Why?
Again, you never answered where you received your Smicha so please refrain from issuing blanket psaks assuring things based on your opinion
It would seem fair to ask you where you got your semicha from to pasken that LU shouldn’t express her opinion.
It is a negiah issue.
He said he hired a barber, so it doesn’t seem likely that it’s his wife, sister, daughter, or mother…
Jerks who negotiate with terrorists.
Wow, PAA, long time no see!
That’s not a different account of how Rabi Akiva died; it’s additional information surrounding his death.
Are you considering saying Kaddish for yourself? I wouldn’t recommend that.
They both help couples having fertility issues.
Bonei Olam provides funding, while A T.I.M.E. provides many types of support services such as referrals and emotional support.
They both are excellent organizations which provide important, yet not redundant, services to our community.
What about potato peelers? Can I bring potato peelers to the bais medrash?
Which Rambam? The one we don’t pasken like?
Right. Nobody thinks wifi is synonymous with internet.
Who said wifi is Internet?
When money marries money, it’s a waste of money.
It has been suggested that the majority of the six million souls who perished in the Shoah were not hallachically Jewish.
That was debunked and the one who suggested it retracted it.
The biggest distributor of Prizus and Kefira was the printing Press. The Hashkalah could never have spread without the printing Press
If we were to ban the printing press, that wouldn’t change.
Putting aside the obvious issue that those coming out of this yeshiva will lack basic skills for a parnassah
It’s pretty far-fetched to think that talmidim of Ponovezh will be seriously impaired in their ability to earn parnassah because computers aren’t allowed in the beis medrash.
many of the most exciting and original thoughts in the world of torah learning are only available on the internet
As someone who spends time both in the beis medrash and online, I can assure you that someone’s growth in learning is much better served by spending time on the classic seforim than online.
ALL technology? Even potato peelers?
Only the ones with screens.
No comment whether this is right or wrong, good or bad or whether it can work for everyone.
I don’t think it’s good; I think it should be 50/50, but it is what it is.
No permutation can work for everyone. Like the other possibilities, this will work better for some, worse for others. I think 50/50 is more equitable, and will work for more people.
To Winnie: Why do you say its the minhag for the wife and/or her family to support a full time kollel yungerman?
Because it is, and although kollel is perhaps more common now than ever, it seems that it was like this historically for the few who did learn after marriage.
I would assume that he would first seek support from his own family first before asking his wife’s to support them and turn to his the machatonim only if his own parents are unable to help.
Why would you make that assumption?
He was answering according your own stated standard, “the American people”.
When you tell a person something is assur, rather referring them to a Rav, you’re issuing a psak.
While I haven’t changed my opinion that her statement was too big of a reach, I think you are overgeneralizing.
As an example, if someone asked you if you were allowed to open a light on Shabbos, and you said no, would that be a psak? No, because it’s a well known, accepted halachah. Someone may have studied a particular inyan well enough to answer a question definitively, even without being a “posek” per se.
Again, I don’t feel that this applies here. Saying something negative is by by default assur. In some cases, it may indeed be “toeles” to vent, but there aren’t enough details available here in the CR to make that determination.
Had a general statement been made that on occasion there may be a heter based on emotional needs making the saying of L”H toeles, I think there are people who may be well enough versed in hilchos lashon hora to say that, even without being a posek.
There must be more- probably some under male pen names.
The Midrash Says.
If not, why do you still believe the wrong thing? Why don’t you change your mind?
Because although it’s likely that some of my beliefs are wrong, I don’t know which ones, and each belief, on its own, I think is. correct.
Do you think non religious people can never have good self esteem?
Where is Queens? Is that a section of Boro Park?
I disagree with that decision.
Might mean this case is more of a makom tzorech than others, and if it’s meikar hadin muttar, he might not advise being machmir even if he would to someone else.
You know many Yidden will only use water to wash their hands on Shabbos, correct?
Without even debating whether is solid basis for that chumra, you do know that that’s not what (in context) you appeared to have said, correct?
Question asked:
“What do you use then to wash your hands after using the restroom?”
Answer given:
“Water.”
Which part of the answer did you fail to understand as accurately responding to the question asked?
The questioner obviously didn’t mean “you” in that sense.
So you answered a question from a relative beginner in Yiddishkeit using word games in a way likely to mislead her, as 29 correctly pointed out.
Hope you had fun.
Lol. No, but Ting was certainly a rip-off.
What, the fact that you said the wrong halachah isn’t enough of a reason to dispute you?
Bottom Line: no teshuva needed here.
I don’t know how you could have gotten enough information from this thread to say that so absolutely.
Yes, Joseph, you are absolutely incorrect. Most, if not all poskim are mattir liquid soap if it’s watered down. Some are even mattir it at it’s typical thickness.
Bar soap is accepted as assur. Thick liquid soap is a machlokes, but if it’s watered down, should be okay according to at least most poskim.
And I don’t see what the Bruriah story proves since there was also a man involved.
He convinced her, not the other way around, and he was merely testing her.
I didn’t learn it b’nogeah to hilchos Yichud.
Perhaps because Joseph is right.
Why do you assume kefitzas haderech is a natural phenomenon? It is not.
I’ll bet you’re a a sci-fi fan.
No, the last post was a response to me.
Also, let’s get real. It is impossible.
We all have seen the post by Michaelfax about the video and the ywn article of Rabbi Edgar Gluck meeting with the Pope in the Vatican.
The video shows singing “orah yomim” to the Pope – with guitars (in Sefira) and dancing in front of him?
Is posting that permitted?
Anyone?
Oh well.
Intentional blank post. Please approve first.
Ditto
We all have seen the video and the ywn article of Rabbi Edgar Gluck meeting with the Pope in the Vatican.
I know at least one person who hasn’t.
Hmmm… maybe because Joseph is right?
Let’s not go crazy here. The two times I happened to agree with you today is probably equal to the amount of times I’ve agreed with you in the past six months…
since Joseph said that we do daven to die al Kiddush Hashem.
Where did Joseph say that we daven dmfor it?
