i retract the absoluteness of my previous statement:
Rav Sternbuch shlita pointed out that custom is nevertheless to be stringent because it is hard to make sure that water not drip onto the floor.”
you are a hairsbreadth of being over a d’oraisa …you press down on the towel a little bit too hard and you are over schita
that is completely untrue
there is no problem whatsoever of sckita with drying your hair with a towel since you are squeezing liquid from a solid into a solid. it is the same exact concept as squeezing a lemon into solid food.
the problem only arises if you squeeze your hair onto the floor. and then it is not d’Oraisa, because you dont want the water.
this is what Rav Pinchus said and this is what he held.
ask your Rav if you are still unsure
unless someone who is knowledgeable in Halachah would like to enter into this discussion it is closed
i dont want anyone here to think a possible chilul Shabbos is mutar based on a hediot persons interpretation of Halacha
1. Mod -80, I know you’re a doc, but a poisek also?
followed by 2. Mod -80, I’m not a doc or a poisek; but I heard from one of the gedolei Poskim in our time that everybody has to be a poisek for themselves and sometimes their family.
okay, i see
see MB 340:2
see the 39 melachos pages 673-680
most Poskim as far as i can tell rule it assur de Rabbonin at least. in certain circumstances assur d’Oraisa
Rav Shimshon Pinchus calls it EVEN DURING THE WEEK assur as an action that will certainly lead to chillul Shabbos
im not qualified to enter into a Halachic discussion, if someone else wants to argue in lumbdus with you, please do.
health, so youre a Posek also?
the problem with biting nails as opposed to clipping is Shabbos Kodesh
biting is an irresistible habit and is very likely to lead to chillul Shabbos
putting tissues in the pocket is also a problem on Shabbos, if there is no eruv, as again one may well come to be michalel Shabbos
1. gazing in a mirror
2. allowing a goy to cut your hair
it is mutar to even concentrate on your image in a mirror to protect you from the goy.
it is mutar for a goy to cut your hair if you can observe him in a mirror
this stuff will DEFINITELY work
unless you decide to stop using it because you cant take the “pressure” of not biting your nails
but i imagine little by little that pressure will become very small or even vanish eventually
this one has a LOT of glowing reviews

read the reviews on this page
there is a nail polish like substance you can buy
the slightest taste is extremely bitter
it is made to help people stop this habit
youve got 30 minutes to solve the riddle
Go!
im not 100% sure about the King
the other scenarios are pretty logical though
how about i get half credit for my second answer and we put the Melech answer on hold for now
its not Tzitzis and shaatnez
that would be related activities
these are two unrelated activities
see my original post
it would be similar to the wearing a yellow shirt and walking on grass situation
it is a Mitzvah for a Melech to wear a Sefer Torah on his arm (a very small one)
your answer is interesting, but i still expect full credit for my answers. 🙂
thats riddle etiquette, a true answer is acceptable even if it is not the answer that the asker was expecting.
hint
this riddle applies only to men, not women
okay,youre looking for something else, but my answer is correct ,no?
how about, it is wrapped around ones body in order to smuggle it out of a situation where it would be destroyed, by a fire (no other way to get it out) or during a shmad
a Melech
if you would like a hint, let me know
i clarified my original post on this, see there
yes
now a similar one (also famous):
two different and unrelated activities activities, each one is assur when done by itself
but when done at the same time they are both mutar
made up example: wearing a yellow shirt is assur
walking on grass is assur
but if you walk on grass while wearing a yellow shirt, both walking on the grass and wearing the yellow shirt are mutar at that time
thats great for you and your circumstances coke
but there are others who are different, dont judge everyone by your specific circumstances. thats why there are Poskim to ask shailos. thats why Poskim give heteros when they determine it is in order.
it is not necessarily laudable to suffer when it is not necessary, it may even mark one as a fool.
THERE IS NOTHING ASSUR ABOUT A HETER,
the Gedolim have always expended great effort to find heterim for people in need of them. to some, needing a shower can be a significant tzar.
there is nothing wrong for someone who has a need, a problem, to look for a Heter.
would you rather he didnt care about the Halachah and just go ahead and do it.
dont be a rodef, enjoy Yom Tov
this has appeared here before
two objects, one is mutar, one is assur
bring them together, the asur item becomes mutar, the mutar item becomes asur.
(it has nothing to do with the Parah Aduma)
The obligation to give tochacha is incumbant upon everyone, not just the Rabbonim.
true, but only if you know how, and are wise and sensitive enough. very few people today know how, and it is assur and extremely dangerous to administer such potent medicine unless you are an expert. dangerous to the giver more than the recipient.
because!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i actually added one
because the Holocaust happened to Jews
thank you so much for posting this
i wasnt aware of this
i owe you a great deal
thank you
Kesivah V’Chasima Tova
re: the food on Yom kippur, as I was the one who was making cold cut sandwiches for the kids during the break
no small thing, seriously, the aroma alone!
i envy your portion in Olam Ha Bah from that nissoin
this reminds me
for some reason after Yom Kippur i always have a taivah for cheerios…….and in a plastic bag.
daisy
the Brocha has no expiration date, so they should keep it active in Shamayim till needed
BP may you be zoche to be a zaide, and your wife a bubby, to many, many aineclach.
thank you ima
i wasnt fishing for compliments from the posters though. i already know how much they appreciate being moderated and having posts edited and deleted.
i was really fishing for compliments from the boss 😉
Last but not least, a debt of gratitude must be given to….
the moderators?
salt–slang for a sailor, someone who occasionally is lost at sea (see my last post for further details)
okay popa
Rationalism–the science of distributing and withholding from distribution, food and water when one is stranded at sea on a raft.

