Oh really? The Gemara does not mention a Shadchan, ever! According to you, would he only get Malkus if this happened on the street? It is very clear that you did not see the many other places where the Gemara brings only one of these. It also seems like you did not see this Gemara, either. And on that basis you dismiss what others who have learned it, say?
Are you calling a Beshow and an arranged marriage the same thing?
Friedman’s had many versions of item that no one else carried. I mean, who else had maple honey?
This means, according to the Jewish law, you can see [an eligible Jewish girl] anywhere, and [find out more about her, and eventualy] ask her to marry you.
Michael, what is causing you to assume that Shidduchi and Shadchan are the same word? Are Geneiva and Ganav one and the same, as well?
80, that’s very funny. How’d you suggest I spell it?
Since you asked for a correction, Shidduchi means the negotiations beforehand. In other words, by going out, no matter through who, you are being Yotze Shidduchi. You don’t think the Nun is arbitrary, do you?
Midwesterner, it’s a translation problem. I’m sure you know what he’s referring to.
They mean to cross their fingers. Clasped can mean holding one hand in the other.
Certain things became Assur after they became the way of the Ovdei Kochavim. The Avos brought Karbanos on a Matzeiva. But after it became the way of the Ovdei Kochavim it became Assur.
You constantly see people making fake gestures, that they saw in some movie or another. When you hear a good line from someone, odds are he got it from a movie. People even bring proof from movies to certain phenomena even when the movie is a regular fiction movie.
Someone should put out a video of the whole process, from speaking with the Gadol to the final draft.
You felt with them and nothing can make a person’s suffering lighter as having others truly feeling along. Even if you caused them to cry at the time you only made them feel better. They will remember it always and will be deeply thankful.
Charlie, you seem to be saying that you do agree that it is the case, although you can’t understand why it should be that way.
Besides for people following celebrities, there is another issue. When people see something acted out in 3D they get convinced very fast. Alot of ideas got universaly accepted that way. They show you things on the screen and then you feel like a first hand witness. In general it is not that hard to get people excited over something. Had it been that hard, we wouldn’t have had all those pogroms, crusades and organized killings.
80, did you ever diagnose it?

Kapusta, you’d get a lot further if you’d post each letter in a different post instead of a new line.
Oomis, did you notice anyone agreeing here? Report it immediately!
It was Nogei’a by the oil spill, not now. We don’t have to start outsourcing disaster relief now.
Morid Sheol Vayaal.
Shlishi, the idea is that it should not be noticed. In that case, I should mention not to get the one with blinking lights, as they might shine through the shirt.
Bein_Hasdorim, that P.S. was for me?
Mr. Stuck, anyone around here long enough knows that that is not the case.
HaLeVia says, too girly might mean that she actually got insulted when he casually made a rude or nasty comment.
I think you should try to make the pants waist elastic. The belt might be adding unnecessary weight.
Why, how do you know there’s no other ideas? For example, suspenders under the shirt, or to over starch the trousers until they can stand on their own.
There is nothing incorrect with what you described, as long as you bow while going back.
Your second point was once discussed here, I think. As you say, nobody has a Mekor. I haven’t seen any Talmid Chacham do it, either.
I see now that you covered my point well enough in your “takeaway”.
Very good point. It bothers me, too, to see the free for all attitude that prevails these days in this matter.
Having said that, let’s remember that we have a rule that Eilu Va’eilu Divrei Elokim Chayim. In practical Halacha it is impossible to follow both. Therefore there are rules of who to follow. In Hashkafa, the different aspects of all Shitos can be recognized. There are times when Chazal knocked out a certain Shita. In that case, as you mentioned, it is Assur to hold that way, since Chazal tell up it is actually wrong. But on an issue such as how old Avraham Avinu was who he recognized Hashem, we don’t Pasken like any particular Medrash. We understand that there are different aspects to recognizing Hashem, and Eilu Va’eilu.
Chovos Halevavos are not really just Aggaditta. It is a practical matter, whether you should believe in a certain matter or not.
I never heard of the term being misused.
You can be a most valuable tool to any organization, since the kids will connect with you when you tell them your position. It will help them make their decision to come back when they realize and understand that it doesn’t mean becoming a Frummy and learning all day. Some of these kids went off because they felt they couldn’t live up to the high ideals described by their mentors.
