    I don’t know where you can get it online.

    Matuk Kal is 4.5% and Matuk Rouge Soft is 7%. Both come in non mevushal (the larger bottles).

    I would imagine the same issue would apply to the lottery ticket.

    They’re not the same. You earn interest for every day they hold your money, so it’s schar Shabbos (although it’s only a problem when Shabbos is right next to Yom Tov, because they calculate from midnight to midnight, part of which isn’t Shabbos, so on a regular Shabbos, it’s muttar because of havla’ah).

    With winning a lottery, there’s no schar Shabbos. You don’t actually earn anything on Shabbos.

    It’s making money on Shabbos.

    You didn’t make money on Shabbos.

    It’s certainly not a no-brainer, because stocks have also been discussed over the years as to Shabbos ramifications.

    I don’t think anyone ever questioned owning stocks over Shabbos (or, at least, it’s pretty much been settled), even though the company is open over Shabbos and the value might go up (more relevant to Yom Tov since markets are open).

    I think the issues discussed are orders to automatically buy or sell at a certain price.

    If you won the drawing then it’s yours.

    No, it isn’t until you receive it. You don’t make any kinyan by holding a ticket with a winning number.

    Ubiquitin, I don’t get it. When it comes to abortion, which for goyim is murder (and also for Jews in most cases), you want the government to stay out and let the rabbonim decide, but when it comes to tzedaka, you want the government dictating how much and to whom it should go.

    I heard it differently b’shem R’ Yaakov – that since the takanah of chazaras hasha”s for Mincha was only for people who couldn’t daven on their own (as opposed to Shacharis when there’s also Birchas Kohanim), batei medrash, in which generally only people who know how to daven on their own daven, were excluded.

    If Rabbi Shimon places Reuven into cherem and later Reuven passes away, the cherem doesn’t carry over to Reuven’s great-grandchildren that were never even alive when Reuven was in cherem.

    It makes perfect sense if the cherem wasn’t on a specific person or people, but on anyone who conducts themselves a certain way.

    Of course, l’shitoscho, cherem d’Rabeinu Gershom can’t apply nowadays. 🤔

    For all the “chareidim” here who claim to follow this or that Rebbe, shlit”a, or this or that Rosh Yeshiva, shlit”a – none of their Rebbiem would allow their followers to be on this website, let alone be on the internet for non-parnassa reasons.

    That’s simply not true. There are some who don’t, but many who do.

    The NH interpenetrates many passages in the same context as Chassidus, where it is not found in any other source only there.

    Where did chassidus get it from?

    What’s a connection with all this to moshiach sheker?

    IF he indeed claimed himself to be moshiach, as many (probably most) Chabad chassidim claim, and as posted by several in this and other threads, then there are two options: he’s moshiach, or he was a moshiach sheker.

    So unless the NH was mechaven to chassidis by himself he obviously took it from there.

    That only makes sense if you think chassidus was invented, not if it’s just restating what’s already in the Torah.

    Why do meshichists feel that the Rebbe is more likely to be Moshiach than the Baal Shem or the Chasam Sofer or Rashi?

    There’s no logical reason, but as you say, they “feel” that way.

    If you don’t believe Moshiach could come from the dead you are a kofer in Toras Moshe and have no chelek in Olam Habo!

    As I believe Sechel Hayashar has posted, before the Rebbe was niftar, nobody considered the possibility that moshiach could be a dead person. Digging up supposed shittos that moshiach could be a dead person was done because of many people in Chabad being unable to accept reality.

    Saying he is “b’chezkas moshiach” is the distortion of Torah. Just read the Rambam, and hold the sefer straight, not upside down.

    Just because according to many chabadnicks think he did, doesnt mean he said he did.

    This isn’t a matter of of someone claiming he said something privately. That’s the case with the denials.

    This is based on public statements.

    It seems like the vast majority of the intended audience, his chassidim, understood his statements as claiming he was moshiach.

    Kol hakavod to those Lubavicher chassidim, such as Sechel Hayashar, who try to interpret his words differently so that they don’t need to consider him a moshiach sheker.

    Unfortunately , most, it seems (although the antis claim it’s just a vocal minority) avoid considering him a moshiach sheker by either saying he’s still alive, or that he is going to be resurrected as moshiach. The problem, of course, is that this is a distortion of Yiddishkeit.

    The Lubavich Rebbe never delcared himself the Moshiach, others did.

    According to many Lubavichers, he did.

    One can sip wine all day and fulfill what this sefer suggests.

    Not really. He holds you’re supposed to get quite drunk, and that won’t do it.

    He definitely says that unless you know that you won’t do an aveirah in your drunkenness, you shouldn’t get to that point.

    I also agree that anything more than “simcha” is not required, or appropriate, at night. Not drunkenness.

    But, let’s be honest. Go through all of his teshuvos there, you’ll see that the ikar mitzvah is to get very drunk.

    The one thing I don’t see in all these threads is the fact that the “chiyuv” of Ad dlo yada is brought in the hilchos of the seudas Purim…..why does everyone think one is allowed to walk around both on leil Yud Daled and during the entire day in this state?

    According to the מקדש ישראל, the mitzvah to drink is not only during the seudah.

    It doesn’t really mean anything. Hashem will protect those who observe the mitzvah of getting drunk on Purim. Even if you drink 20 shots of vodka and drive, you’ll be fine.

    Mikdash Yisroel is quite clear that use of other intoxicating beverages is not part of L’ivsumai bePuriah. Read it again. He notes that some people do it, but does not agree with it.

    Okay, I looked it up. That is absolutely wrong. He says you’re yotzei with any intoxicating beverage, but there’s an inyan al pi kabbala to at least drink a little bit of wine.

    Thanks for the citations. Some are accurate, others not quite.

    Very possible. I didn’t see them inside, I found them online somewhere.

    I disagree with you about the Aruch Hashulchan. He is indeed in favor of following the R”ma, but he’s talking about Purim, and had whisky not been valid for the mitzvah, he would have said so.
