zahavasdad – “Health –
Tell us where it says Back of the Bus is the Halacha. Give some poskim, give some sources”
Stop twisting my & others words – just to be right! Noone ever said that the Halacha is for women to sit in the back of the bus.
You aren’t allowed to sit next to a women if it can be avoided. For them to sit in the back is just the most practical way to avoid touching them. You and all the MO’s and Non-Frum have to stop making this about discrimination on women. It’s just about keeping Halacha. Some people just want to live a Torah life because they believe in the after-life. This isn’t such a difficult concept, is it?
Avi K -“2. Many gedolim even endorse specific political parties. Not only to support yeshivot but to promote their interpretations of Judaism in general.”
Don’t mix politics with Halacha!
“1. We can say “yes”, “no” forever.”
No, we can’t. One day Hashem will reveal the truth. By that time, the ones who are Not on the side of truth will lose. It will be too late for them. I’m almost 100% confident that I’m on the right side! G’luck to you -you’re gonna need it!
I think the lack of Menchlichkeit is that they have these parties in the first place. Why do you need them? To make the kids feel good? To have some parents/grandparents left out because of scheduling conflicts?
When I was a kid -parents came to graduations & PTA conferences, nothing more. They weren’t there every Mitvoch & Dornishtag. I think this was invented because some school decided to have more PR than the next & they all followed suit. If we had a Siyum it was basic stuff like cookies and chips and soda, not evey candy under the sun. We only made real Siyumin, not every other week as an excuse to party. If the school wants to have Chumash parties and all this -it should be for the class only, not a PR shindig for the kid’s family. If they want, they can bring in a guest speaker for the class.
I’m surprised that there aren’t more people that agree with me.
Sam2 -“Health: In my Tzitz Eliezer it says it’s perfectly Muttar to sit next to a woman on a bus”
And he Matirs even when it’s easily avoidable????
Shrek -“Health:
I’ve been on the B11 bus in Brooklyn which runs through Boro Park & is utilized by many frum men and women & I have never seen anyone insist that the seating had to be arranged to keep women and men apart.”
That’s because these busses are too crowded and it’s not feasible!
DY -“And as to your accusations that I and hello99 are either out to asser or to argue with you, I will point out that you negius is much stronger – you actually (it seems from your posts) were oiver on amira l’akum and bishul aku”m and are desperately trying to defend yourself.
I, on the other hand, and probably hello99 as well, came to the conclusion that it would be assur to ask a nochri to do melacha d’oraiso, even for the only available cholent, well before this topic ever”
The funniest thing about your post claiming I’m the one with Negious, not you two, is that he (hello99) learns S’A 253 like me, not like you! So you and him are trying desperately to defend your Shitta! So stop grasping at straws by claiming this Seif of S’A disagrees (253) or by saying – find me one Poisek that Matirs besides for Choileh, etc. If you have a RAYA that I’m wrong – by all means post it, until then stop with the semantics!
DY -“Your distinction between a tzorech gadol which occurs occasionally or only rarely makes no sense, and the entire 253:5 – R’ma, M”B, B”H, M”A, PM”G (including his quoting the D”M) is clear that even reheating is assur in some cases, and certainly full fledged bishul would be. I brought the M”B in 225 not as a raya, but as a possible explanation for why even the R’ma would asser by bishul.”
Yea -what’s the explanation?
I have no problem with S’A 253; the reason you do is because you don’t understand why Chazal Assured Ameira L’acum. Do you think they had nothing better to all day than Assur everything, like a lot of people in our generation & lot of posters here? Say after me -Yoshon, Yoshon, Yoshon!
They Assured Ameira L’acum because otherwise you can do any Melacha in the world by telling a Goy to do it. So they would never Matir the case of 253.
