gavra_at_workParticipant
So were many of mine, don’t feel bad.
Try something less controversial, like giving up Har HaBayis.
gavra_at_workParticipantMight I suggest you buy a space heater? I think they go for about 30$.
I know nothing about landlord laws, but Halachicly it sounds like Gramma. Ask your LOR.
gavra_at_workParticipantA Watermelon is not Chotzetz, since it will be removed to eat it.
January 25, 2011 6:56 pm at 6:56 pm in reply to: This weeks Yated- teaching Savlanus (and other Midos) in #731886gavra_at_workParticipantlimud comes before covod cannot be applied so broadly, certainly not to a Godol removing his pants before a rabbim. do you think a Godol would teach while sitting on a Sefer Torah to make some point of limud?
If needed, Yes. No less than Avraham Avinu told Eliezer to place his hand on his Makom Milah, since it was needed. (Just thought of that off hand as an example, don’t ask me specific questions)
I don’t feel you need to follow his Mehalech (I’m not of that camp), so don’t feel it is required. I imagine many Roshei Yeshiva would never think to do such a thing.
January 25, 2011 6:52 pm at 6:52 pm in reply to: This weeks Yated- teaching Savlanus (and other Midos) in #731884gavra_at_workParticipantI just learned something:
Someone who discovers they are wearing shatnez is required to remove the garment immediately.
Of Course. That is the point.
January 25, 2011 6:43 pm at 6:43 pm in reply to: This weeks Yated- teaching Savlanus (and other Midos) in #731877gavra_at_workParticipantMr. 80:
That is why I said the second point. Limud goes before Kavod.
Besides, if it did actually happen, do you have a Hava Amina that Kavod HaTorah would be Doche the Issur of Shatnez?
January 25, 2011 6:26 pm at 6:26 pm in reply to: This weeks Yated- teaching Savlanus (and other Midos) in #731874gavra_at_workParticipantTBT:
Of course he didn’t, he would be well over 120 at this point (for real Kelm).
The idea is Mussar vs. a non Mussar approach.
OC: That assumes the Gadol cares one Iota for his own Kavod, and doesn’t feel the lesson taught to his talmidim is more critical.
gavra_at_workParticipantThere are many, many frum woman doctors out there.
Like SJS said, prepare early, and decide if you think it is the right career for you, and then go full steam and give it nothing but your all.
(Not to hijack the thread, but) Being a doctor, especially an OBGYN for the frum community (as a distant relative of mine is), is an extremely rewarding career, and serves Klal Yisroel in a way that very few women are able to do.
Hatzlacha
January 25, 2011 4:15 pm at 4:15 pm in reply to: This weeks Yated- teaching Savlanus (and other Midos) in #731870gavra_at_workParticipantAnother taste of Kelm:
(I have heard of, but have not seen for myself) A well know Gadol who is still alive today (AMUSH) who says in the middle of a Shmuz “This is what has to be done if you find out your pants are Shatnez” and goes ahead and takes them off (in front of all those present).
Sheviras Hamiddos!
May we be so strong.
gavra_at_workParticipantOOT is not just a location, it is also a mindset.
And that is why Lakewood is In Town, even though Waterbury or Stamford are OOT.
gavra_at_workParticipantI’m too old for this, but I guess (2) if you really like the guy, vs. willing to give it another shot.
gavra_at_workParticipantFrom what I hear, it is somewhat difficult to get an RN job in the NYC area.
Good luck.
gavra_at_workParticipantJoseph:
LOL, you know how many times you have said this (and under how many names)? Must be a dozen at this point.
gavra_at_workParticipantOne of the Gedolim of yesteryear (I forget whom) used to say that we don’t scream “Shabbos!” at cars because we think it might help, but only to reinforce our own beliefs.
I believe the same concept would apply here as well. People want to think that their way is “right” and don’t complain or judge to think what is right, but to support their own shittah.
gavra_at_workParticipantMishpacha is not a paper, it is a magazine.
It would probably get my vote as well (if it is allowed?)
gavra_at_workParticipantYou have to do what is right.
What everyone else does is their own problem.
