He is not complaining that this vinegar-free horseradish is being sold in the supermarket and that Jews are consequently being nichshal - he is simply getting people's input on whether HIS minhag would allow him to have this horseradish or not - i.e. if others have the same minhag as he does, do they eat this product? Or, a question even for those without this minhag, do people think that based on the principle of this minhag, which clearly has to do with eating foods that are simanim for a sweet year and refraining from those that are bitter/sour, would HE be allowed to make an exception for this product which is less sour than your standard horseradish?</p> <p>iced - I don't know. Good question. You def won't go to gehinom, either way, and I doubt G-d will condemn you to a bitter year for having horseradish, but it is your family minhag, which certainly has some weight. Try your local orthodox rabbi? </p> http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/cute-or-funny-simanim-for-rosh-hashana#post-407084 Thu, 20 Sep 2012 14:01:35 +0000 Sam2 407084@http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/ <p>WIY: Only Egoz has the Gematria of Cheit.

For the last couple of years, I've been asked to give drashas on Shabbos and Yom Tov, including the Yomim Noraim. While I certainly don't feel qualified to teach Torah publicly, I agreed to the kehillah's request. I'm OK with public speaking. Some Shabbosim I hit a home run, most of the time it's a ground ball. Doing this every week, I don't get nervous or concerned. But the Yomim Noraim are different.</p> <p>I've given the Rosh Hashanah drasha for a couple of years. I didn't grow up orthodox (more traditional conservative), so my only memorable rabbinic speeches came on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur (I generally wasn't in shul otherwise). And these were big deals. People come once a year, they expect to hear something monumental. And like every year, I'm at a loss as to what to say.</p> <p>So, if you had a change to pick the subject of the Rosh Hashanah drasha that you're going to hear, what would you pick?</p> <p>Much appreciated,<br /> The Rashbak </p>
