What about those families where only one person makes kiddush (i.e. the father) ?
Neshama – If such a clone functioned as a human being, it obviously has a neshama as much as any human has.
Birth – did this clone develop in a womb? That would probably be it’s mother. In a lab/incubator device? Probably doesn’t have halachic parents.
Kibud av v’eim – see previous answer.
Marriage – don’t be silly.
As an aside, you seem to be assuming the clone is jewish. A jew is one who is born to a jewish mother or has a proper conversion. If developed in a lab, the clone has neither qualification.
Da moshe,
Very well done!
I can hear his voice saying the words.
What about a baal nefesh b’shas hadchak?
Joseph,
Probably not as many chasidish weddings have the men and women in different rooms.
Now instead of ignoring the numerous questions that were posed in response to your original post and asking another question, please start answering.
Penalty ?!?
List Of Things To Do Today
1. Fix shidduch system
2. Insert penalty clause into current shidduch system.
3. All done!!Joseph,
How was it done in the past?
Once upon a time, special knowledge may have been required. Nowadays it’s fairly simple to look these things up online.

“ingesting/smoking marijuana for sure will leave one lightheaded and not able to learn. it also affects memory”So can alcohol.
There will be no shabbos chanukah in 2043
And there was no shabbos chanukah in 1948
Not sure you mean. Dec 21 1968 was on shabbos the 6th day of chanukah
Aw phil, you ruined it.
I wanted to hear from Joseph directly.
“Dates must occur in the privacy of the parent’s home”
Why?
So if they stop living together i.e move out, but have not gotten divorced in the civil courts, they would still be considered married under bnei noach rules regarding adultery?
Joseph-
As far as i know, brunettes are female. How were you mekarev her? What were you doing talking to a non-frum female?

Re: shadchan
So all our grandparents or greatgrandparents who met their spouses in the camps after the war were “problematic “ ? (Many just met. Or knew each other from before the war/camps. No shadchan)Re: Yaakov avinu
In this context, you seem to be implying that yaakov did something wrong.Re: bar or coed dance
That’s ridiculous logic. Just because some may have met in an inappropriate place such as an inappropriate bar or dance, does not mean that all such marriages were the result of an inappropriate meeting.Maskil-
“This is a unique issue relating to Route 9, which transverses most of the eastern seaboard of the US.”
Really? Other than NY-NJ-DE, what other states does it go through?
Interesting. Good lesson. Though a bit inaccurate to say “ignoring” the holocaust.
Cute.

LOL. very timely joke
What if the wife in this scenario were to say something along the lines of “ that is a very nice offer, but I will feel restricted/uncomfortable with the new clothing so I don’t want to do it. “
Since it’s all cold, it doesn’t have to be kashered.
Perhaps he’s in a rush so he can…
Spend more time learning with his children
Spend more time learning himself
Get home to help his wife with kidsThere we go. Glass half full.

Really? That’s the best you can come up with? Kosher?
Well, let’s see…
Kosher must be kept EXCEPT under the most dire of circumstances i.e. pikuach nefesh.
Kibbud av v’eim must be kept EXCEPT for fairly common circumstances i.e. married woman’s priority to her husband.
So the statement “You must keep kosher” makes sense as a standalone statement because the exceptions are pretty rare. (As would “you must keep shabbos” or “you may not eat chametz” – also with rare exception)
Whereas “you must honor your parents” has fairly common exceptions so the statement as a standalone is more glaringly misleading.
Talk about inane contentions…
The one exception? You yourself just mentioned 2.
1. If one is told to do something against Halacha.
2. That a married woman’s priority is to her husband.
And the married woman is not “exempt” from kibud ab v’eim. It’s only that her first priority is to her husband.
I was not asking out of ignorance. Only to point out that your absolute statement as stated, was incorrect. As they often are.
Joseph-
Under all circumstances? without exception?

Why aren’t the roshei hayeshivos who (supposedley) instruct them to protest, out there with them?

