2scents: Any more prevalent than a vaccinated individual who became infected and isn’t doing well?
P.P.P.S. The Biden Administration politicized the vaccination program by pushing it stronger than acceptable. By forcing recovered Covid patients and forcing children (!!!) to get the vaccine.
Even 12 year olds aren’t young enough for Biden. He’s pressuring the FDA to approve the vaccine for little kids, whose risk is minimal. (And the vaccine itself contains risks, especially for kids.)
P.S. I believe most people should get the vaccine. Since most people aren’t young and healthy or recovered from Covid.
P.P.S. It is extremely rare for a recovered Covid patient to get a severe case of Covid. Having recovered from Covid is for all practical purposes virtually at least as good as having been vaccinated.
“Not uncommon to get it again”
It’s not uncommon for vaccinated people to get Covid.
“vaccines have been proven to further reduce illness in recovered Covid patients.”
Booster shots have also been proven to further reduce illness in the vaccinated. Yet very few people got booster shots.
Mazal Tov on your upsherin.
“death is a common side effect, as well as serious mental and physical issues in some”
Actually, it is very uncommon in unvaccinated young healthy people. It is also very uncommon in unvaccinated people who previously recovered from COVID-19.
The parallel question necessary when asking the titled question is what are the risks of taking the vaccine.
The honest answer is that all the the risks aren’t yet known.
Avi, the measly amounts the Israeli government gives is far far less than what they steal… er, collect in taxes from the frum community.
And uch un vey for anyone to take a philandering drunkard like MLK as their role model.
And your differentiation regarding breaking the (based on what “one considers” the law) has no basis in the halacha of dina dmalchusa. It is at best a boich svara and at worst much worse.
The entire kehila needs to make a taanis if chas v’shalom such a thing happens. Anyone who was present at the time who physically cannot fast, should give a notable amount of Tzedaka instead.
I’ve seen the guy or bochor doing hagbah hit the ceiling (and leave a dent in it) or chandelier. But that’s about it.
Newer cars costs around $60 per oil change in NYC. And that’s for the standard oil.
Mr. Weiss is no more relevant than any other Reform/OO/Conservative clergyman.
L’havdil, President Bush would stand when speaking to his father, President Bush Sr.
Avira, how are people in America today any more in danger than the Yidden were for the last 2500 years in Europe or in Bovel?
Au contraire.
What you’re suggesting is a get out of jail free card for anyone, anywhere, that can always completely abrogate the Halacha.
Reb Eliezer, if the weather isn’t cold then bochorim (as well as married men who aren’t allowed to be with their wife) have no excuse, lchol hadeios, to not sleep in the Succah.
Mods, any idea why this thread isn’t showing up on the recent threads list, on the main page of the coffee room?
let me work on it…
Meir: Dina Dmalchusa only applies to monetary obligations to the State/government. Not to other individuals. The latter follow Choshen Mishpat, as you said.
The Ran in Nedarim paskens that dina dmalchusa is completely not applicable in Eretz Yisroel. For the very reason Avira mentioned. Since dina dmalchusa is only applicable in the first place since we need to repay the local king for his allowing us to live in his country, so we must pay his taxes, etc (dina dmalchusa). But every Jew has an automatic Torah right to live in Eretz Yisroel. It isn’t dependent on the local monarch’s permission or graciousness. Therefore, dina dmalchusa does not apply in Eretz Yisroel.
No one has still addressed the real outright halachic issue that the lace is parted and the lace is not lined, therefore you can see the woman’s real hair beneath the lace wig. Therefore, this wig doesn’t fully cover the hair.
How’s a lace wig different than going in public with uncovered hair?
Is there any limud zchus for non-married guys who r’l don’t sleep in the Succah?
Regarding married men, the discussion above got zapped. What’s the basis for the limud zchus and when is it applicable? What excuse is there for those it isn’t applicable for?
aIY: I don’t have the mekor offhand, but the OP is correct that dina dmalchusa is generally only applicable in issues regarding monetary obligations issued by the government.
Halacha ALWAYS takes precedence over secular law (dina dmalchusa), when in conflict.
A course in self home improvement is needed first. Then a course in consumer electronics repair is needed. Only after that should a car repair course be done.
Moshe: You don’t see an issue with a guy walking down Kings Highway in his bathing suit and a towel?
The lace is parted and the lace is not lined, therefore you can see the woman’s real hair beneath the lace sheitel.
Hence, this sheitel doesn’t fully cover her hair. Lace wigs aren’t different than walking in the street bareheaded.
Men or women?

Yaakov: Can you tell the difference between someone wearing a sheitel versus someone bareheaded?
Yabia: Why do you follow the Christian calendar? We Jews are in year 5781. You are far far behind.
Tznius has gone out the window in many places.
Lostspark: Why don’t you simply tell them “no”? Or tell them you’ll need to charge them a fee.
CS, we’re obligated to worry about yenem. Both materially AND spiritually.
Lostspark: Do you say the same about people who informally ask for help from a doctor, lawyer or computer expert they daven with, live near or are friends or family with?
GHD, don’t be such a fein-schmecker and simply buy an older car.
Loatspark, I can easily testify that doctors very frequently get asked for medical advice and assistance during off hours.
And they help. Without charge.
My lawyer friends tell me they, too, get asked for legal advice after davening. And they don’t bill the mispallel or neighbor or friend or family member.
My mechanic does all this already.

CS: Please stop referencing your Rebbishe ancestors in an attempt to kasher your modernized hashkafos that have no bearing on how your holy ancestors conducted themselves. You aren’t the first whose Yeridos Hadoros was blatantly obvious.
The real question is, in Europe did frum Yidden ever go around bareheaded?
What happened in America when there were few frum Yidden, and what did exist was always shvach, is no example.
You can thank, surprisingly, the Satmar Rebbe for this generational change. When he came to America virtually no one walked the streets in highly distinctive Jewish garb. Yet he dressed publicly in America no different than he did in Europe. I’m full Chasidishe regalia from bekishe to shtreimal. In the early years many people were afraid to walk near him in the street. Others were simply embarrassed to see this old country Jew walking around like it was 100 years back. Yet today the streets of America are full of people who look like how he dressed in public when it was unheard of.
