What is the problem with it?
Did you say you WANT to live in a place because it is at war?
That is very disturbing.
Anyone know this song:
?????? ???? ???? ??????, ??????, ??, ?????? ????: ??-????? ???-?????? ??-?????, ?? ?????
We discussed it once on the CR.
Wasn’t America the country where people got fired every Friday afternoon because of shabbos? I find it hard to believe that your boss would fire you if you told him you wanted to finish work at 5pm on Friday in the summer.
Welcome to the real world.
lol
No, you are looking for yeshivish wannabe. There is a difference.
The Beis Yosef is citing Rabbeinu Yerucham. Everyone agrees that that has halachic weight with regards to whether one can eat kitnios.
I don’t agree to that.
I think it has as much halachic weight as citing the passuk about how pesach is 7 days as proof that you don’t need to keep 8 days in chutz l’aretz.
How can citing a source from 800 years ago have any bearing on a minhag that has developed since then?
Abortion has nothing to do with Techeiles so quoting the Rambam about abortion is not a “point” vis-a-vis Techeiles.
Neither is citing the beis yosef about an ashkenazi minhag.
Why near manhattan? Why not IN manhattan.
UWS, UES, LES, Washington heights.
That’s in the second stanza. The part about the foe’s haughty host.
It hasn’t been composed yet.
That’s an arbitrary place to draw the line. I think that if the words of the point include torah words, then even if the application of those words to a specific halacha is invalid for whatever nitpicky reason, it is still a halachic point.
But, if you must, I will now prove the we do not wear techeiles even when moshiach comes, from rishonim and acharonim.
1. The Tur says that there is no chanan by shaar issurim.
2. The Rambam says that abortion by an eino yehudi is chayav misah.
3. The mizmor l’dovid has a novel approach to why yekke’s wait 3 hours.
4. Rav Ovadia Yosef ztz”l said that the first ashkenazim who came to Eretz Yisroel should have adopted sfardi minhagim which was the minhag hamakom.
Disagreeing with the application of the points does not make them not halachic points.
Well, in that case, here are my halachic points proving that you should not wear techeiles even when moshiach comes.
1. The aseres hadibros don’t mention techeiles.
2. The torah says that Hashem kept shabbos and that’s why we have to keep shabbos–but what does that have to do with techeiles.
3. If you have a house full of sifrei torah, do you still need a blue string?
4. Korach is the same root as kerach which means ice. Ice is blue. So korach = techeiles, and the torah says not to be like korach.
I know you may disagree with the application of some of these points, but you’ll certainly concede they are halachic points.
Oh say can you see,
by the dawns early light,
the stock traders rushing to work,
while ignoring the urban blight,
whose broad bonuses and bright computer screens,
through the night after night,
o’er their upturned noses they watched,
the stock ticker’s streaming,
and the homeless guy’s glare,
the pollution in air,
gave proof through the night,
that they just did not care,
oh say does that 1 percenter yet wave,
to the college graduate pouring his coffee,
who’s probably to “lazy” to be saved.
Because people want things on Friday during work hours. (9-12)
None of those are halachic points. They are all naarishkeit points.
1. So what? Quite a stretch to apply that to those who came en mass after the war and outnumber the sfardim.
2. That was hundreds of years ago.
3. That is the beis yosef — not ashkenazi.
4. Also hundreds of years ago, and a cherry picked source from that era.
Coffee is avodah zara. Any backpack that costs more than $25 is avodah zara, unless it’s guaranteed for life by Land’s End or similar.
uh oh. My backpacking backpack was like 250 or 300.
Lowe Alpine Cerro Torre, I seem to recall.
In the winter, people finish work early to make shabbos – why not in the summer as well, just because shabbos is later and it seems manageable to do a complete normal work day on Friday?
Because I will be fired if I do. During the winter, they accommodate me at great difficulty because I am not allowed to work.
Also, during the winter, I can do that work motzei shabbos.
Popa, let’s rephrase Sam’s question with slightly different wording; a few weeks ago, even ‘early’ shabbos in Gateshead was at 8.30. Do you really not finish work before then?
