I figure if kavod shabbos is enough to be doche the issur of shaving, it is probably an important enough inyan that I should do it even though I’m lazy. I look pretty awful.
Can you post a picture so that we can judge?
We are the masters of the work-around – Pruzbul, selling chometz, charging interest to non Jews
How is charging interest to non Jews a loophole (work-around)?

With Lag B’omer on the way, and the heter to take haircuts on Friday l’kovod Shabbos, clicking on my screen name might be helpful.
Shkoyach popa!
If the guy asked about her tznius clearly he does care about it
There are people who care about it, but their standards do not conform to halachah.
Good point. I don’t think my filter allows it.
Anyhow, it seems you were doing edits on random articles. In three days, you should be good to go.
With regard to the stomach piercing problem, where records are kept and the company KNOWS which cows are treifos, I don’t see how we could deliberately turn a blind eye. A Rav at that point in the process could not pasken on that cow that it is mutar when he knows that the company has records of it being a treifa.
He’s not there when it’s milked, so he’s not “turning a blind eye”. I don’t know that the company’s “yediyah” is halachically significant.
This is why the problem might be worse, potentially, for CY milk (except that AFAIK they remove those cows for CY milk).
But do we ever say that the rov is a super strong 60-1 rov? And if it was, you’d expect some discourse on it with R’ Meir who doesn’t hold of rov except in super majority cases.
As per my previous post, this rov has nothing to do with specific numbers, so it wouldn’t be subject to this machlokes.
FTR, AFAIK there are some gedolei haposkim who say like benignuman reported above from R’ Reisman, that the stapling causes a problem, because those treifos are known in advance.
It is a very valid reason to be makpid on CY today even if you hold of R’ Moshe’s heter.
R’ shechter’s holds this to no longer be true and that rov cows are treifa.
Unless you do x-rays on the cows (which there is no chiyuv to do), the halachah assumes rov are not treifos. The fact that rov cows are found to be treifos after shechitah is of no halachic import; extrapolation is statistically important, not halachically significant. (This is how I understand R’ Elyashiv’s reported response to R’ Schachter).
There is no pssible way for the metzius to change; rov is not a statistic (which is subject to change), it’a a “chok hateva”, as recorded in chaza”l, and can never change.
Or, to say it a bit differently, we don’t know the status of the cow at the time of milking (even though the company does know).
Since there’s no way to know from which cows a particular container of Guida’s milk came from, it might be muttar based on rov, even though the company had records.
I hear. My solution isn’t necessary for R’ Schachter’s problem, though, since rov isn’t governed by statistics (another way of saying what ubiquitin said).
R’ Chatzkel Roth is mattir even though the procedure makes treifos. I’ll try to research why.
Is there a justification for lying to solicit tzedokoh?
???? ? ??
No, I meant that it’s not as simple as one random loaf per person.
Bottom line: the panicking is a lack of bitachon. The hishtadlus to even the numbers is not.
I don’t know how to use an IP proxy.
Add this:
Although in June 2009, Weiss created the title MaHaRaT for Sara Hurwitz, he did not call her a rabbi, and is of the opinion that she is not as capable as a male, stating, “She can do 95 percent of what other rabbis do”.[29]
Brony, do you think covering knees is halachic?
The only way to get out of this problem is to hold like Rabbi Belsky
Or, to hold that since the rov already paskens on the milk before it mixes, the percentage is irrelevant.
I once had one that called me up. I did not give and then I received a few days later a letter thanking me for my pledge and an evelope for the donation along with an amount circled
This only happened once? It happens to me regularly.
Here’s the problem. The legitimate tzaddakos hire fundraising telemarketing companies. The callers make a commision. There is no option in the software they use to send an envelope with no pledge, so the caller, who wants his commision, marks down a bogus pledge.
I don’t like it, but I’ve learned to be thick skinned and ignore it.
Apushatayid, yes that is another fallacy in this moshol.
(There are those such as R’ Hershel Shachter who hold this rov to no longer hold true in the US and therfore avoid milk altogether
Is there anyone besides him?
DaasYochid; Right – I was not asking a halachic question (at least I don’t think I was).
Actually, you were, and should definitely speak to an expert in hilchos loshon hora.
