“Your obsession with Gun control didn’t let you begin to understand my point!
We don’t need to be like Europe with their liberalism to the Nth degree!”got it!
Just to be sure I understood you correctly, youre saying We have to accept that mass shootings are just a way of life in the US, (“is-there-any-way-to-prevent-mass-shootings…And the answer …is NO!”) and are worth it to avoid being “like Europe with their liberalism”I’m sorry NOYB I dont follow.
I have some grenades. These are my personal weapons that I keep in my pockets. I enjoy lobbing them at deer. I also need them in case the evil IRS comes to collect my hard earned money.
Do I have a constitutional right o own these personal weapons for sport and to protect myself from a tyrannical government?
Helath
“And the answer to both is NO!”
You are wrong my friend. You fell for an Onion headline “No way to stop this says only country this happens in”
Mass shootings are not a part of life in other countries as they are here. There has to be a way to be more like them in this regard“But you could prevent school violence. All you need is one armed security guard & a metal detector.”
Oops wrong again. The school in question had an armed security card, as you may know it dint stop the attackNOYB
So do I have a constitutional right to bear grenades? Tanks ? Cruise missiles? and nuclear warheads?mentch 1
“They occupy roughly the same time frame. So is it possible to say that with throwing gili arayis out the window we have also thrown out shficas damim?”not really, because other countries with similar (and worse) gilui arayos do not have the shooting rates we do.
Curiosity
“Then there is a machlokes in daas Torah since ALL the LORs I have consulted support gun ownership as proper hishtadlus.”Do they oppose said gun ownershp being “well regulated” ?
“f you sincerely care to listen to the opposing point of view go listen to conservative thinkers like Ben Shapiro.”
I have.“My point was you can debate this issue from a religious perspective and from a democratic perspective, but you shouldn’t conflate the two arguments.”
Was that addressed to me? You were the one who brought up the religious perspective and it doesnt make any sense as I pointed out since it can easil be used either way (though perhaps easier used to support gun control.) Keep religion out of it particularly as you say “Then there is a machlokes in daas Torah” Though I am quite skeptical that there is any “daas torah” that supports selling guns to those with a history of domestic violence and for that matter I am skeptical there are many LOR’s with guns.

Avi
My understanding is that in Israel, you need a license to purchase gun, pass background checks undergo regular psychological exams, guns must be registered and you cant just stockpile weapons. IS that not the case??
Curiosity
“If you don’t believe people die at the exact moment they were supposed to, regardless of whether a gun was the cause, then nothing anyone says will help you”Please dont change the subject. You are using this argument to oppose gun control. I am asking why not use the same argument to oppose gun ownership?
“Also, Americans can argue that the Jewish traditions and way of life (shchita, milah, etc) is stupid and dangerous”
Right. and if we were to reply. “Well thats the way we do things” we’d be wrong. So prepare a better argument, than well thats how it is, incase that discussion comes up.
“both in terms of safety and with respect to the idea of an armed society keeping its government from straying towards tyranny”
Please explain to me how that works. I dont like paying taxes do you support my right to use my guns to defend my property from the tyranical IRS. Who decides whent eh givt is tyranical? one person a neighborhood what about a state? Which armed uprising in over 230 years of US history do you support Whiskey rebellio? the confederacy? Branch davidians? where any of these groups right in fighting a tyranical (in their view) govt?“Therefore a logical premise is that those who are suicidal enough to kill themselves would just as easily intentionally overdose ”
While logical, that isnt the case.
“and if there would be no guns, there would be no option for suicide for these people.”
Nobody said that“Hishtadlus towards your self protection by carrying a defensive weapon is VERY different”
How ?” If you don’t believe me go ask your LOR (Emphasis on the “O”.) If you don’t want to ask your LOR, you are also being disingenuous.”
Although I wasnt unsure, out of curiosity (hi!) I asked him anyway. He said no thinking person could reach the conclusion you did, and that you are trolling. (Is he right?)
” I would require background checks, psych eval, and mandatory training in the use of a firearm.”
