    @ maskildoresh I meant no disrespect to reb akiva eiger. I meant extra for iyun and I wrote the wrong word. But I am glad that you fulfill the mantra of the site: quick to judge and to attack. Some times people make mistakes. I would change it now if the mods let from fluff to extras. I have a lot of respect for reb akiva eiger.

    I know many people who would agree with you and I would be incline to agree with you. But I personally have not gotten the “pull” from reb akiva eiger. And I know many other people who may not understand his phsatim. So that is why I didn’t put it on the list. But you didn’t put it on your list. Do you feel that everyone should have the tools to learn iyun or are you assuming that everyone is including the people who don’t learn iyun?

    I was talking about every home. I use all these seforim and they are helpful for both inyan and bekisus. If one does not have the skill to learn in depth, than one should have more english seforim to aid him. I did not mention rabbi akiva ayier, tofos rid, etc… because theses are extras. The ones I mention, I feel are important and very useful to understand rashi/tofos and halacha.

    The A”H’s heter is based off that since there is no hirhur therefore there is no problem of erva. The whole sugyia there in brachos is based off this assumption. There is a difference in “proper” erva which is forbidden even without concern of hirhur and between the additions that chazal added that are also forbidden because they generally lead to hirhur even if at that moment there is no hirhur.

    But I don’t think you properly answer the OP’s question

    “we follow the custom of the current behavior” may or may not be a good argument but the proof from the A”H does not have legs to stand on. He is discussing that since rm”l married woman go with their hair uncovered, we can make brachos in front uncover hair. He holds it is forbidden to walk around uncovered both there and in even haever. The sugiya of making brachos has nothing to do with walking around half naked. There is an iyan to get dressed underneath covers. That would be more comparable than making brachos.

    As in a side, We can make brachos in front of other man because their bodies to us isn’t eruvah just like a woman to another woman.

    All the best

    With all due respect reb eliezer, that Aruch Hashulan has nothing to do with the question. There is no concept of erurah by the man besides for the evurah (and maybe the other private part) but besides for that, one may make brachos opposite a man wearing only undergarments. The chiddish of the Aruch Hashulan is not needed. And no one I know applies it to anywhere but to hair.

    His question is based off sensitivity. Should one wear a shirt or not?

    It is an argument among the posikim. I believe it is discussed in aven haazer (shulan aruch). The general halacha is that it is muttar. But some still say it is a good idea to do it in order to avoid potential touching.

    @Kluger Yid. I believe that you have made some good points but I disagree with one premise of yours. Namely, the punishment reveals the severity of the sin. I don’t know fully understand why, but punishment doesn’t always reveal the severity of sin. For instance, it is brought down by many seforim that zera levavtala is a huge sin but it is “only” a lav. Other one is hugging or kissing niddah (or any other non relative) because one has to give up his life even though it is a lav but not shabbos. There are other examples but I can’t remember off the top of my head.

    Your points of Western thinking is valid and I am only coming to argue on this one point.

    Neville, you missed my point that if they learnt differently, there would be a different flaw. (like they couldn’t learn in depth). Obviously, the flaw we have now is that they don’t learn halacha. You can easily fix it by learning halacha during halacha seder (which is at least a half hour a day). You have built in the system to learn halacha. And many do have a upbringing in halacha and learn during that time. The ones that don’t do this have this problem. You feel it is a majority but I disagree. I do feel though, that they incapable of deriving what the correct halacha is, since they never learnt it in depth. But they do know about the same amount of halacha as their wives. (if not, the difference is minor, not major).

    So whats the problem Neville? The bochrim either become a baal battim or get married and stay in learning and than learn halacha from their wives 🙂 . In my personal experience, the guys that learn halacha (Tor and S”A) during the afternoon seder, which is not the majority, tend to learn more halacha regarding Shabbos, daily life and niddah.

    As in a side, all systems have flaws, so it may be beneficial to point out the flaws in our current system, but it doesn’t negate the flaws if we learnt differently. It is a though question to answer which negative is worse than the other one. So hence, my comment about our current limud.

