“Yes, it is! On the bottom it lists where they got it from!” – that means that it is not a source – he quotes sources. He actually is quoting the Mishna Berura just as I am and he is no more a source than I am. The only point in bringing in the halachapedia is if you want me to comment on whether or not he does a good job of explaining the Mishna Brurah, and that is assur.
It doesn’t make sense that you wrote that we don’t go by the Mishna Brurah l’maaseh, and then you are quoting someone who is quoting the Mishna Brura.
The only reason why you are bringing in the Halachapedia is because you don’t know how to learn the Mishna Berurah yourself, which is why it is ridiculous for you to be arguing with me about what the MB says.
“That’s obvious, even you admitted that most people say Haetz first!
If e/o does it, there must be a reason. I just wrote what that was!”
That sentence makes no sense. I said that most people think you say haetz first because they don’t know the halacha (at least not until I point it out to them and they look it up).
“LOL! You keep proving – Why Religious girls should Not learn Torah B’Iyun!”
Why, are you a girl? – I thought you were a guy! Anyhow, your problem is that you HAVE NOT learned b’iyun. I am not against anyone learning b’iyun, and I think it would be kidai for you to do so. Why don’t you find someone to sit down with you and teach you the sources? Then maybe you won’t be so frustrated by the fact that you don’t understand them, and that there is a female somewhere in the world who knows more than you.
Actually, I think what you should do is to go read Rav Bodner’s Hilchos Brachos Sefer. It is in english and well-written and he explains this sugya very clearly.
