They should. If the owner doesn’t know better, perhaps that’s not someone I should be buying prepared foods from.
Not the girl? I was wondering if popa was the protagonist.
like things about kermit the frog?
Or Cecil the Lion.
If so, may I suggest that he puts out a new Yad Moshe with all nine chalakim included?
So don’t plug it into your internet connection.
Gavra, what do you have against PR people?
This is not hypothetical. It happens all the time, just that they’re professionals, so they find things more interesting than those to report.
or anyone else
I don’t blame Friedlander or anyone else for not wanting to meet with this OTD guy whose sole motivation is to malign the frum community.
Who was the protagonist?
No
I’m moichel you.
Then it probably wasn’t the last, just the most recent.
Everything is chukas akum unless proven otherwise.
A quick search tells me that the Boox uses e-ink, and will therefore have the same mechikas hasheim issue as the Nook.
The last funeral someone attends is usually their own. (Don’t say this on a date.)
There is an akirah and hanachah.
Oh, sorry, I didn’t realize you were being funny. It’s been a while.
Cuz I know it’s expensive, i mean i haven’t been able to afford it and I have three cars.
You’d be able to afford it if you’d sell one of your cars. 🙂
That’s true.
I’m sorry to hear that.
The sensors apparently turn on lights in the hallways, so are actually a problem.
There are also sensors which turn on the lights in the stairwells, which might explain why a Shabbos elevator would be requested. Using a Shabbos elevator is not simple either.
Very little has enhanced my Yiddishkeit as much as Spiderman.
I’m sorry to hear that.
Charlie, there’s no object being sold. See M”B 306, 33.

I don’t think anyone said anything like that.
The sensor issue should be okay b’dieved. The question here is, can you use a mechanical key as an alternative? If not, it’s a problem, unless there’s a non Jewish doorman (although even then, it’s still not so poshut). Otherwise, you have to wait for a non Jew to walk through and follow him.
Depends on the car.
Why an interfaith prayer service? Make a joint protest rally.
I knew a boy named Sue. Sure, he was picked on as a child, but he used it to his advantage when he became a personal injury attorney.
I think you’re assuming some level of ruach hakodesh which he may or may not have.
True, what others hold doesn’t affect what he holds. That wasn’t my point.
I don’t think R’ Chaim asks if she was born on Shabbos Shirah and makes an exception in that case. He holds, for some reason, that it’s not a name.
It’s very difficult to understand, because pashtus, there’s no such thing as a name not being a name; if this is what the father named her, even if nobody ever gave that name previously, it should be considered a name. This is how names in Tanach originated, and nobody I’ve spoken to has a mekor for an end date for new names. I don’t know of anyone else who holds this way.
Mw13: I would imagine that this was the basis for R’ Dovid Feinstein’s psak as well.
Yes, that was my understanding, as I heard from the rav of the shul. I agree with your assessment of the issue.
By the way, Joseph, R’ Chaim holds Lior is not a name…
It’s not just Shira.
Mw13, I heard #3.
I was in a shul once when a Shira’s name was changed, based on R’ Chaim’s say so. The rav of the shul was asked if they should follow. He asked R’ Dovid Feinstein, who said to listen to R’ Chaim.
So I would suggest to anyone whose name is Shira and wants to keep it, not to tell it to R’ Chaim.
Similarly, many clean shaven men go to R’ Chaim only after not shaving for several days, so he shouldn’t tell them to grow a beard, and men with payos behind their ears take them out. I would probably take off my wristwatch as well.
The name Chaim is in Rishonim, by the way.
Mw 13, what were the three?
I never said to not put filters on your child’s internet.
I assumed that, but once the child has the device, it’s often easily broken through, so not having the device is safer.
There is no single approach in the “yeshivish community”, so you’d have to be more specific in your criticism.
Either as I posted above, or, perhaps, the second and sixth notes of the sol-fa musical scale.
Frumnotyeshivish, I disagree. I think you are the one being extreme.
It is true that if someone is motivated enough, they can get whatever access they want, and proper chinuch is always necessary, so that there’s motivation to avoid issur.
But, there’s a yetzer hora, and I think (certainly hope) you would agree that giving a kid unfiltered access is a bad idea.
So, crazybrit wants to draw the line earlier, and thinks a kid shouldn’t have a device which can be fiddled with to get access. That’s a very reasonable place to draw the line, and although you may choose to draw the line elsewhere, calling that panic and extreme is wrong.
Sam, sure, there are nizkei mamon involved, but isn’t the very fact that a particular animal is so beloved indicative of confused priorities?
Apushatayid, not everyone is capable of that.
CA, no. I’m saying that in a year like this, not only is the fast nidche, so is the status of moed and the din regarding Tachanun/Av Harachamim nidche.
Hillel wasn’t let into the beis midrash because he couldn’t afford the fee.
As others have pointed out, putting it together costs money. There are also plenty of free shiurim, so it’s not as if they’re shutting you out of all learning.
Something to think about: we know how valuable Torah is – ???? ??? ???????. Why do we hesitate to spend money, and complain when people charge, for something so important? We wouldn’t say the same about paying for food, clothing, and housing, would we?
To answer the first question, if we are using the churban to motivate us to do teshuvah, we need to be mis’abel on what we lost so that we desperately want it back, and will do what we need to in order to get it back. This is not to disagree with what others have said that aveilus is itself the avodah, but to point out that they work together.
To answer the second question (which I had thought of yesterday as well when we said Av Harachamim), the status and dinim of moed are nidcheh to today as well.
??? ?????? ??? ?? ?? ????, ?? ??? ???? ????? ?????? ????? ??? ?? ???? ??? ?????, ????? ??? ??? ??????? ???’, ???? ?? ?? ????? ???????? ???? ???? ????… ?????? ???? ??? ???? ?’?
It is worth looking at the footnotes in R’ Simcha Bunim Cohen’s sefer on the Three Weeks (pg. 91) where he brings b’shem R’ Shach that we don’t find an avel looking for a heter to wash, and R’ Cohen asserts that he means like R’ Shlomo Zalman, and that therefore, the question someone asked on R’ Shach (similar to Sam) that we don’t pasken from emotion, is “???? ????”.
So use deodorant and Purell. Wash up a bit more if you still need to. But you don’t need to find loopholes around the dinim of aveilus.
Feivel, thank you. Of course being machmjr and being meikil aren’t the same. I don’t know what Sam is thinking.
Mdd, no one is exhorting anyone to engage in general prishus. As has been mentioned, the thrust of the responses to the OP (??????) is to defend those who follow the ikkar din, and don’t shower. This is one particular area, aveilus for the churban, which is being discussed, and as R’ Shlomo Zalman says (based on a gemara in Taanis, ???? ??? ??? ???????.
The only one who mentioned not asking a shailah was you Sam, and it still has nothing to do with OO.
Sam, as anon correctly points out, the discussion started with demeaning people who keep the din k’pshuto.
Also, telling people that for a particular inyan, it is proper to go lifnim m’shuras hadin (in this case, not to look for kulas) doesn’t change the din. The din remains that there’s a kula to shower (under certain conditions), though it may be proper to be machmir.