Let me simplify it for you because you are having such a hard time seeing a difference between my case & the case in 253:
Did you ever learn Dinim of a Shomer? I’m sure you know what a Shomer is, if not, tell me and I’ll explain it. Anyway a Shomer is Chayuv on Peshiah (negligence). Does this mean that when he left the guy’s crystal bowl in middle of the street and when it got run over -it was done on purpose? No, it wasn’t run over on purpose -it’s still an Oiness, but you were Posheiah (negligent). Since you acted with disregard for s’o else’s object the Oiness doesn’t protect you any more from paying/responsibility.
The same thing here. You know the gas in the balloon can run out or that the fire won’t last -so since you set it up this way to cook on Shabbos like this -this is like Peshiah. Even though the fire went out B’oiness, this type of Oiness we aren’t Matir. In my case the crock pot can burn the whole Shabbos, but you forgot to plug it in or it got unplugged. This type of mistake is called an Oiness -there was no Peshiah though. In such a case Ameira L’acum would be Mutter L’tzorech Godol!
“You claim that the Debriciner in B’er Moshe is mattir amira l’akum l’tzorech gadol – please provide a source.”
I provided the source on the page before -read my posts before responding:
“He says why you can tell the Goy to open the bathroom light in your house in ???? ?”? in the Hebrew section.” Piskei Hilchos Shabbos vol. 4.
zahavasdad -“You are a sinner if you dont respect a Chumra that is not in Halacha anywhere”
I don’t get you -who said it’s just a Chumra? Name the Poisek/Rav? In my S’A it says you can’t touch women. Some Poiskim Matir where it’s unavoidable. On an Israeli bus -why is it unavoidable esp. when they could move to the back of the bus?
Writer soul -“So Health, sure, go ahead and ask the non-frum lady next to you if she’d mind moving. But it’s quite within her right to refuse without it being called charedi discrimination.”
They have that right, but you didn’t read my examples. The guy coughing also has the right not to move. The guy eating his ham sandwich next to a Muslim has the same right. But noone would be defending the guy/gal for not moving. They all would be attacking that person for lack of human decency. But when it comes to Charedim -there is a blatant Double Standard!
Sam2 -“So what makes the Chareidim stronger that their being insulted “Halachically” is more important than the women being insulted?”
C’mon. An insult has to be real, not perceived. If they don’t know the reason why they are being asked to sit elsewhere like in the back of the bus -let them ask s/o. They know, but they have No respect for Torah or the people who practice it.
It’s funny that you mention the A’H, do you always follow him or only when he is MACHMIR? Because he – a lot of times is very Maikil! And if you would bother taking the time to look up the Debrecener in Piskei Shabbos and Baer Moshe -I think he brings down who else holds it’s Mutter and why he is Someach on it.
DY -“We are more machmir on amira l’akum in the case of food than other types of hanaah. Unlike what you wrote, “There is no difference between one D’oraysa and another, no matter what you say. Sitting in a lit room is having Hanaah!”.”
You are totally off the path. We are more Makpid when the Guy was Oiver a Shvus. Key word – Oiver! We Knas the guy more. This has nothing to do with saying a Tzorech Godol wouldn’t push off this Issur of cooking by Ameira L’acum. What does one thing have to so with another? What Raya, even remotely, that they wouldn’t Matir cooking by a Tzorech Godol? Stop grasping at straws just to argue with me.
sam responsible -“Now I will say what I’ve heard. Seizure is a Disorder and not a Disease< so it can be helped with responsible sources of Natural. Only through a doctor (alternative).”
What are you saying? Alternative medicine hold they can cure diseases also or are you saying seizures can only be treated by alternative medicine? Either way -What is your point if you have one?
DY -“That’s true, there should be no difference, but either way, you seem to have missed the word “occasionally (lif’omim)” which means it doesn’t happen all the time.”
An unavoidable situation that happens all the time even if it doesn’t happen every single week -would Not be Mutter L’Tzorech Godol. Find other ways than Ameira L’acum to solve your problem. This is exactly why Chazal Assured Ameira L’acum in the first place.
I’ll try: The M”B says that there is more reason to be machmir on hanaah from food, because one has a strong desire for it, than from other types of hanaah.
