I was specifically focusing on the ones I quoted which people do try to makpid about. Did I imply otherwise? I know Reb Moshe had a son in law named Moshe etc. But people do avoid that lichatchila. | |

One must immediately chop down a tree that brings forth fruit twice in a year, though one may not chop down a fruit tree (?); a rabbi can't live in Heidelberg, a kohen can't live in Regensburg, and nobody can live in Augsburg (possibly for his own descendents); one shouldn't live in Swabia; don't pray at a cemetery in another city, lest the deceased of one's own city be offended; someone who moves away from a house may not move back for seven years; never cry when parting from someone; one dare not travel or move to a new residence on the first, third, or twenty-fifth of the month, etc. | |
| Jan 12, 2016 at 5:01 | comment | added | Fred | While it is common for poskim to cite various observances of those who follow the tzava'os of R' Yehuda HaChasid, many if not most of the tzava'os are ignored entirely AFAIK. I think it would be difficult for someone to actually be able to adhere to all of them. E.g.: Don't have a shower/bathtub in your house unless the shower is open to the public; two married brothers should not live in the same city; once you leave home on a trip, don't go back inside the house if you forgot to take something; don't oil your shoes on the day you plan to take a trip... | |

I know people on this site don't generally like spooky stuff, but I'm just telling over stories. | |

Whether or not you are a priori inclined to believe spooky stuff exists or should be applied to current Halachic questions, spooky stories cannot be used as evidence unless they are statistically significant and one story isn't statistically significant. Do a study about sibling marriages and then show us the results if you want anyone (even those who think spookiness ought be used in current practical halachic deciding) to use that evidence in their decision making process. | |
