This is all designed by Hashem to remind Yidden that EVERYTHING we ever did in our lives has been recorded; and will be replayed to us after 120.
Has anyone noticed that most of the worst pandemics over the last half century originated in China or around that part of the world?
Yankel and Yanky are out with Yaakov in?
TY
Yseribus: As was later learned retrospectively (as much of COVID-19 is, since it isn’t well understood yet even by the best doctors and new medical information about the desease is learned daily), the vast majority of those with COVID symptoms indeed have the desease not are undiagnosed of it, due to a great shortage of test kits. Indeed, the official count of people with COVID vastly undercounts the real number, which is multiples of the official count.
bk613: Dr. Z has a very small sample size; so it is very plausible for him to have a 100% success rate.
Moderator, can you move this thread to DECAFFEINATED? Thank you!
According to virtually all rabbonim, even those that during other years are meikel and permit mishing, this year it is strongly prohibited to mish.
On the other hand, according to some poskim, due to the special situation this year, it may be permissible to eat outside (non homemade) prepared food this year, assuming it carries a highly reliable hechsher for Pesach.
I would posit there’s greater compliance among frum Yidden than among overall society.
I second the motion.
Check Rabbi Blumenkrantz’s Pesach book.
GHD: Why do you assume your premise is correct? I believe there’s widespread compliance, perhaps in the area of 99% of the frum populace, with the guidelines for the terrible crisis.
There’s a hook on the phone, if you’re using a plain old telephone service, that when you put the phone on it it’ll hang up the call. Alternatively, the phone may have a FLASH button that if pressed will disconnect the phone.
If using a mobile phone simply hit the END button.
For years already many hospitals and doctors have freely and actively been intentionally letting patients die rather than attempt to save their lives, even though they potentially could save their lives, when the doctor decided that a patient’s life isn’t worth living.
The above has been true even when there have been plenty of medical resources without any shortages.
Thanks for sharing.
There are people today who can advise us the reason why Hashem sent this mageifa.
squeak: While neither is justifiable, the taaveh now is different than the yetzer horah to learn on T”B. In the latter case we’re all trained and acquainted with the halacha; in the present (thankfully) unusual circumstances, we are much less (if at all) acquainted on the proper way to react and change to an (for us) unprecedented halachic course.
OhhMyyGoosh, Mammele… Say it ain’t so! You gotta be kiddin’.
Wolf: May this IY”H be the right one.
What are the differences between Instacart, Fresh Direct and Amazon Fresh?
Reb Eliezer, there’s no doubt that both China and Iran are lying about their numbers by many magnitudes.
Dr. Roberts is a reasonable, educated and intelligent man by all descriptions.
America is a bigger country.
China and Iran have much higher numbers than they’re officially reporting.
Dr. Richard Roberts, a pharmaceutical executive, among other highly intelligent and educated men, have expressed a belief that there’s a strong possibility that the novel coronavirus was designed as a biological agent by a foreign government or entity that may have escaped their laboratory unintentionally.
The Zoom so-called heter was a farce and ludicrous.
Wolf, when Beis Din set the chodesh on a month by month basis rather than the current calendrical cycle, they still knew early enough when it would be a leap year that celebrating Purim during two separate months didn’t happen, as the leap year was declared in the beginning of Adar.
If I’m not mistaken. (It’s happened.)
Also remember that Purim only began during the period between the two Beis Hamikdash’s. I mention this since the procedure for declaring leap years changed in that interval.
CA, why?
You didn’t justify or explain your answer.
Chas V’Shalom should anyone get the wrong idea into their head that davening without a Minyan is preferable.
Does a b’chor born via Cesarian Section have to have a Siyum or fast?
Maybe use a car service or Uber to get it?
I’m surprised that any intelligent person would seriously consider or even answer this “idea”.
CTL, yet you lose the privileges of being a b’chor.
For those b’chors unable to attend a Siyum on Erev Pesach, they will have a fast day. A Siyum isn’t obligatory for us. And it isn’t like they lack experience with fasting.
So no need for that “Yikes” smiley. Rather it should be a happy one: 😁
We’re making an illicit Siyum.
Just ten of us. So we’re within current regulations. And maintaining a six-foot distance.
They OP’s list is biased in favor of relatively more recent releases.
There’s no problem going to someone’s house during these difficult times. As such there’s no problem going to your Rov’s house and selling it in person just like you do every other year. There needn’t be 10+ people in the house with the Rov. Everyone can come at a different time; even by appointment.
per the guidelines this means not crossing his threshold
Milhouse: Just because some have been doing it doesn’t indicate all agree it is acceptable.
Machlokes.
