How close a family member was this?
As a talmid I know that Rav Yaakov and Rav Schorr never brought a TV into the Yeshiva. I never heard this story and certainly would have known about it had it occurred.
We are told that we must, al pi halacha, use a filter if we use the Internet. But what kind of filtering is mandatory?? If we get a simple filter that only blocks out the seven dirty words that is illegal to broadcast over the airwaves, but nothing else, technically you have a filter but it hardly filters anything out. So what is the minimum filtering required al pi halacha?
TCG – The French aren’t as good at capturing terrorists, as they are in releasing terrorists while negotiating with other terrorists.
The only thing the French are good at, is surrendering. (And then having the United States rescue them.)
Every Litvish choson teacher I’ve met (and that is very many), teaches the Rambam or others that a Talmid Chochom is only together once a month or week with his wife.
HaKatan (and others): Why are you opining on what you admit are only rumors?
Is there any heter for a guy to watch the scenes with the kol isha or Dorothy’s uncovered elbows and knees? Don’t tell me when you go to work you see such things too. There their is a heter for parnassa since it is unavoidable for parnassa. Here it is only voluntary entertainment. And their’s kol isha too.
The idea, whether its applicable here or not, that by refraining from an otherwise permissible activity can be an act of extra kedusha, is a valid idea.
QB: I haven’t watched it, but some posters above mentioned it has kol isha and pritzus (elbows). So a father couldn’t watch it either to see if its ok.
What does Rav Moshe say, in the psak you reference?
Whether it proves anything or not, Gerrer couples are very happy.
You’re not looking at your car’s mirror to see your image.
So, what you are indicating is that everyone will be judged for every little aveira they did, when they come upstairs.
Somehow, Gerrer couples are very happy with their marriage, and their divorce rate is likely far lower than the complainers.
Men using mirrors is not a norm in Jewish society.
+1.
The article would have been more appropriate for Vanity Fair.
Sam, Wouldn’t they be helpful for insuring your tefilin are on properly?
If the Tzitz Eliezer discusses their permissibility on tefilin, the presumption must be their non-permissibility other times.
Those terms and conditions some of the frum cd’s state are a meaningless unenforceable joke that has no force. Can’t play in public? What if they stick a term in there that you have to mail the producer a $50 check every year you play it?
And the “rent” idea is even funnier. Do they really believe that if I am negligent with that cd and it gets stolen or broken for example that I am liable to the owner? That I can’t resell the cd to someone else since I don’t own it? Neither the seller nor the buyer really mean to rent this cd and that’s what matters, regardless of what it says on the cd.
The ratzon of Hashem isn’t that he die. The ratzon of Hashem is that a yehudi should kill him. Not a non-Amaleki gentile; and not himself.
Which is another reason he shouldn’t. Because if he does, he is denying the mitzvah to a yehudi. What I would encourage though, is that he should turn himself in to any yehudi and allow him to do it and obtain the mitzvah.
