yekke2 the answer to a)the difference is that you’re on it and now you took part in something. c)-I was wondering the same thing I asked several people, no one really knew. d)I was wondering the same thing. A rebbe of mine told me R’ Eliashiv Zt”l’s talmid R’ Dovid Morgenstern Shlita explained it to R’ Eliashiv, and that’s how R’ Eliashiv knew. My rebbe told me there’s a place in Yerushalyim that deals with these shailos called The Jerusalem Technological Institute. I tried googling it I couldn’t find it.
truthsharer, I did research on this. Sefer Ginzei Hakodesh brings down R’ Eliashiv Zt”l who said that Hashem’s name on a computer screen cannot be erased because it is an act of mechika and you are being mochek Hashem’s name. R’ Shmuel Wosner Shlita in shevet haleivi says it’s muttar min Hatorah, but because there’s a machlokes Rishonim whether Kesivas Shem Hashem Shelo Lishma can be erased, you should be machmir. R’ Moshe Shternbuch Shlita says that it’s muttar but if you want to be machmir, tavo alecha brocha. R’ Doniel Neustadt shlita says its completely muttar and it’s not considered writing.
This hits the famous shaila of ksiva on a digital screen. The camera is recording every movement and that would be a shaila of kosev because it’s stored in its considered as if it’s written down and it’s would be assur to do according to R’ Eliashiv Zt”l which Sam2 mentioned. (Interesting heter, Sam2 that makes sense.) Other poskim are maikel for several reasons.
Sorry that was a typo. I meant Gila Manolson
Shopping, I advise you and everyone else who thinks a burka should be worn to look at Gial Manolson’s book on Tznius, Outside Inside. Among other things, it explains why Jewish women don’t dress like muslims.
ikno, i understand the line. You’re basing it on the Gemara.
For meals, you can make chicken and rice, Gluten free pasta (there is such a thing.) You can also have quinoa as a side dish. You can also go to the store and get ideas. I don’t know where you live, but if there’s a whole foods market or a trader joe’s near you, you can go there for ideas.
As a side note,I didn’t even know you can buy xanthan gum. The only way I know about it is by seeing it on ingredients lists on packages.
Syag Happy birthday!
For all those who think it’s muktza (and you need a shinui) to type on Chol Hamoed, several Poskim have given svaros for why typing is muttar on Chol Hamoed:
It’s not a maaseh uman
It’s not considered writing
HakunaMatada- If you’re asking them mechila even if it’s something that you don’t remember, how is that any different than something you do remember?
I have a friend who doesn’t believe in asking people mechila because everyone says tefila zaka, and in tefila zaka you say you’re mochel everybody. However, i heard b’shem the Chofetz Chaim that you shouldn’t rely on that because not everyone has time to say it (which is why in machzorim they have that paragraph inserted earlier).

Yaleh veyavo -but that’s not lively (I think Miami Boys Choir)
Rabbi Bentzion Shafier (TheShmuz), Rabbi Paysach Krohn.
Burnt Steak- T hope you’re joking.
I didn’t verify this yet, but I heard that part of asking for mechila is the embarassment to have to ask them for mechila. Therefore it’s better not to ask for mechila in a letter/mass text/email. I am a fan of a mass text just saying Gmar Chasima Tova, etc. It shows that you care about them.
I actually heard a nice vort on this topic. During the Asseres Yemei Teshuva, people try to do more teshuva. They keep pas yisroel, chalav yisroel, ask pople for mechila. What happened the rest of the year? The whole year you need to do teshuva! The answer is that imagine that we wouldn’t have the asseres yemei teshuva. There would be no aliyah whatsoever. Therefore we have an asseres yemei teshuva and that should take us through the whole year and remind us to do teshuva if we do an aveira
Look in Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim Siman Reish Pey Vav Seif Daled and in the Mishna Berura.
That’s the one I get
a lot of shuls and organizations have an email list.
I get a daily halacha text. There’s someone in Brooklyn who does it. If you want I’ll post the number. He has 2100 members.
Being Real yous should know that there are girls out there who are interested in marrying guys who are working because they don’t want to be the only one who’s dependent on money. At the same time they respect Limud Hatorah and they want someone who’s Kovea Itim Latorah and he values Torah.

golfer, No I’m not offended in the slightest. Isn’t that the word? Maybe it’s yoke
Gamanit, you are right I stand corrected. The word I was looking for is emotionally.
notpicker you started two threads!
I’ll repeat myself here
The truth of the matter is that it’s not based on age. It depends on when you mature. For some people it’s 18-19 (most boys not) 21,22,23,24 etc. Even if you’re expected to, it won’t change anything. It all depends on how mature you are. I know several people who got married young. One got divorced a year later. Another one I know who got married young is still married bli ayin hara. How do you expect to get guys to mature faster? They can’t go to EY any earlier. (That’s a whole discussion in itself.) Everyone has their own maturity level. I don’t think it really depends on age.

nitpicker you can’t do that. You started it, stay in it!
a)Boys want to stay in learning longer before putting on the yolk of marriage, and with marriage comes parnasa. b) mentally and physically boys aren’t ready at 18. There are skills you need to learn before marriage. For girls they mature faster. But however most boys mature at a slower rate.
There’s a yeshiva in Newark called Yeshiva@IDT. You could also try Ner Yisroel.
If you’re not joking, then I’ll tell you what the problem is. I’m sure that are tons of threads about this, but I’ll say it here anyways. Boys usually aren’t ready at 18. Marriage involves alot of responsibility. Most buys aren’t ready to take on that responsibility at that age. Not even chassidim get married at that age. Chassidim are usually 20 when they look to get married. That’s that culture. But in the litvishe world, most boys aren’t ready at that age. Even if you want to train boys to be ready at that age, however both mentally and physically they won’t be ready yet. They also would have to worry about parnasa even if your parents are supporting and at a young age like that most boys aren’t capable of that. In my opinion the way to solve the shidduch crisis is to continue marrying closer to your age. Marrying younger won’t work to solve the crisis right now anyways.
You’re asking of where to go or how to deal with it?
Gefen If you didn’t understand http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/General+News/180155/Ohio-Monster-Gets-Life-Term-Plus-1%2C000-Years-In-Kidnapping-Of-3-Women.html I think Oh Shrek is being sarcastic
It’s Tn the Medrash Says in Parshas Shemos page 51. He brings it from a Rashi in Sanhedrin kuf aleph amud beis.

