ames, care to explain your name?
so now you can explain yourself…
the stage is all yours.
asdf, then tell us an embarrassing incident that did happen on a date of yours.
boro park & area is not quite the place one would expect to find an israeli army uniform.
We have some new members that joined since this thread was last active, that may wish to share why they chose the name they have.
I think chunchie’s question is more general than teens – i.e. if it is tzniusdik for women to be blabbing on a cell (or off a cell) in the street.
In Oz Vehadar it says girls should not converse loud (or congregate) in the street, as it isn’t proper tznius to do so.
If someone follows a shitta that he must be drunk ad d’lo yada – and according to his shitta that means until he doesn’t know the difference between arrur haman and baruch mordechai, he is a tzaddik for doing so.
just smile – good comment.
The jewish star is not something I’d bet my last dollar on.
ames, its funny that you should mention stamp collecting as an activity. What made you think of it? (Yes, I have had that hobby since young childhood.)
qwerty, I wish I could answer you, but the rules of the road, er CR, do not allow me to answer personal questions.

moish, you just gave more reasons not to ever take that first cigarette.
People don’t enjoy that first cigarette, yet we know many people do get addicted.
gastro…
squeak,
That was gleegish humor.
It appears that sn was created expressly for the purpose of politely critiquing a wise man in riddles:

This is why we have, and need, Gedolei Yisroel Shlita to make these important decisions for Klal Yisroel.
flatbush, thank you for raising this vital point. It is timely, and people should be cognizant of it.
25, you’re still too new. Give it a few more weeks and we won’t be seeing you much.
Thank you oomis1105 for your psak din on how ad dlo yada changed for “todays day and age.”
goodyear613, Daven as much davening as you can concentrate on, with kavana.

39, who ever said its an honor? Its dry job.
syrian, Its a permalink directly to each post.
Aren’t men said to fear commitment?
flatbush: Agreed.
Yasher Koach
The rules allow multiple Dvar Torah’s per day.
Additionally, I’m sure that there are times in life when there may be a bhas hadchak situation. What I can’t digest (pardon the pun) is how Hershey Bar’s or Reese’s Pieces ever qualify as a dire emergency.

jphone, I have had better experiance with Golden Flow than other brands. Maybe give it a shot. I find rarely, if ever, does it spoil. Also, your taaina seems to be more of a cost issue (you need to replace wasted product, hence additional cost.) I don’t know that is a “dire emergency”.
Jothar, want to try to answer labochur? labochur, it seems to me you’re understanding is correct. That is being said without me having the benefit to look at it inside (being I’ll be busy for a bit now.)
moish is an anav in addition to a talmid chochom.
No one said anything about overriding anything. My Rabbeim always put it as a 100%-100% partnership.
That’s an insiders joke (for anyone reading Wolf’s comment.)
Rav Miller was clear that a man (ideally) should be the breadwinner. With a Kollel family, that ideal may be unattainable. Kollel is ideal too for those that can.
gavra, I’m not sure what you mean she has a right to reject a Takana of Chazal. She might reject it, same as she might reject kashrus.
Jothar, it has nothing to do with “power”, its all about how a marriage naturally works and what the Torah expects. Of course both points are a sine qua non of marriage; Rav Miller said so befeirush in the quote from his Sefer above.
ames, ideally the husband should be the primary breadwinner. Rav Miller ZT’L always said that the wife should give her paycheck to her husband to cash.
Jothar, the point is how to act in marriage; Rav Miller is not particularly discussing anything about Shidduchim. Baed on Rav Miller, this midda is expected to be a given; not something to be “discussed” (with a shadchan or whoever.)
yossiea, read The Big One. He provided the mekors. The Igros Moshe is very clear. And Reb Moshe wrote a subsequent letter (to Rabbi Weinfeld in Monsey, printed with Reb Moshe’s handwriting and signature in the back of “Hilchos Kashrus” by Rabbi Forst) saying the heter was only bshas hadchak.
Napa Valley is Wine Country.
Looks like so far the vote is heavily leaning towards Flatbush as the best place.
qwerty, you told asdf you live in flatbush (and asdf was shocked yesterday when you said you didn’t).
ames, yes.
ames, kaltkeit = coldness
nope! 🙂
in fact if you’re ever in the San Francisco area for some reason, check out Napa Valley if you really want to know what a real winery is like.
Jothar, who says Reb Dovid a) holds like Reb Moshe (sometimes he argues on his father) b) holds it is muttar anytime other than bshas hadchak (for whatever reason he may have considered the times he permitted it to be bshas hadchak – unless he clearly stated otherwise you cannot assume, even if you fail to understand the possible reasoning) c) what is the mekor for Reb Dovid’s position (other than a possible misunderstanding by yourself)?
That’s what happens when you skim 🙂
I had visited the wineries in Napa Valley about 3 years ago; now those are wineries.
Rav Avigdor Miller ZT’L said a person should always verbalize I Love Hashem.
Aren’t these wineries treif? How can you drink there?
C’mon Curious, you’ve been in the parsha long enough to have a few stories of your own to share…
Curious – none of your words are possible. They all contain used letters.

From England – Gut Gezugt!
Jothar, Hagoen Harav Avigdor Miller was from, and wrote/spoke for our Dor. He said what was quoted above many times including recently. You can’t argue on Rav Miller based on unquoted, unsourced, unnamed rabbeim.
No one provided a good response to The Big One. If the basis of the heter is purportedly Reb Moshe, and the Igros Moshe makes clear it applies only Bshas Hadchak (plus even then a Baal Nefesh will not utilize the heter)…
Jothar, 1) Its more likely (to say the least) you misinterpreted Reb Dovid, then that Reb Dovid misinterpreted Reb Moshe. [BTW did you learn in MTJ? The last time I spoke to Reb Dovid — which was a number of years ago — the best way to reach him was on the Yeshiva payphone. Is this still the case?] and 2) you completely misconstrued what The Big One said; your paraphrasing him was punkt farkert from his point that there is no such halachic status as Posek Hador, (i.e. there would be no reason, let’s say, to follow Rav Moshe’s shiurim for the Pesach seder than those of the Chazon Ish) and that at least in America, the only other two personalities who were considered Gedolei Hador of that caliber of Reb Moshe were Rav Aharon Kotler and the Satmar Rebbe. NOT that Reb Moshe psak is always universally accepted. (i.e. do you enjoy a refreshing air conditioner on Shabbos that was turned on by a Shabbos clock – keneged the psak of Reb Moshe?) The problem The Big One pointed out, is that many of these people will accept Reb Moshe’s psak ONLY for his kulos (i.e. Mechitzas and Cholov Akum) while rejecting Reb Moshe’s psak when he is stringent.
Rob, I believe Reb Moshe’s psak vis-a-vis Cholov Stam (even with the fact Reb Moshe said it only applies Bshas Hadchak) is much more expansive than either the Pri Chodosh or the Chazon Ish.
mdlevine, dunno myself, try googling around with the relevant keywords. Or perhaps the Docs “Help” site or message board.
yankdownunder – What you, and Feivel, describe is more good reasons not to own a dog.
I believe the legality of the Chimp is unique to that smallish jurisdiction. And even there, because she owned it prior to its being banned, she was grandfathered in to the old law and allowed to continue maintaining it. Owning such a creature is illegal in the vast vast majority of jurisdictions in the U.S.
I _think_ the victim has stabilized, but is still in very serious condition.
