    Thank you, Winnie.

    In other words, perhaps the parents were carriers, but in the child it won’t be picked up by tests because it needs to be developed before it’s picked up by tests…

    If the genetics are the same, the test results should be the same.

    Sorry but I don’t grasp what is being said here? Am I understanding properly that Dor Yeshurim can not test for LOTS?

    According to how I understand Winnie’s very informative post, the test would show positive for Tay Sachs, but not specifically for Late Onset Tay Sachs.

    the young man and woman’s numbers were compatible

    I’m confused. How does this work? The child can have the disease even if the parents weren’t carriers?

    The Nitei Gavriel in perek beis, halacha tes (hilchos chanuka) brings down a psak regarding an almana who is supported from nicsei yesomim, that the yesomim must provide her with funds for neiros chanuka and enough for her to light according to the mehadrin opinion if she chooses. His sources are brought down.

    Are you addressing the issue of women lighting Chanukah candles? Everyone agrees that a woman living alone is obligated to light.

    The rebbetzen refused to give it to him during the year of time when their was no clear successor to Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak (presumably because he was not yet confirmed as the seventh Lubavitcher Rebbe).

    What about after he became rebbe?

    It’s not true that an eruv doesn’t work in reshus horabim. If it were true then you couldn’t carry in your house!

    Or don’t get a watch at all. I didn’t get a watch in the yichud room and, according to most poskim, my marriage is still valid despite that.

    If all that was being asked was about a valid marriage, they wouldn’t need a singer, flowers, or a wedding hall either.

    You don’t need to spend $1500 on a watch.

    There are a bunch of websites which sell watches at wholesale prices, and you can get a very respectable watch for $500-$800.

    I have said at least twice, that if there is even one comment, or one article, that had milim bishim, which means lashon hara, sinas chinam, whatever it is, any kind of thing that is asur to say, it is therefore not worth the entire web site. Are we clear on that?

    I’m not ch”v defending l”h, but why is that true? If someone once spoke l”h in a house, does that make the entire house worthless? If a person ch”v speaks l”h, does that make his whole life worthless?

    It’s your assumption that they’re trying to broadcast their heilgkeit. Why aren’t you dan l’kaf z’chus that they’re trying to be mechazek their kids (or themselves) in trying to uphold higher standards against the tide?

    The fact that people only want to daven in “THAT” shul is very likely because they daven better, there’s less talking, or a better environment. The fact that they only use “THAT” hashgocha is likely because they have higher standards.

    I’m sorry if you’re encountering people who are being baalei gsavah about their standards of frumkeit, but it’s so unfair to generalize.

    There is a difference between quiletly going to the store and only buying chalav yisroel products, that basically only your family knows about and it, Telling the whole world what a Helig yid you are because Chalav Stam never touched your lips

    With exception of Joseph on the CR, I have almost never encountered such a thing.

    The closest I’ve seen to that is in kids, particularly those who recently took on chumros their parents didn’t. They usually get over that within a couple of years.

    Does it ever occur to you that it is somewhat amazing that there are 60,000 Jews willing to undertake an arduous trip to the middle of the Ukraine. To leave their families, their homes, their comfort to spend a week there for Yom tov. To pay lots of money to find somewhere to stay, for the flights, the food for Yom tov, the Mikveh, a place in a shul to daven, taxis etc. Is there another gathering anywhere like it? Is there another gathering at home anything like it?

    Did it ever occur to you that some of their families don’t appreciate being abandoned for Yom Tov?

    Being מושך בערלתו is quite a drastic step. Not doing do doesn’t prove you’re happy with the מילה.

    I’ll give you an example. You go to buy a used car. You find one that’s affordable to you, large enough for your family, and the model you want, with low mileage.

    The only problem is, it’s green, and you really don’t like green.

    You’ve checked four dealers, and nobody else has the model you want with the other factors that make you want this one. So you go ahead and buy it. It doesn’t prove that you like green, it just proves that you don’t hate it enough to spend the extra effort, time and/or money to find the car you want in a different color.

    I dont see the connection. One is a personal bracha and one is a klall bracha.

    Why would that make a difference? Either way, it’s a bracha which the person answering amen could never say on their own, yet can still affirm someone else’s bracha.

    Also why would you answer a question with s question?

    Why wouldn’t I?

    My goal in my last comment was to make the same point you just made, in response to comments that implied one was worse than the other.

    Baloney. Had you meant to agree with me, you would have ignored the analogy regarding the severity of suffering, or just said it’s irrelevant to the point you were making.

    Instead, you decided to minimize the tremendous suffering of victims of abuse.

    Joseph, it’s silly to compare the two subjects and opine which is worse.

    Stick to pointing out that the threshold for accepting anecdotal evidence is being applied unevenly. There’s nothing to be gained, though, by comparing the pain people must endure. When you say A is worse than B, it only comes across as unfairly and ignorantly minimizing the pain of B.

    That has been demonstrated in accumulated anecdotal data, and there is even more formal data from surveys among mental health professionals.

    The same assertion can be made regarding shidduchim, just substitute the word “shadchanim” for “mental health professionals”.
