    dhl144 -“Hi I am going on my next date on thursday. Any fun suggestions?”

    If you live in the NYC Metropolitan area some people go to Prospect Park -there is a Zoo there and a botanical garden across the street. This obviously is only a day date, not at nite. I never went to either, but I’ve driven past them a few times. Also, during the day -NY has many museums you can visit.

    Here is a really fun thing you can do – become Chassidish and the rest of your dates will only be sit-ins!

    Is 144 your age? (:0

    popa_bar_abba -“1. Drive to manhattan, and park on 61st or 62nd near 1st avenue. Parking is easy after 7.

    2. Take the tram to Roosevelt Island. It picks up from the foot of the Queensboro Bridge at 1st and 59. It costs a metrocard swipe.

    3. There is a Starbucks on the Island, I think it used to close at like 9. Then, you can walk on the boardwalk along the east river, and sit on the benches there. Bring sweaters if it will be chilly.”

    Sounds like an interesting idea, but first I have to decide to get remarried and then I have to find s/o who is willing to go out with me and then I have to put gas in the car & pay for all those tolls. Also, I hate coffee ( – so I have no where to go) & sweaters ( -so I have nothing wear).

    After all this, it doesn’t seem worth the Tircha – I’ll just stay home and blog on YWN!

    uneeq -“Ben Levi: Well said! I once read a piece by R’ Lawrence Keleman in one his of his books, where he proves that if it wasn’t for God there would be no morals. In there he proves that without God, there would be no logical explanation for people not to kill each other.”

    Even though I agree, but this is only from the Jewish perspective. Goyim, like I said previously, agree morals can come from G-d/religion, but they can also come from other philosophical reasons. Read the book I mentioned previously and you’ll understand where I’m coming from.

    frumnotyeshivish -“The 911 call is not hearsay as A) it was emotions at the time of the incident, and B) there was no better source as the victim refused to testify.

    Laws of evidence and hearsay are complicated.”

    I’m not a lawyer so I can’t argue this point with you. But one thing I will say the fact that he refused to testify and called for dismissal of the charges is more evidence – (that the Shomrim’s guy’s testimony is accurate) – than any 911 call. So how come she didn’t find his testimony credible if not for her Prejudice?

    “Since you asked for it, this is the case I was referring to.

    Aron v. Quest Diagnostics, Inc., CIV.A.03-2581 JSH, 2005 WL 1541060 (D.N.J. June 30, 2005) aff’d sub nom. Aron v. Quest Diagnostics Inc., 174 F. App’x 82 (3d Cir. 2006)”

    computer -“But it’s important to get the proper help to either eliminate the part that is hard in the person’s life, or if that isn’t possible, then to teach them how to focus in the present and ignore what was in the past and what will be in the future and anything that is going on in the person’s life.”

    Your last part, I don’t know if you are aware, is one of the goals of therapy given by a trained professional. So if you meant to say that a kid or adult diagnosed with ADD/ADHD should seek therapy by a trained mental-health professional -this I agree with.

    frumnotyeshivish -“The controlling case here is Stuart v QD inc..”

    Never heard of it. What is it?

    “The concept of burden of proof is crucial. If you don’t get it, what does that say about Touro?”

    I never learnt law in Touro or anywhere else for that matter. I taught myself.

    “No one has ever questioned WHETHER there was an assault, rather if the assault was justified. (There was a kid that went to the hospital you know)”

    Acc. to law who said there was an assault? Going to the hospital because he banged himself with a stick -there was no assault. What he told 911 & the responding cops is only hearsay. He must testify in a Court of Law. But you know this, but you want to manipulate the readers here.

    “There’s (at least) one question you didn’t answer me: How do you KNOW that NOTHING could have given the judge the conclusion she reached other than political pressure etc.?”

    Well I’m not a mind reader so I don’t know exactly what the Judge’s decision is based on, but from observation of what occurred during the trial -I can only come to the conclusion that she split the testimony of the Shomrim guy. Now why would she do this?

    Again for the tenth time, she has no legal reason to say there was an assault by THIS Shomrim guy (even if you want to say there had to be some sort of assault) without the testimony of the Shomrim guy. Why split the Shomrim’s guy’s testimony if she wasn’t Prejudice?

