When you’re in the middle of telling a story, and someone interrupts you, it’s poor tale manners. (Haifa – time for a new keyboard 🙂 ).
Not a good idea. An open invitation for sickos.
I know that pantsuits are not universally agreed upon; my point was that those who don’t wear them (virtually all chareidim and many modern orthodox as well) don’t refrain because of dignity issues.
Haifa, obviously, some grammar is necessary for communication, but not nearly to the degree that you insist upon. Almost every correction I’ve seen you make was on a comprehensible post or article.
Gavra,
What do you wonder?
Also, trousers are untzniusdik for a different reason (the same reason. women don’t ride normally on animals).
So you ate my sandwich?
Ben,
Of course there’s an inyan of dignity/kavod haShechina, but that even applies to the home, where nobody sees. I’m discussing where it’s in front of men (not her husband).

See ?”? that ????? ?? ?? is only if she’s ????? him, or if there’s ??????. Why would it be ?? ??? unless ????????? it’s ???????
Twisted, I assumed so, so there would be no issur even there’s kosher meat and milk, since the only issur of mixing is through bishul (unlike eating, where there’s an issur d’rabbanan to eat a mixture).
The research distinction (rd) is what makes no sense to me.
Gamanit, not simple at all. You’re using a keili, so unless you’re drinking directly from the filtering device, it’s likely assur.
Covering the hair is a completely different sugya; it’s not about tznius.
Of course it is – sa’ar b”isha ervah. The gezeiras hakosuv is needed to give it the issur, because it’s less of a taavah than other things, and is muttar for single girls, but at the end of the day, it’s still ervah, and is tznius related.
It’s also completely illogical to say that the full hair covering, which is das Yehudis and explicitly tznius based, is because of tznius, but the partial hair covering which is das Moshe, is not.
Yitayningwut,
My point is that the inyan of tznius is obviously more than just not sticking out, otherwise there would be no need for a das Yehudis.
Sam, thanks. I find that often, when a posek lists a number of reasons to be meikil, it’s because none of them are iron-clad.
I would definitely think that it’s better to prepare all drinking water before Shabbos.
By definition, it gets anyone who writes as they speak off the hook.
Yes, it should be d’Oraisa.
There’s a Minchas Yitzchak, IIRC, who is mattir certain filters which operate whenever the water is turned on, such as a whole house filter.
I was told not to rely on this heter except b’shaas had’chak.
Aside from other issues, you’ve completely overlooked the concept of “das Yehudis”, which is quite obviously a higher standard for us than what is found in the broader society.
Oh Shreck!,
It is indeed a serious shailah. There may be heterim for certain types of filters, but it’s best to prepare enough drinking water before Shabbos.
Netilas yadayim water isn’t a problem.
NYC is pretty much alone in the copepod problem due to them having a different filtration system than most other major US cities
Or not having a filtration system…
Syag, you knew that R’ma?
WC,
Not applicable here; “Grammar Nazi”, as offensive as it may be, is a recognized expression.
If there ever were copepods.
If?
Dovnyc,
“business risk” is not a halachicly sufficient barrior to ensure the reliability of the kashrus.
Yes it is. See R’ma Y.D. 114-5
halacha demands that even if a non-Jew simply DELIVERS meat or wine (that was fully prepared by Jews) it must be double-sealed
That din does not apply to baked goods.
My previous comments were not meant from a strictly halachic perspective, I was just pointing out why someone might be more comfortable buying from a store with a hechsher, or buying sealed items.
On a side note, why does your posting style seem so familiar?
but I don’t see what they (or Toi) found objectionable
Nor do I, and I just wanted to have JMH’s back on this, because it’s an unsettling feeling to be accused of being inappropriate, and he’s totally innocent.
It’s not l’chatchilah, because it’s difficult to concentrate.
Just be aware that there are halachic issues with davening outdoors or in a public place.
Mostly, to have fun. We enjoy the discussion.
Truthsharer,
If they ran out, maybe they would.
I thought cheese was made without heat.
Rd, why would an issur d’Oraisa, if bishul was involved, become muttar for research?
*there
Rd, is it the same machlokes as regarding gelatin?
I also assumed that about the donuts, which is why I asked about muffins.
How can one be sure that they only use the kosher muffins? Are they contractually proscribed from using muffins from elsewhere?
Is their heat involved?
In your previous post, you omitted the “b” from “bother”.
You might still have time to fix it.
Edit: Good, you did have time.
C’mon, guys, it’s one thing to criticize her when she interrupts a discussion by scolding someone for poor grammar, but in this context, the attacks are unwarranted .
I’m going to defend Haifagirl now, because I’ve seen less of her corrections than previously, and this was about a news article, not directly at a poster.
(Yes, I know, fewer. 🙂 )
Sam, can you provide a source for that Yaavetz? Pretty counter-intuitive; this “puzzle” is probably the hechrech for an international dateline.
Well, if popa is average, then I would say it is higher in our community.
Good LSAT marks.
Sam, I think you misunderstood me. I didn’t mean that being oiver an issur automatically is a violation of the kesuvah; it’s just that it’s implied that a halachic violation of tznius, which is assumed at the time of marriage was accepted (except, according to R’ Schachter, apparently, where she’s not frum) will be in violation of the kesuvah.
That’s okay, you give lousy shalach manos anyway. Why do you think I gave you the salami sandwich?
If someone is offended by poor grammar, should we stop using it?
Now that “retarded” is an insult, it is no longer used to describe low intelligence; we use the term “developmentally disabled”. Since we no longer use it to describe people with limited intelligence, nobody should take offence if it’s used.
I meant the ones Chaza”l identified as ervah, asmachta or otherwise.
Golfer, sure, but I think once he realized how Facebook is commonly used, he wanted no part of it.
Sam, that’s not a stirah to what I said. If he knew she wasn’t keeping halachah when they got married, then in that case it wasn’t part of the implied contract.
Yitayningwut,
The things called “erva” in the passuk are absolute, otherwise there’s no reason for the Gemara to point to them. Everything would be talui in minhag hamakom.
The Ria”z is not saying pshat in the gemara per se, he’s saying what the halachic nafka minas are.
You wrote earlier that there’s a chilluk between issur v’heter and the momonus of the kesuvah. You’re wrong, though, because there’s no explicit contract on das Yehudis; things which are assur (tznius related or if she’s machshil him) cause her to lose her kesuvah.
JMH, cleats are baseball shoes (he referred to a baseball bat…).
Rd, do you know what koach d’heteira adif actually means? It seems not; you are using it to mean that we always follow the lenient approach. It doesn’t, and we don’t.
Health never claimed to be a doctor.
