    It is not the same to be a tzadik ben tzadik where one has to work hard to live up to it and then he has double zechusim. The Mayanei shel Torah brings the Rebbi Meir from Premislan who says זה א-לי ואנוהו if a person recognizes his own G-d is beautiful but yichus G-d of my father might bring to gaive, haughtiness.

    Learning between mincha and maariv might be based to learn day and night which ben hashmosas might satisfy as well as learning at dawn.

    My father had a favorite saying in yiddish, ob es ist bashert tzu tantzen, tantz man, when it is fated to dance, one dances. It is based on a story where the brothers spent over night in a motel. Their room was located next to the bar. A drunken soldier, being in a good mood, picked one of them up from the bed and started to dance with him. He periodically would do this. Eventually he had enough and he told his brother to change places, figuring that as he was dancing with him, he will continue dancing but now with his brother. When the soldier came back, he said, I danced enough with you so I will dance with him. He ended up dancing with the same brother, so he said the above saying.

    Moish, you yourself still are not sure if Syag is a woman, so what are you talking about? I don’t see their personality revealed but you have revealed yours. Probably a bachur who is not sure about himself. You have not shown any halacha that this is an issur. Over here we discuss ‘gender neutral’ topics.

    Mosh26, are you a Rav? If not, don’t tell people what to do. Your own reference about talking to the opposite gender indicated it is ok as no flirtation is allowed here where even her voice quoted from the Beis Shmuel is not a problem. So if you are unhappy and have a problem, no one wants to hear your views and get off this platform. As pointed out the mods are available to make sure that no private and personnel information is conveyed. I think you are speaking shtusim and lakshen as כל הפוסל במומו פוסל, one faults with his own faults. The women over here communicate just as men where their views are gender neutral. Only you care if the communicator is a woman or man and no one else, so it looks like you have a problem. I don’t ask anyone because I don’t think it is a shaila. I will tell you a story that my father a’h told me. A Rav gave a drasha about the issur of bowling. Someone who wanted the Rav to see what he is talking about took him to a bowling alley and showed him how it is played by throwing the ball and knocking down the pins. The Rav said this is a game but not bowling. When asking a shaila, one must tell the Rav the full circumstances how people on the CR mostly don’t know each other to whom they are talking to by writing in public and the mods (supervisors) don’t allow any private and personnel information as I quoted by the policy and principles that have been instituted here for the communicators by threatening them to be booted off.

    Maaser kesafim is a minhag and not a chiyuv, rewarded well. The Dubner Maggid says that there was question above, why Hashem gives one more than kadei chayov, needed for survival? So Hashem said, I will give them ten times as much to be able to give maaser required for survival. If one does not give maaser, he will only get what is needed for his survival. This is what it says עשר בשביל שתתעשר, give maaser to become rich.

    I will quote the rules posted by the mods which should eliminate the problems discussed.

    Personal Info

    1 – Please don’t try to pry out personal information. Any questions or comments directed towards trying to “figure out” a blogger’s identity will not be tolerated.

    2 – Personal email addresses or websites will not be published. Posts that ask others to meet them at “Plonis” will not be approved. Should a blogger continuously try to pry personal information from others, he/she will be booted from YWN

    Avira, I will try to justify why Talmidei Chachomim’s name should be capitalized. There is a midrash peliah ויאמינו בה’ ובמשה עבדו – אם במשה האמינו בה’ לא כ’ש אם כן למה נאמר במשה שכל המאמין בת’ח כאלו מאמין בהקב’ה
    it should have said that Hashem is the obvious? No, the talmidei chachomim are the obvious as their strength emanates from Hashem. Similarly, Shimon Hamosini did not need to derive to fear a talmid chacham as that was obvious for him. However, for Rebbi Akiva, who hated originally talmidei chachamim, it was not so obvious. So if we capitalize Hashem, we should also capitalize the name of talmidei chachamim.

    I think that the CR is ‘not’ yichud under any condition as it is ‘public’ and the mods will ‘deter’ any personnel communication. Therefore it is ‘not’ assur as the OP perceives.

    When writing to each other is not really yichud as it is different than personnel private mingling where only the often communication creates the friendship to want a personnel meeting.

    You are right. In English there is no respect. The rebbi would be called you so we have to speak to him in third person. In Hungarian the greeting for the elderly is the Hungarian equivalent to, I kiss your hand. I call myself Reb Eliezer to try to indicate that the elderly should not be called on their first name. When one is called up by us to the Torah will be called as Reb ben Reb and Habochar and the Rav, Moreinu or Morah Moreinu.

    In English capitalizing is the way to give respect whereas in Hebrew one uses some extra words of praise. The RMA in the first teshuva says, לכבוד יתברך ויתרומם לפי מעלת מדרגתו.

    The svara is, if there is a stipulation that there will not be a discussion about each others family and private matters but business and politics, there is no problem as the ruling of kol beisha discussed above. The woman in her discussion is seen as a man. We don’t know what the gender is and women are asked as the men not to reveal their gender. No one knew that I was a man until I revealed it and maybe I should not have.
    Moish26 gave a reference above whether permitted to talk to another gender who says, ‘It is permitted for a man to talk to a woman regarding work or business related subjects [serious and to the point conversations’. This has a reference: See Beis Shmuel 21/4 “However hearing her voice during speech is permitted”; There is no prohibition found in Poskim regarding interaction with a woman for business related matters or other everyday activity, and so is the custom even amongst G-d fearing Jews to have work conversations with women when necessary.
    Over here it does not say they don’t know each other, so it says when necessary.

    Since you don’t read I must repeat what I wrote:
    What is says אל תרבה שיחה עם אשה, don’t speak much with a woman, I don’t think applies if you don’t know her, see her or hear her. Her political views or Torah views will not affect you.
    We have to compare apples to apples and not apples to oranges. The wife the husband recognizes and knows, so must be others. The kal vechamer has a pircha, can be questioned. She will tell what you said about other people to the neighbors which can cause friction.

    Someone put one hand in his pants pocket, so he told him to put both hands in there as אין דבר שבערוה פחות משנים. He says about straw hats, der heim hat man gelegt der stroi inter the behamos du legt man es auf die behemas, at home they put the straw under the cattle but over here we put it on top of them.

    It says ויתן להם ארצות גוים בעבור ישמרו חוקיו the land of other nations were given to them (us) to keep Hashem’s laws, so if we don’t keep the Torah, the land is not ours. The first Rashi says that Hashem took it away from the kenanim and gave it to us on the condition that we keep the Torah otherwise what makes us better than them?

    Ray, as mentioned above by a detailed pesak from Rav Ovadyah Yosef ztz’l in Yabia Omer (1,6) that if you don’t know and see her, kol beisha is ‘not’ ervah. Communication over here is not personal which should be ok as stated in the recommended discussion by the Shulchan Aruch Harav website. You would not know but Reb Eliezer is not a woman.