    Far East -“Many republicans are not anti civil unions, its marriages that most people have issues with.”

    Who said these guys are right? Nowadays there is a Big difference between a Republican & a Conservative.

    “I still dont see why they cant recieve the same tax benefits as everyone else.”

    Because I don’t want them to have any rights. If it was up to me I’d bring back the law making the Toeiva lifesyle a crime.

    “I dont think any of us living in America should forget that the same liberties and constitution that allow us to freely practice religion, are the ones that may one day allow gay marriage. And even though i disagree with gay marriage, that wont be the reason i dont vote for obama, i belive there are other way more important issues that go into my deciding whom to vote for”

    I personally feel that should be a reason to vote or not vote for a candidate. This also happens to be the opinion of a Godol, either R. Shteinman or R. Kneitzky, who said not to vote for Corzine (NJ -governor) for this reason only.

    As far as our liberties go, yes we Jews in the US aren’t being led out to the gas chambers like in Germany, but there is no great love towards us. I know this first-hand being denied jobs due to Shabbos and my legal rights not being upheld in Court, even though it was clear cut that they were Legally violated. I know some posters are in denial about this from previous discussions here, but let me remind them even Nazi Germany started first attacking the Jews monetarily. Some Jews are way too comfortable in the American Golus. This is why assimilation has been so great here.

    YW Moderator-42 -“My opinion: It used to be kids with ADHD would cause a bit of trouble for their parents and teachers but they mostly turned out OK and ended up being the life of the party in camps etc. Now they over-medicate them, thus stunting their natural personality and making them feel that they can’t do things that really they could.”

    In my medical opinion and I think Aries once posted this -what your saying could be true. A lot of Mechanchim don’t know how to teach or discipline. Anything they can’t handle is labeled ADD or ADHD. They force the parent either to get the kid treated or he/she has to leave the school. The Parent comes crying to the Pediatrician and he/she puts the kid on meds to save the kid from being expelled.

    Now, in spite of this, there is a disorder called ADD/ADHD. If s/o thinks or the school thinks that the kid has this -the kid should be tested by a professional usually a social worker or psychologist. If the kid is diagnosed with this disorder, then and only then, should the kid be medicated. Stop being so scared of the schools -do what’s right for your kid. If the kid needs meds -give it to him/her. If the kid doesn’t need meds -don’t be bullied into getting the kid meds because the school doesn’t know anything about Chinuch!

    yentingyenta -“i saw you changed the scenario; it could of been a dirty rock, knife, or anything. its plausible he got a cut or wound in the area providing entrance for infection but there was no mention of something like that in the history.”

    That’s why I picked needle. A needle can leave a deep seated infection without any obvious disruption on the surface of the skin of the thigh/hip.

    “the prob is the kid is a HORRIBLE historian. has a hard time differentiating between past and present. getting info from him (or mom) is not easy.”

    The only chance on getting to the bottom of what’s going on is to have him visited by the hospital’s social worker. He/she can delve into the mystery surrounding this case and can investigate if he was attacked.

    far east -“no difference its a meaningless label. im just curious as to why you think its such a terrible thing to be a liberal?

    As of now i support civil unions because why should they not get the tax benefits of a normal couple.”

    The term liberal as it is used nowadays, not the way it was used once upon a time, is a Bad thing. You just posted that you support civil unions -this is a liberal position. You get labeled a certain way when you espouse that way’s philosophies.

    I just posted a whole piece why there is nothing wrong with outlawing Toeiva in American society. Maybe you didn’t understand it or you don’t understand the connection of our laws to morality. Anyways liberals have convinced most Americans that they are something bad if they don’t support Toieva Rights. The way they did this was with lying and manipulating.

    I’ll repeat the point of my previous post -We as Americans have the right to legislate Morality even if it means outlawing Toeivas. And even if this Morality is based on Religion there is nothing wrong with that.

    I think we should have an Asifa regarding Daaos Kozvos. I know many people from the Frum community who think we can’t outlaw Toeiva and we can’t vote for s/o who is against Toeiva. Some of these same people have never watched a movie or surfed the Net.

