I’ve never seen … a bright red … date, have you?
Try telling a guy you’re going out with that you know his CR screen name.
I’m sure the owner would notice if that was happening.
Not necessarily, if the price he’s paying isn’t a reduction in hits, rather inhibited growth.
Maybe a jeweler can smooth the edges. I don’t know if they are anti-tarnish treated, and if it can be re-treated.
I am not aware that silver stores sell ataros, I thought in Judaica stores. Unless there’s a market for used ataros, you’ll only get paid according to the weight of the silver (and not 100%).
Is something in the coffee today?
Still there.
Was that section writen by a YCT grad?
A used atarah has little value. Just buy a new one, and maybe the store owner will agree to call it a “trade-in” and take some money off just to make the sale.
Gavra, you’re being too kind.

R’Moshe requires separate seating at weddings.
Forget oral testimony/rumor, he is mattir in Igros Moshe.
The legal aspect is important. It’s a different kind of defiance to buy an illegal substance. Also, the mind altering aspect is important, although in that regard, you could compare alcohol.
It’s hard to say that some of our biggest gedolim were “drug addicts”. The term has a much more negative connotation than the term “heavy smoker”.
Are we talking nicotine or marijuana?
a bochur would tape cigarettes to the walk in his dorm and then go out and smplease after night Seder.
no capisco
Benignuman, to be fair, did not actually say that mechitzsa is d’Oraisa, rather that the problem it addresses is. It’s semantics, though, I think.
Charlie, if you understand it as a couple of posters (Sam2 and Benignuman) have explained it, all of your questions fall away.
The chiyuv to build a mechitzah (either a wall or balcony) in a situation where kalus rosh is likely, is d’Oraisa.
42, the Democrats and Republicans have them; why shouldn’t Shas?
Done.
I also have it. I will bl”n email it to Feif.
Yekke2 is correct.
Is it a Mitzvas Aseh, or Mitzvas Lo Saaseh?
Aseh.
What is the Mekor of the Mitzva?
Vihiyisah meshugah.
What is the Schar for the Mitzva?
Schar mitzvah mitzvah (more mashkeh).
Are you saying that a mechitza is not halachically required in a shul?
I think he’s saying that it’s only d’rabbonon.
(Bimchilas Kevodo,
lol
I think DY misspoke when he said that those who hold it was D’Oraisa said it was there in Mayis Rishon).
Yes, that was a mistake.
How many times must this be repeated:
The kalus rosh which necessitates a mechitzah is commonly caused by large gatherings.
You’re right that historically this kalus rush wasn’t observed in the Beis Hamikdash until bayis Sheini, but had it been observed earlier, there would have been a chiyuv mid’Oraisa to separate the men and women in a manner which would solve the problem.
Amen, thanks!
You sent them to Feif Un 🙂
Yes, but I figured if you had them, you would have given them to him.
Not true; it is required for devarim she be kedushah.
Actually, the requirement for the mechitzah is only with both conditions. Technically, a mechitza is not required for a minyan at a chasunah, for example.
And as mentioned it is really hard to say that it is more than a d’rabbanan since there wasn’t one in the beit hamikdash until late in Bayit Sheni times
That’s circular; if you hold it’s d’Oraiso, you assume it was there during the first bayis as well.
One could have argued that separation was required because of kol isha.
but nobody is saying that those who really learn all day long should be drafted
Any quota flies in the face of that.
A brachah for nachas from my kids, and for arichas yomim, please. And may any brachah you offer be granted to you as well.
My point was that a mechitzah is not required any place women can come, it’s required in “gathering places”. If you can accept that, you’ll see that the question you pose is no difficulty at all.
My best understanding is that there are too many Pizza shops for a single Menahel to cover his own students.
and,
If the menahelim of the various yeshivos will be at these pizza stores, then they can watch for improper mingling. Therefore, there is no reason why a bocher can’t get a slice after a few hours Motzei Shabbod (or Shabbos afternoon) learning in the BM.
I think these two posts answer each other.
The point is not hashgochah temidis. The point is mirsus.
Some women are hard of hearing. I assume they sit in the aural section.
Did you get the Ruach Revival albums I sent? There were some errors, so I resent some songs.
I certainly don’t know it offhand.
There’s a free (ad generating) app lock (probably more than one).
ROB, they weren’t “gathered”. A shul is, by definition, a gathering place.
It was offensive (and undeserved, IMO).
It was also a cop out.
I thought it was a great article. Now if we could just can the bigotry against modern orthodox and religious Zionists expressed by some commenters in forums like this….
A comment like that serves to reduce achdus, and negates the positive effect of the article.
The same way referring to it on Yeshivah World is to no positive gain. (It’s the kind of thing Joseph would do.)
I would hope that such attitudes are only prevalent in immature students, but are eventually outgrown.
No, Sam, they took it from our minhag from Pesach.
Hopefully, your responsibility to your employer will supersede your “addiction”.
You can always delete the games, and download an app blocker to disable the ability to downlad games.
Dr. Bakay,
Let’s say you have two esrogim. One is beautiful, which is preferred, for hiddur mitzvah. However, it might come from a tree which was grafted, so its kashrus is questionable.
Your other esrog is plain looking, but is unquestionably kosher. The obvius thing to do is to take both, but R’ Chaim’s question is which one should be take first.
He says to take the nicer one first, with the following reasoning:
If the first (nicer) one is indeed kosher, you’ve done the mitzvah b’hiddur, in the best possible way. Taking the second esrog is unnecessary, but harmless.
If the first one was not kosher, there was no harm in taking it (if the second one was taken immediately after the first, presumably the brachah can be applied to the second one, and there’s no hefsek), and you are yotzei the mitzvah with the second.
If, however you first take the one with impeccable “yichus” (definitely not grafted), you are yotzei the mitzvah right away, and the mitzvah can only be done once (per day). Taking the nicer one afterward has no benefit; according to R’ Chaim, you can’t add hiddur mitzvah to a mitzvah which you were already yotzei.
there is a difference between being proud of something you earned and something that was not earned
I don’t know if “proud” is a perfectly accurate term, but it’s like being proud of being Jewish, which, aside from geirim, is not earned.
I am not in opposition to our practice, but there must be intellectual honesty.
Are you insinuating that R’ Moshe and R’ Yoshe Ber weren’t being intellectually honest?
I don’t understand why anyone is questioning Oomis’ motive in defending her family’s lineage. She is correct in being proud of it.
That was the Motzaei Shabbos recipe (think of your Carlebach thread).
Why would she want her family’s special status questioned?
Unless you eat Mars bars (you’ll have to switch to Earth bars).
Yes, excellent. In the redone version (the Yess Legacy), they removed those words. 🙁
Anyhow, regards to Feif. Please tell him that despite our differences, I never meant anything personally, and I hope I wasn’t part of the reason he left. Maybe invite him back for this pareve thread!
I do not think thegra is correct l’halachah, but at least he wasn’t logically inconsistent.
No, it’s only for motzei shabbos.
Well, then, can you please give us the real recipe?
