“The tikun for her chometz negligence and to prevent chas v’shalom a recurrence, the mother should be m’kabel upon herself to wash all the windows and walls of her home every Pesach and to have in mind that that the cleaning should also act to cleanse her of the pretzel oversight. May she always have a wonderful and delightful Pesach.”
Wolf, what did you think about my tikun suggestion; did I need to indicate that I wasn’t serious?
“…have to work”
Do you dig ditches? Or do you sit and play with the computer?
Why does everyone take my posts in this thread so seriously? Es tu, Wolf?
“Many Heimishe fishmongers sell fish from British Columbia (I think)with a cert from a Mashgiach that he saw the fish alive.”
You mean the mashgiach is on the fishing boat and eyeballs and tags each fish before they take their last breath? Sounds very fishy.
Is there an extra charge for this service? I wish that I would have thought up this chumra first.
And what does seeing the fish alive in British Columbia have to do with the fish’s kosher status in Williamsburg?
Did the chassidishe landlord ever serve, or was he one of the “smart ones”?
“The old Netanya on Ave. J”
I agree; and if the new owners would have kept the Netanya recipe, they’d still be in business.
“A todler is alowed to eat chametz”
Yes, but do you have any idea what eating chometz did to the n’shama of this future Gadol B’Yisroel?
I agree with aries2756 and the others; you can’t complain about the murderers and other thugs walking around if the sane voices are not part of the system.

OfCourse – “If you feel it’s too much for you, then you can follow a YU or OU Rov”
By the way, all chasidish hashgachos are someich on the OU and their Rabbis for their own hashgachos. In fact, recently the Satmar CRC had their mashgichim go to the OU for hashgacha training.
There are many shoctim living in Boro Park who carry on Shabbos in opposition to Rav Moshe’s shita and I am not aware of any ban on their sh’chita.
It’s called being lazy; they don’t care.
“cherrybim, i do understand not mishing yet buying products.”
“If you don’t hold from the eruv and you daven in a Shul where people who hold from the eruv bring in additional food for the kiddish can you eat of that food?”
popa_bar_abba – “No…I would say it has the din of meizid.”
popa_bar_abba – And will you drink wine that eruv carriers m’chalalei shabbos touch, and will you eat from their shchita or their cholent, can they lead the davening for you, and will you learn Torah from them or will you throw their s’farim into the trash?
“they remember how glad & happy they were at their Chasuna”
It becomes a dream and in most cases they don’t even remember who was there.
“many people do continue to “ask questions / seek advise” by drawing from the writings of gedolim that are no longer among us.”
And they also ask questions to a dead Rav on the internet, and get answers from the dead Rav.
Everyone must have a warm blooded Rav, otherwise, to be your own Rav is very dangerous and will lead you off the proper path. In fact, every Rav has a Rav.
Ofcourse – grow up.
I remember years ago they did not allow the chasson or kallah to dance, or very minimally at best; they were pretty smart in those days.
There used to be a time when a Rav wasn’t bombarded with all these silly questions because keeping kosher on Pesach was very simple in comparison to what is out there today.
We won’t mish, but will buy every chazarei product; what hypocrisy!
While we all agree that Rav Blumenkrantz was a tzadik gamor, many cannot cope with his Pesach chumras.
“I see. So we go around until we think we find an answer that we personally agree with. What a wonderful religion you believe in.”

“+ 1/4 mil. commuters”
Minus + 1/4 mil. commuters out of Brooklyn.
I wish people could read.
“I am looking for an answer, yes or no, assur, muttar, kosher, treif.”
Keep looking apushatayid, keep looking.
“The only “fact” that should concern anyone is what their own Rav has to say about this inyan.”
It’s unfortunate, but on certain issues, most Rabbonim will not paskin out of the box, l’kula, even privately, for fear of public perception and rejection.
Aadorable, rest easy:

Friends? Start charging and you’ll find out how many friends you actually have, maybe three if you’re lucky.
“..but I tried calling more than once…but the Rov never called back even once”
Most Rabbonim today are far busier than their predecessors of time past. They do not have the time for playing telephone tag, unless you are someone that the Rav knows or are a regular mispallel in his shul. You will have to keep trying to reach him on the telephone or better yet, go to where the Rav davens and speak to him personally. The main point here is, as I stated earlier, you should have a Rav all the time, not just when you need him.
“cherrybim: It seems that this minhag is still followed.”
“Derech HaMelech:Not so much anymore.”
“cherrybim: we have b”h many bochrim learning in our bais medresh, from various litvish yeshivos; ALL without beards.”
“Derech HaMelech:I’m not sure I understand the point you are trying to make.”
Actually the post was for brotherofurs- “i heard that a beard is supposed to protect people”)… beard, honest Abe (Lincoln), assassination. Get it?
M-D, don’t forget to turn on your fan.
It didn’t protect honost Abe.
Is a baby boy a bigger bracha than a baby girl? ApPARENTly, the Chinese think so:
Derech HaMelech – we have b”h many bochrim learning in our bais medresh, from various litvish yeshivos; all without beards.
While other Lubavitcher Rebbes did, in his later years the last Lubavitcher Rebbe zt”l did not trim his mustache.
Why is it that some shuls are still fresh at Shabbos mincha while others are not?
Then I take back the SBD reference and you’re back to being BSD.
I always impersonate myself, there’s your two, but I don’t remember speaking to you either.
“because that was the minhag”
It seems that this minhag is still followed.
“The reason why Lubavitch doesnt shave is because they pasken like the tzemach tzedek who holds that it is assur min hatorah to shave due to the issur of Lo Silbash.”
Well women don’t shave their either, so by this reasoning lo silbash might require men to shave.
BSD, what do I mean? From your description of your cholent effects, I’d say your the silent but deadly type.
“*I* just personally met and asked the Posek HaDor about this, and he advised me the bochorim made a Kiddush Shem Shmayim and he envies their schar.”
I never met you, ever!
I asked the greatest and most respected Rav in the world about this incident, and his response to me was that what they did was assur and a chilul Hashem. However, he won’t allow me to go on the internet with his name.
If there is a problem with shaving, then why did most litvak Rosh Yeshivas and g’dolim shave for many years; until they felt worthy enough to wear a beard?
BSD, um… I mean SBD.
Thanks, I also got through and after promising a donation toward the shul deficit, I was assured that a full statement would be forthcoming shortly which will change everything.
Still looking…do you have the shul’s number?
Per your suggestion, I have been looking for the phone number of Rabbi Menachem Friedman, East 23rd Street in Brooklyn but have not found one. Could you provide his phone number so that we can verify the Rabbi’s approval of the action taken by these guys?

“Without the protection of life insurance, Hashem would be more inclined to keep the family’s natural bread winner alive in the zechus of the wife and children. Once there is life insurance this zechus is irrelevant.”
“Life insurance will rob us of the zechusim of tzedoka and chessed that are so dearly need in our situation, Hashem Yirachem.”
We don’t second guess Hashem’s ways and we certainly don’t create dismal situations so that people will have an opportunity to give tzedaka. Who wants to offer themselves as the karbon? As it is said, “don’t be a tzadik on someone else’s shoulders!”
How about: “In addition to pursuing an established and accepted course of action, it is obligatory to seek and pray for Divine intervention.”
If the almond milk is going to be poured into an ordinary container or glass and placed on your table, for halachic reasons, you may need to sprinkle a few almonds into the milk.
