Now if someone wants to say that R’ Chaim’s mehalech can’t override the Rema, that’s perfectly fine.
Of course it can’t, which is why taking R’ Chaim out of the realm of “hypothetical lomdus” (black hat tip to Gavra) is so outrageous, yet that is what you are doing.
Find a romantic spot, give her two dozen red roses, and ask her, “would you be my first wife?”.
So popa would solve the shidduch crisis with a light box?
(What false premises?)
Lol Torah613.
I think believing in the shidduch crisis causes financial and metabolic challenges.
The truth is, you bring up a very fair point, that it is unhealthy and counterproductive for a girl to stress over the numbers issues. I think that it must be stressed to any individual girl that, 1) first and foremost, HKB”H runs the world 2) even b’derech hateva, any individual’s chances of finding a shidduch are excellent, provided she (or he, for that matter) has her (his) priorities in order.
The age gap is more of an issue for society to deal with than for single girls to deal with.
Unless Al Zone convinces some of the 24b’s to marry some of the 26g’s and then the crisis just lasts forever.
No, because if 26 year old girls are still in the shidduch pool, and there are enough boys for them, there is no crisis.
In other words, yes, that will leave out some of the younger ones, but they can still get married later.
Of course, in a world in which there were no population growth, ch”v, NASI wouldn’t need to convince anyone to marry older girls, and Rabbi Pinchos Lipschutz would have to find other ads to fill the pages of his publication.
lol 42 (41-43?)
Ihear, what does putting on tefillin as an optional mitzvah have to do with what time one wakes up?
PAA, R’ Chaim is clearly not saying anything l’maaseh. Why do you say he is?
Akuperma, I don’t know why I’m bothering, since popa once tried explaining it to you, as did HaLeiVi now, but the shidduch crisis is caused by population expansion, so what you say makes no sense.
It reminds me of Yogi Berra saying, “Nobody goes to that restaurant anymore, because it’s too crowded”.
Haga atzmicha: the shidduch crisis is generally defined as a problem for the girls. The vast majority of boys get married, but a slightly smaller percentage of eligible girls get married; it’s those girls left out for whom I and many others worry.
Because he’s smart.
If you’re stressed out by the thought of making Pesach, go to a hotel. One that provides only hand shmurah matzah.
If I am staying home, can I still call you names?
If there is truely a “shidduch” crisis, we would be hearing about elementary schools closing due to lack of students, and unemployed teachers looking for alternative careers due to lack of work. This isn’t happening.
You’re joking, right?
Popa, I thank you for dedicating this very entertaining troll thread to me.
Popa, right, ad infinitum (v’ad bichlal). So where’s the shortfall, other than in the original several hundred (now older) girls?
What does Oorah’s video have to do with this?
After year 5, 100 23 year olds will marry 100 19 year olds. In year 6, when the 23 year olds look at the shidduch pool, they might find a few 24 year olds, 23 yrar olds, and 22 and 21 year olds, but no 20 year olds, because they all got married. In year seven, there won’t be any 20 or 21 year olds; they will have all gotten married in the past two years. Etc.
So after 10 years, your pool of 19-24 year old girls consists of exactly 100 19 year olds.
Because at that point they will all be chapped, and there won’t be any 20+ year olds left.
Your way, there’s a kitzvah. Eventually, there are only 19 year olds left to marry.
The real way, the numbers keep increasing, and it’s an ongoing problem.
42, Our highly qualified representatives screen all of our prospective buyers before they purchase, and are exceedingly vigilant when contacting the airlines. You can be assured that your account is always protected.
This sounds to me like the miles brokers need to keep the information from the airlines.
are you an attorney?
If you don’t mind, I’d rather not say, MS. Even were I to say that I am an attorney, as an anonymous poster, I wouldn’t have ne’emanus, and you would need to do your own research anyhow.
I would advise you to speak to a rov you trust, who deals in Choshen Mishpat shailos. He may very well have already done the legal research, or will. It’s probably a common shailah.
“Don’t ask don’t tell”
Chas v’shalom. Do ask.
That’s right, if your rav isn’t meikil enough for you, dispose of him and get a new one.
