This psak sounds curious. Does it apply to a ger toshav? Is that discussed in the halacha? (my otzar hachochma was running too slow last night, and now I’m too busy to look it up)

It was a story about how he had just built a log fence around his yard which took him two days to build, and then overnight the entire fence disappeared!

But then his friend told him that he had seen a large pile of logs in the backyard of the shul’s gabbai!

So what should he do? Should he confront him??

yeah, we figured out you were trolling already yesterday.

I don’t think it would work for the liver, particularly since it is broiled. You generally need a food processor if you want to grind your liver.

Alternatively, you can just mince or dice it with a knife, and that tastes excellent as well.

Yes, a YWN sheva brachos would be a very fine thing.

My husband loves Meal Mart chopped liver

Yah me too. Maybe I’m your husband.

It is best if you do the following to it:

Fry like 5 onions. Add them in.

Boil like 8 eggs. Add them in.

Add kosher salt, and grind in some pepper (I like to use the tri-color one).

Put the whole thing in a ziplock back and then break up the eggs by squeezing them through the bag, and then mix it all up like that also.

And that is what is mean that shabbos is ???? ???? ???

Yes, you should apologize.

Popa made a mean popa’s pizza tonight. Used red onions. Lots of fennel. Used up the last of the parmesan that’s been in the freezer for months for this purpose.

I wish the US would adopt Israel’s gun policies. The National Rifle Association would probably turn anti-Semitic, though, as Israel has draconian restrictions on who is permitted to have a firearm.

Not sure what that means. Everyone in Israel has a gun.

And what in the world do you mean that they would turn anti-semitic? Do you naturally assume that your political opponents are anti-semitic?

PBA: You’re kind of unfairly quoting R’ Moshe’s T’shuvah though. If you read it carefully, he says that it’s Muttar (when not Begged Ish) just that it’s not worth it if your Kavanah is for Apikorsus, because then you’re changing it from a Ma’aseh Mitzvah into a Ma’aseh Apikorsus.

Yes, but let’s be more precise. He says if you are motivated by “feminism” then it is assur. And WOW is unquestionably and in their own words “feminist”.

Sam2: To the best of my knowledge, there is no machloket whether women are ALLOWED to do mitzvos asei shehazman gerama. Rambam is clear in Hilchos Tzitzis that they can perform these mitzvos and we shouldn’t discourage them. The Mechaber in Orach Chaim by hilchos tzitzis says the same thing, but adds that women shouldn’t make berachos. The Rema over there says they do.

I linked Rav Moshe’s teshuva above, that it is assur.

Seriously, do you only read your own posts?

Any real man would own at least a handgun and a rifle and shotgun. If you don’t, you’re probably really a woman. Just saying.

I don’t know much, but I hear that the son of the guy who runs it is brilliant, worldly, highly educated, and incredibly good looking.

they don’t mention us by name

They use them to book flights for other people, for which they are paid more than they paid you.

You could do that also, if you had enough points to book flights for people, and advertised to people who wanted to buy flights so they would come buy from you.

Meanwhile, Rivky had other ideas.

Unbeknownst to her parents, but very beknownst to the NSA, Rivky had been working in her secret laboratory for many years on a vaccine for the shidduch crisis, and she thought she had finally found it. Once she obtained FDA approval, the shidduch crisis would be over. And once the shidduch crisis was over, she would be free to marry whomever her father chose.

A couple of relevant points.

Being openly gay is not the same as engaging in the relevant issurim, and there are levels of issurim which are less than actual arayos.

I don’t know if people are gay because of genetics; because of genetic predispositions and environmental triggers; only because of environmental triggers; only or partially because of other issurim they did; or only or partially because of other hashkafos they have. But I don’t think it really matters. Because I do know that regardless of the above, they aren’t making a conscious or easily reversible choice. The same way nobody makes a conscious choice to be depressed even though it may be due to any of the above factors or more.

Thus, there is such a thing as being gay, which is something I don’t think should be looked down on–in itself. If they are doing issurim, that is wrong. And if they are advancing hashkafos that challenge the Torah, that is also wrong.

So perhaps this minyan is wrong (I don’t have enough info), but some of this thread is also wrong.

Blast it, I was hoping this was going to be troll thread. No fair.

Finally, I want to point out that the kindest characterization of WOW that I’ve seen on this thread is “misguided”. Some other choice epithets include “wackadoodles”, “crazies”, “garbage spewers”, “nutcases”, “avoda zara worshipers”, “stroking their own egos”, “arrogant”, “conceited”, “ignorant”, and “worse than Moslems”,

Good point. I am making a machooh about whomever called them only misguided.

It is not for us to judge Women of the Wall or anyone else. Only Hashem is the True Judge, and I for one trust Him to do His job.

Is that a standard you only apply for them? You don’t want to judge people? Good, stop judging me, and the other posters here, and while you’re at it stop judging people who throw garbage at them, and everyone else who does stuff you disagree with.

But I disagree with you. It is absolutely our job in this world to decide what is right and wrong.

Except the Sharansky compromise is mixed davening. Surely you won’t advocate mixed davening at the Kotel?

It’s in a different section. If I could stop mixed davening anywhere in the world, and certainly at the kosel, I would. But if it is in a different section and doesn’t infringe on us at all, I suppose I can deal with it if I need to.

The same way I deal with the avoda zara on top from the moslems, I can deal with their avoda zara. (Not exactly: Islam is much closer to Judaism than they are.)