While I completely understand the reasons for not joining the army and the importance of bnei torah learning, can you (or anyone) please explain the reason(s) the gedolim who are instructing these boys, tell them not to even register?

“ A person in the crowd with a rifle, who is competant at using the weapon, should easily been able to fire back at the shooter. A few such people firing at him would have stopped him.”While I have no problem with normal sane people owning a gun for possible self-defense, your suggestion seems to be a bad idea. The shooter was shooting and hitting people from over a quarter of a mile away (report said 1700 feet) The likelihood of any legal gunowners having something that powerful and accurate with them to shoot back at the shooter is probably quite low. And now you have, according to your suggestion, several shooters firing at the hotel which also is housing many potential innocent victims behind windows in the nearby rooms that will be hit in the return fire. And shooting over a panicked crowd with fired bullets falling to the ground (this can be very dangerous) over them.
So if automatic weapons were outlawed, you would have no problem with regular handguns and rifles? (Please answer the question, yes or no, before you editorialize)

From pirkei avos near end of 5th perek
יְהוּדָה בֶן תֵּימָא אוֹמֵר, הֱוֵי עַז כַּנָּמֵר, וְקַל כַּנֶּשֶׁר, וְרָץ כַּצְּבִי, וְגִבּוֹר כָּאֲרִי, לַעֲשׂוֹת
רְצוֹן אָבִיךָ שֶׁבַּשָּׁמָיִםIt’s possible to feel bad and good in certain situations. (That’s why they call it mixed feelings.)
For example, if someone’s parent dies and they stand to inherit they make 2 brachos. Dayan ha’emes on the loss and either shechayanu or hatov v’hameitiv (don’t remember which) on the inheritance.
Because the victim was a white man (IOW not a minority) and the perpetrators were not white (IOW a minority).
Non white crime on whites is not news.
Just like dog bites man is not news.
Rebyidd,
Sounds like you’re channeling Joseph.
Perhaps too many people wait too long and by the time they go to therapy it’s too far gone and they’re just going through the motions to satisfy a requirement by the court or beis din.
In other words, causation or correlation?
Joseph-
“That’s merely your speculation about their motivation for not having acted yet.”
What do you think is their motivation for not having acted yet?

“They also round the chalakim” ???
Whatever does that mean?
Halachicly men shouldnt walk behind women
What is your source for saying they shouldn’t sit behind women?
I have also been told not to make a bracha as it is not brought down anywhere to make a bracha. And chazal were well enough versed in astronomy to know about eclipses.
As far as issue with siman ra – a solar eclipse is a siman ra for the umos ha’olam. A lunar eclipse is a siman ra for bnei yisrael.
Some chassidim will do night burials even in chutz la’aretz
“I believe a multi-million dollar fund needs to be established so that menahalim can compensate & let go of underperforming Rebbeim & bring in fresh talent.”
Really? Schools can barely pay their salaries on time, tuitions are getting higher all the time, and you want to setup a multi-million dollar fund to compensate underperforming Rebbes?
“Among the things the Dayan told them was a very important point: If it would be so easy to fire a long term rebbe because someone younger can do a better job after a while no one will go into chinuch anymore.”
So job security for the rebbeim is more important than good educators for our children?
Joseph-
While its proper to be dan l’kaf zchus, how do you know for certain that these are “false charges” ?
“My friend asked R’ Bender about it, and he replied, “You’re right, it’s a big problem! I try to help out my talmidim, but there needs to be a change, we need to do something to help out everyone!”
Are you saying that R’ Bender thinks the system needs to change? What is he proposing? Because when R Bender wants something to happen, he usually gets it done.

As DY said, great post. The nitpickers are irrelevant. No analogy is ever perfect. Your point is made.
210/hr ?!?! Or 150?!? Or even 100 an hour to work at a bookstore???
At “just” 100, that’s approximately $250,000 a year pre-tax. To work at a bookstore. I dont believe that for one second.
Either
a) troll
b) severe lack of communication skills
