Yesh chochma bagoyim, sometimes we can apply it.
You missed the point
Ok, I looked it up, the source seems to be based in some christian observance, so to apply it to the idea of minhag hamakom is indeed offensive, although I’ll give R’ Eliezer a pass for not knowing the source.
I won’t give him a pass for making up halachos though, in this case based on his lack of respect for a genuine minhag which he happens to not share.
I’m not sure what the source for that phrase is, and how it’s being (mis)applied, but the halacha Reb Eliezer made up is wrong (unless someone has a specific minhag otherwise).
DY, so you do insist that Maharal is a kofer
Chas v’shalom. Don’t hide your kefirah behind made up Maharals like you tried to disparage Rav by making up a gemara.
Which Maharal, the fifth cup mentioned in the hagadah put out by a forger?
another possibility: Tannaim did not care about the pairs, but Amoraim did in part through their contact with Persians.
The Amoraim obviously didn’t feel that way or they wouldn’t have asked the kashya.
Pretty sure that comment of yours is kefirah. It’s definitely really stupid.
Or maybe you’re way past your fourth cup…
contrary to some CR residents, Gemorah is not ending it with “well, surely Tannaim knew daas Torah, so let’s not ask the question”
Contrary to some cr residents, the gemara doesn’t contemplate that maybe the Tannaim made a mistake.
Rambam had it
He says it’s not a chov like the first 4, and he doesn’t say to drink it.
Rav – first cup is separate
I don’t have that in my gemara
3) :עיין גמ’ פסחים קט
I think we all agree that it’s against halacha to dress not b’tznius.
I think we also all agree that it’s not always easy to clearly deliniate what is considered b’tznius.
So we can’t figure out the actual halacha by looking it up in Shulchan Aruch as I think (or at least hope) we can all agree that there are clear violations of tznius which are not found explicitly in Shulchan Aruch.
So we leave it to the poskim to determine whether individual cases of styles of dress conform to acceptable tznius standards.
Rav Falk zt”l was a big talmid chochom (just read his teshuvos on a broad range of topics) and was certainly entitled to his opinion as to what does and does not conform to halacha.
Someone claiming that what he said as halacha is really chumra better be in his league in learning to have such an opinion. If your rav says he disagrees, fine, but just realize that Rav Falk was a massive talmid chochom and he held something was assur (not chumra) then it’s not proper to dismiss it as chumra without qualifying that “my rav disagrees and says it’s not absolutely necessary”.
Thats not a repeat. You originally asked why it’s a problem since you mistakenly thought it’s not assur to bake chometz on erev Pesach.
Now you’re asking a new question – why don’t we say it’s muttar because it’s two d’rabbanans.
The simple answer is that usually even two d’rabbanans is assur. In this case, they obviously accepted the minhag that way, as we find that people abstain from kitniyos at the same time as chometz.
You err.
If is most certainly assur to own chometz on erev Pesach after chatzos mid’oraisa. Most Rishonim hold it’s an asei, but there is an opinion that bal yero’eh and bal yimotzeh also start then.
As numerous posters have commented, and I showed you sources, the accepted minhag is to not eat kitniyos from the same time we stop eating chometz.
Reb Eliezer, he doesn’t specify, but presumably he means after סוף זמן אכילת חמץ. He is obviously not talking about before סוף זמן אכילת חמץ.
Source for not eating kitniyos erev Pesach: חק יעקב תע”א
http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=32461&st=&pgnum=106
Quoted by שבט הלוי ג’, ל”א. He calls one who does a פורץ גדר.
Bump
שבט הלוי says someone who eats kitniyos on ערב פסח is a פורץ גדר.
A moshol would be if a husband doesn’t like fried schnitzel band his wife doesn’t like grilled.
A compromise would be if they serve each half of the time.
If they just always eat steak, that’s not a compromise, it’s just avoiding the issue.
It’s a rumor, one I’m inclined to believe.
Of course, because it fits your agenda. But it’s a bunch of malarkey. Made up by someone with the same preconceived notions as yours.
Unless you believe in conspiracy theories…
You can’t keep deaths quiet.
There haven’t been “many many” deaths since almost a year ago. R”L there have been some.
Are you saying it’s okay for someone whose family minhag is to not eat gebrokts to break the minhag and eat knaidlach?
שערי תשובה סימן תס ס’ק י
וממה דכתיבנא מבואר דבין המחמירין ובין המקילין אלו ואלו עושים כוונים לשמים אילו דעתם לפרוש משימצא דשימצא חימצא ובר חימצא בכדי להזהר מחמץ כל שהוא בכל חומר האפשר, ואלו משום מניעת שמחת יום טוב שלא ערב להם לחם מצה חריבה ובפרט למי
שקשה לו הלעיסה ויש שמחמירין ביותר שאין אוכלים מצה כלל אחר ליל הראשון רק אוכלים למעדנים מיני תבשילין והרבה נמנעים
oלעשות כן משום שמחת יום טוב כי פתא סעדא דלבא ועל אילו ועל אילו שלבם לשמים קורא אני ועמך כולם צדיקיOkay, but once it’s your family minhag, you can’t decide to be machmir on simchas Yom Tov at the expense of the zehirus not to eat gebrokts.
