☕ DaasYochid ☕Participant
Square, i disagree with the description of eggs on whatever list that’s from – scientists go back and forth every year or so on whether or not egg yolks are bad, if they increase “bad” cholesterol, or if they’re actually very healthy. The “one egg a day” idea is also constantly changing and is pretty outmoded. Eggs are a good source of protein if nothing else.
Yes, eggs are healthy.
The original study showing eggs cause high cholesterol was funded by the Cereal Board. At least thats what Atkins claimed in his book 🙂
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAvira, you ask whether I’m sufficiently convinced of my understanding of Chazal, Rishonim and science to stake my Olam Habo on my beliefs. Just so we’re clear, the answer is yes.
Big mistake. Someone who can make the egregious error of thinking the Ibn Ezra wouldn’t know a Gemara is totally unqualified to have an opinion on these matters.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantKashrus organizations are for the purpose of determining that the ingredients don’t contain foods and/or byproducts of the foods (fish/meats etc) enumerated in Torah shebeK’sav and Baal Peh to be impure/unfit (in the common vernacular “treif”) as well as basar b’cholov.
If you want to know what’s healthy see a doctor.
They wouldn’t allow a mixture of fish and meat to be sold.
That’s a sakana issue.
However, something which doesn’t reach the level of sakana, but is “unhealthy” is okay to eat in moderation for most people, so it’s okay to give a hechsher. How much to eat and who should avoid these foods entirely is indeed a discussion one should have with their doctor, but is not the hechsher’s responsibility.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIf someone steals their food, does that make it non-kosher?
One would hope that a hechsher wouldn’t certify a store selling stolen food
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantCoffee addict, not a raya one way or another.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThe posts aren’t gone, you can still read them in the thread.
But, yeah, bummer.☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWtsp: I’m glad you’re getting the help you need from those helping you.
You should not blame the schools, these types of issues are not discussed publicly by design. Now that you’re struggling, it may be hard for you to understand, but hopefully in a few years you’ll understand that dealing with it publicly would cause more harm than benefit.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantCommonsaychel, your posts calling out every thread as troll are getting tiresome, and more importantly, in the cases you’re wrong (and there’s no way for you to know how many times you’ve been wrong) it’s likely very hurtful.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThe instructions given is unclear for a computer programer as myself.
It has nothing to do with computer programming. There’s a website which archives the internet.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantBack to the OP, it’s pretty ridiculous to say it’s a problem to give a hechsher to products which most people can eat in moderation without any health risks.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantJust refer to your new wife as “my wife” instead of “Mrs. CTL”.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantMazel tov!
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantPlease?
☕ DaasYochid ☕Participantthe rebbe clearly said there wont be another rebbe
If that’s true, then this is is all his fault.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantNo, GH, not analogous.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThe comparison of household income of Teaneck vs. Lakewood is highly flawed.
CS made the valid point that the Lakewood firm community has spIlled over into adjacent townships.
There are other flaws in the comparison, though, as well.
What are the average ages of the heads of household? I would think Lakewood’s would be younger because of the constant influx from BMG bochurim who get married. Obviously, the longer people are in the workforce, the more they typically earn, so without these numbers, the comparison is unfair.
Even more important is that Lakewood has a large population of non Jewish low income families, which (correct me if I’m wrong) isn’t the case in Teaneck.
For the purpose of this discussion, one would need to compare frum families. Are there any statistics on that?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantBussted!

June 30, 2023 11:29 am at 11:29 am in reply to: Question of an ignorant, closed-minded Lubavitcher #2204587☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThe answer to the OP is that, no, it’s not a common discussion among Litvaks.
The simplest explanation for why it’s a popular discussion on the CR is because it’s controversial, with passionate opinions on both sides, and that’s what generates interest and responses on the CR
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWhether or not debunking the Rebbe being Moshiach is sinas chinom probably depends on the intent of the poster, and I don’t think it’s fair to judge someone’s intent as malicious unless it’s obvious.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIt may be a “only” a shtus, but it’s a dangerous and harmful one.
Still, the OP’s tayna doesn’t work – the false moshiach is still alive, so why would he need Moshiach min hameisim as a defense? Hrs not taynaing anything after he died.
I personally find Redleg’s tayna more compelling than the OP’s. Still more compelling is the fact that until the Rebbe’s petirah, the idea of Moshiach coming from the dead was never accepted as a mainstram position in Klal Yisroel, even in Chabad/Lubavitch. That’s why his petirah was so devastating to those who believed he was definitely Moshiach – because it totally didn’t fit the narrative. Some of those who couldn’t wrap their heads around the fact the Rebbe wasn’t Moshiach retrofit their hashkafa around his petirah, finding sources which may or may not support the notion – but at most those sources had the status of a daas yochid (bracing for comments about my screen name).
June 26, 2023 7:30 am at 7:30 am in reply to: The most pressing issue facing the Jewish community in 2023 #2203039☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantMust be whether or not there’s a Posek Hador.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantDaasYochid: imitation is the best flattery.
I didn’t know that the words imitation and mocking were synonymous.
