguing, he can argue, and if not, not. I just resent the idea that “Gedolei Hador” is a “concept.” It makes halacha seem monolithic. If the man’s an am ha’aretz, he has no place arguing with great talmidei chachamim, and he is an idiot and deserves no respect for doing so. That’s all.

    MDG-

    The head is not ervah, and the requirement to cover the head is not primarily because of ervah. This is a common mistake.

    See my posts on the thread I linked to above. Also see my lengthy post here: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/how-tznius-are-todays-sheitels

    I am positive I have read a Gemara or a Midrash in which an Amora criticized a woman for being too tznius, because in effect, it is a lack of tznius, as it draws extra attention to herself. I just cannot remember where it is. Help anyone?

    You can’t.

    The halacha is primarily that a woman cover her head, not her hair.

    The prohibition is for a woman to go out ???? ???? – “her head uncovered” (this is the translation of the Rishonim). The Gemara in Kesubos which introduces this halacha does not mention the word hair.

    What are you talking about?? The Gemara only says that in cases where the wording is questionable, not where you stam didn’t have kavanah. And Popa has a good raya to that.

    Sam2-

    I agree.

    However, the statement is very ambiguous.

    In regards to what is it d’rabbanan?

    In regards to speaking ????? ??????? why would you say it’s d’rabbanan? Even if it’s an ?????? and ???? in societal norms, at any rate, if in a particular society it is something which can be called “ervah,” then the pasuk of ??? ???? ?? ???? ??? applies. Which would make it d’oraisa, unless you tell me that drasha is an ??????, but you would have to show your basis for saying that. And if in a particular society it is not called “ervah,” then it would be mutar, as the Aruch Hashulchan paskened and numerous other poskim.

    In regards to covering it, I have already noted here and on a lot of other threads that I don’t believe this halacha primarily has anything to do with ??? ???? ????.

    Popa – LOL. How do you know it’s not like Yisroel, Gavriel, Shmuel, or Michoel? Like some way of saying ??? ????? if you get my drift.

    There is no such thing as a neder not to eat. As Popa succinctly pointed out, in general, a neder is only an issur on a ????, i.e. had you said for example, “this bread is forbidden to me today,” that would be a neder.

    Whether or not the statement has any validity in any case, is the subject of discussion.

    The Ran (Nedarim 2b) brings brings a Yerushalmi that has a disagreement about this question; ?’ ???? and ?’ ???? say it’s nothing, while ?’ ???? argues. The Ran says it is mashma that the halacha follows the majority – that it is nothing.

    The Ran’s own opinion is also that it is nothing, and he cites Rabbeinu Chananel, the Ri Migash, and the Rashba who accord with this view.

    However he mentions that the Ramban disagrees and holds that it is something. The Ran explains that the Ramban means to say that it is valid as a shevua, and the statement used works as a yad.

    L’ma’aseh, the Shulchan Aruch (YD 206:5) brings both shitos but concludes that even according to the Ran you need ???? anyway: ????? ???? ??????? ????? ???????? ?????? ?????? ???? ???? ??? ???? ????? ???? ??? ??? ????? ???? ??? ??????.

    There is one more possible way out that I can think of according to the Ramban, and that is that on Erev Yom Kippur there is a mitzva to eat, and if what you said indeed counts as a shevua, well, the Mishna (bottom 16a) tells us that a shevua doesn’t work against a mitzva (though you would get malkos for shevuas shav though…). However this is not so simple, because the Ran (8a) is of the opinion that something learned from a drasha is not included in this, and a shevua would work against it. I do not know how we pasken in this shailah.

    I know the question is not nogeia anymore; this was just stam hocking. In the event that a real shaila should occur just go to a rav he should have no problem being mattir your neder/shevua.

    I don’t understand. Aderaba, from that Gemara it should come out like me; the Gemara has a hava amina that only by achilas matza you are yotzei and Rashi explains with the reasoning I gave, and comes out that by tekias shofar it’s also that way, because ???? ??? ?????? ????? (Agav, now I realize where that idea floating around in my head came from). It would therefore seem that even if we pasken ???? ?????? ????? you could be yotzei matza without kavana. Furthermore, even if you should tell me that by matza we wouldn’t say such a thing, I could still hear that eating on Erev Yom Kippur is better, because over there the Torah gives us a specific reason, so one could say that the Torah was makpid on more than just the hana’as achilah (Doesn’t someone say this by sukka?), ???”? here where there is simply a mitzva to eat, drink, and be merry.

    I hear your dichui of the raya from Kesubos.

    I heard that the Gra brings a raya from the Gemara in Kesubos (5a) that the mitzva is only by day. The Gemara says:

    ?”? ???? ??? ???? ??? ??????? ??? ????? ???? ???? ???? ????? ??? ????? ?? ??? … ??? ??? ??? ????? ??? ??? ??? ?????

    And Rashi explains:

    ??? ??? ????? – ????? ????? ??????? ???? ?? ????

    ??? ??? ??? ????? – ??????? ????? ??? ???? ??????? ???

    Btw I would just like to give public recognition to ???????? from which I copy and paste most times I wish to quote from Shas. It is an invaluable resource.

    Yes, I b’davka said this mitzva, as that raya would not apply to sitting in the sukka. B’pashtus.

    As for smoking, do you know of a posek who actually says klohr that it’s like drinking? I happened to have just gone through the sugya and came out not like that. I know the Mishna Brura says to refrain on fast days but I was under the impression that he wasn’t talking me’ikkar hadin altz drinking but rather that it’s excessive pleasure.
