Now that I am being accused of not being frum, I will kindly request that the following questions be answered. No rational or logical thinking allowed, please give the correct and obvious “frum” answer.
Example: Am I allowed to wear shatnez? Answer: No.
1. A woman stopped nursing after six months and wishes to remarry. It is a leap year. Does she have to wait 18 more months or 19?
2. A man’s wife becomes psychotic and is institutionalized. May he marry another woman?
3. May photochromic spectacle lenses be worn outside the house on Shabbos?
4. A kohen who converted to Christianity and became a moser wishes to go to shul on yom tov and duchen. Should the kehillah allow it?
5. The local shochet for 20 years is rumored to have committed adultery. The accused woman is clearly pregnant. Can the shochet keep his job?
Remember, just the obvious halachah, no logical thinking permitted.
As an aside, if you knew something about halachic history, using electricity on Shabbos would not have been included with shatnez and basar b’chalav. Until the Hazon Ish put his meta-halachic foot down, the poskim (yes, the frum ones) were ready to accept electricity as at worst a d’rabbonon and possibly even permit it. There was no halachic precedent and they had to use, um, rational thinking.
