Meno’s shopping in the wrong place.
I ate the last cookie. My wife complained that if it were her, she would have left it for me.
I said, “see, you got exactly what you wanted!”
Would you get a favorable impression of their religion (חס ושלום) because of such actions?
Would you get a favorable impression of their religion (חס ושלום) if someone returned 98k found in a desk?
When a couple of creative kids come up with a good costume and complement it with very funny props, that’s not anti-Semitism, it’s a good sense of humor.
When a frum politician wears blackface on Purim, is that also just a good sense of humor?
You might be making (a) good point(s) here, and I’m just not getting it (them) from lack of appreciating your examples. I’m not sure. I definitely do agree with your last sentence.
They don’t make eruv tavshilin in Queens? And how does that affect the price of cholov Yisroel milk?
Why should the price of Cholov Yisroel compared to national brand milk be different than the cost of kosher meat compared to national brand meat?
Every animal needs shechita and bedika, then melichah/hadachah, and needs special packaging and/or transport to ensure integrity.
All of this is not true for milk.
Why can’t cholov yisroel be like kosher Coca Cola?
Kosher Cocal Cola isn’t a special run, and they don’t even have a mashgiach temidi.
A lot more Coca Cola is produced than CY milk. The cost per bottle to certify Coca Cola is negligible (they probably charge the exact same price per bottle as they would if there were no certification), but that’s not the case for CY milk.
Also, I’m curious as to how much you think CY milk costs. I very rarely pay more than $2.50, and sometimes pay as little as $2 for a half gallon.

What’s the difference?
They are two different places. There are many different neighborhoods within each.
I think to get meaningful answers, you’ll have to be more specific as far as what you want to know.
But she never had.
So she claims.
The “private person’s name” that the mosdos fundraisers are displaying on your caller ID is in all likelihood the caller’s actual home phone number that he’s calling you from
Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn’t.
And that is above board.
Maybe if it’s a volunteer. Not if it’s a professional telemarketer.
That’s not to say it’s g’neivas daas, which is a technical halachic term, and I’m not qualified to determine that.
It’s just a bit shady, in my opinion.
What Joseph said
He’s wrong. I’ve gotten it from telemarketers collecting for mosdos.
what difference does it make whether it’s their number or someone else’s number?
If I think it might be my child’s friend, etc., I would answer. If I would know it’s a telemarketer, I wouldn’t.
The newest trick from the secular telemarketers is to spoof a local number in your exchange.
This I have only seen by secular telemarketers.
If you see that a number is blocked, why would you make any assumptions about who is calling
They have a private person’s name come up.

Where did I write that the first Rav wasn’t sensitive to emotional realities?
You actually even quoted yourself saying that a few posts back.
“Look for a Rav who is both grounded in halacha and sensitive to emotional realities.”
I know, you’re going to say that you didn’t actually say that the first rav wasn’t sensitive to emotional realities. And that’s technically true. But you are missing how your posts are coming across.
I’m sorry if you think I’m attacking you and making false accusations against you. That’s not my intent.
You can choose to insist that you very carefully wrote disclaimers at every turn, but think about why you need to write all these disclaimers – because you realize that it sounds like you’re saying that the first rav was wrong, but you know you can’t say that, so you’re disclaiming that.
But it still sounds that way.
The same is true with a few points in this discussion; that’s an example.
I’m sorry that I’ve hurt your feelings. Again, that certainly wasn’t my intent.

How many eruv tavshilin threads are there?
Does that include the eruv chatzeros and eruv rav threads which I bumped before Yom Tov?
Meno just started wearing tefillin a whole day.
No less than with anyone else.
No
Maybe I’ve just never had a good one.
Or maybe you need to try one after 9am.

Stop changing the topic.
Someone should teach them a thing or two about fundraising.
“Oiving, she’s telling us how to fundraise!?”
Or perhaps the disclaimers simply ring hollow.
As I recall, the former.
Why did you assume that the first rav wasn’t sensitive to emotional realities, unless you didn’t like his answer?

ZD is completely on target.
RY, you don’t get to make up your own halachos deciding when tzaar baalei chaim applies and when it doesn’t.

Who taught you how to interpret statistics?
He didn’t interpret any statistics. He merely passed along his observation that 25 in a particular rehab center doesn’t tell us how big the problem is or isn’t.
More than 80 people have overdosed and DIED in less than one year (since Jan 2017) – All from Frum communities.
140 people die every day from opioid overdose – not specifically from the frum communities. President Trump wants to have it declared a public-health emergency.
Unfortunately, we are not immune to society’s problems.
Why was 6 afraid of 7?
Am I a terrible person that I just don’t care?
It seems to me that you do care, otherwise you wouldn’t have brought it up.
They can be embarrassed about how bad they sound.
To be fair, she’s unhappy that I said she’s overstepping her bounds.
I did say that I didn’t have time to respond point by point, which she perhaps took to mean that I didn’t have time to read her posts.
I did in fact read them, though. They just haven’t swayed me.
It took four until I got a heter.
The first three didn’t actually say it was assur, they just didn’t think it was a good idea, so I took it as license to keep asking.
Let’s say for argument’s sake it’s purely an advice issue. Who says the first’s rav’s advice needs second guessing?
You seem to assume that anyone going through a tough time needs to be meikil. That may very well be true in some cases, but may very well be damaging in others. Perhaps long term, some individuals may be better off holding fast to their standards, rather than slacking off and feeling as if they was too weak and caved in.
It’s not something you and I should be opining, or opining that he should be second guessing the rav to whom he first asked the shailah.
And I did not express any opinion on chalav stam.
You wrote:
According to the way the OP described his Rav’s response, this does not seem to be a halachic question per se’. It is muttar to drink/eat chalav stam and the Rav whom he asked did not say that it’s assur for him to do so. As far as I can tell, the issue is not “Is he allowed to eat chalav stam?” but “Should he do so?”אמר ר שמעון בן חלפתא לא מצא הקב”ה

Maybe they’re just being modest.
anyone have any tips he to help him stay awake for leining?
He should be the baal korei.
Skim milk is fat free. The cholov Yisroel companies package it in plastic containers with green labels.
With a chuckle.
Then I would unfortunately have to estimate less than 85%.
Regardless, I don’t see how it relates to my point that your idea is likely to decrease religiosity, not increase it.
Are mice religious?