Hashem knows what is Yashrus, and what is not, and He keeps a cheshbon.
And everyone gets judged by the Judge.
gavra_at_workParticipant* Rabbonim will need to address if braces are a chatzita
I believe this is already a big issue among the poskim.
Ynet had an article about it last year, with Rav Elyashiv saying braces are a Chatzita.
gavra_at_workParticipantI’m also shocked! I have never hear of this in a black-hat community. It’s even unusual in MO world and only occurs with far-left MO.
Agreed.
Conservodox, maybe?
Just shows you a black hat does not frum make.
And I’m sure there will be those who are Melamed Zechus. I would like to do so as well, but can’t think of anything, especially in BP.
gavra_at_workParticipantKeymaster:
Far be it from me to argue with You. I am honored that You decided to respond to me, but….
1: I would have brought a rainbow as the counter-example.
2: Dayan HaEmes is exactly that, that Judgement was done by the Judge. We only see that as “bad” (and yes, I am getting esoteric).
gavra_at_workParticipanthttp://ohr.edu/ask_db/ask_main.php/151/Q2/
You get to make a Bracha, so I would say good.
gavra_at_workParticipantI think I get deleted sometimes because I’m:
1: more cynical than I should be
2: sometime lose it & yell at a poster (mostly Joseph in all his forms)
3: Push the envelope with provocative language.
I have no complaints, though. It is Keymaster’s site & he can do what he wants.
gavra_at_workParticipantWolf:
I think the idea is to rhyme them or start with the same sounds.
That narrows the list down a bit.
Also, since order is not relevent, wouldn’t it be 187,578?
Just asking.
gavra_at_workParticipantD: Spouse, implicitly, since I know she has my best wishes in mind. Others may have their own biases.
gavra_at_workParticipantMany. (Yes).
(That goes both for my job, hobbies (like a side job I have fun with) & learning of course).
gavra_at_workParticipantI know, that was six.
But I paired them into twos!
gavra_at_workParticipantNiddah & Nazir.
Kiddush & Kiddushin.
Challah & Chomah (Batei Arei).
gavra_at_workParticipantDepends how wealthy.
Why work if you don’t need the money?
gavra_at_workParticipantAgree with Hudi, which basicly covers what many of you are saying.
Also add too young.
January 14, 2011 2:33 pm at 2:33 pm in reply to: If I had it all to do over, I'd do _______________ for Parnasa #729504gavra_at_workParticipantI believe I would stay where I am.
Baruch Hashem.
January 13, 2011 8:52 pm at 8:52 pm in reply to: Hm… mekor for not reading secular books on Shabbos #727900gavra_at_workParticipantDisclosure:
I also read secular books on Shabbos.
I am also makpid to study secular topics of no use on shabbos (see OHC 308:50), but not those of use after shabbos, since that would be Hachana.
(My post was that I put myself in a mindset of not reading secular books on shabbos, Al PI R’ Shimon).
January 13, 2011 7:56 pm at 7:56 pm in reply to: Hm… mekor for not reading secular books on Shabbos #727885gavra_at_workParticipantIt is that they are “muktza” due to being “Shtarei Hedyotos”. (Not really Muktza, but subject to that Issur)
Similar to any paper with ads in it, which is actually worse. Shelas Shalom (such as your novel, assuming that is what one holds) is only a Gezairah for real shtarei hedyotos.
(Which is why there has been a movement to add to them “please do not read on shabbos”, as I have seen a number of times).
The exception for jewish novels is possibly due to them having the halachic status of a sefer, due to their mussar message.
See SA OHC 307:13 for more info.
January 12, 2011 8:51 pm at 8:51 pm in reply to: Most Courteous Place To Shop At:Praise And You'll See More Of It #728791gavra_at_workParticipantI find Costco’s workers to be very friendly and helpful.
gavra_at_workParticipantOnce again:
Kid: Good luck, you will need it. Why start with issues when there are 20 other girls who don’t have them?
I assume you are looking for a Lakewood guy (type)?
