It's not as if in Lubavitch we never worried about bugs, and never checked the vegetables.

The Mezritcher Maggid's endorsement of the <I>Chavos Yo'ir's chiddush</I> isn't really relevant to visible bugs in vegetables; that's more to do with the copepods in the water.Milhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350874508580081286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-54444697295947759882008-05-15T13:04:00.000-04:002008-05-15T13:04:00.000-04:00Tzig, I think you're wrong on this one.1. Chossid ...Tzig, I think you're wrong on this one.<BR/><BR/>1. <I>Chossid shoteh</I> is when your chassidus comes <I>af yenem's cheshbon</I>. Actually, someone who deliberately transgresses <I>lo sa'amod</I> for the sake of tznius is not a <I>chossid shoteh</I>, he's a <I>rosho</I>; a <I>chossid shoteh</I> is one who doesn't know the difference between <I>ikor</I> and <I>tofel</I>, and honestly thinks tznius is more important than saving lives. But this is all when it's <I>yenem's</I> life; we have many examples from Chazal and from our own nesi'im and chassidim showing that <I>dolce et decorum est pro yiddishkeit mori</I>, so to speak, i.e. that one may and perhaps should be moser nefesh for a <I>dikduk kal shel divrei sofrim</I> or a <I>chassidisher minhog</I>, and surely for an inyan of tznius.<BR/><BR/>2. While <I>pikuach nefesh</I>, and even <I>stam</I> medical necessity, permits crossing the boundaries between the sexes, nobody claims that this is <I>necessary</I>. If a person of the same sex as the patient is available, all else being equal isn't it better to send them rather than someone of the opposite sex? If you had a choice between a male and female doctor, and there was no great reason to choose the female, wouldn't you automatically choose the man? And if you were a woman wouldn't you just as automatically choose the woman?<BR/><BR/>3. For <I>taharos</I> also, I'm sure that if no women are available to be <I>mis'askek</I> with a woman, men can do so, and vice versa. But <I>lechatchila</I> each <I>chevra kadisha</I> has both men and women members, so there will be no need to cross the boundaries, and each <I>meis</I> can be dealt with by members of the same sex. Now surely in such a case there is no <I>cheshash</I> at all of <I>hirhurim</I>! But nevertheless we keep to the boundaries where possible and practical, while remaining ready to cross them where it isn't. <I>Haynt kol sheken</I> when we're dealing with living patients, who have feelings and comfort zones of their own.Milhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14350874508580081286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-711109714804025832008-05-13T18:01:00.000-04:002008-05-13T18:01:00.000-04:00SchneurAre you sarcastic?Schneur<BR/><BR/>Are you sarcastic?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-72664657005393623012008-05-12T17:07:00.000-04:002008-05-12T17:07:00.000-04:00I hear that CH is already training women for Hatzo...I hear that CH is already training women for Hatzolo.