Great then you are on the right side. The NRA though opposes your ” common sense gun control. ”
you say “And surprisingly,” why is that surprising? Isnt it far more surprisign to favor arming people with histroy of deomestic violence, psychatric disorders etc.?Curioisty
“Arguing about gun legislation is a moot point when you consider the deaths in this country by vehicular accidents and medical malpractice far FAR exceed the number of deaths by firearms”And those arent ignored. As yo umay know cars come with airbags, seatbelts.There are speedlimits among other regulations In the medical field we constantly have M&M’s trying to detrmine what went wrogn how to improve. We dont say “thats just the way it is. We work to try to make it safer.
And even if they were ignored. I dont understand the logic of well people die from car accidents so who cares abotu guns. A few people made this point I just dont get it.” even if you consider suicide by firearm which is the largest chunk in the pie of gun related deaths. ”
why on Earth wouldnt those be considered?
“All you do by arguing for gun control is further harp on a highly divisive issue of culture and tradition for Americans and further divide the country. ”
If a tradition is stupid and dangerous we should get rid of it. If its not dnagerous then go for it. but arguing well thats the way it is, isnt logical.
“You can save MANY more innocent lives by enacting safety regulations for transportation and medicine”
Are you serious?
We do
can anybody just buy a car? Can anybody just practice medicine?
waht are yo utalking baout?“. Beating the gun control issue is appealing to the average American who views mass homicide without the lens of hashgacha, ”
you have that backwards. The Torah forbids having a dangerous item in your home. I’m not saying thsi applies to guns per se. But this idea of whatever happens happens is antithical ot Torah.
“Banning guns. Won’t save people. ”
so neither will owning guns. right?
“In terms of hishtadlus, focusing on the more prolific killers such as vehicular accidents, mental health, and medical malpractice is more significant.”
We do. constantly.BTW yungerman
“Why not restrict cars from being capable of travelling more than 25mph everywhere at all times?”Cars are heavily regulated
If we treated guns the way we treat cars that would be fantastic.
– You need a license to own/operate one. Need to renew license every so often
– All guns must be registrerd and Re-registered every few years
– safety inspection they need to be equiped with safety features (safety lock?)
– maybe we can start requiring mandatory gun insurance
– If physician thinks you are unsafe s/he can report to DMV and possibly have license revokedThese are just some of the requirments for car ownership
you were the one who compared guns to cars so tell me do you support the above measures for gun ownership?
“Whether we like it or not, the second amendment exists, and states the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. Infringing on the rights of 300 million people is not something to be taken lightly, yes, even to save lives as harsh as that may sound.”
that isnt just harsh that is crazy. and incorrect.
IF you think the benefits of gun ownership outweigh the downsides fine. but this idea that 230 years ago people thought it was a good idea so no matter the consequences we are stuck with it. IS absurd, and false. There is an amendment process, if it is a bad amendment we can get rid of it.
(that is of course aside from the fact that it is debatable whether the amendment protects the right of 300 million people to bear arms. the supreme court recently ruled that way but for most of its histroy it was not understod that way. This is a side issue though since even if it WAS meant that way argiung that “like it or not” we are stuck with it is crazy and incorrect)
NOYP
You highlight the problem with the “Gun culture”
you say making soem guns illegal would lead to ” civil war” and “VERY easily turn into a revolution”Dont you see how crazy that is?
I get that you dont agree with the policy, so vote for legislators who favor whatever it is yo u favor. You cant claim gun enthusiasts are “very nice people” but if our democraticly elected government feels it is in our collective best intrest to give up these instruments of death, wel l then we wil start shooting . That is a death cult.You want more people to have guns, fine keep fnding the NRA until every last school is a warzone, that is your right. But thretneing violence while claiming to be “nice guys” doent make much sense.

“The right reaction is to determine the root cause of why these attacks are perpetuated, not to ban every possible means of attack.”so after 9/11 i assume you opposed locking airplane cockpits since that wouldnt have stopped Oklahoma city bombimg. Am I understanding you correctly?
To answer the OP’s question
See the Onion’s excellent piece “‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens”
dated 2/15/18 (florida), 11/5/17, 10/2/17, 12/3/15, 10/1/15, 6/17/15
The story remians the same. We act shocked, offer thoughts and prayers, and accept it as some sort of 2nd amendement suicide pact.
Hey at least we lead the world in both private gun ownership . I wonder if that can be related?
All together now USA USA USA!!!
“does the clone get it’s own Neshama?“
Why not?
