Shulchan Aruch, Even HaEzer 21:1
צריך אדם להתרחק מהנשים מאד מאד
A person must stay very far from women.
Is it an sin to sit next to a woman?
It is a sin to even enjoy looking at a woman’s pinky finger.
The State of Israel not only doesn’t include all of Eretz Yisroel, of course, as parts of Eretz Yisroel is in Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and Egypt, but the State of Israel also includes part of chutz la’aretz, for example Eilat.
What this all amounts to is that the State of Israel, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Lebanese Republic all have the same status and category. All three have some parts of Eretz Yisroel and all three have some parts of chutz la’aretz.
People can live in Eretz Yisroel in Lebanon or Jordan and other people can live in chutz la’aretz in the State of Israel.
KY, my response was a rhetorical reply to CTR’s assumption that those first having hachana prior to davening require dan lekaf zechus for starting to daven later as a result of the hachana.
Eli: Kissing a small child also shows love for him. Can you do that in shul?
“Let us try to dan lekaf zechus and say that those who daven at a late hour are busy with hachana for two hours.”
Should we also try to dan lekaf zechus and say that those who daven at an early hour didn’t skip hachana ?
Avi: There are different shittos as to when the correct zman is.
Avi: Your zman or my zman?
Sounds like there much be some traffic law requiring not to use your bright inappropriately.
GH: Shtika K’hodaah? 😉
GadolH: Had you posted on YWN/CR a decade ago as “sammygol”?
BenK: What kinds of videos are you referring to?
I thought this service was for business purposes only.
Avi, I’ll be bringing my phone to you when you have a chance.
Beautiful story, Doctor Pepper.
Great point, Reb Eliezer.
Why would anyone be bittul zman reading fiction?
Cry me a river for giving a hoot that Turkey is violating Syria’s Hafez Al Assad’s sovereignty.
Were you so worried when Bill Clinton violated Serbia’s sovereignty when he sent troops into Serbia’s Kosovo? That action by Clinton paved the way for Putin to do the same thing in the Crimea.
President Trump, may the RBS”O protect him, grant him health and long life and reign in power for many years as President, has been the Jews best friend in the Oval Office since George Washington.
Random: If it is after the fact you certainly cannot report the thief to the secular authorities.
The President did a beautiful job on Syria where he got America out of the country (not that I necessarily agree it was a good idea to get the U.S. out, but that is what Mr. Trump promised the voters before the election and has now delivered what he was elected to do) AND he got a ceasefire between the Turks and their Kurdish enemies.
Bravo and job well done.
Joseph- I’m just recalling the good old CR days, I think we used to fight alot back then(:
Hey, I’m more than happy to bring back the good ‘ole days. Say over a nice juicy shtickel of apikorsus and I’ll be down your back in a jiffy. 😂
This site has gotten very buggy over the last half a year or so.
HIE: Do you think couples without children for a long time sould not be given the kovod and inherent bracha of being kvatter at a Bris?
WB Hashem Is Everywhere! It’s been a long time since you’ve last commented.
Now that Google knows about it (this very thread on the YWN CR has now been indexed by Google), it is clear this place existed.
Dr. P: Has Congress moved April Fool’s to October?
(For the uninitiated: It wasn’t Dr. P’s story [which was wonderful] but rather his mere presence here.)
If Google doesn’t know about it, it never existed.
I approve of Godolhadorah’s comment.
Why on earth would the chosson or kallah give a hoot what color suits their brothers are wearing (assuming they are Shabbosdik)?!
אין לנו להשען אלא על אבינו שבשמים
We can only rely on HKB”H. We cannot rely on the Israelis, the Israeli government, the Israeli army or anyone else.
We need to daven to the RBS”O.
אין לנו להשען אלא על אבינו שבשמים
Do not confuse Eretz Yisroel with the Zionist State of Israel.
Eretz Yisroel does not need any goy country. OTOH, the State of Israel is a vassal state of the United States and couldn’t survive without it.
Triangle K is on Hebrew National.
Is a Yid even allowed to sell treif food if he doesn’t know that the customer isn’t Jewish? He’s likely feeding treif to Yidden.
You need to frame it in terms of “protecting women” from harassment. Thereby by identifying the gender of nearby seatholders you “allow women to choose to sit next to a woman to avoid the risk of harassment”.
Framing it as such can get it implemented whereas framing it as to help protect morality will get it shot down by the leftists and anti-religious.
DY: Can you cite any bona fide halachic basis that mesira can be engaged in this case?
Syag, I’m suggesting why you may be seeing a different behavior between Chrome and Firefox. One may be logged in and the other not. This is a new bug in the CR that developed in the last couple weeks.
Syag: It makes a difference whether you’re logged into the CR or not in how it displays incorrectly.
For the past week or two the main page of the CR has broken and been displaying incorrectly.
Abba: No tow truck will tow a car blocking a driveway unless it was first ticketed. And reporting it to the government to issue it a ticket cannot be done due to mesira.
There Ribono Shel Olam should give United States President Donald John Trump the strength, stamina, health, wisdom and blessings to remain in the Oval Office until the secular year 2025; including winning an overwhelming victory in 2020.
CTL, I’ll say again — as long as the man’s breathing, even if on a ventilator, Comrade Bernie will be in the race until the Democrat convention.
Philosopher, I’m 100% mochel even though I don’t remember anything you’ve ever done that necessitates mechila. Thank you for your mechila.
And I ask everyone else for mechila too. And grant the same.

CA, I must commend you for your improvement. You responded this time within 24 hours of being addressed. Let’s try to up the ante to bring your response time to within 12 hours in the future. Even with that goal your standard is still lower than that what you expect from the mods.
Dina D’malchusa applies regarding laws affecting the relationship between a Yid and the government; it explicitly does not govern the relationship between two Yidden. The latter is exclusively governed by Choshen Mishpat.
CA, your obligation to respond in a timely manner to posts addressed to you is no less than the mods obligations to approve posts in a timely manner.
yytz: In Yerushalayim by the Beis Hamikdash thousands of Yidden shared the mikva at the same time. Are you accusing Chazal of permitting a lack of tznius?
flatbisher: are you referring to Rabbi Beck’s shul?
flatbusher: the frum world is the real world. The rest of the world is crazy. In Europe we got married in our early teens. Even in America most states have minimum marriage ages of between 14 and 16. Even New York’s minimum age for marriage was 14 until less than 2 years ago. Massachusetts’ minimum is 12 for girls and 14 for boys. California has no minimum age.
