YW Moderator-80Member
no i didnt ask him that. the fact that he said i should sit on the jury implied that i should conduct myself in that capacity according to the laws of the state.
he didnt say anything about a need to investigate the Jews degree of frumkeit.
YW Moderator-80Memberi asked a Posek various questions before i went on jury duty.
he said i could be a juror on a case where the defendant is a Jew.
but i could not participate in litigation between two Jews.
YW Moderator-80MemberAnd yet, many frum Jews would consider me a heretic and a lousy human being anyway.
lousy: the condition of being infected with lice
YW Moderator-80Membersounds scary
YW Moderator-80Memberthey are also predicting, based on previous trends, a wide variation in weather around the globe tomorrow
YW Moderator-80Memberwell they are saying that based only on previous trends, i dont know if they have any advance data on that
June 16, 2011 7:09 pm at 7:09 pm in reply to: Yet another tznius issue (but probably not a crisis) #778281YW Moderator-80MemberMod 80 – I dont think a single poster feels this is an issue
haifagirl does
that is reason enough for her to post.
and if no one agrees with her the thread will soon die down from natural attrition
unless a few posters get all riled up because they dont feel this is an important enough issue
June 16, 2011 7:03 pm at 7:03 pm in reply to: Yet another tznius issue (but probably not a crisis) #778280YW Moderator-80MemberI think when you make issues out of nothing then it can turn ppl away. why are you making a big stink out of nothing?!?!?!?!
she doesnt agree with you that it is nothing.
she didnt make a big stink.
June 16, 2011 6:45 pm at 6:45 pm in reply to: Yet another tznius issue (but probably not a crisis) #778274YW Moderator-80Memberi know haifagirl
she is an intelligent, insightful person.
this particular issue is significant to her
because you, and a few others think it is nutty, i should close the thread?
and what does this have to do with the fact that there are other more serious tznius issues? do you mean to say that no one can point out a problem that others may have not been aware of because it doesnt rate high enough on your importance scale?
we shouldnt take measures against salmonella because it is not as severe as botulism?
YW Moderator-80Memberim not sure how i came to use it either
ill switch to ztl (b’li neder) (or should i say neder b’li)
thanks
YW Moderator-80Memberi dont know
do you think ztl is better?
YW Moderator-80MemberRabbi Avigdor Miller, tzl, who said it is very innapropriate to celebrate “thanksgiving” in any way, and every effort should be made, if possible, to have nothing to do with it,
also said that every frum Jew should publicly celebrate July 4. on his shul they would display a us flag.

YW Moderator-80Memberdo you think there is a problem with them, msk?
June 16, 2011 4:59 pm at 4:59 pm in reply to: Yet another tznius issue (but probably not a crisis) #778265YW Moderator-80Membershe stated her point clearly, openly, and unambiguously. why are you asking what her point is?
if you missed it she stated that she felt the location of the patches on these girls uniforms was inappropriate and there are other more appropriate places the patches could be located.
why dont you state YOUR point instead of simply being critical by innuendo
YW Moderator-80Memberadvocacy of mesirah
i would say advocacy, instigation, and facilitation of mesira
YW Moderator-80MemberWhy should there be a problem?
thats a good question.
what are the relevant Halachas?
what did the Poskim say?
YW Moderator-80Membermaybe it depends on the area of the country
by me, id say about a fourth of the men do it
the Rabbaim generally dont
could be youre right that it was originally a purely Sephardi minhag
theres a lot of mixing nowadays
YW Moderator-80Memberahh…i see
thanks again
YW Moderator-80Memberits done by plenty of Ashkenazim
YW Moderator-80Memberthaanks daas
i dont get the “even”
it seems pashut that he could marry a woman who cant bear children
the question should be can he EVEN marry a woman who CAN bear children
YW Moderator-80Memberjust have to say bpt
your comments on a variety of threads lately have been insightful
YW Moderator-80Memberis a man who is physically unable to have children obligated to get married?
is he allowed to marry a woman who is capable of having children? (or at least there is no indication that she is not capable)
YW Moderator-80Membertake the mushrooms
i know you dont like them but you are low on certain antioxidants that the mushrooms can supply.
try the pumpernickle, i think as an accompaniment you will find it superior to the plain roll. give it a try
you wont be dissapointed.