A little more explanation, please?
“It’s not 100%, you’re right, but in most cases, the fire going out means no cholent.”
In order to bring a Raya -it has to be 100%. Btw, your case of fire going out happens all the time in EY. (Gas goes out.) And all they do is bring it to a neighbor. This is something that happens all the time. I can’t see anybody saying call a Goy. This isn’t the type of case where they said Mutter because of Tzorech Godol. They know this happens quite often.

Hermione -“Health: I’m just curious but what else do you think it can be?”
If it’s of recent onset – it could be an infectious process going on.
“We have HEPA filters and all our beds are covered with the dustmite covers, we have carpet in my room but my doctor said it doesnt really make that much of a difference (she is the head of the department of allergy and immunology in cornell)
I tried the neti pot but I feel like I have water in my nose for the next couple of hours and I cant deal with it.
I am a young person with no anxiety of any sorts or any emotional problems…
I’ll ask my doctor about the other medicines you mentioned instead of singulair…”
There are no other MedS instead of Singulair -I just said you could switch it with One other. The rest of the drugs are add-ons. Reread my post.
“I have not been sleeping and even when I fall asleep I wake up to sneeze… and cough… I’m so ridiculously exhausted from all this blowing and not sleeping… so I think I like the benadryl idea at night but is it ok for me to take it every night? I don’t want to get addicted (chas v’shalom)and also sort of immune to it if I take it to much…”
Don’t you take all your meds all the time? Start with 25mg of Benadryl @ nite. If need be – increase the dosage and how many times you take it.
All other questions -I refer you to your physician.
DY -“I don’t think it was arranged like this for any other reason other than the fact that the oven cooling was sometimes unavoidable.
See Darchei Moshe 253:7 (same R’ma) who quotes the Ohr Zarua who saw in his rebbe’s home that they were mattir reheating the cholent which occasionally cooled, only because it hadn’t entirely cooled or because they (the servants) did it for themselves. (It would seem that this is the basis of the R’ma in S.A.)
See M”A (38) who quotes this D”M, and PRM”G (E”A) who comments on this and is further lenient, but stipulates that it must be a shvus d’shvus, and is muttar because shvus d’shvus is muttar l’tzorech Shabbos. Those familiar with the halachos of amira l’aku”m know that shvus d’shvus is not muttar for a snack, or to rely on l’chatchila where avoidable, only when unavoidable and for an essential Shabbos food.”
You have a problem of differentiating unavoidable and unavoidable that happens all the time. The first one would be Mutter if it’s a case of Tzorech Godol, while not the latter.
“It is this PRM”G which the Biur Halacha which I quoted earlier refers to – clearly, this “tzorech Shabbos” is a form of tzorech gadol. See also M”B 325:62 for the definition of tzorech Shabbos.”
I just explained above this type of Tzorech Godol would not be Mutter.
“I believe there is, and you haven’t addressed the chiluk between food and other types of hanaah, which the M”B (325 – 16) makes regarding hanaah from a melacha which a nochri did for himself. Even if we are mattir there, the sevara is still valid, and would account for amira being assur for bishul even where it would be assur for light.”
Could you clarify this paragraph -I don’t understand your point.
“I quoted the IG”M earlier as being mattir a nochri removing the bulb from a refrigerator so that a Jew can later remove the essential Shabbos foods. It is interesting to note that in O”C 4:74-40, he explicitly assers telling a nochri to relight the fire which went out under the pot (clearly not a l’chatchila arrangement, and most likely no other fire available).”
Who says there is no other fire available? And who says this was the main dish and there would be no main dish? In other words, again you are assuming this to be a case of Tzorech Godol -who says?
Shrek -“there are plenty of “chareidi” neighborhoods in Brooklyn where men and women ride buses. No one makes a fuss about the fact that men and women aren’t separated from each other.”
Not true; ever hear of the BP to Willi bus?