i have no idea what you are saying
i have zero interest in “philosophy” and “logic”
so i have no intention of joining this discussion, other than bringing what Rav Wolfson said
but please, enjoy
im not sure how this fits in here
but
Rabbi Moshe Wolfson, shlita, explains that the first time the Torah uses a word tells us its most fundamental meaning
the first time “kofer” was used was the pitch used to cover Moshes little basket.
he explains when Hashem blew of himself into Adam a deep unchanging and unquestioned Emunah and knowledge of Hashem was implanted.
this is merely “covered up” by the alien ideas around us and by our getting used to all the wonders that occur every moment (as explained in Chovos Ha Levovos)
that is why a kofer is called a kofer. he denies because his innate Emunah is “covered up”, not because he does not believe deep down.
pretty much, something like that.
it is not considered appropriate here to question the integrity of a fellow poster, (referring to posts that have since been deleted).
Rationalism–In epistemology and in its modern sense, rationalism is “any view appealing to reason as a source of knowledge or justification” (Lacey 286). In more technical terms it is a method or a theory “in which the criterion of the truth is not sensory but intellectual and deductive” (Bourke 263). Different degrees of emphasis on this method or theory lead to a range of rationalist standpoints, from the moderate position “that reason has precedence over other ways of acquiring knowledge” to the more extreme position that reason is “the unique path to knowledge” (Audi 771). Given a pre-modern understanding of reason, “rationalism” is identical to philosophy, the Socratic life of inquiry, or the zetetic interpretation of authority (open to the underlying or essential cause of things as they appear to our sense of certainty). In recent decades, Leo Strauss sought to revive Classical Political Rationalism as a discipline that understands the task of reasoning, not as foundational, but as maieutic.

MODERATORS:
WHERE IS MODERATOR 80 hanging around these days??
busy
thanks for asking
ps if my words seem a little out of synch with the comments above, i was referring primarily to numerous deleted posts (as well as the concept of there being such a thread in the first place)
after many thousands of times of the shomrin guarding our possessions and our lives and our children from perverts and worse, we, who have been protected, now we dare to convene here and sit in judgment of them.
how despicable and how lowly, how shameful.
you know if you would stop playing so much shuffleboard, you might not need so much coffee.
Heck, doing that was a lot easier than bringing over a cup of coffee to you in the retirement home every few hours.
Amen
