I don’t know what he holds about pills, but the yitochein seems to address plain fish oil.
Crazybrit, I can only guess that you don’t understand the question.
I have an idea! Tell us what you’ll write about in next week’s FJJ.
should your emotional needs come before your spiritual fulfillment of Hashem’s commandment
It’s a prerequisite, because someone whose emotional needs are not met will usually not be able to serve Hashem properly.
Advice for the future: leave a mobile number for them to text you a verification code. It’s extricated me on a number of occasions.
I’m not sure I understand your question, but if you’re solely looking at marriage from the perspective of avodas Hashem, you should still recognize that it serves that function only as much as it’s a properly functioning, “fulfilling” marriage.
Mostly, though, we’re human beings, and despite our idealism, we have real emotional needs, such as to feel appreciated and cherished.
Just Emes, you missed my crucial point, that it was still assur. I don’t know too much about the shavuos, so I’m not arguing it. I’m just pointing out that even according to your own words, the State of Israel was founded b’issur. You want to defend that because there wasn’t another issur as well?
Are we going to be mattir a ham sandwich as long as the mustard is kosher?
the Majority on the B”D of Klal Yisrael (as the Brisker Rav himself stated) voted against this opinion and in favor of state with no violation of any oaths if given with permission , proper boundaries, and eventual religiosity of state etc..
So since the state has never, to our great sorrow, become religious, they did not hold it was okay.
Please, keep the argument on topic, that we owe hakaras hatov to those who save lives. Don’t try to justify a state founded to change the definition of the Jewish nation to a secular one.
But I am not going over all the posts to verify it either.
I did it for you. This is the closest:

I’m not sure if you’re asking about gelatin capsules in general (he is mattir), or fish oil capsules (at worst, he says “yitochen” that it changed for the worse).
Lovaza undergoes a process called esterification, so that might be a consideration, but more importantly, its purpose is to lower cholesterol, so if it is the most effective medication available, for a particular patient, it might be a situation of pikuach nefesh.
In short, it’s not a question for the CR, but for a posek mumcheh.
I think that’s the same as my second possibility, which was supposed to read: “because he’s not sure that even according to the ML”M, the proliferation of swallowing something as a pill makes it kd”a”.
Oomis,

Perfect for we cr nuts.
Also, Hakatan, don’t tell me that it’s the A”Z of Zionism which causes me to adore the IDF, because 1) I don’t like Zionism; I think that it does involve A”Z and kefirah 2) I don’t adore the IDF, there’s plenty wrong with it, and I would never want a son of mine to be there, and don’t get me started on girls in the army, r”l.
None of that changes the chiyuv of hakaras hatov to the soldiers who do save lives.
Hakatan, it’s silly of you to not admit that we owe hakaras hatov to IDF soldiers because you wish to nitpick about whether they wish harm upon all of us or only those of us in Eretz Yisrael. If I were to concede that point (which is difficult to do when we see terrorism directed at Yidden in India, France, the US, etc.) would you then admit it?
You can blame the hatred of all Yidden on Zionism, and I won’t disagree, but that doesn’t change the fact that we owe hakaras hatov to individuals who did not cause it, but do risk their lives to protect Yidden.
Whether you want to call it arvus or not, just plain ahavas Yisrael should cause you to be makir tov to those who save the lives of your fellow Yidden.
Just Emes, that’s a nice theory, but it was never made as a frum state. It was, from the beginning, founded and run by kofrim, for the propose of kefirah, and still is. Whether the sholosh shavuos applies to a frum state is not relevant to the state which was formed and now exists.
I still agree with your initial statement that we owe hakaras hatov to individuals who defend Jewish lives, including IDF soldiers. But the idea of kashering a state founded on the notion of Am Yisrael disconnected from the Torah, ch’v, is awful, because that notion is kefirah.
Or maybe hodulashem is right that in the majority, someone whose heart is in the beis medrash will be there physically as well.
Goq, it’s a cross between churros (Mexican doughnuts) and muffins. Sort of like menurkeys without the religious overtones.
