Is old-fashioned bad?
Interlocking puzzles are assur according to some poskim because of koseiv.
don’t introduce the characters so quickly.
The squid wasn’t introduced until right before the end.
What’s wrong with marrying a neighbor?
Also, depending on how old your kids are, you don’t want to uproot them more than necessary.
Gavra, 🙂
Zahavasdad, enjoy!
Pixelate, yes, there is what appears to be a typo in some editions of S.A., which is why Sam mixed it up as well. Go check the sources, though.
He probably meant Oktm, as mentioned earlier by Charlie.

Sam2, I don’t think YD 2:56 says that. What you probably thought he meant was the implication that it’s only b’veis hamishtaos, but if you look carefully, I think you’ll agree that he is referring to singing, not instruments.
In 137 he clearly assers instruments during Sefirah even when one is alone. He seems to hold that even the R”ma assers instruments to be played in public, so the additional chumra of sefira is for private listening.
In OC 3:87, he calls following the S.A. “raui l’hachmir” but “ein limchos b’yad hameikilim” to follow R”ma.
Hey folks, give the mods a break. They’re doing us a favor here. And to back up 127, it does say in the rules, “2 – If your post was deleted, please don’t post asking us why your post was deleted. It was deleted because we felt that there was something inappropriate, off topic etc. Do not resubmit deleted posts.”
(To be fair to us posters, the rule before that seems to be completely ignored 🙂 ).
Gavra, there are rules, but there are exceptions. Part of halachah is knowing which heterim were historically accepted and which were not.
The heter for chodosh, for example, surely would not have been accepted (and likely not offered) if not for the tremendous sha’as had’chak. How to deal with the contemporary situation is fascinating; I find some who feel that since the situation changed, we should therefore be machmir,but others feel that once the heter was accepted for generations, we can continue to be meikil. Both approaches are backed by legitimate talmidei chachomim. I know people who are makpid on yoshon but not C.Y., and people who are makpid on C.Y. but not yoshon. Each think the other’s got it backwards. (Puk chazi mai ama d’bar which is more common.)
The issur of music during Sefirah, OTOH, for whatever reason, has been widely accepted, and I think the acceptance by the tzibbur makes it binding on yechidim, even if the halachic basis for it may seem a bit flimsy to us.
Personally, if Klal Yisroel can be Meikel like the Bach for Chodosh (which is M’dioraysa), they certainly can be Somech on the Rama, Tos. & Rashi for Zimrah.
Oh, is that the way halachah works? Take the “weakest link” and apply it across the board?
Maybe aderaba, we should copy what we do for ba’al yeiraeh of chametz, which, since we do bittul anyhow, is d’rabbonon, yet Klal Yisroel is quite machmir.
You can’t compare the various inyonim. Each series of halochos has its own history and dynamic of how the hanhagah developed.
Igrot Moshe (1:166)
He assers there, although he acknowledges the fact that there are mattirim.
No, but as you said, the Igros Moshe and others discuss it.
I find Daas Yochid to be a knowledgeable poster
Thank you (I’ll ignore the rest).
FTR, it does not bother me. Although the opinion permitting it is a minority, there are those who follow it (talmidim of YR Chaim Berlin, and I’m sure others), and I don’t really see YWN Radio playing during sefirah as a michshol to the majority who are machmir.
The sevara to only be mattir because the non-Jews prohibited Sunday haircuts is found in the Levush.
However, R’ Schachter points out that the Rama’s source (I think it’s a Maharil) is explicit that the reason isn’t Kavod Shabbos. The reason is that the Christians would not let anyone get haircuts on Sundays
The Mahari”v I saw did not say this.
Rav Moshe’s heter to listen to music all year long
Source, please?
Other than this oft repeated, not yet substantiated rumor of R’ Moshe’s heter, I agree with every post so far on this thread.
Also, see Biur HaGr”a, who says it’s based on the Gemara in Moed Katan, 17b.
AC is correct that it’s the Mahari”v, not Mahari”l, who is mattir.
Ayin Mechaber and BY b’shem Tashbe”tz, and by extension, kavod Shabbos should be sufficient reason in our case as well.
