@EYC613@purimenthusiast I don't eat kitnyiot because I'm a miserable Litvak. I dream of going to the Arctic circle, growing canola hydroponically and getting Passover certification for Ashkenazim. It would cost $200 a bottle but would not be grown anywhere near corn. Quinoa is not kitnyiot.
@EYC613@purimenthusiast I've heard all of these, and their refutations as well. I appreciate your time in putting this out here, I disagree with the conclusions you've drawn, but I respect that where you hold is accepted in relevant schisms of our faith.
@EYC613@purimenthusiast Halacha is flexible. If your Rabbi thinks that you will cover 3 tefachs from the shoulder blade, but if told to cover to the elbow, will choose a tank top, then 3 tefachs becomes tzniut for that person.
@EYC613@purimenthusiast I appreciate you making it this far in the conversation. If the community standard where you live is that women cover their hair, it is laudable to do so. This is something that has evolved over time to become more stringent. Like kitnyiot.
@EYC613@purimenthusiast I've heard a Rabbi tell two Rabbis who came over 4000 amot on Shabbat to argue about the status of an eruv that it was kosher (when it was not) in order that they could return to their families. Have you learned the Gemara Beitzah? Plenty of disagreement about pestle and mortar
@EYC613@purimenthusiast I'm not asking you to be polite to me. I'm asking you to understand that starting a rebuttal with, "you are wrong" has no basis in halachic discussion. "I hold like...." "The majority opinion is..." "Have you considered...." Hence your disqualification.
@EYC613@purimenthusiast How about you contend with my argument that politeness and consideration are defacto non negotiable for a conversation. You remain disqualified in the court of reasonable public opinion. Objection overruled.