    Now I just posted there is nothing wrong acc. to American Philosophy to be against Toeiva. So how come hardly anyone is making a Machoh on this issue? I would think that this is what the Torah requires one to do, esp. since acc. to Goyishe Philosophy there is no problem in doing so!

    Sam2 -“Health: I said that it shows they’re incapable of creating a Lishmah for making Tzitzis. That’s what the Drasha adds.”

    This makes zero sense. All the Lishmah means that they are doing it for the Mitzva. If they can’t do it for the Mitzva how in the world can they make a Brocha on them? My way says they are Mufka from Tzitzis even more than any other Mitzvas Asei Sh’hzman Groma so therefore they can’t make Tzitzis, but still can make a Bracha. So to pick this Mitzva to keep doesn’t point to L’shem Shomayim only towards Feminism.

    Yenta -“i’m not convinced on the dirty needle. i would think if this was a drug thing/dirty needle, why is it by the thigh/hip? if he was trying to use drugs, he would need to be near a vein.”

    I changed the scenario a little bit. He isn’t a drug abuser, but he was attacked with a dirty needle. Reread my post.

    Sometimes when something weird happens you have to think of weird scenarios that coulda caused it. I think my explanation is very plausable. A regular wound from a cut or scrape and this was the underlying reason should be able to be seen upon exam. The case doesn’t point to this.

    Sam2 -“Health: With all due respect, I think you’re making a nonexistent Chiluk between Tzitzis and other Mitzvos. I explained what that Hafka’ah meant earlier. There is no difference between Tzitzis and other Mitzvos Asei Shehazman G’rama by women.”

    Obviously we disagree, but acc. to your train of thought why do we need a Drosha of Bnei Yisroel V’lo Bnos Yisroel? Simply say they can’t make Tzitzis because they are Mufka from Tzitzis because it’s a Mitzva Asei Sh’hazman Groma? So this appears – that it being a Mitzva Asei Shehazman G’rama is Not good enough to say they are Mufka from the Mitzva of Tzitzis -you need a special Drosha. So it looks like there is a difference between Tzitzis and other Mitzvos Asei Shehazman G’rama regarding women!

    Yserbius123 -“I see no reason why any Yid should care about what is assur, but legal for goyim to do.”

    I’m not going to present an argument on this statement here -I have many times in the past addressed our religious responsibilty regarding this point. Check out the many other topics on Toieva.

    “The only arguments against gay “marriage” are from a Torahdik perspective.”

    far east -“But the truth is i don’t care about the issue enough. If people want to do disgusting things behind closed doors thats not really my problem.”

    Where did the two of you go to school that you were only presented with liberal philosophies?

    What I want to discuss here is the agenda that believing in a Toieva lifesyle and even marriage can’t be opposed from a Goyishe outlook. This is the philosophy that the libs have pushed upon the rest of this country. Anyone who has studied Philosophy knows that Ethics and Morality are the basis of most laws. They also know amongst the theories that exist – Morality based on Religion is one of them. So for me to oppose Toieva from just based on my religion is one of the accepted philosopies – so who are you to tell me that I can’t and it’s wrong? You can have one of the other philosophies that are given, but you have no right acc. to Goishe way of thought to say my philosophy is wrong!

    “This is a logical fallacy known as the Slippery Slope or the Domino Theory. Its basically saying something is bad because it will lead to something even worse. Not only is this false”

    While there are many arguments against this way of thinking and one of them is sometimes you accept the issue presented and it never turns into something else. So this argument has to be used very carefully, but it doesn’t mean having such an argument is a Fallacy. The Slippery Slope argument is a justified way of being against something regarding Ethics & Morality. Your point of view is one of the opposing points of view against the argument, but this doesn’t make the argument a Fallacy!

    So many posters here, not just in this topic, but everytime Toieva is discussed here in YWN, simply believe that we must follow the liberal agenda and not oppose any Toieva Rights. Not only is this wrong from a Torah Perspective, it’s not a given even acc. to the Goyishe Philosophies that there must be a thing of Toieva Rights!

    The Elements of Moral Philosophy by Rachels is one of my sources.

    frumnotyeshivish -“Health – Your “synopsis” of the law – “They must accommodate religious beliefs unless they can prove doing so will cause them minimal hardship” – is wrong.

