How can anyone ever even think omer muttar on mixed swimming?? Certainly anyone engages in that activity knows he is sinful and couldn’t care less. Why would he think that is muttar but chazzer is assur? The only difference is he has a much greater taiva to swim with girls (or boys) than to eat pig.
You are not disturbed by the cursing, profanity, pritzus, immorality, vildkeit, etc at these games?
Alefas: What do they say there? Eating a chicken and cheese sandwhich is chayiv misa?
How is a newlywed buying a fancy house equal cheating?
Where does violating a rabbinical decree, that isn’t a drabonon and isn’t even universally accepted, fit in? i.e. Cherem Rabbeinu Gershom isn’t a drabonon (it was not instituted by Chazal) and wasn’t universally mekabel by all of klal yisroel. So if someone from a community that had accepted the cherem violates it, what aveira — if any — has he transgressed?
Dont be such an anti-semite. Would you rather the welfare dollars go to single welfare queens living in the hood?
It is 100% legal for Kollel families to accept food stamps, etc. And I hope EVERY qualified kollel family signs up for it. THAT’S where I want MY tax dollars to go to.
Define what a “mekubal” is.
Minhag from our community.
Food prepared by someone other than a frum Jew.
Not mishing on Pesach is an old minhag that many people have.
Shticky: d a’s post is from a previous year. So he may have tasted it on Pesach.
Anyways, I don’t use OU b’chlal for Pesach.
Rav Shmuel confirmed the Jewish Week story was a lie and he supports MBP naturally.
We’re machmir to not consume non-jewish foods on Pesach.
“After they win the jackpot, most of them self-destruct and they end up much more unhappy than they were before,” Dr. Tom Manheim, who offers financial therapy in Solana Beach, Calif. “It’s really kind of a sad state of our economywhere we think that money, once again, is going to bring us happiness and it doesn’t.”
These booklets arent distributed by the nanachs. They are from the mainstream.
Toi – I believe a very small value is allowed because she can assume that if it is a very small value he would allow it.
People hold of chumros on Pesach that they don’t have all year.
Ah shood oif yiddishe gelt.
Sam, no inherent issur for a man to dance with his wife in public?!
If makes the nochorim envious. And that leads to no good.
Some folks are uncomfortable being asked for tzedaka anytime. Its still a mitzva to ask them for tzedaka.
These bochorim look at girls/women as little as possible, and won’t be checking out their ring-finger.
Tzedaka is a mitzvah that isn’t pushed aside by a date.
Besides, these bochorim probably don’t even know the difference if the couple are married or dating!

One of the gedolim once gave it to Lipa at a Chasuna.
But a couple isn’t allowed to dance together in public.
That’s from a poor English translation. The books are wonderful and Torah’dik.
Together?!? How can they dance together?
Yes, collecting tzedaka is an even bigger mitzva than giving tzedaka. And we all know how great a mitzva it is to give tzedaka. So we can only begin to imagine the greatness of the mitzva of collecting tzedaka.
Collecting tzedaka by bochorim should be further encouraged, especially among bochorim who have not yet had the great zchus of collecting tzedaka.
Sam: I am going with MSS’s own definition in her OP.
There is a point of ostentatiousness that we all can agree is ostentatious and over the top.
Is there anything positive to be said about having a house that is ostentatious on the outside, calling attention to itself from all passersby here in golus?
Because they have no mechanism of enforcement. Otherwise, in many instances, I’m sure they (rightly) would.
This is unusual, as you yourself said that usually they acknowledge your favor.
My issue is with complainers who always have complaints against people. Especially to complain about people who are frummer than themselves.
Go to civilized NYC, and let your heart enjoy NY’s Krispy Kreme’s.
mytake: What issues do you have with ostentatious houses? (I agree with you, FTR.)
PBA: +1
Thank You for standing up for Kovod HaTorah.
Thank you, Sam. Do you perchance know specifically which halacha describes the law you just described?
Sam2: If its a type of thing that a wife doesn’t generally sign without his consent, what is the halachic basis allowing him to cancel it?
oneofmany: you would be in trouble because your family doesn’t eat cholov stam and would be upset you bought that. Or another reason?
Sounds very tasty.
If someone’s wife signed a 2 year contract for home water delivery, if the husband feels its too expensive or doesn’t like the brand, al pi din he can cancel the contract when he first learns of it?
All over NY.
The idea of following Beis Shammai post-Moshiach, long predates the Ragachover Gaon.

Many times the caller works with a telemarketing company that takes a percentage of your donation, per their agreement with the tzedaka organization.
What chilukim, if any, is there between the nedarim a man can be mevatel from his wife or from his daughter? And does the daughter have to be under 12 or can she be older as long as she isn’t married? And is being mevatel a wife or daughters neder halacha l’maisa bzman hazeh as mentioned in Shulchan Aruch?
Which Jews died, and when, defending themselves on Purim?
That claim only comes from a supposed “phone interview” of Rav Shmuel by the Jewish Week, the anti-religious unreliable publication. Rav Shmuel does not typically grant “phone interviews” with newspapers.
I cannot believe frum women joined a mixed gym and go there in non-modest dress, as a gym workout requires, in front of men.
According to some, you don sackcloth and mourn on this day. Others don’t have any public display or sign of the day.