Apushatayid, they may both be wrong during davening, but you surely don’t mean to compare learning with checking emails.
Y&P, using grammatical gender terms is not the same as calling Him a man, unless you mean, as I had originally assumed, that “the Man upstairs” is a euphemism.
Sam, I disagree with you, especially on your comparison.
The inyan of being dan l’kaf z’chus doesn’t negate the inyan of vih’yisem n’kiyim, so despite the fact that you properly assume that someone on a smartphone in shul is using it as a siddur, it might still be the wrong thing to do.
I don’t know where you daven, but where I daven, most people use siddurim, so no assumption is likely to be made that someone is reading a book.
I have most definitely seen people using a smartphone for non-davening purposes in shul, so in my experience, that’s a much more reasonable assumption to make.
I think it’s worth the twenty second investment of time to grab a paper version from the shelf.
Of course, I might be biased, because I’m a traditionalist at heart.
im assuming her concern is if the shidduch doesnt work, which may lead to awkwardness between you two?
That would be a more rational fear, but still a selfish consideration. If that were her reson, I would tell her to be mature about it; if it’s appropriate, redt the shidduch, and if it doesn’t work out, keep your frienship anyhow.
It’s also possible that the sibling doesn’t think it’s an appropriate shidduch and is using awkwardness as a cover, in order not to insult her friend.
Is there really anything beyond Brooklyn?
Anyhow, to answer your question, most people I’ve spoken to about it felt that Verizon has better overall coverage. There are always going to be areas that are the exception, though. Someone once told me that in parts of Connecticut, Verizon service isn’t very strong.
What was wrong with my suggestion?
Hello Mr. 80! (When I started posting, you were already a mod, so that’s how I think of you.)
Great to have you back, even as a cameo.
I don’t think anyone should get married to someone with a family. They might become friends with their new relatives, which would be terribly awkward.
Well, it took a couple of years, but I guess now your father’s okay with it.
I just want want people to think, and maybe to smile.
“There’s never a vacation from learning” – every camp learning director.
Also, he probably needs to catch up on Yoma.
Use the Jackie Robinson rather than the belt. Much faster, and a better hitter.
Isn’t that enough?
If you’re using it to keep rhythm to excercise, you can even listen to instrumental.
Now for SaysMe’s post:
Lol yeah! description when you dont really need, they make for a good laugh. I Please try to work on the translation of all N we send a photo of my friend. Great entertainment!
LF’s post translated by Google to Japanese, then back to English:
Scratch that, “similar” husband, the English.
You can buy a gadget with a statement such as to leave your head spin ever? I thought it was scary, but who is the one garbled mush you know what language that was used to make the machine, even deep perhaps internal “electronic problem” they?
I’m bumping this to show Syag that my objection to overuse of the word “brainwashing” is not limited to one context, and that her attack on me in the now closed thread was misplaced and unfair.
It seems most likely that when giving a gift of a glass dish with candy on it, the giver would have to toivel it first. Although when giving a plain dish, we would follow the shittah that it’s considered a “kli sechorah” rather than a “kli seudah”, in this case, by putting the candy on the dish, the giver is using it for food. As one poster noted above, there is no heter to use a vessel once; that is most likely an error which cropped up because some confused it with disposable untensils.
Simply lining the dish with paper would not help; to avoid the tevilah requirement, it would need to be placed in something which could hold the candy on its own.
Popa, what comes after Beitzah?
Isn’t popa ben achar ben from Aristotle?
Jbaldy22, I was kind of expecting you to chime in on this thread…
🙂
Staples?
And we didn’t even get to Lag Baomer yet!
I hope the new neighbors also make good chocolates chip cookies.
DaMoshe, I don’t think that’s a function of brainwashing or not brainwashing.
Syag, the taking a line out of context, yes. The mocking, no.
DaMoshe, for the record, I’m just trying to make a point that I think the term “brainwashed” is much misused, but not ch”v trying to mock you.
OK, may I ask what is the difference?
there is no heter to engage in anything nasty
Before you go, can you just let us know who your rav is so we can ask him? Because apparently, you got a heter to be nasty.
Well, we found a point of agreement between Hakatan and DaMoshe. They both hold that anyone who disagrees with them must have been brainwashed.
