@AAQ, “I’ll be interested to learn about ranges of halakha here.” when I ask a halacha lmayisha issue to a Rav I dont get into a give and take with him nor do I ask my lawyer for case law back up when I retain him for a legal opinion or a CPA for the IRS rulings I have something called trust for a expert.
Our history is littered with people who viewed torah as something to be use to fit the agenda they were pushing, from the Erev Rav and Korech to Shabbati Tzvi to Haskala to Kapos in WW II.ADA is a right afforded to all people in the US regardless of who they are, same as any other law, there were a few people who were horrified that frum people sued various villages for discrimination and they had no business exercising their rights.
I would pay for a tee shirt that reads: NO I AM NOT WEARING A MASK AND ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS WHY NOTStarbuck Grande ice coffee with almond milk and one sweet and low
@AAQ and lets say the answer does not fit into your agenda? then disregard it? Anyway its a moot point because we are talking about exercising one rights afforded under US law.
@not a Toyota but if its a Sussita or a Rom Carmel then you can
It is the height of Am Ratzius to say that we need to worry about maris arin when utilizing our right under US law, sorry pal but it is obvious that you have no clue about the rules in regards to ADA.
Maris ain does not even apply to the use of an eruv, it is safely assumes that if a frum person is pushing a stroller on shabbos there is a eruv. In fact the eruv and US law is a good analogy there were several cases of municipalities that were sued under Rluipa [Westhampton, Tenafly, Mahwah etal] for not allowing a eruv to be built, were we worried about maris ain when the eruv was built or our rights under US law.
Under normal circumstances I would have advised seeking out your LOR for guidance but I forgot you only advocate that if the answer would fit the agenda you are pushing otherwise you disregard it.lite with no sugar, soy if cholov yisroel is not around
@AAQ, when it come to rules we follow the rules, for example if the speed limit is 55 you don’t need to drive at 45 or if your sitting in first class and they announce first class is boarding you don’t need to wait and board with coach.
I have to deal on my job with ADA compliance and for example if the person had a certified service dog we were not allowed to ask the nature of the disablity because it is in vilolation of ADA.
Maris ayin applies when for example one got to a traif restaurant, utilizing your rights under ADA is not Maris ayin@fellowyid12234567890
Welcome to the CR, hope to see your comments with some deeper thoughtsWhat’s Choosid
There are a bunch of aliens who are day laborers and just jumped into a pick up truck, my cleaning help are aliens who are paying off the smugglers who got them across the Rio Grande
serious posts gets serrious replies
yup the amout of aliens swamping the the us increasing on a daily basis
So long as you are in compliance with the airlines policies its none of anyone business, show the documentation to the flight crew and if anyone makes a comment, be polite and tell them its none of your business, fly wherever and whenever your heart desires, its none of anyones business, if AAQ offer to pay for your upgrade to first class I would certainly take him up on his offer.
PS Maris ayin is only appicable in conficts in halachaWhats a overnight kugel?
@AAQ, “One striking example, he praises Hong Kong v. Israel, saying similar sized countries and see how better Hong Kong done w/ pure capitalism … With more time passed, we see that Hong Kong was gobbled by PRC and Israel produced some free enterprise …”
Hong Kong was not gobbled up by the PRC, it reverted back to China after the lease by the UK was over and they had to give certain assurances to them. Israel was dragged kicking into the free market during Bibi’s first term and the socialist were fighting him every step of the way.
Please dont reinvent history. BTW Friedman was 1000% right the GNP of Hong Kong was and is still greater then Israel.
If you told the CEO of Spirit, Ryanair or Wizz air that they are doing tzodoka they would laugh in your face and tell you to get a check up from your neck up@Catch Yourself, “We also paid for four checked bags ($41 each, which is higher than it used to be).
Total cost: $286 one way, or $572 round trip, for 6 passengers.”
Love it, that plus the lowest paid employees in the airline industry caused my Spirt stock to soar.Another day another family kicked off of Sprirt, thanks for reminding not flying them
@YWfakeN, sock puppet
@choosid, dont know if a lot of oil makes it overnight, but i do know a lot stupid comments makes you a troll
@hml, grandparents should smile for the pictures maybe offer to host a sheva bruchos other then that should mind the own business. If my parents / inlaws stuck the nose into my kids shidduchim I would very politly tell them to go fly a kite.