YW Moderator-80Membercoke
easy
caesar salad topped with grilled salmon chunks
YW Moderator-80Memberi would think you would be the type for a hamburger on pumpernickle, medium well, with some grilled onions and mushrooms on it.
i leave the condiments up to you but i dont think you need any.
YW Moderator-80Memberthanks shlishi
i didnt go back and look at the other thread
June 14, 2011 5:01 pm at 5:01 pm in reply to: Wouldnt the Mekubal see whats in store for Weiner? #776412YW Moderator-80MemberKind of “if you know he’s a mekubal, then he ain’t.” 🙂
yes, pretty much.
except that some mekubalim have chosen for their own reasons to become known as such, or they became known against their wishes.
YW Moderator-80Membermaybe what was meant by there are “numerous reasons” it is “assur for certain people to marry”.
is: assur for certain people to marry each other, like a grusha to a Kohein.
June 14, 2011 4:55 pm at 4:55 pm in reply to: Wouldnt the Mekubal see whats in store for Weiner? #776410YW Moderator-80Memberthere are a number of frauds who are mekabel the title of mekubal with no justification.
then there are those who truly learn Kabbalah. most are silent about it.
YW Moderator-80Memberwolf understands this
reread and rethink his post
YW Moderator-80Memberyou want a corned beef sandwich on rye (with seeds) with some mustard. served warm.
or alternatively, the same thing, but pastrami instead of corned beef
June 14, 2011 3:56 pm at 3:56 pm in reply to: Need remedy for crazy pregnancy hormones during last weeks…. #777678YW Moderator-80Membercum laude – Your post sounds like you’re a student in some sort of social work or psychology program. The CR isn’t the best place to try out what you learned. How about suggesting she go see a mental health professional?
unbelievable, but not surprising at all.
“doctor” heal thyself
YW Moderator-80MemberDont know mine
Off the scale
YW Moderator-80Memberthis is getting ridiculous:
its pl A tonic, not pl U tonic
YW Moderator-80MemberAGAIN
no one is compelled to produce a source
no one is compelled to retract if he so fails to do
if someone is asked for a source (or even “hounded” for one) and is unable to provide one, you may consider the significance of that fact, as well as everyone else.
i personally could not give you the source for 98% of what i hold, without timeconsuming research.
YW Moderator-80Memberprobably not
YW Moderator-80Memberprobably not
YW Moderator-80Memberprobably not
YW Moderator-80Memberhe can still claim it
YW Moderator-80Memberhearing, meaning one, sense of detecting vibrations in the air
hearing, meaning two, a court appearance
YW Moderator-80Memberpretty strong language veteran
try reading my post again
i stated no opinion suggesting he should not give her a ride and i certainly did not say it was a gezeirah
i extrapolated nothing.
i was responding in a general way to the post above mine authored by middlepath wherein he stated the ridiculousness of the concept of not doing something with the assumption that it will always lead to a problem, implying since an action doesnt always lead to a problem it should be okay to do it.
my explanation was that there is a Torah principle to protect ourselves from transgressions which the Chochomim did time after time.
i did not say i, in the manner of the Chochomim, hereby assur him from giving her a ride.
i dont know if ive explained this properly but i have no more time. i just am angered by your reply to me and felt a need to respond
as far as im concerned i will not carry this further after Shavuos
YW Moderator-80Memberyes
but leave out the self-deprecation
YW Moderator-80Memberyou can also gain its cooperation by convincing it you are its friend
tell it how much you knead it
YW Moderator-80Memberi dont think that will be necessary
waterboarding is quicker and less damaging than beating it
YW Moderator-80Memberno, im not that outraged.
what did the publishers say in their defense when you spoke to them?
YW Moderator-80Memberwhen someone respects someone elses opinion, usually they dont say it is ridiculous.
the concern is not that something will defininitely happen, or even likely to happen. we dont put ourselves in situations that might lead to transgressions, most Takanas Chochomim are based on this principle, muktzah, yichud, yayin nesech and on and on
June 7, 2011 3:40 pm at 3:40 pm in reply to: Why do politicians and others think they'll get away with dirt? #775780YW Moderator-80Memberindisgressions
indiscretion
comes from “indiscrete”
sorry but i think haifa girl is on vacation
YW Moderator-80MemberI am frustrated that almost no one is outraged about the article in question.
i am outraged about the article.
YW Moderator-80Memberokay
thanks to everyone for the support
and thanks to those who would have liked to express their dislike for my moderation style but refrained from doing so.
