it comes from a talmudic concept of stut, or 1/6, as an excessive price differential.
32. No, again, Charles. You don't know me by where I live.
(05.31.09)
...and neither is that a fair assessment to generalize that of others where I live. I am neither a "stone-thrower" a shouter nor one to hurl insults or to call those Jews who opt for a secular life "goyim". Hashem gave us free will to choose, so who are we humans to enforce? As I explain simply to my children, "Just as I wouldn't like you coming to me with insulting things to say about your sister, Hashem doesn't like it when we insult and attack any of His other children". Sinat chinam stinks. Actually READ my previous TB again with a little more of an open mind. I said the main point was "all things being equal", as did the Rabbi. You don't know me, so please do not presume anything about me based on my geography and I won't presume that you would be like the Ex-European, Haredi-hating Petach-Tivkanik who stuck his foot out to trip my "loving-all-Jews" husband for no other reason than because he happens to wear Hasidic garb. Deal?
33. forgot to sign that TB to Charles: from L. from Elad

34. it's already here and there
mike ,   usa   (05.31.09)
wear a star of david and sit in an arab shop. see if you get served a coffee. for 1000's of years, EVERY culture has had those "un-stated" guidelines, whether you are in china, japan, the usa, or europe. It's not "buy american", or "buy arab", or "buy haredi", it's "buy from someone like me (first, if you can)".
35. L. Elad
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (05.31.09)
Elad is build for religious , or more , for very religious people . So that's more than enough for me to know your ideas . When i said that you will insult , it was not specially meant at you , but at those faces we have seen already who did it , or others who do it on this site . Yes i'm a ex European , WEST European , but not Charidi hating person . I dislike it only when they , and other religious , try to impose their lifestyle on me . I never look at the package , only the inside is important .
36. L. Elad
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (05.31.09)
Knowing the antecedents of this Rabbi , what he said some time ago , it's not the same as you write . He talks about people , you about products . A very big difference .
37. Maybe it's because they need money?
Daniela ,   Chicago   (06.02.09)
It could be that this is a matter of financial support because the Hareidi in Israel need the money more ?
38. And then there were none
Rita ,   NY, USA   (06.15.09)
This is a very dangerous man. He is against his own people. We should unite not divide. We have enough enemies. We certainly do not need one of our own to promote hatred.
39. Not a good idea
Sasa Pavlovic ,   Aleksinac, Serbia   (08.24.09)
yeap. 100%.