“You know why? Because if a man or woman got up and started insisting on moving people around to suit their religious sensitivities, the driver would toss them off the bus.”
Again not true; on the BP -Willi Bus – no driver ever, until recently, interfered.
“As it should be. You have personal seating preferences, fine. On your own bus or in your own car or in your house you can segregate to your heart’s content. But a public bus does not need to adjust because you decided to be more religious that G-d himself.”
Stop thinking we have no rights only if it’s a private vehicle. If it doesn’t inconvience the other passengers terribly, like in these cases -why shouldn’t they move to the back of the bus to accomodate s/o else’s religion?
jewww -“That’s a poor comparison. The woman who’s coughing believes that she is doing you harm so she will move. The one who is touching you does not believe she is doing you harm so why would she move?”
Actually -maybe you should read my post before commenting.
First of all, not everybody understands that coughing can spread disease and that’s why the gov. actually has an education program about how to cover a cough -to inform people. So there would be nothing wrong in asking that person to move.
Second of all, I posted that the Frei Israelis might not know what an Aveira is, but almost all of them know that this Frum Jew can’t touch women and this is part of his religion. So why not accomodate him? Why tread on someone else’s belief? Would a Chiloni eat a ham sandwich right next to a Muslim? And if they would and the Muslim asks the person to move -would they then say to the Muslim you move if you don’t like it or get off the bus?
Most Human Beings treat others with some sort of respect, even if they aren’t from the same religion, but for some reason noone has respect for Frum Jews!
Ctrl Alt Del -“Please. Let’s not be ridiculous. You flippantly gave the advice without the background knowledge. No responsible practitioner would ever tell someone to substitute medication for another and to calculate what the equivalencey would be.”
Maybe in a practice they wouldn’t, but that’s what they’re getting paid for. I don’t recall charging for my advice. I don’t assume superiority of all others like you. I think the avg. person knows how to do arithmetic that they took in elementary school. They know that there are certain amount of vitamins in a prenatal and it’s not hard to figure out how many chewables will equal into one. Even if they have to break a pill into half or a quarter or whatever. Believe it or not most people have a half a brain in their head and know how to figure out to do simple things. I know you are used to talking to e/o esp. your pts. (if you have any) like two year olds, but the avg. adult doesn’t appreciate being treated like a child. It might not be your fault -I might be the first one in your life that actually stood up to you. The posters here only seem to edge you on! I guess they are impressed with s/o who puts down others on a constant basis.
“And do you know why they wouldnt do it? Because its a dangerous suggestion. Period. The end.”
As dangerous as the chance of s/o getting gangrene. You see I live in the real world, not in the CYA world. Again this might not be your fault -this was drilled into you from your place of employment. Where did you say you worked again -a veterinary hospital? S/o asked for help & I made a suggestion.
Hermione -“I just went to my doctor yesterday for shots and she said it is all allergy…”
I’d still go for a second opinion, just to make sure that something else isn’t going on right now. Your PCP is good enough for this.
“I’m highly highly allergic to dust mite and I suffer from it all year”
Do you use a HEPA filter? Also, no carpets or curtains. Make sure pillow is hypoallergic type. Cover all mattresses and blankets. They have special covers.
“MASSIVE sinus headaches”
Try the Netti pot and a 12 or 24 hr. decongestant (Sudafed). I’m assuming you’re a young person, correct? No hypertension?
Nsaid’s for pain. (Aleve. Advil, etc.)
“I’ve been having a flare up for like 4 months now and I have reached my limit tonight I’m really going insane…! I have severe allergic rhinitis and mild asthma – I’m on:
singulair – both for my nose and for my asthma”
If you feel that the Singulair isn’t helping you can try the other leukotriene blocker -Accolate.
“allegra sometimes I take a zyrtec with it”
Unfortunately for you, some pts. don’t always have a good response to the non-sedating antihistamines. You might need a sedating one -like Benadryl! You can try Benadryl at nite and the others during the day at first -so you won’t be sleepy during the day.
