Even if the money in the home was ill gotten?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantSo why are they neglected?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantDon’t be afraid. It’ll be alright.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantITYS
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThe proof that chazzanut is based on opera is that Yossele Rosenblatt was offered $1m to sing in the Chicago opera. He turned it down because of kol isha.
So in other words, no proof?
Of course it’s a raya. If chazzanus wasn’t based on opera, his voice wouldn’t start sounding female.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIs morality confined to bein adam l’chaveiro, or does it include being adam l’Makom?
Is it moral for a non Jew to lend money with interest, but immoral for a Jew?
IOW, define morality.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThis is what I’m referring to:
http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/kosher-switch/page/4#post-567179
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantNot simple at all. As I posted in the KosherSwitch thread, some very big poskim (R’ Chaim Ozer, Chazon Ish, R’ Moshe Feinstein R’ Elyashiv) hold that a using a device which was designed for the purpose of performing a melachah is considered a direct act.
I believe this is why R’ Belsky wrote that using the KosherSwitch would be an issur d’Oraisa.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantYes, still.
Go back again and read what feivel wrote with an open mind, and read what Syag, Avram, and I have written, and how we are all on the same page, while you’re not.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIt seems that my shortening of Feivel’s comment…
Which you continue to grossly mischaracterize.
☕ DaasYochid ☕Participanti’m wondering is ubequitin a doctor?
reason i’m asking is because no one likes to be told that they secretly are evil
It seems that he still hasn’t absorbed that he is not being told that he is (secretly or otherwise) evil.
I don’t know if he’s a doctor (or even if he’s a he), but he does seem to come from a medical professional’s perspective.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI forgot whether I like it or not (good thing nobody answered before me; this is the fifth post).
June 2, 2015 1:09 pm at 1:09 pm in reply to: schools or Orgaization dinners & Parlor meetings #1117401☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantInteresting question. I believe the Chofetz Chaim deals with the idea, and isn’t happy about the tzibbur losing its zechus. L’maaseh, I can’t see any mossad turning it down.
Are we talking about a promise to support, or money in the bank? That would make a big difference.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI just want a very specific kind of guy and I find that a certain kind of guy in a Klei Kodesh field is probably my best bet.
Welcome to the real world.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIs this the one about his baby being born?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantDo you like olive dip?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI wonder if golfer wants to become a professional goofus.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantSo you’re both going to resort to nitpicking?
It is so blatantly obvious that life has become cheap l”a, but go ahead, keep burying your heads in the sand if you wish, and instead make the issue into the lomdus of fetal life and whether we do or don’t pasken like R’ Moshe (which incidentally, might be true, but I brought that teshuvah to show that R’ Moshe’s shittah was inadvertantly referred to as catholic r”l).
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWait, ca, doesn’t your wife read the cr?
Boy, are you in trouble.
☕ DaasYochid ☕Participanthttp://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=921&st=&pgnum=291&hilite=
Suddenly, they’re big lamdonim?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantNow quick – get married before the grime starts building up again.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWelcome to the real world.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI don’t think they are related.
I think that’s ridiculous. They’re okay with killing babies, but not old people? Come on, be reasonable.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI was saying most nurses were caring
Most nurses come to work to make money, just like the rest of us.
The two are in no way mutually exclusive.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIt may also be cold feet. Sitting behind our screens, we have absolutely no idea.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantUbiqutin, no, and I never said there aren’t cases where the right thing is done, or in which the doctors are more “machmir” then the rav.
I will make an observation and state my opinion on it, I’m curious as to your opinion:
The acceptance of the abortion of unwanted babies has coincided with the trend towards euthenasia and less aggressive life saving measures for end of life patients. They are all correlated.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI thought that the Sheva Brachos is by the girl’s side?
Perhaps where Syag lives, the minhag is to make sheva brachos for a week?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantMy opinion is based on a lot more than one man’s experience; that’s an example, but more importantly, you are still misunderstanding my point. I am not saying that there is no sense of morality in the medical establishment, I am saying that it has been corrupted. I should also be clear that I am not referring exclusively to medical practitioners, I am referringvto the entire way medicine (especially end of life situations) is practiced, which includes decisions made by the patient and the family.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIt’s rounded (shaped like a sickle), it’s got bristles on either side, and a soft cloth in the middle.
