who said everything in society that develops in society is religious in nature?
although being called xmas trees and xmas lights and putting them up in december is a bit of a clue
perhaps all saints day might be a clue also
i dont know the history of halloween
but that the fact that its not in their official doctrines is meaningless
that was my only point.
because that controversy is officially over
health has been very mature about it
and its over
actually i think its ado not adieu
i think adieu is french for goodbye or something
during intestinal flu epidemics (yes health i know there is really no such thing as intestinal flu) you need 15-20 to be on the safe side.
i think i totally misunderstood the issue under consideration here.
i officially hereby forthwith and without further adieu withdraw my comments.
to clarify my answer a little, since it was a little muddled
ultimately the spouse would have to undergo a proper meaningful conversion or be dropped.
what to do if he still refuses, i dont know
depends on what point the process is in, how firm his feelings are, and a huge host of other more subtle factors.
but im not a kiruv expert, posek, or Talmid Chochom.
a discussion with me would be spinning wheels
but you asked for my opinion.
my opinion is that of the kiruv experts, Poskim, and Talmedai Chochomim that i know.
yes
that is also my opinion
justsmile
the Halachah is to daven your own Nusach for the silent Shemoneh Esrei
if that bothers you, speak to someone about it
i assume a teshiva is a place where they stress doing teshuva as well as Gemorrah?
or perhaps you are referring to the multiple Telshe Yeshivas?
true
health
there seem to be no other moderators here right now
and im a little busy doing other things
i dont have time to put out the fires you are starting in multiple threads
please take a break from posting for a while
thank you
and while you are writing up your post, i would appreciate it if you could also keep your opinions of the function of moderators out of the post as well
i didnt see anything in that post that should be posted except a few words (like “the” and “to”). i didnt see any Halachic points.
how about you repost it with just the Halachic points.
lets not make this personal please
(referring to certain edits not seen here)
this is also the end of the health-bpt fight which (considering the deleted posts)is getting downright personal and unpleasant
pretty much what i thought
that is why the poster stated: “as it were”
meaning he is aware of the fact that she cannot not be considered one, but was asking if a similar concept might apply here.
it is difficult to imagine R’ Kotler doing this.
even if he held he could not Daven Nusach Sefard because it is stam incorrect. i cant see him asking for the amud knowing he would then denigrate an entire Kehillah, even if he had Yahrtzeit.
its difficult to imagine
ive seen the same thing many times.
thats different.
thats how many Poskim hold
i imagine because it is respectful
this thread is now exclusively about amanda knox
there will be no discussion here of the Jewish boys involved in the Japan incident.
the same place in their handbook that bringing a tree into your house and putting thin colored balls of glass on it, and hanging strings of little lightbulb on your house are found in their formal religious doctrines.
things develop, things stick.
How does not saying Tachnun get to have the status of a Minhag?
call it what you will.
it is the way of conduct of most Chasidich Shuls, sanctioned by the Rav.
and it is not proper to Daven there and do so in a way that publicly contradicts their way of Davening.
the Sefardi Shul i often daven in has a large number of Ashkenazi Siddurim
i really doubt the story told to toi
since when have the goyim needed subterfuge to enter Jewish homes on their holiday rampages. kicking in the door has generally been the method of choice.
i dont know the mekor
but knowing the mekor for the papal costume, the altar, incense, holy water, “kipahs”, holy buildings, and a whole lot of other twisted Jewish ideas…
i would guess the idea of dressing in costumes and visiting homes to obtain presents of food was taken from Purim.
of course ask a Posek
i believe the velt is generally noheig to follow the Minhag of the shul you are davening in, regardless of your family or cultural Minhag.
i think that is the Halacha for something that is visible as to what you are doing, such as Tachanun or saying Kaddish
something private like the nusach of the silent Shemoneh Esrei is different.
i must say thats about the biggest whitewash, deliberate twisting and misunderstanding of an issue ive seen in a long time.
gez
of course not.
is that really your question?
or are you asking what should be our response?
although Rav Shach, tz’l, was critical of the Rebbe, certainly the Rebbe was a very great man.
no one is really claiming the problem is the Rebbe, rather his followers
it was a quote
J—s, on the other hand said that I am G-d, and you know longer have to do mitzvos, just believe in me, and I will save you.
this is not at all what he said. he believed in Hashem entirely and in His Torah. his followers changed everything most notablt peter-rabbit.
the history of how this silly nonsense began has been extremely distorted by the media.
i just now spent a good deal of time perusing the site
i did not detect any sinas chinam or any hatred
it seemed to me to be an erliche website
of course i dont know their history or who the people are behind the website, so i have not formed any definite opinion
here is from their main page, seems reasonable to me:
Because their teachers are among those educating our children in mainstream frum schools in nearly every city in North America. What is their curriculum?
