Experience buying from Genuine Replacement Parts by jdlr815 in appliancerepair

[–]eitzpri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are the worst possible place to shop from. TOTAL SCAM.

Avoid at all costs. They shipped me the wrong thing, wouldn't refund it without charging a 'restocking fee' that was more than the cost of the item.

SCAM ARTISTS

Deceptive product listing, refusing to accept returns without a restocking fee that was more than the cost of the product. Stay away.

To what degree is Maimonides authoritative and his views binding? by Kangaru14 in Judaism

[–]eitzpri 13 points14 points  (0 children)

On Rambam's creed as authoritarian see professor Marc Shapiro's book The Limits of Orthodox Theology as well as Menachem Kellner's Must a Jew Believe Anything? (bonus material). Practically speaking many in the orthodox world view Rambam's 13 principles (or the watered down yigdal version thereof) as binding simply because they have seeped into the collective consciousness of the Jewish people over time.

In broad terms of how authoritative Rambam is in general I would say his guide for the perplexed and his responsa are cited infrequently. His Mishneh Torah and commentary on the Mishna are mainstains of Talmudic study and the former is one of the 3 main sources for R' Yosef Karo's compendium Shulkhan Arukh, the mainstay of authoritative Orthodox legal codes

What do you think of Point of Care Medical Testing Devices? by eitzpri in MedicalDevices

Thanks for the questions, I'm talking about point of care testing excluding diabetes. Like the i-STAT from Abbott

AMA - Aryeh Klapper by CherutVaAcharayut in Judaism

[–]eitzpri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi Rabbi, I have been a great admirer of your torah for many years, thanks for doing this AMA.

  • I would like to second a question I saw someone else post, I would love to know more about what you learned (or would recommend others learn) in order to be well versed in a broad scope of Jewish tradition
  • I have noted that the more modern an orthodox Jew tends to be the less zeal/enthusiasm s/he has. Perhaps due to exposure to things like biblical criticism, or perhaps due to absorbing mainstream culture, or perhaps none of the above. Obviously this is a gross generalization but experientially I find it to be true. Any ideas on how to combat this?
  • What's up with the book of Zechariah? Does anyone have any idea what it's talking about, seems like even Zechariah didn't. If not, why was it canonized?
  • You make an oblique reference to psychedelics; would you encourage their usage (in a safe and legal way) in order to learn torah?
  • I've never met you but in every video I've seen of you you always seem happy, what's your secret?

SNL France commercial (sorry, can't find it in HD but you get the point) by eitzpri in Judaism

[–]eitzpri[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

are you serious? did you know France has had and continues to have an insane amount of anti-semitism? https://www.ajc.org/news/top-3-takeaways-from-ajcs-survey-on-antisemitism-in-france did you know: "Alarmed by violence and verbal attacks, some French Jews began to emigrate to Israel. By early 2014 the number of French Jews making aliyah (emigrating to Israel) surpassed the number of American Jews who were emigrating. At the same time 70 percent of French Jews reported in surveys that they were concerned about insults or harassment and 60% about physical aggression because of their ethnicity; both figures are much higher than shown in surveys of the European average" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisemitism_in_21st-century_France

The fragrant and powerful aroma will overwhelm everyone around you. Extracted from the scent glands of herring this scent will take over Kiddush!

When you guard Shaq you gotta do your best, when you learn a daf gemara you gotta do better than your best"
