☕ DaasYochid ☕

metrodriver,

I don’t understand the point you were trying to make (I’m not disagreeing, just trying to figure it out).

SJS,

I’m not defending their actions, I didn’t see the sign, and I have no idea if it was done l’sheim shomayim or not. Your analogies, however, are way off. You can’t compare right with wrong, just because it’s someone’s opinion! You can’t compare my lack of sympathy to someone who puts up an inappropriate picture to sympathy for a shul on which a swastika was painted; it’s a ridiculous comparison, unless you don’t believe that anything is inherently wrong.

I actually tried posting a different site, but my post wasn’t approved so I posted the internal link to YWN which always gets approved. I personally only use computers with Hebrew installed and stickers affixed, so I have no opinion on which is better,

I, for one, think that anything that advocates breaking the law of the land, whether it’s “halachically permissible” or not, should be taken down and/or blocked.

So any mention of doing a bris milah in Communist Russia or R’ Akiva being moser nefesh to teach Torah should be banned from Yeshiva World?

Or, you can do like popa:

We can’t expect non-Jews to live by OUR ideals.

We CAN expect them not to offend our sensibilities in our neighborhoods. Yes, I know, we don’t own the neighborhood, but it’s downright obnoxious to put up such signs in a neighborhood with a high concentration of religious Jews.

They deserve absolutely no sympathy.

And let’s face it, they know it’s immoral as well. Only a few years ago, these types of signs were unacceptable even for non-Jews. The unfortunate decay in societal morals does not change the intrinsic immorality.

I once said to a stranger, “hi or good morning” and he just kind of looked at me funny.

real-brisker,

I thought you had left; I didn’t nominate you because there’s a residency requirement.

Rabbi Yaakov Emden didn’t accept it. And as I pointed out, many other codifications of the Rema have not been accepted. And the Rema never codified that massive expansion of the definition of kitniyot we’ve seen in the past generations.

I know that there is some debate about how far the issue of kitniyos extends; my point remains that one can’t disregard his own p’sak just to be able to eat in someone else’s home (unless his p’sak allows for that, as pba mentioned earlier).

The example of the dishwasher was, in my opinion, one in which even one who follows a p’sak not to rely on a certain heter might do so because of the halachos of blios. Pba’s example would also be valid; a situation in which one held that meikar hadin something is muttar.

However, in a situation that involves a clear issur according to one’s rov (or a talmid chacham’s own p’sak), there is no room for such a compromise. I naively assumed that kitniyos for an Ashkenazi in a Sefardi home would be an example that everyone could agree to.

Second of all- maybe a lot don’t demand it after they are married, but a lot demand XY&Z before they get married; sometimes this includes a house amongst the Nadin!

In which case, the parents could have refused then and turned down the shidduch. If they chose to go ahead with it, they shouldn’t complain now. (And I don’t think this is common either.)

Charlie,

What has been accepted IS the Rema’s codification!

I’m not sure why you and Gavra At Work feel that a dishwasher’s relative low cost compared to a house is reason to disregard Feif Un’s rov’s p’sak that he doesn’t need a new one. For one thing, it’s his rov’s p’sak! (To quote someone who I consider to be wise, “And anyone who says you should do anything other than what your rav says isn’t orthodox.”

Also, some people I know stretch themselves quite thin (financially) when they buy a house, and that’s a time when they specifically need to pinch pennies.

GAW,

An additional factor is that it’s also costly to have the dishwasher installed.

SJS,

If we’re discussing a family with eight kids, they will most likely not be close in age, and there’s just not enough time in the day to teach them. As far as your point regarding incremental costs and adding classes, that’s why i said depending on the community, meaning if the classes aren’t already all filled to capacity.

??? ???? is ????? a ??? which is ???? ?????

If you already asked the sheila, what was the answer?

You’re probably the type that reads the last page of a mystery first. 🙂

As far as your specific case, you may just want to replace the dishwasher.

Why should he? His rov said he could kasher it. He’s concerned about serving others who may not hold of this p’sak, but I don’t think anyone who would otherwise eat in his house would refrain because of the dishwasher (as I explained before).

I don’t know what the picture was, but oomis inadvertantly brought up a good point; that sign along Rockaway Boulevard took several months until it came down, despite the owners being contacted and lots of political pressure.

Bottome line? If you want something done, do it yourself.

There are plenty of people who get money from others- whether they demanded it or not, I don’t know.

I would assume, based on my experience, that most, if not all did not demand it. And if they were given it willingly, would you have such an issue with it?
