    I assume you’re not looking for a chassidish one

    You are also assuming he’s a girl.

    Why can’t you ask your posek?

    Whether or not taking a vitamin pill is considered achilah is a shailah, and if you can find one with a hechsher, that’s definitely better. If not, it depends on the reason the vitamin is needed, and how effective it is.

    Frankly, it also depends on who you ask.

    The parents have a lot more input into high school than seminary, and 8th graders have less internet access than 12th graders.

    Avram in MD, to put it perhaps more simply: There is no religious objection to taking out the garbage. There is profound religious objection to joining tzahal.

    To further illustrate the quantity flaw in the analogy, I would suggest a more accurate one: You want to have Yehuda take a job in a grocery store for eight hours a day to contribute to the family income. Share the burden.

    LC, to answer your question, I’d like to first rephrase it. You wrote:”I asked if that is so, why was it set up one way in EY ( on same day as SA ) and as a separate day in Chutz learetz?”

    It’s not a separate day, it is the second day of Shmini Atzeres. It must perforce be different than E.Y. which only has one day, so if Simchas Torah was kept on the fist day in Chu”l, one could ask why that way.

    Still, why it’s on the first day rather than the second is a fair question.

    The ???? ??????? addresses this, and says it really should have been on Rosh Hashanah, but we don’t want the Satan to figure out when R”H is based on the parshiyos, and once it’s pushed off, we push it off until the end of the Yomim Tovim so as not to have a hefsek of the Yom Tom leining between the end and restart of the regular seder of reading the parshiyos.

    (can leave out at Pesach, if that’s your minhag)

    Now all the antisemites are going to start disparaging the holy minhag of not eating gebrokts! This was a perfectly lite thread, and now look what you’ve done with your inflammatory comment, you’ve turned it into a fight about preserving mesorah!

    I don’t believe it to be a sign of disrespect or lack of emunah to seek the reasons why, rather than accept a because I said so answer.

    No, of course not, ???? ??? ????? ??? ?????.

    Of course, l’maaseh we accept a “because I said so” answer, but not derech limud.

    I think LF is right that the gezeirah is on the people of (iow people who dwell in) chu”l rather than on the place (see ???? ???? ?”?). Query why that is so; as I recall, they were concerned that upon return, they will continue to keep one day, but I don’t remember where I saw that.

    Interesting question re: Simchas Torah. I’ll bl”n try to look around and try to find something. Perhaps I’ll be able to atone for my unwarranted insult (sorry again).

    Syag, I hear you.

    I do want to point out that while there are always answers, it’s impossible to prove that, because we don’t always know the answers.

    The Chofetz Chaim famously said that for someone with emunah, there are no questions, and for someone r”l without, there are no answers (not to say that this is an emunah issue to that degree).

    Lesschumras, if I misjudged your intentions, I apologize.

    We have 2-day Yomim Tovim so that we will be used to keeping

    2 days when Moshiach comes and kiddush hachodesh is

    once again performed by Beis Din. However, we may be able to communicate Beis Din’s decisions more quickly now.

    That’s the Chasam Sofer SDD linked, but it doesn’t answer for modern communication (except for R”H which is anyhow kept for two days in E.Y. as well).

    For that, perhaps Sam’s point is helpful, although I don’t necessarily think we overturn minhagim based on changing circumstances either.

    mammele – perhaps many got it but don’t consider jokes aimed at people to be worth noting. perhaps.

    I don’t see how that has to be a joke aimed at a person or people, unless you’re judging on previous posts. There are many jokes based on typos or other mistakes. They’re not necessarily personal.

    I happened to get the joke, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who doesn’t comment on every joke appearing on the CR.

    it was a fair question

    It was. The way it was asked, though, implied that if you don’t understand something, you don’t have to keep it, and it was that dangerous implication that I was objecting to.

    Why should it continue? I’ve never understood why a halacha created for chutz laaretz morphed into a minhag that had to be followed when visiting Israel, where there wasn’t and isn’t, a sfaika deyoma

    We don’t change dinim (or even minhagim) just because you don’t understand them.

    It’s 3.1415094339 according to the kri/ksiv.

    So after adjusting for Sam’s typo, it’s 3+.

    Close enough so that it would probably work for any architectural application.

    Funny thing is , I think in one of the videos someone actually suggested just that to serve someone Gefilte Fish and they will be inspired.

    If you dont like a particular food, serving it to them is not a positive experience.

    They might refer to gefilte fish as “albino meatloaf”.
