    someone used the phrase “Thousands of Gedolim”

    Was that a typo? it sounds like an oxymoron

    I side with miritchka.

    to BaalHabooze:

    maybe so, but is everything he does, A story to be reported?

    last word.

    to shein: it depends what you mean. most rabbonnim wouldnt touch a question like this and would refer it to someone of gadol or near gadol status.

    I can’t think why, all they need do is post and wait for an answer. (sneer)

    This public discussion is dangerous and can lead to being machshil people.

    mods, what do you think?

    This is my last word on this topic

    To Dr. Seuss:

    Yes indeed, that was the point.

    As I wrote in earlier post, such a situation requires the attention of competent rabbonnim, not to be trifled with by

    coffee addicts.

    There is at least one in igros moshe that required a get

    and at least one that did not.

    what do you mean, “A famous story”.

    Many such stories have happend and each requires

    being dealt with by competent rabbonnim.

    it is unfortunate that young people (boys and girls)

    sometimes regard doing this as a great joke.

    the proper response of the girl should be to immediately

    remove and return or drop the ring; and/or she should immediately

    say, “no I am not!”. or something to that effect.

    RE: homonym: a homonym is a word that sounds the same as another.

    the term you want may be cognate

    I have only read a few of the posts on this thread and will offer

    no opinion on what bp needs now.

    I am offended by the thread itself.

    The very idea of saying what they should become and asking

    others for opinions! What gall!

    re: when they pelted the tzeduki with esrogim.

    There is some historical confusion as to who exactly this was.

    Josephus is not always to be completely accepted.

    Many afghans believe they are descended from the the lost tribes

    and will even claim to know which shevet. they are nominally moslems, though.

    It usually isnt bees that you see in your succah or ‘Bee’ trap.

    it is usually yellow jackets or other type of wasp.

    They are more willing to sting than bees, but still probaply

    won’t unless they feel attacked.

    try concentrating on the sof pasuk and esnachta and the rest may fall into place. if that doesnt do it, try the zakef katon.

    1) you think they do it b’dvaka? they couldn’t do that if they wanted to.

    Those you refer to who get almost every word wrong have no feeling for it.

    2) the use of “baal koreh” certainly is correct. it is used in gemorroh kidushin.

    other terms may be correct also. but I have never heard the term baal makre. (how do you enter hebrew characters?

    3) RE: ????”? ???? ?????? ??

    (I cut and pasted that)

    do you ever recite t’helos?

    also: In practice this question rarely applies since a person who must eat on yom kippur will generally eat only very small amounts

    at one time, not enough to be kiddush b’makom seudah.

    Regarding Rav yisroel Salanter making kiddush:

    This fact is disputed, and there contradictory versions of the

    story each perportedly traceble to people who were there!

    TO OOMIS1105

    Not so simple. Who is the rav to you? Do you always rely on him?

    Has the psak been reliably proven wrong? ( I mean proven. for example, he forgot a ruling in shulchan aruch and does not have an explanation as to why he ruled differently).

    more such ifs could be posed.

    alopecia is a very general term. however some forms of alopecia

    are an auto-immune disorder.

    is that how one gets a psak halacha these days,

    post a question to an open forum for various peoples opinions?

    As an aside, some who daven asheknaz do say hallel.

    In the lakewood yeshiva, they say hallel after waiting

    a few moments for the non-sayers to leave.

    Rav Shneur used to walk out also, and then slip back

    in and say a hallel from the back of the shule.