Welcome to the real world.
That “gvir” in shul who you count on to pull the school’s budget? He’s working until midnight while you put your kids to sleep and eat dinner with your family and read bedtime stories and make lag b’omer bbq’s.
you will end up shlugging kaporos with an esrog.
He grew up in an odd heim.
Welcome to the real world.
I recognize that not everyone can get a “good” job these days, but the people being subsidized ought to realize the kind of work that people put into these “good” jobs.
This isn’t work?
To paraphrase the old joke: How do you know Moshe Rabbeinu wore a tie? Because it says “vayispalel moshe,” and do you seriously think Moshe would daven without a tie?
Also says ?????. Probably difference is that no saf when he didn’t wear a tie.
VM is right. The only good wealthy father is a edited wealthy father.
VM, would you please draft us that anthem?
There is no place on earth that shabbos comes in before the time that I am likely to finish working on any other night.
Making early shabbos is an extreme luxury. I’m glad you all have it.
Nu, I’ve made mistakes before. Still, I did have the idea in my head somehow. And maybe a different medrash says otherwise.
All the cool posters are on the unofficial list. If you don’t know about it, you aren’t supposed to.
Do you think Hashem only kept shabbos in some parts of the world?
Try having a kiddush club. Definitely makes it more enjoyable.
Hike the Devil’s Path. You can do it in a day.

Destroying one’s own property is an Issur of Bal Tashchis.
Especially if such property happens to be a tree near a city under siege.
You need to catch them first. Try the north seas near norway.
The therapist’s rov? Who is the therapist’s rov? What does he know about your family? What does he and his third hand information have to do with you?
More importantly: What kind of therapist cites her rov as an opinion on issues of which he knows nothing about?
(Your therapist pays your son to come? Do you mean that you pay the therapist to pay your son to come? Why are you sneaking around your son instead of being honest with him? Where do you think he learned to sneak around you?)
Ever heard of R’ David Bar-Hayim?
No, I haven’t.
Worst is when you get invited somewhere and then the people decide they are making early shabbos.
Did Hashem make early shabbos when he created the world? I’ll prove not–Odom Harison was created bein hashemashos, so you wouldn’t even exist if He had. Thus, under the principle of “I think therefore I am,” since I am able to ask that question, I must exist, in which case Hashem must have not made early shabbos.
When I visit family, they always want to make early shabbos. I tell them: you do whatever you need to do, and I’ll show up whenever I can show up. This has the added value of not having to sit through sholom aleichem, aishes chayil, etc.
Manchester has a much better football team.
Wayne Rooney!
Or maybe ties aren’t.
Only the first two stanzas. I don’t know anything after:
“now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
its full glory reflected now shines on the stream,
Ti’s the star spangled banner oh long may it wave,
o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave”
I’ve moved beyond chicago style pizza. I got a pizza stone and one of those wooden paddles they use in the pizza shops, and now it’s NY style pizza, for the win.
It is too a bbq. You do it in a smoker, over applewood chips.
Notice I didn’t say to light the grill!
Popa’s summer bbq recipe:
Light bbq.
Put meat on.
Turn meat over.
Take meat off.
BTW: it’s dayo “l’bah min hadin”–it is enough for the matter which comes from a “din” (din means kal vchomer)–lihiyos knidon–to be like the matter being judged
Took me very many years in yeshiva before I thought two seconds about this phrase and realized that “dayo lavoh min hadin” is nonsense
I’ve never been in a shul that could say pitum haketores faster than me.
My wife apologizes.
The desire to hunt for sport is cruel. Animals feel pain and fear, and we are a nation of rachmanim bnei rachmanim. Achzorius IS cruelty, and speaks to a middah of intrinsic hardness of the heart. There is nothing “sporting” about chasing an animal down until it is too tired or weak to get away. Nimrod and Esav were known to be mighty hunters. Their depiction in the Torah or Medrash, is not a flattering one.
I agree.
Its anyway stealing because all the wild game belongs to the king.