    I think our Yeshiva system answers your question. But you don’t have a question, you just want to complain that no one who learns all day knows any halacha. Which may or not be true (I personally disagree), but our Yeshiva system was set up by Gedolaim. So this post and your post is a waste of time…….

    I recommend the Vilna Shas. It is only 270 and it is beautiful print. I personally like it because the the pages of the Rif is the same as most shases( sura hadaf) and there is list of poskim on the side of the gemera that are quoted by the gemera, rashi and tofos. I personally use them all the time.

    I have learnt Mishnayos and I think that one can’t understand Tumah/Tarharah fully without learning Seder Tarahos. Mishanyos is a “easy” way to finish Shas and is a Key to Shas as you put it. I highly recommend learning Mishnayos with the Tiferious Yisrael instead of the RAV (if you can’t do both) as he explains everything in great detail.

    To little I know: According to most Rishomin, they learn that one must get drunk. They all argue about the amount. ONE Rishon, Rabbinue Efraim, says that is forbidden. However, we don’t hold like him. The S”A holds literally Ad Dlo Yada and the Rama mentions the more lenient pasak. However, he ends off with “whatever you have a LOT or a little as long as you intend for kovad Shmayim”. It is clear that the Rama is saying that there is a mitzah to get smashed on purim. You can’t complain on being get drunk. You can only complain against the people who are only fulfilling the first part of his statement and not the second half.

    Funny, my Mishana says that one should DAVEN for the kingdom. It makes no mention of the specifically saying a tefillah (written by non-chazal) at kiras hatorah PERMANTLY. Also, this has nothing to do with saying a mishibrech for the IDF soldiers. Want to say tellim for the state? That is a complete different discussion.

    anon1m0us: Why should you dictate how one or even a group of people do hakaros hatov? There are halichik problems of saying that teffilah (for example, one can not institute a PERMANENT addition teffilah that was not compose by chazal). Why can’t they express it in other ways?

    If you claim that they don’t have any hakaros hatov, than I disagree.

    To the OP, it is easier to avoid a major mistake than it is to be a good husband/wife. To get more practical advice, you are better off for asking advice what you should do. My tip, housework jobs isn’t dependent on gender and nothing is anyone jobs. Whatever you and your spouse work out together is fine. It may take some time in the marriage, like a few months, for you to figure it out.

    I don’t know this subject so well, but stama generally means that we can assume that it is use for A”Z, while safek means that we have a doubt. The Shach is saying that since it is the regular way of villages to create their statues for A”Z, we have to assume that it was built in this village for A”Z as well. However, it is the normal way for cities to build the statues for beauty. Therefore, we can assume that it was not used for A”Z and we don’t even have a doubt about it. However, if in the village case, there is a reason to doubt if the statue was built for beauty or A”Z, we are machimir and treat it like A”Z. I hope that this is helpful.

    Take2, I can’t believe that you are degrading Rav Auerbach! He is a gadol. Period. The halacha of Yachid vrabim halacha krabim doesn’t Hass Vashalom mean that the Yachid is a nobody. Rather it means in HALACHA, we go like the rabim. However, the Yichid’s students can go like the Yichid. And anyhow, this is a case of haskafah, so your logic is flawed.

    It seems to me that everyone is being very judgmental about the protests. They are being called animals and other names by many posters. If they are following Rav Auerbach’s instructions, people have no right to insult them. Does anyone <b>really know<b> that they are not listening to Dass Torah or are they just assuming that they are not? If they are following Dass Torah, please stop insulting them. It doesn’t matter if your Dass Torah says the opposite. They are doing what they know is right.

    I don’t understand the premise here. Why do you need a picture of a happy couple to teach you to love your spouse? This picture or any other picture of a happy couple doesn’t teach you anything about marriage. All it shows is a husband and a wife sitting/standing together. Which like WinnieThePoo said, can be even by a couple with a bad marriage.
