☕ DaasYochid ☕Participant
We are all ensnared by what the media portrays as attractive and we buy into this sheker.
Do you think that boys who have less exposed to secular media are less choler about appearance?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantGangnam Style, to sum up your post, you think that looks are important, but should nevertheless be disregarded. Is that correct?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantZD, are you implying that R’ Cahane was wrong?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWell, for one thing, they’re very unhealthy.
Also, hot dogs are usually associated with very casual fare, which I don’t think is optimal for Shabbos (although it’s certainly not assur, and eating them on Shabbos certainly doesn’t make one a rasha).
As part of a cholent, agav (BTW), I don’t think it has that casual, “chol” connotation.
Anyhow, I think I’m allowed to hope that others share my sensitivities, while respecting them even if they don’t. (This was actually the point I’d hoped to bring out with my trollish comment).
☕ DaasYochid ☕Participant☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantOomis, is it ASSUR for me to hope that people don’t eat hot dogs?
Wolf, will you posit that I am a rasha for hoping that people don’t eat hot dogs?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI hope not.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantYoya, yes. I know some of the people involved in that project. This is my small way of “contributing” to the project, which was done completely l’sheim shamayim to increase awareness of hilchos payos, and Y.W. Editor and moderators have been very kind to allow the link to remain.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantDo you like your troll thread?
My wife doesn’t. 😉 Thanks, though.
Also, don’t put yourself down; you are saying good pshat.
Don’t worry, I wasn’t. It just seemed that you also knew pshat, but just had a kasha on it.
☕ DaasYochid ☕Participantmyzmanim.com
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAlso, the gelilah thread was better. That one (snort) had me rolling.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantMy wife doesn’t let me comment.
☕ DaasYochid ☕Participant147,
Yes, I’ve heard that, and it seems the pashut pshat to me. It seems, though that the most widely used pshat is, “Why is this night different…”, which is not a fifth question, rather a summary of the four questions.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantApy, or ever.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAnd you deserve it; it was really your own pshat, you just mistakenly thought it was wrong.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantUh oh…
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAt that point in the gemara, trei gavni wasn’t an option, but once the gemara accepted trei gavni, that would be the trei gavni.
IOW, the gemara didn’t say (in the hava amina) that it was the same case; the gemara said it was too similar to be a different category.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantOr, better yet, ????? ??? ????.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantAnd gader is…. a different type of fence, e.g. completely attached, not needing lavud.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIt’s not really a t’nai.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantT613,
Whether tonight involved that specific havdallah is not the point; it is a significant havdallah to mention, just as is bein Yisroel l’amim and bein or l’choshech.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantYW,
I didn’t think anyone was disagreeing here.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI don’t know what “Halachic pi” means.
I meant it as the number three, which the Torah recognizes as a valid representation of pi (the right to approximate).
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantSam, others calculated the Tzlach’s (double) k’zayis as smaller.
My point isn’t about the actual shiur, though, it’s about the dimissive, disparaging attitude being displayed towards the Tzlach’s shittah.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantHere are the numbers:
The actual number for scientific pi is 3.14159.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantIn the ???? about the ?? ???? ????, there’s a ??? ???? on the word ??, which has an extra ?. The ratio between the ??? and the ???? is almost the same as the ratio between halachic pi and the scientific pi; using the pi yielded by this formula would be acceptable in any architectural application.
Heard ??? ???”? ???????
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantEven if it were different for matzah (I need to look that up), Matzos used to be thicker and softer.
Twisted, please, don’t throw the Nodah Bi’Yehudah and Mishnah Berurah, as well as the Chazon Ish under the bus.
Many posters here are ignoring the fact the larger shiur is based on major poskim who knew every source and sevara that any of us can think of.
If your rav tells you that you can be meikil, fine, but don’t disparage the very great people who had a more machmir approach, by implying that their shittos are c”v based on ignorance.
