It does, but not the way many people think it does.
How does it, and how do many people mistakenly think it does?
Because you still can write a letter stick in in the iggris koidesh or go to the ohel . And you can get a answer in different ways. Like a video,a letter,a dream, someone asking/telling you something . There are hundreds of ways ….
Those aren’t ways in which he’s alive, those are ways in which you choose to interact with him as if he’s alive. You could do most of those with Elvis if you wanted to.
Did someone answer my question about “alive b’ruchnius” yet?
This is an example of people taking things too seriously
Or just not getting the joke.
DaasYochid – Can you clarify why you categorize the silly belief that someone who was niftar is still physically alive as being apikorsos? (L’havdil, are Jews who believe Elvis is alive apikorsum?)
The only logical reason I can think of for a mass belief that a man who clearly died according to any reasonable burden of proof (if he was married, his wife would be free to remarry, etc.) is that they think he’s immortal
The underlying psychology (lack of acceptance) might be similar to the Elvis phenomenon but it’s not the same hashkafically. I don’t think they’ve deified Elvis in any way. If they have, correct me.
Most women don’t have much time to learn.
I took the “we” as a general statement.
We spend most of our day ( around 7hrs of it) learning Gemara, with all the meforshim, including Reb Boruch Ber, Shiurei R Shmuel, R Chaim and many more.
I don’t know how many years bochurim keep this schedule, but it’s certainly fewer than even in the rest of the chassidishe velt, and certainly the yeshiva velt. That’s not even considering the difference in the schedule itself.
When I asked a Lubavicher chossid whether the benches in his beis medrash/shul were occupied with people learning at night, his answer was, “that’s not our focus”.
and we don’t have time to learn anything else…
Which is why nebach amaratzus is so rampant, and simple gemaras and Rambams are twisted out of their true meanings.
Some people (tzfati to be exact) believe the rebbe is alive bigashmious
So they’re stam apikorsim.
while everyone else believes he’s alive beruchnious.
More alive than Dovid Hamelech? Rashi? Rav Moshe Feinstein?
Most kollel yungerleit are not making big bucks
Which is precisely why it need not be considered a benefit, because tuition discounts are also given to non employees.
Reb Moshe also held that a tefach of her real hair showing in public was not assur. I don’t think (or hope) women are purposefully displaying a tefach of their real hair in public based on that.
He also acknowledged that he was arguing with the Chasam Sofer, and, based on how R’ Abadi quoted him, it seems he didn’t hold that any hair showing was l’chatchilah.
Unfortunately, many people do intentionally expose a tefach (being makpid on the Chazon Ish shiur, of course), and misapply the heter, which Rav Moshe explicitly says does not allow the tichel to be a tefach from the hairline, since the forehead is already two tefachim wide.
Based on the earlier discussion of Reb Moshe, it appears he only favored wigs over tichels by people who are at risk of not wearing the tichel correctly/fully, as I understand.
Which is most people who wear tichels.
I don’t think most women today are at risk for completely removing their tichels (which is why the Lubavicher Rebbe insisted on shaitels only), but some hair almost always shows.
again, it doesn’t matter what their children and grandchildren wear, that is a very weak way to prove anything
So you’re calling their daughters rebellious?
there’s no arguing with that
Um, yes their is.
IN THE VIEW OF MARAN HAGAON RABBI YOSEF SHOLOM ELYASHIV, SHLITA, IT IS PREFERABLE TO COVER ONE’S HAIR WITH A KERCHIEF RATHER THAN A WIG
IN THE VIEW OF MARAN HAGAON RABBI MOSHE FEINSTEIN, ZATZAL, IT IS PREFERABLE TO COVER ONE’S HAIR WITH A WIG RATHER THAN A KERCHIEF.
DY: Who taught you the rule, and/or where did you first hear about it?
I think it was part of a lullaby my mother used to sing to me when I was a baby.
Yes. If it falls on the floor, as long as you pick it up within 5 seconds, you can still eat it.
Why aren’t you asking your dentist these questions?
Because everyone knows that dentists aren’t infallible, so it makes more sense for her to figure it out for herself.
(correct me if I’m mistaken)
He is explaining why their wives wore tichels, but their daughters, with their blessings, wore shaitels.
Why is that reason to write off and dismiss how RYSE and RSZA conducted themselves?
How is he dismissing the way they conducted themselves?
I’ve not heard “left us” used for anyone else, and have seen zt”l used for others.
And gimmel Tammuz is when the rebbe left us .
Left us? He went on vacation? Why can’t you just say it normally – the day he passed away, his yahrtzeit.
And why don’t you say the Rebbe “zt”l”??
What’s gimmel Tammuz? What’s yud tes Kislev?
If they tell him it is because of his low income they’re discounting the tuition, it is not taxable under the new law just as when they give a low income accountant (working elsewhere) a tuition discount it isn’t taxable.
That would work for discounted tuition, but some rebbeim get free tuition, which an accountant with the same income wouldn’t get.
It’s not law yet, is it?
Does it say it applies to yeshivos, or only colleges?Lubavichers refer to themselves as Chassidim.
Of course he should speak to his rebbeim.
That doesn’t mean they’ll recommend leaving; they may advise him on how to improve his chances of landing better chavrusos.
Sometimes, a rebbe/shoel umaishiv will learn with a weaker bochur until he can get better chavrusos, and sometimes bochurim learn with hired yungerleit.
He’s only in second year beis medrash. If he’s in a mainsream yeshiva, chances are that other options will be explored before having him give up on second seder.
