    so why is everyone so against goyish music? please fill me in…thank you

    The objection people have to the lyrics should be obvious. The objection to the music itself is more subtle, but, to simplify, I’ll just point out that music is very powerful. It can bring various emotions, feelings, and attitudes. These can be inspiring, or c”v damaging to the neshama. Secular music to often is the latter.

    When is the customer given the rental agreement? Before purchase or after opening the package? The latter would be non-binding unless a return would accepted if the agreement is unacceptable to the customer.

    They know this, and usually, reference is made on the cover.

    You should discuss which topics are good to discuss on a date. When she asks for your opinion, you should say “discussing which topics are good to discuss on a date”. In theory, the conversation will never end, and you won’t have any “dead spots”.

    Let’s review some CR history. Eclipse was the heroine, Joseph the villain.

    Two points to ponder.

    1)Suppose eclipse logged on to hear her own live ‘Hesped’. You think she’d be able to restrain from replying?

    2)Imagine the Gevurah of Yosef to actually come out and say “Ani Yosef”, I am Joseph!

    RSRH,

    I don’t think the two interpretations are mutually exclusive.

    All of the imperfections are planned precisely, hence the imperfect world is in fact a perfect world.

    the apparent sinas chinam displayed towards one group of mispallelim, (in this case, Carlebach minyan)

    Maybe it’s those rose colored glasses of mine, but no one said (or at least most didn’t say) anything about the people who daven at a Carlebach minyan, just the davening itself.

    Who shows pictures at 30fps? NTSC is 24fps and pal is something else, but neither of them are 30.

    Film is normally 23.976 FPS but there are some systems that use 24 FPS

    PAL is 25 FPS

    NTSC is 29.97 FPS

    ATSC supports all of the above and adds 30, 50, 59.94, and 60 FPS

    At those other speeds, is there something inherently wrong? 🙂

    Wow, I can’t believe you CR members!!! As far as I’M concerned, it’s TOTALLY ASSUR to copy a CD without the producer’s permission.

    We’re discussing copying a CD, which you paid for, to use, for yourself, in a different location.

    If the producer is specifically makpid not to even copy even for yourself, then, depending on the terms of the sale (or “rental”), and which posek you ask, it might be a problem. I won’t buy such a CD; I want a copy in my computer, and a copied CD for the car.

    Most producers are not makpid.

    To those who consider nussach a mere anachronism worthy of consignment to ash heaps of history, answer this question: Are you similarly nonchalant and glib about trop? Why not? Whither goest nussach ultimately goes trop.

    Although I am not from that group (I think nusach is important), I neither see nor anticipate anyone reading from the Torah to a Carlebach tune.

    stop paying your rent if you are a tenant. let the landlord take you to court at which time you tell the court that you don’t have

    “quiet enjoyment” to which you are entitled.

    By withholding the rent, you are forcing landlord (which might be

    the upstairs person) to get involved and solve the problem. Otherwise, it will cost financially.

    Ask a shaila first.

    i think an apology from you is in order too, being a moderater doesnt mean u are always right your response was way over the top

    I don’t believe in double dipping, I think this only confuses things. If you date two boys or two girls at the same time, you wind up comparing one to the other and don’t give either one the full attention and chance they deserve ….”her eyes are prettier, he is taller, she dresses nicer, he has dimples, she is thinner, he is funnier, her hair is longer…..” you wind up making stupid comparisons that really have nothing to do with tachlis.

    I agree, and would add that one can also forget which one said what, and not have an accurate picture (and it could also lead to an embarrassing situation).

    I would add the caveat that sometimes due to circumstances, there might be an exception, e.g. someone is in from out of town.

    CS, as far as your friend telling you HER opinion based on the phone call, that was wrong, wrong, wrong! People do ask stupid questions but the guy in question might be a great guy even if his mother asks stupid questions. Your friend’s tainted opinion due to the phone call is foolish and should not be a reason not to go out with a guy that might be a real good match for you. Don’t make up your mind according to your friend’s opinion. IF the shidduch is redt to you, find out about the guy and forget about your friend’s opinion. The phone call and your friend’s reaction might be something the two of you can laugh about in the future, you never know.

    Agreed, unless it’s clear that the stupid questions are from the fellow himself (and it still might not be anything more than a small flaw in an otherwise solid character).

    BTW, I also sincerely believe that once someone has gone out with someone three times, they should NOT be considering anyone else until the budding relationship has come to some conclusion. One date does not make a relationship, but seeing someone more than a couple of times means there is SOMETHING there, and the potential should be respected and allowed to develop unhindered by other shidduchim.

    What happens if they both seem like a good shidduch?

    He is married now, B”H seems to be happy. Obviously it was bashert for him to marry the girl he married.

    Then why do you think it’s a real shame that they never met?

    Feif Un,

    A beautiful explanation.

    I think, though, that it fits better with the first p’shat which HaleiVi quoted from Rash”i, and he was looking to understand the second one.

    The explanation of the second p’shat, may I suggest, is that all mitzvos bein adam lamakom also include an aspect of bein adam lachaveiro, because kol Yisroel areivim zeh lozeh, so one person’s aveira affects the next person as well.

    They never did meet each other, and I make no apologies for feeling that this is a real shame.

    What happened, did that girl end up in an unhappy marriage?

    whatever it takes to get our single people married, should be considered, even if it means “double dipping”

    Do you mean agreeing to two shidduchim at the same time, or seeing two people at the same time?

    I think the rules seem to apply less as singles get older.

    I am not taking a strong stance on this issue at all, I merely stated that I’m “uncomfortable” because of Sacrilige’s reason, which, as I understood it, is that it’s hurtful to hear that a boy agreed to go out, and then less than a week later if she also agrees, he’s suddenly busy. On the other hand, as popa said, and you, I think, agree, why should he have to put his efforts to get married on hold for a week.

    I’m somewhere in the middle here; I think you and Sacrilege are on opposite sides.

    Taz, 95:14-15 is skeptical. He says if so it should be muttar if you wash your pot with soap that is made of non kosher fat as long as the soap contains ashes. He does not buy it.

    Does that mean it’s not a bubba maaseh?

    in reply to: Cholov Akum #772805
    ☕ DaasYochid ☕
    Participant

    Daas: Since the cholov akum makes the utensils treif (as you’ve said), how does even aino ben yomo help?

    I never said the cholov akum makes the utensils treif, I said it in a general sense; I would not call cholov stam treif. Besides the fact that there is more than one legitimate heter to rely on, R’ Moshe, although recommending one be machmir, clearly writes that one who relies on it is not a “m’zalzel b’issurim”. I dare say that referring to “cholov stam” as “cholov akum” degrades R’ Moshe and anyone who relies on the heter.

    how does even aino ben yomo help?

    Because b’dieved, an aino ben yomo does not make the food ossur, because the absorbed flavors become “pogum,” bad tasting.

    How can (some) people who are makpid on only eating CY, not be makpid on the utensils (considering the above issue)?

    Either because we assume that the keilim are aino ben yomo, or because they only accepted CY as a chumra, and excepted keilim. I don’t understand this second approach, but it seems to be common.

    And are you saying you can eat pareve food made with dairy equipment together WITH your fleishig meal, or only 5 minutes after your fleishig meal?

    It depends on whether the equipment was ben yomo or not, and, if I recall correctly, whether it’s in your mouth at the same time.

    There is also a distinction between if the food was intentionally made to be served with fleishig, which is why I originally limited my response to manufactured items.
