Abba_S, do you think your advice applies to everyone, or perhaps would you agree that there are some people who already budget well, yet don’t have extra money to put away, and don’t have any offers or reasonable possibilities for a better paying job?
He meant until Rabeinu Tam zman.
I volunteer Mashiach Agent to do TESHUVA for all of us.
Or if they’re tzedukim.
FTFY
I buy a lot of Kirkland Signature (Costco’s store brand) items, and they have monthly coupons, and I try to stock up on those items (to the extent they allow).
I shop at Costco and I think I save, but it really depends on one’s shopping habits and self discipline to not buy what isn’t really needed, which seems to be a bigger temptation at Costco than other stores.
Amazon doesn’t take cash.
ZD, and Amazon Prime Now account# and password. 🙂
I don’t think the poskim are mattir for that case.
There’s always a chance and we should never give up on anyone, but I don’t think they consider that enough to be mattir.
Therefore?
Ubiquitin, the term is being used in more than one way in this thread e.g. http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/seuda-at-a-bris#post-581367.

FWIW, bacon isn’t fleishig.
Technically, chicken isn’t fleishig either. What’s your point?
Chicken is assur mid’rabbonon with milk, and, mid’rabbonon it is assur go have milk within six hours (according to most common minhag) of chicken. It is “technically” fleishig.
Chazzer is assur, but basar b’chalav is not a factor, so it is not “fleishig” in the way we use the term.
Say Sam made a bris and served what popa thought was lamb bacon but then he found out it was chazzer bacon. When we got home, I could serve him his coffee with cow’s milk, no need for soy milk.
FWIW, bacon isn’t fleishig.
It’s an investment. Figure out what the interest is, and if you could get a better return elsewhere. If you can (factoring in what term life would cost), it’s not worth it.
I’m told you can do better than whole life, but do your own research.
I am, but I figured it out when we got home and you poured soy milk into your coffee.
Of course it is a seudas mitzvah and should be treated as such. The two issues are that people don’t like to eat fleishigs in the morning (perhaps women more so than men?) and that finances are also a consideration.
I haven’t seen a seudah with both milchigs and fleishigs (at least not intentionally), and think it’s a very bad idea.
So did that rebbi who took a special interest do something wrong by playing favorites?
On a scale of one to ten, how offended would you be?

Excellence, taking too long is tircha d’tziburah, as Wolf pointed out. Also, the aveilim (should) want as many people responding as possible, and all saying Kaddish together is the best way to achieve this.
Nfgo3, just because nobody wants to speak out the unspeakable, doesn’t mean it’s not what people are afraid of.

Organic bamboo parasol.
No, a hat, but you have the right idea. Parasol better than aeresol.
I use natural sunscreen.
I explained that halacha doesn’t care about what we wash our bodies with
That’s not an absolute.
The fallacy of this thread is the assumption that just because something has a Hechsher means that someone thinks it needs a Hechsher.
Yes. Similar to the fallacy in the sunglasses thread.

Unless the ADA is funded by the fast food industry.
Stam, the same would apply to the pharmaceutical industry, even if they actually controlled the medical schools.
You want to believe what you want to believe, but your selective skepticism and accusations of conflict of interest are completely illogical; in fact, backwards.
Sam, is it really worth arguing with someone who thinks selling medications is a bias but selling vitamins isn’t?
I agreed that what you quoted was a small part of an article found on the website of the COR titled “Does it really need to be kosher certified”.
He also sells vitamins etc…If i opened up a nutrition clinic i would also. If you have to take fish oil for ex., why should the pharmacy make the profit, let me make it. I see nothing wrong with that. Gerson has been around for a long time and if people are still going to them, that tells me that there is something to it (especially since most of what they say makes sense even to a lay person like myself). Again, there is nothing wrong with them making a business out of it. But, admittedly, i hear their fees are exorbitant.
You do realize that with that paragraph you’ve undermined your entire argument, don’t you?
I agree with APY.
Which Samsung? Which iPhone?
NDG, maskim.
APY, I’ve seen it, but didn’t speak to any of the signatories to verify. Two of them are known to be skeptical about vaccines, so their saying not go hold a kid out of yeshiva is poshut.
The question is what do pro-vaccine poskim hold about yeshiva admission.
JS, that’s a wonderful perspective. Wolf’s issue is with pace, though.
But to state that the internet is to blame for kids going OTD when it is known to anyone in the field that 7-9 of every 10 OTD kids has been sexually abused is just a very convinient way for us to wash our hands of a very serious problem.