“Did you give birth to the clone (regarding Kibud Av V’eim)?”Who is “you” in that sentence the DNA which is copied or the womb that carries it?
if you didn’t how is it related to you?”
Same as above“if it’s still considered you and it married someone are you married to that person?”
This doesn’t make much sense. Why would a clone be “considered you”?Gilda that’s not it. Other countries have the same TV shows etc and do not have this plague
“Does Reb Dovid permit use of a timer on Shabbos for an air conditioner, even though he’s father forbade it?”
No.
“Why does “the velt” that generally follows Reb Moshe’s psakim disregard Reb Moshe when it comes to air conditioners on a Shabbos clock?”
Halacha is largely determined by consensus. the “velt” was never mekabel this pesak. As DY points out I don’t think many people follow alll of R’ Moshe’s Pesakim. I was at a wedding that R’ Bluth attended, at which he left early. My father jokingly asked him if he made sheva berachos at his table which R’ Moshe holds is a chiyuv on individuals at a wedding. I dont remeber his reply but he didnt
Who says it isnt a mitzva?
The chinuch says it is applicable if “Rov yisroel sheruyin al admasan”
Assuming this means 51% based on wikipedia we arent quite there yet.
They record world Jewish population as 14.2 million and in ISrael 6.4 million
(of course these arent halachic numbers)APY
“He also says his brachos, and recites birchas hamazon.”and as I said so does a zekan mamre.
Did you think I meant the ONLY requirement d be defined as “erlich” is to wash and bench?
In fact, I explicitly stated the opposite “… follows what shulchan aruch …”
A Ben soreh umoreh steals, doesnt listne to his parents, thus he is not “erlich” because he doesnt follow Shulchan aruch, although he may wash and bench, he isnt erlichA foodie has almost nothing to do with ben soreh umoreh. Certinly not “everything”
Also you dindnt answer my question here it is again ” Im curious to hear how many foodies have killed as a result of their hobby?”APY
“Everything”Ok, I’ll bite.
A ben Soreh umoreh is punished for ” אֲכִילָה הַמְּבִיאָה לִידֵי שְׁפִיכוּת דָּמִים” Rambam Mamrim 7:1
Im curious to hear how many foodies have killed as a result of their hobby?Joseph
“Ubiq, the manner of the consumption of food is an integral part of the problem with a ben sorer umorer.”Yes, though ben sorer umorer isnt like chukos akum, it isnt whatever you want it to be. you can reform some mitzvos, not all of them.
Here is how the Rmabam defines the achila of ben sorer umoreh
Mamrim 7:1
אֲכִילָה זוֹ שֶׁהוּא חַיָּב עָלֶיהָ דְּבָרִים הַרְבֵּה יֵשׁ בָּהֶם וְהֵן כֻּלָּן הֲלָכָה מִפִּי הַקַּבָּלָה. אֵינוֹ חַיָּב סְקִילָה עַד שֶׁיִּגְנֹב מִשֶּׁל אָבִיו וְיִקְנֶה בָּשָׂר בְּזוֹל וְיַיִן בְּזוֹל. וְיֹאכַל וְיִשְׁתֶּה חוּץ מֵרְשׁוּת אָבִיו בַּחֲבוּרָה שֶׁכֻּלָּן רֵיקָנִין וּפְחוּתִין. וְיֹאכַל הַבָּשָׂר חַי וְאֵינוֹ חַי מְבֻשָּׁל וְאֵינוֹ מְבֻשָּׁל כְּדֶרֶךְ שֶׁהַגַּנָּבִים אוֹכְלִים. וְיִשְׁתֶּה הַיַּיִן מָזוּג כְּדֶרֶךְ שֶׁהַגַּרְגְּרָנִים …שׁוֹתִים. וְהוּא שֶׁיֹּאכַל מִשְׁקַל חֲמִשִּׁים דִּינָרִין מִבָּשָׂר זֶה בִּמְלוּגְמָא אַחַת וְיִשְׁתֶּה חֲצִי לוֹג מִיַּיִן זֶה בְּבַת אַחַת.In English if you prefer
This eating for which he is liable is restricted by many limitations that are derived from traditional law: He does not deserve stoning unless he steals from his father and buys meat and wine cheaply [in order to have large quantities] ; or if he eats and drinks outside his father’s premises in company of entirely ignorant and worthless men; eats the meat partially raw and partially cooked, the way thieves eat ; drinks the wine partially diluted, the way gobblers drink…and here is how the OP defined foodie
“A foodie is a person who has an ardent or refined interest in food and alcoholic beverages.[1] A foodie seeks new food experiences as a hobby rather than simply eating out of convenience or hunger.””Are you making a gezeira shava food – food otherwise what is the connection?
