yitzchokmParticipant
was that a question? lol!
people (myself included) become very te’hizt for many reasons. It’s sometimes very hard to write feelings properly.
yitzchokmParticipantsure!

What’s your agenda?
I smell TROLL
yitzchokmParticipantSam2
why isn’t he yotza if he eats with the bag?
yitzchokmParticipantFeif-
Correct. The gedolem understood that the reason wasn’t valed any more. They understood the real reason and where able to say “no more”
yitzchokmParticipantQuiet?
yitzchokmParticipantFeif,
Either way, it’s not relevant today. as Derech wrote, Maharam Schick writes that it was a one time deal.
yitzchokmParticipantIt’s not about the actual question, it’s the believe that the hanhaga can be changed due to the current popular perception of what’s right.
Questioning to understand is correct. But we must remember and believe that even when we don’t understand that we MUST continue believing in and doing our mesorah.
Another underlining concept is that there are meny reasons for our traditions. The gamura may give a reason, but it doesn’t mean there aren’t any others. It is not up to us to determine this. Unless we KNOW otherwise (via a proclamation from the rabunnim,) we MUST continue believeing that our mesorah is relevant, true, and valid.

yitzchokmParticipantfar east-
I do. I find that popa articulates his thoughts preeeety well.
I happen to like his defense of our rabbuim and minhugim. and he’s funny. (most of the time)
yitzchokmParticipantLogic
Why leave out the RY’S? Don’t they have das Torah? Should we only listen to the rabblerousers?
yitzchokmParticipant“Far east, only because this isn’t a private CR. It can be read by anyone anywhere (except maybe China).”….and Iran (and NK, Cuba,ect) . but so what? I don’t think it’s necessary to be PC every time I post.
yitzchokmParticipant“Thank you. Hopefully there was a little kabalah al ha’asid with that.”
yes, mama

yitzchokmParticipanthow about we take a vote on if it was funny?
I vote:
FUNNY
(in a black humor kind of way.)
(It’s offensive to some, as is all humor)
sorry, soliek it’s not that offensive.
yitzchokmParticipantI believe the Devri chaim (and others )held them to be chametz (he didn’t give a reason) and held that they are not to be used even after yom tov w/o selling it to a goy.
The rabunim of the yisuv before the war also came out against machine matzah
yitzchokmParticipantlesschumras-
as stuck pointed out, the bal shem followed the ariz’l.
Are we now comparing R’ Moshe’s son in-law to the ariz’l?
yitzchokmParticipantsimcha613
enlighten me, please.
The mo, by definition, looks to modernize the orthodox movement.
Pray tell, what do you think about Metzitzah B’Peh? should we “modernize” it because it may be “unnecessary”?
because “tims have changed”?
because the goy laughs at us?
because it’s barbaric?
because we are now “enlightened” and understand and now know better then our forefathers?

Why would you say I haven’t read it?
I believe that some of the points it brings out may be wrong.
The point of Artscroll ect books is that they have some sort of haskomus, stating that it reflects torah hashkafa.
btw,
popa, you being a woman and all, what does that make you?
yitzchokmParticipantThere where stained glass windows.
And on the tables and chairs too!
yitzchokmParticipantThe Rabbi blumenkrantz book has a updated list
Last year, one of the koshrith org. put together a list.
April 2, 2012 1:43 pm at 1:43 pm in reply to: if you're married and haven't read "Men are from Mars & Women are from Venus…. #865141yitzchokmParticipantThink,
I’m not sure it’s the correct hashkafa for everyone to read.
yitzchokmParticipantSam,
It’s not a personal attack. It’s my understanding of the MO movement.
yitzchokmParticipantcherrybim-
I use exactly 8 “produced” items. Oh well
yitzchokmParticipantpopa_bar_abba
Correct.
I wonder why people are so quick to give up their Mesorah based on a news report.
According to Sam, and others (MO, like Feif) everything we do as Jews can and should be questioned. Because, as they will explain, as long as G-d Himself didn’t say to do it <b>this</b> way, the MO will ask why don’t we do it <i>that</i> way. (Or do it at all.) it’s their attitude towards yiddishkite.
According to a real Doc, Dr. Daniel S. Berman, MD, F.A.C.P., Chief of Infectious-Disease at New York Westchester Square Hospital, there is NO definitive link between Mpb and those deaths.
To those looking to question yiddishkite, even a rumor that some phd made up is enough to throw it all away. for shame.
yitzchokmParticipantcherrybim-
what makes you say so? I dont.
April 1, 2012 2:06 am at 2:06 am in reply to: Separate Times For Bochurim & Sem Girls In Gateshead #1029678yitzchokmParticipantA sheep
Lol
It’s complicated!
March 30, 2012 10:51 pm at 10:51 pm in reply to: Separate Times For Bochurim & Sem Girls In Gateshead #1029674yitzchokmParticipantI think people don’t understand the concept of a ke’helah. In the olden days, the ruv of the ke’helah made the rules. What he said went, no two ways about it. The only times there was any problems was when there where people who weren’t frum. a
Gateshead community seems to be such a ke’helah. Hence, if the ruv ok and wants this rule, then that’s that.
The jewish Community in other places around the world, sadly lack rules because they don’t realty belong to ke’helahs.
yitzchokmParticipantToi’s correct. That’s the legal bases.
March 26, 2012 7:13 pm at 7:13 pm in reply to: Should Unhealthy Foods Be Legislated Against? #863073yitzchokmParticipantThe fact that there’s a extra tax on tobacco products is wrong to begin with.
The warnings should be unconstitutional, It’s legality is questionable.
TO those who are in favor of such tax,
Where does it end?
Tax on salt? (See Bloomberg, 2011)
Extra tax on soda? (see Bloomberg 2011)
War on trans fat? (see Bloomberg 2009)
ect, ect.
Keep government out of our lives!