“nasonex (2 sprays)
pataday (eyedrops)
flovent
albuterol as needed
thanks!”
Other drugs you might want to consider -Atrovent -you can use both the nasal spray (for allergies) & the oral aerosol for the Asthma.
For prevention – You can use Intal (aka. Nasalcrom -other brand name) both for Asthma (nebulized or aerosol) & allergies (nasal spray). Another preventive med for Asthma is Tilade.
Let me know if this helps.
Ctrl Alt Del -“Take what you need to get the prenatal dose.”
“Health. Purveyor of fine medical advice.”
Now there you go with your assumptions again. Why assume that I meant take them -no matter what? I thought I was being clear to take them if they equal out to the formula of prenatals. It is possible to come pretty close without OD’ing on one of the vitamins.
72 -“yes, it is my opinion. Another one of my opinions is never to rely upon the opinions of an anonymous self described student of health sciences.”
And this opinion you also have never shared before! (Not.)
“and you have told us your opinions.”
Well at least I tell new ones every once in awhile, not just repeat the same old -same old.
“is this the new and improved, milder you?”
No, I’m still the same, just the Mods have a new stricter policy, at least when it comes to regular posters. I don’t know if the policy applies to former Mods.
DY – Even though this is addressed to hello99 & I’m not 100% sure what you are talking about -let me take a crack at it.
“I don’t think it’s much of an extrapolation or dochek. The R’ma clearly assers the food b’dieved if it was heated after having cooled, although it’s pretty clear to me that you’ll be stuck without (hot) food.”
Again this was done as a L’chatchilla, not as a B’dieved! (They arranged this in the git -go.) Chazal would never be Matir – Ameira L’acum for s/o who always put himself in this Matzif! Once it’s cooled -you don’t have Ain Bishul etc., anymore.
“I think these halachos (chazara, bishul) are more chamur than the case of the Itur. Besides the sevara that we must be more machmir for food, your being neheneh directly from his maaseh (the food itself was cooked by him) which might be worse than using the lamp he turned on.”
There is no difference between one D’oraysa and another, no matter what you say. Sitting in a lit room is having Hanaah!
“What is your alternative? That the R’ma would allow full-fledged bishul al y’dei aku”m when you have no other cholent, but asser food even b’dieved when it was reheated after being nitztanein?”
Exactly, because one is a case of Tzorech Godol & one isn’t!
We seem to be going round & round with this. If you are Oiver a Shvus -it’s Ossur Kdei Sheyaseh. If it’s a case of Tzorech Godol -it pushes off the Shvus!
DY – “Yes, to turn on the lights, not to cook.
You’ll never find anyone being matir cooking al y’dei aku”m for any tzorech other than a choleh.”
I know you don’t want to agree with me, but what is the difference between one D’oraysa and another – that you say -“lights, not to cook”?
You need to see your PCP tomorrow. Probably some sort of infection, not an allergy right now.
If you know for sure that this is only an allergy -what are you allergic to & what are you on?
Nurse -“No one attacked you, Health. Somehow you seem to view whatever anyone’s says to you as an “attack” and then boy, do you attack back,”
You didn’t read my post -I said -“You only focused on my response, not the fact that my post was attacked and I defended it!” Key word is “My Post”!
“when there was no need or reason in the first place.”
I just defended my post, nothing else.
Ctrl Alt Del -“Look, some people like to be things online that cannot be in real life. The web offers people an opportunity to be completely anonymous and therefore you can craft any persona you want.
I can pretend to be a lawyer and write eloquently and do a little digging around online for legal terms and advice so I can come off sounding lawyerly. I can even dispense actual legal advice. There is no downside. I don’t ever have to prove what I am. The rest of us just have to know that online advice or information can be faulty.
I have nothing against Health. Though he claims I have been harassing him for years I’ve only had an account for 11 months. He/she needs this to be his/her online persona for whatever reason. I’ve decided to let Health be”
I’m not even going to defend myself at this point. I’m way past that. But I’m just curious -why didn’t you do this in the git go?