Hey y’know, you can always sew it to your undershirt or use safety pins. If that is not an option, sew strong magnets onto the bottom of your shirt and on the corresponding areas of your pants waist.
ItcheSrulik, are you saying that Shlomo Hamelech wrote Shir Hashirim for his wife!? It is one Sefer that the whole point of it is its Nimshal. Chazal say that to a worthy woman we say look who Shlomo Hamelech used as a Mashal for the Torah. Look at Rashi and the Ibn Ezra in the beginning of Shir Hashirim.
You know that that person won’t have an Aveira, so there is no Lifnei Iver. What your Posek probably told you was that you shouldn’t ask someone to carry for you. Even that is not that simple, since it isn’t Amira Le’akum. By a Yid there is a concept of Ein Shliach Lidvar Aveira. However, if you hold that the problem of Amira Le’akum is Vedabru Davar, then you would have a problem saying it straight out.
I think you can find the Magen David symbol in the ancient mosaics in Eretz Yisroel. I can’t really say that is a good proof, though, since you can find some other symbols there, too. Perhaps not all of them were so Frum. Also, the Gemara says that if a non Jew made one of the images that we are prohibited from making, you may Daven there. I doubt that applies to the Jupiter images though.
Yesterday, I saw a Tshuva from Reb Moshe. The questioner asked if he is Mechuyav to rip off the Magen David from the Paroches, since as we all know, it is Avoda Zara Mamish. Reb Moshe replied that although he doesn’t know the significance of the symbol, while he does suggest one, it has been on Perochos for centuries — long before Zionism. All of our greatest leaders had it in their Shul and it never bothered anyone.
Actually, in one of the Heimishe papers, a few years ago, there was a supplement about old Shuls of Europe. In the picture of the big Shul of Satmar, you can see a nice Magen David on the outside of the Shul.
Sam, if you take a peek at the wiccan books, you’ll see that, amongst other things, they quote kabballa or cabbala, or perhaps qaballa if they’re in a good mood. The four elements are common to all other-than-science systems. They took ideas from up way back when, and continue until our time. In the little bit that I read about Greek mythology, it was interesting to note that when you get past the lowly behavior attributed to deities, they have stuff that match pretty well with the setup according to Kabballa. So, as is often important to point out, we shouldn’t base our actions on Ovdei Avoda Zara, not by following them nor by dropping anything found alluded to in their writings. We come from our own sources and that’s it.
OK. You want to go kiting?
I think the crews up here did a great job. They went around looking for trouble.
The problem of being Mafsik where Moshe Rabbeinu wasn’t, is by Krias Hatorah. Otherwise, as ItcheSrulik pointed out, you’ll barely find a whole Passuk quoted in Sefarim.
ItcheSrulik, the Issur is to sing it, not to write it. The Peshuto Shel Mikra of Shir Hashirim is not a reference to your wife, it is only meant to be understood as the relationship between Hashem and Knesses Yisroel. Singing it for your own purpose is the Issur.
I think you are implying that singing Chasdei Hashem Ki Lo Samnu with a bad tune or a bad place would be the problem. Why do you think it mentions Shir Hashirim if not for the fact that there is a reason people use it for a song?
Near Woodridge I saw two trees leaning on wires.
“Failed to die”? That’s one failing I hope we all have.
Tweet, yeah, it’s definitely a dangerous time to go overboard.
Perhaps she evacuated.
You don’t want me to sing to you the words that go with na na na na, do you?
Luckily enough we have butterflies on the other side of the globe to counter act it.
Popa, what about your second, that explains the first?
It is possible to get a foreign IP. I haven’t looked into it that much, but I have heard that there is a proxy service that does that.
On a more sober note, there is a very usefull purpose of discussing Halacha and advice. You won’t ticke anyone’s word, but you can hear a good argument that will convince you.
Itche, I’m not sure if you mean to argue with me or not. What do you mean by removing the holyness? If he is using the Passuk as his own statement, that is the problem I mentioned. If he is singing the Passuk as a Passuk, the matching of the tune shouldn’t be the cause of the Issur. The problem is using the Torah as your instrument. The example from Shir Hashirim is not for naught. Im Lavan Garti might be a funny choice of Passuk to sing, but you aren’t singing it to your fiance, or even to your landlord. You are singing the Passuk about what Yaakov said to Esav.
