Wrong.
catchylogin – yes, it was meant to be humorous, and it does say “worst case scenario”. But unlike AZ, I firmly believe that all single’s could be married if they would allow it and make the step. Look for a mench and a yiras shamayim and the rest will fall into place if you’re both decent people.
“Is there anything wrong for a yeshiva bochur to be makpid on dating girls who are very pretty?”
You mean because you’re a yeshiva bochur that you should be more machmir on good looks? Well, I was very machmir, and so were the Avos.
Also, if you’re looking for middos too, Rav Aron Kotler zt’l would advise his talmidim to marry a girl from a poor family. I did, and never regretted it.
It’s relevant if you’re concerned about being machmir per Rav Moshe, as a bal nefesh would eat only a cholov yisroel Hershey Bar if it were available and all things were equal. In this case, the bal nefesh chumra does not apply as there are no Hershey Bars made with cholav yisroel milk.
“that isnt relevant to the issue.”
Please explain.
The posts are getting away from the issue. The main question here is: can someone who generally uses Cholav Yisroel milk also enjoy a Hershey Bar, assuming that a Hershey Bar is made with powdered milk?
Pirogen was what my wife ordered at Farm Food too.
My friend got married at Farm Food; halavai if we could have weddings like that today, we’d be just as happy and save a bundle too.
Remember the tiny deli on Broadway and 48th(?) run by an elderly chossid; the only fleishigs near Times Square, and no hashgacha.
AinOhdMilvado – I still have a vast record collection including a rare private album of Simon @ Garfunkel – rally for Gene McCarthy rally at Central Park.
Fellows, this is the worst case scenerio: Day = 24 Hours
8 hours work
2 hours travel to/from work
2 hours davening shachris,mincha,mariv
2 hours learning
1 hour eating
1 hour shower/bathroom/etc.
7 hour sleep
1 hour free to endure wife’s bidding/yapping/shopping
So it’s not so bad.
And yaff80 has it right, for a guy at least, being alone is the worst.
Drink a tall glass of water before bed.
The Rabbi’s Sons are still my favorite too.
There are hundreds of variables and one needs to know the actual circumstances and feelings of the person, which most of us don’t, in order to comment or be helpful.

Copyright Issues – Reviewed by Rabbi Benzion Schiffenbauer Shlita
A CD or tape which is no longer sold in stores and is not possible to buy may be copied from a friend.2
One who owns a CD or tape and is scared it may get lost is permitted to copy it. One who had a CD or tape which broke may make a copy of it from a friend.
One who owns a CD or tape may make a copy of it for personal use. For example, he may make a copy for his car, since it can be assumed that the one would not buy another copy of the CD or tape for his car, so no loss is being caused by the copying.3
It is permitted to copy a song off the radio since the quality is not as good as it would be if one were to buy the CD or tape.4
Music that is offered on the internet may not be copied since it is only put there for one to listen to.98 Some producers maintain that the forty-five second clips that are offered on the internet may be copied.4
Copying a CD or tape is forbidden even if one would never buy the CD or tape.5

“Rov Soloveitchik z’tz’l was very clear that much non-Jewish music elevated the soul and was mutar — even when sung by a woman.”
You mean beyond opera?
Who has hours to waste on Shabbos playing Monotony?
Cut it out.
Drunk = Chillul Hashem. No kaparah except misah. I would agree with canine and mw13 if they would get locked into a room and drink themselves into a stew, but we know that’s not the case. They have to have a crowd (hey! look at me!), make a raucous, and wallow in their own vomit which nebech someone else has to clean up.
It is not unusual in some communities out of New York for people who, for whatever reason, drive to an Orthodox shul on Shabbos. These are neither doctors nor Hatzala people. It is not for us to judge; it’s between them and Hashem.
But the bigger chutzpa is for an Orthodox shul to keep their parking lot open and available on Shabbos to accommodate the chillul Shabbos.
Interesting also that copyright law prevents you from copying and selling for profit, otherwise it is permitted:
Remember when you got specially printed menus at weddings along with a color schemed book of matches and silk yarmulke. And if you got the penny, it meant that you were entitled to take the flowers home. And wasn’t it nice when music was played at a sane level so you could talk to your friends and relatives.
