Because the brachah itself is the mitzvah, and we’re assuming it’s
a z’man grama.
Either they are Mevatel a Chiyuv Brachah every month or they make Brachos Levatalah every 28 years.
It’s a reshus. No stirah.
Rav Miller’s opinion was the observations of a shrewd and intelligent man who understood the world and human nature quite well.
I agree. So is the other opinion.
Simcha613 is expressing the opinion of the majority of gedolim, as was that of the gedolim in Europe.
Rav Miller zt”l’s opinion was a chiddush.
ZD, until now they were in favor?
Abcd2, my point is that he seems to be contradicting himself regarding their reliability.
There are two basic parts of kashrus supervision: halachic standards, and the actual implementation of those standards.
I’m fine with the idea of a hechsher having low standards, as long as they meet the minimum, and they’re transparent about it. Rebdoniel’s realization that their standards don’t meet his is actually something which I applaud. It may very well be that their standards don’t even meet the minimum.
My issue is relying on the implementation of whatever their standards may be. Tablet-K has a horrible reputation in this regard. Rebdoniel is, on one hand, acknowledging this, yet other than the specific halachic issue he has with their treatment of gevinas aku”m, he would eat from their hechsher.
Even if he’s discarded them altogether, he should have done so earlier based on non implemention (shoddy supervision and enforcement).
I don’t get his approach.
There needs to be a parve main dish category. I think I’ll write a scathing letter to the FJJ.
Why doesn’t he think he’s smarter than the Ramba”m?
I tried turning the volume low, but then I could hear my wife.
The food is bishul aku”m. The fact that it was not previously assur to him is irrelevant; neither was chazir.
The din of mumar is based on knas. We’re talking about an actual goy.
It’s not whether you win or lose…
it’s just whether you win.
Why is it in the michig recipe category?
True. My apologies.
But why bring up the cheese issue if the whole hechsher is shoddy?
Also, didn’t you say that you originally ate their cheese?
I don’t hold like Tosafot le ma’aseh on anything
Is that a bit of an anti-Ashkenazi bias I’m detecting?
Kasher, this is not a forum for actual piskei halachah, but for discussion. You are answering a different question than the OP asked.
Assur. Bishul Aku”m applies even in specific circumstances where there’s no chashash, for example, a childless non-Jew.
Cute, though.
BTW, regarding hunting, I forgot who it was that said that it’s actually permitted, but it’s not “jewish” to do.
Noda Bi’Yehudah, IIRC.
Tablet K was started by rabbi safra who died in 2009 it is assumed that his family took over the business.
So here we have rebdoniel saying a kashrus organization run by a deceased rabbi and his layman sons is mostly reliable.
Rd, it seemed to me that the OP was referring to inappropriate touching.
Mark, as a matter of practice, one should definitely ask a posek, not the CR, but how could extenuating circumstances be mattir the nuggets? (You’re probably right about the keilim.)
Rd, I agree. I just thought you were describing women making brachos on MASG in general.
I will repeat my question: which rabbi runs Tablet K?
Rd, when WoW shake lulav, would you say their brachah is worse than my wife’s? (We’re Ashkenazi.)
Don’t Worry Be Happy,
Don’t worry. Be Happy.
Kasher, you’re arguing on the question.
Even in cases where there’s no technical issur of arayos, it’s still assur.
Harming someone is assur under the klal of v’ohavta l’reiacha, and probably knows d’vorim (which, correct me if I’m wrong, is not limited to literal verbal abuse).
The worse the harm, the worse the aveirah, so it’s a really bad one.
It means that at best, they rely on some leniencies which are not accepted as normative halachah, and at worst, the actual supervision is shoddy, if not altogether absent. I have stories about both.
Just curious, which rabbi runs Tablet-k?
“It’s fact at this point, nobody is debating teh existence of the program, just how far reaching it is and the legality of it”
Not true. Rand Paul has introduced a bill in the Senate to end the program.
Why would he end a program that doesn’t exist?
Charlie, I think you misunderstood.
My father does. I don’t. Do I have to be mattir neder?

Wait why are we just being proud of all the not frum ones?
I don’t know if it’s pride. I know some people are proud of the fact that Ike Davis (for example) is Jewish, but even someone who’s not proud of it (e.g. yours truly) can find it a matter of mild interest.
Bloombergs mother is jewish
What I heard is that her father was, but not her mother. Again, just something I heard without confirming.
because it implies equal obligation.
It’s got nothing to do with equality, but saying “v’tzivanu” when not obligated is a matter of debate among the Rishonim.
I didn’t know Limbaugh was Jewish.
Someone told me that Bloomberg’s not, but I haven’t been able to confirm.
Few people willing to shell out for a 1st class ticket will do so without getting miles in return.
They would to save money.
You would not get back the money you gave your travel agent, unless the agent themselves gave it back to you.
But either way you’d be stuck without a ticket.
That doesn’t make sense on 2 levels.
First of all, if the broker got the miles back, why couldn’t they give you back your money?
Secondly, why couldn’t they just buy the customer another ticket with the miles?
Um…pretty sure DaasYochid was making a joke…
Or at least trying…
In my quest for authentic kosher Italian cuisine
If you’re using fake beef or cheese, how can it be authentic?
Anyhow, broccoli is parve, and shouldn’t be so complicated.
Also, you spelled it wrong.
🙂
Actually, your extra candles might be a variation on the reason brought by kita ches rebbe.
We add an extra candle as a z’chus that a newborn child should become a talmid chochom or be married to one.
As brought in the Seforim Hakedoshim, getting married is a segulah to have children. You wrote “as a symbol of my hope”, so if you mean as a z’chus, you’re not too far from an accepted minhag.
Rd, the only issue I see (unless Sam proves otherwise, and despite my previous post) is that when you get married, iy”H may it be at the right time, your wife will be your “shaliach” and will only light two, so you’ll be reducing the number.
Anyhow, it’s too late to turn back now.
The only eitzah for you is to marry a woman who has two children. 😀
My cousin lights one hundred and twenty eight candles. Two for zochor v’shomor, and the rest, one for each girl he’s gone out with.
I guess that explains the cleat marks and cigarette butts.
the only open-minded posters on this thread.
To paraphrase R’ Gifter, some people are so open-minded that their brains fall out.
I love being on the same side as Sam. It’s awesome.
PBA: It feels good to be right once in a while doesn’t it? 😛
:-))
Well done, boys.
you all are the reason why there are so many people leaving frumkeit today.
If you had even the slightest inclination towards the truth, you would acknowledge that “we all” are not losing our youth to frumkeit in nearly the same numbers as “you all”.
I can’t imagine what the unedited version of your post looked like.
I’ve let Feif know my thoughts.
I’d love to see him back.
More loosely defined as anywhere you can’t get Cholov Yisroel.
It’s exactly equidistant between somewhere and somewhere else.
Shopping613, which song are you looking for?
I found it on Dartmouth. I don’t think I ever had that album. It seems it was a cassette release .
What other songs were on that album? I have two Amudai Shaish double records, and it’s on neither.