Chances are also that the reason he hasn’t heard of a yeshiva as you described is because most bochurim in such programs would also be considered at the bottom of the list if they were in his yeshiva
True, then again My Rav recognizes Rabbi Forst as legitimate, and presumably Rabbi Forst recognizes his hotline as legitimate. so I still dont see the difference.
If your Rav was looking to help you find a kula, I would think he would send you to a specific posek, not a hotline.
I’m not sure what you mean, Im not skipping the second Rav.
So then we agree that my hotline, where you get whatever answer you want by pressing a button, is ludicrous, because that’s the same as skipping the second rav.
Perhaps you’re correct regarding the semantics. My point was that the Chazon Ish’ shiurim aren’t accepted as being meikar hadin (although certainly some are machmir at least for a d’Oraisa) because the mesorah was smaller shiurim.
What possible reason could there be for not allowing a clean and sharply ironed beige or light blue shirt versus white..?
Hashem’s army doesn’t need to be dressed like a bunch of penguins if they are able to shteig more effectively wearing a different colored shirt.
So it’s possible that bochurim could shteig better if wearing colored shirts, but not possible that they’ll shteig better if wearing white shirts?
I dont see the difference between a Rav sending for a different pesak when he holds the “actual din” is lechumra and skipping the Rav
First of all, if he didn’t acknowledge the other psak as legitimate, he wouldn’t send you there.
Second, if the rav would agree with you that you can skip the second rav, why is he telling you to go to him?
Every bais horaah/hotline is under a big posek, but he’s not answering every shailah – that’s why there’s a bais horaah.
And the poskim answering for the batei horaah aren’t as big, otherwise people would be calling them directly.
I’m not saying they don’t serve an important function, but they shouldn’t be for certain types of shailos.
This is the paragraph GAON is referring to:
וזכורני מיד לאחרי נשואי שאלתי את הגאון הגדול הנ״ל אם צריך ללבוש כובע על הפאה נכרית ואמר שאין צורך. ועוד הוסיף לומר לי כי פאה נכרית יותר טוב ממטפחת, כי פאה נכרית מכסה את כל השערות, ועוד דבזה תמיד נשאר מכוסה כל זמן שהיא על ראשה, מה שאין כן
במטפחת. ופוק חזי שדבריו צודקיםSlominer, the answer to your question is that Rav Moshe Feinstein (and Rav Abadi’s experience concurs) says that the hair is more likely to remain covered properly with a shaitel than with a tichel.
I think you are mixing up two things. You are discussing asking your rav, and the rav referring you to a different rav. Yes, this happens; it’s happened to me.
I am talking about someone who knows what his rav will say, so he doesn’t ask him, but rather asks a rav who he knows will give him a heter.
And yes, of course calling a random hotline for a life altering psak is ludicrous.
Ubiquitin, in that case, why would you even ask a shailah?
Accepted kula – to eat gebrokts.
There is no mesorah to rely on a kula to eat gebrokts. It’s not assur to begin with unless you (or your family or community) took on a chumra.
(although not all in the last 100 years – I’m not sure why that makes a difference)
Note: I’m not claiming that these are all correct, but there are some groups who consider these kulos to be part of their mesorah.
1) Eruv in cities with fewer than 600,000
2) Chodosh – the Bach’s heter
3) Sukkah on Shmini Atzeres
4) Peah nochris
5) Small shiurim (cf. Chazon Ish’ shiurim)Joseph:
Do you know why the Halacha is that women must cover their hair?Do you? According to the אור יצחק, it’s not what you think it is.
http://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=1525&st=&pgnum=386
(I found this link from PAA in the thread I linked above).
If an accepted chumra can become mesora then why can’t an accepted kula become a mesora?
It can and often does.
He knows his Rav holds Chalav Stam is categorically assur. I think it is wholly appropriate to ask someone else (before asking his Rav) in such a situation.
So I guess I have my first customer.
You’ve never heard a Rav pasken that x is mutar meikar hadin, but it is better to be machmir.
Of course, but not on demand.
My hotline will have a menu – “Press 1 for a heter, press 2 for a chumra, or press 3 for the actual din”.
How is 6 different than 7?
Also, if I didn’t think my rav got it right I would either do enough research to be knowledgeable enough to discuss it with him, or go to a posek I knew to be at least as big, but not to a random posek on the phone.
Oh, I know he was.
Feivel, that’s not going to work.
https://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/reliable-hashgacha/page/2/#post-1291772
Saying that a hashgacha is reliable simply because it’s chassidish is naive.
Some are reliable, but some aren’t.
OK. they reliably adhere to their standards.
Says who?
Will you now eat there?
Because they said they’re reliable? Lol
So I don’t understand why people have an issue with her title.
What’s the connection?
She also understands the importance of the title, or she wouldn’t have taken it.
If semantics were so unimportant, why didn’t Weiss just call her rabbi?
If the OU had a theological problem with the activities and responsibilities of these women they would have said so and they would have taken action. But they didn’t.
Does the fact that the OU hasn’t taken action against the mazel tov announcement also prove that they don’t have a theological problem with two men getting married (r”l)?
Anyone who could state that the wigs today are fine because the shiltei Giborim and the Rema allowed wigs that looked like natural hair (which was a big debate and too complicated to argue about on Yeshiva world properly) hundreds of years ago or even fifty years ago has blinders on-
How dare you say that about some of the biggest poskim, who, as shown above, held that the Shiltei Giborim does indeed apply to real looking wigs.
As far as the ad, that’s generated by keywords.
