are you allowed to pray for mundane things (i.e. that your sports team should win) ?

The extra money is gong to PayPal.. Why should it be a problem?

BH

Because for the fact the you are paying more to pay later when you could pay less to pay sooner

It is a problem of ribis because you are paying more to pay later, when you have the option to pay less.
Better?

The guy who you are paying isn't getting anything extra, you are borrowing money from the cc company so you can pay him now, and later you will pay the cc company what you owe THEM.

+1. It's not assur to pay ribis, it's assur to pay ribis to a Jew.

R' Yisroel Reisman once said over in a Navi Shiur: Someone once asked R' Moshe if you could Daven to win your game and he said yes. Someone else asked if he could Daven that the Mets should win and he said no. What the difference is is up to your understanding. (Rabbi Reisman joked that you cant Daven for the Mets to win because it's a Tefillas Shav, an impossible Tefilla!  ;) )

Is paying the with a CC via paypal (I.E paying more in order to pay later) a problem with ribis or avak ribis? I am paying for a service if it makes a difference.

Thanks

the mother of of the Kohain Godal would bring food to the people entrapped in the ar'ai miklot so that they wouldnt pray for her sons early death

so if you can pray for a leader of the jewish people to die than Im pretty sure that you can prey for the Mets to win the world series

the only difference is that the kohain godal is pretty much guaranteed to die eventually and there is no guarantee that the Mets will ever win

Yes, but the one who asked the question was the payer, not the payee - hence my phrasing.

He absolutely said that! It was in a Shiur around 4 years ago. (The place was on the floor laughing!)

I once heard rav noach orleweck say that when he was in school they played baseball during recess and the team captain insisted that when they are up to bat everyone other than the batter has to say tehilim for him to get a hit.
Some of the boys thout it was inappropriate so they went to go ask rav simcha wasserman.  He answere,"if something is important to you then you daven for it!"

Does anyone know why you need to have three whole matzos for the Seder?
Why can't you use a broken middle one and then break it again for יחץ.  Is it only showing לחם עוני if you break a whole matzo?

You are asking why 3 as opposed to 2 and a half?

Why is more chamurdik than Tkias Shofer?
דבר בעיתו מה טוב but
Iirc the mishna Brura doesn't mention the issue of eating before shofar anywhere in hilchos Rosh hashana.  The only makor is in hilchos purim so I imagine he equates the two.
