Topic Wiki

  • Please post the mekor (source) for the Halacha cited.
  • This thread is not for debate or lengthy discussion of the mentioned halachos. That can be done in the Discussions Thread. Unless you either believe that there is a serious error in din or have a limud z’chus - in that case please cite the source.
@AsherO

I would like a list of potential pitfalls. This is not the Shulchan Aruch here, but to raise awareness, so people will know to look into it, or ask their rabbi.

As per the intention of the OP and the consensus of the majority of posters on the thread - once there are more than a couple of comments on a Halacha - take it to the Discussions Thread

- A source should be brought for each halacha, even just the name of the rabbi you heard it from, or a link to a shiur.
- To comment further, post your comment in the discussion thread and use the link to post as a clean response.

We definitely need another thread for all the suggestions coming in

Can we all maybe compromise to save ourselves from ripping each other to shreds?

Someone who posts in this thread should not write their Halacha in definite terms (such as, "one may not eat meat on Shabbos Chazon"). But write it in a more suggestive tone ("There may be an issue to eat meat on Shabbos Chazon" or, "ask your Rabbi about eating meat on Shabbos Chazon) to leave it to the Oilum to battle it out in the discussion thread or to ask their LOR/LOD/LOKP.

That way the thread will stay as was intended without it misleading people who don't check the discussion thread.
How can we write “there may be an issue” on something which is straight up problematic? That would imply there may not be an issue.

Agreed. That is why I suggested a source requirement. If someone then wants to bring a different source and then move further discussion elsewhere then I can see that working. Keep this to the headlines and then keep further discussion to a different thread.

ADDENDUM

If you would like a discussion of the post you are posting to be posted in a different thread, post the link to that thread in your post so we don’t need to search for it every time. Otherwise it stays here.

Because many (most?) of the items (to date) in the thread have not been cut and dry issues, but ones with multiple shittos in practice.

New protocol for this thread

* For each halacha posted, a source should be provided, even if that source is just the name of the rabbi you heard it from, or a link to a shiur.
* No commenting at all beyond that (besides if the OP of that halacha wants to correct something.)
* To comment on a halacha, post your comment in the halacha comments thread, and provide a link to your comment here in this thread.

The Mishnah Berurah (242:6) cites Achronim who state that, out of honor of Shabbos and Yom Tov, one should try not to eat pas palter on Shabbos and Yom Tov.
