No, thanks. I’ll leave that for you.
There were also outhouses.
Trump and Clinton are both horrible, but Trump is not Duke, and Clinton is not bichlal amisecha.
What are Fresh and Healthy’s sales compared to what Ahava’s were?
That’s assuming the previous owners were willing to sell the name for a price the new owners were willing to pay.
Ahava products were always considered inferior to Mehadrin, so perhaps they wanted a fresh start.
Is running water a necessity?
Americans do consider it a necessity.
I think Fresh and Healthy took over the facilities.
Are there really so many people who would see an OU on an ingredients sub-panel and think it’s all kosher?
They’re probably the same people who think sour cream is pareve.
The last thread you should think is “safe” is one with the word “Modern” in the title.
He specifically said: (when amira lakum is allowed)
Plus the passport, so seven.
4 in 1 printer/scanner/copier/fax, steak, and tuna fish.
Siman, sibah, or misovev?
The way you define it, it has little to do with age gap.
The way others define it, as not enough boys for the girls, it has a lot to do with age gap.
2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner.
How do you define the shidduchim crisis?
Your passport.
Yes, the Mishpacha brand is owned by Manischewitz.
They look different.
Mods, please allow; these are just images of grape juice bottles:
Non kosher:

Kosher:
Not if you know the winning numbers but won’t play them anyhow.
Is it sincere?
…meshaneh habrios?
It’s the boy! They have so much more to choose from that they can easily dismiss a young lady that isn’t exactly what he wants.
It’s a good theory (and is in fact true before dating), but once they meet, it’s more often the girl who says no.
Perhaps they use that term to make them feel better?
No, no.
Welch’s is now producing a kosher grape juice together with Manischewitz, but their regular grape juice is not kosher.
More often the girl.
No, popa, learning daf yomi two months behind doesn’t qualify as nistar.
I think you make a shehechiyanu on Pringles, because nishdayngesheft and zahavasdad agree about them.
Regular potato chips (not Pringles) are hoadama.
I don’t know what bracha hagafen chips are.
What type of chips?
It was obviously not a thread to be taken literally but to make a point.
You mean you’re not really a christmas tree?
People didn’t disagree with the point you were making, they (myself included) disagreed with the way you made it.
Bump
I don’t know if that’s the case- that it’s clear the tefilah is for political reasons.
So we disagree.
I have heard that Rabbonim in the Charedi communities compose special tefilos during times of war like during Cast Lead or the second Lebanon War.
Where I daven, we say extra Tehillim followed by Acheinu, not some newly composed tefillah.
Thank you, ZD.
Don’t you think halacha is meaningful?
Let it be noted that you haven’t defended your statement that he is not Jewish in any meaningful way being shown to be k’neged halachah.
Fine, so apply my response to your earlier sentence, A mi sheberach exists for soldiers and not for firefighters. Why? I don’t think it matters.
It’s existence is not for the welfare of the soldiers; it exists as a political statement. Haga atzm’cha; if there were as many firefighters in danger as soldiers (your distinction regarding the source of danger is incomprehensible to me), would the tefillah l’firefighters be instituted? Of course not. They we would be (as they and the soldiers are) included in existing tefillos.
As far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t exist; we don’t say it in my shul. So, let’s start from square one. Should we compose and say every Shabbos a tefillah for soldiers for no political reason? The clear answer is no, but the OP says that our not saying it shows poor middos.
Was the mi sheberach started for political reasons so that Zionism can be injected into tefilah under the guise of hakaras hatov? Possibly, but I don’t think it matters.
Of course it matters. The OP wants my shul/yeshiva to start saying it.
Ha yea, I will charge interest to a non-Jew and Bernie Sanders alike. “
I don’t think that is halachicly sound.
Nor do I.
I would not call the possibility as remote as you would.
Do you treat non Jews as Jews for amira l’akum and other dinim?
Some people say they will vote for Sanders because he has a Jewish neshama or out of a sence of Jewish solidarity or they want to see the first Jewish president. Im saying all these notions are silly to me. Generating feelings of kinship with apikorsim simply because they are famous and esteemed by the world is nonsense.
Okay, but he’s still Jewish, and the others still aren’t. To me, it’s more of a reason not to vote for him, but the facts are the facts.
Forget the lox and gefilte fish already – the difference is that one is halachically Jewish because his mother is, and the other is not halachically presumed to be Jewish, despite the remote possibility that he technically is.
Do you refrain from all forms of amira l’akum (even heter) because they “very well may be” Jewish?
Sanders has not actually proclaimed himself to be an atheist.
Fair enough, but he refused to give s simple “Yes” when asked if he believes in G-d.
It would be peculiar for an atheist to make a bracha to a God he believes does not exist!
Nah, he’s a politician.
The poskim who disagree with Rabbi Tendler mostly hold that cessation of breathing constitutes halachic death.
Charlie, earlier, ubiquitin wrote “By definition a brain dead pateitn is not breathing rather a ventilator is breathing for him.”
Is that incorrect?
I dont care if he eats lox and bagels
That’s fine. What’s odd is that you don’t differentiate between someone who is Jewish and someone who is not, and that the fact that he may be an unknown Jew is relevant to you.
Charlie, would you vote for a professed atheist?
It shouldn’t be used as a sword to attack those who don’t say it by implying that they don’t appreciate what soldiers are risking and fighting for…
You do realize that this thread was likely started for that purpose (as was the other I linked to earlier)?
I’m sure many, probably most people who say it do it with pure intentions.
there is a difference between a fire which, while dangerous, is not actively seeking to kill and destroy as it is not a living conscious being. As opposed to our enemies who would like nothing more than to kill us
That’s actually very cynical, to say that the emotion is largely hatred for the enemy, rather than concern for our fellow Yidden’s safety. The better chillul to say would be that more soldiers are at risk and die than do firefighters. Of course that’s not the real reason it was instituted…
No, he’s showing that we don’t create tefillos even for people who put their lives on the line. It’s not really a good raya, but that’s what he’s doing.
As rabbiofberlin pointed out, this is political.
Except that he’s got it backwards. The tefillah was created for political reasons, and we’re not buying into it.
Or, he is pointing out that we don’t ordinarily create extra tefillos to express hakaras hatov to specific people or groups.
In truth, the b’nei yeshivah, Hatzolah members, and chayalei Tzahal all are covered in Yekum Purkon and Mi Shebeirach.