    The law is that may not discriminate based on religion. They discriminated based on you not working on Saturday (a day that they needed employees to work on). Likely, the case was dismissed. Correctly.

    The only thing you could possibly contend is that they really aren’t hiring you because you’re an orthodox jew, and the fact that they blamed it on Saturday is a lie as proven by the fact that they could have somehow accommodated you as an exception.

    Such a contention is obviously silly and wrong. It’s a pain to make exceptions, and likely would get the other employees rightfully upset. No one wants to work on Saturday.”

    Sorry, you talk like s/o who learnt some law or is a lawyer, but you’re totally Incompetent. I’m not going into it with you, but this much I’ll say the law is multi-faceted. Yes, you can have discrimination based on your religion and “I don’t hire such type of people from your religion”, but part of the law is you must accommodate religious beliefs unless there is a minimal hardship to do so. To make it easier on yourself -instead of looking at the law directly -just look at the US Supreme case of Harrison vs. TWA and you’ll see that what I posted is correct.

    “As far as credibility calls, the finder of fact (in this case the judge – by choice of the defendant) is obligated, repeat obligated, to make judgment calls like I buy this or I don’t buy that, or I’m not sure etc., based on the evidence presented. The Judge’s job is to apply the facts to the existing legal standards.

    Implicit in this obligation is to read expressions, context, and demeanor of all the witnesses and testimony, and to consider all the evidence.

    The facts seemingly not in dispute (that the defendant was the initiator of the altercation, justified or not) shift some of the burden of proof on the on the defendant here.

    Was there a legit case of self-defense? Legally, the one who concededly assaults another must prove this. Did they sufficiently? I doubt it. The Judge decided not.

    After all this, you came along and made your own decision about the Judge’s motive. The burden of proof of this extreme statement is on you, just like the burden of proving justification is on the instigator. You have not come close.”

    After all your long-winded paragraph with fancy terms you basically say the Judge didn’t believe the guy on the fact that it was self-defense.

    I’ll talk in plain English that even e/o here will understand. This defense of the Judge would be fair enough, if not for one small fact. The fact is – that how does the Judge know there was an assault? Oh, that’s right the Shomrim guy testified there was. There is no other evidence or testimony saying there was one. This would be a miscarriage of justice because why should the Judge believe him on the assault part and not on the self-defense part? Splitting his words like that can only mean Prejudice.

    I’m begining to wonder if the reason you keep posting your Naarishkeit is to see how many people you can fool. I hope most people can see through your posts.

    The funniest thing is you once had an argument with me whether YU or Touro gives a better education -if you are represenative of YU – Touro wins hands down. Obviously YU teaches how to have command of the English language, but they have fallen short of what Law and Justice is truly about and that is – The Truth!

    Yenta -“i kinda doubt the dirty needle theory. the kid is petrified of needles. he needs EMLA every time for blood draws and come near him with a syringe and he shreeks (some of the meds are on syringe pump…)”

    After this tid bit, I think this points to my theory as correct. Being that there wasn’t any rubor, calor, etc. on the outside points to an infection starting on the inside. How does an infection start on the inside? The most probable ways are hematogeneous (guessing on the spelling) spread or direct innoculation. Could be s/o was angry or upset at him and bullied him and hurt him with a dirty needle to get him scared or whatever. You can’t even rule out the parents as the culprits. It’s called child abuse. This would explain his intense fear of needles. Every time he sees a needle it reminds him of the attack.

    “the drug seeker had PN and would take n/t PO. IV only abx. docs only ordered tylenol q4 for pain and he wanted stronger. security had to be called a few times to speak to him-basically either stop threatening the docs or be discharged/leave AMA. it was pretty scary. i made my instructor come in w/ me when i gave the meds”

    Did he have to be tied down? If not, he was pretty good. The worst violent ones are the elderly. You gotta learn how to duck.

    The most fun pts are the ones in custody. This one guy had to go to the bathroom -so the African American cop went in with him & then they got into a scuffle. Of course I was right there with box seats. Anyways the nurse who was Asian-Amer just like the perp decided this was abuse and started screaming and then they called the precinct. An Asian-Amer Sergeant came down and took away this one cop, but left his partner -also African American. With some of these pts, even after they’re tied down -you still can’t get a line until you give them some chemical restraint. This is what makes the medical field fun. As long as you didn’t get slugged, but watch out you will definitely encounter these types, esp. some elderly.