Why the constant put downs? The only thing I can come up with is guilt. You are the one who needs to have this online persona, not me. But you can’t control it -so you let your anger on yourself – out on me. Ever hear the term -Kol Hapoisel B’momo Poisel?
“unless I find a glaring disparity in what is posted. Or if there is a dangerous suggestion in his post.”
Yea, like cutting out an ingrown nail -definitely will lead to gangrene. LOL!
YW Moderator-72 -“I’m still of the opinion you should seek medical information from a known medical professional and not from this or other non-reliable medical blogs.”
Really, is this your opinion? You must have never told us your opinion before. (Not)
Anyway, thanks for sharing!
adams -“that’s the issue, is this a violence based ideology. WHat I mean, is the ideology says, you must dress this way, or do as I say, if not, I will smack you in the mouth. But I already know, that you won’t smack me back because you are an ‘ehriche yid’. With any other group of people on planet earth, I couldn’t get away with this. ANd this proves that I am right and everyone else is wrong.”
Your post is Not coherent. I don’t even know which side you are on!
rabbiofberlin -“The one blatant ommission in this whole discussion is so obvious that it throws the whole “stting next to a different gender” out the window. To all those who do not want to sit next to a woman, STAND !!!!! Do not force your beliefs on other people !”
You obviously have never been on a bus! Most of us aren’t able to have a limo -chauffer us around. I’m sure the Frum men look for another seat or stand before they ask for her to move to the back of the bus. If it’s a little crowded even standing won’t help because she will bump into the men going on & off.
zahavasdad -“If you dont want to sit with the opposite gender on the bus or Subway, then Drive your own car or hire your own private bus”
How about asking them to move to the back of the bus? Both have paid full fares -if there is a way to accomodate both – why not? If there is a reason for women to sit in the back of the bus -it’s not discrimination. You seem to be college educated -so you should know the difference. Discrimination is doing something based on their race, gender, religion & so on. But you are deliberately ignoring this.
If the Frum Jew and the Non-religious woman can be on the same bus and it’s only a minor inconvenience for the woman passenger (she has to walk a few more steps) -why are they in an uproar? The only reason I can come up with is -“We hate your religion and we won’t even lift a finger to let you practice it!”
SG -“health u should try this as well y did u use urself as the example and not a different case, cause ur also x over it maybe u also need this”
Btw, it’s not possible to be over it because this is something I deal with everyday, not just something in the past. But I definitely have moved forward since that time of the original occurance. Remember once they are your kids -they are your kids. You just don’t move on. You just try to deal with the situation at hand as best as possible.
To postsemgirl also – You’re very lucky, even though you don’t realize it. You can just move on -the only thing holding you back is yourself! G-luck.
Uh yes -Don’t eat flour from wheat. (Other grains too.) JK
DY -“I’m not talking about that case. I’ll quote the R’ma which I am referring to:
??? ?????? ?????? ?????? ??????? ??????? ?? ??????? ???????? ???
???????? ???? ??? ???? ??? ????? ?? ???? ?????? ????? ???? ????? ???? ??”? ?? ??????? ?????? ???????”
Ok, got the case you’re talking about. A little miscommunication.
Now what about this case? What’s the problem? That’s it only Mutter because it’s warm? This isn’t talking about a Tzorech Godol. Something just happenned to occur like in my case. They (case of S’A) did this every week. This is a planned thing. It must be that the fires didn’t last that long and they worked it out with the goyim to put in on another fire. You can’t be Matir to tell the goy to do something every week and call it Tzorech Godol! That’s just misusing the Heter of Tzorech Godol. Look in the case of the Rema of Tzorech Godol -“like a Chasuna or Mila Seudah”. These don’t happen every week. Chazal would never let pushing off Ameira L’acum in a case of the S’A. That’s why you need to come onto Ain Bishul etc.
the.nurse -“Do you EVER have anything nice to say, Health?”
