    “and you may not refuse to eat in their houses, even from their fleishige keilim!”

    Milhouse: Are you making this assertion even if that very piece of what you know with certainty is chazer, but the other Rov ruled to be kosher meat, was used on those very fleishige keilim?!

    Chabadshlucha: I didn’t address this comment to you, nor in the past have they been addressed to you despite your consistent sticking your two-cents into discussions way above your head. This was addressed to Philosopher, so you needn’t feel a need to pipe in or announce that you won’t address. In the past when you’ve purported to supposedly challenge the multitude of direct and explicit Torah sources I cited and sourced (that anyone can lookup themselves rather than relying on me), you’ve never been able to do so and instead stumbled and hemmed and hawed with vague non-answers based on your personal feelings and what you openly admitted were your personal reinterpretations of sources that you said you have no source other than your own feelings for.

    Queens is not much smaller than Brooklyn in either geographic size or in population.

    Philosopher: Please identify which, if any, of the following are from medieval Christian or Islamic religions:

    Bereishis 3:16, Bereishis 18:12

    Tehilim 45:11-12, which the Menoras Hame’or 2:176 says teaches us that a wife should not view her husband as an equal but rather as her master.

    Shulchan Aruch, Y.D. 240:17, which explicitly states wives are subservient to their husband.

    Ben Yehoyada, Menachos 43b, which says so as well.

    Rambam, Hilchos Ishus 15:20, which states a wife must do all her deeds according to what her husband says, she should fear him and he should be in her eyes as a ruler or king.

    אגרות משה אורח חיים חלק ד סימן עה

    As far as listening, Bava Metzia 59a says a husband who listens to his wife on matters of religion/ruchniyos issues will end up in gehenom.

    Last week Mr. Shmully Yanklowitz of YCT, who claims to have an Orthodox conversion despite his heretical beliefs, posted online that just as shelo asani isha is sexist so too shelo asani goy is “xenophobic Jewish exceptionalism”. And that both blessings need to equally be replaced.

    There’s nothing wrong with subservience. People are subservient to Hashem. Avodim are subservient to their master. Rabbonim are subservient to Gedolim. The hamon hoam are subservient to Rabbonim. Yisroelim are subservient to Kohanim. And women are subservient to men.

    There’s nothing different about the last mentioned subservience than with any of the previous ones. Whereas no one has problems with all the previous exemples of subservience, the only reason the latter example raises any hackles is due to the influence of the gentile world that unfortunately surrounds us and has influenced too many of us into sharing their corrupt values. And the latter example is something that the gentile world over the last hundred years has changed to promoting egalitarianism that was never a societal value, even by them, beforehand.

    If you’ll recall, in your early days in the CR you were trying to effectively post who you are, by giving very detailed activities and locations about yourself, but the mods had to restrain you by redacting pertinent details in your posts even though you said you were okay with anyone knowing who you are.

    iac/thinker: The US Census updates its figures periodically more than its full enumeration decennial count. Every couple years or so they provide an updated count to account for the changes since the last full census. These counts also include both legal residents and illegal aliens.

    Even without considering the Census’ ACS mid-decade updates, you can look at both the 1970 and 1980 decennial census’ to see if the estimates numbers align with those from the office census (which includes all residents, including illegals.)

    Furthermore, regarding changes to Brooklyn’s population from 1980 through today in 2018, wouldn’t those population changes potentially affect the psak since the psak is determined based on population?

    iac: The US Census includes illegal aliens in their population figures for any area. Does your response indicate that the psak added a figure in its population assumption above the US Census figure? Because the Census figure already included all residents, legal or not. Thus adding an assumption above the Census would result in an inaccurate over-estimate.

    A kaporas chicken usually cost about $9 each. (If you also do shechita it’s usually about an additional $4 each.) Most people with the minhag get separate chickens for each spouse and child.

    There’s no particularly set amount of money required for those that have the minhag to use money for kaporas.

    iac: The US Census issues very accurate population figures for Brooklyn and every individual zip code within Brooklyn. Were the estimates used for the psak in line with the US Census figures?

    And would a changing population figure over the years for Brooklyn effectively change what the psak holds whether an eiruv is permitted?
