Ben, I’ve heard someone propose that the physical eggs are not halachically considered from the louse, based on how they are formed (I don’t recall how).
ZD. I believe we have discussed this before. I don’t think that is what the Rambam is saying.
I don’t think you can argue that Chazal had a different definition for ??? ???? without running afoul of the next question in the Gemara:
It limits the possible definitions, but it still doesn’t need to mean spontaneous generation.
I agree fully.
Interesting, because we seem to be saying two different things.
I’m saying we do know how they affect the din – it’s only muttar if and because they are ???? ??? ????. We may not know which physical characteristic is considered ???? ??? ????.
We also know how 12 months affects the din, just that the Chazon Ish explains that the specific treifos the Torah considers treifos are the ones which during the time Chazal codified it caused the animal to die within 12 months.
I thought that was the accepted definition of ???? ??? ????. Do you have a different definition? I am not claiming any level of expertise on this topic.
Accepted by whom, and why? I assume it was defined that way based on the scientific beliefs, but who says Chazal meant that? They meant it doesn’t fit the halachic definition of parah v’ravah, not the scientific definition of reproduction. Sort of how a pri isn’t always a fruit.
I don’t know what this means. If a cow gets a disease that would have killed it within 12 months, but we give it Penicillin and it lives, is it now a treifah?
Assuming in the times of Chazal there was no known cure (and the illness fit one of the categories listed in the Mishna and B’raisa), it would be a treifah.
Gavra, you are defining ???? ??? ???? as spontaneous generation, but that’s likely an incorrect definition. Had we defined it that way and decided to accept the disproof, we would have assered killing kinim. See P”Y.
Also, the treifos issue is not similar. Nobody is claiming that Chazal were wrong, but that the classification of treifos, and therefore the halachah, is determined by what the metzius was at the time of Chazal, and doesn’t change when the metzius changes. IOW, the definition of a treifa is a condition which in Chazal’s times would not allow an animal to live for 12 months.
He wrote “chareidim as an ambiguous group”.
He was contrasting specific groups of chareidim with the general population of chareidim lumped together.
I don’t think that is implied.
I think he means that they are all subcategories of chareidim.
So Sfardim can’t be chareidi?
Of course they can. Did someone suggest otherwise?
Maybe we should abolish Simchas Torah?
And Purim.
Who was the Chazon Ish’s rebbi?
His father.
What are you not following?
The Brisker Rav, Chazon Ish, Reb Aharon Kotler, and Satmar Rav, were all charismatic and influential people who had some significant chiddushim in their mehalchim.
In what way did they differ from their rebbeim?
Someone may have a bigger family, but if the store down the block sells hats for $150, he won’t sell very many hats at $200.
Ubiquitin: That wasn’t a condemnation of Israel.
This was no different in spite of it being spun that way.
Not vetoing the resolution is a major change. I don’t know how you downplay that.
Parties can’t stop individuals from registering as members
Yet, you blame the Republican party for its bigots and Jew haters, despite the fact that the leadership is clearly not that way.
Double standard.
What else is Moshiach about?!
That’s a different question.
Essentially what we’re saying is that it’s perfectly normal for a Rabbi to say one thing- but when questioned 1 on 1- he might hold differently.
I think that is a mischaracterization of what is being discussed.
We are in this world for the purpose of bringing moshiach
That is all .
No, we are in this world to serve Hashem by following the Torah.
That is all.
Why would you want to do that?
And you don’t need to have it owned by a goy.
Being a Rinnai water heater.
The Denver donuts are laced with pot. That’s why they’re so good.
Additionally, I am sure that Rav Shach, zatsal, himself thought that Chabad does many good things.
Why are you sure?
We are speaking about specifically Chabad
You said he was an old time misnaged. The old time misnagdim were against all chassidus.
Rav Schach was very clear and adament that he was not against all chassidus, but rather, he took very strong issue specifically with things Chabad was doing.
Saying we are all sinners and need to do tshuva sounds very similar to a philosophy of a relgion started by a man whose big birthday bash is coming up this weekend
There are two types of chareidim: those who think there are only two types of chareidim, and those who live in the real world.
FTFY
So maybe the only events which are supposed to bring us to teshuvah are the ones we find out about.
Some Chumashim have it with a R’vi’i.
My Aunt Bessie.
Oh, wait you said “him”, never mind.
It’s probably very different in Eretz Yisroel, where typically, the boys start shidduchim younger than the boys in the US.
there’s a strong argument that there are more girls in shidduchim than boys in shidduchim, since girls enter the shidduch parsha younger than boys.
Indeed.
It is not all that unusual, in my circles, for the girl to be asked first. This typically occurs when the shadchan knows the girl better. The theory is that it’s to her advantage, because a boy (or his parents) is (are) more likely to seriously consider a girl who already said yes than one who didn’t.
Too long didn’t read.
Tldr. The beginning says it is an insult to call someone retarded. I agree. The discussion was about using the word being inherently insulting even when not directed at an individual.
Okay, Health, please don’t keep us in suspense; what do you think someone should do, and how did the magazine err?
Yichusdik, I’m curious to know how you think I live.
Also, on another thread (I don’t recall where) you complimented me, and I didn’t have time to respond, so I’ll take this opportunity to say thank you.
Achdus means everyone should try to get along with me, on my terms.
Do you keep it stored with stanky fish?
If not, that would explain it.
When Moshiach comes, we’ll all be whisked to E”Y, correct? So isn’t buying a plot in Chutz L’aretz tantamount to saying you don’t think Moshiach will come in your lifetime?
You could say that about any long term preparation. If you buy a house (which you won’t move into for a month) you could be accused of saying you don’t think Moshiach will come for a month. If you buy chicken for tomorrow night’s supper, you can be accused of saying you don’t think Moshiach will come today.
In fact, though, you’re not saying Moshiach is definitely not coming today, this month, or in your lifetime ch”v; you’re just preparing in case.
I love a really good cup of coffee. I’ve been drinking it for more than 55 years.
It’s probably cold by now.
There is no specific window of time, and my response to LB’s post was unclear and imprecise.
I think her post was also unclear, because it didn’t mention that you can only say Asher Yatzar until the next time you need to use the bathroom, which is not implied, IMO, by the words “hours or more ago”.
I don’t know what Chabad does l’maaseh, but the Shulchan Aruch Harav says you can only say Asher Yatzar until the next time you feel the need to use the bathroom.
So, yes, technically, there is no time window, but it is very limited.
Technically, you’re right, but the implication of saying one would say a bracha even hours later is that even if one used the bathroom again, he would still say a bracha for that instance (i.e. say two brachos) which the MB says we don’t pasken like.
?? ??? ???? ?? ???????. Tasters Choice isn’t bad for instant, but doesn’t compare to a decent cup of real coffee.
They could expand the roads
Not easily for some key ones (e.g. Rt.9). They would need to knock down hundreds of buildings.
Are you saying that many people concur and say that there is a specific window of time to say Ashair Yatzar?
The Mishna Berurah is saying it.
