How someone can so vehemently attack tens of thousands of Yidden, in the same post in which he calls someone a rasha for attacking the beliefs of large groups of Yidden, is beyond me.
He does say that it does not require hachraza which I will not pretend to understand
It would seem that it’s likely enough that the ba’alim are chashud on davar ha’assur that hachrazah is not recommended.
A “mishmar shaila” is a brain teaser, so called because it’s supposed to hold the attention and interest of bochurim late at night at a voluntary seder.
I believe R’ Scheinberg zt”l wrote a sefer with such shailos, called “Mishmeres Chaim”.
How about Open DNS on the router?
Also, there are services which allow remote access to the entire computer (e.g. LogMeIn). One of these should work for you with K9.
Didn’t it become a safek d’rabbonon?
The song “Chazak Yimaleh” was on an old album called “Neginah Presents…”. It was rereleased in the “Legends of Jewish Music” series and might be available on Mostly Music.
Rd, refuah sheleimah.
I have to say, your line, “Why do you need to go to special lengths to get a 3/4 sleeve top or a knee-length skirt?” was also pretty good.
RoB, I quote lebedik yankel (emphasis mine):
“3. The Taz (if I recall correctly) writes that someone who stops learning because of a bona fide pikuach nefesh that was not efshar laasos al ydei acherim is doing what the halacha requires, yet is getting the raw deal: it would have been far better for him to have continued learning.”
What did he say wrong?
RoB, the Ta’z says precisely what lebidik yankel said he does. I’m not sure which one you misunderstood.

You can try explaining again how letting the girls say yes first fill allow 110 of them to marry 100 guys.
Although you still haven’t denied that there are more unmarried girls than boys or managed to explain it.
You’re toi funny.
😉
It’s been found, I once read, that the most effective means of preventing graffiti is cleaning off any graffiti found. There’s no greater deterrent than knowing your work will disappear.
Mayan1, there are many who do this already. Their marriage rate is not higher than those who exclusively meet through a shadchan (it’s probably lower), so there’s no reason to think it would help.
In fact, it’s interesting to observe that the more a group is restrictive in its “dating” process, the higher the marriage rate seems to be, moving up successively from secular to MO to yeshivish to chassidish.
This in no way proves cause and effect, but it certainly puts some doubt into any theory which proposes loosening restrictions as a means of increasing marriages.
Why are their posts allowed instead of deleted?
As for Koach D’Hetaira Adif.
I was trying to demonstrate to you that “halacha” does not assign a “value” to Kulah, rather it simply means it is more difficult to be able to go Lkulah it requires more erudition a solid method or reasoning ect.
It does not mean Kulos are better then Chumros.
Au Contrair.
It’s been demonstrated to him before. He just ignores it.
Stick with “Joseph”.
As far as the “koach deheteirah odif’ ,doesn’t this show that it is more appropriate to pasken lekuloh?
No, just the opposite.
whether the army has sufficient soldiers
Why does that make difference if The klal of ‘efshar laasos al jedei acher’ does not apply here. ?
Yetels, please use one sn in the future so that everyone knows who’s posting.
Ubi,
how did you get “not value their opinion” from what I said? your use of the term “appeal to authority”, when I never said or implied that my position was absolutely proven by talmidei chachomim agreeing with it, implied that you didn’t value it. It was rhetorical; I knew that you (again) misunderstood me.
what is it that gives them a bar hachi on the age gap theory more than me?
All of the above. They’re smarter and more logical than you.
Squeak, one of them actually told it to me. But nice try.
Sam, what were the other three? (Oh, and are you impressed? 🙂 )
I assume Chacham means os yud.
I think by this thyme it’s alright.
Oh, right. Thanks!
Why on earth would you want to burn paper????
It doesn’t ruin any bread.
Hopefully, this was the last time.
Rf, you’re changing the subject. Why it’s not a milchemes mitzvah is a different discussion. You were arguing from the point of pikuach nefesh.
I am sorry but you did in fact call the R”Y of one of the biggest yeshivas in america “disingeneous”
I’m not allowed al pi din to believe your story.
And not every RY is a gadol (some signatories are).
If you think we don’t value the opinion of talmidei chachomim, I guess we don’t practice the same religion.
I didn’t call any gedolim disingenuous. I’m skeptical that a gadol would sign on something which he considered untrue. Even if the person you spoke to was a gadol, and even if he did tell you it was nonsense, maybe he didn’t really think so, but felt there was no harm in telling that to you.
I wasn’t appealing to authority; read my comment in context.
I have news for you though. We Jews believe in appeal to authority.
I can’t look yet.
Were we discussing this?
It’s more important to realize the flaws in your own community.
You do realize the sad irony in that statement, don’t you?
???
Of course they were both gedolim, in which case it wasn’t being used I. such a way as to require quotation marks.
Why do you put the word gedolim in quotes? Was Rabeinu Yonah not a gadol?
Accepted.
I just assumed you agreed with articles you cited.
I do. I just don’t think he was defining it, only dramatizing it by highlighting an obvious and disturbing effect if it.
one of the signers
I think if he disagreed, he shouldn’t gave signed, and your one exception doesn’t indicate to me that the rest of the signatories were similarly disingenuous.
As I mentioned, I’ve spoken to a couple of big talmidei chachomim (neither of whom signed) and they definitely agreed to the theory. That’s neither here nor there, because the theory makes sense either way.
It’s mostly an island; enough that the numbers issue needs to be a starting point.
I’ve been arguing my position on its own merits, not hiding behind anyone. If you don’t want to agree, fine. Just realize, that by calling my opinion, which is shared by gedolim, one which can only be held by the simpleminded, you are calling not only me, but them too, simpleminded.
Siyum?
Here’s where YOU called it the “money quote”:
Here’s where I downplayed it:
Feel free to disagree with me, but not to misrepresent what I hold.
No, it’s not how he defines it. It’s how he dramatizes it.
Well, it seems the mods agree with popa’s assessment of JasonX.
Ubi, that wasn’t a definition. You harped on that sentence. I didn’t.
I would greatly appreciate if you didn’t misrepresent my opinion. Thanks.
The “theory” is far too simplistic and utterly fails to take into account anything other than a single variable.
It really doesn’t; it merely assumes that there us one factor, which if not dealt with, will continue to cause an insurmountable disparity.
And watch who you call simpleminded. Some of the greatest talmidei chachomim of the generation, a couple of whom I spoke to personally about it, agree with the theory.
the entire “theory” is based on not much more than hunches and guesswork
Be fair. That’s not what they said.
Which btw is how you defined it during our last discussion on this topic
You’re getting me confused with you. You claimed that’s the cause of the problem; I said (and still do) that it’s an effect.
Jbaldy22, rf must have meant the regular OV shas.
Thanks, Jfem.
Actually, rf mentioned Oz Vehadar Mesivta. At $28 each ($38 for the large), and 135 volumes, I’ll take a few sets for $800 each.
Can you get another chavrusa (and he too, if a commitment was made)?
How well do you learn on your own?