“A ben sorer umorer also ate kosher food, made brachos and benched.”
Mazel tov.
So did a zekan mamre what does that have to do with anythingAPY
“they must then tell us how they define BOTH terms otherwise their response is meaningless”
Again, One term was defined in the OP
And the other wasnt defined by the OP, but other posters (my self included) did define it . “An erliche yid follows what shulchan aruch says.as long as he washes makes berachos and benches the foodie is erlich.”Aagain you are free to disagree with either of those definitions., but both terms have been defined.
No
Yudel
“For example all of the magazines, newspapers print recipes with questionable ingredients and or ingredients that require proper bedikas for infestation,”
You think thats bad?! My supermarket lets people shop and then cook at home without a mashgiach. what if people mix basar vechalav? what if they cook on Shabbos. ITs time we demand a mashgiach accompanying every consumer, we cant trust these unqaulified people.I know of a blog that bills itself as “the rest of the story” that just posts have verified lashon harah mxed in with motzei shem ra. The proprietor of that blog is “unqualified and untrained” to deccide fact from fiction, let alone mutar speeech from assur. Does it have a mashgiach?
To answer the OP’s quetion
no.
“Is a Jewish magazine without a rabbi like a restaurant without a Mashgiach”
Yes both arent automatically assur. Both depend on the content produced. Now with restaurant you may not know what ingredients are being used so you may want a mashgiach to look out for you. But with a magazine you do know.“we don’t need rabbis to tell us what kosher reading is?”
A mashgiach n a restaurant doesnt tell you what kosher eating is. the shulchan aruch does. All the mashgiach tells you i if the food produced follows the rules laid out. If you have anoher way of ascertaining it, say the restaurant is owned by person you trust, or the ingredient are all innocuous like bread from a goyish bakery centuries ago, or some products (beer, bourbon ) today then you dont need a mashgiach.If you are not sure “what kosher reading is” then by all means bring a magazine to a mashgiach and have him inspect it.

“So sorry but you are incorrect. Hamodea has Rabbinic advisory and it seems yated has as well.”

“Joseph is 100% correct.”I dont expect Joseph to answer, so same question to you:
Source please?
“Note that most of the Holocaust victims were frum Yidden”
source please?
I’m not sure why there is so much confusion. “Define ehrlicher yid. Then, define foodie. ”
The OP defined foodie here iti is again “A foodie is a person who has an ardent or refined interest in food and alcoholic beverages.[1] A foodie seeks new food experiences as a hobby rather than simply eating out of convenience or hunger.”
There is no need to keep asking for definitions of “foodie” or to provide other definitions like “making such enjoyment a priority to the extent that it defines the person and his purpose in life.”
Now Erliche is nt defined, so perhaps there can be some confusion there. ( Though a few posters have defined it and it clearly isnt the same as a baal madreiga) but its confusing that people are still having trouble defining foodie. If you dont like the OP’s definition then by all means explain why.
Gaon
” I don’t think anyone is judging”erlichkeit” here”
What? That’s the literal title of the thread?“People are entitled to their opinions – as a general – if its appropriate or not. That does not negate ones personal judgement of any individual”
Agreed.
But the op provided a definition. A bunch of posters are using a different definition. That’s confusingGaon
“The OP just quoted a Wiki definition , but basically the issue was if one can declare himself a Ba’al Tavah”Exactly. The opposite asked about a “foodie” provided a definition, in case there would be confusion.
But a bunch of posters chose to redefine it with another definition. “making such enjoyment a priority to the extent that it defines the person and his purpose in life.”Which of course is fine, just be clear you are discussing a new definition of “foodie” that most of us aren’t familiar with.
I have met several people who call themselves foodies none of them define it as “their purpose in life” it is a honey like writing or stamp collecting. You maintain it’s worse than those fine. But they are without question erlich, perhaps not the biggest baalei madreiga like we are
Then
ĹWtp
” the question was about making such enjoyment a priority to the extent that it defines the person and his purpose in life”No it wasn’t. True that’s how some reinterpreted the question. As most realize the way the questuin was asked was a bit silly. But that is not what was asked.
