Anyone can participate, and I think it’s not run by frum people. I don’t know why there shouldn’t at least be a question.
Thinking out loud, it depends on where it’s grown, not eaten.
There may be minhag hamakom in Eretz Yisroel not to rely on the lenient opinions relied upon in America and Europe, but that’s a different matter.
As far as powdered milk, many poskim discussed it. Famously, Rav Tzvi Pesach Frank was mattir, and interestingly, he was actually referring to milk powder which came from the US.
The Chazon Ish argues on the powdered milk Kula (although was mattir based on the sevara of the Pri Chodosh). I’ve seen a couple of sources that the Chazon Ish was only mattir under very difficult circumstances.
Yes, we all know there are some well known roshei yeshivos whose fathers and or grandfathers were gedolim, but it’s by no means exclusive.
There are some gedolim who don’t have famous sons, and some famous roshei yeshivos whose fathers and grandfathers were not so we’ll known.
I don’t know about the others, but R’ Dovid Feinstein zt”l (Rav Moshe’s father) was huge.
To play devil’s advocate, it’s much harder to find in the last few decades. But you’re right, there are definitely well known gedolim whose fathers were not.
It’s not exclusively true, although it is common. And it’s not surprising that a gadol b’Torah would be a gadol b’chinuch too, or that someone who grew up surrounded by gadlus should be more likely to become a gadol.
Why lehavdil?
If anyone would know, it would be you.
it’s kind of silly to pretend it’s not true
What’s silly is to pretend that anyone claims yichus isn’t a factor at all.
Except every Chassidishe Rebbe ever. I don’t think it would be totally inaccurate to say the yeshivish world is also moving more towards being yichis-based.
That’s a gross exaggeration for chassidim, and an even grosser one for roshei yeshivos.
Not that yichus doesn’t have an impact, but there are plenty of cases where the son isn’t worthy and therefore doesn’t take over, and by roshei yeshivos, even where they do take over, that doesn’t mean they are considered a gadol. That has to be earned.
As I pointed out, though you could argue that the above isn’t neccesarily true, since there is no way to know how a real popular vote would have gone, as the campaigns would be different, and perhaps more people who feel their votes don’t count, like NY republicans, would vote but that’s is not what you said
I, however, did say that, and it’s a compelling argument to not care about the popular vote.
Alabama, Alaska, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi
The biggest arguments against caring about who won the popular vote are:
1) That’s not out system
2) Since it’s not our system, the candidates aren’t trying to win the popular election, and projecting who would win a popular election by counting votes in an electoral college election is not valid.Again my point is in the battle for winning the most diverse cross section of opinions in the country, which is sort of the rationale behind the electoral college, trump won.
No, your point was that aside from NY and CA, Trump won the popular vote. Removing them is as silly as removing the biggest red states, where they’d vote for a pickle if it had an “R” next to it.
Against women’s suffrage
Being a fool is not a contradiction to being a genius.
Kehilas Beis Sholom is in Clifton, not Passaic.
Based on what you wrote i have a hypothetical question:
Suppose i have a ac running all week long . Goes on at different intervals throughout the day/ night via a 24 hour timer. According to reb moshe would i need to disconnect it before shabbos or can i let it run through out the entire week including shabbos.I would think assur according to R’ Moshe.
(Bumped because laskern just mentioned this thread and I don’t remember seeing t2’s question)
Laskern, my answer here was not according to R’ Moshe.
DY, What do you think of putting room temperature food on a cool hot plate which later be turned on with a shabbos clock and will reach yad soledes bo?
Dies the food have liquid in it? What type of hot plate is it?
It’s probably not assur mei’kar hadin either way, but I’ve seen poskim say not to set a coffee maker for Shabbos morning because of zilzul Shabbos, and that may apply here as well.
You’re comparing the frummest Litvaks to chassidim.
I’m comparing not so frum Litvaks to not so frum Lubavichers.
CA, make a new account.
UB, you can tell if someone is blocked because it says “blocked” next their screen name instead of “participant”
YA, this has nothing to do with chassidim vs. non chassidim. The very frum yeshivish don’t read read it the same way the very chassidish Lubavichers don’t read it. And vice versa.
If someone is mekabel shabbos early, can he tell someone who has not, to do something for him?
Assuming the whole tzibbur wasn’t mekabel early, it seems that most poskim are meikil. See שו”ע רס”ג י”ז and מג”א, ט”ז, ומ”ב.
In reality, there are so many great Shabbos afternoon meals that can be served cold, there is no reason to bother with a blech
Yes there is. There is a long standing, universal minhag to have hot food on Shabbos day.
If I am machmir and the person I am invited to as a guest is not, can I eat there?
Yes. See משנה ברורה שי”ח ב that where it’s a מחלוקת, there’s no problem of מעשה שבת which is an איסור דרבנן.
In context, laskern was referring to the congealed fat found on chicken and meat, and it is indeed permitted warm that up, according to some, in some circumstances.