The only thing that came up from the ny post when I googled it was an article from a year ago that chassidishe schools put a ban on bike riding to school. That article put yidden in a very bad light. If that’s what you’re talking about, I would say that it could be it was banned because of sakana. Maybe the schools were afraid of someone getting hurt on their bike on the way to or from school. That happened to me once. I was riding home from school when I was in elementary school and I lost control of the bike and I rode into traffic. Baruch Hashem I was fine. A week later the principal went to every classroom and said that everyone who leaves school must be supervised. “We had an incident a week ago where a kid got hurt and I don’t want to be responsible for accidents like that.” I hadn’t realized someone had told the principal on me.
Gamanit-If she wears a wide skirt, that will prevent the skirt from picking up. zahavasdad-where did you hear this from?
The only thing that I can think of what’s going on is that bike riding was banned for females in some communities because that it’s not tznius, and even if they’re dressed tznius, “es pas nisht” for a frum girl to ride her bike.
Who said it was banned?
WIY Thanks.
Here’s this week’s dvar Torah
This also explains the Gemara that says the importance of the minim are based on their positioning in the pasuk. You are required to make a bracha first on the minim closer to the word Eretz since they are more important.

Let’s say a bochur would have come up and held out his hand to help her up. She would think he’s meshuga! She would think this is a yeshiva bochur?! Bochurim in these situations probably are confused. Some might want to help her but they have no idea how to help. That’s why I said before, like feminist02, that they should have at least helped her by moving the suitcases around her so she have gotten up easier.
If you go to dinonline.org there’s a shailah on there about someone who wants to become a physical therapist and is he allowed to touch women for it. This was cut and pasted from there.
A student of mine (22 y/o male) would like to become a physical therapist. However, this may entail touching women both during school and while practicing as one. Is this permitted?
Answer:
It is fine to become a physical therapist. There is a preference not to treat women, but where there is a need it is permitted.
Sources:
Based on the same principles, it would be permitted to practice medical techniques, including physical therapy (which is a recognized technique) on women. A further reason for leniency is that the Gemara (Avodah Zarah 20) teaches that a person at work does is not inclined to have forbidden thoughts, though some question the application of this principle to scenarios of directly touching women.
Yet, there is a difference between physical therapy and taking a pulse, and there is more room for concern concerning prolonged treatments than for short checks. Therefore, although it is permitted, it is better to avoid the situation, where possible.
There’s a story written in the book A sun and its shield. It happened right before the holocaust, in Hungary. There was a girl who visited her cousins who had a child, a baby. The girl was staying at their house and during the day a babysitter came. One day the babysitter bundled up the baby and told the girl that they were going for a walk. They went on a walk and came to a dark building. They went inside. The girl had no idea what the building was, she was a little girl, but she sensed something wrong and she didn’t like the looks of it and asked the babysitter if they could go home. The babysitter didn’t want to but after pleading and begging the babysitter didn’t want to make a scene, so they went home. That night the girl told the parents, her cousins what had happened. They realized that the babysitter had gone to church and had probably done before with the baby who knows how many times. They told the girl if you see anything else out of the ordinary, then let us know.
This happened many years ago, but it technically could still happen today.
Coming from personal experience, I once had a non jewish babysitter who wasn’t very nice and for some reason, my mother’s necklace was missing after the first day she babysat. After that first day she was fired.
In my opinion, from the story that the OP said, this had nothing to do with Pikuach Nefesh, but i agree with jewishfeminist02 that the bochurim could have moved her bags, making it easier for her to get up.
DerechErets What are you talking about? All of these bookstores have a lot of seforim.
ZBerman books- there are 2 locations one in westgate and one on squankum. Torah Treasures- 2nd and Clifton. Judaica Plaza-Shoprite Plaza
I think some clarification is needed here. It is muttar to drink water before HAVDALAH. It is assur to drink water before Kiddush. Before davening Shabbos morning, there is no chiyuv kiddush. The chiyuv kiddush onlky starts when you start davening. However it is assur to eat before davening. (If you need to eat and can’t hold out, then ask your LOCR.) But it’s muttar to drink water before davening without Kiddush.
gefen that’s a machlokes achronim whether you’re allowed to say it in a beis Medrash. I think it’s between the Shach and the Taz.
It’s his real name. In one of his books, (which was taken from his articles), he debates whether it’s his real name or a pen name. I happen to know for a fact that it’s his real name. I know one of his family members and that person’s last name is Schmutter.
The reason why there would be an electrical button is to make the water go smoother when it comes out. The water comes out in a perfect stream as opposed to the water going all over the place.

sam2 thanks.
From what I knew 5 years ago, it had a dorm and was open to out of towners but the dowm was full and someone I knew wasn’t able to stay in the dowm and had to stay with relatives in Baltimore instead. This was 5 years ago, anything could have happened since then. From what I knew 5 years ago, it was a yeshivish place and there was a lot of very yeshivish guys who were there, but they really were targeting yeshivish guys but not ultra yeshivish.