A potato cholent is very good
It’s a good stew. It’s not cholent.
DY, kitniyas for the askanezim is an issur even on the last day whereas gebroks is mutar
So? It’s still assur to go against your minhag
It is also unhealthy. Having pure egg noodles in the soup does not help to fight cholesterol.
Nah, eggs are fine. If you’re worried about cholesterol, stay away from unhealthy fats and refined sugar and flour. Including the refined flour found in some matza balls.
Edit: to be fair, Pesach lukshen has potato starch, which I can’t imagine is too healthy.
As opposed to…?
Rabbanut
Also, cholent without beans is a much bigger issue than soup without a knaidel.
The bottom line is that if your minhag is to not eat something, you can’t just eat it anyhow because you want to, and use simchas Yom Tov as an excuse.
the home made egg noodles in the soup are no good.
You’re invited to come here and see that you’re wrong
Where did you get this idea from?
My friend says his wife keeps hiding the vodka, so he uses hand sanitizer instead. It doesn’t taste as good, but does the job.
Hmmm…
Which guys who call the shots? Store owners?
people who drink vodka
At times I think you’ve had one too many…
pure nonsense, as far as my biology knowledge goes. no challenge causes a mutation.
It doesn’t cause the mutation, but if you eliminate the original, only the mutation can spread and that will become the dominant strain.
That is why it takes a kid to observe that the solution is technically simple – everyone stays by themselves for 2 weeks …
That’s not how you said the kid stated it.
@☕️DaasYochid☕️, @🍫Syag-Lchochma, now that we’re done, any ideas for a new thread?
Can we talk about hand sanitizer?
Some simple ideas, tell me whether you are doing them or are they high maintenance?
Ok– open windows in shul and school
Not if it’s cold outside. Was never my decision anyhow.
– not flying for vacation
I hardly do that anyway, but is flying for business safer? Why do you ask about vacation?
– ordering delivery from the store instead of going there
I did that in the beginning.
– learning with your child for one day a week, or forming a small group with neighbors, instead of sending to a crowded school
No, no, chas v’shalom except when the yeshivos were closed or we were in quarantine.
– going one time less to shul,
Unfortunately, didn’t go to shul for months when they were closed, but after they opened, no
or not talking there,
Good idea anyhow. When it was okay to talk, stayed six feet away from people who were unmasked and hadn’t had Covid
or not staying for kiddush
Yes, I didn’t go to kiddushim except to say a brief mazel tov.
And most flu deaths.
Unless I am mistaken, masking stopped the flu almost entirely.That, and serious reduction in international travel
Technically, it would take longer. Unless individuals in the home would isolate from each other as well.
As a kid put it nicely “if the whole world would stay home for 2 weeks, COVID will be gone”.
We kind of tried that…
So, until the time rates start going down, personal benefit from the vaccine will have counter-balanced by increase in propagation if the vaccinated will become significantly less cautious.
But the vaccinated are so unlikely to spread it that it’s hard to believe vaccination won’t significantly reduce the spread even if it changes behavior.
Can someone please explain to me why we don’t know if the vaccine reduces spreading?
How can someone spread covid if they don’t get it? Even if someone gets a milder case of covid than they would have had they not been vaccinated (because the vaccine still reduces the virus in the small minority who will still get infected) they still should be spreading it less than if they had a worse case (although I guess you could argue if they are sick at home they will expose fewer people…).
Baba Vanga
Related to Baba Maaseh?
I have no idea what you are trying to say
Syag, must be.
To add to UJM, and was pretty much the foundation for Torah in America.
Also, what was needed in the 40’s was not the same thing as is needed in the 2020s.
So while one can argue that what BMG offered in it’s first couple of decades, it no longer offers, it is still a hugely successful yeshiva, and it’s hard to fathom how someone can refer to it as a failure.
AAQ, that was before the Verrazzano.
The NYT doesn’t frequently lie outright. They do get caught every now and then.
Their dishonesty is primarily in how they present the stories, with obvious liberal and anti-Israel bias, and in which stories they choose to publish or not.
They have Hakoras Hatov for the things he has done for the jews specifically.
Also true.
All in all, the OP makes a very weak point.
It was never about Trump. It was about the Senate.
That’s probably why the two seats in Georgia went to Democrats – because it’s hard to not vote for someone who you know will deliver $1400 per family member to you.
The GOP voted on principle, because you can’t keep giving away endless $. That cost them the Senate.
I won’t be giving back the money they send me, but I really don’t know that the stimulus giveaway is a good move in the long run.
