The “this” is clearly referring to drinking parties and the like.
Wolf,
He’s not marrying the image.
That’s what he tells you.
I don’t think he’s oiver on anything. I think he’s a jerk.
DY, the Halacha is not like you (Shulchan Aruch Even HaEzer 21,3 – and note that it is even wothy to do so).
You seem to not understand what I said.
Ubiquitin, thank you.
Flatbusher, they are asking for a picture of the girl; whether it’s the boy or his mother (or both) looking is anyone’s guess.
I didn’t realize that this was a problem.
Did someone say it was?
I don’t see the problem with it. physical attraction is, like it or not, an important component of dating. incidentally, halacha is actually very clear that a guy should indeed look (not leer) at the girl to see if he’s attracted to her physically.
Pictures are more like leering. Yes, attractiveness is important, and should be considered in the context of the date. A picture is only about the physical, though. I think it’s degrading to the kavod of a bas Yisroel.
and if he’s not, then the date will probably be a waste of time.
Probably, but not definitely? By that standard, no one should should ever go out, because probably it won’t work out. I think the kavod of a bas Yisroel is worth whatever “sacrifice” might be involved in going out without a picture, and kol shekein what the OP is talking about, which is disgusting.
I think gebrochs is more minhag than chumrah. No?
At a point during davening that it’s ossur to talk, you shouldn’t say “excuse me” or push somebody.
NC, which mainstream opinion? Why would it be ossur? What do you mean am I sure? If you want to know if I’ve discussed with a posek, the answer is yes, and he agreed with me, but as one cannot follow a psak from an anonymous internet poster, I am merely stating my opinion for the sake of the discussion, and would love to hear a reason to asser.
Let the water be the Borrer.
I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean.
It’s still Osser. See S’A 319 #8 MB #30 & Biur Halacha there.
Why do you keep repeating the same mareh makom when you know I hold its not a raya, and the following s’if is the relevant one?
Wolf is correct. Halachah is certainly Torah, so the expression doesn’t mean minhag trumps halachah, which it doesn’t.
By the way a minhag is stronger than halacha.
No, it isn’t.

deals specifically with pesticide.
Again, why should the basket make a difference? It’s not separating ochel from p’soles.
Again, I saw it, and again, it’s not similar. There, the dirt is p’soles and mixed with the ochel, and they are being separated by the holes.
Here, the water is never mixed with the cherry tomatoes (again, see #9), and the pesticide is not p’soles. Even if it were, or if there was dirt, it’s a machlokes, but has nothing to do with the container. If you wash fruit on Shabbos, this is no worse.
Earlier you said pesticide is p’soles, but he says it isn’t. Did you change your mind?
As far as pesticide not having a din of p’soles, see here:
Yes.
I told you to look at #9, which is the similar case.
Why is the OP comment #439,484
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/mazel-tov-ywn-cr-reaches-400000-comments#post-439484
Of course there is. Dagim, King of the Sea, Gefen, Mishpacha, etc., plus the OUP tuna.

What was changed in Joseph’s post?
Joseph, in his speech, Mr Rechnitz stated that he gets many calls from parents whose children have not been accepted.
I don’t think he stated that they applied to all of the schools, and I don’t know if they were still without a school when the school year started.
It seems like there are a lot of people expressing opinions here without really knowing what’s going on.
Joseph, it’s very painful to go through even part of a year without a school, and even to not have one before school starts, when most other kids do.
Do these kids not have any yeshiva to get into, or is it that they can’t get into the ones the parents want?
So it’s only canned tuna.
Is he okay with the ones with hashgacha temidis?
Because if his only issue is with the regular OU tuna, we’ve actually found something I agree with him on.
He wasn’t referring to one particular story.
Thanks.
BTW, what’s his issue with tuna?
I’m asking which one filed. Not that it’s any of my business anyhow, but I wonder if in context, some of the comments here are off-base.
Who brought whom to arcaos?
I never said or meant that all money is “tahor”. I don’t know where precisely to draw the line, but nowhere near where yichusdik wanted to. I doubt Rav Perr or Rav Mandel turn/turned down money simply because it was from mechallelei Shabbos, and I assume that nobody choshuv would knowingly accept money earned dishonestly. The issue was, as I understand it, the values those entertainers represent, and particularly because of their fame.
They also agree that tuna melts are assur.
The holes are not helping remove the dirt or pesticides at all.
I don’t see a safek.
No, Health, you are washing it off with water, and the keili is not separating a mixture. Did you see the halachah in Shulchan Aruch I referred to? P’soles is often subjective, cso for you pesticide might very well be p’soles, but the keili isn’t a factor.
LC, undoubtedly, there are some common mistakes made, but you are correct that not everything someone thinks is a mistake is, and some of these are examples of that.
ZD, apushatayid, I think that’s all beside the point, and anyhow, I disagree. I know the Satmar cheder would never accept my son yet I have no problem if they were to solicit a donation from me.
It would be my choice to give it not, but there would be nothing wrong with them asking.
Yichusdik, earlier you seemed to say that it would be hypocritical. You wrote:
No, DY. If the individual donor is too treif to daven at your omud, or his kids are not holy enough to be in your school, or his wife isnt tzniyus enough to pick up her kids at your door, then it is hypocritical and self defeating to accept money that is by those heilige standards, tamei.
See, I am not disagreeing with you about the abhorrence of the elitist attitude some have, or about the fact that the schools should stand their ground against it. You tacked on, though, a diatribe against the hypocrisy of accepting donations from people they wouldn’t accept, and that’s really not the issue.
Is it just as wrong for someone to always eat treif as it is to occasionally eat treif? I would think always is worse.
the mosod could be able to say – We will accept any Jewish child who from the point of his or her acceptance forward, their parents agree to abide by all the stringencies set out for all students.
Would you say that if parents would not be willing to accept these stringencies, it would be morally reprehensible for the school to accept a donation from them?
MA, they are not considered mixed. See ‘??”? ??”? ??”? ?.
Yes, he still has not answered that.
You can?
Health, your mistake is conflating two issues.
The container with holes in it is not separating any mixture. The only thing to even talk about is that it holds back the solids and allows the liquid to escape, but it’s not truly considered a mixture, as I mentioned (see ‘??”? ??”? ??”? ?).
The other issue is the dirt mixed in with the fruit (in this case the cherry tomatoes). There is what to discuss (although many poskim are meikil, including R’ Shlomo Zalman and R’ Moshe, to wash fruit right before eating), but this has nothing to do with the holes whatsoever. I also don’t know if the pesticides qualify as p’soles.
If the cherry tomatoes would float around in the box, it might be a mixture between the tomatoes and the water, but they don’t.
Additionally, if there were no holes, it would be a problem, because soaking fruit to have the p’soles float to the top is derech borer.
Health, if there is a significant amount of dirt, there is a borer issue, but why would the holes make it worse?
Cherry tomatoes usually come clean in the box, though, and edible as is, so a quick rinse for hygiene (or the perception of it) shouldn’t be a problem.
1) You’re not using the holes to separate between a mixture. The water is merely flowing through.

It doesn’t actually say even if we don’t believe in Hashem, it says even if we leave Him, the light (another variant reads “the keeping)” of the Torah will bring us back.
I don’t know if leaving Him even refers to being kofer bakol.
TLIK, do you mean kashrus-wise, or are you questioning if there might be a different reason not to take them?
I found these about homeopathic remedies:
