LB, same reason, I guess.
Vaccinations are mandated. Why is that?
So that people don’t get sick.
So just dump the tissues out.
They’re very possibly not muktzeh anyhow. There are several ways to be mattir.
LU, throw it out as soon as you get to a trash can.
LC, I wouldn’t worry about LU shaking your hand…
If the alternative is to leave it where people will see it, the heter should apply.
LB, stop while you still have your hair.
I think you misunderstood bk613’s (correct) point.
(S)he is saying that it’s silly to assume or even be chosheish for a correlation between autism and vaccines when there is no proof. The analogy to learning gemara has nothing to do with it being a mitzvah, just that it would be silly to think it causes heart attacks just because there’s no evidence to the contrary. If you don’t like that analogy, we can use many more. For example, I think we should stop posting on the CR because it has never been definitively proven that posting on the CR doesn’t cause severe hair loss. (Although, anecdotal evidence has shown that it can cause people to lose their heads…)
He was quoting himself.
No, he didn’t apologize for his wording, because he thinks it is clear that he meant that it’s not an aveirah.
I disagree, but the bottom line is that he is NOT saying it’s okay to violate Hashem’s commands for your own needs. He’s just not realizing that that’s what it sounds like.
??? ?? ???
I am still hoping that that will happen eventually.
It happened. He put “halacha” in scare quotes. Time to drop the charges against ZD.
Lashon Hora! 😉
A blank comment would be lashon hora…
I didn’t forget anything. You gave a case, but the reasoning you gave would apply to other cases as well.
Had you expressed the reason as the fact that the halachah in the case of a known molester is that one does report, and therefore it’s a mitzvah, not an aveirah, then your reasoning would only apply to such cases.
But you didn’t.
Mrs. Plony – my reaction would have been, “I guess he doesn’t need the money as badly as I do. I would have been happy to get a quarter.”
and
I suppose the man last night figured that if all we could give was 25 cents, then we needed it more than him.
Nah. He was making the point that giving a quarter is not really helpful when someone needs $40,000 for medical or chasunah expenses.
Rudely, but that’s his point.
He’s still wrong for turning it down and not taking it and saying “thank you”, but that’s where the frustration comes from, I imagine.
Do you really think anyone thinks I was referring to anything except molestation and abuse.
Yes. Your words, “I will protect my family first and if it means I did an averiah, I will take that averiah” do not imply that you think it’s not an aveirah, they imply that you put your family’s safety ahead of rotzon Hashem. Why shouldn’t some people take them at face value?
Right. By putting the word halachah in quotes, you are saying that it is not the actual halachah you have an issue with, but with the fake halachah promulgated as real halachah.
Had you made that clearer inyour original post, we wouldn’t have this thread.
It’s not, but let’s follow through: do you think halachah is the expression of Hashem’s will?
The target was met. The story is still on ZAKA’s US website.
Since the Observers are not learned enough on their own do demonstrate why the halachic claims are incorrect and pernicious, they instead lash out and say: “if that is what halacha says, I don’t care.”
That is a poor way of expressing themselves.
We’re getting contradictory stories here. Did the stores want lower wholesale costs or higher retail costs?
There are some who claim its moser to turn over a molester to the authorities
So your argument is not with halachah, it is with those who misrepresent halachah.
Don’t you see the difference?
if halacha is protecting the molester, forget halacha
In other words, if I don’t like Hashem’s will, forget Hashem will.
Chas v’shalom.
They’re both trying to make money. They’re both using tactics which they think will ultimately be best for their bottom lines.
I love the way the commenters all think they know how much money the grocers and publishers are making, and think that somehow, if they are making a lot of money, that’s a crime.
There’s competition in both, and as far as I’m concerned, as long as they act within the bounds of halachah (including dina d’malchusa), I don’t have any taynas on them, although my own best interest is the lowest possible prices.
Apparently, a few posters missed the point of the thread. It’s not about child molesters, it’s about putting halachah ahead of our own desires.
Forget about anger issues, which hopefully can be worked on. What about a child who is niftar l”a very young? What about someone born with developmental disabilities? Do they have a bashert?
That is the Meiri’s p’shat.
One rabbi was quoted as saying vaccinations are a hoax. If he said that, then according to him, it should be assur to vaccinate, because it makes a chaburah and is to no medical benefit.
LU, ZD got hurt, and started that thread. It could have been something else, though, maybe a leg or hip; I don’t know, and ZD may not want to say for privacy reasons.
I think you are still saying it wrong. Don’t say, “I don’t care about this aveirah”, say, “You’re wrong, it’s not an aveirah, it’s a mitzvah”.
You still need to ask a shailah how to tell people.
Yes, I know. I’m saying perhaps the same way back then you worded your complaint incorrectly because you were upset, you did the same now again.
BTW, how is your back?
Perhaps he didn’t mean it the way it came out, and was merely worded incorrectly.

You read it wrong.
The gedolim supported sending money to the Nazis ym”sh to save Jewish lives.
Rabbi Abramowitz of the OU has written an article on “heter” to be driven on shabbos. You may want to read it. You can find it on the OU’s website.
Thank you, that was interesting.
I thoroughly disagree with him, even more about the chillul Hashem aspect than about the halachah aspect.
Is mouthwash poison? Don’t some alcoholics drink it when they can’t get real alcohol?
Didn’t Kitty Dukakis end up in the hospital for drinking mouthwash?
The answer is, you don’t know, I don’t know, nobody knows.
So you should agree with the OP.
Joseph, which it probably was, as she accepted all of the mitzvos, although she was sadly never taught some halachos.
LU, then you too are abusing the term pikuach nefesh.
I think I read all of your responses.
Pashtus, you could still learn if you can’t be yotzei birchas haTorah, especially if you’re not speaking out the words.
Seriously, pikuach nefesh? Maybe you really believe your second paragraph?
If chas v’shalom a woman goes OTD, she and her children are still Jewish.
LB, I think Ivanka is Jewish, but you seemed to miss that if a woman is not Jewish, neither are her children.
Second, isnt everyone missing the obvious? Kushner is adviser to the president of the US, whose actions affect jews in Israel and here (basically, almost all of the world’s jews). Doesnt that alone justify certain heterim?
Possibly, but very unlikely this.
I am assuming that Queen Ester did not dress modestly.
Don’t assume that.
So why were you frustrated?
Oh. Because if she sleeps during the day, then according to R’ Akiva Eiger, she can say BH”T.
Do you never sleep?
This question is outside the Scope of my knowledge.
Is anyone concerned with the heter for the manner in which Mrs. Kushner dresses? Did anyone question the kashrus of the supposedly kosher food served, or who certified it as kosher?
Nobody reported a heter for that, AFAIK, and it wasn’t reported which heterim or hechsherim the kashrus of the food was based on.
Avi, it is not only direct amirah/tzivui l’akum which is the problem here. Adding their weight to the car is problematic.
As far as there being more non Jews than Jews, aside from being highly unlikely, they would have to be as chashuv as the Kushners, and the car could not drive anywhere special for them. Therefore, that is completely inapplicable here.
