TDH didn’t say if you don’t like the medinah, leave.
He said if the only way you can stay is by “committing gezel against regular everyday people”, then leave.
but if it were possible to do so within halacha I would propose the following…
I am well aware that was done by other denominations
Was it a success for the heterodox denominations?
What percentage is it?
There’s got to be a better way for you to feel good about yourself than putting down the MO.
The best way to prevent divorce is to not get married.
Sure, less talking can be accomplished in 2 hours than 3
There you go, a simple mathematical explanation.
My answer above is misleading.
I thought it was clear.
I’m going with the professor is going off the incorrect sources, based on what I believe from Judaism here.
Bingo
It sounds like the professor got it totally wrong.
Jewish. They obviously knew the Greek language.
Oh, great, now you can move on with your life.
That’s not what happened.
It’s a gemara in Megilah, daf 9.
King Talmi (Ptolemy) put 72 scholars in 72 rooms, without revealing to them the reason.
He then told each of them to translate the Torah into Greek, and Hashem gave each of them the same ideas to alter several translations, identically, for various reasons.
If there’s no sleeping allowed in shul, what’s the point of the Rabbi’s drasha?
In shamayim, if they ask why I came late to davvening, I will answer them that I followed Halacha where it says it is better to stay home than talk in shul. Shulchan Aruch Siman 124:7
What if they ask you why you didn’t just come on time and not talk?
On Shabbos I daven at a hashkoma minyan that lasts about an hour and a half to an hour and 45 minutes with a kiddush afterwards, and there is still a problem with talking.
Just imagine how bad the talking problem would be if they shlepped!
Mammele, I don’t think he’s lying either.
I’ve had occasions where a rav didn’t want to give a psak, but instead referred me to another rav.
According to the way the OP described his Rav’s response
He didn’t quote the rav, and to me, “wasn’t very positive about it” is a euphemism for “told me not to”.
I really don’t have time to go point by point again, but we’ve been through this before. I think you are overstepping your boundaries by giving halachic advice where you think you are able to assess a poster’s emotional state. And yes, it’s halachic advice, because the cholov stam issue is not nearly as simple as you make it out to be.
Who/what was this in response to?
Syag.
but for some reason, she didn’t think of it or was uncomfortable
Here we go again with your emotional heterim. Being uncomfortable is a valid excuse to skip a brachah acharonah?
I would be a bit hesitant about the website idea.
I don’t think checking the Star K brachos list is any worse than calling some random rav on a halachah hotline.
You’re not allowed to eat without saying a brachah. If you don’t know the correct brachah, find out, otherwise eat something else or don’t eat.
LB was referring to a brachah acharonah, after she had already eaten, so not eating wasn’t an option. However, she should have called a rav, or at least some type of Bais Horaah (or perhaps look it up on a reliable website). I don’t know if any if those options were available to her, though.
I disagree with the advice you gave for several reasons:
1) You are making an assumption that the first rav didn’t relate to his emotional state. Meiheicha teisi?
2) You neglected to mention that he should tell the second rav what transpired with the first.
3) You are assuming that his emotional state allows him to be meikil on something he was mekabel on himself. Meiheicha teisi?
4) You are assuming that had the first rav understood his emotional state, he would find room to be meikil on cholov stam. Meiheicha teisi? Maybe he holds it’s assur meikar hadin and there’s no room to be meikil.
5) You are assuming that the questioner isn’t simply trying to find a heter. Meiheicha teisi? Even if he doesn’t usually try to find the easy way out, that doesn’t mean he isn’t doing so here.
Your advice to him very much comes across as if you feel (based on situations you’ve been through, which in reality might have little to do with what he’s going through) that the first rav was wrong.
I know you didn’t actually say that, but it comes across that way.
Sitting at your computer reading his post does not qualify you or I to decide on his emotional state and opine that he needs to reask the shailah. He already asked someone in person (who might know him personally) and had the opportunity to present the shailah in more detail than a CR post.
There is a big difference between ”heter shopping” and looking for the right Rav to answer a particular question
After you’ve gotten a psak? Explain.
Probably not kiruv organizations.
I mean you’re right, but whatever.
It’s not just semantics. You’re allowed to feed milchig to a child who hasn’t reached chinuch age even if they just ate meat, as long as there’s no meat in his mouth.
