    Rev E, if someone is davka changing into weekday clothing to be able to wear it during the week, it is hachana. It’s clear that he’s not doing it because this is what he wants to wear now.

    So, RebE’s grandfathers took on different observances than someone else’s. No need to argue…

    There’s no minhag to allow blatantly preparing for chol on Shabbos.

    Besides, my grandfathers had the minhag of pointing out when someone tries to peddle false halacha, so there’s no point in arguing with me

    Stepping can be done on a weekday in 9 days when not worn before.

    B’dieved

    As far as wearing weekday clothes on Shabbos, you are mistaken. It’s hachana.

    The only heter is clothing you really could wear on Shabbos (such as a white shirt) and on Shabbos morning, instead of putting on your shirt from Friday night, you out on a fresh shirt, that’s okay. Same when waking up from a nap.

    But stam trying on clothes that you don’t need to put on is hachana.

    No he didn’t. He said, correctly, that plenty of people make parnossa without the full regimen of secular studies. They do learn parnossa skills, just not in the way you advocate.

    Dr. Fauci and Bill gates together came up with this Coronavirus pandemic plan together quietly to bring it upon the nation and the world so they can access to your entire life and all your information. As well as the entire tech world now of Google, Facebook and Twitter that are conquering to take over our entire freedoms and privacy of our lives and share it with whoever they want.

    The differnce is that ssy it is not a hefsek being part of teflla

    DY, he means to say that it beautifies the tefila like cufflings on a shirt or icing on a caks which should not be a hefsek.

    To claim that they are a hefsek makes no sense. It’s like saying the icing is a hefsek in the cake. Or that the cufflinks are a hefsek in the shirt.

    I’m sure you realize that there is no din that a cake or shirt can’t have a hefek. So, the comparison doesn’t make sense.

    How about the KOLLEL movement

    You’d have a hard time convincing me that it has a negative effect on the birth rate.

    where the husband abrogates his kesuba obligations?

    That’s pretty much a fallacy. In the vast majority of cases (I’m not aware of any exceptions but there certainly might be) the wife is mochel on him going to work and allows him to go to the beis medrash.

    Maybe as more people are vaccinated, the risk of getting sick diminishes and less restrictions are required.

    You missed his point. The loosening of restrictions was sudden and unexpected.

    He didn’t discourage vaccination; I don’t know where you got that notion from.

    Now that the supply is higher than demand, they pull out their secret weapon and remove restrictions for the vaccinated

    For all practical purposes they removed them for everyone since nobody’s checking.

    why should i take the the vacccine if i had the virus already ?

    They think the vaccine gives better and longer lasting immunity than immunity obtained by getting the virus. It’s also more recent.

    Does that mean it’s worth it? I don’t know. I think getting vaccinated is pretty much a no-brainer for someone who never has the virus, but I understand the hesitancy of someone who once had it. I’m also not anxious for 12 year olds to get the Covid vaccine.

    It’s not that I don’t “care” about people dying from the flu, it’s that the link between me not wearing a mask and people dying from the flu is tenuous at best

    So you’re also pro death. Just less than us.

    To DaasYochid: If Yiddish is not going anywhere, are you saying it will not go into the future? Is your command of Yiddish any better than your command of English?

    DY: It it fair to say that “rebbetzin” has simply become to (almost) be used as another way of saying “wife” or “Mrs.”?

    Not in its more formal use, only in a light-hearted way.

    To answer the OP, it’s become common to use the term rebbtzin in a nonliteral way, e.g. “I am inviting you and your rebitzen to sheva brochos” (CS objected to that, but it doesn’t bother me, since the term rebbetzin doesn’t really have that much importance to me).

    Using the term for a public speaker whose husband isn’t a rabbi sort of expands that.

    i would add that i probably disagree with your statement as there seems to be a lack of understanding of roles that can lead to the false belief that it is the same role but differently labled.

    I think a rabbi in a chareidi community has a different role than a rabbi in a modern community. So if a “rebbetzin” in a chareidi community plays a similar role as a rabbi in a modern community (public speaking/chizuk), does that make her a MO rabbi?

    The above proves somewhat that she can be a Rebbetzin before getting married as Vashti argued that she was a queen before marrying Achashverus.

    Inapt comparison. The classic definition of a rebbetzin is a rav’s wife, but a queen does not have to be a king’s wife.

    so i agree with coffee addict that it is similar. While it may not affect the “ruling “in this case, i am careful not to offer free things to people who can purchase them without hardship.

    Ignore the source of the food for a moment.

    What would you do if your neighbor asked you to pick up some milk, and let’s say you had some extra around (e.g. overbought and would spoli if not used soon). You wouldn’t just give them a container regardless of ability to buy it in the store?
