HaLeiViParticipant
For all this talk about if the celebration is of military victory or a relief from our tormentors, it’s neither. This day celebrates the beginning of a bad war! It’s an independence day. Nothing more, nothing less. If you’d only keep it that way without stuffing in religious significance we’d all be better off.
If you really want to celebrate in the Jewish tone, celebrate the end of the war, 9th of Adar or the tenth, being the day after. Perhaps the ending wasn’t glamorous enough, but that would be a celebration of Hashem’s help. Celebrating an announcement that started (or preempted) the war is simply a nationalistic idea. Just keep it as that.
And, at this opportunity, I thank Hashem once more for the wonderful display of kindness and miracles He showed us in our times, ועל ארץ חמדה טובה ורחבה.
As the Medrash says in Shir Hashirim, this is great and wonderful and let them rejoice, but we await the presence of the Shechinah.

HaLeiViParticipantShe should marry him as then easily win him over by showing him kjchusid’s arguments.
HaLeiViParticipantAh! Finally a Zionist /anti Zionist discussion got this far without being closed down. Thanks 29 for keeping this place interesting enough to visit.
HaLeiViParticipantPlease. That’s a hard sell, let alone calling someone stupid for not buying or thinking of it.
HaLeiViParticipantOops. That was supposed to be a reply to yitzyk.
HaLeiViParticipantIf the discussion would be about the seller then you’d be right, it should just say ˋone who sells`. However, we are discussing both the buyer and the seller.
HaLeiViParticipantThe aeolian harp.
April 20, 2017 2:10 pm at 2:10 pm in reply to: What if I don't want to buy back the chometz from the goy? #1258277HaLeiViParticipantThe rule is well known, שוה כסף ככסף. He has Chametz in your domain and says you should keep it. In Bava Kama 46b we find the Gemara quoting the saying that if someone owes you money take whatever he offers for soon even that won’t be available.
As the Rishonim there point out, usually we don’t allow payment in such form since you received money and should therefore be courteous enough to return money. In this case however, obviously accepting the Chametz as value is part of the deal.
HaLeiViParticipantThe Gemara says that Tzurba Derabanan have a hard time with it. There is resistance because you feel like you will be held back rather than advancing. But as is the case with learning in general, once you begin and delve in it becomes enjoyable and rewarding.
The best time to review is at the verge of forgetting. This way it comes back to life. What you worked on last time to make sense out of it well flow easy the second time around. That is akin to harvesting what you sowed. If you don’t review, it is like planting but never coming back around to collect the fruits. You aren’t really internalizing when you just made sense out of it. When you relearn with clear understanding that is when you internalize it.
HaLeiViParticipantNot only these Zionist. We have to shelter our children from the Karoim, fight the Baisusim, banish the Kutim, leave Alexandria, ignore the priests’ lecture in Shul on Shabbos. Maybe we should even add a new Bracha in the Tfillas Amida because of all these Minim!
HaLeiViParticipantPretty cheap. It has all the hallmarks of immature writing. This small threat is actually greater than the actual famous one; but don’t ask them, because they’ll deny it, but take my word for it.
Why would any publication want to have such an article about anyone?
HaLeiViParticipantBecause those women don’t teach the boys.
March 27, 2017 1:42 pm at 1:42 pm in reply to: Best Android Filter or App Lock with No Monthly Recurring Fees #1244667HaLeiViParticipantIts usage is much like k9.
March 27, 2017 11:11 am at 11:11 am in reply to: Best Android Filter or App Lock with No Monthly Recurring Fees #1244572HaLeiViParticipant“HaLeiVi, how can OpenDNS accomplish the OP’s goals?”
It is a free filter
Also, your wireless IP changes.
Hence the necessity of the dynamic IP updater app.
And why do you need Optimum’s WiFi altogether?
That’s also free. Otherwise, I had to look at data usage. Besides, many apps run better or backup while using Wi-Fi only. I’m sure these can be changed but again, that would ramp up data usage.March 26, 2017 5:39 pm at 5:39 pm in reply to: Best Android Filter or App Lock with No Monthly Recurring Fees #1244263HaLeiViParticipantI’ve used OpenDNS on my android. But fit that I had to root the phone, get a DNS forwarder, and a dynamic IP update app to send OpenDNS my current IP address.
For some reason, though, my phone wouldn’t connect while on Optimum’s Wi-Fi. They block DNS servers. I contacted them, but they seem to be oblivious about it.
HaLeiViParticipantNow you know which neighbor is supplying Hebrewbooks.
March 26, 2017 3:31 pm at 3:31 pm in reply to: Just testing the various “allowed markup”s ☑️❎🆙 #1244234HaLeiViParticipantWhat’s the word again, when you feel so proud and glad that you’re finally noticed? Oh, I got it: I’m humbled!
March 26, 2017 1:38 pm at 1:38 pm in reply to: Just testing the various “allowed markup”s ☑️❎🆙 #1244225HaLeiViParticipantYou mean it’s weird for you too and it’s NOT just me??!! I’m so happy to hear that! After Meno’s post, I thought it was just me and that I was the weird one!