This wouldn’t be true if it was “treif”, because of the issur to be ma’achil b’yodayim.
I just remembered why the idea of eating treif beshogeig came up.
Milchig ice cream is not “treif”, even for someone who just ate meat. There is an issur to eat it, but it’s not “treif”.
The parts that are not in Shabbat are being recreated while those that are are not.
I think you are incorrectly limiting the Nefesh Hachaim.
Also, if the parts that are in Shabbos aren’t being recreated because Hashem is there, He shouldn’t be recreating any parts, since He is in a part where it is Shabbos.
Why am I responsible for the consequences of the actions I do if at the time of the consequence my action is no longer around?
Hashem uses the way the world existed in the previous moment as a template for how He creates it in the next moment.
More fundamentally, we are responsible for what seems to be the result of our actions, even if in a higher reality we didn’t really cause it (perhaps LU said this).
This led me on to my next question – what were the 6 Days of Creation, if every second the entire world is re-created?
When the world first came into existence without having been previously in existence.
My first question is – what happens on Shabbos, where HKB”H ‘rests’ from any creative force? The world is still being created every second, isn’t it?
Pikuach nefesh
In any case, this is a vicious cycle that will continue until one side or the other backs down.
And Peleg thinks the government will be the one to back down.
Joseph, so you’d be ok if chilonim practised civil disobedience by marching into Meah Shearim on Shabbos playing loud music
He specifically said he only supports civil disobedience if the cause is just.
LC, the court recently made it illegal, and not all yeshivas are registered as deferment eligible.
Tiawd, the cops are afraid for their lives and jobs, not of political correctness.
To use another example (again, not comparing the morality of it), most Israelis don’t agree with the “Palestinian” cause, yet terrorism has led to many painful concessions.
That Syag was dismissive of the fact that Gedolim support the protests by writing them off as fanatics.
Syag, I apologize for unintentionally providing literary assistance for that offensive and wrong point.
Not to compare the justness of the causes, or the means used to further them, but can you fathom how BLM protests make cops think twice before shooting a black person?
Every Jew has a right to live in eretz yisrael but not on his or her own terms. If I want to sell drugs and the government wants to deport me back to the USA, can I still use the argument that Israel belongs to all Jews?
Kind of unfair to compare someone who wants to be a drug dealer to someone who wants to not be forced into the IDF.
Tiawd, the end game here would seem to be finding some legal way to leave yeshiva bochurim alone, the most obvious and perhaps, long term, the most likely way being abolishing the draft and switching to a paid armed forces.
Sure, the politicians might not admit that they’re giving in, but history has proven these types of things to be effective.
I do not support that point.
interjection
thanks for not answering the question. Yes or No?
I believe she answered with an emphatic “no”.
I agree with you, yitzchokm, that “if you don’t like, don’t live there” doesn’t apply to Eretz Yisroel.
Syag: Yes, it supported the point I made.
What point we’re you trying to make with that line?
I would ask another Rav though.
I don’t know how much support you’re going to get for “heter shopping”.
Which foods do you miss? Maybe someone here can suggest alternatives.
Refuah sheleimah.
No, that reply is a “Those guys are too frum for me, so it can’t be true” comment.
The word is “fanatical”, not frum.
Why would a rav pasken against his mesorah or his own halachic conclusion just because a different rav disagrees?
You’re welcome.
There are two cases of not knowing – where certain factors allow us to make an assumption (stama) and where we must remain in doubt (safek).
The safek case would presumably be where it’s neither in a kfar or a crach (as you suggest).
I think Stama means more likely than not ie ordinarily, and safek means 50/50
I don’t know if I would quite phrase it that way…
Stama refers to case where there’s a likelihood which allows us to make an assumption (stama is the assumption); safek means we remain in doubt.
Besides for arrogance being a bad middah, it also gets in the way of the ability to discern emes.
For example, some people are so arrogant that they can’t accept that if a talmid chochom comes to a different conclusion than them, there might actually be some validity to it, and it might not be out of carelessness and irresponsibility.
I don’t like being pompous
But you are very good at it.
Therefore I think the only way to discuss this is by discussing the actual topic.
Did I miss where you did that, rather than just assert that you know you’re right?
Also, if people would buy straight from Walmart instead of from Google Express, then Walmart wouldn’t have needed to join Google Express.
