Nov 5	comment	the land from which you brought us out = Egypt? @SethJ : there is an example of a very similar type of question brought in gemora Pesachim 3a. The verse by Noach (Genesis 7:8) says to bring into the ark animals that are טהורה (pure) and animals that are אשר איננה טהורה (lit. that are not pure). This is instead of the shorter and more conventional טמאה (impure). ... from here we learn the importance of clean speech!
Nov 3	comment	Why Avraham hated Yishmael if he was a tzadik @ba you are definitely right. This is pshat in Rashi. you should answer... (or else i'll have to ;) )
Oct 31	comment	Can Sforim be used as a shtender? @DoubleAA +1 thanks (but whose answer should i accept?...you answered first but Yehoshua's answer gives a broader picture )
Oct 29	comment	Do Chasidim avoid wearing ties? Furthermore , did you notice that the original question was only directed towards Chasidim - because - quite frankly - Jews from all other sectors of Judiasm wear ties. The only hava amina was with - pious - Chasidim
Oct 29	comment	Do Chasidim avoid wearing ties? @DoubleAA in any case from the gist of my answer it is clear that your intentions will only help when we're talking about a 'neutral' object not a forbidden one. As I said above: in hachi nami: for those that say it's ossur- it's ossur! But if you insist, i'll edit out the bit about Chukas Akum
Oct 29	comment	Do Chasidim avoid wearing ties? Are you saying that If you follow the Gra, then it's ossur to wear a tie? Something tells me this is wrong because i've seen religious Jews who follow the Gra and wear ties.
Oct 29	comment	Do Chasidim avoid wearing ties? @DoubleAA: did you see Shalom's comment: "But R' Moshe Feinstein writes that American clothing styles are all about looking good (or trying?) and therefore not "senseless.
Oct 29	comment	Do Chasidim avoid wearing ties? Excuse me? the whole basis of my answer was that ties are NOT formally forbidden but rather based on svoro/speculation. I tried reading the Gra but I don't think I fully understood it. In any case I didn't see any clear reference to ties. So no, I WAS NOT talking about a real issur deoraita. (Are you saying that it's mefurash in the Gra that wearing a tie is an issur deoraita??)
Oct 29	comment	Do Chasidim avoid wearing ties? @DoubleAA There are Rabbis which say that internet is forbidden. If someone comes along and says: "wait a sec, but I only want to use it for a daily Torah shiur" - is this making a mockery of the halachik system?
Oct 29	comment	Do Chasidim avoid wearing ties? You wouldn't pasken whether a tie is Chukos Hagoyim from a possuk, but rather from a Svoro like: 'it's a useless garment so which goyim wear, so therefore we shouldn't be wearing it' which is exactly what i'm been saying all along. In any case i'd like to see the tshuva you're referring to.
Oct 29	comment	Do Chasidim avoid wearing ties? What i'm trying to say is that if there was a clear-cut halacha of Chukos HaGoyim - then there would be an outright issur and nobody would wear ties
Oct 29	comment	Do Chasidim avoid wearing ties? So THOSE people shouldn't/don't wear ties (like I said in my answer)
Oct 29	comment	Do Chasidim avoid wearing ties? @Double AA :Which Tanna says that ties are Chukos Hagoyim?? The fact that many great Rabbis wear them is proof enough for me that it is not really 'Chukos Hagoyim' but only similar to it. For THIS I can say it depends on the wearer's intensions. If the tie had Shatnes in it however - then intensions wouldn't help ;)
Oct 28	comment	Chabad custom of not allowing water to touch matzah on Pesach I don't know of any... but I would take the Alter Rebbe's word for it.
Oct 27	comment	Tish'a Ushloshim Umatayim - mi yodeya? +1 why would this have been downvoted??
Oct 26	comment	Neither from a thread to a shoe strap I didn't see the other (duplicate) question. Before I submit a question I always look if similar ones are out there.. and nothing similar showed up
Oct 22	comment	impure animals: present, future, past +1 thanks @Michoel
Oct 21	comment	What is Rashi proving with words in different languages @seth one more thing: did the Jews who left Egypt speak Afriki, Persion and Greek ? If not - why would the Torah contain these languages?
Oct 21	comment	What is Rashi proving with words in different languages @seth also, apart from 'YGar Sahadutah' - which is a direct quote of Lavan - which other words are not Lashon HaKodesh?
Oct 21	comment	What is Rashi proving with words in different languages @seth so how do you answer this question: What is Rashi proving with words in different languages???