It’s actually your post that did it. You created a list item but didn’t end it. This system has all the posts listed and styled a certain way. Because you didn’t end your list item, and since this system doesn’t check for that, you ruined the list hierarchy that the style page depends on.
March 26, 2017 1:31 pm at 1:31 pm in reply to: Just testing the various “allowed markup”s ☑️❎🆙 #1244223HaLeiViParticipantDoes ending the list help?
HaLeiViParticipantYou see, the Rema did not receive this Halacha through Nevuah (for if he did, it would be a bigger problem). He is explaining the Pshat of Ad Deli Yodda mentioned in the Gemara. The Gemara clearly and obviously mentioned this phase as a reference to drinking. To take this idea of not knowing your surroundings as an end all its own is ludicrous. Where in the Megilla is it rooted? Does it commemorate Hamman’s death by experiencing a 1/60 death?
But for those whom this is (somehow) not enough, look in Darkei Moshe where it is much clearer, or in the Rambam he mentions there as a source that writes: ושותה יין עד שישתכר וירדם בשכרותו.
So yes, this is a rant. A well deserved one.
HaLeiViParticipantOlam Habbah, and the Emess for that matter, is not necessarily the safest place for everyone
HaLeiViParticipantThe same way the Rema understood it when he wrote the Darkei Moshe.
HaLeiViParticipantMore than that. It’s a rant against a very widespread misreading that, as is customary for Ameratzus, is plastered in your face.
March 21, 2017 6:28 am at 6:28 am in reply to: Just testing the various “allowed markup”s ☑️❎🆙 #1240000HaLeiViParticipant<code color=red>How does code show? And does color work in this way?
March 20, 2017 10:44 am at 10:44 am in reply to: Just testing the various “allowed markup”s ☑️❎🆙 #1239224HaLeiViParticipantThe link contained JavaScript to pop up an alert. Any well-made forum that allows links would make sure not to allow script, which can be devastating. Just checking.
Anyhow, what does that checkbox do, that notifies about follow ups? There is no Reply button. Is it about any future posts on that thread?
March 20, 2017 10:20 am at 10:20 am in reply to: Just testing the various “allowed markup”s ☑️❎🆙 #1239232HaLeiViParticipantIf it is an easy adjustment, I’d suggest allowing the dir attribute to blockquote and other tags. When you write Hebrew, the last period comes out on the right side. Although the browser is smart enough to show rtl characters right-to-left it doesn’t know to attach that last period to the Hebrew.
But until then, we can just add the ‏ (Right Left Mark) at the end. Thus we get:
טקסט שלם ימין לשמאל, כולל הנקודה.But allowing align=right would complete the picture.
March 20, 2017 7:13 am at 7:13 am in reply to: Just testing the various “allowed markup”s ☑️❎🆙 #1239066March 20, 2017 7:13 am at 7:13 am in reply to: Just testing the various “allowed markup”s ☑️❎🆙 #1239065HaLeiViParticipantWhat good is the class=”” option if we don’t get to put in our own styles?
Now, let’s see if dir is supported. That would make Hebrew come out normal for a change.
בא ונראה מה תיעשה בכיוון האותיות.
HaLeiViParticipantAnd I believe in Spontaneous Evolution. In fact, so spontaneous that it took place in six days.
HaLeiViParticipantIf you need the real answer, it was already supplied by chesedname.
HaLeiViParticipantmyfriend, it’s not really that much. In the database there will be one more field by each name showing how much his hits are worth, and another field in the comments table recording how many hits were recieved.
As far as being abused, perhaps. However they can always give it a try, or you can make a newcomer have a very low rating.
HaLeiViParticipant(get on your) kNees
Group

Shoot
HaLeiViParticipantIf they can’t be consistent then there another (complicated) method. The comments should go up right away, at least when all moderators are signed off. Every logged in user will find a button near each comment that they can click on to consider it inappropriate. If it gets three hits then it will have to wait for the mods. Additionally, for more realistic purposes, every user will be secretly saved by the mods or whoever how trustworthy they are, in their eyes. When a comment gets ten points off it goes. Trust points can be based on how often this user had to be edited and how angry he/she gets at other commenters, and how many times the user clicked wrongly on a comment and so on.
HaLeiViParticipantHey Moshe, if I were a motorotor I’d get dizzy pretty fast.
HaLeiViParticipantSoRight, if someone comes to you and cries that they are in trouble, you say, how do I know you’re telling me the truth? I don’t understand why you feel like you are fighting a holy war over here against a victim of that circumstance?
HaLeiViParticipantYes, it says specificaly about a Busha that it clears the record better than anything. I just wonder what the ‘eraser’ looks like.
HaLeiViParticipantWolf, save me a good place.
HaLeiViParticipantIt’s weird that basic concepts in Yiddishkeit are up for grabs, and people would rather think up original meanings or depend on a Pasuk when there are Sefarim available. It’s fine if you found an approach that you can relate to and you go by that, but to say you saw a word in the Pasuk or just what sounds sweet is where the trouble starts.
