    csn business model is similar to amazon they work with highly specialized wholesalers so they may earn little per item but they sell in big quantities.

    its a big company and there is no reason not to trust them.

    sc,

    They are part of csn network. I’ve ordered from this network before but not from this particular site. They are very cheap but don’t always have everything in stock.

    Health,

    What about the prohibition of Geneivas Daas? Is that also allowed in certain cases?

    Health,

    “It’s not stealing because they give out the money anyway”

    “The only problem would be stealing, but it’s not [stealing] because they are giving it away to those who meet their guidelines”

    Do you give out/pay money to those who meet your guidelines? And if i dont agree with your choices am i allowed to steal it from you?

    Why do people think maaser = 10% ? That’s a minimum you have to give and many poskim will agree that once you are this rich you have to give 20%. And they will probably allow you to give beyond that also.

    hello99, thank you for explain the side for permitting it. I wasnt paskening against i was just mentioning 1 possible problem that might come up. It’s possible there are more problems that we didnt think of and like any question everyone should trust their own Rav and not the internet.

    1st timer, and how should the goishe owner or worker realize that just by cutting his sandwich he might be violating kashrus rules?

    hello99,

    if you order take out from a fleishig place and goish delivery guy brings it without any seal, will you eat it? just because there is only a slight chance doesn’t mean we should start trusting non jews with our kashrus

    1st timer, I was taking about personal lunch so doesn’t matter that meat is not sold there.

    Yes they have a special knife but if the guy needs to cut his bacon sandwich that he has for lunch do you think he would hesitate using this special knife?

    I think the more they know us or about us the less hatred there will be towards us. Think of some other nations or types of people who are different from us and we might think they are strange. But once we get to know some of them we start realizing that they aren’t so different and they can also be nice people.

    That’s why i think its best for us not to get to know them so well so it shouldn’t lead to mingling.

    (btw, I’m a guy and even i know about Ali)

    There is a Rashi that basically says tamid doesn’t mean constantly but on constant basis.

    When you get to schacharis on time and you get a good feeling that Hashem is helping you do the right thing. When you see a nice view and you are thinking this world is so beautiful wow what a miracle it is. Or in the middle of the day you just start asking Hashem for help, in your own words just talking to Hashem.

    I think all 3 examples would qualify because even when you are not thinking of Hashem but of His actions or His creations, I think that is the main point.

    Notice that only holding the door into a room may cause this problem. However, as the previous date mentioned opening car door should still be done since then there is no excuse of guy walking behind.

    When I receive something for my donation, auction prize or even aliya, I try to not count that value as my maaser. So I only bid on things that I’m willing to pay for from my non maaser fund (aka my credit card).

    If you feel burning in the stomach its most probably not Crohn’s but you should still see a gastroenterologist to figure out what it is.

    From what i know there is no 1 definite test to figure out if someone has crohns or not.

    Many happily married couples will tell you that they never thought they would marry someone like that.

    People have too many ideas who they should marry instead of allowing Hashem to make a suggestion to them.

    I agree with you but for this idea to work the teachers have to be very good and the students have to be mature and focused. So its not very practical for the masses.

    I think brooklyn is surrounded by 3 sides which gives it enough of a heter d’oraisa. And both Coney and Brighton have man made board walk which serves as a mechitza.

    jccsg,

    I think anyone can overcome this disease just by watching what they eat. And I don’t recommend eliminating any food group just have to figure out what can be eaten with what.

    I know someone who overcame it and stopped taking all the meds.

    If you can’t handle criticism then you are right you won’t be successful in business.

    Anyone working with people has tons of stories about crazy requests, demands, random stupid suggestions and so on. You just have to find humor in everything and keep doing what you are good at because even though they complain they are still coming back to your schwarma and not to the one in Israel.

    Many litvishe Rabbonim including those that follow R Belsky wouldn’t hesitate to send their followers to R Roth for certain type of shailas. Also, according to R Roth b”d brooklyn has enough mechitzas to be considered karmelis. I want to see how many others went all over brooklyn and said otherwise.