March 26, 2012 12:36 am at 12:36 am in reply to: Anyone knows about side affects of this diet??? #862488yitzchokmParticipantyitzchokmParticipantLogician’s right (this time) of course. There was a good chance of something going wrong. You were lucky, B’h. Why would you advise others to try their luck? A quick search shows breech babies, delivered naturally, have much higher mortality rates.
Regarding Dr. Mendelsohn, he was a known quack. He died over 25 years ago. At the time his “eye opening book” was dismissed as pseudo science. 30 years later he’s still wrong.
yitzchokmParticipantHersi-
Thanks.
Wolf
I’ll try to contacting you.
yitzchokmParticipantmidwesterner
Can your friend make my parking tickets disappear?
yitzchokmParticipantLogicion
I’m not sure what you’re referring to
yitzchokmParticipantwolf-
I;ll give you a proper response later tonight, iy’h.
yitzchokmParticipantOneOfMany-
You are right. It’s not THE standard. It’s their standard. You standard is what you were mekabul from your rabunnim.
yitzchokmParticipantHaKatan-
as Mom pointed out, I don’t believe you have the right to make that judgement call, given that THEIR rabunnim are ok with their hanhogus.
Logician-
you wrote that you hope I’m not married…..
That’s personal. And very very very insulting.
In regards to the C”I, I believe the Bias Yisrol had the right to either:
Argue with the C”I, or,
Agree with him and understood that the hanhogus he implemented are not contrary to the C”I.
Toi-
compering “chiyuv ksubah” to holding hands is silly. It’s not “nechlal” in the chiyuv. There’s a time and place for everything.
Your chosen teacher said to daven. He didn’t give you clear guidelines. Ger on the other hand has such guidelines.
yitzchokmParticipantOneOfMany-
I stand by my comparison in reply to Sam. His comment,comparing the subject to pretzels is wrong.
The ger way of life was being ridiculed by this forum, which is wrong. It’s not being touted as being the standard for others to follow. Proof is that most still have no idea what that standard is. (Sorry to say, but I doubt you have a clear picture.)
Still, I believe it’s fair to say that living as a porush, even wrongly so, has more “intrinsic” kedusha and tahara then other lifestyles.
I’m not sure why this topic is being discussed at all. It is a very private matter. I held out posting almost a week because of this.
yitzchokmParticipantOneOfMany-
Question: What does the concept of “kodesh atah b’muter luch” refer to?
What do our chzal mean when they say to “refrain from engaging in excessive conversation with one’s wife”?
There is, obviously, a concept which tell us that although something is mutter for you to do, refraining from doing so is praiseworthy.
Logician-
Frivolously, according to Ger they are to be avoided, unless obligated to do so.
Frivolously eating pretzels, according to all is ok.
My personal life is of no relevance to you. Thanks for asking.
I, for one, am not a fan of the ger way of life. But that’s their minhug. saying it’s non-nonsensical is foolish. They have there me’koros and rabunnim.
yitzchokmParticipantSam, logician,
How would you explain the concept? Just because somthing is kosher, doesn’t mean you should do it. As men we have obligations. That we must do. Other actions, while mutter, should, according to “ger” thought, be avoided.
Yita-
Other then with your wife- yes. It most certainly is.
yitzchokmParticipantSam,
I don’t follow your logic. Your comparing an act (holding hands with one’s wife) that you are forbidden to do at all (besides the wife, which is “mutter”) to an act that Jews can do at any time. You are compareing eating pretzelsto act of (with the wrong perosn) avack aryis. Good one.
yitzchokmParticipantWolfishMusings,
I believe I’ve answered your question.
yitzchokmParticipantWolfishMusings,
Yes, there’s a concept of “kodesh atah b’muter luch”
March 14, 2012 4:17 am at 4:17 am in reply to: Do any Brooklyn Rabbonim say its OK to report molesters to police first? #860089yitzchokmParticipantlongarekel
maybe learning some daf yomi will will clear your head.
your suggestion is stupid, idiotic, and very immature.
deciding someone’s guilty enough to be killed because you think he’s deservent, shows what kind of shallow mind you really have. perhaps ask your ruv, the same when you asked about daf yomi, what he thinks about this matter. tell him your brilliant idea
March 14, 2012 2:57 am at 2:57 am in reply to: Do any Brooklyn Rabbonim say its OK to report molesters to police first? #860087yitzchokmParticipantkfb,
op didn’t say he witnessed S/A. (s)he’s asking a trollish question.
regarding going to the police before asking a ruv,
why wouldn’t you ask? do you not believe your ruv knows the halocha??
and if you don’t believe him, it may be time to pick a new one
yitzchokmParticipantnishtdayngesheft,
avhaben,
Bowwow,
In normal sporting events, yes, Ticketmaster will charge a fee for giving you the ticket. that’s because they make their money by charging this fee.
When selling tickets to the syium on the other hand, people (at least I) don’t expect Aguda to take the extra fee.
yitzchokmParticipantJosh31
true. i guess in the subconsciousness, it makes more sense.
Frumguy,
I don’t mind Aguda making money of it. I would think, though, that it’s deceptive advertising.
Untimely, since i have no other venue to buy this ticket, they win. BUT……….
yitzchokmParticipantSam
Really? I always find it interesting when people say that a prominent Rov would make fun of a minhag.