@DaasYochid Nope. Which is why we’re arguing about it in our free time in CR, instead of taking out ads in the Yated and posting petchkvilim to shul bulletin boards.
See above
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantMaybe the conmen earn more than honest people.
Seriously, cost of living is high, even on a simple level. Most families need two incomes. This was true 20 years ago as well, maybe less so 30-40 years ago.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantSo? Did it wear off?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIs this the most important issue facing Klal Yisroel in 2023?
June 2, 2023 5:50 pm at 5:50 pm in reply to: Chabad Inspires all Jews to Yearn for Mashiach #2195251☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWhat about Rav Shach
And R’ Aharon.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantYungermanS is correct
Lol
It’s a sockpuppet account. How many accounts do you have?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThe repulsion of all Rabbonim to the Zionist groups was because of their supplanting the Torah with Zionism.
That’s still a huge problem. Lots of Jews, even (maybe primarily) שומרי תורה ומצוות look at the Stare of Israel as our national pride rather than exclusive the Torah.
For example, many view the PM of Israel as a leader of our nation (and not merely pragmatically).
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI still have not gotten an answer from the Anti-Zionists as to what would have been wrong had they put the state in Africa, seemingly circumventing the Three Oaths.
If “The State” would have been a “Jewish” country which didn’t follow the Torah, the issue of redefining Jewish nationhood as something other than a nation which follows the Torah would still be there. עיין ספר בעיות הזמן מר’ ראובן גרוזובזקי זצ”ל.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAlso, how does Zionism not violate the core MO halacha of “thou shalt not do anything that bugs the goyim?”
Still waiting for an answer
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantNeville, yes, the attack was unprovoked.
It was provoked by the declaration of Israel’s independence
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThe rulers of the area agreed to the land being a Jewish homeland.
The Arabs aren’t considered אומות העולם??
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI was generally using the Yad Moshe (then posting hebrewbooks links).
Also Google. Obviously you can’t trust “Rabbi Google”, but many of the topics discussed on the CR are of aside enough appeal that there are articles elsewhere about them, and some of the better ones have mareh m’komos which you can look up yourself.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantHow is relying on the lenient opinions regarding electricity a bizayon haTorah?
The two issues are unrelated, I don’t understand why you think there’s a contradiction.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantNCB, I shouldn’t have said the word “precisely”, which was imprecise. As I recall, I was generally using the Yad Moshe (then posting hebrewbooks links).
Not sure anyone literally says that medinah money is assur b’hana’ah, it’s just a (pretty understandable) shittah not to take it.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantCould it be that your seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of the Igros Moshe can be explained away by being tech savvy to know how to search for stuff on Hebrewbooks?
Precisely
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWhy should money from the Zionists be assur when usually issurei hanaah doesn’t transfer to money (with the exception of avodah zara)?
The more serious answer is that those who forbade taking money from the government wanted to distance themselves from the Zionists.
It’s hard to argue that they were wrong, as nowadays we see such a large portion of ostensibly Chareidi Yidden who are now quasi Zionists.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantBasically, I think Hashem runs the world
A lot of unpleasant things have happened to humanity, as part of Hashem’s plan.
When there’s an imminent threat, we are scared (and we daven to Him for a yeshua); we don’t dismiss it.
That being said, I don’t know if AI is an imminent threat.
☕ DaasYochid ☕Participantthis is a ridiculous take
It is. The other approach, saying the 3 Shavuos for some reason aren’t binding, is the more common answer (which I don’t get either, since it definitely bugs the goyim)
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAlso, how does Zionism not violate the core MO halacha of “thou shalt not do anything that bugs the goyim?”
Waiting for an answer
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWhy should money from the Zionists be assur when usually issurei hanaah doesn’t transfer to money (with the exception of avodah zara)?
Seems like you answered your own question.
🦆
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAveirah, the S”A doesn’t mention it. What else do you want?
He wants you to recognize that the fact that the Shu”a doesn’t mention it doesn’t mean it’s not assur to listen to music during sefirah.
☕ DaasYochid ☕Participant@Meno, מחבר ספר שו”ת יח”ת?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantOf course I remember you. And you’re posts are memorable because you’re one of the people that actually knows how to do the real quotey thing that requires HTML markup.
Also because his posts are intelligent and well written and always courteous.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantYou used to regularly come into halacha discussion threads with a bunch of sources backing up what you said
That’s true, but does not mean I have encyclopedic knowledge of the Igros Moshe.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantNeville,
Thank you for the compliments (although extremely overdone, and especially the Igros Moshe part which is simply untrue).
(I still do some occasional lurking and even an occasional post here and there. I happened to see your name here so opened the thread.)Nice to “see” you.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantCoffee Addict,
“Agnes Treuren, an officer in the Dutch Consulate in New York, insisted that both pronunciations were emphatically wrong. “It is ‘Fon Weig,’ with the last syllable pronounced like leg or beg,” she said”
From an old NYT article
March 19, 2023 7:05 am at 7:05 am in reply to: Bombshell: Mazuz lauds Baruch Golsrein for saving lives by his ’94 act #2174709☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantOf course not
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI heard it’s $1500 per side now.
