Now that the form of affection thing has been cleared up, maybe huju could just say that it’s a hilchos Shabbos matter that should have nothing to do with transportation to the Catskills
i think that this is a good hashkafah question maybe you should ask it on Thursday night at your local cholent hole
insert another irrelevantly long comment here
I would just point out, as a condemnation to the rioters, that they have a very popular phrase: Black Lives matter. The phrase is not ‘all lives matter’, and I saw approximately Zero multi-national companies condemning the shooter in the NJ supermarket, or the stabbing on Purim, or even the 1000 monthly terrorist attacks in Israel. In fact, there weren’t even any riots at all after these terrible acts. Why are Black lives more important than Jewish lives, or Asian lives, or any other? All we got after the crown heights atrocities was a procrastinating government. If the world cared about Lives besides victimized people who want attention, they would do the same for all races and ethnicites. Not just ‘blacks’, or whatever you want to call them.
Just my opinion
Joseph, you are implying that I am allowed to steal nontangible intellectual property. is that right? what does shaving have to so with it? How did you answer the question? what’s your therefore? so many questions…
Phil:
You ignored what he said… you also ignored the numerous Poskei Hador that said Shaving is Assur. No matter what side you are on, there are Gedolim. This is Torah, with different sides and Machlokes. to say that Joseph is saying fake Halacha is not true. it’s like calling Ashkenazim fake because of Sephardi rabbis. there is Mesorah and what your Rav says. do not call him fake (and don’t call him Josephine)CONCLUSIVELY: Even though there are numerous Gedolim hat say shaving is Assur, having a Kashah on people that shave is like having a Kashah on Ashkenaz and Sefard. it is a matter of Mesorah, and If your Rav says you can shave, It does not matter what the Gedolim say…
FOLLOW YOUR RAV! DO NOT CHANGE YOUR MINHAG OR HAVE A TA’ANAH ON YOUR RAV IF HE SAYS YOU CAN SHAVE!Additionally, 5ish, there are so many people that take a Gadol’s name and do what they want with it. Maybe this is one of them.
P.S. showing me the sources is how I become familiar with the Sugya. what you said is an oxymoron…What I’m not getting is that with all the Piskei Din in the world, the fact is that most Yeshivos (including Chofetz Chaim and many others) are Matir shaving… they can’t all be wrong.
(Also, Rav Ovadia, Rav Moshe, Rav Tzvi Pesach Frank, and Rav Chaim Ozer all appear to be Meikel regarding electric shavers. )Is there a source for the Psak Din?
Me personally, I am a Chofetz Chaim Guy. People ask me all the time why we are said to learn differently than other Yeshivos. I always reply that we don’t focus so much on bringing in as many P’shatim as possible, rather we ask one simple question: what is the step of the Gemara trying to do, and we go on from there. bringing in all the P’shatim without fully getting the Hava Amina or the answer is not conclusive learning, according to me at least. this is why we go so slowly (compared to other Yeshivos), regarding the famous joke regarding Pesachim’s famous first phrase, אוֹר לְאַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר: it takes 3 months for Chofetz Chaim guys to get out of the box.”
