Let’s also pretend it’s not dangerous
Then can we also pretend you’re allowed?
Discussting
Thanks, to you as well!
The hotplate.
No, you are not allowed to unplug a hotplate on Shabbos.
Unplugging what?
Not all poskim agree to allow it, though.
(which would presumably also take care of שמא יחתה בגחלים).
The second issue would be מיחזי כמבשל, but some poskim are meikil when there’s no way of adjusting the heat level.
I’m confused. Why are you allowed to put cold food on it?
אין בישול אחר בישול בדבר יבש
Yekke2:
Note that you should tovel the disposables too if you use them more than once.
No, because, by reusing it, you are in essence the one who made it into a keli.
We make our own
Do you peel the cyclodextrin?
One maaleh of disposable diapers is that according to most poskim you don’t have to toivel them.
I know that cloth ends up being far cheaper in the long run
Not if you get addicted
I don’t eat kitniyos a whole year. I keep telling myself, “Is it really that difficult to forego kitniyos for another day or two?” then after a while, it’s Pesach again.
The ability to address the evidence requirement has merely been updatd to no longer require third-party eye-witness accounts.
Do these updates conform to Shulchan Aruch?
the Shulchan Aruch is guidance
No, the Shulchan Aruch is binding. Either try to make a case that the cases you witnessed do conform to the Shulchan Aruch, or that the batei din you refer to are performing sham gittin, but don’t try to pretend that contemporary batei din can validate a get consideted invalid by the Shulchan Aruch.
We’re no longer living in Biblical times.
I’m not sure what that means. It sounds like you’re saying that we don’t need to follow the Torah anymore, chas v’shalom?
Or perhaps you didn’t mean to relate it to what I said?
DY, He is not a kofer
Of course not, but it seemed to me that CS was saying he would be.
I’m not sure why you think the rest of what you wrote relates to what I said.
Yes, we should yearn for Moshiach, but we do mitzvos because that’s the ratzon of Hashem.
If someone yearns for Moshiach, but does mitzvos because Hashem commanded, is he a kofer?
Extremely difficult and extremely dangerous.
Yeah, but it’s so much fun!
They’re actually compressed shtreimlach.
Laskern, I’m so sorry to hear about your loss.
You didn’t answer any of my points
It seems to me that he answered everything when he correctly pointed out that the state and the land are two different things.
For some odd reason, the zionists never seem to get that and therefore keep on defending a secular, anti Torah government.
Yes. There’s no issur involved in wearing or not wearing a talis, whereas there potentially is regarding tefillin.
That being said, I know a non-Yekkishe family which moved to Washington Heights and the boys wore taleisim.
That reason was more probable in the time of the Gemara
You are making an assumption. Where do you get that from?
It is not I who called it senseless, it is you.
It it is not I who says we must still follow the minhag, it is the acharonim, as I posted above (Maharil quoted by Shaarei Teshuvah).
Smoking and cholov stam are horribly inapt analogies. If you would like me to explain why, I can, but I think you can figure it out for yourself.
Where’s Phil to decry “fake halachah”? Or is it okay as long as it’s not Joseph?
The term Chazal is normally used only in reference to Tanaim and Amoraim.
“Ilmalei Moreh Malchus, Ish Es Rei-aihu Chayim B’lo’o.”
“If not for fear of The King, Men would completely swallow up their neighbors alive”.I think you mistranslated that. It’s a gemara in Avodah Zarah, which quotes the mishnah in Avos.

דבר אחר מה דגים שבים כל הגדול מחבירו בולע את חבירו אף בני אדם אלמלא מוראה של מלכות כל הגדול מחבירו בולע את חבירו והיינו דתנן רבי חנינא סגן הכהנים אומר הוי מתפלל בשלומה של מלכות שאלמלא מוראה של מלכות איש את רעהו חיים בלעוIt is clearly referring to the (even secular) government, not l’havdil “The King”.
See שערי תשובה who says one who is lenient is a “poretz geder”.
Kitniyos are not chametz.
No, they’re kitniyos. The halacha is that one cannot abandon a full fledged minhag when the original reasoning behind it no longer applies, hence, it is assur for Ashkenazim to consume kitniyos under most circumstances, even today. By violating the minhag, one violates the halacha.
Who cares if Hillary won the popular vote? Maybe she would also have won if the presidential election was based on a game of Othello, but that’s not how we elect presidents.
Dinkins isn’t even the mayor anymore.
Also, if you saw something, you have an obligation to tell the kashrus agency/rav hamachshir.
I was at an ice cream shop with a pretty good hechsher, and saw the lady working there use the same utensil first in Milchig ice cream, than to Parve.
I didn’t say anything because she was already being mean to me (I can’t remember more than that, this was about a year ago) but never managed to figure out who the manager was…
EVEN a good hechsher, would not have stopped this.
This non-religious girl simply did not CARE.
A good hechsher would not allow her to work there.
What’s with all the Hawking hate?
Are we supposed to love BDS supporting kofrim?
Most criminals are without doubt students of theoretical physics
No shaychus.
and of course history has shown us how until Hawking came along all of mankinnd was theistic which obviously means they were the noblest of people, not to mention Tanach is full of references to the utter lawfulness of polytheistic societies.
We all know that some of the biggest atrocities have been committed in the name of G-d, but without belief in Him, there’s nothing compelling morality.
You also thought Trump had no chance of winning.
Ask him if he smokes. If he says yes, ask him what he smokes.
I guess it’s okay then that the Clinton News Network is unbalanced.
שמרתם את המצות is a פסוק”
The above pertains ONLY to the Matzos you are Yotzei, otherwise CT has a good point it is a Chumrah.I was addressing GH, not CTR, which is why I provided the quote in italics.
when many people ate Streit’s and Horowitz Margeretin matzos
Those same people probably didn’t cover their hair, etc.
I’m not judging them; their mesiras nefesh to be frum vastly exceeded ours, but it’s simply not fair to compare religious standards. We are simply more educated.
Where do chazal bring down that during yetzias mitzrayim and the subsequent time of dor ha’midbar yidden ate only shmurah matzoh?
ושמרתם את המצות is a פסוק
having a degree and a plan may sound good but at the end of the day you never know what will happen, the person with a job that is good “for now” can we/ Hashems help easily get a better one when he needs while the one with a degree can get stuck not finding the job and working at a simple one while his degree collects dust in the closet.
its all about Bitachon after all.👍
Yeshivis aren’t Torah teaching services. That’s what Totties do.