And do you EVER have anything nice to say to me -Nurse?
You only focused on my response, not the fact that my post was attacked and I defended it!
yentingyenta -“to the OP, health posted a wonderful article from webmd about epileptic seizures. i suggest you read it; its a great overview of epilepsy and different types of seizures as an aside, there is also a type of seizures known as febrile seizures which can be caused by high fevers.”
Much better, even though I detect sarcasm. Just to add to your little paragraph. -Seizures can be caused by many different things -fever is one, eclampsia & meningitis are others. There are quite a few more causes besides epilepsy and the others that I mentioned.
“if you feel that way, ok. disregard my comment to you. what i meant was, in your list of types of epilepsy, which at the time i thought you were posting about seizures in general, i saw there was no mention of febrile seizures. and thank you SO much for degrading my education.”
Excuse me, you first degraded my knowledge by correcting me. Now you know how it feels.
“wow you really touched my heart. that was just so kind of you. and thats exactly it! i’m not a doctor. i’m a nursing student so yes. i will admit i have knowledge gaps and thats why i’m in school.”
So if you admit that you have knowledge gaps -why would you come to a public site and try to “correct” me?
“to learn. and yes i know there are more than 2 types of seizures. and right now i am learning which posters to answer and which to ignore.”
If you would have ignored All my posts -you wouldn’t have called me out on my post to the OP. You just want to dish it out, but you don’t want to take it!
Raphael Kaufman -“Health did not offer medical advice although he is qualified to do so. He posted medical information as found in open source material. He just saved you the trouble of looking for it yourself.”
Thanks for a honest, non-degrading opinion. So far you seem to be the only one -at least when it comes to me.
yitayningwut -“WIY – I don’t think guys smoke in the rooms, and even if some smoke inside it’s limited to one of the common rooms and the hallway which goes nowhere but from ninth street to tenth street.”
And why does anybody have be subjected to smoke in the hallway? How else do you get to your room if not through the hallway? Stop making it sound noone smokes inside just to make BMG look good on a public web site. Do they still smoke in the library in the old buliding or did they stop that?
zahavasdad -“Ive been on the Buses in Israel and they are not as crowded as the Subways in NYC.”
Exactly! So why in Israel do the Non-Charedi women have to sit right next to the men? There is plenty of room to sit elsewhere. And if the men are in the front -why can’t the women sit in the back? Why make another person unconfortable? I think they do this on purpose because they want to show that they can step all over the Charedim and get away with it. It shows their animalistic behavior.
Let’s say you’re on a bus in NYC and it’s not that crowded and s/o who is coughing all over the place decides to sit next to you. Let’s say this person doesn’t have TB, just a virus, so you’re life isn’t in danger. But they are coughing and not doing a good job in covering it up. Do you think it’s wrong to ask this person to sit in the back -not near anyone? Do you think it’s wrong if this person was asked and they refused? The same thing here -maybe this women has no clue what an Aveira is, but they know touching a woman is against this person’s religion. So why wouldn’t they want to accomodate him? It’s only because of their hatred towards Frum people and there lack of respect towards the Jewish religion. If anybody would be honest -they would see this is no different than s/o who is coughing away!
computer777 -“Well said.”
Thanks.
I’m still of the opinion you should ask a medical professional about staying with this pediatrician. Even though I’m a medical professional -it’s really impossible to judge up another one by blogs. You need to discuss this in person. Don’t you have an internist that you use that you can ask their opinion about this?
postsemgirl -“health – I’m sure you feel that way but telling her that is like a slap in the face.”
It seems that you have a lot of self pity and this is why you sympathize with her and attacked me. I didn’t slap anyone in the face, not you or her!
“she wants to feel validated that what she is feeling is normal.”
I actually did validate & empathize with her. Let me refresh your memory: “It might be hard for you right now, but try to put things in perspective.”
“When someone breaks a leg they don’t want to be told hey I broke both legs so be happy.”
