And here I thought we’d get a good thread, and then it was just more dumb questions.

I think the answer is pretty simple. It’s for sure muttar lihalachah. If you feel it’s “grubb” or felt in edilkeit, feel free to wear a shirt.

@rebE- Nooooo, we don’t do it a third way to satisfy both. We do it in a way that won’t qualify as possul by either one. Yes, we ‘chap a rein’ both shittos, but no, we are not compromising between the two to make everyone happy. It is not a chiyuv to have it either way, that shailah is which way is possul. Neither shitta would view diagonal as a compromise.

Reb Eliezer, you consistently post the machlokes Rashi/Tosfos and refer to the halacha as a compromise, and I keep posting that your are absolutely wrong. Stop it already. The reason for the angle is that the gemara says that placing the mezuzah (I think the loshon is) ‘kmin nagar” is possul. There is a machlokes what kmin nagar means, standing vertical or laying horizontal. We do a diagonal to avoid it being possul either way, not to compromise on the shittos. Enough already.

Just a note on @catchyourself’s gematria from taamei haminhagim: It’s a quote from the Bnei Yisaschar on Chanuka.

Because she can’t cook. If she can’t cook, she’s out.

There are a bunch of teshuvos about this from after WW1 where yidden r’l killed each other in opposing armies, but I don’t remember details.

GH- ACB made the democrat senators look incredibly stupid when they asked about Roe, and you just did the same thing they did. ABC argues that Roe cannot be considered super precedent id people are still nervous about it being overturned and activel debating whether to confirm a supreme court justice based on those considerations. If it was super precedent, that would not be a conversation we’d be having. Anyway, why exactly would you be pro one of the worst decisions on SCOTUS history, and do you endorse the murder of millions of babies every year?

Eliezer

“This judges are wrong. Not for nothing it says chesed veemes yekadmu panecha, Hashem places kindness before truth. When we have coronavirus, unexpected by the legislature, the law cannot be interpreted as written and allowances must be made in voting.”

So judges should just act against their role, and instead be a super-legislative body, because you think so???? So basically, you’re not anti-Trump, you’re just a blazing progressive….why pretend otherwise?

The basic idea (this case actually not included) is that there are people who have an agenda and want something ‘assured’ and have to wait until the gadol hador who was mattir it dies so they can stir it up again. Sheitels, worms in fish, checking for certain treifos+shots in chickens, the list goes on. As usual, it will die down soon. Chill people.

See, this is interesting. Eliezer hates trump. Fullstop. But, ostensibly, that’s a middos based distaste of the best president ever. Okay, that’s fine. Why would your distaste for the man carry over into the civics part of our country, why do you feel the need to argue for a lefty position that has no connection to trump whatsoever. I think you are a little crazy.

It is intense. The RY is super intense. If you’re not used to the brisker style in shiur and chinuch it will be very, very tough. The guys are mostly, extremely intense. The pressure is and motivation to perform is extreme. You either need to know you can thrive in that environment, or be suuuuuuper chilled, enough that you can be your own person and not get pressured. The hashkafos are intense. It’s important to come with a Rebbi and a clear hashkafa and take what you think is applicable to you from his shmuzin.

I replied, don’t know why it hasn’t gone through…

Didn’t want to delete but needs a bit of editing…

Just to correct som1. The proud boys was not founded by the afro-cuban currently leading the group. It was founded by Gavin McGuiness and the new guy assumed leadership sometime in the last few years.

@GH- I see how deeply committed you are to being deeply committed to being paranoid about him and never seeing what he does as positive. Would it be good if he cured cancer?

“In general, I would support the minimum of one hakafa and just the person holding the Torah alone–outside preferably.”

Duly noted, we’ll consider it when deciding.

@GH- Interesting to note, Trump never drinks or smokes due to the health impact. I think he doesn’t even touch coffee. You have a pathological problem. If Trump cured cancer, you would demand it back.

You know, it’s really funny how the language has shifted in the last 10 to 15 years. When I came to EY to learn in yeshiva, no one referred to the broader frum community as chareidi. The bochurim in the big name brisker yeshivos in Yerushalayim, arguably the most culturally perceptive subgroup in orthodox jewry, reserved the word chareidi for the yerushalmim, exclusively. Not just anyone who lived in Yerushalayim, just those who make up the ‘old guard’ of yerushalayim’s residents, and their families. I highly doubt you could find the word chareidi in any jewish magazines up until the last ten years or so. Chareidi today just means religious, with a slight bent towards making religion the focus of your life as opposed to enjoying life while being religious. Yeshivish doesn’t have an accurate description. It’s like asking to describe the color blue. If you know you know, if not, you can only come to understanding it through experiencing it.

Fried onions and onion soup mix+chicken soup mix. Also, put in kishka.
Just remember, making parev chulent is like simchas torah without booze. You can manage it if you need to, but never expect it to turn out the same.

Na, just shmaltz. Evidently, you were never a bochur.

@asimpleyid- No, the butchers in the Shuk do not have a-level hechsherim. There is no cheap a-level meat. I’ve heard turkey works. You can go into hackers and ask for shmaltz. If they give you it for free, thats all you need.

Na, this is not so smart. Everyone, from the oldest zaide to the two year olds, are dealing with different types of pain, albeit at different levels; emotional, psychological, and r”l physical. Everyone is dealing with the stress. Whether you’re a mother with a full house who has to get it ready, a breadwinner who’s out of a job, a young couple making y”t for the first time, or an old lady making y’t by herself, no one is on vacation right now. I think, when this is all over, people will need a decompression period before returning to the rigors of normal life. Cancelling summer vaca, sending everyone straight back to school, will not give the general population important time to heal from the ordeal of these few months.

Hey, how funny that I punkt checked in today. This was discussed ad nauseum in an old thread. There was no good teretz. Chabadshlucha just dug in her heels and dug herself in deeper and deeper.

Bernie is patently nuts. AOC is patently incompetent, and also pretty nuts. Sounds perfect .
