“it is obligatory to rely on Divine intervention”
Only with absolute amunah like Moshe Rabeinu, otherwise, one is m’chuyav to go b’derech hatevah.
“A huge huge baal bitachon should probably not purchase”
If the life insurance money is going to sustain the baal bitachon’s family when he’s gone, then b’derech hateva, it is incumbent upon him to have life insurance.
Vicinity?
“Why? is a stupid question concerning g’brochts.
That’s not very nice”
Do you know Why?
Why? is a stupid question concerning g’brochts.
shlishi – and you asked which Rav?
I have ours stored away with my washboard.
smartcookie, I’d love to; but I’m loyal to my family minhag.
tbt, I didn’t make it up; but the gra and rav elyashiv did, to name a few.
Also, look at Orach Chayim:460- R’Yaakov Emden (Sheelas Yaavetz)-he states that the Chochem Tzvi, his father, ridiculed those who took on g’brokst and other chumras that took away from their simchas yom tov.
Rachel thought that she was doing right by stealing her father’s gods. The brothers thought they were doing right when they sold Yoseph to the Yishmaelim. There are countless more instances where the Torah instructs us not to violate the law, even when we believe someone is guilty of a sin.
Last year when a store across from Chaim Berlin displayed certain photos that were objectionable, the Rosh Yeshiva did not instruct the bochrim to burn down the store but rather to boycott it. The store got the message. This is the Torah way.
Your argument might have some credibility if you held like Rav Moshe and and Rav Belsky in all cases; even when they are meikel.
Again, this argument might have some credibility if you followed majority rulings in all cases.
Try the Atkins Diet.
mewho – I’m with you. A 45 pound child belongs on a mother’s lap, instead of confronting a 65 year old and making a commotion in shul.
oomis1105 – there are stories of yiden who were turned off from frumkeit when they were repeatedly told to move from any chair they sat at in shuls they were visiting. It says something about the shul and also about the leaders who allow this to go on. I hope they don’t treat guests in their homes like this too.
Potato starch – older is better than newer, and I never saw an insect in potato starch.
“The mere fact that area is constantly covered because of Tznius does not magically disappear just because someone needs to nurse.”
The Ben Ish Hai was a pretty good authority on halachos of t’nius; SJS’s quote above should answer CR poster concerns.
Check for bugs.
Out of town horns are much louder than those in the city. And I’ll take honking any day to the constant and deafening noise of jet planes found in suburban communities.
Our shul has a strict rule: No regular Mispallel has a Makom K’vuah when a guest is seated or needs a seat; under no circumstances will a guest be told that he is sitting in someone’s Makom. Also, if a regular Mispallel is already sitting and a guest needs a seat, he must offer his chair to the guest.
You paint with a very broad brush. Why are you being so politically correct? Spell it out.
BasYisroel94, for learning the meaning of words and word groupings, try doing the week’s parsha using the Metzuda linear chumash. I think you will find it more useful than the Artscroll (which is wonderful).
The great G’dolim of the past also wore grey clothing and hats. In addition, aside from most current chasidish Rebbes, I never saw a Rosh Yeshiva or other Rav without a tie. If a black hat is now part of the Yeshivish uniform, wearing a tie would have the same requirement.
Mayan_Dvash, it’s not the one. For some reason my earlier post to you with more of a message did not show or was deleted.
“In my other thread, it was pretty much stated that a mother would die for her child, since it her child.”
Which thread is that, a nony mus?
Mayan_Dvash – name of street where shul is on?
“First of all there are plenty of people who do kiruv krovim.”
The people who do kiruv krovim, do not do it “one on one” because there is no money for it. And for hopes of success for most kids who are at risk, even they will admit that “one on one” is the way to go. And most kiruv successes are those who are already curious about Judaism, not those who are totally not interested.
Look in Craig’s list.
“and that whoever asks gets helped”
That’s all?
“I no longer consider them Yiddin. I would not use one for a minyan. I won’t eat their shechitah. I don’t trust their kashrus. I won’t let them intermarry with my family. I won’t drink or eat with them…..”
There is another sect which qualifies for this category as well.
Duck a l’Orange.
If money is tight, get machine shmura.
“Has anyone here’s grandmother, even once, nursed in public (including covered up)? I sincerely doubt it. I doubt even the goyim of that generation were wont to do so. How did they manage?
They managed by nursing in public and in close quarters. Do you think they went to the outhouse? Get over it, that’s what women did, from the beginning of history (read your bible).
My Shul rules: No collecting from Barchu till after Chazaras Hashatz and not during Leining and no appeal till after total Davening; strictly enforced.
I nearly cracked up recently; the collector was going around collecting with a portable credit card machine!
wellmeaning busybody – I will apologize for all smart-aleks in the CR. A Resources Room may not be appreciated until someone’s child is in need of one.
“The wedding ring is only applicable for a woman.”
Many frum women insist that their husband wear a wedding band for this reason.
“I know a rich, gorgeous, football player who’s looking for a girl.
He can sometimes be abusive, he’s very selfish, and not too bright.”
………
OJ?
“cherrybim: If you think it is inappropriate for a Merril employee to quit the firm and open his own competing financial firm, or any similar scenario whether it is with a multinational corporation or a heimisha mom-and-pop shop, I think you are disagreeing with the common sense of 99% of the population.”
How do know how I think?
Also, I hardly believe the thinking of the vast majority of our population is our guide; we depend on our Torah and Torah leaders for that.
Remind me not to hire you.
My statement was not made in regard to a discussion on halacha of business ethics, there are many conditions in making a determination; only on why frum don’t want to hire frum.
“People love that I volunteer to work Christmas week.”
If I know of a number of cases, it can’t be that rare.
What is most disgusting at a shmorg are people who use their own used fork to take food from the platter or who dunk their half eaten vegetables into the dip meant for everyone. Yuk.
Now for the real reason that frum business owners generally don’t want to hire other frum Yiden.
The owners are afraid that today’s frum employee is tomorrow’s competition. It’s happened countless times that a frum employee will be taught the business and open the same enterprise, even undercutting prices and taking away all the customers.
Every good deed never goes unpunished. And signed agreements aren’t worth the price of the ink used to write it.
I’ve always use Excel and Word Mail Merge for envelopes; lables; place cards; but you have to know a little about the programs. Otherwise, I think there is a CD available that set’s everything up for you.
“In gal-paz in Israel, for 100 Shekel ($28) they will fill up your iPod with the latest jewish music. How is this permitted? they are copying it numerous times and making money off of it.”
Ho’cheach To’chiach… It’s an old story with them (and worse). What they do is absolutely assur. Stay away!
Stanley Miller also played at my wedding and is a music talent.
Dr. Stanley I. Miller has been practicing holistic chiropractic in Brooklyn and Rockland for the past 25 years. I assume that he will answer your questions at:
AinOhdMilvado: Sheli shelach, shelach shelach…la la la
vicpr – ” You want learning? Make sure he goes to a shiur once or twice a week and let him learn on weekends. Guys who do this enjoy learning and look forward to it a lor more than guys who do it every day and its routine.”
What’s so bad about working five days a week and learning every day of the week? Many of us do it and feel wonderful about it.
And AZ, stop with your nonsense already. No one is going to change and start marrying older females because you or anybody else says so.
Many years ago, Rav Bulman zt”l told my wife that two fingers of hair may show.
I think they sell shells by the sea shore.
read above: “assuming that a Hershey Bar is made with powdered milk?”
Learning and halacha uses the application of p’sak to positions and conditions, whether practical or not.
catchylogin, aside from the last item what else would you change in this schedule?