Go for someone like yourself, with “baggage” that is not baggage.
gavra_at_workParticipantFYI:
Whether “Ein Maavirin” will apply or not will be Taloui in the famous machlokes between the Chacham Tzvi & Teshuvas Ridvaz (IIRC) regarding being let out of jail for a day.
It is just too Geshmak a piece of Torah to let by without mentioning.
DH: I hear you not liking the joke, but too many times it is true and support does take away from the parent, especially if it is open ended (like the joke implies). So I will still use it, but try to keep in mind the importance of Limud Torah.
Sof Kol Sof:
Each child should know the parent, to know if they are capable of support and doing so B’lev Shalem, without detriment to the parent’s own learning.
gavra_at_workParticipanttheres a nice iomega usb 320 gb drive on amazon for about $60. what do you think?
That is what I have.
see if you can get one from the “sale” websites. Someone told me ben’s bargins is run by a frum Yid (I don’t know if that is true or not).
gavra_at_workParticipantLia:
Already have said many times boss knows & doesn’t care.
Not to hijack, but many bosses care for results, not how they are gotten to.
gavra_at_workParticipantI don’t think mp3s save much when zipped, agree with SJS’s suggestion.
gavra_at_workParticipantAnyone who is taught fear of the other will belittle and dehumanize them. This will cause them to disrespect, after all he/shee is only a “fill in your term here”.
Both yeshivish & non-yeshivish families can dehumanize others.
I have seen it done here by some posters, and have called them out for it (specificly for using a term for non whites).
But those who push the fear of the other (which we see many times in both Yeshivish & non Yeshivish families) will “encourage bad middos” towards those other groups.
gavra_at_workParticipantIt causes lots of legal problems for trademarks.
gavra_at_workParticipantTheory: Mods, is the IP address from EY?
No they are not
gavra_at_workParticipantWould you believe that I thought GS wasn’t funny?
How about I thought it was funny, but only once in each episode?
How about it really is funny, but wasn’t sure the 86-99 relationship would pass muster?
gavra_at_workParticipantI wouldn’t call it a comedy, but I LOL many times for Srugim.
I don’t know if you would consider the Marx Bro’s clean (there is a lot of “innuendo and double entendre”), but they were (and are) funny!
gavra_at_workParticipantA Broken Home:
I saw one of these in Har Nof, once. The foundation was cracked, literally.
🙂
Kid: Good luck, you will need it. Why start with issues when there are 20 other girls who don’t have them?
If I were you, I would specificly go out with those who are from divorced homes, so that they and you both know it is not an issue.
gavra_at_workParticipantBruno is the garbage collector on Sesame Street, who carries Oscar around.
A good man. Quiet, but a good man.
gavra_at_workParticipantDH: in case you can’t find the thread…
gavra_at_workParticipantI follow my husband’s Rav, bec now I married to him. I follow his minhagim as well. IMO, This is all part of respecting your spouse.
I am not a grammarian, but something in your statement makes it sound like you are married to your husband’s Rav. I don’t know why though.
🙂
IMHO, Didn’t change the subject before using a pronoun.
gavra_at_workParticipantOff the top of my head:
1: Simin 240 in OHC is in many cases not followed L’Halacha.
The various Kuntraisim are used, and each to their own.
2: Klal Yisroel has Paskened like the Bach that there is no Chadash in Chul, it is questionable if the Rema agrees.
gavra_at_workParticipantElmo isn’t sleepy
Elmo wants some water
And another story
Elmo’s eyes are open wide awake
And Elmo doesn’t feel so snorey
(From Sesame Street)
gavra_at_workParticipantPBA: In your example, they are married (assuming the ring did not have a stone). L’Chorah, they would not be belived that they did not want to get married at the time (due to D’varim Sheb’lev).
Another simple way out is to ask a relative to be an Aid, thereby Passuling the Keddushin. Ask your LOR for actual details.
gavra_at_workParticipantAidim.
If the proposal is done in private, or even with only family there, there are no aidim and there are no questions; it CAN NOT be for Kiddushin.
Alt: If the ring has a stone, we Paskin it can not be used for Kiddushin as is (see Keddushin 7b-8a).
