ZD:
For you to have a tayna, you would need to know that the same organization is advertising that the actual chickens are going to be schechted and given to tzeddaka, yet the default is to throw them way. If it’s either not the same organization, or they try to give away the kosher chickens and the ones you saw discarded were the neveilos and treifos, then there is no fraud going on.
Saying there are more efficient uses of tzeddakah money is misguided, when, as I said, the tzeddakah aspect is not the main thrust of kapparos.
Flatbusher, are you a master of Chassidus and Kabbalah that you can say that with such authority?
The fact that it doesn’t completely absolve one of his sins is undisputed, but to therefore claim it has no utility whatsoever is an unfounded stretch.
If I had to put a rational spin on it, I would say that the fact that we acknowledge that we deserve the chicken’s fate is itself a form of viduy and brings hirhurei teshuvah. I wouldn’t claim to know what deeper meaning it has, but won’t deny such a possibility out of ignorance.
Why would we make up our own definition of tzaar baalei chaim when there already are halachic parameters for it?
ZD, it says nefesh tachas nefesh right there in the machzor. Tzeddakah is a beautiful add on, and has become a part of the minhag, but who says the profits are not going to tzeddakah?
ZD, the point of kapparos isn’t tzeddakah. The point is nefesh tachas nefesh.
How do you know where the profits from the kapparos went to, and how do you know that the tzedakah you gave to is run by scrupulous people?
I think next year for the seudah hamafsekes I’m going to eat money instead of chicken.
Oh, you think it’s normal for people to look away?
One should ask a Rav before he decides to smoke.
I don’t think it’s any of my business if the Rav decides to smoke.
Mazel tov, such nice news! May you build a bayis ne’eman b’Yisroel, and produce doros who are a nachas to yourselves, klal Yisroel, and of course to Hashem.
I apologize for probably giving you that good reason.
More multiple births are occurring (for the reasons stated in this thread). Therefore, more neshamos have to come down (or be created) for these extra children.
Or perhaps the opposite – more neshamos had to come down so that Moshiach can come, therefore, Hashem arranged, through His sh’lichim the researchers and doctors, for more twins to be born.
PBA: Anti-Torah people saying stupid things is not a reason to do things that are potentially problematic.
One word rebuttal: cholent.
How you store them after? They’re dead. You chuck em in a bin.
Boy, you must swing those chickens very hard. With most people, they don’t die until they’re schechted.
I wouldn’t hold my breath on K9.
You can try Mobicip or Kids Safe Browser. They work similarly to how K9 worked in that they are their own browsers with built in filtering.
Again, they are not foolproof, but if you’re just looking for a K9 equivalent, one of them might work for you.
I think you should call TAG for a recommendation. They have dealt with more phones than anyone here.
I think it will depend on how tech savvy you are, and how much of a deterrent is needed (sorry, that’s partly hashkafic 🙂 ). There are ways around filters, and I’m told that that the only one(s) that are reasonably difficult to get around are not free.
Squeak, ??? ??? ??? ????.
Let us know when something comes up that hasn’t been discussed.
No, they’re not married yet.
I agree, but I’ll change the terminology a bit. There is no schar, as far as I know, for not committing an aveirah for which one has no desire or opportunity.
A mitzvah, however (meaning a “kum va’aseh” – positive action) does bring schar even if it’s enjoyable. Oneg Shabbos comes to mind as an example.
My schedule was 9:35-1:15; 2:45-6:30; 7:30-10:45.
Which yeshiva has Shachris at 9:35?
Why don’t the chosson and kallah have classes together?
Lack of tznius.
Kids often take moving to any new location very hard, and when we’re dealing with a radically different culture, it can be very emotionally unsettling and unhealthy.
Also, Joseph is right, because being emotionally unhealthy is bad for Yiddishkeit.
Why, thank you!
TLIK, boys who like technology and don’t come to minyan on time shouldn’t learn?
Oh, Bon Appetit.
However, neither ??? nor ?? ?? are the first and last letters of the ????, so see previous post.
Also, ??? is ??????? ?? ??.
Just proves popa’s right about seminary.
Probably from seminary.
Whether or not one’s choices can actually have a negative impact on another is a machlokes.
The commonly assumed m’halach is that it cannot.
However, the Or Hachaim Hakadosh (on the brothers throwing Yosef into the bor) seems to say otherwise.
The second reason that the two teachers should speak, is because I’ve heard of quite a few cases where the chosson is taught one thing and the kallah is taught something else which causes unnecessary tension and confusion. What do you think?
I agree that it’s an issue. I don’t have a solution.
The shidduch crisis is because choosanim are too choosy.
How are you defining “the shidduch crisis”?
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/defining-the-shidduch-crisis
Correct, feivel. Look at it like defensive driving. If you know someone is about to run a red light, you stop at the intersection even though it’s your right of way.
Who said you have to forgive those who don’t want you to?
The Ramban seems to say it’s midas chassidus (depending on what you mean by “don’t want you to”).

The reason, simply, is because the Torah doesn’t want us to carry sinah in our hearts.
The meforshim say different pshatim in this difficult Rambam, but that is the simple understanding.
Which Yom Zeh M’chubad?
Perhaps it came from there. Perhaps from Kiddush Levanah.
By swinging a chicken over his head.
Apparently, in the times of the Gemara, they said shalom alecha.

Since it’s a more modern innovation, it might very well be borrowed from other cultures.
To be honest, I “edited” it myself.
Bump?
Bump?
Can someone be crucified on behalf of someone else?
I volunteer edited to be crucified for all of us.