Popa, I’m just taking RebYidd’s advice.

I know many men/guys like that and there is no question they are out there.
We all do. Do we know a lot of bochurim like that, though? I don’t.
You’re welcome. They followed me here when I posted on this thread.
Chuffins:
Ingredients
1 cup water
2 1/2 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 quarts oil for frying
1/2 cup white sugar, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Original recipe yields 4 servings
Directions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine water, 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in flour until mixture forms a ball.
Place dough balls in muffin tins to shape them.
Heat oil for frying in deep-fryer or deep skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Pipe muffin shaped pieces of dough into hot oil using a pastry bag. Fry until golden; drain on paper towels.
Combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon. Roll drained chuffins in cinnamon and sugar mixture.
Hakatan, on point #1, do you really think they don’t want to destroy all of us?
On point #2, see Jbady’s post. Yes, I have hakaras hatov to soldiers who protect Jews in France.
The Satmar Rav’s mashal holds true for the state as an entity, but why do you apply it to individual soldiers whose parents weren’t even born at the time of the State’s founding?
I’m very unimpressed by your answers thus far.
Just Emes, thank you for your answer.
IS, the Shevet Haleivi is going according to the Mishnah L’melech and Noda Bi’Yehuda that swallowing without chewing is still considered derech achilah. The fish oil is still not derech achilah, because it’s not a substance consumed on its own.
If fish oil became a substance which is consumed on its own, then although according to the Toras Chaim’s definition of shelo k’derech achilasan it would still be muttar to swallow it as a pill, but would become assur according to the ML”M and NB”Y.
I am not sure if he is only m’supak if it changed l’issur because he’s not sure that it’s common enough to be considered k’derech achilasan, because he’s not sure that even according to the ML”M the proliferation of swallowing pills makes something as a pill makes it kd”a, or because he’s not sure how to pasken in that machlokes.
Um…so wait…does this mean that one should never invite shabbos guests, or should only invite female shabbos guests? Because otherwise someone’s wife will be cooking/baking for someone else’s husband. I don’t see how a shabbos meal should be any different than a plate of cookies. In fact a shabbos meal is perhaps more intimate because the wife may be directly serving the other husband.
Never is a very unforgiving word. Yes, though, mixed couple socializing can be dangerous and in many cases should be avoided.
Okay, one question for Hakatan, and one question for Just Emes:
Hakatan, do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
“Regardless of any disagreements between the non-religious and religious Jews in Israel regarding mandatory Army Service for Talmudic and Yeshiva students – I feel compelled to state categorically: That every Jew must have “Hakaras Hatov,” “a recognition of thanks” for any soldier (no matter what level of observance or non-observance they might have) who puts his life on the line to protect and save members of the Jewish people from the enemies who wish to destroy us.
And Just Emes, agree or disagree:
“Regardless of any disagreements between the non-religious and religious Jews in Israel regarding mandatory Army Service for Talmudic and Yeshiva students – I feel compelled to state categorically: That every Jew must have “Hakaras Hatov,” “a recognition of thanks” for any Torah scholar who delves into his studies, because Torah study serves to protect and save the Jewish people from the enemies who wish to destroy us.
Rabbiofberlin, thank you for the compliment.
As far as your second point, I will make the precise point I was trying to make about fruits and vegetable; when the metzius changes, the halacha must be evaluated anew. When new infestation is discovered, the old methods of inspection and washing may become irrelevant, and possibly, when an item recently becomes commonly eaten, the old status of “shelo k’derech achilah” changes.
The halacha didn’t change, nor did our approach to halacha change; its application to a particular item changed.
So please tell me, why does a woman who is clearly in her post-childbearing years, or one who has had the removal of her reproductive organs, ALSO have to wait that same amount of time to get married? Why must a woman who was an agunah for decades, not be able to marry immediately (same as her ex-husband can), when she is finally freed, and clearly has not lived with him for WAY past those three months?
That’s actually a machlokes (Yevamos 42b). The reason for the shittah which is machmir (and we pasken this way – S.A. E.H. 13) is “lo plug”.
