So it seems that Rav Moshe and Rav Aharon may indeed hold of the s’vara of chemical transformation, but assir the gelatin from a non kosher animal for a different reason.
The posek who was matir gelatin made from pig’s bones was Rav Chaim Ozer Grodzinski. Have you heard of him?
“As I pointed out, neither Reb Ahron Kotler nor Reb Moshe Feinstein agree with you.”
Sorry to disappoint you, but I’m no posek.
.
Correct, but many are.
It’s the logic of poskim, I can’t take credit.
Many poskim are of the opinion that if the Jew is a m’challel Shabbos, he will be driving somewhere regardless,i.e., to get gas or to the movies or shopping, and you are not the cause of his chillul Shabbos by inviting him for a Shabbos meal.
“If you are shomer Shabat and you have a kosher home, you are part of the Orthodox community”
The requirement to be a practicing Shomer Shabat is not the Federation criteria of the Orthodox label let alone Chareidi. Accordingly, the numbers are much lower, especially out of New York City when using standard daati definitions.
There are various halachic opinions whether one could/should invite a non-frum person for a Shabbos meal and also how to go about doing it.
But even a frum physician has a heter to drive home on Shabbos if by doing so it may get him to his patients quicker and thus save a human (maybe a Yid) life.
But is matir soap.
All proofs from past poskim concerning non-kosher soap is not valid bizman hazeh , because even if there were a non-kosher fat in the soap, in our times the process entails a chemical transformation that renders (excuse the pun) the soap a non-fat entity.
There are similar items and foods used today that start out with a non-kosher ingredient but the chemical transformation allows it for kosher use.
If it will enhance shalom bais, use the hashgacha soap.
Pass the soap.
No soap, Radio. Ha Ha Ha.
My Friday night minhag is to loosen my belt to make room for dessert. Ahhhh..oneg Shabbos.
It’s all baba meisa, no hashgacha needed for soap or sponges. But once you have hashgacha for one brand, it creates the status quo.
Kol Haposel B’mumo Posel.
I’ve lived OOT and also a resident of Brooklyn. There is no less rudeness OOT than in Brooklyn. Interesting, I find OOT’ers to be far more nosy than those living in Brooklyn and much more lason hara is spoken by OOT’ers than those living in Brooklyn. People who live in Brooklyn tend to mind their own business.
Sonas Matonas Yichye. If you can’t afford a watch, don’t get married, and you’re no prize catch either.
A guy should not expect anything and certainly not ask for a gift. I didn’t get any gifts and it was no big deal.
What’s with these pritzus ads that are appearing on the left side of the page? Is it a hack job? Looks pretty bad for YW.
Yes, but it’s still interesting that Moshe was made Kohen Gadol after Matan Torah, while married to a geyores . Also of note are the other Jewish leaders throughout our history who were married to a geyores.
I don’t think it’s the Rav per se that makes for a better marriage. People possessing character qualities that desire and welcome a Rav into their lives, and heed his words unconditionally, are the same that define candidates for a good marriage.
Bakeries with hashgacha sift their flour in industrial sized fine electric sifters.
Moshe Rabeinu married Tzipora, a geyores. It’s interesting to note that after his marriage to Tzipora, Hashem offered Moshe the position of Kohen Gadol and indeed Moshe initially acted as Kohen Gadol until the position was transferred to his brother Aharon.
The politicians probably have a pretty fare idea of borough demography, but you’re not going to get anywhere near 100,000. I bet Marvin Schick could make a good estimate. How many Lubavichers do you think are in Crown Heights?
Someone knows an Ashkanaz who married a Syrian, and someone also knows a ger in the that community, well I guess that breaks the rule. Paleeze.
Why do you say that shlishi?
This entire thread is nonsense since no one has ever come back to tell us what it’s like in Shamayim concerning spousal relationships. No one is taking a stroll together or having a picnic in Shamayim; it’s an entirely different dimension of which we have no concept of.