Here it is again: “Food is not eaten for sustenance or wellbeing, it is just for the pursuit of pleasure alone.
Can an Ehrlicher Yid be a Foodie?”Scroll up for the full question
“Are you trying to say it is ok to eat a mule?”
No but it is ok to eat a Kvi which some say is a cross between a goat and gazelle.
This halacha is codified in Rambam MAchalos issuros 1:13“כִּלְאַיִם הַבָּא מִבְּהֵמָה טְהוֹרָה עִם חַיָּה טְהוֹרָה הוּא הַנִּקְרָא כְּוִי. חֶלְבּוֹ אָסוּר וְאֵין לוֹקִין עָלָיו וּמְכַסִּין אֶת דָּמוֹ. וְאֵין מִין טָמֵא מִתְעַבֵּר מִמִּין טָהוֹר כְּלָל:”
“This does not make sense.”
I dont make the rules
Josh
you ask
“Are you trying to say it is ok to eat a mule?”No because it doesnt have split hooves and chew its cud
It is however ok to eat a nectarine, grapefruit etc.
(And again GMO’s are likely not even Kilayim)“my question is why they are being considered Kosher when
It says in the Torah that mixing unlike creatures is one of the primary abominations that brought on the flood of Noah?”If that is your only question, it is an easy one to answer. While it is assur for a Jew to graft species it isnt for a non-Jew and the result is Kosher. Thus even IF GMO’s where Kilaim (which they likely aren’t) it till doesnt make the product assur
“this is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord.”
Try not to decide what He finds an abomination. LEt HIm tell us. He gave us the Torah and eating Kilayim done by others is allowed as abominable as you may find it.“Food isn’t a hobby. Hashem created food for us to eat.”
Neither is writing, Hashem created writing for us to communicate ideas.
Can an erliche yid be a writer ?you ask “What if someone told you that he/she “seeks new experiences” and is obsessed over…”
I dont really folow. If someone is “obsessed over.” somethign h needs a therapist not for the expperience but for the obsession.
Again, Im not saying there is no such thing as taking things too far. There is an idea of not being a naval bershus haTorah. But this doesnt mean that anybody who enjoys food even “as a hobby” isnt erlichshopping613
Just So i have this straight. Saying “I enjoy collecting stamps” is ok but saying “I’m a philatelist” is not?
“However I wouldn’t call eating food just for the taste of it ehrliche behaviour. Can we agree on that?”
I dont know what that means.
See Non-political’s excellent examplesAdditionally
When Hashem promised E”Y, it is reffered to as “Zavas chalav u’dvash” Obviously this can have a metaphorical meaning too. ein mikra Yotze midei peshuto. I doubt this was geared only towards the non-erliche yidden. Sure there is a level to not be excited by food. As is said regarding Moshe Rabbeinu who obviosuly didint long for E”Y because the food. HE longed for the mitzvos he can do there. Obviosuly some Coffee room posters are on that level, and obviously there is such an idea. but to say enjoying food and even eating not solely to serve Hashem is automatically not-Ehrlich is silly.
In this weeks PArsha we read of the Mahn, chazal tell us the Mahn tasted like anything. Was this too just geared towards non-erliche yidden?My favorite comment is this one
“if you go out to all these restaurant a lot (not just once a week) then you should not fool/corrupt yourself into thinking you are just going to eat to have strength but know the truth yourself that you are going to enjoy that specific restaurants pleasure food”
As if going once a week to a restaurant (!!!) THAT is “so that he/she can have strength to serve Hashem,” only more than that is a problem
By that benchmark. I am a big baal madreiga and very erlich indeedOf course.
You answer your own question by mentioning “baalei mussar”
An erliche yid follows what shulchan aruch says.as long as he washes makes berachos and benches the foodie is erluch.
Does a person who doesn’t look with ayin tov at his fellow yidden erlich?
