Apr 12	comment	100% Polyester or Silk suits requiring checking @ArielK let's be Dan Lechaf Zechut and say that they actually believe that it's required.
Apr 12	comment	What do you have to check for Shatnez? @RabbiMichaelTzadok "Kabel et Haemet MiMisheamara- accept the truth from the one who said it." He brings a valid Safek Sefeka regardless if you agree with his other Pesakim. Anyways, he is not a Daat Yahid as he has the Mishne Halachot as well on his side.
Apr 12	comment	Why is it necessary to ask a Rabbi? learntorah.com/lt-shiur-details.aspx?id=7435
Apr 12	comment	100% Polyester or Silk suits requiring checking And if you'd like I can bring an exhaustive list of Rishonim and Aharonim that don't hold one must check BeEfsharim Levarer.
Apr 12	comment	100% Polyester or Silk suits requiring checking @ShmuelBrin even according to most the Poskim that hold you still need to check Be'efshar Levarer one doesn't need to check when it's not "Efshar Levarer BeKalut" and I don't think anything that takes a professional to check for would count as BeKalut.
Apr 11	comment	How can we strengthen belief in the coming of Moshiach and the end of our exile? Thanks @ShmuelBrin ולעולם לא יתעסק אדם בדבר ההגדות ולא יאריך במדרשות האמורים בענינים אלו וכיוצא בהן ולא ישימם עיקר שאין מביאין לא לידי יראה ולא לידי אהבה וכן לא יחשב הקצין אמרו חכמים תפח רוחם של מחשבי הקצים אלא יחכה ויאמין בכלל הדבר כמו שבארנו:
Apr 11	comment	How can we strengthen belief in the coming of Moshiach and the end of our exile? I've heard that the Rambam says that there is no point of learning about what will happen around Mashiach because it "doesn't make one love Hashem or fear Hashem."
Apr 11	comment	Why is the Kitzur so much more popular than the Chayey Adam? Maybe because the name sounds more simple for the regular Baal HaBos.
Apr 10	comment	Which Hasidic rabbi has no beard, and what is the story? To do deal with two of the flaws of this answer. The Hassidut that the Ramhal was discussing was not the Hassidut of the Baal Shem Tov (or even close). Second, since the Ramhal was a great Mekubal, it makes sense to assume that he held like the Zohar which is very strict about keeping a beard.
Apr 8	comment	Rollerblading on shabbas? @DoubleAA Ashrecha!!
Apr 8	comment	Rollerblading on shabbas? @DoubleAA what exactly is your point?
Apr 4	comment	In front of Moshe, why not all of Klal Yisrael? FTR Sefaradim don't have this in Arvit.
Apr 3	comment	Saying Rishonim or Achronim were “wrong” Aren't there very famous cases when the Raavad completetly ripped the Rambam?
Apr 3	comment	A letter prohibiting television? ועיין בשו״ת יביע אומר חלק ו אורח חיים סימן י״ב , שכתב עצם הכנסת טלביזיא בבית הוא איסור גמור לכל מי שמודה על האמת שיש בה מושב לצים , ביטול תורה , ושורש פורה ראש ולענה שמגרה יצר הרע בעצמו , על ידי מראות נגעים , בבכל דרכי הפריצות והתועבות הרעות אשר שנא השם , משחית נפשו הוא יעשנה . ועובר משום אל תפנו אל האלילים , שמשמעותו אל תפנו אל מדעתכם . ״וגאונים רבים קראו על המביאה אל תוך ביתו ולא תביא תועבה אל ביתך , וכל שכן מי שיש לו ילדים בבית , שמכשילם ומוציאם לרשות הסטרא אחרא , ועובר משום אל תשכן באהלך עולה והשם יתברך יגדור פרצותינו ופירצות עמו ישראל ןנחזור בתשובה שלימה אמן הרב עובדיה יוסף .
Apr 3	comment	Can you drink a beer (such as Miller or Budweiser) at a bar? What about once in a while (akrai)? It seems that Maran is Matir that
Mar 31	comment	Sephardim and Two Sifrei Torah @mekubal I'm pretty sure Kol Eliyahu's Halachot were written by his son.
Mar 31	comment	Sephardim and Two Sifrei Torah Well the Halachot in Kol Yaakov were written by his son :)
Mar 31	comment	shiduch date haircut during sefira @Shalom ^good question...
Mar 29	comment	Would a convert/Ba'al Teshuvah have to remove any tattoos they may have? There is such thing as a tattoo which isn't removeable?
Mar 29	comment	Would a convert/Ba'al Teshuvah have to remove any tattoos they may have? I know a Baal Teshuva who still has a tattoo. He is a Talmid Hacham so it seems that there could be a Heter to keep it.