Same thing goes for T’chiyas Hameisim. The g’mara may speculate on some issues, but we don’t know how it will conform to our existence today.
Moshiach is another story, nothing will change except that the goyim will recognize that Hashem is the true one and everything that results from this belief; and we’ll have a lot of answers to our questions.
Feif Un – How do you manage to have A&B fish’s paper wrap not get stuck to the loaf during cooking; we have had no luck? While the fish may be tasty, because some of the fish sticks to the wrap, the result is disfigured fish. We switched to Ungers, good fish and no stuck paper problem.
Even using the most liberal criteria, there are a lot less Orthodox than is claimed. For that matter, there are a lot less Jews overall than claimed.
Syrians do not accept geirim, but in practice, they don’t accept Ashkanazim either. This behavior has resulted with the consequences of genetic inbreeding within their community.
Yes, his father-in-law.
It depends, how is her cholent?
Your Rav will advise you on everything, including which Rav too approach for a particular piece of advice or halacha.
Your Rav is part of your life, every day of your life.
As the gemara states, when takanos are issued, the Rabbonim wait to see if they can be adhered to by k’lall yisroel. It is very difficult for k’lall yisroel to change their character all at once, nor does chazal expect them to, since as the mussser s’farim advise us, change doesn’t work unless it takes place a little at a time.
Once the takanos have evolved and have been accepted and followed, they become part of the minhagim which bring us closer to Hashem. However, while the takanos may be too difficult to follow at first, the message is not lost by frum Yiden.
umm – as you can see and appreciate, I’m the most serious guy in the CR.
“I need a quick favor…”
Is it too late to post?
I’ll be collecting the trash and cleaning the mess left by those too stoned to enjoy the real meaning of Purim.
It’s suggestive, like wearing pants under a skirt or underwear on top of clothing.
For all of you who are C”Y, be honest; is it all products and all the time or only when it’s convenient?
apushatayid – “In my day, bachurim spent purim with their families or in yeshiva with their rabbeim and chaverim.”
It’s ironic that spirits, tzedaka, costumes, and Shalach Monis are all an integral part of the Chag, which when done properly are an enhancement to Simchas Purim, but when abused they destroy the entire message of Purim.
Just love my Evo.
The internet was created to dispense and make Torah available to all Yiden and to alert the entire world in an instant of the arrival of Moshiach.
And, cats stink.
Glue traps are only good while the glue is still very sticky, which is not very long. And with poison, the mice get immune to the poison and start to eat it for snack.
The best way I find to get rid of mice is using the old fashioned mouse trap. Carefully, bait a bunch of traps and put them all on a large size tray or the like, and put the tray on the floor and against a wall in an area which cannot be reached by anyone; like behind the couch.
Check it a few days later and count your catch.
We have lots of rocky raccoons in Midwood, saw one last night.
Oomis, I feel your pain but give yourself a chance. P’tcha is an acquired taste like fine dry wine and it’s full of nutrients. So don’t deprive yourself of this time tested and tasted cuisine and join us who are privileged to indulge.
Bracha is not a name.
Dos iz a shande. Mir alle redden Yiddish vee a goy.
Rav Belsky is not my Rav and my shul and home are filtered for hachnosas orchim purposes.
If Rav Belsky says it’s ok; it’s ok and end of story.
RABBAIM – “Take a sefer to read in bed. The yetzer hora will make sure you fall asleep fast!”
I heard that from Rav Scheinberg. He also said that if you take a sefer to a chasunah, you will always find someone to talk to, for the same reason.
charliehall – “I don’t shave. Ever.”
because……….?
“it doesnt become “holy” but a long tradition does give it a certain choshivus”
Oh, it’s holy alright, just like our holy mamah loshon.
Are there any mavinim out there who knows where they sell decent p’cha/gala in Brooklyn? It’s become a lost art and I’ve been searching for the real thing for a long time.