☕ DaasYochid ☕Participant☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantBen Barber?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantSomeone I know went out quite a few times with hardly a word passing between them. They were advised to continue, and eventually they were as to open up.
They are both very normal, though their initial “chemistry” seemed to bring out the shyness in both.
They are now b”H happily married and raising a beautiful family.
So, no, awkwardness and shyness doesn’t have to be a red flag. In American yeshivish culture, in such a situation, they either end it there, or agree to keep trying for longer.
In Israeli chareidi culture, perhaps it’s never allowed to go that far. I may not agree with or fully understand that approach, but it’s not a huge red flag to me, and I don’t know that there’s any shidduch crisis or sholom bayis crisis in that community any more than any other community.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantSam, I’m still waiting for you to tell me where the Tzitz Eliezer is.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantDY
I addressed that above.
How? The overall values the medical establishment holds of are corrupt, even if not all applications are necessarily inherently evil or even incorrect.
☕ DaasYochid ☕Participant5) Make the wedding in a different city. Might have a similar effect as #4.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWell, the Gra really did hold that way.
Where does the Gra say to accept anonymous advice on the internet rather than speak to a trusted rav, mentor, or family member?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI eat certain types of treif food, and try to take mussar from it. For example, I eat chasidah, and try to take only the positive attributes of chesed.
Certain types of treif food have no redeeming value, so those, I stay away from.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIf she stays that way throughout the marriage, they should be fine.
On a more serious note, what scares me here is the lack of parental input. I would be terrified if my kids got married this way, but people do it, based on solid research and brief meetings. Many chassidim have a half hour meeting, and mazel tov. If there’s solid research here, and she’s just shy, this might not be any worse.
My question for you is, what input do you have? If none, I would say you can only do harm by voicing your qualms.
May 31, 2015 12:40 pm at 12:40 pm in reply to: Difference between doing teshuva in old age vs youth #1084957☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantTo answer the first question, he would have sixty years’ fewer mitzvos. If he does complete teshuvah me’iahavah, his aveiros turn to zechuyos, but I still don’t know if that’s equivalent.
As an aside, a life dedicated to the pursuit of decadence is not one of tranquility.
The answer to your second question is that it’s middah k’negged middah. His focus was olam hazeh, so his reward is here.
May 31, 2015 5:33 am at 5:33 am in reply to: Why can't we have tiny robots that fill cavities in teeth painlessly? #1085312☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWhy, how big are the robots now?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI guess not.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI don’t think there have really been any gedolim that have changed on this.
I disagree. I think Litvishe gedolim came to the realization that Chassidus has withstood the test of time.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantDY, that depends on what you consider appropriate.
No, it depends on what Hashem considers appropriate. It, does not, though, depend exclusively on how the person listening thinks his or her neshomoh is affected or how much closer or further he or she thinks he or she is to or from Hashem.
You might want to read “Through Music and Song: Music from a Torah Perspective” by Rabbi Elysha Sandler.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantYes, for example one pshat is that nobody was trying to show the others up.
I was poking fun of myself, not ch”v the Torah.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantYeah, the drunk baal korei said amen twice where I davened as well.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI agree they cant be equated, since they ARE the EXACT cases I am discussing.
Then we’re discussing two different things, because there’s a systemic problem which is a whole lot more prevalent than the rare, if not non existent cases you are referring to.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWhat makes it evil?
(Only speaking for myself – ) The point isn’t whether or not it’s evil, it’s that the root of the moral decay which has led to the devaluing of human life is evil.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI assume it was removed due to privacy issues.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantGavra, he seems to be learning that the Gemara is only calling someone a rasha if he could have gone a different way and he looks.
The Rogatchover addresses the Rambam’s omission.
http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=20216&st=&pgnum=150&hilite=
I need to be ???? to see how he is answering.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantSorry, I meant quotation marks.