March 22, 2013 8:10 pm at 8:10 pm in reply to: Stuffing Your Face w/ Marror, Red as a Tomato #940632☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantSqueak, I’m with you here. These baalei gaavah think that what our ancestors have done for decades is backwards folly, and today’s advanced, secularly trained researchers (frum or otherwise) have a monpoly on truth.
This gaavah is what leads them to discard our mesorah.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantOk, ZD, you’re talking US. I guess you’ve never heard of WIC and food stamps. I know plenty of poor people in the US, and none are malnourished.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThegra, there is an obligation to have children. If you think paupers are exempted, YOU need to find the source. (Someone once tried to do that here, and needed to completely misrepresent a Gemara to do so.)
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantZD, where? There may indeed be poverty, but there are enough chessed organizations that I highly doubt there is actual malnutrition.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantPopa, I agree, and it should be pointed out that since we live in a more affluent situation than pre-war Europe, there are more people able to learn for longer periods of time, b”H.
March 22, 2013 7:32 pm at 7:32 pm in reply to: Give Tzedaka to Yeshiva or Chickens for Shabbos? #939688☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantVM, please look up the halachos in Shulchan Aruch and Ahavas Chessed before posting your own opinions, which really don’t count for anything.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantUbiquitin, I still don’t understand, but you might be making the same error as many others, that by definition, eating a k’zayis within k’dei achilas pras must be easy. What seems to be ignored is that our modern day matzah is much harder, and more difficult to chew and swallow, than bread, and the shiur of k’dei achilas pras is measured in bread.
ZD, those who have a hard time may indeed rely on the more lenient opinions, but you’re wrong for extending that to everyone.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantShiurim change year after year? Where does this naarishkeit come from? I intend ti eat the same amount that I have for many years.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantBS, a k’zayis l’chumrah is the same as two k’zaysim l’kulah, so it actually makes sense.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantUbiquitin, I don’t get your point either. Are you saying:
A) There’s an inyan to eat more than the minimum shiur
B) Since there are different opinions regarding how much matzah is considered a k’zayis, it’s best to eat enough to be sure.
I agree with B, and disagree with A.
March 21, 2013 1:23 pm at 1:23 pm in reply to: Give Tzedaka to Yeshiva or Chickens for Shabbos? #939683☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantBTW, I got a kick out of your idea that you don’t need to give the yeshiva any money because they already fundraise.
It reminds me of Yogi Berra; “Nobody goes there any more because it’s too crowded”.
March 21, 2013 1:18 pm at 1:18 pm in reply to: Give Tzedaka to Yeshiva or Chickens for Shabbos? #939682☕ DaasYochid ☕Participantwell, any ideas??
If this were for discussion, I would point out the two sides:
1) Supporting Torah has priority in Shulchan Aruch (although some posters seem unaware of this).
2) OTOH, Chickens is your regular tzeddakah.
Since this seems to be a real shailah, I will repeat: ASK A POSEK.
March 21, 2013 1:06 am at 1:06 am in reply to: Give Tzedaka to Yeshiva or Chickens for Shabbos? #939672☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWhy are you asking here?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThe actual shiur is a volume shiur, but matzah can be calculated by weight.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantModchebp, it’s your fault for calling him a top boy. You either lied or did poor research.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantVM and squeak, +1 (each).
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantThe “Kazies” gets bigger and bigger every year. Those sheets they give out are the maximum possible sizes
You’re talking about the shiur poster from the Oorah “Here Comes Pesach Blues” video, right?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantSnopes probably doesn’t believe that he confirmed it either.
March 20, 2013 1:25 pm at 1:25 pm in reply to: Don't Yell Challah in a Crowded Matzah Bakery! #939030☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantWas this written by Turx?
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantCAD, I agree with you. They should do all of their shopping and then get on line, so that the other customers can estimate which register has the quickest line.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantSam, thanks for making sure not to make my post look foolish. Also for the correction; Pesach was about to become even more expensive. 😉
Old man, very creative. A load of hogwash, but very creative.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantSqueak, tarnegoiles.
☕ DaasYochid ☕ParticipantI wrote Charmion. I meant Charlop.
