Dec 2	comment	Firefighting on shabbat tAs far as I know there is no permission to extinguish fire to save only property. If ther eis a danger of spreading or to life and limb (which there almost always is) then of course the fire must be extinguished.
Dec 2	comment	Firefighting on shabbat if we were ever short we had mutual aid from other neighboring towns. there were also backups on call.
Jul 23	comment	Sefer Milhamot Hashem - from Bamidbar 21:14 thanks, its been a hectic few months, when things get crazy something has to give.
May 14	comment	Limits on Shikhiha Leket and Peah that makes sense and it also connects in someways to the conversation around the possibility of hefker le'aniim. IE can I be mafkir something only for a group of individuals. You may be right but it doesnt sit well with me.
May 14	comment	Limits on Shikhiha Leket and Peah so there is mamash no limit? Wow I am surprised.
May 14	comment	Where do matza bakers find flour that's definitely never gotten wet? you were right! sorry they were still pretty cool videos.
May 14	comment	Are conservative, reform and those “off the derech” part of 'amcha'? what I meant was that the cost benefit equation goes gets weighed as part of the Halakhic reasoning when addressing any question. The fact that the risks are so high tilts the poskim in a particular direction. It is the same thing in cases of being matir mamzeirim. The risk for the mamzer is so high that poskim have always looked for any way to say that this particular person is not a mamzer. Of course all this has to be within Halakhic parameters and never God Forbid stray beyond them.
May 14	comment	Are conservative, reform and those “off the derech” part of 'amcha'? I think that what @LazerA has keyed up on on his answer above is that there is much to lose from excluding people and little to gain while if we include people then there is always hope that they may return to Derekh Hashem.
May 14	comment	Are conservative, reform and those “off the derech” part of 'amcha'? I think that Conservative Jews are Omrei Mutar. Many know that there is an halakh and that melakha is assur on shabbat yet they believe it is mutar to drive on shabbos. Reform Jews are more complecated. I think that in essence they are tinokot shenishbu. They were raised in an environment that promoted an anti-halakhic life style. this is deeply troubling but seems to fit the category of tinok she'nishba according to R Ettlinger. (it is the binyan tzion I have corrected the answer)
May 7	comment	When did Ruth convert? I would also say that the end of the malbim of and I am as one of your nation is telling.
May 7	comment	When did Ruth convert? @DoubleAA I can accept that she actually underwent conversion, whatever that looked like in those days when she arrived in Israel. In my mind, the only hint at a moment of transition in the p'shat of the text are those p'ssukim from perek aleph. All the other inferences are great but less supported by the p'shat. So if I had to rephrase my answer I would say. The only indication in the pshat of the text is that the conversion happened at that point. However there are those who suggest that she converted when she arrived in yehuda.
May 7	comment	When did Ruth convert? מלבי"ם רות פרק א פסוק טז כי מגמת הליכתי הוא מצד כי עמך עמי ואלהיך אלהי, שכבר תפשתי תורת אלהיך ומנהגי בני עמך ואני כאחת מבני עמך: ok so this is the end of malbim it says clearly that she had already accepted torah
May 7	comment	When did Ruth convert? ALl I said was that the pashut phsat is that none of this happened. I also said that people use this to try and undermine the halakhic requirements of giyur which I should I guess have qualified. I think that anyone who uses Ruth to do so is absolutely wrong and doing something atrocious
May 7	comment	When did Ruth convert? And so by implication this is when it happened no? isnt the malbim saying that if you were not to accept me right here and now I would do it anyway with someone else.
Apr 17	comment	Counting the Omer non-verbally There is an interesting parallel discussion around a woman counting 7 clean days after she finishes menstruating. There are some who pasken there that you have to count verbally and some say that all you need is Mudaut HaMinyan knowledge of the count. This is different but it would be interesting to compare.
Apr 16	comment	How were men allowed to watch an execution? you are asking a bigger question but I would respond first to the smaller one. In the movie the actress isnt really dead. But I would say that yes probably if one saw the body of an actress in a movie and she or he was pale / bloody and naked one would probably not have sexual thoughts.
Apr 11	comment	Is catch and release fishing permitted? let us continue this discussion in chat
Apr 11	comment	Is catch and release fishing permitted? so we've discovered that there is makhlokes. This is no shock. I agree that there are deot cholkot.
Apr 11	comment	Is catch and release fishing permitted? שו"ת שרידי אש חלק ב סימן צא עמוד תרה הנה במה שכתב הנוב"י והכ"ו דבמיתה לא שייך איסור דצער בעלי חיים נ"ל להביא ראי' גם מגמ' עבודה זרה י"ג, ב דפריך: ולשוי' גיסטרא? עיי"ש ברש"י. ומוכח דבמיתה ליכא איסור דצער בעלי חיים. וכן מפורש בתוס' בבא בתרא כ', א ד"ה כיון, שהקשו שם: "כולה בהמה שקל ושדי לכלבים"?
Apr 10	comment	Is catch and release fishing permitted? LeTzorech Ha'Adam must refer to adding pleasure of some sort and lechvod h'adam the prevention of some pain. This is the case because the example R Moshe uses is about adding pleasure ie shechita for nochrim as aposed to avoiding some pain to a person. Either way it is clear that R Moshe is against hunting even if he did not say assur.
