    I just don’t get why YWN isn’t talking about this drama and the issues involved. I haven’t seen a single (non-sponsored) article on the WZO elections

    If Bloomberg is gone by 2024 who will take down the hard-core anti-Semitic radical Democrats?

    It’s pashut that with antisemitism rising we’ll all end up in EY soon (as Moshiach approaches) and the primary focus should be on which candidate is good for EY (Trump or Bloomberg). I think Bloomberg will win, causing a rise in white supremacy antisemitism forcing us to leave the US as part of Hashem’s larger plan. (Of course this is just guesswork, due to lack of niviim and ruach hakodesh)

    I left a message on Halachah Headlines asking R’ Dovid to interview some of the people running to publicize it. If other people call in, he’ll take it more seriously.

    Some Jews are cheap/smart so instead of renting they buy and return for free. Companies may know this and disallow it in Jewish areas

    you probably don’t have in mind to be koneh it anyways so you aren’t doing anything wrong now. I don’t think zochin liodom shelo bifanav or kinyan chazter would work with chametz on pesach if you have no intention of taking it. You can just save it until after pesach and make a kinyan then. However, your guest is probably jewish since you can’t invite a non-jew on yom tov so it is chametz sheovar alav hapesach and will be assur to you afterwards anyways. Also, you may have a responsibility to stop the other jew from owning chametz, but maybe the act of giving it away qualifies as a bittul. can you think of an excuse to refuse the gift? Maybe someone is the family is gluten-free or allergic to something in the chametz.

    Mimanifshach if you are trying to take only the fly that is psoless meochel and if you want liquid too then that is bkli.

    On second thought, if you are taking some of the liquid with it then it is ochel mitoch ochel, soup from soup which isn’t even considered separating and is muttar irregardless of the method performed. But since that liquid itself may now be disgusting and discarded that liquid itself should be considered psoless.

    He is also compared to Chatzir Yavesh (dead grass) so he is kosher as schach. This way he can at least lie on top of the sukkah for the women inside to get schar. (Pottery though is passel schach so I think he must lie there until Eliyahu comes to resolve whether he is kosher or not.)

    I davened long and someone came to me after and rebuked me loudly about the fact that Hashem is above nature and doesn’t need us to talk slowly for him to understand just like he was able to say all the aseress hadibros at once. I think he is a bit crazy.

    Isn’t it obvious that PBA was just trolling (or joking) when he started this thread? Every half-brained person knows that middos are critical, if not the most critical factor. The moshol of the car makes it even more ridiculous. (From my experience I think that PBA has at least half a brain)

    I once bought the cheapest (but nice) flowers in the store for my host. After shabbos the baal habayis said to me, “Those were beautiful flowers. How did you know which ones to choose? Those are the ones I buy for my wife every shabbos!”

    Why don’t the animal rights activists care about insects? Is this proof of misplaced priorities?

    Mosquito repellant should be banned. Donating blood saves one life but witholding use of insect spray enables the birth of hundreds of living creatures.

    One about paradoxes.

    This statement is false

    Shchitah is a milochoh

    Shchitah of a michalel shabbos is treif

    A milochoh must be a constructive act.

    Joseph: I think that the logic is that the mitzvah of maztah and the requirement to koveah seudah on it instead of chametz gives it a higher status as bread and therefore befitting a hamotzi.

    The creation of minhagim is based on logic, it’s only the abolishment of a minhag which cannot be done using logic since once a minhag is established it becomes part of halachah (depending on the level and widespread acceptance of the minhag) like a takanas chazal and must be followed irregardless of whether the reason still applies.

    Since no other thread is mentioned the implication is itself especially since the word “The” is used which means something specifically identified. However, the title might be referring to all titles of threads as a general rule.

    I think that I have just finally uncovered the depth of this complex thread and resolved its mysterious paradoxical nature.

    Unless you say that since the title is describing the title it obviously isn’t the title. If so, the thread has no title. Since titles are usually the subject of the thread, no title=no subject. But since there is no title then the title isn’t describing anything ergo it must be the title itself. So the thread does have a subject… etc. vichulei ad infinitum.

    All the mods have to do bidikah at the right time so no one can stay to check posts. Unless one of them goes on vacation to Eretz Yisroel for pesach and doesn’t mind working until 3 AM the night before the seder.

    (Going to LA for example would solve this issue though)
