mentach1: Do the Jews who owns it fully keep Shabbos and Kashrus or are they Mechallel Shabbos and treif eaters?
It isn’t worth giving up even 60 seconds of Limud HaTorah for this purpose, even for a “moment of silence”.
Which is why I earlier says a safek mamzer cannot marry anyone. Unlike a mamzer, who can marry certain people.
All-h simply has the same meaning as G-d.
When the shochtim in Eretz Yisroel shechted meat for the Arabs, they’d make a Brocha using the name All-h.
Hashem has 72 names.
As far a referring to Him, as you cannot call Him by his name outside of Tefila, there’s
Hashem
Aibeshter
Ribono Shel Olam
Bashefer
Hakodesh Boruch Hu
Tatte
Guttand a number of others.
Please define who is, and what makes one, a “Litvak”?
There aren’t too many around.
Yseribus: I’m against the NRA as anyone. But how are they antisemitic?
Wolf: Your clarification is still pending.
Syag, the 18 year old Texan who shot the school last week had zero known mental health issues.
besalel: In this instance, walking around with a Yarmulka in Jerusalem doesn’t trigger the goyim to form anti-Jewish riots; parading around waving the zionist flag, does.
I was always more of a Talmid of Moore’s Law.
What was so shlecht about King Henry VIII?
Harryyid13: Excellent OP.
Thank You
Repeal the Second Amendment.
P.S. Excellent OP.
No. According to the age gap theory, almost all the men get married, but there are very many women who don’t.
Hadorah: You have police parked outside your shul three times a day, seven days a week?
While all politicians do this, it is a Democrat Party specialty.
“Secondary”.
Reb Eliezer, do you ever cross the street on red if the road is completely empty on both sides, perhaps at night time or any other time, or do you ever jaywalk by crossing in middle of the (empty) block rather than going (all the way) to the corner (on a long avenue) as the law demands?
Or are you truly the tzadik who is concerned about Dina Dmalchusa and would never walk across the street on red or cross in middle of the block?
Don’t parse a legal letter from Rabbi Zweibel Esq. like a Chazal.
Actually, doctors use a looser description of life at risk than poskim.
“And a different part of the answer is the failure to educate ourselves about how to reconcile the teachings of Torah with the teachings of science.”
No “reconciliation” is necessary. The Torah is eternal, as true today – in every sense and in every word – as it was 3,500 years ago. “Science” is overturned once newer science disproves older science. Just because science says something now that does not mean that tomorrow a newer science will disprove and overturn it.
Chelkas Mechokek (2:5.9): One who knows that there is a mamzer is not allowed to reveal this information – But it is stated in Shulchan Aruch (EH. 2:3) that two people had testified that a family has a mamzer or challel. How can they do this since they are violating the halacha of not revealing this information? However saying they shouldn’t testify also presents a difficulty since we pasken in this sif that if there is a doubt whether there is a mamzer in a particular family that someone who marries a member of that family needs to get divorced – so why isn’t it a mitzva to reveal this information because today or tomorrow witnesses will come and testify that there is a mamzer in the family and consequently the children of this family will be considered sofek mamzerim? A possible answer is that concerning the Ran on which the leniency of the Rema is based, he could be talking about a case where it is not clear that a member of the family is actually a mamzer – but merely that there is a rumor. Perhaps it is only such a case where the Ran is saying that there is no need to reveal this information except to modest people [who won’t spread the information]. However when two witness know for certain that a mamzer assimilated into this family it is very difficult to claim that they should not testify since the children of this family – once the information becomes public that there is a mamzer who is mixed into this famly –will henceforth be sofek mamzerim.
Edios (8:7): Rabbi Yehoshua said, I have received a tradition from Rabban Yochanon ben Zakkai who heard it from his rebbe and his rebbe heard it from his rebbe as a halacha l’Moshe m’Sinai (Tradition given from Sinai) that Eliyahu will not come to declare unclean or to pronounce clean, to put away or to bring near. But rather he will put away those brought near by force and to bring near that who have been put away by force. The family of Beis Zerephah was on the other side of the Jordan and Ben Tzion put it away by force. And there was already another family there and Ben Tziion brought it near by force. For such people Eliyahu will come to declare unclean or to pronounce clean, to put away or to bring near. Rabbi Yehuda disagreed and said Eliyahu will bring near but not put away. Rabbi Shimon said that will come to resolve disputes. The Sages disagreed and said that Eliyahu will neither come to put away nor to bring near but rather to make peace in the world. As is stated in Malachi (3), Behold I will send Eliyahu the Prophet to you… And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children and the heart of the children their fathers.
Shulchan Aruch (E.H. 2:5): If a family of Cohanim has a definite challel amongst them then every woman of that family is prohibited until she is checked and if she marries she must be divorced. The same applies if there is a family that a sofek mamer or definite mamzer.
Rema: However all of this applies only if it is definitely known to be true. However a family that has a person who is invalid for marriage – but it is not public knowledge- since he has been successfully mixed in then let him remained so. Someone who knows about this invalid person – is not allowed to reveal the information but the family members are to be left with their presumption of validity (chezkas kashrus). That is because all such families which have an unknown invalid person amongst them will be declared as fully kosher in the Messianic Era. Nevertheless is appropriate to reveal this information to those who can keep a secret (This is implied by the Ran). However this ignoring of the information is only when the invalid member is successfully mixed in and concealed from public knowledge. But as long as he is not mixed in then we reveal the invalid members and publicly announce it so that unblemished people will avoid marriage with them. See Choshen Mishpat 25 as to who is believed to testify about a families pedigree.
Do we force a Kohen to divorce his wife today if she was raped?
Green’s calling card isn’t antisemitism. The Democrat Party is the home of modern antisemitism.

Avira, I may be mistaken, but I think there’s some Litvish Hamon Hoam that wear a Kapote.
OP: Institutionalize him.
Mr. Potato Head, is that you?!
Aseh: Did you start building pillars, yet, to hold up the falling sky?
Lubavitch has beautiful niggunim.
GotAGoodPoint: If Halachicly there’s no basis to declare a child a mamzer, but a DNA test says that the child was fathered by the next door neighbor and not the husband, then Halachicly the child is still kosher.
Avira: I think a real sofek mamzer is assur to both a kosher yid, since he might be a mamzer, and to an actual mamzer, since he might be kosher. So, in a sense, a sofek mamzer is worse off than a known mamzer.
Avira: It’s different than wearing a bekeshe?
It’s the best Kugel. Everyone loves it.
TLIK: Since when does one need to be on any particular madreiga to wear a Kapote? Do you need to be on a certain madreiga to wear a Yarmulka, too, in your esteemed opinion?
Trump is doing excellent in the frequency his candidates are winning both the primaries and general elections. No one expected a 100% success rate but his not too far behind 100.
After you figure out this milichig chulent, I’d be interested in a recipe for a fleishig cheese blintza.
Aseh: No, you don’t have it right. It’s been unambiguously exposed that the climate scientists cooked the data, hid data that didn’t comport to their desired result of “proving” man-made Global Warming, so that they could “scientifically” report it is man-made despite the inconvenient facts that cropped up against what they were trying to prove.
Their email accounts, where they openly discussed all this among themselves who they trusted, was hacked and exposed. They had no choice but to admit the legitimacy of what they wrote.
Deae N0mrsorah: Thank you. Perhaps I can hire you to encapsulate my most potent comments into book form, for the benefit of mankind.
We’ve been hearing what the OP says since at least the 1960s. That’s 60+ years.
Aseh: Maybe there’s a sofek if the sky is falling and we should build pillars to hold the sky up. Just in case.
