And I would imagine same could be said for many of the later Poskim inside the SH"A who take no issue with this psak.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-14098566181150833282008-06-23T18:45:00.000-04:002008-06-23T18:45:00.000-04:00I have a particular way of folding my tallis, but ...I have a particular way of folding my tallis, but it has nothing to do with ritual, or tradition, but because it fits better in the bag that way. Rather than just folding it in half multiple times, the third fold is three-ways, like a letter for an envelope. Then keep folding in half, and it fits the bag nicely.<BR/><BR/>Probably depends on the shape of your bag and proportions of your tallith.thanbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06197564008203120013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-83286387571991473982008-06-23T14:19:00.000-04:002008-06-23T14:19:00.000-04:00I haven't been there in a while, so I cannot say a...I haven't been there in a while, so I cannot say anything accurate about this.<BR/><BR/>But my impression is that there are different people who come into YU, and it is a mix from across the spectrum. If this is so, perhaps due to sociological reasons, more chareidi-leaning folk are gravitating towards YU. I don't think it is due to any specific teaching which goes on at YU. Sorry I cannot be more helpful in this regard.<BR/><BR/>Kol Tuv,<BR/>Joshjoshwaxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149022516101476797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-88027252066835004822008-06-23T08:34:00.000-04:002008-06-23T08:34:00.000-04:00Rabbi Waxman I am a centrist RZ.

After numerous discussions with RIETS graduates of late I find them to have a non RZ or even an agudah derech Many want to move to Passiac or charedi brooklyn. I want to know if YU has become just another charedi yeshiva That is the view if many people in the community. So many YU boys would rather daven in shuls with no tefliah for the MEDINAH/IDF. I was wondering what the @#$#$ is going on there.

Still stumbling in the dark on this, I will note that I am somewhat of a maverick and do not represent the typical RIETS graduate.<BR/><BR/>Looking back now, do your roshei teivos refer to Rav Herschel Schachter and Rav Mordechai Willig? I can reiterate, the purpose of this blog post is not to advance any particular ruling, but to make a *meta-halachic* comment as to whether these kol korehs which keep readers ignorant of the halachic complexities are good. Nor is that the general purpose of this blog. (In this instance, I can say that I was not really in Rav Willig's regular shiur. I was in Rav Schachter's shiur, but I do not know what he holds on the practical matter of how to fold one's tallis on Shabbos, nor did I ask him prior to preparing this post.)<BR/><BR/>But what does the medinah have to do with anything? I remain confused. Can you explain your question, and your background? Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Kol Tuv,<BR/>Joshjoshwaxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149022516101476797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-21823933461962092962008-06-22T23:32:00.000-04:002008-06-22T23:32:00.000-04:00Please tell me how many graduates of RIETS become ...Please tell me how many graduates of RIETS become charedi I mean in terms of the medinah and do not even share a RHs or RMW viewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-64577163617090588372008-06-22T13:51:00.000-04:002008-06-22T13:51:00.000-04:00He's only following the lead of the Rabbis.When a ...He's only following the lead of the Rabbis.<BR/><BR/>When a large number of prominent rabbis break a thousand year old tradition and communicate their halakhic opinions through kol koreys instead of logical teshuvot (i.e. shabbos oven), you can't expect any better from the shlomazels hanging up signs in your neighborhood.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
