From an Orthodox enclave it has become Lakewood Midwest. Ironically, I bought a house in a retirement community in Lakewood and thought that when I feel the lachatz of Yeshivishe blackness closing in, I'll escape to Chicago. Now, it's Lakewood I have to escape to. Anyway, here, now, you can't find a barber that will give you a close trim near the ears. The only lasers on the horizon are the Rothschild Space Lasers.Eliezer Eisenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16036989084122930226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6453787673476195995.post-4834816231864746142023-08-27T14:37:37.576-05:002023-08-27T14:37:37.576-05:00I had the same shaila as Reb Tzvi above.

Now that it's almost 10 years later I can say that it's become the norm for men to wax or shave their body. <br />I had a barber that tried to get me to wax and/or Lazer my back neck (and body) saying he has plenty of men (dati) that do it. <br />Yybturnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12475392082466169051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6453787673476195995.post-55951051814100524992014-09-07T20:28:39.820-05:002014-09-07T20:28:39.820-05:00Wow, that's great.

I don't have them, just some PR versions, even though I'm a member of the board. <br />As it says in the intro from my shver and Reb Dovid, and as Rabbi Fuerst said, although Rav Mordechai is absolutely trustworthy, it would not be wise to pasken from this sefer. In our particular case, the issue of which tzibbur is examined to determine frequency might make a tremendous difference. Still, it's very helpful to know that Reb Moshe said this.Eliezer Eisenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16036989084122930226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6453787673476195995.post-47720097842760208702014-09-07T18:48:18.840-05:002014-09-07T18:48:18.840-05:00See Mesores Moshe pg. 248.

I would have written it very differently now, and recently had a conversation with a local Rav as to how to determine 'common practice', In LA it's particularly interesting, common practice changes every few blocks. As I recall there is a GRA, will try to dig it up.<br />He did tell me (not so relevant here) that Rav Elyashiv told him with regards to tzniyus, things that are tzibbur dependent are dependent on the tzibbur that is מקפיד בדברים אלו.<br />Tzvi Hhttp://www.torahlab.org/doitrightnoreply@blogger.com