If they are serious about this trick, why are the conditions not written in English; the language people in America read, speak and understand?
How is it done when one braid is poppy and the other sesame?
“When halacha and secular law conflict in dinei momonus, halacha is controlling.”
Then why the proliferation of secular law suits amongst the very frum; individuals as well as mosdos.
Daas Yochid – “That would be years ago.”
He still denies it…and there are others.
Does this rental hocus pocus hold up in an American courtroom? If not, why not? And does dina d’malchusa apply?
I know that R’ Shlomo used to voice his displeasure all the time, and there are others. Kol hamaivin, yavin.
Who says they don’t get permission from the composers?
The composers.
Tums, was that you?
I have a feeling that this thread is getting too close and too hot and may close down soon.
Anyway, there may be some technical halachic loopholes as Daas Yochid indicated, but how can one take the warning seriously when what is good for the goose is not good for the gander?
Eating out in public, as in weddings; yeshiva dinners; bar mitzvas; brissim; pidyon haben; kiddushim; vorts; parlor meetings? Eating publically at certain events makes the concept of eating out ok, the rest is PC.
I hate to pop your bubble, the dark is not pumpernickel; the dark braid is made with food coloring and the brain thinks it’s a different taste.
Mamma mia, that’s-a spicy meat ball-a.
Would it also be g’neiva to take someone’s tune without permission and use it as your own, and then put out a violation order if it’s copied?
I once asked the cash register clerk why he doesn’t say Thank You to the customers. His reply: I don’t have to; it’s already on the receipt.
It seems strange to rent a CD to an individual for the going price of a CD purchase. Rental generally means that you pay a fee on a daily; weekly; monthly base for as long as you use the item or service.
And when an owner rents to someone, he has a record of the renters name, address, etc.
It’s a nice try but it’s no rental no matter what’s on a piece of paper; call it something else, like a sham because that is how it is regarded.
ZeesKite – “it is a Halacha. One must stand for someone doing a mitzva.”
If what you are saying is true, then the Rosh Yeshivas and Rabbonim would stand as well, and they don’t. There is no mitzva to stroll down an aisle. The mitzva is performed during the ceremony and the masader kiddushin explicitly excludes the audience from participation and that’s why they sit.
Telephone exchanges that were Names instead of numbers.
Hand cranked adding machines.
Freezer paper.
hello99: Nu, so state your case?
hello99 – “You have not answered how you can quote Rav Grodzinsky as an unquestioned fact and ignore Reb Moshe arguing.”
Show me where I have done that and show me where I indicated that I follow Rav Chaim Ozer’s p’sak on gelatin over Rav Moshe’s.
The Goq – “What is the reason we stand for the Kallah and not the Choson?”
There is no minhag to stand for the Chasson or the Kallah when they are escorted down the aisle unless you want to get a better view.
There are halachos to stand for the aged or a talmud chochem.
Yes AinOhdMilvado, I remember the tubes for radio and TV and the tube testers at the hardware store. And also:
hello99 – You are misleading the CR readership because you make implications and assumptions and present them as definitive fact.
Your entire post is presumption presented as fact; and in fact is not true at all.
I spoke to with the Rav Hamachshir of a kashrus agency last night who told me that kosher gelatin does not necessarily come from animals that have had sh’chita.
You have not addressed the issue that kosher gelatin is pareve even though its origins are meat.
EXCEPTED FROM THE ORTHODOX UNION PUBLICATION:
There are many soaps today in which tallow is only a minority ingredient and still others in which the presence of tallow is difficult to determine. According to some authorities, there is a basis for leniency in both of these cases.
It is also important to note that many liquid soaps are actually detergent, not soap, and therefore they may not contain any animal fat at all.
hello: You say, “Not true”
Are you saying that the Rav Hamachshir for kosher gelatin requires that it come from animals that had sh’chita? Hello, is that a new shita?
I didn’t permit transformed foods, poskim have.
I have not said anything anywhere that would imply that I hold of any shita that disagrees with Rav Moshe. And whose side are you on?
I feel sorry for those who can’t experience a wonderful, delightful, meaningful kabbalas shabbos without Carlebach.