Your comparison is quite off. The difference between me and you two is like night and day! Life can be a lot more challenging than what you two are experiencing; so I’ll repeat – It might be hard for you two right now, but try to put things in perspective!
yenta -What makes you think I was trying to answer the OP’s question in it’s entirety? I was giving him some info, not all the info, but you couldn’t see this obviously -so you called me out on it. – “health, you missed febrile seizures.” Health is My name!
“i was only trying to make a suggestion that you may have missed one.”
And as far as just missing one -so there are only two types of seizures – Epileptic & fever acc. to you? Is this what they taught you in nursing school? Sheesh!
Getzel -When is BMG going to Assur smoking in dorms or anywhere inside? Make them go Outside for a smoke!
DY -“Do you care to explain why you don’t think it’s a diyuk (which, as I explained, is the simple p’shat, in context)?”
I did already and I’ll quote from above:
“And how do you know what the “the” is refering to? Maybe it’s left over pots from Fri. nite & he’s hungry?”
OneOfMany -“We have kosher Krispy Kreme where I come from, but I don’t see it much in NY. Is it a Middle American thing?”
There’s one in Penn station with a Hechsher and plenty around L.I.
frumnotyeshivish -I disagree with you. They don’t phrase it the way they researched it because they want the population to get someting out of the research. Just saying one out of this or that -doesn’t mean anything to most people. Most people aren’t even college educated. So they phrase it in a way everybody can understand. Saying 20X more likely -people will say -“Ooh, maybe I shouldn’t smoke because a lot more smokers get lung cancer than Non-smokers”!
Shidduch Girl -“how do you get over a guy you were dating seriously?? its a few months and i am still holding on.”
Trust me this isn’t one of the hardest challenges. What I went through is a little bit harder. How do you get over an -ex that you were married to for many years and have kids with?
I’d switch places with you any day of the week. It might be hard for you right now, but try to put things in perspective.
EH – Since it seems the FDA keeps putting in these diet drugs and taking them out -I went to their site for info. It’s not easy looking things up there -it’s the gov.
I found another drug that’s approved and it’s Tenuate. But it’s only sold in the generic form. Put it this way, they have approved two companies to produce this. Whether the companies actually sell these on the market or just are holding onto their approval -I don’t know. But the brand name Tenuate is Not being made anymore. Meridia is also not on the market.
This could be why some web sites only mention the fat blocker -Xenical. This btw, you can get OTC in a weaker formula called Alli.
DY -“I should point out that my diyuk is not merely from the ?, the entire context would indicate that there’s no other hot food; the reason they would move the food is because, not having gas or electric as we do, the oven often had cooled by the time the Shabbos meal would start.”
The oven did not cool -it’s Klor from the MB -95 -“even if he doesn’t put it on top of the flame”. The reason the food cooled because he took it off for the Fri. nite or day meal and now wants to finish it and wants to eat it warm.
“They didn’t have an oven, a hot plate, and a crockpot; at most they probably had a cooking oven and a heating oven.”
Whatever they had, they didn’t have more than one and the flame was still on.
“The Biur Halacha doesn’t stop at the words “tzorech Shabbos”, he also says “v’ain lo eitzah acheres”.”
You put in words that it doesn’t say, neither in the Rema or the B’H and then you say “They hold Ameira L’acum is Ossur B’mokom Tzorech Godol”. There is no Raya either way from over here. This to me is unbelievable. “Tzorech Shabbos” -means just that. It doesn’t mean Tzorech Godol! If you want to eat hot food from the leftovers -this would be Tzorech Shabbos, but not necessarily Tzorech Godol. “V’ain lo eitzah acheres” -this means – he has no other means. Means to do what? To warm up the food. It doesn’t say this is his main dish for the meal. For all you know he ate his meal already. You just can’t make up a Pshat that it doesn’t say, esp. trying to bring a proof regarding something else.
This isn’t a case of Tzorech Godol. Lo Hoyeh V’lo Nivra!