    Sam2 -“Health: I don’t understand your point in #1. All woman are equally Mufka from all Mitzvos Asei Shehazman G’rama.”

    You’re right you don’t. No, All Mitzvos Asey Sh’hazman Groma are not equal when it comes to women. They aren’t Mufka from the whole Parsha, just they aren’t Mechuyav in them. Tzitzis is a Mitzva where there is a Drosha that they are Mufka from the Mitzva. To pick this Mitzva that the woman wants to keep of all others doesn’t point to a woman doing it L’shem Shomayim only that she is doing it for Feminism.

    And this logic also applies to picking it even though some Shittos hold it’s Ossur for a woman to wear Tzitzis. Picking a Mitzva that some Shittos hold it’s Ossur for them to keep doesn’t point to a woman doing it L’shem Shomayim only that she is doing it for Feminism!

    Yenta -“Are you sure you aren’t violating either HIPPA or the hospital policy?”

    Who posted the bold? A Mod? Whomever did has no clue about medical laws and/or policies.

    “R thigh pain from admission on. no swelling, edema, redness but had decreased ROM; thigh circ was equal bilat. refused to put weight on the extremity and changed positions infrequently.

    the doctors have no clue what caused to clot or who a kid that young can get them. he was placed on lovenox which did not help. changed to heparin drip @ 20units/kilo then increased to 22/kilo. the doctors are unsure which came first-the abscess or the clot.”

    Sounds like an interesting case. In cases like these, if just from the DVT alone you’d think genetic Heme problems. Being there is an abcess while a workup for hematology pathology is still probably required, I wouldn’t go with that first. Usually an abscess is caused by an outside source. But over here there was no outer symptoms. This tends to make me think that the abscess started due to a needle. I don’t know how old this kid is, but sometimes it could be drug abuse. It could even be the kid’s first time, some peer pressured him/her to try a drug with a needle. If it was drug abuse this would explain the abscess. The dirty needle caused an infection deep down. This could have caused the DVT and everything else could be subsequent to these issues. Getting the kid to admit this would require a good provider to pt relationship. The kid would probably be scared to speak about the incident.

    “(worst pt ever was the violent drug seeker).”

    This is interesting. These pts come a dime a dozen. How could this be the worse, unless you forgot to duck? If you forgot the first time and you got clobbered -you’ll never forget the second time! LOL

    I’m just curious how did a young pt. come down with a DVT? Is the pt ambulatory? If the pt developed the DVT after being in the hospital awhile it could be negligence was the cause. What is/was the cause of the abscess?

    What drug are they giving for the MRSA?

    “NO. i dont want to. plain and simple as that. i will tell you standard nursing interventions r/t seizure precautions if you want but i will not list dosages and routes. i listed some of the meds above. first med is diazepam. other meds used are lorazepam, phenytoin. for refractory, phenobarb or other barbiturates. optimal route is IV and dosage is mg(mcg)/kg”

    That’s your prerogative. There are a lot AED’s out there.

    frumnotyeshivish -“Health the “Federal Law” you quoted is far from simple. It’d be different if you were discussing a gov. employer (a fact missing from your story).”

    The only one who is missing facts is you. I gave a very brief synopsis of the law. It’s seems you want to manipulate people by posting briefly without giving the whole facts. The Federal law does apply to all companies in the US as long as they have 15 or more employees. By stating or implying just the Gov. is totally inaccurate.

    “I wasn’t there. Neither were you.

    I find the judge’s version of the facts to be the most likely one. Even if you disagree, surely there is no basis for stating that it’s “a miscarriage of justice” like Health did.

    Feeling badly for the boys, and blaming the judge, are two entirely different things.”

    In your defense of the Judge you keep posting the same thing.

    She doesn’t believe the story of the Shomrim boy you keep saying, but you aren’t listening to what I’m saying. I asked this question and you haven’t given an answer – On what basis or testimony did she find the Shomrim party guilty? The only basis I can find is that the Shomrim’s testimony is a lie. Since there isn’t any other testimony besides the Shomrim guy, it surely can’t be based on any testimony that occurred during the trial.

