How can something be legal in NY if it’s a federal crime?
Is it not possible that the FDA has political motivations for not approving?
Also, what was edited?
If you put lipstick on a fish, it’s still smells.
But it talks even more than it used to.
“it’s not the reason that it’s kosher”
The Torah explicitly says that it is. Twice.

So if I take fins and scales and implant them on a treifa fish, does that make it kosher?
OK, so then for Ashkenazim, we’re back to the turkey question and your previous favorite answer doesn’t really help then.
We don’t retroactively asser it.
It’s not just about having something in common, it’s about being compatible and being able to have a good marriage.
Say two people have hearing issues. You would say they have something in common, and that’s true. But what if they are different hashkafically, or one wants to live in a big city and the other hates big cities, or some other difference? Should they marry each other just because they have something in common?
Maybe you need an epidural
This thread is not that painful.
OK, I think I got it. Are you saying that people need to be realistic that if they have issues, they’re generally only going to be set up with people with similar issues?
I have a strange feeling this story isn’t true.
I don’t know, but enjoy them.
Shopping, not all issues were created equal.
Apy, my first question would be why they that an individual as Rav Hamachshir rather than a known organization.
Why is it assur to cook shrimp?
Then you need to clarify in a major way, because price is generally based on supply and demand. A retailer can’t raise his prices above market prices (for the market in which he’s competing in), on metalt’lin, but those prices are usually set by s&d, completely consistent with halachah.
A shadchan’s services, BTW, would not be subject to ona’ah.
Your first sentence is not true, which is not a stirah to your second sentence (which is partially true).
(or on Yom Kippur)
(or basar b’cholov)
(on Shabbos)
It’s assur for a man to cook.
Gavra, I would guess so.
It means you didn’t go to the user’s actual profile.
Is this what you were looking for?

I don’t think anyone thinks 4″ is literal halacha
Unfortunately, that’s not true.
Sam, precise source, please?
ZD, lol.
Tell him – he neeeeeeds to know!
We promise, we won’t look, only popa will.
hh should have said “nearly universal,” but it was implied.
I agree, and I wonder if, as hh suggests, it has become binding. I would think so.
What did you make?
I’m a diner. Last night I ate food.
No, worse, they are examples of Halachos that are outright ignored.
That wasn’t the question.
I believe the ridiculousness of that Shittah was proven here.
I disagree.
Am I the only one who can’t make out shimen’s last post?
How about text messages?
Gavra, I don’t think zmanim or tzeddakah are examples of people thinking or saying it’s just a chumra.
Modifying to add homburg misses the point. Nobody thinks halachah specifies a specific type or types of hat.
Nobody says it’s assur, so what’s your point?
ZD, what about it? So there’s a difference of opinion.
Gavra, they didn’t literally mean black fedoras. Wearing a hat is a reasonable discussion, but nobody really thinks it can’t be an up hat. 😉
Negiah is probably unfortunately true for many, I don’t know about zmanim and tzeddakah, can you be more specific?
I think the frummer MO people such as Sam and DaMoshe would say that negiah is not sanctioned in any official way, it’s just individuals.
By the way knees should be covered is not chumreh….
He didn’t say knees covered, he said four inches.
many forbid things like Sports, Music taken from Non-jewish sources, Many frown upon non-jewish foods.
Do many say they are literally forbidden, or object on hashkafic grounds?
Lol
Gavra, 4″ is a good example. No pictures is pretty iffy, and black fediras is an outright straw man.
ZD, both straw men. Nobody I know thinks those are halachah (depending on what mode of dress you mean).
many things people say are Halchas are actually Chumras or hashkafas
For example?
And vice versa.
For example?
Tuition
I should have started with the difference between “are” and “our” (from the marvelous thread “Is all the kvetching are own fault?” – which makes me gag not kvetch)
I’m sure that was intentional and that the effect was desired.
Lots of people with issues are married.
Why don’t you read my posts? I told you years ago that I read your posts, but I disagree with them.
You are saying that what Boaz did should be replicated. I am showing you from the gemara that you’re wrong.
Please don’t answer until you read my post!
That’s a good point.
I know quite a few people whose email address is shared (ex: [email protected]). When there’s an expectation that the spouse has access to the account, it’s fine.
I wouldn’t say there’s absolutely no such thing, but based on not having what to talk about, or not being comfortable, I think it’s a mistake to not give it another chance.
I agree that having any “system” can have negative consequences for those outside the system, but overall, despite some silly (maybe that’s an understatement) cultural things, as I said, the kollel system has raised the bar for everyone.
I think if someone’s approach to learning is the same (I know a bunch of people who work but are in the beis medrash with chavrusas or learning themselves for hours a day, and Sundays and work holidays for longer) the kids will be just as well off. Those people would love to learn 12-14 hours every day, but can’t because they need to support their families. Shouldn’t everyone want to?
If anyone had more to add to the answers already given to the OP, I’m sure they could have.
Everyone uses that as a reason that shidduchim should just go on and on and on- because it “might” work out.
Maybe they’re right. Anyhow, I didn’t take it that far, I only discussed a second date.
“we had nothing to talk about and sat there in awkward silence for two hours.”
Some of those have also worked out.
And you ignored my point that every time I said no after one date, the boy did, as well.
So, he also made a mistake to say no after one date.
I just don’t see why it’s necessary to make a “better” Torah home.
Forget necessary – is it better?
and as we’ve established, the side effects of that system are pernicious.
Speak for yourself; I never established that.
What about the main effects? What are they?
so is it your opinion that people who learn in kollel are frummer and better Yidden with better middos than people that don’t? It sounds like it.
It is absolutely my opinion and observation that people who learn more, kollel or otherwise, are on the whole (sure, with too many exceptions) bigger b’nei Torah, with all that encompasses. It so happens that the way our society is structured, there’s more opportunity to learn while in kollel, but it’s the learning itself which is the cause.
I don’t think it’s any kind of chiddush that learning Torah has a positive effect on a person or on his family.
Excellence, here is a translation (from R’ M. Broyde) I found of part of that teshuvah:
[hearing the] shofar and [waving the] lulav and recite blessings [on these performances]
However, it is obvious that this applies only if her soul yearns to perform mitzvot, notwithstanding the fact that she is not commanded to perform them. However, since it is not with this intent but rather stems from her protest against God and His Torah this is not the act of a mitzvah at all; quite the opposite, [it is] a forbidden act, for she commits heresy, thinking it possible for the laws of the Torah to be changed even in a grave matter.
I believe the reason we object to the current songs is because of the musical style.
He calls them ?????? ?????. What does Rav Schachter call them?
Which part of my one word answer did you have trouble understanding?
The part which doesn’t fit his agenda.
