Go home, check it out, make it happen, wrap it up, l’chaim, vort, wedding after shvuos, come back for Elul, she can parade in Ramat Eshkol while you shteig away. No worries, life is easy. The kibbud av should bring in a nice monthly check. Makes Pesach in Flatbush almost worthwhile.
Using any “adamah” is ok from a purely halachic bracha standpoint. A strawberry also works.
A normal way of thinking would suggest some sort of green vegetable akin to real “karpas” which is a type of celery.
In Europe these types were scarce , and some, like parsley, were unknown, resulting in odd vegetables being used, such as the potato . Sometimes the narrow halachah or minhag isn’t enough, and using common sense is beneficial.Yanky55 is correct.
The cause is a poor secular education and an indifference to the importance of literacy.
It’s not a problem
a matzeiva?
Only HebrewGenerally, when the Ramo states “v’yesh omrim”, he is espousing the Ashkenazic custom and is supporting it over the Mechaber’s position. So yes, l’chatchilah.
When a mitzvah is “about the money”, it’s no longer a mitzvah, it’s just business. But if the business norm is to pay non-family, then you must pay family too. The shadchan cannot be punished for being part of your family.
Hatzlachah on your third date, I’m sure you will know all you need to know about her after this date.I live in Israel. I am very familiar with Chabad and Chabadniks and have very little good to say about their philosophy. But to claim that their women are in violation of tznius regulations is patently false and an evil statement to boot.
It’s not complicated.
Set them up, let them go out, and let them decide for themselves.
That’s much better than a few dozen anonymous know-it-alls controlling their lives via the internetI try not to give to funds that are cursed, it’s not a good investment. A better investment is to proofread before pressing the “Submit” button

It’s Rabbi Berel Wein. The Slabodka philosophy is about respect, no? Then please give respect.
I have a better idea. No healed hospitalized person should be discharged from the hospital until ALL hospital patients are cured.
Obviously, 100 eidim is a quantitative exaggeration made to prove the point. The gemara could have said ten or a thousand, the point would be the same. Exaggeration (guzma) is an often-used linguistic tool in halachic literature.
Sorry, my apologies, it was obviously written in wry humor, and I was slow to get it. I retract my attack.
A choleh is a “cheftza shel mitzvah” ?
I cannot believe a Jew can write such a thing.
I’m shocked at the lack of mentshlichkeit and common sense.
I assume this attitude is a rarity, otherwise the Torah world is in tatters.Have him read B’samim Rosh
That way he can become a talmid chacham while reading fictionPhotos are inappropriate, period. The impression here is that the Litvishe Torah world condones this practice and even gives it borderline approval. To reduce a bas yisrael to her physical attributes? Horrible. This is reality? Maybe, but it is certainly not Torah.
Shuls have absolute rights to determine kibbudim of all types. If a shul decides that a non-member has no rights, then he has no rights. His level of “chiyuv” (sic) is irrelevant. If he has yahrzeit or is in shloshim, he must find a stranger-friendly shul. That is the minhag (there is no halachah here, except that the shul has absolute authority) as practiced in Europe for hundreds of years. A good example is the proclamation on the back wall of the Alte-neu shul in Prague from the days of the Noda B’yehudah. Easily available online.