    So this is why it’s a miscarriage of justice -why should the Judge be prejudiced against the Shomrim’s guy’s testimony? If I or any other honest guy were judging this case -I’d think that the fact that the “victim” refused to testify and his calling on the charges to be dropped – points that the Shomrim’s testimony is very credible.

    Why in your mind do you think that the Judge can’t be wrong no matter what?

    Sam2 -“#1: I don’t think so. B’nei Yisrael V’lo B’nos Yisrael doesn’t create an Issur. It’s explaining who the Chiyuv is on. And since women aren’t Mechuyav in Tzitzis, they are not capable in creating a Lishmah for making the Tzitzis. That doesn’t mean they aren’t M’kayim a Mitzvah K’einah Metuvah V’osah if they do it though.”

    Sorry, you missed my point. I never meant or said it’s a Issur for them. As a matter of fact I quoted the Rema who says they can wear. What I was saying was for s/o to pick Tzitzis as the Mitzva Asey Sh’hazman Groma that they want to keep, which acc. to the Drosha I brought down -is a Mitzva that they are Mufka from, logically points to a women who’s doing it for feminism, not L’shem Shomayim.

    “#2: You’re right. According to the Mishnah B’rurah, nowadays when everyone (especially women) are much more Makpid on hygiene there is no reason to be Mocheh a woman who wears Tefillin L’Sheim Mitzvah (according to my M’halach that I got from my Rebbe’im, however, there still would be).

    #3: A Machlokes Haposkim doesn’t inherently create a Safek. It could just be that her Rov Paskens like those who hold that it’s not Begged Ish.”

    Again you missed my point. First of all, I once asked this question here on YWN about does a Machlokes make it into a Sofek D’oraysa and hello99 answered that acc. to R’ Moshe Ztl – it actually does. Anyways, until his answer I did think like you, but even so let’s analyze this. Her Rov Paskens that it’s Not an Issur D’oraysa and like the Rema says she can put on Tzitzis for a Mitzva even though she isn’t Mechuyav in it. Why if she is doing this L’shem Shomayim would she do something that even one Shitta (maybe more) holds it’s Ossur D’oraysa?

    Again, this points to her doing it for Feminism, not because she will get some Mitzva out of it!

    Sam2 -“Health: Source for #1 please. Also, See Sukkah 9b or 10b (I think) which seems to prove you wrong on that K’lal. Tzitzis is also a Mitzvas Asei Shehazman G’rama according to what we hold.

    #2: See the Rama in 38:3 and the Nos’ei Keilim there and it’s unclear what the reason is. (I should have said Rama, not SH”A.) I have a long Shittah on that which I don’t feel like typing out here at the moment.

    #3: That Kaf Hachayim is not the majority Shittah in the Poskim, though it is far from a small minority. There is good reason to say that it doesn’t apply to a Tallis Kattan though. Mentioning that was one of the reasons that I convinced her to tuck them in with.”

    Feminism is really off topic and I don’t really want to discuss this here.

    But I’m a nice guy so here goes:

    #1 – Yes – Tzitzis is a Mitzva Asey Sh’Hazman Groma and the Rema brings down Shittos that they can wear it OC 17:2.

    Source for my #1 -Hilchos Tzitzis OC 14:1 -Mishna Brura #2 says Bnei Yisroel and Not BNOS Yisroel. Even though he’s talking about making Tzitzis -this Drosha would apply to the whole Parsha!

    #2 – Yes, but I was bringing down the Mishna Brura there. His reasoning is usually the middle path.

    #3 Noone says he was. Maybe you can think of a difference between Koton & Godol but does any Achron say there is one? Even if you can differentiate – why isn’t it still a Sofek D’oraysa?

    Why should she stick them in? It’s better for her to keep them out -so she doesn’t fool anybody about her Feminism.

    The lady in the street wasn’t Davening -just walking with the Yarmulka.

    IMHO, this lady is a Feminist. She doesn’t have Yiras Shomayim because why do something that is a Sofek D’oraysa, much worse than any other Mitzvas Asey Sh’hazman Groma? Why are these women looking to do Mitzvos that they aren’t Mechuyav in? They can’t find any Mitzvos where they are Mechuyav in? Here’s one that they are – go to a hospital or nursing home and help feed the patients. You can even find enough Frum ladies that need this that you can be busy with this 24/7.