As for the rest of your post, right, that’s what I said. We can suggest a partial reason, but it’s much, much deeper than anything we humans can think of.
BTW – would u have any idea why rabbi wosner says in todays days the din might be more chamoor?
Maybe since fish oil supplements became common, with the fish oil encapsulated but not mixed with anything, he’s ???? that it’s become ???? ?????.
Syag,
Your 8 year old posts?
I normally understand what you don’t like about popa’s posts, but not this time.
Popa, you could have addressed your question to me, since I’m the one who brought it up.
The answer, of course us no, but a lot of tznius is not about things that are inherently untznius, but about proper and wise gedarim. Generational difference is definitely an important factor in determining what level of relationship/friendliness is appropriate.
My issue with WIY’s comment was in assuming that Torah613’s neighbor’s sending cookies was in any way related to some kind of breach of proper gedarim. Age is but one of many ways that giving cookies would not be a breach.
It was the alcohol and drugs.
(When I saw the thread title, I assumed that the word burn was an imperative verb rather than a noun )
Bym and popa, if you want to talk about what social benefits there are to living according to the Torah, that’s fine. But then popa’s right, because Hashem is smart enough to create a world in which there are (generally) multiple social benefits to following the Torah.
Bais yakov maidel, I’m sorry, but that’s also hogwash.
The reason a woman can’t have multiple husbands is because once she has one, she’s an eishes ish, and kiddushin isn’t tofes. That’s lomdish speak for “because Hashem said”.
Any social reason you’ll try to give is going to be incomplete and dangerous.
Is it okay to have multiple husbands now that we have genetic testing? Is it okay if her husband hasn’t been seen in years but never gave a get? Is it okay if he’s in a hospital lying in a vegetative state?
No, because she’s still an eishes ish.
So I’m a big fat jerk if I don’t?
(Also, R’ Yehuda holds it’s an ohel, just aray and it’s not mevatel Ohel k’va.)
Maybe, but sending cookies, for example, as a welcome to a new neighbor, would also be fine, and I’m not sure why you’re imagining anything more than that.
naklitin
Your tent is lower than ten tefachim?
Is it weird if I only spent about 3 times as much on my car as on my backpacking gear?
It is weird if you were able to get a decent car in the $2,000 range.
??? ????
Comparable to which of the gemara’s tents, kvius-wise?
Yes, but you are guessing about the other one, and about the type of relationship.
WIY, my septuagenarian neighbor sends over cookies every month for Shabbos mevorchim. Do you think it’s weird and inappropriate?
(actually, babka, but the point is the same)
well how do you manage the weight gain from them.?
It’s okay, I’m not in shana rishona. 🙂
BTW, ms, a while ago, you posted a question looking for a mareh makom. I found it, and posted it. Did you see that?
Also, which type of tent are you reffering to?
It’s one thing not to know that Daf Yomi is skipping a mesechta. Fine. But you didn’t know that a tent isn’t necessarily an ohel? And we’re big fat jerks for not realizing that you’re an am ha’aretz?
Squeak, Purim is when you get the money to pay for the yeshuois you buy the rest of the year.
When I say believe, I’m borrowing the term from the thread title. I think it’s not something we would normally categorize as belief.
I think one is only entitled to an opinion if it’s Talmud based, as you say, but it needs to be from the same perspective as one should have on any sugya: you can come out understanding one tzad better than another, but with the recognition that we’re ants compared to the Rishonim, and that our opinions are severely handicapped by our limited mental and spiritual abilities.
If someone came to that conclusion based on his legitimate understanding of the sugya, fine. That’s what RSG did.
If someone came to that conclusion based on a belief system influenced by outside, secular sources, that’s not fine.
Why? Do they have good cookies there?
What does this have to do with shana rishona?
I’m not in shana rishona and I still like cookies.
I don’t think praising the niftar minimizes any other tragedy. Sure, if the victim of a tragedy was not the best talmid, we wouldn’t talk about it, but if he was a serious learner, then it is part of the story, and mentioning it is a bit of a hesped.