The Rambam didn’t make his Hilchos Dayos based on articles that he read or an inspirational email he got (that originated from a Christian website). He was Me’ayin in the areas of the Torah that those Midos can be learned. The same goes for all other Sefarim that deal with De’os. Even though you’ll find quotes from outside of the Torah, that is for technical support. They checked those opinions first against the Torah. They through out the window anything that didn’t echo the Torah’s perspective.
HaLeiViParticipantI’m talking about a Moredess. She gets a Get, just not a Kesuba.
December 6, 2010 5:31 pm at 5:31 pm in reply to: help, can I design pritzus clothing to sell to goyim? #721993HaLeiViParticipantBeing that you mention that you have a daughter at home, you actually don’t want to work from home. Perhaps you can get yourself a private office someplace.
As someone else here pointed out, even if it is technically ok, we wouldn’t want to have our hands in Tuma. However, Parnassa is not something taken lightly, even in Halacha. Perhaps Chazal were refering to this case when they said Pshot Neveila Bashuk V’al Titztarech Labrios.
HaLeiViParticipantmdd, the entitlement that you are refering to is about getting a Kesuba for her Get.
December 6, 2010 3:16 pm at 3:16 pm in reply to: help, can I design pritzus clothing to sell to goyim? #721991HaLeiViParticipantI’m talking about being Machshil them with Arayos, as in Eishes Ish. I don’t think there is a Chiyuv of Tznius for it’s own merit. That has to do with Vehaya Machanecha Kadosh. Hirhur, though, probably is a problem.
December 6, 2010 3:13 am at 3:13 am in reply to: help, can I design pritzus clothing to sell to goyim? #721987HaLeiViParticipantI think that it might be Muttar if you stay within the boundaries of what is already considered normal and decent. By non Jews there is also an Issur of Lifnei Iver when we are talking about something that they are Mechuyav. The thing we have to know is are they Oiver on these things that are Parutz by them already.
HaLeiViParticipantYeah, the book is about the 5, 6, or 10 most amazing Jews. Two of them are him and his wife. It is filled entirely with stupidity, like everything else they ever sent around. I only wonder if anyone educated ever converted without force or pressure.
HaLeiViParticipantReb Moshe told a Rav that being Mattir a woman to her husband is as important as being Mattir Agunos.
Does a Cherem on a man actually ban his wife from Shul?
HaLeiViParticipantIsn’t he assur to her during his Cherim? That might be a good enough reason to ask for a Get.
HaLeiViParticipantChazal say that an animal doesn’t attack a person unless he appears to it like another animal. This is what Baalei Musser usually bring up, to point out that most people don’t have one. The fact that Adam was created that way doesn’t mean that we all have it regardless of our actions.
Would you say that Lo Sallin applies to any human being? How’s about Hassoter Loyo Shel Chaveiro, and welcoming a guest, do they also include all mankind as if you did so to Hashem?
I’d agree that there are different explanations, or different levels of understanding it; according to the level of understanding, it applies to different people. The Maharal on Avos, after a threefold Biur, writes that it only applies to Klal Yisroel but everyone has something. Any human is created in the same shape, hence they also look like the Tzelem Elokim. The Mishna says Chaviv Ha’adam because it wasn’t given to Klal Yisroel per se, but only to the ones on the level of Adam. What does mod 80 hold?
HaLeiViParticipantI think most people do it, albeit subtly. Watch the eyes of a crowd when they are listening to a vivacious person relate a story in a very animated way. Their eyes open wide with his and their jaws drop when his does. Also, friends seem to pick up each other’s laugh.
HaLeiViParticipantIn the link that huh? so kindly supplied, that was the case. My issues with that was that his Kasha on Reb Moshe is based on a his own brand new Pshat that he learned into the words of the Rambam. From the Gemara there is no basis for his explanation/Kasha. His own Heter is also a little puzzling. He wants to consider someone about to die as a Mechuyav Misa. How does that differ from someone that would without a doubt be killed by the enemy surrounding the village, where we aren’t allowed to give him up?
To add a little to the subject, the Gemara seems to say that the reason we would kill the fetus to save the mother is because it is not yet considered a full fledged person. The Rambam however, says that we kill it because it is Rodef. Rabbi Akiva Eigger asks this and says that although killing a fetus would not beget a Misas Beis Din, it is still a transgression of Retzicha. Therefore the Rambam says that we would kill it as a Rodef. Reb Moshe points out in another Teshuva that a Treifa has the same Halachic status as a fetus. Therefore in the case that was discussed then, the Baby A, who was definitely a Treifa, and a Rodef can be killed to spare the other one. Reb Moshe didn’t say this because, probably, in a different Teshuva, he answered the Rambam differently, that when they are co-existing side by side then neither is the Rodef. Whereas, however, it is still a fetus he is being the trouble maker. In the above link he seems to differentiate based on if it is depending on the other, and that makes it not be side by side.
