Wolf,
Do you really not know the point he was trying to make, or do you merely wish him to state it as a defined prelude for debate?
Rav Soloveitchik and Rabbi Yosef Eliyahu Henkin paskened that a 40 inch high mechitzah is kosher l’chatchila.
This is what I quoted. This is what I DO NOT BELIEVE and I see no reason in that footnote to change my belief. It is certainly possible that they permit such a mechitza in a shas d’ chak. What I absolutely do not believe is that they permit it l’chatchila as in the above quote from another post.

I’m sorry, I do not believe that.
Perhaps the reference was to a mechitzah for the purposes of a rshus or a Succah.
absolute unprofessional and uncaring attitudes and incompetence.
I personally would disagree. I think it’s more a matter of arrogance combined with foolishness.
I prefer to leave it vague
He has actually been posting quite a bit.
Lashon Hora about whom?
Excellent!
Of course, although “everyone” is probably acceptable, “anyone” would be more proper.
But that’s my last correction 😉
True.
I’m just kidding.
“but” should be capitalized.
One shouldn’t start a sentence with a preposition.
“what” should have an apostrophe.
“Its” should have an apostrophe.
Your next “sentence” is a run on sentence and needs to be punctuated or divided.
“dont” needs an apostrophe.
“familys is spelled: “families”
“everythings” needs an apostrophe.
“its” needs an apostrophe, two instances.
I only point this out because I know you are interested in proper spelling and grammar, as evidenced in your post in another thread.
Jewish girl:
“Jewish” should be capitalized.
“Don’t” should be capitalized.
“Don’t” should have an apostrophe.
tanaim stories are written to teach lessons
just checking, by Tanaaim “stories” being “written” you mean events being recorded, not made up stories, right?
Pranks are not only not “positive things”, they are assur.
Nevertheless no one here is encouraging or condoning pranks. They are only describing pranks that have occurred. A number of Gedolim (as children) and even Tannaim have done pranks. R’ Elazar ben R’ Shimon once put a neighbors cow on top of his roof.
Stillman was a physician.
He popularized the first ketogenic diet.
It essentially consisted of lean meat, eggs, lean fish, cheese, lots of water, nothing else.
Very low fat, essentially 0 carbs and a great deal of protein. Extremely effective for short term weight loss.
The liquid protein fad diet was patterned after the stillman diet.
As for giving credit, the atkins diet is a modified version of the stillman diet, which is essentially the same but much stricter.
I surmise he WOULD be Yotzi. You are yotzi in any language as long as you understand that you are counting days and understand the number of days. I don’t see why “any language” should not include a basic mathematical language. So I would think.
I can’t give you a source but I am not so sure that Chazal said lice do not come from eggs. I believe they said lice do spontaneously arise from the earth or decaying matter or whatever it is. I don’t believe they excluded other forms of genesis as well. This is how I recall it.
Or for that matter they may have considered “eggs” to be a normal part of the complex components of dirt, as we consider spores, bacteria, fungi, and decaying organic matter to be.
I also am not so sure “lice” is the correct translation of the organism that is being referred to.
My criteria is this:
If it’s important to your mother, give her the attention she feels she is entitled to.
If it doesn’t mean anything to her, it shouldn’t to you.
I can live with it but it’s becoming a real mess. I have to keep zooming in and out as I go from one page to another to keep the font size readable and keep the ends of the pages from getting cut off.
I would consider this way pre-beta and go back until a LOT more work is put into this
these irrational fears
The fear is not irrational.
left and right margins are cut off, if i zoom out to be able to see the whole page at once, then the text size is too small.
works okay on my widescreen at home
very nice looking though
F5, etc doesn’t help
He also was the inventor of the first artificial sweetener.
I don’t know what the problem is, it is certainly not intentional. Actually this site is quite fast on every computer I’ve used (home, work, friends, etc.) So it seems the problem is probably on the YWN end but only happens in relation to certain systems.
The moderators don’t have anything to do with issues like this. Please contact YW Editor using the contact link up above
I didn’t realize that number shows up on the non-moderator view.
In case anyone is interested there are 2,387 posts in this thread so far
This is not a wise thing to do, especially when purposeless.
Make sure it’s not a fruit tree.
<a>blue text</a>the above is exactly how you would do it to make “blue text” appear in blue.
<X>your text here</X>
replace X with “a” for blue. (without the quote marks)
replace X with “em” for italics
replace X with “strong” for bold
replace X with “blockquote” for blockquote.
hyperlinks is complicated, let someone else do it
pictures?
There is a Machlokes as to whether the location of the person follows his head or rov guf
Very, very funny!
true
I got it without the link.
You have 5 minutes to edit your post, but no one else can see it until a moderator approves it.
You can’t do much more than italics, bold, and blue font. See the links posted in the threads suggested to you earlier
I must agree, chesed, as one who has not really been following this debate, I cannot understand what is being quoted and what is the response in your last post.
Use quotation-marks at least.
Personally, I certainly can’t answer your questions any further than i have. You are fundamentally asking to understand the “mind” and “motivations” of Hashem. More appropriate would be for a grasshopper to ask the motivations of the Secretary of State in his decision not to meet with a certain dignitary.
If the questions truly are causing problems for you, you need to talk it over with a wise Talmid Chochom.
In order to receive the reward we must be fit vessels to receive it. The reward is closeness to Hashem. In the spiritual sense, closeness is similarity. Hashem is a pure Giver. We must become givers. What is the most precious thing we can give? Ourselves, our free will, giving it to Hashem and giving to His children. Only then can we become, in a manner of speaking, like Hashem.
To be created to just receive, to purely take, is the opposite of Hashem and would be an inherent, intrinsic contradiction to closeness with Hashem.
Now if you answer:”But Hashem can do anything, why did He create the Universe like this?” then no answer will answer any of your questions.
Poster?! why poster? do i look like a piece of cardboard to you!
OK Dovv
It depends what you mean by “good” They are certainly all for the good. Would you request to have no more of them, C’V. Whether they are “pleasant” is another story, which depends on so many things but mostly on your Das and attitude, upbringing, and learning Mussar.
Probably the guy in charge is aware of this but if not you might want to raise your concern here:
How about if we name it: “The Thread Hijacked By It’s Own Name” ?
While the Yeshiva tries to maintain a limited-to-no Internet policy, the realities of modern life has dawned upon them.
There are more than one moderators who keep changing the title. I think this is going to be the never-ending title.
Should it be:”There is more than one moderator who keeps”?