I think you and Rabbi Dr. Berman are speaking about two different demographics.
It is also a complete digression of the topic of this thread.
What more is there to say about the non issur of wearing sunglasses? 🙂
You make excellent points about chumras.
Old man, he does a good job identifying a problem, not such a good job with solutions. As you say, he has a defeatist attitude towards the exposure he blames otd on. L’maaseh, in homes without internet exposure (of the type he’s referring) there are fewer such tragedies, so I think he’s too quick to dismiss insulation.
ZD, you’re right, the causes in different types of homes are different. Obviously, in a home without internet, if a kid is dissatisfied with frumkeit and disregards his family’s wishes and starts spending time online, it’s very narrow minded to blame his problems on the internet. True, the internet might make things worse, but the key question might be what caused his dissatisfaction to begin with (on that we disagree. You say hats and sunglasses and perhaps stickers on Twizzlers; I say those are scapegoats for a deeper issue, as we’ve discussed).
But, Rabbi Berman’s theory is about homes where internet is accepted, and he would seem to feel that the widespread drop in religious observance, even amongst non Jews, is caused by internet.
The fact that kids from limited internet exposure homes do sometimes leave doesn’t disprove his theory, which is speaking to a much broader demographic.
I suppose if kids from those homes left frumkeit with the same frequency, that would challenge his theory, but it is widely believed that the percentages aren’t close.
Incidentally, have you read the article titled “Why Are Young People Leaving Religion?” by Rabbi Dr. Joshua Berman on the OU website?
He looks at the issue of kids leaving Yiddishkeit as part of a phenomenon occurring in other religions as well. He pretty much blames it on the internet.
I don’t think the camps should be playing Lipa.
Camp is over for a week already. Your kid should have gotten over losing color war by now. 🙂
Perhaps he can’t.
As long as he’s not slow, I think he should say Kaddish at a normal pace and the other aveilim keep to his pace. This may be where the shul’s rav gets involved.
I was simply answering ZD’s question as I understood it.
Besides, what someone says is not necessarily their perspective; it’s the perspective they want to project.
What Dr. Eilenberg says is pretty relevant considering the issue is a letter sent to Lakewood chadarim.
(Not as relevant in the greater scheme of things.)
NDG, would you like to compare how many patients Dr. Shanik has seen in his life with how many seen by Dr. Eilenberg?
The bottom line, though, is what Syag said, that who gets autism (as well as all conditions and diseases l”a) is decided by the RBS”O. We need to do our normal hishtadlus, but bucking the widely conventional medical wisdom based on anecdotes and conspiracy theories is not normal hishtadlus.
Again, this is not about them being right, this is what some of them say.
I wasn’t addressing what they say. I’m sure you’re right that many do blame it on chumras.
I once wrote a fairly long post on this, but I don’t have time to find it now.
I’ve never met any.
There are plenty of people who have left Yiddishkeit l”a because in their homes they only saw Yiddishkeit as a bunch of rules, due to poor chinuch and poor role modelling. It makes no difference if those rules are halacha or chumra. In fact if someone, on his own (not merely due to community pressure) takes on chumras, he shows his children that Yiddishkeit is not a burden to him, but something he cherishes.
Stam, as far as those graphs, there was a huge outbreak in the early fifties, so the downward trend toward the typical 20,000 cases per year would be expected, but it very quickly approached zero, which didn’t happen with other diseases until those vaccines were distributed.
Lol squeak
From the government website:
__________
If you look at the history of any vaccine-preventable disease, you will virtually always see that the number of cases of disease starts to drop when a vaccine is licensed.
__________
No. But the Chareidi community has failed to recognize that there are too many of those in their community and that the constant addition of Chumros has bred that attitude in far too many people.
In other words, you think yes.
Do the actions of these few reshaim somehow represent anything more than their own warped minds and hearts?