What I’m suggesting is that the caller wasn’t necessarily asking a halachic question. In other words, let’s say the caller’s standards are sub-halachic. If the girl has the same standards, then that’s really all the caller is asking for.
Again, that’s my opinion for the sake of discussion, but I think you need a psak on this.
Anyway, I think we will go with chanasara’s advice for now.
It might be sound advice, but I just want to point out that you initially rejected the idea. I quote from your OP:
“If she would have asked the caller what he’s looking for, or say that there are different standards of tznius, that would already raise a red flag.”
Well, I assumed you were making a joke to dodge the question.
I think you might as well assume that he was making a joke when he said that he started a kiddush club.
Am I wrong to propose that talking on a cellphone cannot be defined as tsanua or otherwise, but that it depends on how it’s done: politely and safely, or the opposite?
Not in my opinion.
That’s right. They put in the pig’s milk in Mexico and then export it to the US.
Is this potentially considered loshon hara/ motzi shem ra?
I suppose if someone might take my comment 100% literally, it would be.
DY, I don’t understand your post.
That’s correct.
You are equating someone who smokes to someone who talks on a cell phone?
No
So you would turn down a shidduch for your son of you heard the girl has a cell phone?
No
Good luck finding a shidduch.
Thank you.
Also, I am quite the pro gun morah.
I’ll bet those kids never talk without raising their hands!
See, my point wasn’t about guns, about smoking, or about cell phones. My point is about dismissing possibly important issues just because there are more important issues.
They don’t put pigs milk in with cows milk in the US.
That’s right. They put in the pig’s milk in Mexico and then export it to the US.
Talmud – so has my grandmother.
I think it would be awful if we started answering halachik questions with subjective answers.
Yes, and my point is that it’s not a halachic question. No matter how it’s worded, it’s a question of compatible standards, so, not knowing the caller, it’s an impossible question to answer.
It really wouldn’t be so far fetched to say that it was indirectly caused by Zionism. Arafat ym”s was the father of modern day terrorism.
And Moderator 007?
I think Goq’s right. It’s not the gezeirah of cholov aku”m, it’s the treifah issue.
This is why it’s worth spending a few extra bucks to buy from someone who actually knows what he’s talking about.
Toi, long time no see – I’m not getting into that. It wasn’t my point. I was giving an example which a female poster can appreciate, likely l’shitasah.
Anyhow, should we ignore it if a guy has guns, just because there are worse things? What about smoking guns?
Syag, I think you are missing the point (so there! 🙂 ). The caller is not asking a halachah shailah, (s)he’s asking a shidduch question. You’re supposed to answer the question according to the intent, not necessarily the technically correct answer.
Gefen, she could just say that there are different standards of tznius.
WIY, writersoul, and Syag, the question isn’t necessarily about halachic standards, it’s about the caller’s (or the boy’s) standards. If there’s a chance that his standards are sub-halachic, it still might be a good shidduch.
AFAIK, there’s no issur of lifnei iver for the one giving information if the girl dresses according to the boys’ standards, even if they’re not l’halachah.
Anyhow, I changed my mind – it’s a good analogy. If you eat the bread you get dogitis. (See T613’s kitzur thread and popa’s isru chag thread.)
which proves my point.
??
Gefen, moot point for this case if the caller doesn’t know your daughter, but if she did, since tznius standards differ, she probably would be asking your daughter’s opinion according to her own standards.
Well anyhow, Talmud asked me if I thought you were an old lady.
I know plenty of creepy married guys.
Tough one. If the caller knows your daughter, it might be fair to assume that their standards are your daughter’s standards.
73, so I guess you can restore Talmud’s post.
Ratio of buyers to bread is stable. It just doesn’t look like that if you come in the middle of the day, it looks like there’s way more bread than buyers.
The problem is that it looks that way at the end of the day too.
So you’re saying it looks like there are more girls because they are fat?
kol (literally)
Would you say that we should leave boys who smoke alone because there are worse things in the world?
If it’s not tzniusdig, it’s not tzniudig. (I happen to not think it’s untzniusdig, but I still don’t think it’s smart.)
Things aren’t ok just because there are worse things.
Yes, because it’s indirect. You’re not giving them money. They can’t buy food with it.