After further research, I’m not so sure. It seems that except for the state or states which outlaw selling miles, the airlines have no right, legally, to stop the consumer from selling miles. They do have a right to penalize the consumer, but it’s still perfectly legal to sell them, although they have a right to confiscate your miles and/or throw you out of the program. Sort of a legal cat and mouse game.
Which browser are all of you using?
They didn’t have machine shmurah. I think I paid $6 per lb. last year for imported from E.Y. with Badatz Eidah Chareidis.
Hand shmurah in Costco: $13.99 per lb.
Company: Holyland, imported from Israel by HKS Marketing.
Hashgachos: ? and NSKC (Skver)
From the FAQs page:
Yes… It is Legal.
Many airline mileage programs restrict the sale or trade of frequent flyer miles. However, you should know that there is no federal or state law prohibiting you from selling or trading your frequent flyer miles, Utah state law being the exception. Therefore, provided that the necessary precautions are taken, the sale and transfer of your miles can be a safe and secure procedure.
Cash 4 Miles goes to great lengths to ensure that each transaction is discreet and secure. Our top priority is safeguarding your account. Our highly qualified representatives screen all of our prospective buyers before they purchase, and are exceedingly vigilant when contacting the airlines. You can be assured that your account is always protected.
This does not seem right. If it’s against airline policies, then presumably you agreed to their terms, and are breaking your contract with them. There is no federal or state law forcing the airlines to disallow sale of miles, but it should still be illegal if the terms of agreement are not followed.
No, but if we don’t, maybe the website will disappear…
It does, though. There’s a chashash that dough gets caught in the machinery, and a question if turning on the machine l’shem mitzvah is sufficient. There are undoubtedly cultural issues as well, but there are underlying halachic issues.
Gamanit, the one currently advertising publishes their phone # and address, and advertises “Fast | Legal | Reliable”.
Another that I have seen advertise actually publishes the names of the owners.
Thete are companies which specialize in this. At least one is currently running ads on Yeshiva World.
That’s a good idea, marbehshalom, but in some communities, machine matzah is not accepted at all.
HaLeiVi, as much as I enjoy your posts, I think I’d probably survive without. 🙂
ZD, again you’re assuming that anything which you don’t hold of is a chumrah and unnecessary.
Some hold machine matzoh is unacceptable for the mitzvah. We are dealing with a mitzvas aseh d’Oraisa.
Hand Made Shumrah is a CHUMRAH, The Machine Shamurah is more than fine, Alm ost No Posek is going to say you cant use it.
False. Some do not allow machine (I personally would eat certain brands).
And there is also no reason to eat Hand Shmurah the entire Peseach, you only need eat it for the Sedar.
False again. The Gr”a holds you’re mekayem a mitzvah by eating a k’zayis on any day of Pesach, and those who don’t consider machine matzo to be “l’shem matzas mitzvah” will be makpid on hand matzah for the entire Yom Tov..
You can eat regular Streits Matza for the rest of the Holidays.
Again, not true. Many are makpid on shmurah, and even more are makpid on 18 minute matzah (they stop the run and clean the machinery every 18 minutes), so your implication that they’re really the same is false.
Okay, but apparently, that means that the bar to entry isn’t insurmountably high.
I have no idea how much money they lost or how much debt they incurred. You’re right that someone did it, but we don’t know if there really is a reasonable chance of success.
Does anybody know when the Lakewood matzo bakery opened? It’s more than ten years, but I think it’s newer than the Brooklyn bakeries, and might be some sort of model for a potential success.
Have there been any new shmurah matzah bakeries in the last ten years?
Yes. It folded after two or three years. The matzo might have been a couple of dollars cheaper than the others.
The entire situation seems to spell disaster.

Popa, you forgot these classics:

Popa, you got married on your birthday?
Does a Kallah need to give a gift to her Chosson in the yichud room?
Or are you just bad at cooking?

Wolf, wow, you hit the trifecta.
I’m pretty sure I’m not a goy, and unfortunately, I haven’t yet done teshuvah.
I must be MO.
Wow, that was a long hangover.
I don’t like the sevara either. If it’s something anyone can easily fix, it was never broken.
There are legitimate heterim not to tovel aluminum disposables, though.
Oomis, take a look at my previous post, and click on the second link.
Still cheaper than maintaining a human wife.