AAQ, you mention that story in three prior forums
@AAQ,Exactly my point a Rav understands how to read between the lines if it means not wearing a mask or understanding that there is no meat at the table, I get it but you dont because you feel no need to ask a rav
@ Reb E and the common demoninator with your story and my comment is?
That am ratzim pasken the own saylios? if thats the case I am 1000% in agreement with you.@AAQ “as with a guy who asked a shaila whether he can make arba kosot on milk. Rav gave him money for wine – and also for meat.”
That guy could have paskened on his own and not asked a shaila and used milk after all he may have read it on Rabbi Google that you canThe mods are very open in allowing a wide ranges of topic and opinions, if you write something that attacks the commenter on a personal level, they will edit it.
If you write an obvious trollish topic they will not publish it, even so they let quite a number to be posted@AAQ, the chocom and rasha ask the exact same question just the motivation is different, the rasha asks questions and is a kofer b’ikar [ maybe omited in your hagada] torah values silence so the shinah yodah is valued more
@AAQ, opinions are like store everyone has at least 2 and they stink for the most part, you just admitted that you use daas torah if and when it is in line with your particular agenda otherwise you disregard it, you feel that mask wearing is the mitzvah of the year, someone else calls it the avodah zorah of the year, other people feel its like red lights, midtown gridlock or constipation a necessary burden of daily living.
Is it the mitzva of the year or the avodah zorah of the year or none of the above, for that guidance I consult with my LOR not some self proclaimed expert of social mediain other words NO
@AAQ, actualy my Rav paskened on quite a few times to do something that I felt otherwise and I defered to him.
My qustion requires a simple Yes or No
if bais din or the local rabbis who have came out with a letter totally dismissing the use of masks and saying one should not use it would you have listened to “daas torah” do you only do it when it matches your agenda? I want you to be 100% honest, Yes or No?@AAQ, 1. in my case the Rav who I asked knows me since I was born and my family even before that, he told us very explict instuctions and made it clear that is for his shul and his shul only over the past year, outdoor social distance minyan for exactly 10 people then indoors same rules, then no limit on size, then each to his/her own, anyone who didnt feel comfortable didnt have to daven in his shul.
2. Dont know as I dont have school age children, I assume the school that my grandchild attend got guidance from the rabbical board of the schools [in my case 4 differnt schools in 3 seperate locals]
3. I have not idea what your question to me is.Now let me ask you one question, if bais din or the local rabbis who have came out with a letter totally dismissing the use of masks and saying one should not use it would you have listened to “daas torah” do you only do it when it matches your agenda? I want you to be 100% honest, Yes or No?
@AAQ
“why are you repeatedly accusing me of some non-kosher connections? I am following guidelines by the local beit din ” this is the first time that you said you follow daas torah, you constantly dismiss the idea that a Rav knows better, now that you took this first step to follow it when your daas torah fits your agenda let make it your business to follow it even its contrary to agenda.interesting most of your topic are trollish
“Any thoughts?” yes you shold be cleaning for peasch instead of trolling
@AAQ, the torah says pri eaitz hadar and we have misorah as to the denim of arbah meanim.
“mask is a “mitzva of the year”. thats you opinion and no one else besides some OO rabbi who make up halacha as they see fit.
I can use my mask on peasch because I hardly ever used iteveryone run the sder according to the minhag and misorah, our family for example does not talk out during the entire magid from halachma anya till goal yisroel even to say divray torah, so each to his/her own
@jackk, this is from someone who mocked the conspect of daas torah, wow I am impressed by your teshuva
I plan to take all the masks that I accumilated over the past year and burn it together with the chometz and never wear one again
@AAQ, nothing personal but edited Milton Friedman said it best. “A Friedman Doctrine: The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase Its Profits”. In it, he argued that a company has no social responsibility to the public or society; its only responsibility is to its shareholders.
Spirit said it in as many words, the CEO said it our job to get you from point A to point B no different then the subway, anything extra you are going to pay for it, and if the plane does not fly thats too bad.
If @ Catchyourself can beat them at their own game more power to him, fact of the matter is 60% of Spirits revenue come from ancilary fees and the airlines as a whole take in about 8 B in baggage fees.
You really need to do some serious soul searching if your idea of tzedoka is low airfares and idea of terchah dtzibur is having them answer amain