Because their shochtim are entrusted with the delicate and precise task of producing kosher meat in greater numbers than any other group and their sofrim are producing significant numbers of sifrei Torah, tefilin and mezuzos. What are their kavanos?
Because their rabbis are leading shuls and guiding and staffing influential kashrus agencies throughout the world. What are the consequences?
Because their ideology is false and our own silence on the subject communicates a very strange message to our children and to the rest of the world.
A Note On Hatred.
We have long noted how Lubavitchers often respond to even the mildest and most balanced criticism with the charge of sinas chinum. This is true no matter how objective or even friendly is the tone of any letter or book on the subject. This is also true regardless of the lack of any evidence of actual bad feeling. It has unfortunately become utterly predictable that the principle reactions to any suggestion that there might be some problems in Chabad ideology or practice consist of deeply emotional (and often incoherent) accusations of personal hatred and venom.
This is a real shame because it makes it virtually impossible for anyone to engage in intelligent and productive dialogue on the issues that really matter.
i dont know anything about that website but i do know the esteemed Rosh Yeshiva, Shlita
an illuminating article by Rabbi Chaim Dov Keller, shlita,
Rosh Yeshiva of the Telshe Yeshiva, Chicago
Mod.80, to believe that the Rebbe is a part of G-d is totally Christianity(the concept of Trinity)
is that what they hold?
it is of course in no way fashion or form similar to x-anty.
however one could certainly make a case for the similarity of its current state to the origin of x-anity
Finally, it is highly doubtful that any Chabadnik believes the Rebbe is the Ribbono Shel Olam
i think you are right.
but they have substituted the Rebbe for HaKodeshBorchu and daven to the Rebbe directly, depend on him for their welfare and parnassah, and have transferred their emunah to him.
similar to the process by which the sun and other messengers of Hashem became avodah Zarah
is saying mashiv ha ruach “asking” for rain?
or is it a praise of Hashem alone?
(as opposed to saying v’sain tal u matar.)

since it seems to me that you are accepting upon yourself, based on information in this thread, that it is ok to eat things other than bread in the street, as long as its not gluttonous…
i strongly suggest you ask a Posek first
this is not at all how i understand the Halacha.
i dont have any sources for you
its not the ideal way to proceed l’chatchila.
but things happen.
i dont see any problem with proceeding.
just be sure:
1. you ask your Rebbes advice
2. you go through a competent 3rd party
3. you dont let your smittenness overide your evaluation of her character
ayc
1. there HAVE been some significant problems, though nothing of a terrible nature, that have occurred between posters here in the cr because of the unwarranted exchange of personal information.
2. i know 42 well. he is a mentch and an erliche Yid.
3. 42 is also very astute and has usually been the first to discover new joseph identities.
4. his intentions here were honest and for the sake of keeping the cr a safe place. his acerbic wit was displayed purely towards joseph, from whom 42 has had a great deal of frustration and agmas nefesh in the past
5. it seems that in this case, the first that i can think of, he has made a mistake. (although with joseph one can never be quite sure)
6. he has stated publicly that he now ALSO believes he may have made a mistake in this. A MISTAKE…this can happen, even to 42. he has admitted this. he has apologized for this. he has asked ayc for mechilah for this. he has tried to mend the rift between himself and ayc.
7. this should never have gotten to this unpleasant point.
i think it is time to end it now and let it be dropped.
8. ayc, i think it would be proper for you to state your mechilah in your next post. if i am on your good list (i dont remember) then i would ask you, if necessary, as a personal favor, to offer your mechila to 42 now. if i am on your other list then i would ask you to disregard this fact and do it because it is the right thing to do, it would be a chesed to a Yid (mod-42) who stands in the Good Graces of Hashem, and i believe is very distressed by the (well intentioned) mistake he has made.
okay i changed it
but now it ruins my joke
you owe me.
sam2, most certainly.
nevertheless we have to base our hishtadlus on the best information we have, guided by the Torah exclusively under the umbrella of our Gedolim.
i never heard a joke about an old blonde. can you tell it. i bet it has something to do with her hair becoming gray, right?
nostk
(no one seems to know)
that doesnt mean they are the most qualified or act with the Favor of the RibbonoShelOlam. the leaders of nazi germany l’havdil, ym’s were also placed there by the will of H’KBH, for His purposes.
i dont know
i hope someone can answer all these questions
okay, so in your humble opinion imho means what?