    I’m sick of these Women’s libs and then covering it up with religiousity!

    Sorry to inform you, but terrorism in Israel has increased sharply since the begining of the Medina!

    “And are you really going to compare the Jewish presence prior to the State to after? ie. The shear number of Yeshivos, seminaries, shuls, Jewish businesses, and Orthodox comminuites?”

    Like I posted above -Moshiach would be here already, if not for the creation of the Medina -so e/o would be there, not just some!

They have crazy laws about bringng in things when you visit -how long you can stay, etc. If you live there -then you owe Hakoras Hatov to the army, but until they show some Hakoras Hatov to Kollel guys -you definitely don’t have to show them any Hakoras Hatov!

    Read my post to No One Mourns etc.

    “After analyzing all of your posts, I have noticed that your medical knowledge is really surfaced (besides some prehospital stuff). other posters have more than once pointed that out.

    To all,

    Thanks for the Mekor. Now it could be there are Heterim. I’m not quite sure if the Piskey Teshuva Paskens Mutar by a Gerusha. I don’t quite get what he is saying.

    Also acc. to the Chocmas Shlomo -he says 18 months, but doesn’t want to argue with other Achronim without another Heter to go along.

    It would probably come out acc. to the Chocmas Shlomo, if there are those that Pasken Heter like his Sevara, that nowadays she would be no different than a regular women And not need more than 90 days. Since he discusses that if Metzious changes -this isn’t called being Oiker the Gezara. So two things – one many people bottle feed from the git go and without the mother the kid almost always doesn’t die -so it should be Muttar right away.

    And even if you say it’s healthier -the general conception in the medical field is really only 6 months to a year. After that, upto 18 -24 months it’s still recommended, but not at the same level.

    So acc. to the Chocmas Shlomo Sevara -it definitely should be Mutter after 1 year. But I didn’t research this enough to know if anybody actually Paskens like this L’masseh.

    Sam2 -“Health: It’s interesting. Tefillin is the only Mitzvah that the Shulchan Aruch specifically says women can’t do. A woman who actually follows the SH”A wouldn’t wear Tefillin.”

    I looked it up.

    3 things: 1. A women is totally Mufka from the Mitzva of Tzitzis because it says Bnei Yisroel, while Tefillin is just because of Zman Groma, but isn’t totally Mufka from the Mitzva.

    2. The S’A says they shouldn’t do it because they can’t keep themselves clean. A Chosuve lady can and this lady thinks she’s a Yoray Shomayim. Michal Bas Shaul wore Tefillin & I think Bruria did too.

    3. The Kaf Hachaim brings down a Shitta that for a woman to wear Tzitzis & Tefillin is Oiver the Issur D’oraysa of Lo Yeyeh Kli Gever Al Isha.

    So whatever reason she wears Tzitzis she could wear Tefillin. The truth of the matter is – she ain’t No Yiray Shomayim. If she was, she wouldn’t put herself in a Sofek Issur D’oraysa.

    She wears Tzitzis because she is a feminist and believes woman’s lib applies to Judaism. And that’s why she wears them out to show the world about her feminist beliefs. You were either too young or naive to pick up on this. She fooled you with a few lines.

    I can’t ever forget the time I was in the West Side and walked past a woman wearing a Kipa Sruga. If she needed to cover hair acc. to Halacha, this didn’t cut it. If she was single -what’s the point if not to show off her feminism?!?!

Your reasoning is faulty. Hashem provides the benefit for everything at all times, no exceptions. Do you withhold a thank you from the stranger in front of you who held the elevator door open because it’s all from Hashem anyway too? You thank the person who carried out Hashem’s will, regardless of their intentions. Without the State of Israel and the Israeli Army would your sons be learning in Jerusalem, your daughters in seminaries? Go ahead and reap the benefits of the State and the Army then sit back and whine about those very same people that gave you access to the land in the first place.”

    Hey, I posted many times that you have to have Hakoras Hatov to the army. But I also posted -it’s a two-way street. They also have to have Hakoras Hatov to the Kollel guys who provide the same protection. They have to stop their attacks on the Charedim and stop trying to force them into the army.
