“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.I’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.
Now you know which neighbor is supplying Hebrewbooks.
What’s the word again, when you feel so proud and glad that you’re finally noticed? Oh, I got it: I’m humbled!
You 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.
Does ending the list help?
Olam Habbah, and the Emess for that matter, is not necessarily the safest place for everyone
<code color=red>How does code show? And does color work in this way?
The 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?
If 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.
Hey one minute, does THIS LINK work?
What 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.

And I believe in Spontaneous Evolution. In fact, so spontaneous that it took place in six days.
If you need the real answer, it was already supplied by chesedname.
myfriend, 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.

If 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.
Hey Moshe, if I were a motorotor I’d get dizzy pretty fast.
SoRight, 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?
Yes, it says specificaly about a Busha that it clears the record better than anything. I just wonder what the ‘eraser’ looks like.
Wolf, save me a good place.
I’m talking about a Moredess. She gets a Get, just not a Kesuba.
Being 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.
mdd, the entitlement that you are refering to is about getting a Kesuba for her Get.
I’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.
I 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.
Yeah, 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.
Reb 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?
Isn’t he assur to her during his Cherim? That might be a good enough reason to ask for a Get.
I 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.
In 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.
When one dies, that can cause the other to die. Would he be called a Rodef by dying?
And how do you know that they have a Tzelem Elokim? It’s not even a definite fact that every Yid has one. Yes, it’s true that they are Hashem’s Maase Yadayim, but don’t stretch it.
Why do you feel that you have to find an excuse to behave appropriately? What’s wrong with the simple requirement of any human being to act like one?! The same reason you expect any non Jewish person not to spit you in the face or to cover his mouth when he sneezes or even not to steal, is the reason why you behave accordingly. The reason I stop by a red light is the same reason the guy on the opposite side does, not because of Dina Demalchusa – which doesn’t really apply here anyhow. That is what Reb Shlomo Zalman and the Mirrer Rosh Yeshiva were saying.
Being that this is a discussion of what factors are in play, and we are not trying to figure out the bottom line, we can go on. Fast, close the thread before someone has the chance to answer.
WIY, Where does the Pasuk refer to anyone but Klal Yisroel as His children?
Huh?, Huh?
Which one would be the Rodef?
Like Tosfos says, it takes alot for a whole paragraph to fall in. Most probably the other Nusach was changed to match the other Midrashim.
I had to write this, because there is no way to delete a double post.
If you think I wasn’t talking to you about disregarding Rashi based on your values, which is true, why do you respond to that?
The Gemara also has some differences in letters in the Torah. Did you ever see Rishonim saying it is wrong? We say it is different.
I’m aware of the fact that there was a different Seder Olam in France than the one in Bavel at the time of the Geonim. Somebody tried quoting Tosfos as saying that there are conflicting versions of it, and that is wrong. Personaly, I would give more validity to the one used by the Rishonim rather than something we came across, being that they edited out what they saw fit and we can assume that their Nusach was chosen and perfected by them.
Then there is the aspect of Hashgacha. Just as we say that Hashem is present in Beis Din, so too do we apply that to the Torah of the generations. We cannot disregard a Rashi no matter what. Chazal say that Hashem quotes the Chachamim, even though the reason for Machlokes is the lack of passing the Torah down. What caused it is one thing, but now it is Torah that is a product of Torah Lishma and is added to and a part of the ever growing tree of Torah. When Rishonim argue on Rashi they don’t say he is wrong, they use the term, it does not shine. We seldomely find ‘wrong’ in the Rishonim or Acharonim, even in the face of alot of proof.
So, while it is fine to point out that there are different Nuschaos, there is a way to approach that without saying that Rashi is wrong. Talking like that is what got you responses saying that you have no idea who Rashi was, which of course we don’t, and other derogatory statements (besides for your political leanings, which seems to be the worst sin). Our approach to Torah is not like a professor browsing ‘texts’. It’s our Torah and our lifeline and our connection to Hashem.
Tosfos says that the Seder Olam says that she was three. Tosfos actually goes ahead and says that it can’t even be a mistake in the text since the whole conversation there is explaining how we get age. He only says that there are other Midrashim that argue.
I don’t understand how you can say about something that Rashi brings and accepts, that it doesn’t make sense on the basis of your “advanced” moral standards. If only you would have been around in Rashi’s day you coulda taught him a thing or two.
Actually, Rashi had access to more Medrashim than we do. Keep in mind that many Sefarim were lost when they were burned in france. Also, Rashi didn’t depend on what was in his local library. He travelled alot. I found Rashi using a Russian word to explain a Pasuk, and Polish too. You can’t just dismiss a Rashi off hand, even if it doesn’t fit your fancy. Before wondering how Yitzchack was able to marry her, did you stop to think that no one in her family objected on the grounds of her age? They asked her and valued her position.
The Meinekes is probably her caretaker.
We must realize that although you can find that a Rishon wasn’t privy to certain information, like text or science, what he writes is Torah. In other words, when you find a piece written about the four elements, although these are not considered anymore to be the elementary basics of matter, we learn and revere what he writes. If a Tzadick were to pass a painting, and he would comment on it and point out rome great idea that we can learn from that piece of art, we listen to what he says, which is truth, but we don’t delve into that artwork. So the Rishonim utilize the current science for purposes of Torah, and we learn and internalize that Torah, because it is Torah Leshma and written with Ruach Hakodesh.
Tosfos says that the Medrashim argue on this. How to reconcile that with Eilu Va’eilu is a different topic. However, we don’t pick sides, we learn all of them because they are all Torah.
Yes, I understand that. I was talking about those who are to be found there today.
When the 4 captive rabbis where redeemed, there was obviously an already established Jewish community there in Spain, which would show that they got there before the end of the Geonim period. Although, the fact is that there aren’t any known Rabbanim before that time in any other land. This could be likened, however, to the situation in America, where the Torah came long after the Jewish communities.
As an interesting fact, I read in a Jacob Marcus book a letter that an Arab man wrote to his brother, in the time of the Amoraim, describing a boat ride. The captain was Jewish and on Shabbos he refused to control it. This Arab hung his sword over the captain’s head and threatened his head, but he ignored him and learned from a scroll. Then, when a storm came and became dangerous, the Jew said that now it is a matter of life and death and he may now control the skipper.
It seems from here that Yidden were all over the place at that time already. Also, you see how the Jew knew not to take an Arab seriously. Another thing I saw in this letter was his overblown description of the terrible events that happened then, and that you’ll never believe it had you not seen it yourself. I guess now is not the first time they’ve been feeding the media.
Along the lines of WIY, I’ve heard of such questions as isn’t this an unnecessary Ness. The thing is that the Menora is a unique Keli. The Gemara says that Hashem, who shone light on up for forty years, doesn’t need us to give him light. The purpose the Menora is to show that the Shechina is among us, by the daily Ness of the western candle not going out until the next day’s lighting. In the second Beis Hamikdash, this Ness did not take place, so obviously the lighting was sort of a Zecher of the Ahava that was shown to us.
At that point, where the Yidden were Moser Nefesh for the Mitzvos, Hashem decided to show us that same Ahava. That is the Menora in its real, original glory.
Ramchas, thank you. That is really good.
First read the online version of The Protocols Of The Elders Of Zion. Why reproduce it here?