What about us spending time hocking about nonsense online relish? Baalei mussar might not be impressed but dont worry
You can still be erlich“Define blatant, please”
gladly
“completely obvious, conspicuous”
From Webster’s“When is a selected meimar not blatant? …”
when I have to search more than a few seconds to find an opposing maamar. IF it takes a second to come up with a few pessukim that lead to the obvious opposite conclusion then you are being blatantly (adjective from of blatant see definition above) dishonest
Unless of course you meant it as a joke. In which case: Ha!“I don’t believe you.”
MehApolagies,
Blatantly is a adverb, not an adjective“Why are you defending the donkey all of a sudden?”
Because I dont like blatantly selecting mamarei chazal to fit your narrative. I ‘m not saying it is always wrong, but when it is so blatant, I find it demeaning of the person doing it, the audience and of chazal.
thanks for the source
“I haven’t heard anything negative about the ELEPHANT. Have you?”
Right and as The passuk describes Moshiach “Ani verochev al hapil”
and of course Yissochar symbolizing Lomdei torah is reffered to as “Yissochar pil goremrovetz bein hamishpatayim”
Though nothing positive is ever said about the donkey.
whats the source that the Golden calf was half donkey btw?
you left out some other quotes
“When the president signed a proclamation in December recognizing Jerusalem as the capital, he quietly signed another document waiving a congressional demand that the United States move the embassy to Jerusalem within six months.”
We will see
“They decided to build a new building that is secure and large enough for an American embassy rather than just change the name plates on the small consulate.”
cmon, why not do both
Does Sabra’s schug still exist?
I have been looking for it for a while. There are other brands available but I havent seen sabra’sJoseph
you arent being completely truthful.
From the beginning he said he would move it on “day one”
he is now delaying it at least a few years.
the move doesnt have to take long. All they have to do is cross of the word consulate off the building and write in the word embassy. If they need a new buidling they can move the embassy from Agron road when the new building is readyHaimy I’m confused as to what your point is.
You conclude ” once someone has integrated into the secular world it is rare for them to return.”
Isnt that an argument to do whatever we can NOT to have them integrate into the world? and rather to keep them at home , even if it appears that we “condone all forms of issurim within our camp.
you somehow seem to have reached the opposite conclusion
“Seems like Bnei Lita, should be leaving on their teffilin.”
Except that you quote the opposite
“אך המתפלל בצבור בודאי לא ישנה מנהגא דצבורא:”CS
“no I get it.”
you dont. You are saying “What I’m saying is that Hashem isn’t limited to…”
Yes I agree. And I pointed out this is what is throwing you off. Hashem is not limited. Our language is. “winning chess in one move” doesnt describe anything it has as much meaning as “colorless green ideas to sleep furiously”
My last try
“Can Hashem century mountain election restless weight?” ( I used a computer random word generator for thesewords)I admitted I dont understand the Aron (I doubt you do either)though I do have an out. Namely that it wasnt within the rules of physics.
I grant “outside the rules of chess” He can win in one move, and outside the definition of words He can “cause colorless green ideas to sleep furiously”
Within the rules of chess, No Hashem cannot win in one move.“So I guess we can agree that a non sensical question is not a question”
Exactly, so the “answer” cant be “yes”Also, now this may blow your socks off so buckle up,
I’m fairly certain that before announcing the new couple Yitzchok and Rivka they didn’t play the final countdown.
They may have played baker street, but not more modern songs“Do very Chasidish newlyweds walk in side-by-side into the hall?”
The “Very chasidish” IVe been too did not. but the majority which Id categorize as “regular chasidish” did.
(these were from Boro park and few from Williamsburg. New Square, Kiryos Yoel may be different)Of course it came from Goyim
90% of our daily activities came from Goyim. Goyim slept, ate and wore clothing before we came along.
The question is does that make it assur.

“In fact, we don’t ‘Pasken‘ like any of Shlomo Hamelech’s trick Psakim. ”
A melech doesnt have to decide a case based on accepted klalei hapesak.
Similarly when Dovid was asked what he would do with someone who stole a poor mans only sheep, his reply was not. Easy he has to pay back 4 times.(I dont have a source of this off hand, but Rabbi Reisman often mentions it when discussing why we refer to Hashem as “melech” so much yomim noraim time, he explains its becasue a melech can take extraneous things (like motherly love or the fact that it was the only sheep) while a ordinary judge can not, we are asking Hashem to have rachmanus on us that we may not deserve if strictly judged al pi din))