As usual, RGP displays either am ha’aratzus or intentional distortion of the halacha, while insulting those who correctly disagree with him.
I honestly don’t think the mods should allow his posts.
If that’s in the USDA regulations, the biggest companies are violating those regulations, because International Delight and Coffee-Mate don’t say “non-dairy” on them.
Ok folks – NEWS FLASH!
I’m not sure why you have such a low opinion of Chabad that you think it’s newsworthy that some Chabad houses actually keep some halachos. Where’s your Ahavas Yisroel??!!
I haven’t seen even once the ta’ana that they don’t eat seudah shlishis! Why is that?!
Start a new thread
Now you’re being silly. במקום can mean “in the same place as”, as in kiddush b’makom seudah, or “in place of”, as the Mogen Avraham is using it here. To read into the Mogen Avraham that you can be yotzei with divrei Torah is just another of your infamous distortions.
Note that the Kaf Hachayim does not claim to be explaining the Mogen Avraham, just the Rashbi.
He also doesn’t say he did it every week; in fact, he brings the Zohar as the M.A. does, that he only did it on erev Pesach.
In theory, the reason the K.H. ascribes to the Rashbi not eating shalishudis on erev Pesach should apply the whole year, yet he doesn’t claim that he did it the whole year. Presumably, even the Rashbi only relied on the “shvilei d’shmaya” sevara when he couldn’t eat pas.
I totally follow. There are zero sources which allow us to not eat shalishudis.
The Mogen Avraham is not saying we can skip shalishudis. Not even on erev Pesach, since we hold we can be yotzei b’dieved with peiros. He is bringing the Rashbi as an opinion that peiros aren’t sufficient, but isn’t paskening that way for erev Pesach.
So what you quoted as Shulchan Aruch is not in the Shulchan Aruch, not in the Nosei Keilim, and not in any of the mainstream poskim.
Maybe you found some online article which says it, but you haven’t found any real source, let alone in Shulchan Aruch as you claimed.
clearly the Kaf Hachayim applies this Zohar to EVERY seuda shlishis, not just shabbos of erev pessach
Clearly, the Kaf Hachayim says we must actually eat to be mekayem seudah shlishis.
Rashbi also didn’t daven three times a day, but we obviously must.
The מגן אברהם clearly says it was במקום סעודה שלישית, not that he was מקיים it.
Indeed, the 3 seudos are based on the 3 times it says “Hayom” by the mon, yet the 3rd time it says “Hayom Lo”, hence the dispensation for having a seudah without the full requirements of a seuda
Apparently, that’s not the opinion of the Rashbi, who skipped seuda shlishlis on erev Pesach and didn’t substitute peiros.
Thus it appears that according to the Zohar, the obligation to eat the Third Meal can be fulfilled via Torah study.
No it doesn’t. It appears that if you can’t eat seudah shlishis, such as on erev Pesach, you should learn.
if so it may fall under the concept of “ein ldavar sof”
Just because you don’t know where to draw the line doesn’t mean there isn’t one. Hamburgers, hot dogs, and pizza are not Shabbosdik. They’re considered casual fare in general.
or divrei torah (as per shulchan oruch)
Where in S.A. does it say divrei Torah is valid for the third seuda?
They are legally required to label these products “non-dairy”
Did you read that somewhere, or is that just an assumption? I’m pretty sure there are coffee creamers which do not say “non-dairy” on them.
If indeed this was a michshol (I don’t think it is, for a couple of reasons), although the OU couldn’t force a company to change their labels, they could refuse to certify.
I don’t see why they should, though.
What’s the difference between הגהות and ציונים?
they claimed that hagen left the world in charge of the sun and the moon, very different than a tzaddik that Hashem put into the world in indeed to help us connect to Hashem.
So you’re okay with ch”v davening to the sun and moon as a way to connect with Hashem?
RGP, instead of defending Chabad by attacking Litvaks, why don’t you actually defend their actions and hashkafos?
And if you’re going to go with the parallel attack method, they should at least be on target. When the best you can do is make inapt comparisons, it weakens your position.
Chossid, when the best you can do is call someone a hater because of hashkafic challenges, it doesn’t defend your position well.
Meaning that the problem of a memutzah is like quoted above that it’s asking something else not Hashem
That’s not what you said earlier. “Asking” someone else and “davening to” someone else are synonymous. It’s called avoda zara.
since the tzaddik is so connected and nullified to Hashem connecting to the tzaddik connects u to Hashem directly
The early ovdei avoda zara rationalized that way about the son and the moon.
Joseph, sorry you don’t think asking sensitive personal questions isn’t mussar-worthy.
Joseph, I’m sorry you haven’t accepted the mussar you were given.
The live callers are the greatest challenge.
I hang up on them too.
I looked up that Sicha and what the rebbe asks is how can we ask the rebbe to ask for us…which is normally assur mitzad memmutzah
Since when is it assur to daven for someone? We all do that all the time.
the question is why is the name achron shel pessach only used for pessach?
Which other day should be called “Acharon shel Pesach”?
